CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 15

The Administration Department chartered the top banquet hall, filled the banquet hall that could accommodate 10,000 people with round tables, and divided the seating areas according to different departments. Among them, ten directors of the company sat at the table closest to the stage, and vice presidents of the company and above were next to this table, in order of the next row. At the same time, in order to ensure that colleagues who are a little far away from the stage can also clearly see the performances on stage, the Administration Department also thoughtfully installed six large screens in the hall, synchronized live broadcast of the content of the annual meeting.
The annual meeting was scheduled to officially start at 2:00 p.m., just after 1:00, employees arrived one after another, half an hour later, in addition to the front row of a few executive seats are still empty, the field has been filled with people.
In fact, the executives and directors had all arrived. As soon as the directors got off the bus, a staff member introduced them to the lounge to rest, while the executives were practicing their dance in the cabin.
God damn it, except for the real heartbeat immobilizers, the executives, one by one, were all called by Huo Jun to be backup dancers.
When it comes to Huo Zhun’s appearance on stage, Ye Ling can’t be idle, not only do they have to repeatedly determine Huo Zhun’s time on stage, but they also have to be precise with each of Huo Zhun’s post-stage movements, so as to avoid Huo Zhun’s strange expressions appearing on the scene’s six big screens.
The administrative department specially invited a professional party planner to host this annual meeting. The head of the planning team was surnamed Ren, a capable female general in her thirties, and this was already the fourth time she was invited to plan the annual meeting of Phoenix Group. Facing Ye Ling, she answered in an organized manner, and even personally brought Ye Ling to confirm the order of the stage.
“Later on, when the music comes together, Mr. Huo will still go on stage from here, and then go to the center of the stage and stand there. Then Mr. Gu and the others will go on stage from both sides, all the flow is unchanged like yesterday’s rehearsal.” Ren Planner held the flow chart in his hand and stepped on it one position at a time to show Ye Ling.
Ye Ling silently notes down, “Okay, I’ll tell Mr. Huo and the others later that everything remains the same.”
“Yes,” Ren planner is very cheerful, “Mr. Huo, do they really plan to wear cat gloves on stage?”
“Secret.” Ye Ling smiles and sells a secret.
“Yesterday’s rehearsal these bosses were wearing suits and couldn’t see the effect. To be honest, I’d really like to see what they look like in cats gloves.” Ren Planner and Ye Ling smiled at each other, then tilted his head and shouted to the side, “How’s the curtain debugging going? No problem, right?”
Ye Ling followed her gaze and saw that there was a person standing on one side above the stage, gesturing to each other and fiddling with something.Hearing the planner shouting, the one on the right lowered his head and returned, “It’s fine, everything’s OK!”
“How come the curtain still needs to be debugged?” Ye Ling was puzzled.
“Assistant Ye, you don’t know. Last year, we designed a lot of tricks for our annual meeting, but none of them were presented because of the poor stage secrecy. This year, we learned a lesson and specially contacted someone to install such a curtain.” Saying that, Ren Planner tugged at the black and green heavy fabric in front of him, “Otherwise, how dare we both stand in the middle of the stage and talk like this?”
“So, is it all tuned up now?” Ye Ling asked.
“Okay. I started debugging two weeks ago, and today I’m just confirming it again.” Ren Planner smiled and walked towards the stage, “Don’t worry, what can happen to the curtain.”
As a result, something happened to the curtain.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the annual meeting began. After a simple speech by each leader, it quickly entered the exciting “President’s Dance” session. The entire banquet hall was silent, this is not an exaggeration, even the melon seeds have stopped. The crowd waited with eager anticipation, and even some photography enthusiasts set up tripods just to capture this exciting scene.
In the silence, they heard –
“Meow~~~”
The next second, the music started, the whole place boiled, and the six executives of the heavenly group led by Huo Zhun bounced out wearing striped jumpsuits with cat tails and cat ears and cat gloves.
“Pfft.” The audience offstage laughed en masse in a very facetious manner.
To say that Huo Jun can really go out on a limb at a critical moment, he’s the lead dancer, so he’s still dressed differently from the crowd, while others wear sky blue stripes, he wears pink. Because he practiced longer than the others, he danced especially well, with a cat’s tail that looked like the real thing.Coupled with the occasional two hands raised to the ear, meow cute little action, this feel is also quite magical ……
Ye Ling has also asked Huo Zhun, why so spell, he is the boss, pretending to mix over it. Huo Jun disagreed. He said that because he is the boss, so extraordinarily can not be fooled, otherwise the staff desperately row program for everyone to enjoy, but the boss is not taken seriously, this is not a joke? Besides, the boss at the annual meeting to sell a cute to the staff, which is the same as the colorful clothes to entertain relatives is a reason. People work for themselves for a whole year, not to amuse them a little bit, who wants to do a good job again?
In short, what he said is reasonable, Ye Ling does not fight with him, Ye Ling hiding in the side of the stage, look at this usually exploits their own things forced boss to disgrace themselves back, see are happy to die.
I think, under the stage to sell the coaxing everyone is also the same mood, right? You see sitting at the table of the director of Xu Shenqing, if it is not next to someone to stop, are going to top the Mediterranean old bald head standing on the table.
Suddenly, Ye Ling’s ears resounded with an exclamation.
“How did the curtain …… curtain come down!”
Ye Ling subconsciously raised his head, above the stage, the black curtain was somehow slowly descending!
“It’s closed!” Ren Planning yelled, “Who told you to lower the curtain!”
“No one lowered it, the remote control …… remote control didn’t listen to the call! That curtain lowered itself!” In the confusion, I don’t know who said back.
The planning team immediately lost their bearings, there are proposals to go with the flow as a special design there are shouting to call the stage master control to come, and there are even people who have the bad idea to interrupt the performance. Ye Ling anxiously looked at the top of the head, pretending to be a special design is to treat the audience as a fool, interrupt the performance is completely impossible. While others are not clear, Ye Ling understands how long Huo Jun has been practicing silently in order to complete this performance. In the eyes of outsiders, perhaps this is just a farce for the president to make a fool of himself, but for Huo Jun, even if he knows it’s a farce, he’s still trying to make this farce the best it can be.
This Virgo man is such a perfectionist, even if it’s a farce, he wants to be the best one.
So how could he, who had witnessed the whole thing, let his performance end hastily?
“Xiao Luo, one side with me, go to the shelf, let’s hold up this curtain, don’t let it fall down!” With his mind set, Ye Ling instructed the lighting assistant beside him, while taking a long leg, he ran around the backstage towards the opposite side of the stage.
In order to debug and overhaul the curtains, there would be two elevated shelves standing side by side on both sides of the stage, but the shelves were high and steep, so one had to be careful when going up. Ye Ling was so anxious that he didn’t care about that, he only used one hand to hold the railing, and his legs switched quickly, crossing two steps at a time, and stepped up in a few steps.
When he stepped up, the curtain was able to block one third of the stage, not yet affecting the viewing, but there were already employees who noticed the abnormality and were whispering. Ye Ling stretched out his hands and grasped the curtain tightly, and the strength of the descent suddenly made his body sink. He used more strength, while looking at the opposite side with Xiao Luo, after silently counting three numbers, both of them lifted at the same time.
The curtain was lifted up in its entirety.
And on the stage, the show continued.
Huo Zhun and all the vice presidents did not notice the change in the head in the slightest, and as soon as the interlude was over, they changed formation as they had lined up beforehand. The directors at the back came to the front, and all the vice presidents lined up in a row, kicking their legs. Huo Zhun is still standing in the very center, and that tail is cocked and the cat’s paw is scratched, paired with funny movements that seem to be stuck to a beat that is actually devoid of any softness, once again triggering laughter in the room.
Ye Ling, however, couldn’t be bothered to look at it. Although the curtain sounds like a cloth, but extremely thick, and long, usually look inconspicuous, once grasped in the hand but heavy to death. Moreover, the curtain was slowly falling, this heavy force came over, making him suffer even more. Not a moment later, his forehead and back was drenched in sweat, sweat flowed through his eyebrows into his eyes, salty and killing his eyes a raw pain.
He raised his shoulders with difficulty, wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, the next thing he did was to learn his lesson, and lowered his head, telling the sweat to drip directly onto the ground and not to flow into his eyes. However, he didn’t expect this, and his gaze just happened to collide with Huo Jun who raised his head to look cute.
In an instant, Huo Zhun’s hand movements stopped, he looked at Ye Ling in surprise, and simply couldn’t understand why he ran to such a high place.
Then in the next moment, Gu Xinzhang beside him used his movement to bump into him, which made him put aside his doubts for the time being and continue to finish the tune.
Fortunately, Ye Ling said in his heart, if you stiffen up on the stage, what’s the point of me lifting the curtain for you for half a day?
During the next performance, Huo Jun is obviously distracted, and he can’t help but raise his head to pay attention to Ye Ling’s safety at several places where he shouldn’t have raised his head at all. When the show finally ended, the other executives were still bowing to the stage with smiles on their faces, but Huo Zhun had already straightened his back and walked over to Ye Ling’s direction.
All those things about the boss not being able to do a good job and not being qualified to ask the employees, and the colorful clothes to entertain the relatives, seemed to have been thrown to the back of his mind.
Huo Zhun’s tiger’s head was a snake’s tail, but Ye Ling, as a qualified assistant, couldn’t help but cover for him. He glanced toward Xiao Luo on the opposite side, signaling him to count down to three and then drop the curtain at the same time. But just at the moment the curtain fell, he misjudged the weight of the falling curtain and actually lost his balance, falling straight down!
“Ye Ling!”
