“Could…
could you please make an exception?
I just promised her already.
It would be really embarrassing for me if it’s not possible.” Chen Pingping continued.
“How am I supposed to make an exception?” Li Qianfan said with a headache.
“I don’t care, I’m taking her with me.
If she doesn’t go, then I won’t go either.” Chen Pingping stated.
Li Qianfan was quite annoyed, Chen Pingping’s capriciousness was unpleasant for him.
But this company team-building event was organized for her, if she doesn’t show up, then there’s no point in holding the event!
Li Qianfan took a deep breath, suppressing his dissatisfaction and said, “Alright, then you bring her along, but only her, don’t promise anyone else.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Chen Pingping said as she ran towards the HR collective office.
“I talked to Director Li and he agreed to let you go,” Chen Pingping whispered to Wu Xiaoling.
“Really?
That’s great, thank you!” Wu Xiaoling said joyfully.
Chen Pingping pulled out a mirror and looked into it, asking, “Should I change clothes or wear makeup for this kind of event?
I woke up late this morning and didn’t bring any makeup to the office.”
Wu Xiaoling’s eyes darted around and said, “No worries, I didn’t bring any makeup either.”
“Then I’m relieved,” Chen Pingping breathed out and said with a smile.
Suddenly, it was almost time to leave work, and Chen Pingping suddenly looked up to find that Wu Xiaoling had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Pingping then asked around, and a female colleague said, “Sister Wu went home, she said she needed to get something.”
“Oh.” Chen Pingping nodded.
Finally, it was time to get off work, employees from various departments of Galaxy Pharmaceutical Company streamed out from their offices or collective offices, going downstairs to head home, and cars drove out of the underground garage one after another, soon leaving the company building empty.
Most people had left, with only those responsible for the night shift and a few who hadn’t managed to leave the company remaining.
Several luxury cars were parked outside the company’s main gate, led by Li Qianfan’s Rolls-Royce worth over three million, followed by Li Lang’s luxury car.
Li Lang’s luxury car was a Bentley valued at over two million.
The department managers ready for the team-building event had already gathered downstairs, including Zhou Yue.
Seeing Zhou Yue arrive, the managers enthusiastically greeted her.
They all were aware of the relationship between Zhou Yue and Li Qianfan, so they tactfully refrained from saying much.
When Li Qianfan came downstairs, they all stood in order, with Li Lang stepping forward to greet him.
“Are all here?” Li Qianfan asked.
“I think everyone’s here,” Li Lang said, not quite sure.
Wang Yali ran over and said, “We’re missing one person, Chen Pingping hasn’t arrived yet.”
Hearing Wang Yali’s words, the department managers showed puzzled expressions.
“Who is Chen Pingping?” the finance department manager asked.
“Do we have someone by that name in our company?” the security department manager asked.
“Yes, one of my subordinates, she just joined a few days ago,” the HR manager answered.
The logistics department manager immediately lowered his voice and asked, “Is Chen Pingping just an ordinary employee?
Then why is she also participating in the team-building?
What is her background?”
“I don’t know, all I know is that her employment was personally facilitated by Vice President Li,” the HR manager whispered back.
“It seems that this Chen Pingping is either Vice President Li’s person or Director Li’s person.”
“I think so too.”
The department managers whispered among themselves, and Li Qianfan heard it all, but he didn’t care at all.
“There’s another person named Wu Xiaoling, who is Chen Pingping’s colleague and also from the HR department,” Li Qianfan told Wang Yali.
Wang Yali frowned and said, “Director Li, how can you just add someone at the last minute?”
“I had no choice, Chen Pingping said she would bring her along,” Li Qianfan said with a wry smile.
Wang Yali angrily said, “You’re a Vice President, how can you let a junior staff member get the better of you!”
Li Lang started to cough strenuously, and Wang Yali then restrained herself a lot and suppressed her resentment, saying, “Then I’ll notify the restaurant right now to add another set of utensils.”
Li Qianfan, Li Lang, Wang Yali, and those department managers waited at the company’s main entrance for quite a while before Chen Pingping and Wu Xiaoling finally showed up.
Both Chen Pingping and Wu Xiaoling were seen running hand in hand towards them.
“Is that woman Chen Pingping?”
“Why is she dressed like she’s going to a banquet?”
“That’s way too exaggerated.”
All the department managers started discussing, and then the HR manager suddenly said, “No, the one on the side is Chen Pingping, the one in the dress is our HR’s Wu Xiaoling.”
Thus, all the department managers on site were utterly shocked.
Chen Pingping, dressed in a black suit skirt, looked good, but since it’s the basic attire for women in the company, her outfit seemed very ordinary and nothing special.
However, Wu Xiaoling, standing next to Chen Pingping, with big wavy hair matched with a fiery red evening gown, looked absolutely stunning!
Chen Pingping, following beside Wu Xiaoling, looked like a mere follower, very unremarkable!
“Didn’t you say you didn’t bring any makeup?” Chen Pingping said while running.
“I went back home to get something, just did my makeup and changed my outfit while I was there,” Wu Xiaoling said.
Then Wu Xiaoling added, “After all, dining with so many leaders, I had to prepare well.”
“That’s not what you said back at the office!” Chen Pingping said somewhat annoyed.
Chen Pingping always felt she had been deceived and let down, but at this critical moment, she couldn’t afford to care too much about it.
After all, Li Qianfan and all those department managers were waiting there, there really wasn’t time for her to dilly-dally.
“You guys are too slow.” Li Qianfan said.
Before Chen Pingping could say anything, Wu Xiaoling already approached Li Qianfan with a big smile and said, “I’m really sorry, Director Li, we were slightly held up…”
“Isn’t your outfit a bit too much?” Li Qianfan glanced at Wu Xiaoling’s heavy makeup and fiery evening gown, frowning slightly.
“Just the thought of dining with Director Li and so many leaders got me really excited, so I…
just prepared meticulously,” Wu Xiaoling said with an embarrassed expression, her cheeks flushing red.
All the department managers present laughed, and Li Lang then said, “Director Li, everyone’s here now, shall we head off?”
“Okay, let’s go!”
Li Qianfan said as he opened the car door, turning to Chen Pingping and saying, “Squad leader, you ride in my car.”
As Chen Pingping walked over, Wu Xiaoling immediately said, “Director Li, may I ride in your car too?
Your car looks so impressive; I’ve never been in such a nice car before!”
