Chapter 672 - You Will Do Better
Chapter 672: You Will Do Better
There were countless departments filled with elites. Even the cleaner auntie needed to be on her toes all the time in case someone would play tricks and cause her to lose her job.
The internal politics in the Chu Enterprise was scary inside the office, it would be filled with all sorts of conflicts and fights all the time. There was no denying of Chu Lui’s capabilities in doing business and also his abilities in managing the company.
He directly turned his office into a battlefield: those who could survive would rise to the top, level by level. Those who could not would fall right to the bottom of the pyramid and be buried alive by the people on top. Hence, no employee dared to make a mistake; if not, all their effort and hard work would turn to naught.
Yes, the welfare here was good, and the salary was high; however, the politics were equally scary.
However, Xia Ruoxin did not know anything about the difference between the first floor and the seventeenth. To the other employees, her floor was akin to heaven.
“Ms. Xia, this is your office. If you need anything, do call me on the phone. Oh, right.” She pointed at the staff card on her chest. “I am on the first floor, and my employee number is fifteen so if Ms. Xia needs to look for me, just dial ‘0115’.”
“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin bowed to the number-fifteen receptionist, which gave her a shock; and there was a look of embarrassment on her face.
Also, Xia Ruoxin asked sheepishly, “May I know, what is my job?”
“It’s actually really simple.” The receptionist walked over and took out a stack of documents from the table. “Everything you need to do is written on this. The company has a charity event to sponsor children with unfortunate backgrounds to learn an artistic skill. All the expenses would be paid by the company. This is only the trial phase, and after it has been tested, we will slowly expand it.”
After her explanation, Xia Ruoxin still had some doubts.
“May I know if there’s anything else?” Her polite mannerism, presentable smile, and professional way of speaking showed that the staff in Chu Enterprise were of decent quality.
“Nothing, thank you.” Xia Ruoxin shook her head. Actually, she did not want to trouble her anymore. Since this was only the trial phase and it had not officially started yet, she still had some time to understand it so there was no rush.
“Then, I’ll go down first.” The receptionist smiled politely. After she went down, Xia Ruoxin then sat down in her office. Honestly, she felt that her status had changed all of a sudden. It could not stay the same as the environment, dressing, and the people she was in touch with were different so the mindset would change along with them as well.
At that time, the phone on the table rang. She took the phone, and her voice was a bit shaky. After all, it was her first time so she would be lying if she said she was not nervous.
“Ruoxin…”
The voice from the other end was Chu Lui’s.
Xia Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief. Someone she knew, even if it was an enemy, would still be better than being in a crowd of strangers.
“Yes, it’s me.” She took the phone and stood up. Even though the seventeen story-high building was not considered tall, but it could cover many things.
“How’s your first day of work?” The voice was brimming with professionalism, but Xia Ruoxin could still hear the care within his voice.
“It’s okay, thanks.” Xia Ruoxin picked up a pen and started spinning it.
“Chu Lui, can I ask you a question?” After much hesitation, she still decided to ask this question.
“Ask away.” Chu Lui leaned back as if in a good mood; the black aura around him had lightened up quite a bit.
“I want to know…” Xia Ruoxin paused. She was serious.
“Did you purposely let me into your office? Did you purposely arrange this job for me? I know my own abilities. I don’t have much academic knowledge or working experience. If it’s moving things, I do have a three-year experience; but Chu Lui, this isn’t moving things or doing physical things. Are you making life easy for me?”
She was not silly; neither was she a fool. If it was not this easy, it was not something that someone like her could complete so Chu Lui must have done it on purpose.
“Yes.” Chu Lui admitted as he stood up and walked to a full-length window.
“I did it on purpose. Based on your personality, I know you wouldn’t want money if I gave it to you directly. However, Ruoxin, have you ever thought? Rainy is still my daughter. Even though I don’t have her custody, can I still have the right to provide for her?
“She’s almost four, but I have done nothing for her. Just take it as if I’m paying for my sins, okay? Anyway, I did think about your job now. If it’s not you, it would be someone else eventually. I believe you will do a good job.
“If you, as a woman, can do things like carrying heavy cargo; I believe you can do this, too. Backing out without even trying doesn’t seem to be like your personality. I remember back then, you knew it would not end well if you married me, but you still did it anyway. This should be much easier than marrying Chu Lui.”
Pa! Xia Ruoxin slammed the phone down. The past, the past. The thing she did not want to think about the most… was the past and her marriage with Chu Lui. It was the worst and most shameful failure she had her whole life. However, she did receive something good from it. After all, she gained a cute daughter from that terrible marriage.
Picking up the documents from the table, she started to feel indignant.
No matter what, she wanted to try.
She flipped it page by page, and time had passed seconds by seconds… then minutes by minutes. She then started to understand her job a bit better; it indeed was something related to charity. The workshop that she was working in previously also had some charitable lessons related to this so she did come across something like that before and was not considered unfamiliar to it.
Now, it was just the preparatory stage so professionals would take charge of it. Actually, her job was a dummy’s job as she just had to supervise the work progress and report to her superior.
Her superior was no one else but Chu Lui.
Just that, nothing had started now so she was just a useless person for now.
Ever since she started working, everyone in the Chu Enterprise felt as though their atmosphere had relaxed by quite a bit as their boss always seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. Also, he seemed to have been smiling just now. That man knew how to do everything… but smile. His straight face was better than his smile as his smiles were always cold.
However, this time was an exception… because he really did smile, to the point where he looked gentler.
