63: Chapter 63 What are you all doing at this perfectly good victory celebration? Are you even trying to kill me?

Cheng Wan led the applause.

Thunderous applause erupted in the restaurant, genuinely heartfelt.

Niu Xiaojun listened to the applause, turned to look at Qin Xun, and felt a bit uncomfortable.

Thinking about how he had insulted her on the mountain that day, she had wanted to fire him, but Xia Ning had stopped her.

To accommodate Qin Xun's mood, Xia Ning even told her to appear less at the company.

But today, she still had to celebrate his success.

This really was... a humiliating disgrace!

The applause lasted for half a minute before gradually dying down.

Cheng Wan continued.

"Now, let us invite our protagonist of the day—Qin Xun—to share his thoughts."

Qin Xun pretended to be bashful as he stood up.

He looked around and saw all his colleagues looking at him with envy.

Xia Ning was sitting in the area with the lower-level employees, a faint, gentle smile on her face.

Finally, his gaze drifted lightly onto the face of Niu Xiaojun beside him, and he smiled.

"Good afternoon, President Niu!"

Niu Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then a rather unattractive smile gradually forced its way onto her stern face.

She looked at Qin Xun, smiled, and nodded.

"Good afternoon!"

Seeing this, Qin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, as long as an employee's own value is sufficient to bring huge profits to the company.

Then that employee can occasionally outshine their master.

If I smile, you have to smile too.

At least maintain harmony on the surface.

Then I should be able to stay in this company and slack off boldly from now on!

Meanwhile, Niu Xiaojun felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.

This goddamn bastard!

I just ignored his greeting and gave him the cold shoulder, and now he's hitting me back in front of everyone?

Qin Xun turned his head, looked at the colleagues at the dining table, and said loudly.

"I know, some people might think I'm stupid."

"Since President Zhao Dehai clearly wanted to buy my personal Douyin account, why did I sign a cooperation contract through the company instead of just running away and taking the 1 million directly?"

"Wouldn't I have made a fortune that way?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in an uproar.

The colleagues widened their eyes, unable to help but feel a sense of awe toward Qin Xun.

Holy crap!

This young man is so brave!

Is this something that can be said out loud?

Some people spoke up.

"No."

"No, no."

"I've never thought that."

...

Niu Xiaojun suddenly looked up and glared at Qin Xun.

She thought to herself.

That's right, given this bastard's character, shouldn't he have run off with the money?

Could it be that he...

Niu Xiaojun turned to look at Xia Ning in the corner, frowning slightly.

Xia Ning was standing in the corner, expressionless, impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.

Is there something fishy going on?

Could this be... the power of love?

As the host, Cheng Wan was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Sincerity really is the ultimate killer move; it's both ruthless and accurate!

Just as she was at a loss for what to do, Qin Xun spoke again, sounding high-minded and righteous.

"Why didn't I leave?"

"Because I said, love the job you do. The company is my home, and maintaining it relies on everyone."

"I am very grateful to the Oak Tree platform for helping me grow."

Hearing Qin Xun's words, Cheng Wan was as excited as if she'd been injected with adrenaline, clapping frantically.

"Well said!"

The colleagues were shocked by Qin Xun's words.

This... this... this...

Besides Cheng Wan, no one believes this, right?

How can you say such things?

Do you have no shame?

Although they thought this, they had no choice but to say "Good" through gritted teeth and applaud along.

Xia Ning reached out and clapped softly, her heart becoming even more confused.

Is this still him?

Is this person... actually sick?

Or does he have an even grander scheme?

Listening to the enthusiastic applause, Qin Xun bowed slightly, staring at the floor, feeling helpless inside.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run off with the money, but compared to 1 million, an environment where he could slack off was more important.

He had interned at three companies in total.

The bosses either went to jail or got into car accidents; bosses as hard to kill as Fatty Niu were rare.

The applause stopped.

Cheng Wan smiled and said loudly.

"Next, let us invite President Niu to announce some good news."

Upon hearing this, Niu Xiaojun was somewhat reluctant; she quietly rubbed her hands, stood up, and turned to look at Qin Xun.

Qin Xun also looked at Niu Xiaojun.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere was subtle.

Niu Xiaojun was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted Qin Xun's shoulder heavily in an encouraging manner, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile on her face.

"Qin Xun, thank you for taking care of my family the other day."

Qin Xun: "..."

In an instant, he realized that day was the day they had cursed at each other.

He had cursed at her the whole way.

Fuck your mother.

Fuck your sister.

Fuck your grandmother.

But... you call this taking care of family?

Feeling the burning pain on his shoulder, Qin Xun smiled and reached out to pat Niu Xiaojun's shoulder.

"I also thank you for taking care of my family!"

Xia Ning sat in the corner; she understood their "code," and her brows gradually furrowed.

This scene looked harmonious, but in reality, it was full of gunpowder.

Are these two clowns really going to fight in front of the whole company?

Upon hearing this, the colleagues were shocked, and their gazes toward Qin Xun became strange.

No wonder he is so favored in the company; it turns out that besides his ability, he also has a private friendship with the general manager?

Their relationship has already reached the point of taking care of each other's families?

Are they relatives?

Or... uh...?

Niu Xiaojun looked at Qin Xun, stared for a good while, and then let go.

She wore a fake smile, appearing very dignified.

"I'm a straightforward person, so let's get straight to the point!"

She looked at the colleagues in the restaurant.

"First, promoting Qin Xun to a junior manager position. His salary will be adjusted accordingly, effective next month."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in an uproar.

He hasn't even been here for a month, and he's gone from an intern to a manager in eight consecutive jumps?

"Second, in addition to the 300,000 bonus mentioned last time, I'm giving another 50,000 as a reward for the 'Wedding Dancing Girl' campaign planning."

"It will be issued at the end of the month along with the salary."

The whole room of colleagues was envious again!

The bonus he got this month is higher than the two-year salary of many people present.

Comparing people to people is infuriating!

Speaking of this, Niu Xiaojun glanced at Xia Ning, who was sitting in the corner with a faint smile on her face, and frowned.

She turned her head, looked at Qin Xun, feeling very reluctant; she swallowed and cleared her throat again.

"Ahem... ahem..."

"Um... um... I... I will give you... give you..."

At this point, she sighed heavily.

Seeing this, everyone felt it was a bit strange.

What kind of reward is this, that it would make the president show such an awkward expression?

Qin Xun was also confused, staring at Niu Xiaojun's chubby face.

Niu Xiaojun coughed twice more and then struggled to speak again.

"I... will give you... to do..."

Suddenly, Qin Xun's scalp went numb, and he stepped back, knocking over the chair behind him.

He shouted urgently.

"I won't do it!"

"I definitely won't do it!"

"I don't want to do you!"

The entire restaurant was silent; it seemed all the colleagues had stopped breathing.

Daring not to take a deep breath.

This...

This... are the unspoken rules being put out in the open now?

Is this something we are allowed to hear?

Who said looking good can't be used to make a living?

Isn't Qin Xun eating quite well?

Promotions, raises, bonuses—it's enough to make people die of envy!

Xia Ning was dumbfounded: "!!!!"

What the hell?

Niu Xiaojun was stunned; she glanced at the colleagues, and seeing them lower their heads when they met her gaze, not daring to look at her.

Her round face flushed red like an apple!

Suddenly!

"Fuck your mother!"

Niu Xiaojun rushed toward Qin Xun, her hands grabbing onto Qin Xun's neck.

"Who the hell asked you to do that?!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Qin Xun broke free from Niu Xiaojun's hands, used a dragon-claw grip on her head, and grabbed her hair.

"Little Fatty!"

"Die for me!"

Xia Ning stood up, looking astonished.

???

He's copying me?
