Source Of Calamity - Ch 28

When Shen Zhen reached the top floor, he had already forgotten about the lunatic person he met in the elevator. This kind of person was really rare. If you meet one, you have a chance of winning the lottery. Most people don’t care about other people’s business.

“This is Shen Zhen.” Brother Ma happened to bring someone over and introduced him to the colleagues behind him, “You can call him Young Master Shen.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

The several people greeted Shen Zhen: “Young Master Shen.”

These people were all assistants. Of course, Qin Xing did not only have Brother Ma as his assistant, but because Brother Ma had a high sense of presence, these people have been suppressed the whole time and who knew when they would have their day to shine.

Shen Zhen: “No need to be so polite, we will be colleagues from now on, just call me Xiao Shen.”

Those people accepted agreeably: “Xiao Shen.”

Shen Zhen smiled: “I’ll go see Uncle first, I’ll introduce myself later, then I’ll be going first.”

Brother Ma approached Shen Zhen and whispered, “Mr. Qin is in a good mood.”

This was to tell Shen Zhen there was no need to be too careful.

Shen Zhen nodded: “Got it.”

The door of Qin Xing’s office was closed, and Shen Zhen knocked on the door before entering.

“Come in.” Qin Xing’s voice came from behind the office door.

Only then did Shen Zhen push the door and walk in.

Shen Zhen walked to the desk and said respectfully, “Uncle.”

Qin Xing raised his head and smiled at Shen Zhen, then pushed the documents at hand towards Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen picked up the documents strangely, and after turning a few pages, he realized that it was the information of the real estate company under his name.

But this company was still just an empty shell, with no one but Shen Zhen as the CEO and Yang Changsheng as the shareholder.

He had been worrying about recruiting people recently.

The possibility of recruiting experienced veteran industry people was very low. There were people scrambling for such talents everywhere. Once they want to leave, the original company would definitely try to persuade them to stay, and the chance of insisting on leaving was very small.

“Look again.” Qin Xing asked Shen Zhen to turn the page.

Shen Zhen found that there was a list at the back, with attached photos. Behind the photos were names, contact information and addresses.

Qin Xing: “They are all your employees.”

Shen Zhen seemed to be hit on the head by a huge pie. He didn’t know all of these people, but he knew one of them. He used to be the manager of a real estate company. Although he was only a manager, he was very famous in the industry and had good vision, earning in whatever he invested in, and his personal ability was very strong, with an annual salary of tens of millions of yuan.

Don’t even mention digging, it was more normal if he suddenly quit and went home to enjoy retirement.

Or start his own company.

But in the end…..Qin Xing actually managed to sign him?

Shen Zhen stood where he was, smiling uncontrollably. He walked up to Qin Xing and bent down obediently: “Uncle, you will spoil me like this.”

He dared to joke with Qin Xing now.

Qin Xing rubbed his hair and smiled softly: “Don’t be so cheap-cute. Uncle has helped Xiao Zhen. How will Xiao Zhen repay Uncle?”

Shen Zhen knew that Qin Xing was joking, Qin Xing had everything after all. So Shen Zhen said, “Didn’t I come to be Uncle’s secretary?”

Qin Xing was amused by Shen Zhen, and he pointed to a desk next to him: “Go, you will work there.”

Clearly there was no such desk before, Brother Ma and the others all worked in other offices, how could they be in the same office as the boss.

However, even if he had doubts, Shen Zhen still didn’t ask.

There were actually not many things that the secretary had to do. The more troublesome work was done by Brother Ma and the others. Shen Zhen only needed to write down Qin Xing’s itinerary, pour tea for Qin Xing, take notes during meetings, and other small things.

Overall, this job was relatively easy.

On the first day when he came to work as a secretary, Shen Zhen spent it checking the notes Brother Ma gave him.

There were a lot of notes, which recorded the appointment phone number of Qin Xing’s favorite restaurant, the type of tea Qin Xing liked to drink, and even its temperature. Shen Zhen opened the drawer, and sure enough, there was even a small food thermometer.

It took Shen Zhen a day to read through the notebook, and he closed it only after he was sure that he remembered it well.

To be honest, Shen Zhen suddenly felt that Brother Ma probably knew Qin Xing the best in the world. Apart from not knowing what Qin Xing was thinking, Brother Ma knew all of Qin Xing’s habits.

Shen Zhen was full of admiration for Brother Ma.

After getting off work, Shen Zhen got into the car with Qin Xing. They had to go to a party. This time the party was not as serious as the previous business gatherings. This time the party was a reception, and guests could bring female companions or go alone.

There was chatting and tasting wine, and the hotel rooms were just upstairs, so one could also do something else.

The waiters were trained, male and female, to know that they could not refuse a guest’s advances.

Of course, they would be paid most handsomely for it.

When Shen Zhen and Qin Xing arrived, the hotel was already very lively. When Shen Zhen stepped into the door, he even felt that he had come to a new world. Everyone had on a smiling mask. The women wore back showing evening gowns, appearing graceful and enchanting, while the men pretended to be serious, but their hands were either placed on the woman’s waist or on her thigh.

“It’s really hot inside.” Someone said lowly next to him.

Except for Qin Xing, no one brought the juniors of the family over on such an occasion. Everyone here was the head of the family, both male and female.

The men were followed by voluptuous women.

Next to the women were handsome young men.

“Mr. Qin.”

“Mr. Qin, what a rare honor.”

“Mr. Qin even brought someone with him, this is Xiao Shen, right?”

……

As soon as Qin Xing walked in, people surrounded him, but this time Qin Xing didn’t let Shen Zhen play by himself like last time, but introduced: “This is my most beloved child.”

Everyone: “Mr. Qin is like this, he has always been very kind to the juniors.”

“Xiao Shen is very talented and handsome, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future.”

No one mentioned Qin Yue, as if this person never existed.

They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so how could they not see Qin Xing’s current attitude towards Qin Yue.

Qin Xing wanted to teach Qin Yue a lesson, of course they would not stop him, after all Qin Yue was not their son and had no relationship with them. Offending Qin Xing for Qin Yue’s sake was something done by the braindead.

A waiter happened to pass by. Shen Zhen picked up two glasses of brandy and handed one to Qin Xing: “Uncle.”

After Qin Xing took it, he smiled and clinked glasses with these people.

In a place unknown to Shen Zhen, someone in the company’s large chat group suddenly sent a message:

[Anonymous]: After finishing work today, I saw a person on the elevator during work hours. The elevator was going to the top floor. I also carefully observed his badge. He is from the media department. When has the media department been able to go upstairs?

[Media Department-Zhang Han]: What do you mean? Are you saying that someone in our media department wanted to go to the top floor to steal information?

[R&D Department-Li Ming]: Zhang Han, you really watched too much TV. I think he means that someone in your media department wants to see if they could have a chance meeting with Mr. Qin.

[Media Department-Zhang Han]: Isn’t our boss an ascetic monk? How many people who want to try their luck have been fired before? Anyone with a bit of brain won’t go, right?

[Anonymous]: Otherwise, why would he go to the top floor? Borrow the toilet on the top floor? Is the toilet on the top floor more fragrant?

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: Let me tell you, the toilet on the top floor really does smell better. I went there last year when I was helping our department head submit documents. The incense is different from what we use. It smells so good I almost didn’t want to come out.

[Anonymous]: …..Chen Xiao, shut up!

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: Are you sick in the head? You are still anonymous, and the chat owner! Turn off the anonymity and see what monsters and ghosts are behind that mask. If someone went to the top floor to try their luck, they would definitely be fired tomorrow. If they really went to the top floor because of work, then you are ruining their reputation. Do you mean to say that those of us in small departments are not qualified, so we don’t deserve to go to the top floor? I went there last year, how is it, are you angry? Are you angry? Get angry to death.

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: You don’t have any skills worth a fart, but you’re quite capable at slandering people behind the scenes. If you have the guts, you also chase them to the top floor to see if they are trying to seduce Mr. Qin? If you are a woman, then you are really a gossip hag, and if you are a man, then you are not even as good as a gossip hag.

[Media Department-Zhang Han]: Sister Chen calm down.

[R&D Department-Li Ming]: Sister Chen calm down.

[Information Department-Jiang Chen]: Sister Chen calm down.

[Anonymous]: Chen Xiao, you are crazy!

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: I just can’t stand your ugly face. If you have time to slander people, you might as well do your own job. Usually gossiping is fine, but this time there is no evidence, just because of an elevator meet you want to b*tch about it. Did you also b*tch last year that I was going to seduce Mr. Qin?

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: There is no evidence yet you be b*tching. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the shitty sees shit. You’d better not let me know who you are, or I will go to admire your dignified face tomorrow.

Ten minutes later——

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: Where’s the person?

[R&D Department-Li Ming]: Sister Chen, you scolded them away.

[Information Department-Chen Xiao]: Hmph, no balls.

Shen Zhen, who was drinking at this time, didn’t know that a gossip about him had ended before it even started.

“Drink less.” Qin Xing turned his head and reminded Shen Zhen during the conversation with others. He put his arm around Shen Zhen’s shoulder and brought Shen Zhen to him. The distance between the two was very close, and their posture was intimate, but also very upright, and would not make people want get crooked ideas.

Qin Xing said: “Eat some cake, don’t drink on an empty stomach.”

Shen Zhen was already feeling a little dizzy. He knew he couldn’t drink well, so he would stop if he felt a little intoxicated.

Qin Xing said to the person standing opposite: “Children, sometimes they just don’t know how to control themselves.”

The man on the opposite side had a beer belly and a huge gemstone ring on his finger. He said with a smile: “Young people, they’re all like this. Who doesn’t know that Mr. Qin used to drink well.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “No longer now.”

Shen Zhen listened in a daze. Although he didn’t drink much, it was mixed alcohol. He drank a little brandy, champagne, and whiskey, and he was already dizzy from it. But Shen Zhen had an advantage. He wouldn’t show his intoxication on his face when he was drunk. He would obediently sit aside, and would answer if someone talked to him, but the response was very slow, and sometimes the words were not very logical.

But not losing his composure was also an advantage.

“Drunk?” Qin Xing put his hand on Shen Zhen’s shoulder, lowered his body and asked in Shen Zhen’s ear, “Do you want to sleep?”

Qin Xing’s breath sprayed on Shen Zhen’s ear, Shen Zhen reached to touch it, but didn’t end up touching his ear, and instead touched Qin Xing’s lips. Shen Zhen raised his head to look at Qin Xing in confusion, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were also slightly red-rimmed, but very misty, which made him look very docile and well-behaved, without his usual cold and aloof aura.

“Let’s go back.” Shen Zhen said.

But he sat still.

After a few seconds, Shen Zhen held up a cake: “Uncle, eat the cake.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Qin Xing smiled, leaned closer and whispered, “Xiao Zhen, feed it to uncle.”

Sure enough, Shen Zhen obediently fed Qin Xing with a fork. Qin Xing didn’t mind that the fork was used by Shen Zhen, and he ate it with Shen Zhen’s hand. Qin Xing praised: “Xiao Zhen, it’s so sweet.”

Shen Zhen smiled: “Sweet, right?”
