37: Chapter 37 Something terrible has happened! The CEO has finally appeared!

The next day.

Because his slacking-off value had risen so quickly yesterday—gaining over 3,000 in a single day—he was now only 5,000 away from being able to draw a prize.

This made Qin Xun quite excited; he woke up early in the morning before his alarm even rang.

After washing up, he did something unprecedented: he rode his e-bike to deliver food early in the morning.

He wanted to squeeze in one more "slacking-off" delivery before work to help boost his progress toward the lucky draw.

Once he got to work, he would go find Liu Yiyi to catch up and try to finish off that slacking-off value in a day or two.

Time to win the big prize!

He took an order for breakfast three kilometers away. It took Qin Xun 40 minutes, and he delivered it right at the deadline, earning himself a negative review from the customer.

He was very happy.

His bad habit of slacking off had been validated by another customer.

He gained 10 points of slacking-off value.

Checking the time, it was already 8:30 AM, exactly the time he usually arrived at work just in the nick of time.

Suddenly.

He saw a bunch of unread messages in the WeChat work group.

He clicked in to take a look.

"Received!"

"Received!"

"Received!"

...

The replies were neatly aligned.

He scrolled up and saw that Cheng Wan had posted an announcement.

"To all our partners at Oak Tree, because our company's General Manager will begin working officially today, we are holding an impromptu morning meeting. Please dress in standard attire and arrive on time."

"Did he finally get released after soliciting prostitutes?"

Qin Xun felt a bit uneasy, sensing that his appearance would disrupt his pleasant rhythm of slacking off.

Suddenly, he realized it was already 8:30 AM and felt that things were looking bad.

He was currently in the opposite direction from the company, 3 kilometers further away than usual.

If he left now, when he usually arrived exactly on time, wouldn't he be late today?

Wouldn't he get docked 30 yuan for being late?

Giving the General Manager a "welcome gift" by being late on his first day seemed a bit rude, didn't it?

He would probably be targeted as a troublemaker!

I must give the General Manager a good impression.

I have to let him know that I am a civilized, progressive, work-loving, and never-slacking-off model citizen!

"Take the long way!"

After a moment of thought, Qin Xun hopped on his e-bike, twisted the throttle, and heard a buzzing sound.

This was an electric motorcycle.

It was third-hand, but it had plenty of power.

He headed straight toward the mountain roads on the outskirts of Haicheng, planning to avoid the congested e-bikes, traffic lights, and elderly ladies crossing the street in the city center, and take a big detour to reach the company.

Qin Xun immediately activated Overclocking Mode, and the wind whistled past his ears.

Five or six minutes later, the electric motorcycle hit the mountain road.

The road was winding and rugged.

Fortunately, the road surface was in good condition, and there were no other vehicles.

Qin Xun's speed increased even more!

Suddenly!

He heard a roaring sound behind him. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw a black motorcycle approaching from afar, catching up.

It must be a motorcycle enthusiast.

The crazy kind.

The sane ones only go out to rev their engines on the streets at night.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

A dense and shrill sound rang out.

The motorcycle caught up to Qin Xun's side.

Qin Xun turned his head to look and saw that the person on the motorcycle was wearing a black helmet and had a slightly chubby build.

The person turned their head, raised a middle finger, and a voice came from inside the tightly wrapped helmet.

It was low and magnetic, but impossible to distinguish whether it was male or female.

"An e-bike has the nerve to come on the mountain road?"

With that, the motorcycle rode off into the distance, leaving Qin Xun far behind.

Qin Xun had a bit of a temper; could he endure this?

He twisted the throttle to the end and gave chase.

The current stretch was a straight road, and he was being left further and further behind, but Qin Xun knew that the next section had over a dozen curves.

He didn't believe this motorcycle dared to take corners without slowing down like he did.

On a straight road, you just need to twist the throttle, but corners require skill.

In Overclocking Mode, with the throttle pinned and his speed not dropping a bit, Qin Xun finally caught up to the motorcycle on the 10th curve.

Niu Xiaojun, on the motorcycle, was shocked to see Qin Xun catch up. She slowed down, turned to look at Qin Xun, and was just about to compliment his riding skills.

Perhaps they could even become riding buddies.

Instead, she heard Qin Xun loudly mocking her.

"With skills like that, you have the nerve to try leaning into corners?"

After saying this, he executed a beautiful lean, his body almost scraping the ground, and rode right past her.

Niu Xiaojun was stunned.

"Hey!"

"Damn you!"

She twisted the throttle and leaned into the corner.

She was fast, but slower than Qin Xun.

Afterward, there was another short straight road.

Niu Xiaojun caught up to Qin Xun and shouted,

"Screw you!"

Qin Xun wasn't about to put up with her; he turned his head and retorted,

"Screw your mother!"

Another corner.

He left Niu Xiaojun behind again.

Then, another straight road.

Niu Xiaojun caught up and cursed again,

"You son of a bitch!"

Qin Xun retorted,

"You subhuman trash!"

This repeated for the next eight or nine curves.

They cursed at each other eight or nine times.

Neither of them managed to protect their family trees.

...

Ten-plus minutes later.

They entered the city.

Qin Xun and Niu Xiaojun rode side-by-side at a snail's pace, slowly following behind the flood of commuters on e-bikes.

The two of them were still relentlessly trading insults.

"Beast!"

"Dog!"

"Bastard!"

"Mongrel!"

...

They became a beautiful sight on the road.

The e-bikes nearby were too scared to get close to them.

Suddenly.

Qin Xun saw a few traffic police officers standing at the traffic light intersection ahead from a distance, not knowing if they were checking for helmets or e-bike license plates.

However, Haicheng bans motorcycles.

Regardless of whether it's a gas-powered motorcycle or an electric one.

Niu Xiaojun took a look from afar, turned her head, lifted her helmet visor, revealing her eyes and nose, and looked coldly at Qin Xun.

"Kid, remember my face."

"I have important business to attend to today, so I'll let you off the hook for now."

She emphasized her tone and continued.

"Tomorrow morning at six, I'll be waiting for you on the mountain."

With that, she rode her motorcycle, turned the handlebars toward a side road on the left, and avoided the traffic police who were inspecting.

"A woman?"

"A tomboy?"

Qin Xun shook his head, thinking she was very childish.

Watching her retreating figure, he sneered and muttered,

"Idiot, there are traffic police waiting for you at that intersection too."

After saying this, he drove his bike directly onto the sidewalk, found a place crowded with a pile of messily parked e-bikes, and shoved his electric motorcycle in.

It was hidden inside, pretending to be just an ordinary e-bike.

Afterward, he scanned a shared e-bike and, at full throttle, sped toward the company.

...

Finally, Qin Xun arrived at the company just in time.

He sat at his workstation, unbuttoned a button, and released the heat trapped inside.

Suddenly.

He turned his head to look at Xia Ning, seeing her wearing a mask with a hint of pain between her brows.

"Xiao Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Ning turned to look at Qin Xun.

"It's nothing, maybe I caught the flu. My stomach hurts a bit."

Qin Xun was very heartwarming.

"Drink more hot water."

Xia Ning: "..."

Qin Xun looked around and saw that every colleague was dressed very sharply today—white shirts, black trousers, looking as formal as a pyramid scheme company. He looked down at his own T-shirt and couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied.

It's like when someone who is late for class sees someone else who is also late; it makes them feel much better.

When you commit an offense, it's better to have a companion!

Right now, he felt very lonely.

His gaze landed far away on the General Manager's office, and he whispered to Xia Ning.

"Xiao Xia, where is our beloved General Manager?"

Xia Ning was a bit surprised.

"You're not calling him a son of a bitch anymore?"

Qin Xun waved his hands repeatedly.

"That never happened. I have always been a civilized person; how could I use foul language?"

Xia Ning snorted, turned her head away, and couldn't be bothered to look at him anymore.

This guy was an expert at changing with the wind.

Now that the "General Manager" was about to appear, he wouldn't call him a "son of a bitch" anymore, but instead called him "beloved"?
