128: Does Mr. Chen need your small gift?

Cultural Industry Group.

Engineering Department.

"Manager Zhao, here is the information you requested."

"Hmm, just put it on the table."

The middle-aged man in his early forties said without lifting his head.

Zhao Yuan had taken over Ma Du's position after he was taken away.

Zhao Yuan could also be considered one of Li Cheng's people.

But unlike Ma Du, Zhao Yuan was the type who worked in a down-to-earth manner.

His business capabilities were outstanding and his professional skills were solid, but because he was always lacking in social graces and networking, he had never been able to get promoted.

Originally, Zhao Yuan had already resigned himself to his fate, thinking that living a steady life would be quite good enough.

But he never expected that once the new president arrived, he would take down Ma Du, and he himself would become the luckiest person.

His phone chimed.

He opened it to see a WeChat message from an engineering boss he knew.

"I heard President Chen is celebrating his Housewarming Banquet tomorrow? Does Manager Zhao know what hobbies President Chen usually has?"

Zhao Yuan was slightly stunned after seeing the message.

President Chen's Housewarming Banquet?

Where did he get this news? Is it real or fake?

And...

He was just a small technical manager in the Engineering Department; he rarely saw President Chen on a daily basis, so why ask him about his hobbies?

Zhao Yuan shook his head slightly and put down his phone, planning to reply later.

However, in the next half hour, he received similar messages from three or four other engineering bosses.

This left Zhao Yuan feeling puzzled.

Does President Chen really have a Housewarming Banquet?

Otherwise, why would these people all be rushing to give gifts?

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and decided to go find Li Cheng to confirm.

He came to Li Cheng's office.

"President Li, I wonder if you have heard about President Chen's Housewarming Banquet tomorrow?"

Zhao Yuan asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng looked up at him in surprise.

"How did you know?"

Zhao Yuan's expression froze.

It's actually true!

He said helplessly.

"In this hour alone, several engineering bosses have come to ask me about this, so it's hard not to know."

Li Cheng frowned deeply.

Could it be that someone leaked it yesterday?

That's not right; they should be hoping only they knew about it...

"Could it be that He Yongliang has decided to just give up and let everything go to ruin?"

Li Cheng could only think of this possibility.

Immediately, he waved his hand at Zhao Yuan.

"Don't pay attention to them."

After saying that, he noticed that he was still standing there with a hesitant expression.

A guess surfaced in Li Cheng's mind.

He looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise.

"But you also want to give President Chen a gift, right?"

Zhao Yuan, whose thoughts had been exposed, looked embarrassed for a moment.

He did indeed have that thought.

If Chen Qiu hadn't parachuted in to become the president, it would never have been his turn to sit in Ma Du's position.

Seeing this, Li Cheng was very puzzled.

This Zhao Yuan had always been by the book; he hadn't even given him a gift before. Now he had suddenly become enlightened and was thinking of giving Chen Qiu a gift?

"Is this something you should be considering?"

"Doing your job well is the best reward for President Chen!"

Li Cheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuan nodded and retreated from Li Cheng's office with an embarrassed face.

"Any Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to join the table now."

Li Cheng recalled the names of the engineering bosses Zhao Yuan had just mentioned and sneered, shaking his head.

However, what he didn't know was that it wasn't just Zhao Yuan; many employees in the Engineering Department within the group had been probed for information by external engineering bosses today.

After all, who had actually interacted with this President Chen?

And the employees of the Cultural Industry Group had become their source for gathering information.

Information was spreading within the group.

Huang Jun was also preparing to share this with Shao Shushuang.

He had only recently learned that Shao Shushuang had become the team leader of the Culture and Tourism Bureau specifically assigned to coordinate with their Cultural Industry Group.

This made him very happy for a while.

This meant that he could have more common topics with Shao Shushuang!

Huang Jun opened the chat page with Shao Shushuang.

The last message was still the "good morning" he had sent her yesterday.

Hmm, no reply.

However, Huang Jun could completely understand.

She had just been entrusted with an important task by her leader, so it was normal for her to be busy!

After thinking about it, he still shared the news with Shao Shushuang.

After sending the message, he put down his phone.

It was work time now, so Shao Shushuang definitely wouldn't reply...

Ding~

The screen suddenly lit up; Shao Shushuang had replied.

"Where did you get this news?"

Replied in seconds!

Huang Jun, experiencing this for the first time, was stunned, then deeply moved.

I knew it, she has me in her heart!

Huang Jun's fingers tapped quickly on the screen, explaining the rumors he had heard to Shao Shushuang.

Culture and Tourism Bureau.

After reading Huang Jun's explanation, Shao Shushuang ignored the small talk he sent afterwards and turned to call her best friend, who was now also her comrade on the same front, Zhang Mantong.

As soon as the call connected, Shao Shushuang went straight to the point.

"Do you know about President Chen's Housewarming Banquet tomorrow?"

"I know, he told me..."

"If you knew, why didn't you tell me!?"

Shao Shushuang was furious.

Moreover, she could hear that Zhang Mantong's tone was somewhat troubled and depressed.

"Why, are you not planning to go?"

"I just don't know in what capacity to go..."

Zhang Mantong said hesitantly.

"You've already done..."

Shao Shushuang said, frustrated by her lack of resolve, but before she could finish, she was directly interrupted by Zhang Mantong.

"So what if we did?"

"Before this, even you didn't know about my relationship with him."

"If I go there claiming to be his girlfriend, what if I run into the real one? How awkward would that be!?"

Shao Shushuang was stunned for a moment.

She realized that her best friend really saw things quite clearly in this regard.

"Then you should go as a friend, as an Internet Celebrity under his company!"

Shao Shushuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

This was a great opportunity to get recognized in front of Chen Qiu's friends and family; how could she miss it!?

Maybe she could even scout out their potential rivals!

"I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Shao Shushuang said in a serious voice; she prepared to go and offer congratulations in the capacity of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

After hanging up the phone, she got up and went to the door of Director He's office.

An Yi, who was on his way to Hero City for a meeting, suddenly received a message from his daughter, An Wan.

"Dad, our boss is celebrating his Housewarming Banquet tomorrow. Should a small secretary like me give a gift?"

After reading what she sent, An Yi shook his head and laughed.

"Why, does your President Chen lack that bit of your gift?"

"But if everyone else sends one and I don't, wouldn't I stand out too much?"

"Then what do you want to give?"

"Given President Chen's status, ordinary little things definitely won't catch his eye. Since I'm giving one, I certainly can't be perfunctory! But Dad, your daughter is a bit short on cash lately..."

An Yi realized that giving a gift was just an excuse; she was asking for money!

"Given your President Chen's status, there's no need to send anything expensive. Just send some tea; it's the thought that counts."

"No, Dad, you don't understand our President Chen..."

An Yi smiled, turned off his phone screen, and looked up to instruct the secretary in front.

"Tomorrow, have Xiao Zhong handle something..."
