FMLRWS Chapter 653

On the other side, in the meeting room, the planning department manager was discussing the progress of collaboration with other companies.

After finishing, he nervously looked at Leng Minxing, afraid that he would feel their progress was too slow.

When he saw his boss’s frown, his heart raced, and he felt doomed.

Leng Minxing held an electronic pen in one hand, tapping on the desk with the other. He was worried about Luo Xi, fearing she might not adapt to the work environment and that someone might bully her as the new employee. He completely missed what his subordinate said. He was unaware that everyone else in the room was bowing their heads, holding their breath, and waiting for him to speak. The atmosphere was truly oppressive.

Especially the planning department manager, whose legs felt weak. He was afraid that Leng Minxing would order him to pack up and leave.

Only Xu Guan, who understood Leng Minxing well, realized that Leng Minxing’s thoughts were far from the meeting’s content.

He couldn’t help but cough.

Only then did Leng Minxing look up at the manager, and after about two seconds, he slowly said, “Continue tracking the progress. The meeting is adjourned.”

Everyone waiting to speak: “…” It’s over just like that?

A meeting would usually take at least two hours, sometimes a whole morning.

It’s over in just half an hour?

Despite their confusion, everyone sighed in relief.

Back in the president’s office, Leng Minxing took out his phone and texted Luo Xi.

In the finance department, the quiet environment was suddenly interrupted by a notification ding.

Everyone exchanged glances. “Who’s that? It’s work time and they don’t have their phone on silent. If Manager Zhang hears it, we’re in trouble.”

“Seriously, they’re so bold.”

“It should be that new girl…”

Luo Xi’s face turned red as she hurriedly took out her phone to silence it. Seeing it was a message from Leng Minxing made her pause for a moment. Noticing everyone staring at her, she quickly replied, “I’m at work, don’t message me,” then shut off her phone.

On the other side, Leng Minxing saw the message: “…”

Seeing her flustered, Zhao Ze tried to comfort her. “It’s not as bad as they say. It’s your first day, so Sister Zhang won’t hold it against you.” He smiled brightly.

Luo Xi nodded and focused back on her spreadsheets.

After a long morning of memorizing all the data, she thought the manager would call her to review the results, but she simply glanced at her and walked away.

This left Luo Xi puzzled. Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Ze enthusiastically spoke up, “Luo Xi, want to grab lunch? Come on! I know a great restaurant.”

Luo Xi frowned. Although he meant well, she didn’t appreciate such enthusiasm and directly declined, “No, thank you.” She then turned to leave.

Zhao Ze’s expression turned ugly.

It was the first time the others had seen him fail to ask someone out, and they exchanged bewildered glances.

Zhao Ze was the finance department manager’s nephew, good-looking, which made him popular in the company. Many women in the finance department had ambiguous relationships with him. When Luo Xi arrived, they thought he would definitely make a move, but they didn’t expect Luo Xi to give him no chance at all.

Some male colleagues secretly laughed, while some female colleagues were silently jealous.

Meanwhile, Luo Xi went straight to the top floor and headed to the president’s office.

Leng Minxing was already waiting for her. Seeing her frowning as she entered, he raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Is work really busy?” He noticed she hadn’t even been on her phone.

Although the company had rules against using phones during work hours, many people had chat software logged in on their computers. As long as it didn’t affect their work, everyone turned a blind eye.
