Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: Just in Time for a New Colleague to Join Us
Chi Enen had already gone down, so she didn’t know that just after she left, Li Beijue came out and even looked in the direction she departed.
After she went downstairs, a large stack of work was placed in front of her.
Since entering the Li family business was arranged personally by Old Master Li, although she joined the Li family only because of Li Beijue, now that she was in, she didn’t plan to seek any special treatment. The operational planning segment happened to be her weak point, so Chi Enen, with a learning spirit, earnestly completed every task.
By the time she finished all her work, the sun had already set outside.
She stretched lazily, printed out the project lists she had organized, and while the printer was running, she picked up her cup and headed to the pantries.
Busy throughout the whole day, she didn’t even have time to drink water, so now that she had a moment, she had to have some coffee to refresh herself.
It was close to the end of the workday, and many people were in the pantries.
Being a newbie and unfamiliar with everyone, Chi Enen quietly held her cup, intending to take her coffee back to her desk, finish her binding tasks, and go home to accompany her Bae Chi.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kang Hao entered the pantries.
Compared to Chi Enen, Kang Hao was noticeably more popular.
As soon as he walked in, several female colleagues greeted him, “Big Boss, finished with work?”
“Big Boss, since we did so well this quarter, shouldn’t you treat everyone to a meal to encourage us?”
Someone took the lead.
Others immediately chimed in, “Yeah, Big Boss should treat us to a meal.”
“I agree too. We’ve been working overtime, completing tasks ahead of schedule, so Big Boss must treat us. Don’t you all think so?”
“Is Big Boss really going to treat us to dinner? Great, let me think about what to eat today. It has to be something fancy. The Director earns so much, it wouldn’t look good if we don’t eat well, right?”
Kang Hao was serious and earnest at work but easy-going in private. People in the Planning Department knew his personality well, so they dared to gather around and heckle him. However, everyone was purely teasing him, using the crowd to get closer to their boss, without really expecting Kang Hao to treat them.
Amidst the crowd laughing and joking around Kang Hao, he glanced unnoticed in Chi Enen’s direction. Seeing that she was completely unconcerned with the commotion, making coffee on her own, his eyes brightened a little, and he suddenly smiled, saying, “Alright, I’ll treat everyone tonight!”
No one expected him to agree so readily to what was just teasing, and everyone showed surprise, especially the female colleagues, who blushed, their eyes sparkling. From their expressions, it seemed less about him treating dinner and more like Kang Hao was planning a matchmaking event.
“Is the Director really treating us tonight?” a girl asked boldly.
Kang Hao smiled slightly, his bright face exuding a relaxed and elegant charm, as he said, “Isn’t today the day when we have a new colleague joining us? How about we all gather for a meal tonight as a welcome party for the new colleague.”
After speaking, he glanced towards Chi Enen.
This glance caused everyone else to simultaneously turn their attention towards Chi Enen. In an instant, all the gazes in the pantries focused on Chi Enen—
Chi Enen had originally come over just to get a cup of coffee. Although she heard them urging Kang Hao to host a dinner, she hadn’t expected the topic would shift to her. With the conversation suddenly revolving around her and so many scrutinizing eyes on her, she was momentarily dumbfounded.
