Thunderbolt Entertainment Group’s charity gala dinner would be held at Benin City’s Sports Complex on the evening of the coming Saturday. REG had started decorating the complex a few days earlier.
Rosiley took Xiao Xu to the complex to take videos of their preparatory work. She wanted to cover the progress of this charity gala dinner for the netizens.
By the time they reached the sports complex, the basic framework of the stage had already been erected. It was very big.
Although it was now only a simple stage, she believed it would be adorned with glamorous lights on the evening of the dinner. It would surely look extraordinarily splendid and spectacular.
The workers were doing their preparatory work in an orderly manner. Rosiley and Xiao Xu were unwilling to disturb them too much. They only asked a few questions, and then took videos of the scene.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the sports complex. Someone shouted, “CEO Lu is here to inspect our work!” All the workers stopped work and quickly lined up. They all stood erect, like troops undergoing inspection at a parade.
Xiao Xu was quite flabbergasted. He whispered in Rosiley’ss ear, “sister Rosiley, don’t you think it a little too exaggerated?”
Rosiley nodded. “It is indeed.”
“I feel that too.”
While they were whispering in each other’s ears, the tall figure of Sachin appeared in everyone’s sights.
He was escorted by a group of people, his expression as phlegmatic as ever.
He glanced impassively at the stage that had been erected, then turned his head sideways to speak to a man beside him. That man started to bow and nod in deep reverence.
Then, he saw the workers who were standing in a line. He frowned, a trace of displeasure hovering in his eyes.
“What are you all doing?” He asked in a deep voice.
A man standing behind him came forward with an obsequious smile on his face. He replied, “They are welcoming you, CEO Lu.”
Sachin squinted at him. “Manager Wang, how many years have you worked for Thunderbolt Entertainment Group?”
He sounded very calm and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Yet Manager Wang’s back was now covered with cold sweat.
Everyone in Thunderbolt Entertainment Group knew that their boss hated such fawning, hypocritical displays.
Manager Wang was a smart man most of the time, but right now, he was certainly being muddle-headed.
The others all looked at Manager Wang with sympathy.
“CEO Lu, I have been with Thunderbolt Entertainment Group for six years.” If one listened carefully, one could make out the quivering note in Manager Wang’s voice.
“six years?” Sachin raised his eyebrows. “That’s a long time, Manager Wang.”
His tone was a little cold.
Manager Wang was indeed smart. The moment he heard this, he immediately turned around and shouted to the workers standing in a line. “Get back to work now! Why are you standing there like fools?”
Upon hearing his voice, all the workers dispersed and went to do their duties. The lively bustle resumed again.
After that, Manager Wang spun around to face Sachin, admitting his mistake sincerely.
“CEO Lu, it was my work attitude this time. I accept criticism.”
“Forget it.” As his voice faded, Sachin walked to another spot.
Manager Wang knew that he was no longer in hot water. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then heaved a long sigh of relief.
Watching the scene quietly, Rosiley’s lips curled up, her crystalline eyes as clear as water.
Her Sachin was indeed a principled man.
“sister Rosiley, aren’t they just lining up to welcome CEO Lu? Must he get so angry?” Although Xiao Xu felt they were overdoing things, he also considered Sachin to have overreacted.
