Prohibition of losing contact

Pei You: "..."

Zhou Cangshan: "..."

Zhou Qingbai also knew that his excuse was outrageous, but in a hurry, he couldn't think of a better one.

But Zhou Cangshan was obviously not a fool, he frowned suspiciously, and asked: "But Mr. Pei graduated from Peking University Guanghua, where are you going to go with his classmates?"

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

Damn, I made a mistake, Zhou Qingbai thought, this is still a college bully.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhou Qingbai can only rack his brains to try to make amends, he turned his head and glanced at Pei You, but unfortunately Pei You has been a child who can't lie since he was a child, although he received his help-seeking eyes, there was nothing he could do to help.

"Me, us..." Zhou Qingbai brainstormed for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "We are classmates in the extra-curricular summer camp of junior high school, and we are in the knitting class."

Zhou Cangshan: "..."

What the hell?Zhou Cangshan thought, Pei You looks like a good student, would he still go to this kind of summer camp?

Pei You also came to his senses at this time, thinking that Zhou Qingbai probably didn't come out to his family members, so he bit the bullet and nodded, cooperating: "Yes, yes, yes."

Zhou Cangshan looked around the two of them in bewilderment, thinking that they were quite nostalgic, and that the extracurricular class in junior high school could still hold a class reunion.

But in any case, it is obviously a good thing that Pei You and Zhou Qingbai have friendship, so Zhou Cangshan didn't say much, but omitted the mutual introduction link when entering the door.

"That's just right." Zhou Cangshan said: "Qingbai, the audit team will officially settle in tomorrow. Today, you take Mr. Pei around the company first. If you need any information, just ask for it."

After Zhou Cangshan finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Pei You: "My younger brother is not sensible. I would be very grateful if Mr. Pei could take him along while working."

"You're welcome." Pei You said, "Establishing a good cooperative relationship is the foundation of efficient work, and it's a good thing to have Xiao Zhou to help."

Zhou Cangshan obviously admired such a young and promising young talent like Pei You, he nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and gave Zhou Qingbai a few more instructions before leaving to busy with his own work.

When he went out, Zhou Qingbai's shoulders and back feet slumped, and he leaned back on the desk unsteadily, heaving a sigh of relief in fear.

"I'm sorry." Pei You knew that he was reckless, and apologized, "I shouldn't have disclosed our relationship without your permission."

Zhou Qingbai was quite frightened, he was indeed a little resentful at first, but Pei You apologized too quickly, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

His temper came and went quickly, he waved his hand when he heard the words, and said casually: "Acquaintance? When did we date?"

Pei You: "..."

Pei You realized later that his words were a bit ambiguous, and he coughed in embarrassment: "I mean——"

"I know." The relationship between the two of them was far from enough to make such a joke. After Zhou Qingbai finished speaking, he regretted a little, and hurriedly brought the remark to the past: "I have to thank you for covering it up for me just now."

"You're welcome." Pei You said, "It should."

After this dry topic ended, a subtle silence began to fill the air again. Zhou Qingbai felt that the word embarrassment had become concrete, and he wished to fill his entire office.

There is no way around this, it may take a while for anyone to re-meet a failed blind date in the workplace.

What's more, it was someone he declined before.

Calm down, Zhou Qingbai encouraged himself in his heart, he is not your blind date now, but your partner.

He brainwashed himself crazily while scratching the ground with his toes, but he couldn't hold on after a while, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Pei You in this suffocating awkward silence.

But he couldn't die, Pei You was also looking at him when he raised his head, and the two eyes collided in mid-air, the two of them turned their faces away at the same time as if they were burned by each other's eyes.

This kind of evasion is so pretentious that it seems a little funny.Three seconds later, Zhou Qingbai finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, breaking the deadlock.

"Don't be so embarrassing." Pei You spoke first, and said in a gentle voice: "Public is public, private is private. If you can't accept it, just pretend that the previous thing never happened. Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you."

Pei You thought for a while, and added in a considerate manner: "Actually, you're not the first person to reject me, I'm used to it."

"Have you been rejected many times?" Zhou Qingbai asked.

"32 times." Pei You shook his head helplessly: "Counting you is 33."

When Pei You said this, he didn't know whether it was helplessness or self-deprecation, the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if he was smiling.

Perhaps because he left the blind date environment and entered the comfort zone of "work", Pei You seemed a little more relaxed than that day at the resort. Zhou Qingbai looked at him and suddenly felt that he looked pretty when he smiled.

And today he didn't dress as rigidly as he did on the day of the blind date, with a few strands of hair falling down on his forehead, and when he smiled, he looked much gentler than before.

"Actually, you should smile more." Zhou Qingbai said suddenly.

"What?" Pei You didn't respond.

"It's nothing." Zhou Qingbai straightened up and changed the subject: "Are you going to start working? I'll take you to the finance department."

Zhou Cangshan has already arranged an office for the audit team in advance. It is next to the finance department. It is a large conference room. In addition to basic office supplies, it is also equipped with an office projector.

"The finance department is next door to this office." Zhou Qingshan stood at the door, raised his chin towards the other side of the corridor, and said, "That red solid wooden door in front is it."

"My brother's office is on the 23rd floor, and mine is on the [-]th floor." Zhou Qingbai didn't know much about auditing work either. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and offered to propose: "Then... if there is nothing else, why not Shall I ask the treasurer to come over?"

"Don't worry yet." Pei You said, "Can you take me to the business department to have a look?"

"Why do you go to the business department?" Zhou Qingbai wondered.

"All kinds of departments need to understand, in addition to the business department, there is also the human resources department and the project department." Pei You explained patiently: "I have read your primary materials before coming here, Qingshan is mainly doing online e-commerce now. business services and high-tech fields, so if you have time, you need to visit the sales department.”

As he spoke, Pei You pushed the clasp of the briefcase with one hand, took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Zhou Qingbai.

"This is a list of preliminary materials." Pei You said, "It needs to be submitted by various departments."

There were dozens of dense strips on that piece of paper, Zhou Qingbai looked at it, as if he saw a whole page of heavenly scriptures.

"Do you want all of these?" Zhou Qingbai said.

"Yes." Pei You said: "Actually, I have passed this list to Mr. Zhou before, and these materials should have been prepared."

As he spoke, Pei You changed the briefcase to another hand, walked to the elevator one step ahead of Zhou Qingbai, reached out and pressed the elevator.

Zhou Qingbai is the second boss in name, but in fact he only manages his own one-third of an acre of land all year round, and manages fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, let alone the business of other departments.

Zhou Cangshan asked him to take Pei You to familiarize himself with the situation, but in the end, he simply became a department tour guide and followed Pei You the whole time, listening to him negotiating with the managers of various departments and asking for materials.

Zhou Qingbai's understanding of financial knowledge is limited to whether stocks and funds are green or red, and it's okay to listen to common topics with Pei You, but he's a little confused after listening too much.

After a few hours, Zhou Qingbai only felt that he had become a keyword catcher. Apart from being able to understand a few words, he was dormant for the rest of the time.

"Mr. Zhou...Zhou Qingbai!"

Zhou Qingbai was wandering in the sky, when he was called back suddenly, his whole body trembled, only to find that the Minister of Finance who was chatting with Pei You had already left for some reason, and Pei You himself was standing at the door with a briefcase Call him.

Zhou Qingbai wiped his face, stood up from the corner, ran over, and followed Pei You out of the office.

"Are you done talking?" he asked.

"It's over." Pei You said, "If you're too tired, you might as well go back and rest."

The two of them spent a whole day in the company together, the unspeakable embarrassment dissipated a lot, and each other relaxed a lot, unlike before, when they said a sentence, they had to type it out three times in their hearts.

"That's not necessary." Zhou Qingbai tilted his head, moved his stiff shoulders, and said casually: "I just don't understand, I just feel bored."

Pei You was puzzled for a moment.

Today is the preparatory stage of the work. At most, he has a preliminary understanding of the company's internal situation. There is no time to discuss specific professional issues. Zhou Qingbai, as the company's internal director, should not even understand this. .

It's just that before he had time to ask, Zhou Qingbai had raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "It's almost time to get off work, is there any department you want to go to?"

"No more." Pei You said.

Qingshan's internal management has been reformed through professional consulting, and there are no major problems.In addition, Zhou Cangshan has long had the idea of ​​listing, so the preparatory work has been done very well, and the connection between the various processes is also very smooth.

Pei You's team is only responsible for the pre-listing audit work, and other consulting projects and equity planning are not under their management.

"Then go get a cup of coffee?" Zhou Qingbai said, "The coffee shop downstairs also happens to have chestnut cakes."

The working relationship is much purer than the blind date relationship. Zhou Qingbai followed Pei You all day, and found that he was not the same as his first impression.He looks serious and serious, but he is not arrogant when working. Zhou Qingbai occasionally asks him some low-level common sense questions, and he answers them patiently.

The old-fashioned and strange image in the impression was gradually erased by another gentle color. Zhou Qingbai felt guilty when he remembered that he had complained to Ge Xing about the person in front of him, and couldn't help but want to make up for it and release a little more A signal of goodwill.

Pei You first habitually wanted to refuse, but couldn't help laughing when he heard the second half of the sentence.He seemed a little moved, but hesitated for a moment, still pursed his lips and shook his head, hesitantly said: "It's working time now."

"It's okay." Zhou Qingbai himself didn't want to go to work, and he wanted to lead bad students, so he couldn't help but pull Pei You downstairs, and said plausibly: "Working hours are for fishing."

The coffee shop downstairs is located in the office building, and the main traffic is senior white-collar workers from the surrounding buildings.Zhou Qingbai is obviously a leader in the troop of fishing fish at work, so that the owner of the coffee shop knows what he wants to order when he sees him.

"Is it still Mocha today?" the boss asked.

"A cup of mocha, a chestnut cake, and a three-color cookie." Zhou Qingbai turned around and asked, "What do you drink?"

"American style, thank you." Pei You said.

It is now 04:30 in the afternoon, the time is not up or down, and there are no other customers in the cafe except the two of them. Pei You put the briefcase inside the seat and sat by the window with Zhou Qingbai.

Handmade coffee takes a little time, Zhou Qingbai flicked through the menu on the table boredly, Pei You in Yu Guangli stopped talking twice, he looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qingbai asked: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Actually, I want to ask a question." Pei You asked seriously, "Why don't you want to get in touch with me?"

Pei You actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but unfortunately, his previous blind dates either had a meal and then died of old age, or they met again to avoid suspicion.Although Pei You is not good at pleasing people, this kind of emotional feedback is still understandable, so he doesn't want to go up to make fun of himself.

But Zhou Qingbai is a big-hearted person, after getting along with him, Pei You felt that maybe he could find an answer from him.

He looked really confused, not like a hint of beating around the bush. Zhou Qingbai thought about it and gave a safer answer.

"Actually, there is no reason." Zhou Qingbai said: "You are a nice person, but—"

"It's that sentence again." Pei You shook his head, looking very helpless: "Those people said the same thing before, saying that I'm a good person, but it's just not appropriate."

Pei You acted too much like an elite before, and now it is rare to show a frustrated expression, but Zhou Qingbai felt that he was much more lively and interesting than before.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with you. This matter is due to the middleman." Zhou Qingbo paused and explained: "I am a bachelor."

This reason is obviously much stronger than that he didn't perform well, Pei You breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

"It's a pity." Pei You said honestly, "I thought we should get along very well."

Zhou Qingbai chuckled and couldn't help waving his hands.

"Getting to know each other is a long process." Zhou Qingbai said: "Everyone can pretend to be a dog within two hours. If you want to know whether you and a person are compatible, one meal time is far from enough."

Zhou Qingbai was not surprised at all that he would get Pei You's first favor - he was fooled by Ge Xing during the blind date, and he pretended to be a special social elite, which seemed to match Pei You's style quite well.

But he knew in his heart that he was not a young talent at all, at most he was a gossip salted fish. The reason why Pei You had a good first impression of him was purely deceived by that short-term illusion.

He is quite self-aware of himself, so he doesn't want to delay Pei You and let him fall into the filter of hypocrisy; at the same time, he doesn't want to wrong himself and let himself pretend to be a master in a high-pressure state.

"For example, me." Zhou Qingbai said with a smile: "If you understand my personality, maybe you won't feel sorry."

"Really?" Pei You didn't quite believe his words: "So what kind of character are you?"

This question is a bit beyond the scope of the current relationship, Zhou Qingbai raised his eyebrows, drank the last sip of coffee, and gave him an ambiguous answer.

"That can't be said, I have to save face."

Zhou Qingbai raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and stood up from the chair.

"Okay, it's time, it's time for me to get off work." Zhou Qingbai said and smiled at Pei You: "I wish us a happy work tomorrow."
