My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 163 Who did the background check?

Zhou Qizhen has not stopped for a moment since he entered the office. He was busy checking the piles of unread emails on his computer and replying to them concisely.

He then went to the conference room for a two-hour meeting. When he came back, the phone kept ringing and there were endless people looking for him.

During this period, Lu Xiaoqiao just sat quietly on the sofa, eating nuts brought from home and watching the movie that Secretary Ding downloaded for her.

Several executives who came to Zhou Qizhen to report the project plan were afraid of their boss, but driven by curiosity, they couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting on the sofa while he lowered his eyes to review the plan.

I really envy her! While Mr. Zhou is busy at work, she dares to leisurely eat and watch a movie, unlike them, who can only be scolded.

But in fact, Lu Xiaoqiao was not as carefree as they thought.

Ever since she and Zhou Qizhen met, she had already gotten used to hearing outsiders describe him as a cold and serious person, how meticulous he was in his work, and how his employees were afraid of him.

But that was only what I heard. However, when I saw it all with my own eyes today, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

For example, when Zhou Qi was scolding the executive wearing glasses just now, she didn't dare to chew the walnut kernel in her mouth, for fear that the sound would attract unnecessary attention.

Finally, Lu Xiaoqiao sent him a WeChat message on his mobile phone.

Although Zhou Qizhen was busy, he kept an eye on Lu Xiaoqiao's every move.

Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao pick up the phone and operate it for a few times, his phone immediately received a message alert tone. He hurriedly interrupted the department manager who was still making a report and quickly picked up the phone to check.

Wife: [I want to go out for a walk. If I don’t want to go out, can I stay in your company?]

Z: [Are you feeling bored? Then I'll find someone to keep you company.]

Wife: [No, I told my aunt yesterday that after I resign, I'll hand over all the unfinished orders to Lin Lin. Your company's order hasn't been completed yet, so I'm going over to take a look. I told Lin Lin to come over later.]

Z: [Okay, call me if you have anything.]

Wife: [Yeah.]

Lu Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief after she left the office. Although she was not the one being scolded, it was still scary to hear about it.

I called Lin Lin and found out that she didn't have anything important to do, so I asked her to come over.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Zhou Qizhen's private elevator to the first floor to pick up Lin Lin.

"Why did you come here to pick me up? My uncle's office is not fun."

Lu Xiaoqiao sighed softly, "You never know until you see it. It's really shocking. If I stay in his office for one more second, it will affect my prenatal education."

Lin Lin held her arm and couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of? He's not mean to you. To us, you are like a god, able to take down my uncle."

Lu Xiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "It's almost like he captured me. Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Did you get the form I asked you to get?"

"Okay, let's go straight up now?"

"Well, it's probably lunchtime when we're done. You can eat here at noon! We'll go there together in the afternoon."

The two arrived at the logistics department, and as soon as Lu Xiaoqiao entered, an employee recognized her.

A woman in a work suit hurried over and asked, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

Although Lu Xiaoqiao was not used to this title, she knew that since she had chosen to marry Zhou Qizhen, she had to work hard to accept and get used to it.

"No big deal, I just came over to check in with my colleagues on an order that hasn't been completed yet. Is Team Leader Jiang here?"

"Yes, I'll go call her for you."

Lu Xiaoqiao stopped her: "No, just go ahead and do your thing. I know where her workstation is."

Lu Xiaoqiao took Lin Lin towards Team Leader Jiang's workstation. Before they got close, they saw her loudly scolding a girl who was standing in front of her with her head down.

"You can't even do this right, and you still want to stay in the company? Take it back and do it again!"

The girl's youthful appearance clearly indicated that she was a recent graduate intern. She cried, "Team Leader Jiang, I'm sorry, I've never done this before. If you tell me this time, I'll definitely remember it. I'll know better next time!"

Team Leader Jiang, with his face still stern, said mercilessly, "Next time? You couldn't do it right this time, how can you expect next time? Go back and slowly correct it. I'll tell you when I get it right. If you don't, you don't have to leave work today!"

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Team Leader Jiang from behind and saw that he was obviously making things difficult for them, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

So the reason she sent me an apology on WeChat a few days ago was because she was afraid of her sudden change in identity!

He said there was a misunderstanding and that something happened at home and he was in a bad mood, which led to his work attitude.

So what about now? Something that could be explained and resolved in one sentence, yet he relied on his experience to deliberately make things difficult for the newcomer.

"Team Leader Jiang."

When Team Leader Jiang heard someone calling her, she thought it was a colleague, but when she turned around and saw Lu Xiaoqiao standing behind her, she quickly stood up.

The face that was just sarcastic and mean was instantly filled with a smile: "Madam, how did you find time to come here! What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."

Lu Xiaoqiao simply said, "No need. I came here today to hand over the unfinished work to my colleagues. Since Jiang Heng's orders are so numerous, it would be better to have her come over and check with you guys."

Team Leader Jiang said flatteringly, "You could just let me know via WeChat. Why bother coming here in person?"

Lu Xiaoqiao ignored her flattery and said meaningfully, "I came here because I hope the problem can be solved quickly. I don't want to complicate things if they can be simplified quickly."

Team leader Jiang smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

In front of Lin Lin and Team Leader Jiang, Lu Xiaoqiao explained the detailed requirements and progress of the order, which could be considered a handover.

After Lin Lin wrote down all the information, before leaving, Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly asked Team Leader Jiang.

"Did Team Leader Jiang join Jiang Heng right after graduation, or did he switch jobs from another company?"

Faced with Lu Xiaoqiao's sudden question, although Team Leader Jiang didn't know what she meant, he still answered truthfully: "I jumped here."

Lu Xiaoqiao said "Oh" softly, and then asked, "When you first came to the company, who did the background check on you?"

Team Leader Jiang was taken aback, his eyes evasive: "I, I forgot too."

Lu Xiaoqiao said nothing more and left with Lin Lin.

After leaving the logistics department, Lin Lin asked Lu Xiaoqiao curiously, "What did you mean just now? Why did you ask her that?"

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at her and snorted, "Team Leader Jiang seems to really enjoy making things difficult for others. I used to think that was just her personality, but now I see that she dislikes everyone with a lower rank than her. Look at how she was bullied by that intern just now."
