Chapter 54 I Probably Won’t Like You
I felt so sick when I saw Jacqueline ‘s fawning look. She is really unscrupulous in order to get to the top. I don’t know what Dean would think if he saw her like this.
The meeting officially began, and Eugene took the stage to introduce the content of this project. From beginning to end, he had an icy face, with no climax, no repetition, and he spoke in a straightforward, simple and concise manner.
After he finished speaking, the chairman of the cooperative company also came on stage. After listening to his self-introduction, I learned that he was Ye Wei, the eldest son of the Ye family, the largest local catering group.
Although he has not inherited his father’s business, he has opened a cosmetics company and is doing well. This time, his father helped him to get the cooperation. If Mr. Ye had not come forward, Eugene would probably not have taken on this business.
Ye Wei’s personality is just as rumored on the street, a typical rich second-generation who likes romance, all kinds of internet celebrities and assembly-line beauties, and likes going to discos, clubs and driving sports cars. In short, he lives a luxurious and unrestrained life.
It is not difficult to understand why he dresses so trendy and casually.
After all the leaders finished speaking, Jacqueline went on stage and gave her own speech. The content of her speech was awkward. Apart from expressing her gratitude to the company for its support, she just used some useless cliches. However, the only thing she did well was that she frequently flirted with Ye Wei, which was very mean.
I thought that after Jacqueline finished her speech, the meeting was over, but after she stepped down, another person walked into the meeting room door.
When the man entered the room, Ye Wei explained in his seat, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that this man is a male model that the project team decided to add temporarily. His name is Ling Nan. He had an announcement in the morning, so I asked him to come in a little later.”
Ling Nan walked into the conference room, bowed to everyone in the room, and then sat next to Jacqueline .
I stared at Ling Nan with wide eyes. I never thought that besides being the owner of a coffee shop, he would have such an identity.
The meeting went on as normal, but I remained surprised by Ling Nan the entire time and was in a daze until the end of the meeting.
Lingnan and Jacqueline are the two models for this advertisement. In their next schedule, they will be shooting in the sixth floor studio of CE Group for a month.
The people in the room slowly dispersed, and I stared at Ling Nan’s back and rushed over, but before I reached the door, I was tripped by someone. I turned around in disgust and was about to complain when I found out it was Ye Wei.
Ye Wei looked me up and down, and said with a smile: “You haven’t told me your name yet! How come… you took off your makeup?” He continued to laugh, “You are so funny, you don’t even need to take off your makeup to apply toner!”
I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to say. At this time, Eugene walked up behind me, patted my shoulder and said, “Take the file back to the office.”
joking with Eugene behind me , “Although women look ugly without makeup these days, this is the first time I’ve seen such a pretty woman without makeup. Mr. Johnson , you have a good eye for recruiting people…”
Eugene responded calmly, “Don’t even think about her. She’s married and has children.”
Ye Wei just sighed, “Then there’s nothing we can do.”
After leaving the conference room, I ran all the way down the corridor. I thought I could catch up with Ling Nan, but I didn’t see any trace of Ling Nan until I ran to the lobby on the first floor.
After following him to no avail, I went upstairs again in disappointment. When I returned to Eugene ‘s office, I saw him staring at me coldly, as if he was going to accuse me.
“I asked you to go back to the office, where did you go?”
I blurted out the truth, “I went after Lingnan.”
Eugene had a lot of question marks in his head, his eyebrows knitted tightly, “Who to chase!”
I saw that he was really a little angry, so I took small steps towards him.
I sat back at my desk and said with a respectful smile, ” Mr. Johnson , do you have any instructions for me?”
Suddenly, he picked up a thick stack of documents from his desk, turned around and put it in front of me, and said, “Translate it and compile it into a document before leaving get off work today.”
I looked at the inhumanely thick French contract and my face darkened. “Before get off work ends today?”
He stood up, picked up his suit and was about to leave, “There’s no room for negotiation.”
I followed him, rubbing my hands together and begging, “Please, two days? I can’t finish it in one day! So much…”
At this moment, the office door in front of me was suddenly pushed open. I was still wondering who was so rebellious that he dared to push the door without saying hello like me, but the person who appeared in front of us was Eugene ‘s mother, Shirley .
Shirley stood at the door, Eugene instinctively took me into his arms and said gently, “Why are you in my company?”
Shirley looked surprised. She looked at me, then at her son, and asked, “Why is she in your company…”
Eugene hugged my shoulders even harder, “She’s my secretary now.” Turning his head, he looked at me lovingly, “Really, baby?”
I spit out a mouthful of blood…
Shirley’s eyes widened in shock, “You brought her to the company?”
Eugene curled his lips slightly, “Since we are going to get married, what’s wrong with that?”
Immediately, Shirley quickly closed the office door with both hands, walked into the room angrily, and turned around and said, “How could you bring her to the company! When did I agree to you two being together?”
Eugene smiled, “It seems to be my business who I am with.”
” Eugene , don’t mess around!”
Eugene shrugged, “If you can’t accept her, then don’t expect me to accept other women. I won’t marry anyone other than her.” After a pause, he continued, “What are you doing in the company? Are you going to arrange a blind date for me again?”
Shirley stood there angrily, she clenched her fists hanging at both sides of her body and said nothing.
However, although Shirley was very angry at this time, I could see that she was trying her best to suppress herself and maintain her dignified and steady appearance.
I think if this happened to my parents, they would have started crying and maybe even taken off their shoes and beat me.
Shirley ‘s ability to withstand pressure is really strong.
Eugene pushed me casually and said gently, “Wait for me downstairs.”
After getting his permission, I didn’t want to stay even a second longer so I ran out of the office and went downstairs.
As I walked to the first floor lobby, my heart was pounding, a little fast, too fast and not normal.
I sat on the stairs at the entrance of the hall and calmed my heartbeat.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Shirley walked out of the door first . She didn’t see me, and got into her private car with a very bad look on her face, and then drove away.
After a while, Eugene also came out. When he passed by me, he stopped hesitantly and said something that made my blood boil.
“What are you doing here?”
I saw that he was not joking, so I forced a smile and said, “Didn’t you tell me to go downstairs?”
He suddenly laughed, “I told you to go downstairs, so you went downstairs? Why didn’t you hide in another office?” He frowned, “You don’t really think of yourself as my girlfriend, do you?”
Hearing him say this, I felt a little lost for some reason.
Although I knew very well that someone like me was not worthy of Eugene , it still made me feel uncomfortable when he said that.
I pretended to be nonchalant and patted his shoulder, then said with a smile: “Hey! I just want to help you with your tricks! How dare I think I’m your girlfriend, haha… I don’t dare…”
When the conversation ended, there was a long gap between the two of us.
I don’t know why, but I felt that today’s warm sun was particularly dazzling, and the gentle breeze around me was particularly cool. I could hardly stand there and just wanted to run away quickly.
Eugene stood in front of me, looking at me deeply for a long time. Suddenly, he said seriously: “If it were in the past, I might…” He paused, ” Candice , I probably wouldn’t like your type, so…”
I interrupted him with a laugh, “Don’t be so serious, okay? Who expects you to like me? I don’t like you either! Aren’t we a fake couple? So I’ll just cooperate with you in acting, isn’t that all!”
His eyes were empty for a moment, then he nodded, “Yeah, that’s it.”
