"Sis Cheng, she's still young and ignorant. I didn't teach her well as her mentor."
Qin Xun gave an apologetic smile to Cheng Wan and pulled the dumbfounded Xia Ning to the back of the conference room.
He let go of her hand and whispered, "Xiao Xia, not only were you late, you dared to stand there?"
"Didn't you notice everyone standing there is company management?"
"What level are we? How could we stand with them?"
Xia Ning came to her senses and mocked, "What level are you? How could you be giving a presentation on stage?"
Hearing this, Qin Xun became a little unhappy and frowned slightly. "I don't know what got into Sis Cheng either. She suddenly came to me this morning, saying the company wants to focus on cultivating me, so she asked me to present the slides."
Xia Ning asked, "Isn't that good?"
Qin Xun shook his head and said solemnly, "Just trying to entice me without real rewards? Wanting me to be a workhorse?"
"No way!"
He emphasized, "Besides, we must not forget our original intention. Slacking off is the right path."
"I must teach you more slacking techniques today."
Xia Ning: "..."
She felt very helpless inside.
This guy is useless!
The company wants to cultivate him, yet he still thinks about slacking off?
However...he did pretty well at the meeting!
Able to present confidently on stage without preparation after being suddenly asked to speak - that's quite remarkable!
Not like someone who slacks off everyday could achieve that.
Xia Ning was thinking what job Cheng Wan should assign to Qin Xun.
Suddenly, she saw Qin Xun mysteriously pointing at the ceiling camera and laughing.
"From now on when we stand here, I've...taken care of that camera too!"
Xia Ning: "..."
The company's worm really has infiltrated everywhere!
...
The morning meeting continued.
Cheng Wan gave some motivational words on stage and concluded it.
"Please devote yourselves into intense, efficient work!"
"Meeting adjourned!"
Hearing it was over, Xia Ning turned to leave.
Staying by Qin Xun made her nauseous.
Thinking she still has to sit next to him later, she felt even more disgust.
Suddenly, she heard Qin Xun's voice behind her.
"Xiao Xia, wait!"
Xia Ning turned her head and looked at Qin Xun without saying anything.
Qin Xun saw Xia Ning was a bit unhappy but didn't indulge her.
"After everyone leaves, the lowest ranking company member has to return the conference room chairs and tables back."
Although she listened to him and changed her outfit style - white t-shirt with light blue jeans and sneakers.
No make up on her face.
Her whole vibe was a mix of youthfulness to maturity.
Like a mountain fruit transitioning from green to red in late summer, early fall.
It should taste sweet and sour.
But!
To him, Xia Ning was just a tool person that triggered his system mission and could bring a lottery draw chance. In his eyes, she was no different than a macaque on Emei Mountain!
Hearing Qin Xun's words, Xia Ning didn't say anything and nodded.
After everyone left the conference room, Qin Xun started working with Xia Ning.
The company conference room originally had 7 large square tables combined into a U-shape. They had to be moved aside for each meeting and put back afterwards.
Qin Xun had become very skilled in his 16 days.
"Xiao Xia, there's a buckle under the table to flip it over.
The gears underneath also have buckles to unlock so they move easily."
Qin Xun instructed while working on his own table.
Xia Ning listened obediently and picked it up quickly.
Soon, she could smoothly move the furniture.
Seeing Xia Ning working diligently moving tables and chairs, Qin Xun couldn't help but worry.
Could this girl be brainwashed by my nonsense at the meeting?
Does she really want to work hard now?
When will I ever finish my Slacking System lottery draw task then?
He brought up his system panel to check.
[Slacking Value: 1500 Note: Host can get 1 lottery draw at 10,000]
[Xia Ning's Slacking Value: 0 Note: She gets 1 draw at 200]
Looking at the data, Qin Xun's expression darkened.
The 1500 slacking points were painstakingly accumulated through half a month's hard slacking.
He still needed over 8000 more points for the next draw, probably taking another 3 months.
But Xia Ning only needed 200 points for him to draw.
Obviously much easier.
Yet she was still at 0 points!
She slacked the whole day yesterday but didn't improve one bit!
Suddenly, Qin Xun thought of the crux of the issue. He finished setting up a table and casually walked by Xia Ning.
"Xia Ning, you still haven't signed the employment contract, right?"
Xia Ning was startled and looked over at Qin Xun.
She felt a bit nervous.
Could he have seen through my identity as the company president?
Seeing Xia Ning's expression, Qin Xun affirmed his guess. He solemnly said,
"Xia Ning, as a professional worker, how could you not pay attention to your contract?"
"You must go to HR today to sign it!"
Xia Ning relaxed and nodded, nonchalantly saying, "Oh, okay, I got it!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Xun was elated and waved his hand. "You're welcome!"
I knew it!
How could you watch wild boar fights, lemon slicing, hydraulic press crushing lighters...slack so long yesterday yet not gain any slacking points!
Turns out you didn't sign the contract!
The two continued arranging the furniture.
Seeing Xia Ning move nimbly with a serious expression, like those obedient students doing homework in class, Qin Xun couldn't help but worry again. He suddenly asked,
"Xia Ning, do you still want to learn slacking?"
Hearing that, Xia Ning abruptly looked up and silently gazed at Qin Xun.
Qin Xun felt somewhat unnerved under her stare.
What's going on?
Suddenly, a radiant smile emerged on Xia Ning's face, brighter than the spring sun.
"I do!"
Qin Xun relaxed.
"Good!"
He pointed at a table with the air of a master mentor and earnestly taught:
"Actually, when arranging tables and chairs, if you do it earnestly, you'll finish quickly but tire easily."
"However, if you go slowly, it becomes precious leisure activity for the company."
He turned to look at Xia Ning's smiling face and grinned.
"I used to take 30 minutes every time."
Xia Ning's smile grew even wider.
She gazed at Qin Xun, still smiling without saying anything.
Qin Xun thought she was in awe of him and kept showing off.
"Also, go to the restroom 3 times a day, 20 minutes each.
"That's called getting paid to poop!"
Xia Ning beamed joyously.
"What else?"
Elated, Qin Xun continued:
"The company provides afternoon tea break on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can openly rest then, but it's only 30 minutes."
"But you can hold a cup of water - yes water, dang it the company doesn't provide milk tea, coffee, juice."
"Stand by the floor-to-ceiling window holding your water, gaze up at the sky at a 45 degree angle, put on a solemn, concerned look thinking about the country and people's plight. HR won't bother you if they see that."
"That's another 5 minutes."
Xia Ning smiled so wide her eyes became slits.
Faint fierce glints flashed within.
"What else?"
