President Romance

After a while, the catering department brought up the delicious and hot food.

The amount of food was enough for four people. Seeing that Chang Coke seemed to have been hungry for a long time, Qiao Bin specially ordered someone to bring more.

"Miss Chang, please use it, I hope it suits your appetite." Qiao Bin smiled as he pushed the food that made the index finger move in front of her eyes.

Her mouth was already chewing, so she had no choice but to nod in response.

Everyone knows the quality of food in the catering department of Qiao's No. [-] Department Store employees. Although Qiao Bin is very strict and picky with his employees, and does not allow mistakes to happen, the employees also receive good benefits.

To continue to enjoy the generous benefits provided by Joe's, one must meet the strict requirements of the top person in charge. If not, one must leave, just like the saleswoman who was fired just now.

It is definitely not his style of behavior to appease and raise traitors, and what happened just now can also achieve the effect of killing everyone!
Let all the employees who are still working in Trader Joe's clearly know that without the first-class service level and attitude, it is impossible to stay and work here!

Chang Kele swept the food into his stomach like a gust of wind sweeping the fallen leaves. After eating for about ten minutes, the speed of eating slowed down.

Sitting on the sofa opposite her, Qiao Bin watched her wolfing down, the smile on her face deepening.

I don't know why, but this woman who met for the first time was able to hold his gaze tightly, and at the same time, it also evoked a real smile in his heart.

How long has he not smiled sincerely?He can't remember!But now, he laughed because of the woman in front of him.

After a wild meal, Chang Kele put down the tableware and smiled contentedly, "It's delicious!"

"Really? It's an honor for our catering department to be praised by Miss Chang."

"The cook here is really good!" She smiled even more happily.

The belly was full, and the sunny smile on her face became even brighter.

"I will tell them the truth about Miss Chang's compliment."

"I'm the only one eating, Mr. Qiao should eat some too!" Chang Kele was a little embarrassed to find that all the messy cups and plates on the table were from her hands.

"Thank you Miss Chang for your kindness, but I just ate and I'm not hungry."

"Is that so..."

Glancing at the table, there was still one dessert that he hadn't eaten, unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, Chang Kele suppressed his embarrassment, and took the sweet-scented osmanthus pastry in one hand.

After taking a bite, the fresh scent of sweet-scented osmanthus entered her taste buds.

"Wow, this is super delicious!" Chang Kele said loudly to Qiao Bin as if discovering a new world.

"Really?" Seeing her innocent face, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise even higher.

It's just a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but it can make her show such a sweet and innocent smile!If only everyone could be satisfied and happy so easily...

Tasting the perfect sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Chang Kele couldn't get enough of it. Suddenly, she thought of a question that she had forgotten for a long time——

"Uh, yes, this meal..."

"In order to thank Ms. Chang for being generous and not to pursue the dereliction of duty and rude attitude of the former employees of our company, please allow me to express my gratitude through this meal."

Hearing what he said, Chang Kele finally felt relieved.

She is penniless now, if Qiao Bin asks her to pay the bill, I'm afraid she won't even be able to pay for the empty plates on the table.

"Then... thank you for your treat." She gave him a smile. "To tell you the truth, I was about to faint from hunger just now. Mr. Qiao's meal came at the right time, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

In fact, Qiao Bin’s daily business is extremely heavy, and the schedule is so tight that he can’t even insert a needle. Today’s visit to this branch is just one of his many business affairs. Next, he still has a lot of things to do .

But now he stayed here for a long time, but at the same time he called the catering department to deliver the food, he made a few phone calls and quickly arranged the next matters.

This is not like his usual style!

"By the way, Mr. Qiao, actually I have something to ask." Chang Kele rolled his eyes and said softly.

"Miss Chang, please tell me."

"I have been traveling on my own all over the world, but yesterday, not long after I got off the plane, my wallet was taken away, and I didn't even have any money on me. That's how I got my stomach flattened by hunger." Speaking of this, Chang Kele smiled wryly, "To be honest, I now need a job to make ends meet and accumulate travel expenses for the next stop. Is there any vacancy in your company?"

Although she knew that such a self-recommendation would be abrupt and the chance of success would not be very high, but Chang Kele really needed an income. If she couldn't find a job, she would be starving again!
As if he didn't expect Chang Kele to say such a thing, Qiao Bin was silent for a few seconds.

He admitted that Chang Kele, who met for the first time, caused him to behave differently, and the reason he knew very well——

If it wasn't for the fact that her voice was somewhat similar to Qiao Xin's, and she had a sunny quality that attracted people's attention, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to let him, a workaholic, stay here.

However, how could he let her, whom he met for the first time and whose background was unknown, stay at Qiao's to work?
Although she doesn't look like a person with evil intentions at all, it's hard to paint a tiger's skin, who knows what kind of person she is in her bones.

Qiao's is his heart and blood, and he will never allow any bad factors that destroy or shake the kingdom to infiltrate.

Just when he was about to refuse, the door of the office opened without warning, and the person who came was an elderly woman.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chang Kele naturally cast his gaze over there, and upon seeing it, his mouth immediately opened wide——

"Ah, do you have a guest?" The old woman said, looking at Chang Kele beside Qiao Bin, "Huh? Isn't this the kind lady just now?"

"You know each other?" Qiao Bin was startled.

The old woman happened to be a good friend of Qiao Bin's grandfather, and also one of the shareholders of Qiao's No. [-] Department Store.

Whenever she has time, she will visit the branches. Anyway, she is idle, so she might as well do something beneficial to the company.From the outside, she looks like an ordinary old woman. She walks around the department store as a customer and can see the real side of the employees best.

Today, as usual, she came to this branch and heard that Qiao Bin also came here. It is not easy to meet him who is busy with work, so she made a special trip to the office, but she didn't expect that it would be because of this. And goodbye to Coke.

"She gave up her seat to me just now." The old lady nodded and looked at Chang Kele lovingly. "I don't know if this kind lady is..."

"Let me introduce, she is Miss Chang. Miss Chang, she is Ada." Qiao Bin standing between the two said.

"My name is Chang Kele." This mother-in-law's name is Ada?Old people nowadays are very trendy!It even has an English name!
"Chang Kele? Well, a good name." After chewing her name carefully, the old woman nodded. "Hehe...Ada is the English name I chose a few years ago, isn't it nice? Don't call me by honorific titles! I'm calling you old people who don't know how to be old!

Just call me Ada, it's kind and easy to call, and I feel younger!By the way, Bin'er, why did you lure Le'er here? "

As soon as she knew her name, the old woman called her affectionately, which showed that she had a good impression of her.

"This...it's a long story!" Qiao Bin glanced at Chang Kele.

"I should go." After staying here for a long time, Chang Kele said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, thank you for your treat. I was rude about what happened just now. Please pretend I didn't say it. Ada, goodbye!"

After speaking, she picked up her luggage.

Qiao Bin was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would simply leave like this before hearing a reply.

Chang Kele shrugged. Anyway, she didn't have too many expectations, so she wasn't too disappointed.It is absolutely understandable for him not to hire her from an unknown background, and she is just gambling on luck!
There is no job to do here, so she must look elsewhere as soon as possible!The stomach is full and the energy is full, which is the best time to find a job.

She took a step, but someone grabbed her arm.

"Leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer!" the old woman said with a smile, refusing to let her go. "It's fate to meet each other, not to mention I met you twice in the same day!"

It was a bit of a bad premonition, but Qiao Bin remained calm and waited and watched.

"This..." Not knowing how to reject the old lady's kindness, Chang Kele had no choice but to temporarily put down his heavy luggage.

"Come, come! Sit here and chat with the lonely old man! Bin'er, don't stand still, come, sit down!"

Now, Chang Kele really couldn't say that he had to rush to find a job.

The two young men and women sat back on the sofa, and they sat for more than half an hour.During this time, the old lady knew a lot about Chang Kele.

She was born in Taiwan, and immigrated to the UK with her family when she was young. She used to have a harmonious family, but when she was in high school, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her alone.

Fortunately, she is optimistic and strong by nature. With the enthusiastic help of friends and relatives around her, Chang Kele has always taken good care of herself.

After graduating from university at the age of 22, she worked for four years until now at the age of 26.

"Traveling around the world has always been my dream. I feel very happy to be able to see the most beautiful scenery in the world with my own eyes." She smiled. When I come to the office, I always hope that I can grow a pair of wings, fly out like an unfettered bird, and embrace the blue sky and white clouds.

This is how I work while daydreaming. Every time my boss catches me in a daze, I will be scolded bloody by a series of words that are as fast as a machine gun.

Finally one day, when I woke up, the idea of ​​resignation came into my mind, and I couldn't get rid of it.I decided to go all out, and immediately got up and typed the most arrogant resignation letter ever written, and threw it in the face of that mean foreign devil boss, which was regarded as revenge for being enslaved by him for the past few years.

My job was ruined, and I saw that I had saved a sum of money in the bank, so I started to travel. After all, the great plan of traveling the world must be completed when you are young! "

"Yes, that's right." The old lady seemed to appreciate Chang Kele's personality of resolutely putting down her career and living for her dreams. "Oh... I should have walked around when I was young, but now that I'm old, I can't go far. This old bone is really becoming more and more useless. It's not like your younger generation, which is full of energy!

By the way, if you go to so many countries, you need a lot of travel expenses, right? "

"Yes! To travel around the world, the most important thing I need is money. To be honest, my savings have been spent in the first few countries. Now I continue to travel while earning travel expenses. Although it is a bit difficult to find a job in a different place, But as long as you have perseverance, you will find it.”

"You are such a good boy who is diligent and not afraid of working!" The more she talked with Chang Kele, the more the old woman admired her.

"I was forced! Because I have no money, I have to work!"

"So you're looking for a job now, too?"

"Yes, I had some money at hand, but I was too careless, and someone picked it up." Although it was a tragedy, she didn't care, and she still had a sunny smile on her face.

"That's it..." The old lady turned her head and said to Qiao Bin who had been silent beside her, "Bin'er, isn't there a servant in your family who is going on maternity leave? You can ask Le'er to help out there." , Earn some travel expenses!"

Sure enough, his bad premonition came true!
After he saw his mother-in-law fell in love with Chang Kele at first sight, he knew he couldn't escape.

"No need." Knowing that Qiao Bin was wary of the stranger, Chang Kele immediately waved his hands, "Thank you for your kindness, but—"

"I am a person who knows how to reciprocate. If you give me your seat, I should do you a favor!"

"It's really unnecessary, not to mention, I haven't done anything serious."

"Hehe, stop talking, Bin'er, is this the way to decide this matter?"

"……OK."

The mother-in-law is not only a good friend of his grandfather, but also a shareholder of the company, and has a strong friendship with him, and she has to sell her favor in terms of affection and reason!
Looks like he'll have to ask his henchman to keep an eye on her in the dark.

Hearing his reluctance, Chang Kele wanted to refuse again, "Ada, I—"

While she does need work, she doesn't want to push others.

"Okay, okay! I trust you, Bin'er will trust anyone I can trust, don't worry!"

"Miss Chang, please don't refuse, just follow Ada's wishes and come to work at my house, okay?"

Now that Ada said so, Qiao Bin had no choice but to stand on her side and persuade Chang Kele together.

"Okay! That's the decision! Come on, Le'er, I'll take you to Qiao's house! You can't go there without taking a car!"

"Yes." It's not good to refuse the kindness of others, she said with a smile, she wanted to pick up the luggage, but her big hands got there first.

"Let me do it!" Qiao Bin smiled thoughtfully.

His gentlemanly behavior warmed her heart.Although it was not that she had never met such a man, only Qiao Bin could make her heart flutter.

While carrying the luggage for Chang Kele, he ordered the driver to drive the car to the door of the department store so that his mother-in-law and Chang Kele could be taken to his home.

The driver's movements were extremely fast, and when the three of them arrived at the gate of the department store, a big shiny black car was already waiting there.

Chang Kele had to admire Qiao Bin's subordinates for their high efficiency, but he was the one she admired most.The work performance of subordinates often reflects the management ability of the boss. Only such managers can have such employees.

Before getting into the car, Chang Kele turned around, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao."

"You're welcome, Ada's friend is also my friend." Qiao Bin smiled.

"No, thank you anyway!"

When she was hungry, he invited her to eat; when she needed to make money, he offered a job opportunity.Although it may not be what he wanted, she is still very grateful to him. Being able to meet him is probably the biggest gain of her trip to Taiwan!
The spaciousness of the Qiao family mansion far exceeded Chang Kele's expectations.

Although the size of Qiao's No. [-] Department Store shows the wealth of the president, Qiao Bin, she is still surprised when she sees the huge Qiao's mansion.

"Hehe, you won't get lost after you get used to this place after a while!" The old woman patted Chang Kele's hand.

The old lady was a frequent visitor to Qiao's house, and the butler greeted her immediately when the car arrived in front of the house.

"Old butler, please take care of Le'er more in the future!" The old lady asked after introducing Chang Kele to the butler.

"It should." The butler bowed slightly. "Le'er, come on, let me take you to your room!"

After all, the butler walked ahead and led the two of them to the back of the house.

Chang Kele didn't expect that the servants lived in such beautiful rooms. Ever since she left the UK and embarked on a journey, she stayed in third-rate hotels. If she didn't have enough money, she would even sleep in the park. Her sleeping bag , is prepared for this.Therefore, when she suddenly saw such a comfortable and clean room, she couldn't get used to it.

"It's great here!" she said with a smile.

"Qiao's house has a lot of empty rooms, if you don't like this one, you can choose another one!"

In fact, the servant's room was not so good. It was the old woman who asked the housekeeper to give Chang Kele a good room.

"No, it's great here!" She was never greedy or insatiable.

"Le'er." The old woman approached and stroked her little face, showing her love and affection. "You can stay here with peace of mind until you earn enough travel expenses!"

"Ada..."

The two of them had just met, but her mother-in-law loved her so much, which warmed Chang Kele's heart.

"I have no children, my husband died young, and I have no relatives. When you stay here, you can be my granddaughter, okay?"

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course! You can call me mother-in-law from now on. I know you are not used to being called Ada."

Staring at her, the old woman seemed to recall some memories, and murmured in a low voice: "If Xin'er was still here, she would be as old as you."

Xiner?

Although the old woman's voice was very soft, Chang Kele still heard it.

Even though she had doubts, seeing her mother-in-law seemed to be recalling some bad memories, she swallowed the words on her lips.

Chang Kele hopes that during her stay, her mother-in-law's sadness and loneliness can be relieved a little bit.

Before she set off from England, she decided that in addition to seeing the beautiful scenery in the world so that she will have no regrets in this life, she also wants to do her best to help those who are destined during the journey.

She wanted to make her mother-in-law happy, and at the same time, she also wanted to make...

A slender male figure suddenly flashed across Chang Kele's mind, and a sense of anxiety hit her immediately.

Chang Kele's intuition told her that Qiao Bin, who always had a smile on his face, seemed to be hiding something that made him sad.

Qiao Bin helped her, so she should help him too.
