Chapter 831 - 830: Making Trouble

    <h4>Chapter 831: Chapter 830: Making Trouble</h4><h4></h4>


    After hearing what Shen Mingzhu had to say, the staff members who had originally thought her handling was too harsh all changed their minds.


    Indeed, the micrputers had been purchased, and everyone would be using them for work in the future.


    If you didn’t attend the training and were clueless about micrputers, how could you get any work done?


    Could it be that they were expected to hand-hold these untrained people?


    At that moment, Wen Xiaoqin stepped forward, "As the department leader, I also bear responsibility for the absence of five employees from the training. I will deeply reflect on myself and take a penalty notice as a warning and to set an example."


    Wen Xiaoqin’s statement was undoubtedly a show of support and endorsement for Shen Mingzhu’s decisions.


    If the head of the department acted like this, who below her would dare to say anything?


    Shen Mingzhu naturally understood Wen Xiaoqin’s thoughts.


    After briefly introducing Meng Xiaoyang’s identity and the uing training schedule to the employees, Shen Mingzhu found an empty seat, sat down, and began learning together with the staff, notebook in hand.


    The micrputers of that time,pared to theputers and smartphones twenty yearster, had significant differences in terms of functionality.


    Although Meng Xiaoyang was young, he was extremely proficient in his field and, coupled with his high attractiveness, the three-hour training session hardly felt dull.


    The training was over.


    Acting on the principle of a host, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to approach Meng Xiaoyang to express her gratitude and concern.


    "You’ve put in a lot of work tonight. Which hotel are you staying at? I can give you a ride on my way."


    Meng Xiaoyang wore a shy and surprised expression, "Ah, do I have to book a hotel myself? I thought you would arrange it for me, so I didn’t make a reservation."


    If Meng Xiaoyang were a client, food and amodation would naturally be covered by the food factory, but as Meng Xiaoyang was on a business trip, amodation should be his own responsibility.


    For this training, the food nt had advanced a fee of three thousand.


    Shen Mingzhu quickly responded, "Arranging amodations is not under my supervision, it might be an oversight by the administrative staff that it wasn’t properly arranged. No worries, I’ll take you to a hotel directly."


    "Then I’ll have to trouble Deputy Director Shen."


    Considering that Meng Xiaoyang was Lihua’s scion, who probably had high standards for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Shen Mingzhu drove him directly to the only star-rated hotel in Fengcheng.


    Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked that day.


    Looking for another hotel was an option, but it was already past ten o’clock.


    After much thought, Shen Mingzhu decided to let Meng Xiaoyang stay the night in an empty house on Zhong Street and have the administrative staff arrange amodation for him the next day.


    Meng Xiaoyang had no objections, "Sister Shen, as long as there’s a ce to sleep, I’m not picky."


    Being a young and handsome man with fair skin and apliant demeanor, he inadvertently had the soft charm of a "little puppy."


    As the old saying goes, beauty looks more spirited by the light of amp.


    Shen Mingzhu drove home, chatting pleasantly with Meng Xiaoyang.


    When they reached her house, she parked the car in the garage and then led Meng Xiaoyang to choose a room.


    Theyout of this courtyard was simr to hers, with two rooms on the first floor and three on the second floor, making a total of five rooms, all decorated as guest rooms but each with a distinct style.


    There were cozy home-style, modern minimalist, European luxury, and countryside pastoral designs.


    Meng Xiaoyang followed Shen Mingzhu around viewing the rooms, expressing amazement.


    "Sister Shen, you’ve put so much thought into decorating this house. It’s much more interesting than the hotels outside. I’ll stay here for a while."


    Worried that Shen Mingzhu would refuse, he quickly added, "I can pay rent."


    Shen Mingzhu smiled, "If you like it, you can stay. Anyway, this ce is also meant to amodate guests, and as long as you don’t mind, it’s fine."


    "Then it’s settled, thank you, Sister Shen."


    Considering that a rich young man like Meng Xiaoyang probablycked self-care capabilities, Shen Mingzhu found clean bedding and was ready to help make the bed, but Meng Xiaoyang politely refused:


    "Sister Shen, I can manage on my own. It’s gettingte, you should go home to rest. You’ve been through a lot of trouble today."


    Shen Mingzhu didn’t insist and left after giving her home contact information.


    Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, she bumped into Pei Yang.


    "Why are you here?"


    "I waited for a long time and didn’t see youe out, I thought you fell asleep over here."


    As Pei Yang spoke, his eyes nced towards the second floor, "Did you forget to turn off the lights upstairs?"


    While pushing him out, Shen Mingzhu said, "We have a guest."


    "Who is it?"


    "An engineer sent over by Lihua for training." After closing the courtyard gate, Shen Mingzhu turned around to go home.


    "Male or female?"


    Pei Yang asked out of habit while holding her hand.


    "Male."


    Pei Yang, with an incredulous tone, said, "Now you really don’t take me into consideration, you didn’t even give me a heads up and brought a man home to stay."


    Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes, "Well, I am telling you about it now."


    "How old?"


    Shen Mingzhu nced at the man and deliberately said, "Younger than you."


    Pei Yang scoffed, "Youngds without a single hair on their face can’t be relied on for serious matters; the young guys these days are the most unreliable, no patience, no endurance, and they can’t take hardship, unlike our times."


    Shen Mingzhuughed, "You haven’t even met the person and you’re already drawing conclusions?"


    "So what you mean is, I need to meet him in person, so let’s go back now and meet him."


    As he was about to pull her back, Shen Mingzhu tugged him to a stop.


    "Stop it, don’t you see what time it is? He’s probably already asleep."


    "You’re quite considerate of him," he said in a sour tone.


    "Is this considerate? I can be even more considerate, tomorrow morning I’ll ask Elder Sister Yu to prepare an extra breakfast and invite him over to eat at our ce."


    Seeing Pei Yang fuming as if smoke wasing out of his head, Shen Mingzhu couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle, "That’s enough now, any more acting and I’ll send you to make a movie."


    "Well, maybe I could even win an acting award or something."


    After a jest full of mockery, Pei Yang looked at her and asked, "You’re not really going to invite him to our house for a meal, are you?"


    "He is the young master of Lihua, and before the people from Lihua left, they asked me to take good care of him. I agreed. His lunch and dinner will be arranged by the food factory, so for breakfast, I’ll just have Elder Sister Yu prepare it and take it over to him."


    Pei Yang was satisfied, "That I can ept."


    But soon he thought of something else, "Did you twoe back together tonight?"


    "What else? Do you expect me to drive and let him take a cab over?"


    "So for the next half a month, you’ll be finishing work together and thening back together every day?"


    Before Shen Mingzhu could respond, he continued, "This won’t do, being in the melon field under the plum tree, it will give rise to rumors."


    Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "So from now on, you will be responsible for his transportation to and from work?"


    "That’s settled then, starting from tomorrow, after the training in the evening, I’lle to pick you guys up."


    Seeing that he was serious, Shen Mingzhu didn’t bother to say more. She was happy to let someone be a free chauffeur for her.


    The next day.


    Du Juan hadn’t been in the office long before she heard amotion from the HR department downstairs.


    Before she could go out to check, her assistant Mai Qiu ran in excitedly, "Deputy Director Shen fired five HR department employeesst night, and there’s a big fuss about it down there now."
