Chapter 100: Working Overtime Tonight

They stared at each other, and Zhang Chaowen gave in first. He have a cold laugh. “Well, well, you’ve made a good coffee.”

Zhuang Nainai gave a sweet smile. “Thank you for your compliment, Leader Zhang!”

She then proceeded to sit down in the last row and listened to Zhang Chaowen give out the assignments.

The Imperial Group’s 100th year anniversary celebration was a grand event with many important people attending. Even Mr. Si himself mentioned it multiple times during meetings. The design department was under immense pressure preparing for it.

Zhang Chaowen had to prioritize this matter over his displeasure with Zhuang Nainai.

The team pitched in a few more proposals for the venue decoration during the meeting, and Zhang Chaowen had to pick the best one.

It was already 6 pm by the time the meeting ended.

Everyone was exhausted. They exited the meeting room, stretching and rubbing their shoulders. Zhuang Nainai was the last to leave the room. She was halfway out of the door when she heard Zhang Chaowen’s voice. “Zhuang Nainai, go make copies of each of these proposals and distribute them to everyone in the team. It will help them make comparisons more easily.”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

Comparisons could be easily done with soft copies in the computer. Why must they be printed out?

Zhuang Nainai saw Zhang Chaowen’s menacing look and did not dare to make a scene. She clenched her fists and released them, and then took the files from him dejectedly.

There were so many documents, it would take at least another two hours to photocopy all of them.

Zhuang Nainai walked into the printing room and decided to send Si Zhengting a text message.

“I have to work overtime tonight, I’ll probably only finish by 8:30 pm. You go first, I will take a cab home.”

She then put away her phone and took a deep breath. Let the photocopying begin!

At the top floor of the building, the clock on the wall struck six.

Si Zhengting put down the pen in his hand and massaged his sore neck. He was about to announce the end of the day when his phone vibrated.

His eyes narrowed at the text message.

Outside the door, his assistants approached with some documents in hand, but they were all stopped at the door by Ji Chen. “Mr. Si is off work, he will not be looking at them today, put them aside.”

The assistants were perplexed.

Mr. Si had knocked off from work at 6 pm sharp yesterday. He would be doing the same again today? That was… unexpected.

An assistant stared at Ji Chen in disbelief and was about to ask something when Mr. Si’s cool voice came from inside the office. “Bring them in.”

Ji Chen was surprised.

He delivered the documents to the desk. Si Zhengting flipped one open casually and suddenly asked, “Do our employees usually work overtime?”

Ji Chen instantly realized what was going on.

Mr. Si was not leaving early today because Madam had to work overtime!

He thought about it and replied, “The upcoming 100th year anniversary has put the design department under a lot of pressure. Madam has just joined the venue design team, and she’s probably still in a meeting.”

Si Zhengting nodded.

However, he somehow could not concentrate on his work for the rest of the day. More than once, he had almost signed his name on a wrong spot. He finally threw down his pen and looked at the time.

It was already 7 pm.

Si Zhengting’s gaze started wandering to his phone now and then. Five minutes later, it rang and he picked it up immediately. To his disappointment, however, the display showed the name Mrs. Ding.
