Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 88
The voice from the other side of the ocean came from the other end of the phone, and Qi Zheng’s tone was unfamiliar and familiar. After listening to it, Shen Zhibing actually felt that a sense of physical and mental pleasure was sprouting, and there was also a faint excitement.
The pen in her hand was clenched to stabilize her voice and emotions. It was almost the same as the usual meeting in the office, Shen Zhibing replied calmly: “Hello Qizheng, I’m calling you today to ask about some work details. A new person came to the secretary’s office to temporarily take over your job. But there is little experience in program aggregation.”
Qi Zheng cut the fried egg into several pieces with a fork with one hand, listened silently, and shoved a small piece into his mouth. Sweet and sour, really good.
But when she heard Shen Zhibing’s voice, her heart was only sour, not sweet.
From the day he left Haicheng, Qi Zheng said to himself that he would let go of everything in Haicheng and start anew here. Naturally, it also includes the sudden relationship that she did not expect but was suddenly killed at the budding stage of her love.
Shen Zhibing explained the general situation once again, but Ding Meng’s performance could not be tolerated, but she was a little disappointed.
Qi Zheng said lightly after listening, “I left all the report templates to Secretary Yun before I left. Mr. Shen, you can ask Secretary Yun to forward it to Ding Meng. I don’t mind sharing these things.”
“Yun Fei has instructed her, and the report she submitted in the end used your template.” Shen Zhibing sighed softly, “However, the content of the report is always a bit worse.”
Templates without a soul, cookie-cutter.
Qi Zheng’s report has her opinions, interpretations, choices and suggestions, and naturally has her soul.
In the past, I didn’t think that until the change of person, Shen Zhibing realized that the tacit understanding with Qi Zheng has been so deep in the work.
Qi Zheng is silent, this is an individual difference, and she can’t help it.
Shen Zhibing made this call, but did not really want to find a solution from Qi Zheng. It was she who suggested Qi Zheng to study, and it was normal for a newcomer to come to the secretary’s office. Last year, Qi Zheng was also a newcomer.
But Shen Zhibing somehow felt that this was a good reason and could be used as the opening remarks of the contact. She listened to Qi Zheng’s duller voice than usual. Even though she couldn’t see anyone, her mood slowly improved, and she temporarily forgot the disappointment brought by Ding Meng’s work performance.
Qi Zheng put another fried egg in his mouth and drank the coffee at hand. The clock on the wall indicated that there were three minutes left.
Qi Zheng didn’t rush her, didn’t ask her if she had anything else, but didn’t take the initiative to start a new topic.
In the end, Shen Zhibing took the initiative to ask about her situation in the United States, but the silence in the middle took a little more time.
“Are you still getting used to it in the United States? City F is not quite the same as New York. Many people will have some gaps when they first go there.”
Qi Zheng was still indifferent, but said truthfully: “I have never lived abroad before. For me, studying is more important, and the influence of the city is not much different.”
Shen Zhibing seemed to be interested, and wanted to share with her a little bit of experience and anecdotes about living and studying in University B, which was also the experience she experienced there many years ago. Most of the things that can still be mentioned after many years are some happy or beautiful past.
“Then you have a chance to try the hamburger restaurant near the back door of the business school. The burgers there taste very good and the amount is very large. I heard that the boss didn’t change it, and…”
Shen Zhibing’s memory box was just opened, but was suddenly interrupted by Qi Zheng.
“Sorry, Mr. Shen, the time is up.”
Shen Zhibing was startled, as if he hadn’t reacted yet, and asked casually, “What time?”
“We agreed, ten minutes.”
Shen Zhibing was a little annoyed, but he still looked at the screen more seriously. It clearly showed that the call time was six minutes and thirty seconds, where is there ten minutes!
After hearing this, Qi Zheng calmly explained, “It’s ten minutes until our last message.”
According to Shen Zhibing’s usual habits, at this time, she should just hang up without saying goodbye, but today she was reluctant.
Qi Zheng didn’t seem interested in sharing her experience, and Shen Zhibing didn’t say any more.
“If there is nothing else, then I will hang up first.”
Shen Zhibing thought that she emphasized ten minutes just now because there was something important to do later. A lot of things in foreign countries need to make an appointment. If you miss the time, you need to make another appointment, which is also very annoying.
Thinking that Qi Zheng had just arrived there alone, many things had to be handled by himself, and it was normal to be busy. Shen Zhibing suppressed the anger at being reminded to hang up, and said warmly, “If you have something important, go first, and we’ll talk later.”
Without any hesitation, Qi Zheng said ok, then said goodbye, and after that, the call was terminated.
The omelette on the plate had the last two pieces left, and it was a little cold. Qi Zheng added some tomato sauce and ate it. The sour feeling in her mouth was a little heavier, but it was a mild taste, but she was so stimulated that her eyes were almost red.
After drinking the coffee, she put the cups and saucers and the utensils for the fried eggs into the sink. There was nothing important to do, she just didn’t want to have too much contact with Shen Zhibing. She couldn’t shirk anything at work, but except for official business, she didn’t want to have any interaction with President Shen anymore.
Even though they used to be so close.
Even if Qi Zheng thought that she had entered her heart, even if it didn’t occupy a small place, at least there was some.
This kind of thing can’t bear to think about. Qi Zheng put his hands on both sides of the pool to calm himself down as soon as possible.
She is not as sad as before, but she will still be sad. Hearing Shen Zhibing’s voice, many memories were involuntarily evoked. Her heart would still beat faster, because it was attracted by instinct.
But reason reminded her: Shen Zhibing doesn’t love you, don’t be sentimental anymore, and don’t… hope.
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment. Qi Zheng thought that she would heal her heart by removing Shen Zhibing from her life completely.
Doing housework is a good choice, Qi Zheng’s class has not officially started yet. In the past few days, she went to the nearby bank to open a bank account, familiarized herself with the nearby supermarkets and some restaurants, and the rest of the time was cleaning.
I was used to living in a villa on the outskirts of the city, and when I first came, I was not even used to doing housework. Qi Zheng does a part of it every day, and gradually packs the apartment into the way she likes.
Compared with the suburban villa, this apartment near the school is really small and simple. Qi Zheng did not ask to rent a well-decorated high-end apartment. After all, she will have to repay those expenses in the future.
She is not going to go back to the Shen family, this time she is going to breach the contract again.
Qi Zheng shook her head with a wry smile, why has she been desperately trying to earn liquidated damages.
The emotional fluctuations caused by Mr. Shen’s sudden call were gradually smoothed out in the housework. Qi Zheng would still feel sad, but he would not indulge in it all the time. Feelings without results, she just wants to get away as soon as possible.
**
After finishing the call with Qi Zheng, Shen Zhibing had no intention of working, so he simply got off work. She came out of the office with her bag and unexpectedly saw that Ding Meng was still there.
“Have you finished get off work and haven’t gone back yet?”
Today, apart from the activity plan that was issued in a hurry, there is no work that requires overtime. Yun Fei is not a boss who likes to squeeze the personal time of subordinates. As long as it is not necessary, she does not approve of frequent overtime work.
Shen Zhibing doesn’t like overtime culture either, she values efficiency more.
Ding Meng didn’t have the chance to be alone with Shen Zhibing before, so she came to the secretary’s office to meet several times at once, but she was all shocked by President Shen’s aura, and she was a little nervous now.
“I want to study the reports that Qi Zheng left behind.”
Qi Zheng is not a stingy person, and the template she left is not something that only the title and frame are left after emptying all the content. She just erased important data, and also concealed the relevant calculation process and special factors, leaving at least 60% of the content.
This allows Ding Meng to do more with less in the process of learning familiarity, but it takes time to achieve the level of Qizheng.
Shen Zhibing suddenly turned around and walked towards Ding Meng’s position, which made Ding Meng even more nervous.
Shen Zhibing stood beside her, not looking at her, but at the computer screen.
The above are the three reports that Qi Zheng drove out within a week at the end of last year. At that time, she also picked up a lot of faults, but Qi Zheng was always able to fix it quickly according to her ideas.
After watching for a while, Shen Zhibing was still staring at the screen, and said leisurely, “Are these reports difficult?”
Ding Meng used to write reports in the development department, but the focus was different. She has a bit of habitual thinking, and the mental pressure in the secretarial room is even greater, so this time she is too nervous, which is a malfunction.
According to her real level, it’s not that bad.
“Take the time to get familiar with it, but don’t try to imitate it. Everyone has their own style, and the template is just a reference.”
President Shen’s encouragement gave Ding Meng a lot of confidence, but she didn’t know Shen Zhibing, so naturally she couldn’t hear another meaning.
Shen Zhibing doesn’t like Qizheng from the “shanzhai”. If you can’t achieve the “soul” reported by Qizheng, don’t just imitate it.
Back at Yunlu Garden, Shen Zhibing still felt a little strange in his heart. She went to play squash for a while and went home to take a hot shower.
Looking at the phone, it was only ten o’clock. She suddenly remembered that it should be ten o’clock in the morning in City F. At this time, many shops and business establishments opened one after another, gradually gaining popularity.
Shen Zhibing went online and opened a website that had not been logged in for a long time. There were many photos and some diary fragments of her reading period. There is nothing extremely private, but she is too busy with work after returning to China, and she has no time to reminisce about her youth.
But now, Qi Zheng has gone to City F and is about to study for a year and a half at the Business School of University B. This kind of feeling is a little subtle, like Qi Zheng has returned to her past, walked the road she has traveled, and went to see the scenery she has seen.
That night, Shen Zhibing had another dream, a dream she hadn’t experienced for a long time.
The person who hugged her in the dream had a very clear face, it was Qi Zheng. Probably because she knew who the other party was from the very beginning, Shen Zhibing completely relaxed in her dream, and relived those scenes of dancing with her.
It was too real. It was no longer the regret and depression that came to an abrupt end in the past, but she felt a deeper emptiness and loss.
Shen Zhibing woke up leisurely, not in a hurry to take a bath, and let the stickiness remain on her body, disturbing her. She was a little lost, and she couldn’t help thinking of Qi Zheng who would take the initiative to clean up these things for her every time. And her drooping eyes, you can feel the care and concern from her movements and strength without looking at it.
Shen Zhibing’s heart twitched inexplicably, followed by a deeper loss, and continued grief.
She was satisfied in the dream, but when she woke up, she found that the tenderness she wanted was not just in the dream. What she wanted… was that person by her side.
The author says:
President Shen: What I want… is Qi Zheng by my side
Qi Zheng: You want to be beautiful
Author: Mr. Shen, I heard that readers have prepared a 100 chapter dream journey for you. I wish you all the best.
