Suddenly, a puppy darted out from the intersection ahead! I was startled and slammed on the brakes.
Cheng Minghua, who was almost asleep, was completely awake now.
"Are we there?" he asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
I awkwardly explained, "Sorry, manager Cheng, there was a puppy just now."
Cheng Minghua looked around and asked, "Where are we?"
"Why aren't you using the navigation while driving?"
"Where are we going?"
I explained, "I saw you drunk in the garage earlier, and you asked me to take you home..."
Cheng Minghua rubbed his temples and asked, "Did you drink?"
I shook my head.
He sighed, "Then you should get out and find a designated driver."
"If I do that, I'm afraid I won't make it home alive."
I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car.
" manager Cheng, please wait here for a moment while I call a taxi."
Cheng Minghua stood by the roadside, the night breeze tousling his hair.
After thinking for a moment, he called out to me, "Wait."
I turned back to look at him.
He slowly said, "You get in the driver's seat."
"Huh?"
"Aren't you going to ask me something?"
"Let's talk in the car."
My eyes lit up.
Cheng Minghua sat in the passenger seat and looked at me. "Go ahead, what’s your question?"
I took out the Project Proposal: " manager Chen g, I wanted to ask about page 8 of the Project Proposal..."
Cheng Minghua interrupted me, "Let's not talk about work right now."
"Just drive carefully; we can discuss it in the office tomorrow."
I nodded and started the car.
The next day, Cheng Minghua called me into his office.
In just a minute, the conversation was over.
As I turned to leave, Cheng Minghua tapped his fingers on the desk.
"Wait."
I turned back to look at him.
He gestured for me to look at something on the table.
It was a lipstick.
I paused for a moment before realizing what it was.
" manager Chen g, is this...?"
Cheng Minghua's expression was neutral: "Is it yours?"
"It fell in my car yesterday."
"I only saw you using this childish patterned lipstick."
My face flushed with embarrassment as I quickly took the lipstick back.
"Thank you, manager Chen g."
Oh my, I had just cursed him a hundred times last night.
That dog of a man, that dog of a man, that dog of a man.
I didn't expect he would remember my taste.
I silently stuffed the lipstick into my bag.
Just as I was about to turn and leave, I suddenly realized something.
Wait, wasn't I here to ask about the Project Proposal?
" manager Chen g, regarding my Project Proposal..."
Cheng Minghua waved his hand and said, "I have discussed this with your team leader."
"Huh?" I was completely confused. Why did he still call me over?
With a heart full of questions, I returned to the office. The way the team leader and my colleagues looked at me was completely different from before. The team leader was overjoyed to be summoned by Cheng Minghua. Everyone praised him, predicting that he would soon be promoted and make a fortune.
The team leader smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't say that; we haven't even started yet."
"If someone from our team can really gain recognition from manager Cheng, it would be an honor for us."
At this point, the team leader glanced at me. "Xiao Fang, although you haven't been with the company long, you have been working very hard."
"However, sometimes it's better not to be too ostentatious."
"We have worked together for so many years, and we are like family. I don't want anyone to cause trouble and give manager Cheng a bad impression of our team. Do you understand?"
I smiled and replied, "I understand, team leader."
I returned to my workstation and opened my computer. Ignoring their comments, I focused on studying the revisions suggested by Cheng Minghua. Although Cheng Minghua did not personally guide me, his suggestions had indeed provided significant help for our project. Moreover, he had also boosted the team's enthusiasm for work to unprecedented levels. Nobody wanted to lag behind; everyone was determined to give their best effort.
Thanks to everyone's collective efforts, the Project Proposal was finally approved.
