The PPT on the computer screen was being written at a terrifying speed.
It flowed like mercury spilling on the ground.
Whoosh whoosh!
What shocked Xia Ning even more was that this PPT was not just random typing to fill up the word count.
The choice of fonts and color combinations was very reasonable.
Moreover, it followed the four principles of PPT - contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. All were done very well.
Far from just simple stacking of content.
Layer by layer refining, reflecting logic, clear relationships, rich materials, beautiful layout.
...
Xia Ning watched Qin Xun's performance, the shocked expression on her cold and beautiful face became thicker and thicker.
She looked as if she had seen a ghost!
Unknowingly, fifteen minutes passed.
A 30+ page PPT was completed!
Qin Xun stopped, emailed it to Cheng Wan.
Only then did Xia Ning come back to her senses, somewhat incoherently said:
"You... you did... that... Don't you want to check it first?"
Qin Xun picked up his right hand and blew on it, like a cowboy blowing his gun after just killing a bull.
"You get what you pay for. For 2,000 yuan, this is the quality you can expect."
"Inspection?"
"No way!"
Xia Ning was shocked.
Could it be...if he was paid more, he could demonstrate even more terrifying work capabilities?
After a moment of silence, Xia Ning looked straight into Qin Xuan's eyes and asked earnestly:
"How did you finish so quickly? I don't understand!"
"It's nothing, just keeping a low profile."
Qin Xun waved his hand dismissively, a carefree smile on his face, and explained:
"The more you slack off, the better your mood becomes. The better your mood, the higher your efficiency. The higher your efficiency, the more work gets done."
He turned to look at Xia Ning.
"So, the more you slack off, the more work gets done!"
"Do you understand?"
Xia Ning was stunned, feeling like his brain wasn't enough.
"I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qin Xun pack up his things and stand up.
"Xia Ning, I have some things to take care of, I'm heading out first."
"I'll teach you more slacking off techniques tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
Watching his retreating figure, Xia Ning fell into deep thought.
More techniques?!
So will we meet again tomorrow...
Not long after, Cheng Wan saw that only Xia Ning was left in the office. She hurried over to Xia Ning's side, all smiles.
"Boss Xia, how are you feeling today?"
"Isn't the company full of vigor, looking positive and driven?"
"No one's slacking off!"
As she spoke, she pointed at Qin Xun's desk.
"Boss Xia, I think you should keep an eye on this young man. I'm especially optimistic about him - diligent, earnest, great work skills, enduring, compliant no matter the task."
"He voluntarily works overtime for half an hour every day."
"I suggest...after he passes his probation, his salary can be raised to around 5,000 yuan."
Xia Ning looked up at the beaming Cheng Wan, his temple pulsing.
Diligent?
Earnest?
Enduring and compliant?
Voluntarily working overtime?
He only works half an hour a day, okay?!!!
No, just over ten minutes!
Only over ten minutes!
Xia Ning tidied up his things and walked expressionlessly out of the office.
"This Qin Xun, I...need to observe him more."
Watching Xia Ning walk out the door, Cheng Wan was a bit puzzled and murmured:
"What else is there to observe?"
Just then, Xia Ning turned around at the doorway.
"Cheng Wan, first thing tomorrow morning when you get to work, convert Qin Xun to a formal employee, with a salary of...10,000 yuan."
Cheng Wan was shocked.
That fast?
And directly 10,000?
I only get 20,000?!
Did this Qin Xun brat use his charms on Xia Ning?!!!
Xia Ning ignored the stunned Cheng Wan. His tone was cold as he instructed:
"Assign Qin Xun a difficult task tomorrow."
Having said that, she left.
It took Cheng Wan a good while to regain her composure. She shook her head with a laugh:
"Could it be this brat Qin Xun will skip decades of struggle?"
"Looks like I'll have to be extra nice to him from now on."
She slowly walked towards the exit.
"What difficult task can a planning assistant take on anyway?"
"Might as well give him a planner's job?"
Underground parking garage.
Xia Ning got into a red sports car.
With sunglasses on, she cared for no one.
The already high-end and beautiful sports car seemed to go up another notch when she sat in it.
Driving onto the road, she stepped on the accelerator.
"With a pay of 2,000, I expect work worth 2,000. I'm giving you 10,000. Let's see what you can accomplish tomorrow!"
Suddenly, she saw an electric delivery vehicle zoom past her. It was a delivery vehicle from Meiyuan Takeaway.
However, the person on it...the silhouette looked somewhat like Qin Xun!
Xia Ning shook her head.
"A person who slacks off at his job, how can I expect him to take on a side gig for extra money after work?"
In the distance, Qin Xun on the electric vehicle had a gleeful smile, humming a tune.
"La la la, la la la!"
"I'm a handy delivery man!"
"Sending meat buns before dusk."
"Slacking and napping as I go."
"Deliveries are so fun today!"
"Two hundred bucks gets you two clowns!"
So out of tune, horrid singing!
...
The next day.
Xia Ning got up extra early, energetic as she drove her sports car to work. But she got rear-ended on the way, delaying her for some time.
By the time she arrived at the company, she was late!
Xia Ning walked in with her head lowered like a schoolkid who did something wrong.
As soon as she entered, through the transparent glass wall of the conference room, she saw over 30 colleagues inside for the morning meeting.
Qin Xun was standing in front, gesticulating as he spoke.
She hesitated briefly before tiptoeing inside. Noticing quite a few people glancing over, her face grew hot as she slowly made her way to the front and stood next to Cheng Wan.
Cheng Wan looked over but didn't dare say anything.
Xia Ning had an awkward yet polite smile on her face.
She looked ahead.
On the projection screen at the very front, the meeting topic was written in bold:
[The Company is My Family, Maintaining it Depends on Everyone]
Qin Xun was wrapping up his speech at the front.
"I know my voluntary overtime after work every day has drawn some criticism from colleagues."
"Like I'm being a complete fool!"
"However, I'm just an intern. I'm still young. Spending some time at the company now to improve my skills and increase my value is a wonderful thing."
"I'm deeply grateful that Oak Tree Company has provided me a platform to grow."
"I will work hard for the company with an owner mentality, fulfilling my duties responsibly."
His tone elevated emotionally as he spoke fervently:
"If the Earth doesn't explode, I won't take time off!"
"The company is my family, I'll love it every day!"
In the conference room, Cheng Wan led the applause.
"Well said!"
She was very satisfied. Not only did Qin Xun make good slides, his presentation skills were also top-notch.
She really didn't judge him wrong!
Next, her gaze swept over the people standing in the conference room.
Gradually, enthusiastic applause broke out.
Everyone felt like they were forced into prostitution.
Xia Ning watched Qin Xun at the front giving a slight bow in thanks, mouth agape.
How could such positively energizing words come out of his mouth?
How can this person be so shameless?!
If Qin Xun was placed in an ancient imperial palace, he would definitely rise to become an all-powerful emperor!
The applause gradually died down.
Qin Xun walked down from the front and saw the late Xia Ning. He slowly went over to her and grabbed her hand.
Xia Ning was shocked, staring into Qin Xun's eyes.
Cheng Wan gawked in astonishment.
What are you doing?!
Did this brat really rely on his charms? Have they advanced to openly flaunting their affection?
