Chapter 42 Upgraded Dining Location
"Don't call me that! Call me Minister Chen!" Upon hearing this, his ex-girlfriend's face immediately darkened.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Boheng clearly still held feelings, just a more restrained kind of affection.
"Alright, alright, Minister Chen," Li Boheng said with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Minister Chen," Wang Hong greeted him from the side.
Before Minister Chen could ask any questions, Li Boheng proactively explained, "This is my nephew."
Upon hearing this, Minister Chen, who had initially been reluctant to give him a friendly look, immediately softened his tone: "Hello."
"Come with me." She led the two of them toward the office.
"What do you need me for?" she asked, walking ahead without turning her head.
"I came to catch up with you." Li Boheng quickened his pace and walked alongside her.
This earned him a disdainful glare from the latter.
But it was precisely this expression that gave Li Boheng a signal: "She hasn't let go of me yet."
With his experience, he understood immediately.
When the group entered her office, Li Boheng immediately put his arm around her shoulder.
Without hesitation, the latter kicked Li Boheng in the shin.
But Li Boheng didn't react or let go. Instead, he grabbed Minister Chen, who was swaying to the side in pain, and scooped her up in his arms, asking, "You kicked so hard, does your foot hurt?"
Li Boheng works out regularly, so it's hard to say who would feel more pain if he were kicked by a delicate woman.
The latter, no longer bothering to cover his feet, looked at Li Boheng with a complicated expression.
Wang Hong could hardly bear to look; he hadn't come here to see these things.
He said somewhat helplessly, "Um, I'll go downstairs for a look around."
After saying that, he immediately walked out and closed the door.
He didn't want to know if Li Boheng and his ex-girlfriend could rekindle their old flame.
After coming out, Wang Hong headed towards the elevator.
Looking at the information Chen Bowen posted before, his office is a large office on the 3rd floor.
You can find him by going down to the 3rd floor.
After thinking about it, Wang Hong still didn't send him a message.
He took a baseball cap out of his bag and put it on.
Although it won't block much, at least Chen Bowen won't notice them right away.
Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a large area of office cubicles.
The space is about 300 square meters and has two separate offices and more than 20 booths.
Every booth was occupied at this time, with people constantly typing away on their keyboards.
Wang Hong guessed that the one by the window in the two separate offices must belong to Minister Ouyang Fang.
After all, the view from the window is better.
Wang Hong waited at the elevator entrance for a while, and then a young man came out to greet him.
"Hello, are you a friend of Minister Chen?" the young man asked politely.
"Mm." Wang Hong nodded.
This was something he had arranged with Li Boheng beforehand. He had only left the office a few minutes ago, and it was all set up. It seems that things are going quite smoothly with his ex-girlfriend.
"The minister said he'd show you around the office, please follow me."
"it is good."
Led by the young man, Wang Hong and he entered the personnel department's office together.
He pulled his hat brim down low, trying to walk as normally as possible, and said as soon as he followed the young man into the office, "Could I find a place to sit for a moment?"
The young man was taken aback upon hearing this.
Aren't you here to visit? Why are you looking for a place to sit right at the start?
"I have difficulty walking, so I can just sit and watch." Wang Hong showed him his prosthetic leg.
The latter's expression immediately changed, and he quickly led Wang Hong to the common area of the office.
Wang Hong didn't want to use the prosthetic limb, but sometimes it could save him a lot of trouble.
Wang Hong then sat down on the sofa. He had already spotted Chen Bowen's location and found an angle where he wouldn't be noticed.
The booth was blocked by something, so it wasn't easy for Wang Hong to see him after he sat down.
Moreover, the sofa is positioned so that you can see Ouyang Fang's office, which is a pretty good location.
He had just sat down when he received a message from Li Boheng: "I'm not that fast, enjoy your tour."
Wang Hong rolled his eyes, speechless at Li Boheng, but this suited him just the way he wanted; he did need some time.
He wanted to observe Ouyang Fang carefully from an outsider's perspective.
Unfortunately, the guy stayed in his office the whole time, and I didn't see him come out.
Chen Bowen was focused on his work, and the others were also busy typing away at their computers. The overall atmosphere seemed quite good.
This was somewhat different from what Wang Hong had imagined.
It seems that it's not as free as Wang Hong's workplace.
But that makes sense, since the leader's office is right next door, with the door open, and he keeps glancing outside every now and then.
Given Ouyang Fang's style, he might even find fault with them and use it to deduct bonuses or something.
Wang Hong sat and waited for a while, then saw someone walk out of the office.
Wang Hong guessed that he might be Ouyang Fang.
As soon as he came out, he called out to everyone, "The location for working overtime tonight has changed. A manager is coming. Let's go to the 'Jingya' restaurant next door instead. Xiaowen, get ready, this place is a bit pricey."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he turned and went into his office.
Chen Bowen, who was called out, sat at the table with a dark expression on his face! Ouyang Fang's "get ready" was an implication that he should prepare the money.
Jingya Hotel is one of the better restaurants in the area.
They hadn't eaten there before, but they knew the approximate price, which was a little over 100 yuan per person.
And since there will be leaders coming, they will definitely have to drink either white wine or red wine. In that case, a meal will probably cost at least three thousand.
If they get drunk, they might even fly into the sky and be finished.
After the leader finished speaking, the entire office fell silent. The person sitting next to Chen Bowen looked at him with sympathy.
It's just bad luck that a leader came to attend.
It seems that Chen Bowen has a chance to curry favor with the leader, but everyone knows that no matter how much money he spends tonight, the credit will ultimately go to Ouyang Fang.
The higher-ups wouldn't care about Chen Bowen, a newcomer on probation.
Chen Bowen reluctantly opened his bank card and checked the balance; there was only a little over two thousand yuan left.
"Looks like I'll have to use Alipay tonight." Chen Bowen clenched his fist.
He disliked this way of overspending the economy.
Then he opened WeChat and started typing away.
The next moment, Wang Hong's phone rang.
"Something urgent came up and I have to work overtime, so tonight's gathering is canceled. We'll meet up another time."
Wang Hong was stunned when he saw the message.
After thinking for a while, he didn't rush to reply to the message.
Instead, they opened the software and checked out the restaurant called Jingya.
If it costs 100 yuan per person, that's already quite a high expense.
Generally speaking, if there are many people dining together, the average price per person will be lowered.
After all, no restaurant charges per person.
According to the restaurant's description, all the tables are large, with 10 people per table.
As a result, the average cost per person is still 100 yuan, so Chen Bowen's dinner alone tonight will cost one or two thousand yuan.
Then, when leaders come, drinking is inevitable.
This will require another expense.
Wang Hong did a quick calculation and figured he'd need at least four thousand to cover it.
"It seems he doesn't want me to know about this dinner party."
