Chapter 119 CEO Is In Canteen
In the CEO office on the 10th floor of Jade Picture, Jake Williams, the director of financial department, just dejectedly comes out of the office with a statement. As soon as he goes out, he sees Karina White, the assistant, standing at the door. He scolds, "why are you still standing here? I've already told you to account early every month, and sort out the accounts as soon as possible. Fuck off now."
The assistant doesn't know what to say after being scolded. Actually she is just an assistant, which means that her duty merely includes sorting out the information and notifying the news. She is extremely aggrieved at being scolded. She has just worked for about a year and is bashful. So she cries after that.
Jake also thinks that he was too hard on her. He waves his hand distractedly, "Forget it. I'll do it. Now go to the bathroom and wipe your tears before going back to work."
Karina stands sadly at the door of the CEO office, wiping her tears.
Lilian hands a tissue to her, reminding her, "your makeup is messed up."
Karina looks up at Lilian and stops crying, "Jake scolded me for no reason. So I just can't help to..."
Lilian takes a meaningful look at the door of the office, "you are not the only one in the company. All the people who have been to this office today are in bad luck."
In this morning, beside the finance department, the heads of several departments and stars' individual studios who came up to ask for funds were all scolded. None of them succeeded and left in disgrace. Some who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something were fired.
There are three interns who did odds and ends fired this morning.
"Why?" Karina sobs and looks at Lilian feeling puzzled.
"No one knows what the boss is thinking about."
Lilian puts a packet of tissues into Karina's hand, turns back to her desk and writing email, as if everything has nothing to do with her.
Inside the office, it is full of cold atmosphere.
The man in a black suit sits at his desk, frowning, with a cold look in his eyes.
He is not a patient man. He's used almost all of George's methods, but these methods still can't let her open up to him.
Even if he knows her well enough, including the accident about her family, her hard life in Melbourne in those three years, or her unclear relationship with the Yan in Hongkong, she still never takes the initiative to tell anything to him.
What kind of person is he in her eyes?
Last night, she even believes that he killed her friend.
In her eyes, even if he is patient with her, he is still a cruel man who could not be trusted.
The pen holder, paper and documents on the desk are swept to the ground, making a huge noise.
When Lilian comes in, she is not surprised to see the mess. She stops, holding the document in her hands, and says "I'll ask someone to clean it up now."
"What's in your hand?"
Luke's voice interrupts her.
"It's the application materials of star's individual studio."
In Jade Picture, there is originally a rule that as long as a star has gained two awards, he or she can apply for an individual studio. The whole studio works for only one star. The company is responsible for the operating expenses of the first three years, and then it is responsible for its own profits and losses after three years.
After Luke Up Group acquired Jade Picture, the original application for a studio has been put aside to wait for the new system to be formulated. However, some stars seem to be impatient. They are afraid that the new system would go against their application for the studio, so they have submitted the application materials repeatedly now.
Luke looks at the thick stack of fields in Lilian's hands and says, "bring them to me, I'll have a look."
Several times before, Luke asked her to send them back without checking them. Every time, Lilian simply takes these things to this office for finishing her work. Unexpectedly, he wants to check today, which surprises her.
Wearing high heels, she steps over the messy things on the ground carefully. This pile of documents on the empty desk seems conspicuous.
"Mr. Lu, take your time. I go out now. You can call me if you have any question."
"Mhm."
When Lilian goes to the door, she hears his voice behind her, "is there Jenny's application?"
"Ahem..."
The intention of his question is too obvious. Lilian can't help to coughs. She turns around and says, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu hasn't applied for it."
When hearing she says Mrs. Lu, Luke slightly frowns. He closes the document in his hand and looks up at Lilian, "don't call her Mrs. Lu in the company. By the way, ask Shawn to hand in the application materials of Jenny's studio."
Lilian is stunned. Thanks to the previous experience, she knows how to deal with the boss's mood swings.
"Got it, I will ask her now," as soon as she is about to leave, she suddenly realizes that it should be discussed with the star. Then she turns around and asks, "shall I notify Jenny? According to the rule, she needs to fill in a form."
"I know."
Lilian is stunned.
What does "I know" means? Shall I talk with Jenny or not?
She hesitates for a moment and finally chooses not to do it herself.
According to her knowledge towards her boss, it means that he would do it himself.
In the gym of Jade Picture, those girls who came to the gym yesterday do not show up today. The gym looks quiet. There are only Jenny and Cecelia here. And those fitness coaches are not here neither. Cecelia soon gets bored without those fitness coaches to flirt with. It's less than half past eleven, she pulls Jenny to the canteen to have lunch.
"I am bored. Have you finished? Let's go to dinner."
Jenny is pulled to the canteen by Cecelia, holding her cheek and looking at her diet meal. She rolls her eyes and says, "I will be limp if I eat this cabbage boiled in pure water.”
Today she finally makes up her mind and decides to work out harder. Cecelia is definitely in her way.
"You should have more. The result of the diet meal of the canteen is good. You will have diarrhea after having it, which can help you lose weight better than running 10000 meters on treadmill.” Cecelia is eating pork, but still persuades her to eat diet meal, which makes Jenny feel annoyed.
"Why don't we exchange." Jenny takes Cecelia's plate and says, "you can have my diet meal."
Cecelia's face changes and seemingly wants to bury her head in the plate, holding her own plate tightly, "in your dream! if Shawn knows that I let you eat it, she will kill me!"
"Why are you not afraid that I lie to Shawn that you force me to eat?"
Jenny bites her fork and glares at Cecelia, as if she is staring at a dog robing her meat and bones.
At this time, there is a sudden commotion in the canteen, and the noisy sound suddenly louder. Jenny hears that and suddenly feels nervous.
"Mr. Lu comes to the canteen..."
