Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the peak hour for employees to feel tired and muddle-head in the office. But today is different, all Huading's employees feel energetic. This is because they have heard some gossip and know that this afternoon's meeting will be tense. They don't dare to think the outcome of this meeting. It is not easy to find a better job nowadays. Many people are worried that the company will lay off its employees because of the recent recession. So at the beginning of the meeting, many employees waiting for the conclusion about dismissing staff.

Lu Chengyu followed Cao Jingshen into the conference room on the 28th floor. Cao Jingshen gave him a laptop and said, “You will take notes of today's meeting.”

Is this his job as a stenographer? Lu Chengyu looked at the silver-enclosed notebook in front of him. It looked very new and seldom being used.

“In the future, if you are using your own laptop, you can bring it to work. If you don't have any laptop, the company will provide one for you.” Cao Jingshen looks at Lu Chengyu and found that he was checking on this laptop. Cao Jingshen pushed his eyeglasses and said, “Rest assured, this notebook is new.” He implies that no one is doing something to the laptop.

Lu Chengyu said while laughing: “Is this laptop is free of charge?”

“If you sign a contract with the company for more than two years, you can get it for free.” Cao Jingshen opened a folder and stopped looking at Lu Chengyu. “The premise is that you can formally pass the probation period.”

“Then I'll use this one,” said Lu Chengyu, as if he hadn't heard anything from Cao Jingshen, he opened a blank document on the laptop and wait leisurely for the meeting to begin.

Cao Jingshen looked up at him and said nothing. The meeting room became quiet, but neither of them felt awkward and they do their own thing.

Soon several major shareholders and managers of various departments' branches came one after another, and basically, everyone had a secretary behind them. Lu Chengyu finally understood why Huading still had a Secretarial Department and Cao Jingshen was the chief-secretary. Indeed, Huading's internal organization is very complicated.

At 2:50 p.m, all the related people have arrived. Just when everyone thought the big boss would be late, Cao Jingshen suddenly stood up and went to open the conference room's carved door. A young looking man, aged around 27 – 28 years old, in a black suit and tie came in. To Lu Chengyu's surprise, he felt familiar with him. Where he had seen him?

“The meeting can begin now. Let's discuss our views about the company.” Yan Mu sat down on the boss' chair. Without looking at anyone he threw one file straight onto the table.

“Er shu (Second uncle) and San shu (Third uncle) are the old people in this company, so it's better to start with you two.” After Yan Lao Er (Yan second old man) and Yan Lao San (Yan third old man) exchanged look, Yan Lao San opened his somewhat unhappy mouth and said, “Why does it sound like you are asking for guilt when you said that?”

Yan Mu look at Yan Lao San for a while before he said, “Since you don't want to talk about it, let's have a look some good things that I have here. There is strength in the number, so if anyone sees any wrong information, feel free to point it out.” He turned to Cao Jingshen, who was sitting beside.”Jingshen, give out a copy of the information to everyone.”

Cao Jingshen opened a folder and took out a stack of papers. He hand over half of the papers to Lu Chengyu.

Lu Chengyu did not hesitate. He went to the other side and give out the papers, one by one in order. When he gives it to Yan Lao San, he received a sneer of disdain. Chengyu saw Yan Lao San taking a picture of the information that he just gives out, page-by-page. When he gave the papers to Yan Lao Er, Chengyu saw he was very calm. It seems like the second uncle was calmer than the third uncle.
