C13 I'm the Assistant to the President
Du Jie firmly believed that Han Ruoqing's cooking skills were the standard for a Grade 1 Chef. Throughout the entire process, he didn't feel nervous, but rather looked as if he was admiring it, looking at Han Ruoqing's mesmerizing figure that was engrossed in food. Du Jie would even smile from time to time.
As the time approached, a finished dish was placed in front of the judges' table. At first, everyone commented on its appearance, but after tasting it and nodding their heads in praise, Han Ruoqing's heart was finally at ease.
"I announce the final result. Han Ruoqing has received the level one chef certificate." The principal took out a proper chef's certificate on the spot and those around him applauded.
Receiving the certificate, Han Ruoqing opened it and took a look. The cross-ranking exam had gone smoothly this time. She didn't know what Du Jie did, but he was helping her.
"Ms. Han, normally speaking, the special examination will be more strict. I hope that you can prepare well and go to a hotel to learn more about the ingredients and cooking techniques."
A judge gave his advice, and someone beside him joked, "What are you afraid of? Don't forget that Ms. Han has an expert by her side."
The words almost slipped out of his mouth as the principal coughed dryly and interrupted that person's speech.
Expert? Han Ruoqing was very sensitive to the word 'master'. She wanted to ask further, but Du Jie quickly walked over and reminded her, "Let's hurry up and leave. You still have to meet some customers in the afternoon, right?"
It wasn't early yet, so Han Ruoqing expressed her gratitude to everyone before bringing Du Jie out of the school without stopping.
"I'm not in a hurry to send you home, how about …"
"Why don't you bring me along? Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you in the distance while you negotiate."
Han Ruoqing's meaning was, why don't you take a taxi home? But Du Jie felt that their relationship wasn't that bad, and he was even being naughty a bit. He also wanted to take a look at Han Ruoqing's face when dealing with the company's affairs.
"First, I will say that you cannot get near me, and even more so, do not endure the gazes of others."
"Needless to say, I don't understand anything about the company at all. Don't worry."
Along the way, Han Ruoqing would occasionally think of the expert she spoke of. When she asked Du Jie, he only joked, "Isn't that master just me?"
After saying that, her loud laughter made Han Ruoqing lose her sense of formality, so she didn't continue to question him.
Du Jie stared at Han Ruoqing who was focused on driving, and deliberately leaned his head close to her shoulder. This action caused her to feel very uncomfortable. She twitched her arm a little and replied, "What are you doing?"
"I've just made some food, but I don't know if I left any traces on me. In a moment, I will be meeting important customers. I can't be rude."
Really, Du Jie's meticulous observation of detail, Han Ruoqing also cared a lot about this.
Du Jie picked up the perfume on the car. He understood these rules very well, so he didn't spray it directly at Han Ruoqing's body, but just let it fall naturally into the car. Du Jie explained, "Fortunately, the food you cooked just now was relatively light and the taste wasn't too heavy, so it should be fine."
"I find that you are becoming more and more scout." Han Ruoqing's evaluation didn't have the slightest hint of emotion, it sounded really uncomfortable.
"Then thank you for giving me such a rare chance to train. I'm waiting for the day when you and I have had enough. I'm going out to apply for a golden nanny or something. I heard that my monthly salary could be over ten thousand!" When he mocked himself, Du Jie would even foolishly raise his head and laugh. Han Ruoqing was attracted by his innocent appearance, saying that he was ignorant and pitiful. Why did she let him waste time by her side?
"Do you regret entering the Han Family? If your father was still alive back then, and you were from a rich and powerful family, I wonder what your life would have been like at that time? "
These words broke the atmosphere inside the car. Du Jie pursed his lips. He didn't answer him directly, but remembered the appearances of those people back at the Long family. He also tried to imitate them.
"Of course there's no such thing as a party. Afterwards, whoever you see as being displeasing to the eye will be ridiculing him. Who told you to eat here? Did you get my permission to do so? Oh my god! Being a young master is really unpleasant. Every day, they don't think about what they should do, but it's really professional to point fingers and tell others what to do, isn't it? "
After toppling a boat with a single pole, Han Ruoxi truly felt that they didn't have any common topics to discuss. She just hoped that they would get along in this way in the remaining time, and not interfere with each other.
Arriving at a certain hall, this place was extremely grand. It was no wonder that people with status could talk in luxurious ways, unlike him.
The two of them maintained a certain distance from each other. Once they entered the hall, the two attendants received the two of them separately. They were completely unable to contact each other because of the difference in attire and temperament.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The receptionist asked Du Jie, who was stunned. He had never brought money with him when he left the house! What to eat? How could there be any cheap dishes on this menu?
Suddenly, he raised his head towards the receptionist beside him and said, "I know the lady sitting over there. I also came with her today, can you put the list of the table under her account?"
The receptionist followed the direction of Du Jie's finger and saw a few people near the window. She recognized the only woman among them, and the receptionist shook her head with a bitter smile. "Sir, are you talking about Director Han? She is a platinum member of our guild, and if you are indeed her friend, it is best for you to speak to her on the phone or in person.
Du Jie was rejected by a waiter and immediately regretted proposing such a condition. He continued to explain, "I didn't want to disturb her to see a customer. Otherwise, I'll go and talk to her later. You serve the dishes first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Jie no longer paid attention to the reactions of the people around him and looked at the menu. After ordering a few items, he handed them to the waiter and once again looked at the table.
After the waiter had finished, she went to the manager's side and whispered, "That mister is very weird, he probably didn't bring any money."
Du Jie suddenly became the center of attention in the clubhouse, and even the security guards paid special attention to him.
Long Qianxiang sat next to Han Ruoqing, and a few older men sat across from her. They were very respectful to Long Qianxiang and probably had a deep relationship with the Long Group.
After Chen Yu Jiao's information, the Long Group was involved in the real estate business, and the Han Group was now strongly promoting the construction of a real estate project, which was more or less linked in the industry. However, this kind of business was a little child's play for the Long Group, so of course, it couldn't be considered as a competitor. As for Long Qianxiang introducing a portion of his clients to Han Ruo Qing, firstly, to increase Han Ruo Qing's opinion of him, and secondly, to take the opportunity to get close.
"I hope there's no business purpose!" What Du Jie was most concerned about was this.
"Director Li, it is my honor to have you interested in our company. Our company is still very mature in the construction of New Sea City's commercial entertainment. When I have time, I can personally take you to see the several places that are already in operation." Han Ruoqing raised her goblet and toasted everyone present.
During this time, he didn't forget to take advantage of Han Ruoqing. He patted her hand, and then placed it on her leg. The two of them had grown up together, so naturally, Han Ruoqing didn't care about such small details.
When the other party was casually asking about their relationship, Long Qianxiang's answer was a little vague, giving the impression that he was mistaken. Han Ruoqing was also inconvenient to explain, so she could only silently smile in response.
During the entire exchange, Du Jie noticed that Han Ruoqing was mostly talking about work-related matters, and Long Qianxiang was talking about the topic, so Du Jie was very uncomfortable.
The table was filled with dishes. When Du Jie looked at his table, he found it hard to believe. He asked the waiter, "Did I order all of this?"
"Yes, sir, I have a record of dishes served."
It's over, it's over. The more money I have, the more trouble I'll have. I have to keep an eye on these people, I can't let them escape, I have to pay my debt.
The situation was much more complicated than he thought. He had already noticed that the security guards and several waiters behind him were drawing closer and closer to him. They were really treating him like an overlord's food.
Du Jie didn't want these people to be nervous with him. He got up and explained, "Don't worry, I'll go greet Miss Han. Usually, if she wants to treat me to a meal, it depends on my timing. Just a moment, please. "
Du Jie stood up and scanned his surroundings warily. Step by step, he carefully shifted his gaze in Han Ruoqing's direction.
The manager led the crowd and naturally didn't believe him. They wanted to confirm if his words were true or not. If they really did know Han Ruoqing and she had paid him, then he would definitely be a good scout like this grandpa.
"Miss Han, I really like this idea of yours. Our company also needs to take this opportunity to hype up our company. Can you tell me how you usually improve the reputation of the club?" A man was very interested in Han Ruoqing's topic, but she didn't bring the business plan book with her, so she didn't know the details.
Just when Han Ruoqing didn't know how to express herself, Du Jie happened to appear on the scene with a surprised expression on his face. He even intentionally alarmed Long Qianxiang, who was smiling at Han Ruoqing.
"Du Jie?"
"Yo!" Young Master Long, what a coincidence! " Du Jie smiled as he shook hands with Long Qixiang. Long Qixiang absent-mindedly looked at Han Ruoqing. How could he not give her face? He could only stand up and extend his hand as well.
When the manager and the others saw this, they felt more at ease. If they recognized Young Master Long, then what he said must be true.
"This is?" Seeing Long Qianxiang being so polite to this person, they didn't dare to slight him.
At this moment, Han Ruoqing's face was deathly pale. She didn't dare to make a sound, and could only stare at Du Jie with a peculiar expression.
"Oh, I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. I'm Director Han's assistant, I manage a lot of her affairs."
What kind of status did he have? A good assistant was equivalent to a close butler of the CEO. In comparison, his ability would definitely be very outstanding.
Han Ruqing couldn't stand listening any longer. She pulled Du Jie over and whispered in his ear, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing. I just ordered a few dishes and realized that I didn't bring any money, so I came to inform you to not forget to calculate my account later."
"How troublesome, don't you know how to send WeChat messages?" Han Ruoqing turned her back to the crowd and didn't dare to speak loudly.
"You really don't know how to blacken me?"
Du Jie replied with a smile, nodding to the crowd.
Some interested in Du Jie, that person asked, "Just now we were asking Director Han how to use the developer's perspective to help the customer build a theme to raise their visibility. Assistant Du is interested to discuss this together!"
When Han Ruoqing heard this suggestion, her brain nearly exploded.
Du Jie wasn't the least bit flustered; he surveyed the people around him and gave a simple analysis of them with his eyes. Then, he unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat down, saying confidently, "Speaking of this, you really underestimate our Chairman Han."
Du Jie confidently turned his head to look at Han Ruoqing who was still standing behind him. Her pretty face was directly facing him, and he felt the tears in her eyes were about to burst.
