Chapter 9

Lin Sifei was afraid she may have missed something, so she

   searched carefully again and dragged another pageout from

   behind the flowerpot. That should be all of them.

   She rushed into the elevator with her mouth clamped around the

   pages, jumped up, and hit the shorter button meant for those on

   wheelchairs.

   As the elevator rose, Lin Sifei slapped her paws anxiously,

   willing it to go faster. .

   As soon as the elevator door opened, she ran to Zhao Min's

   secretary desk, spat out the pages on the ground and started

   meowing.

   Zhao Min was answering the phone, and when she saw Lin Sifei,

   she raised her hand, "Chair  Luo's cat is here, I'll hang up

   first. You have a good journey."

   She bent down, pulled out the tissue and squeezed what she had

   picked up, "Flash drive? Where did you get it? This is

   something people use for work."

   She sighed, slightly annoyed. This little thing lately only

   caused her trouble. She reached out and picked up the paper

   again, and she froze when she glanced at the title. Isn't this

   the plan?

   "Shoot, Chair Luo and the others have already set off." She

   stood up to chase.

   Lin Sifei first wrapped around her leg, and then jumped on the

   table to pat the printer. Please, make a copy again, my saliva

   is on it, as well as the holes made by my teeth.

   "Oh, yes, right, make a copy." Zhao Min saw the hole, so she

   hurried into the copy room and made three copies.

   Lin Sifei jumped on her shoulder and patted her forehead

   comfortingly, "Meow!" Don't be in too much of a hurry, they

   just left. It's fine if you drive over to give them the papers.

   Zhao Min took a deep breath, comforted by her soft paw. While

   ushering Lin Sifei into the elevator, she called Special

   Assistant Lin.

   "Hey Lin, the team's plan is incomplete. Can you quickly ask

   them to check it, and have them have everything else ready

   while I send the missing pages over.

   Special Assistant Lin was shocked at first, and then surprised,

   "How do you know we're missing things? Do you know what's

   missing?"

   "Let's talk about the specifics when we come back. The missing

   parts were just brought over by Chair Luo's cat and there is

   also a flash drive."

   "Okay, thanks for letting me know."

   Special Assistant Lin turned his head and explained the

   situation to Luo Ke. She frowned and nodded at him, "Hurry up

   and contact the group. The flash drive probably has their

   PowerPoint presentation ."

   Special Assistant Lin hurriedly contacted them, and it was

   really true. He was so annoyed, "Secretary Zhao will send it

   over in a while, you guys quickly open to the missing pages and

   wait."

   After he finished ranting to them, his tone slowed down again,

   "Don't worry too much. The most urgent thing for you is to win

   this contract, cheer up, and don't be affected by a little

   unexpected episode…"

   He rambled on his comforting speech, similar to a teacher who

   was sending a class to the college entrance examination.

   Luo Ke crossed her arms over her chest and looked out the

   window. Did Xiaoxiao find it? Was she worrying about this

   cooperation, since she wasn't eating well recently?

   Thinking of this, she curled her lips slightly and rolled her

   throat twice. It had been too long, no one had cared about her

   in too long. Although her grandma and uncle also do care about

   her, she never reported any bad news to them, and everyone else

   thought she was all-powerful.

   Thinking of the way Xiaoxiao was tossing around her pillow last

   night, she wanted to laugh again. When she caught Special

   Assistant Lin glancing at her with a mortified expression, she

   coughed, raising her hand up clenched in a fist to cover the

   corner of her mouth.

   "

   "

   Special Assistant Lin turned his head back and sent a message

   to the frightened group members.

   [Chair Luo seems to be very happy, it shouldn't be too big of a

   problem]

   Happy??? Now those in the group were confused as heck.

   But, in any case, the contract still had to be negotiated. The

   group of people got out of the car, and the people of Baylor

   were already there, welcoming them.

   Luo Ke stepped forward to shake hands with them, and walked in

   together.

   The man in a suit left the deputy leader outside to wait for

   Zhao Min.

   "Miss Luo, then let us start now."

   The hairs of the people in the planning group instantly stood

   on their ends. Their important files had not arrived yet,

   especially that flash drive.

   Luo Ke sat on the chair, and gestured to Special Assistant Lin

   behind her. He smiled and placed a nicely packaged gift in

   front of every person in the Baylor delegation.

   "Miss Luo, what is the meaning of this?"

   "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. It's just that you

   have come from afar, and I am afraid I don't know much about

   our country's culture. The box is a gift that I carefully

   prepared. I hope that we will get to know each other briefly,

   communicate our thoughts, and then proceed. The meeting may

   have a better effect this way."

   Baylor's people looked at each other and stretched out their

   hands to open their respective boxes. Everyone received

   different items. Some people got special locks, some were

   sandalwood fans.

   Luo Ke talked about the different customs and cultures in

   various parts of the country and the cultural concepts

   accumulated in the long history based on what they were

   holding.

   "It's kind of interesting, completely different from what we

   know." The people from Baylor smiled and nodded.

   Luo Ke raised her eyebrows, "This is the biggest difficulty and

   the biggest success of our cooperation this time. The wave of

   cultural collision can push us to the top, or it may sink us."

   "From this point of view, the risk of working with your company

   is too great."

   "Risks and benefits are equal, so what do we have to do to let

   the balance of success lean to our side?"

   *

   The deputy team leader waited at the door, pacing around

   anxiously, looking back at the living room in the villa from

   time to time. Chair Luo, please hold on, or it will really be

   over.

   He had almost become a giraffe at the door, craning his neck,

   until finally, a red car appeared in his sight. Zhao Min held

   the folder file in her hand and ran towards him with the cat in

   her arms.

   The deputy team leader leaped at her happily, took the folder

   from her hand, turned on a dime and ran in.

   "Hey, wait for me." Zhao Min was on high heels and almost

   twisted her ankle.

   The deputy team leader rushed straight to the team leader and

   stuffed the folder into his hand.

   They are all sitting on the table, with people from Baylor next

   to them. The team leader could only hide the folder carefully

   and act like he was restacking his papers.

   Yan Yafei graciously helped him look through the folder, the

   group leader paused with his hand, looked up at her, and

   whispered: "Go to the side first."

   Yan Yafei stiffened, "Then, that will be distributed and shown

   later."

   "He can do it." The team leader patted the deputy team leader's

   arm.

   Yan Yafei bit her lower lip, still wanting argue back, tbut he

   colleague next to her pulled her sleeve, "Hurry up, don't be

   seen."

   As Yan Yafei turned her head, her high heels made a loud

   clicking sound.

   Luo Ke's eyes lightly swept over her, but her gaze stopped at

   Zhao Min, who was standing not too far away, and the cat who

   was on Zhao Min's head.

   The corners of her lips slightly raised, "It seems that my

   employees can't wait, so please take a look at the plan

   prepared by our company."

   The male team leader in the suit stepped forward and started

   his presentation as prepared in advance.

   Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, and the deputy team leader

   approached in a low voice, "Fortunately, you came in time,

   otherwise I really don't know what to do."

   "You should thank it, it was thanks to the cat that we found

   the missing things."

   Lin Sifei listened to praise while staring at Luo Ke. She saw

   that Luo Ke had smiled just now, and was so good-looking. It

   was worthwhile for her to stress over and make the trip.

   Zhao Min felt that something was a little strange, "Chair Luo

   never smiles, but she actually smiled today. Is she finally

   understanding her power and using her visuals to conquer the

   other company?"

   Lin Sifei glanced at her and slapped her chin.

   Superficial! Although Luo Ke looked beautiful, she's stronger,

   and she is so proud of herself. She would not use her beauty to

   conquer people.

   After the presentation, Luo Ke and the others successfully

   elicited a cooperation contract from Baylor. Outside the villa,

   she stretched out her hands at Zhao Min, and Zhao Min handed

   Lin Sifei to her.

   Lin Sifei leaped her arms, happily nuzzling, meowing at her.

   "This time, you have done a great job." She scratched her chin,

   bent over and got into the car.

   Unlike her good mood, the car with the group members was much

   more serious. Originally, they had it planned well, but because

   of this incident, they didn't even think about any potential

   bonuses. The group members could only hope that there would be

   no punishment.

   There was dead silence in the car, and a colleague finally

   couldn't help but utter, "We really emphasized double checking

   everything before leaving, but even then, this can happen,

   unbelievable."

   Yan Yafei pouted her mouth and clenched her skirt tightly, "I

   didn't want to either, it wasn't my intention."

   "Yes, know you didn't mean it, but don't act pitiful. Makes it

   seem like we were bullying you."

   "I didn't say that."

   "Everybody understands." The colleague snorted coldly and

   rolled her eyes.

   "You! You slander me!" Yan Yafei clenched her lower lip with

   anger, her face pale, really looking quite pitiful.

   But her mistake this time was too low-level, and she herself

   knew that the impact of this incident was very bad.

   "

   "

   The man in the suit raised his hand, "Okay, everybody stop

   talking. We won the contract this time, everyone should be

   happy."

   The deputy team leader also rolled his eyes, "We aren't

   necessarily guaranteed any bonuses now, what are you happy

   about."

   "Okay, don't talk about it!" The team leader scolded, "Let's

   just see how Chair Luo decides to handle the situation."

   The car fell silent again.

   Back at the company, Lin Sifei sat on the desk expectantly,

   waiting for Luo Ke to fire the "heroine".

   Luo Ke looked at her big eyes, touched her head, bent over and

   took out the snacks from the drawer, "I will make an exception

   today and allow you to eat snacks."

   Lin Sifei stared at the snacks in front of her, then at Luo Ke,

   then at the snacks, and at her again. Then, she smacked the

   snacks with one paw, "Meow!"

   Luo Ke frowned, "Don't you like this snack? What do you want to

   eat? Or do you want something else?"

   Lin Sifei stood up angrily and paced around on the table. How

   could she express to Luo Ke that she needed to fire the

   heroine? The heroine committed such a low-level mistake, won't

   you fire her?

   She turned twice and stopped, suddenly plunged into Luo Ke's

   purse next to her, pulled out her wallet, and then bit out a

   piece of cash from it.

   Money, money, bonus.

   However, Luo Ke did not realize at all, "Do you want money to

   buy things?"

   Lin Sifei, discouraged, splayed out her body and lay still on

   the table.

   Luo Ke reluctantly propped her chin on one hand, tapped her

   fingers on the table, thinking about what her cat wanted.

   "Chair Luo, will there be a celebration party for winning the

   contract?"

   Luo Ke nodded, "Yes, they have worked so hard for so long."

   Lin Sifei looked up at her, and upon finding that she had

   really finished speaking, couldn't help being a little

   dumbfounded. Not only did Lin Sifei freeze in confusion, but

   Zhao Min also stood still.

   "Is there anything else?"

   Zhao Min bit her lower lip, "Well, doesn't Yan Yafei need to be

   dealt with?"

   "Do you have any suggestions?" Luo Ke lowered her head to tease

   her cat.

   "I think Yan Yafei has caused a very bad impact this time, and

   it is not the first time that she has committed this type of

   mistake. She should be fired as an example for others." After

   Zhao Min finished speaking, she subconsciously pressed her lips

   together, nervous.

   Luo Ke glanced at her, "You have some strong opinions on Yan

   Yafei."

   Zhao Min's back straightened, for fear that Luo Ke would fire

   her in her next sentence.

   "Since you think so, let's fire her. Supervising is also one of

   your jobs. I believe you should have enough reasons to make

   this decision."

   Zhao Min nodded slightly and went downstairs to the personnel

   department to deal with it.

   Lin Sifei happily clapped her paws together. Great, they've

   finally sent away this killer of a heroine.

   Luo Ke saw her smiling face and rubbed her head, "You are also

   a hero."

   Lin Sifei twisted her face, hummed and ignored her. Stupid, Luo

   Ke, how are you not as keen as Zhao Min.

   Luo Ke, suddenly sidelined, smiled. Suddenly, she frowned. Zhao

   Min said earlier that Xiaoxiao had found the things.

   She stood up, took out a few packets of snacks for Lin Sifei,

   and rubbed her head, "I have something to do, you stay here."

   Lin Sifei tilted her head suspiciously, but quickly disregarded

   it for the snacks.

   Luo Ke went all the way to the security room.

   When Luo Ke went in, the two security guards were leaning on

   their chairs and making jokes. The one facing the door saw Luo

   Ke, and patted the other person in a hurry. The man turned his

   head, stood up hurriedly, and fixed his hat, "Chairwoman Luo!"

   Luo Ke glanced at them, "I'll take a look at the surveillance,

   you can go out and patrol."

   "Do you need us to help you find anything?"

   "No, it's related to the company's affairs. I will copy and

   then delete the section later."

   Upon hearing this, the security guards knew they couldn't ask

   too much. After making a few gestures at each other, they went

   out together, and helped Luo Ke close the door.

   Luo Ke bent down to find the daytime surveillance, starting

   from the time she arrived at the company, and found Xiaoxiao's

   figure. Soon, she saw that in the surveillance, Xiaoxiao ran

   into the team's office, strolled and rummaged around for a

   while, then found the disk, and then Yan Yafei appeared in the

   surveillance.

   Seeing the process of losing the files, Luo Ke's face became

   cold. This wasn't a simple case of  forgetfulness.

   Seeing Xiaoxiao collecting information, Luo Ke's heart felt

   warm. What a stupid cat, obviously, she didn't think of

   surveillance. If someone had seen her, she would have really

   been taken away for a scientific dissection or something.

   She sighed, copied down this part of the surveillance video,

   and deleted the rest.

   "Didn't even know to be careful."
