Chapter 029: Domineering President
Qi Yu took the resumes, flipped through them and then handed them back. “You will forward all the twelve people’s emails to me in a while, and I will choose among them myself.”
Cheng Lijun was taken aback. Although Qi Yu’s words seemed to question her ability, after running into a wall the first couple of times, she was finally a little wiser. She said “okay” and didn’t ask further.
Mei Wei’s Haicheng branch headquarters was located in a relatively tall office building on the border of the financial district. The office was set up mainly to be the center for domestic operations management, sales and technical affairs. They occupied three entire floors of the building.
8:40 in the morning.
A young woman in professional attire, carrying her breakfast, walked out of the elevator hall and to the door of the company. Her eyes still heavy with sleep, she put her index finger on the biometric reader to clock in and entered through the door.
She was followed in by an older woman also coming to work. Seeing her listless appearance, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “Xiao Guo, didn’t get enough sleep last night?”
Xiao Guo was Mei Wei’s front desk receptionist, Guo Qiao. She sighed and said, “Sigh, I stayed up until two in the morning reading a novel. I just couldn’t put it down…”
“What novel did you read?” Standing behind her, Li Xiao Qin of the Finance Department’s Accounting Group, asked.
“Hehe,” Guo Qiao was a little embarrassed, “It’s a domineering president webnovel…”
Li Xiao Qin laughed out a “pft” and teased her, “Is the president tall, handsome, and young? The kind that no one can look down on and falls in love with the heroine alone? He’s so in love with her but he still refuses to admit it! The heroine misunderstands, thinking him cold, callous and heartless. But secretly, he goes to great lengths to get the heroine by any means necessary, absolutely insistent that the heroine stay by his side?”
Guo Qiao listened to the other’s incisive summary and nodded excitedly, “Yes, that’s right! How do know so much, Xiao Qin Jie!?”
“This sister of yours, is an experienced master.” Li Xiao Qin winked at her and then said seriously, “But I advise you not to get too addicted. These kinds of novels will only deceive girls like yourself who have yet to experience the realities of life. After all, there’s no such domineering president in real life.” She looked left and right to make sure that no one else was around. She then leaned in and whispered to Guo Qiao, “There are only old men like Chief Qin who are already balding in their early forties!”
Guo Qiao covered her mouth and snickered. Remembering something, she then whispered, “But I heard that the son of one of Mei Wei’s major shareholders recently arrived to do an inspection. I don’t know whether he’s handsome or not…”
In order to welcome the other, Chief Qin had even specially vacated his secretary’s office. Last week, she helped her tidy up. It showed how much importance the general manager attached to this person.
Li Xiao Qin gave a light tap to Guo Qiao’s forehead with her knuckles, and said with a smile, “What are you dreaming about? Think of Chief Qiu's son. He’s probably the same!”
The corners of Guo Qiao’s mouth twitched, and a row of black lines hung down her forehead. “Well…”
After Li Xiao Qin left, Guo Qiao watered the potted plants by the door, then sat back behind the front desk. While nibbling on her meat bun, she took out her mobile phone and secretly opened the webnovel app.
By the time she stopped in the wee hours of the morning, the male protagonist had learned that the female protagonist has a crush on him. He coldly offered to provide for her. He also said that depending on the heroine’s performance she would be given a kiss from time to time as a reward…Guo Qiao was sent twisting in bed in excitement… …
She didn’t know if the heroine had agreed…
Just as she was turning to the latest chapter, Guo Qiao heard a familiar voice from the door, “President Qi, your office is on this floor…”
Guo Qiao raised her head and saw Assistant Manager Cheng of the Public Relations Department walk in first, and then followed by…
……! ! ! ! !
The meat bun slipped out of her hand.
Cheng Lijun walked over with a smile, and said to Guo Qiao, “Xiao Guo, this is President Qi. He’s new here and will start working here from today. He will be staying with us for two months. Please get to know him,” Saying so, she then turned to Qi Yu and gave him an introduction. “President Qi, this is Guo Qiao, our front desk receptionist. Later, kindly ask her to take your fingerprint for the biometric scanner. This way it will be convenient for you to get in and out in the future.”

“President Qi, I will take you to see Chief Qin first.” The two of them conversed and walked away.
Guo Qiao, who was frightened and silly, raised both her hands to cover her rapidly burning face. Her heart then began to beat wildly — one hundred and three, one hundred and five, straight to one hundred and eight in just five seconds!
Aaaaaaahhhhhh–! ! !
So hot! ! !
***
Qi Yu met with Chief Qin, and the two of them exchanged greetings for a few minutes before he headed to his office.
The room was next to the General Manager’s Office, and you could see the famous landmark buildings in the financial district through the window. The view was excellent.
Cheng Lijun’s office was downstairs, so she left after taking him to familiarizing himself with his surroundings.
Qi Yu then went out to find Guo Qiao and have his fingerprint recorded. By the way, he asked the young woman, “Where is the company’s bathroom?”
Guo Qiao’s face flushed. “Go-go out and turn right…”
Qi Yu looked around and asked, “Where is the pantry?”
Guo Qiao’s eyes darted this way and that, not daring to look directly at him. “Behind the Finance room, there’s coffee and tea bags there…Would President Qi like to have some coffee? I can help you get a cup…”
“No, thank you.” Qi Yu said coldly.
As a result, when he finished speaking, the girl gave a barely audible “beep” and trembling, turned her back to him.
Qi Yu frowned. He’d been expecting, given his young age and the fact that he was a newcomer, that no one would take him seriously. And so he had already done a mental construction for himself. At this time, he made sure that his words, actions and bearing were all proper. He tried to make himself appear like the “president” who came to conduct serious business.
He had thought the front desk receptionist would be in awe of him but why was it that the way this girl behaved…she seemed more like a love-struck fool instead?
Back in his office, Qi Yu saw that Cheng Lijun had forwarded all the applicants’ emails to him. He read through them carefully.
The five that Cheng Lijun excluded did indeed not meet the requirements he had set at the time. However, Qi Yu discovered that there was one named Wu Shuang, aged 23 this year who, although he only had a bachelor’s degree, graduated from T University.
Qi Yu vaguely remembered that Fu Yansheng also came from T University.
His heart moved and he placed this person on the interview list. He then removed three from the other seven resumes, and then transferred them back to Cheng Lijun, asking her to inform these people to come in for an interview as soon as possible.
A meeting was held at ten o’clock. Several heads of the branch office gathered together. Qiu Mingyang also came.
Qi Yu recognized him. Although he hadn’t seen him for several years, he still recognized him at a glance and he called him “Uncle Qiu” when they met.
The man was in his fifties. His face was on the chubby side with eyes that were filled with vigor.
“Is this… Qi Yu?” Qiu Mingyang looked surprised when he appeared in the conference room. He said delightedly, “Why are you here? You’ve returned to China?”
Because Qi Yu suspected there was a problem with the production department that Qiu Mingyang was in charge of, his father asked him to come back to investigate the matter. Qi Yuancheng never mentioned it to Qiu Mingyang.
Qi Yu greeted him. He then smiled and explained, “I just finished my sophomore year. Dad asked me to come back for and get some hands-on experience this summer.”
“Not bad, not bad.” Qiu Mingyang patted him on the shoulder, and said, sighing with emotion, “You’ve grown so big so fast. And you’ve become quite the looker… How is your father’s health?”
Qi Yu said politely, “He’s very good. Please don’t worry about it.”
When other people heard Qiu Mingyang’s conversation with Qi Yu, they cast sidelong glances, expressing curiosity. This was until Chief Qin officially introduced him before the gathered people and everyone learned of his identity.
Qin Hanyao also told everyone that Qi Yu would be learning about the operation status of each department at their branch for the next couple of months. He hoped that everyone would cooperate.
He worded it tactfully, but the supervisors weren’t fools. What everyone heard was that the board of directors had sent someone to conduct an investigation. But facing the twenty year old Qi Yu, they didn’t seem afraid, merely going through the motions and expressing their welcome.
The heads of the various departments then reported to Qin Hanyao on the important matters for the month. Qi Yu sat at the table and listened carefully, occasionally making some notes.
Maybe because Qiu Mingyang was also a minority shareholder of Mei Wei, Qi Yu noticed that Qin Hanyao respected him very much.
The meeting lasted for two hours. At the end of the meeting, Qiu Mingyang came over to pat Qi Yu’s shoulder again, and cordially said, “Qi Yu, I’m leaving now. If there’s anything you want to learn about, come and find uncle.”
Mei Wei’s production center office wasn’t here. Instead, it was set up in the suburbs south of Haicheng, connected to the PMC department and branch warehouses. Qiu Mingyang, as the manager of the production center, only came to the branch headquarters for meetings at the beginning of each month.
“That’s right,” he thought of something and said, “My son is also working in Mei Wei. You’re both about the same age. When you have time, I will introduce you to him.”
Qi Yu answered “Okay”. In his heart, he was remarking at this coincidence. He also really wanted to meet this college classmate of Zhang Cheng Xuan’s third brother…
After leaving the conference room, Qi Yu ordered Cheng Lijun to print out all the company’s account books and major decision-making documents for the current year and send them to his office.
Cheng Lijun was taken aback, “You want all of the current year’s?”
“Yes,” Qi Yu looked at her and added, “I’ll be looking at the current year first.”
“O-okay,” Cheng Lijun shook her head and asked, “Chief Qi, what do you want for lunch?”
Qi Yu asked her, “What do you usually eat?”
Cheng Lijun: “The employees have pre-booked set meals. Those who haven’t ordered meals usually eat takeaway. But you might not be used to these. There are restaurants downstairs where you can eat business set meals. Though they do get crowded during peak hours… I originally thought you wouldn’t have such a tight schedule on your first day. I can call a car for you to go to a nearby restaurant to eat.”
Qi Yu said, “There’s no need to give me special treatment. You can just grab me a business set meal from downstairs.”
Cheng Lijun asked, “Anything to avoid?”
Qi Yu: “None. I’ll leave the selection to you.”
Half an hour later, Cheng Lijun bought him Chestnut Beef Rice as well as a cup of coffee.
It was Qi Yu’s first day of work and though he carefully controlled his expressions, he was, in fact, a little excited. Looking at the box lunch, he remembered that he had never posted anything in his Moments. He couldn’t help taking a photo and posting it.
He captioned it with: “Working meal~”
After sending it out, Qi Yu pulled apart his chopsticks and started eating.
But in less than five minutes, he put down his chopsticks with a gloomy expression on his face, thinking that there probably were still foods that he avoided.
He was wondering whether he should go out and eat something, when his phone rang.
Qi Yu glanced at it and quickly accepted the call.
“Are you still adapting to work on your first day?” Fu Yansheng’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I’m getting by.” Qi Yu said as he closed the lunch box.
“You drank so much last night, don’t you have a headache today?” Fu Yansheng asked.
Qi Yu fiddled with the coffee cup on the table and said, “No, I’m in good spirits.”
Fu Yansheng: “Tsk, young people have such good resilience.”
Qi Yu snorted, “You talk like you’re old…”
Fu Yansheng: “I’m just praising you.”
Qi Yu leaned back against the chair and without him realizing it, at this moment, his face, which had been tense for the entire morning, relaxed, revealing a faint smile. He went on and said, “I had a meeting in the morning and I saw some of Mei Wei’s management. They all look like old foxes.”
Fu Yansheng: “Then, were you, this little fox, afraid?”
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows. “Who are you calling a little fox!?”
Fu Yansheng gave a “Oh” and solemnly corrected his mistake, “It’s not little ‘fox’, it’s little ‘fish’.”
Qi Yu: “……???”
He was about to refute when another call came in.
Qi Yu looked at the caller ID, and hurriedly said to Fu Yansheng, “Someone’s looking for me. I’m hanging up.”
It was Xu Jing who was calling. As soon as the call connected, Xu Jing asked, “You’re eating this for lunch? As I recall, you don’t like chestnuts.”
“I’m experiencing life,” Qi Yu explained and asked, “How did you know I don’t like chestnuts?”
Xu Jing laughed, “I took you once to the Metropolitan Opera House to watch “Othello”, when we came out, there was a Chinese hawker on the street selling sugar-fried chestnuts. I bought you a small bag, but you thought it tasted weird and ate only one. I ended up finishing off the rest of the bag.”
