Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 228 Job Change


After bustling in the kitchen for more than half an hour, Chu Ge successively brought four dishes and a soup to the dining table. Qin Ruojing grabbed the bowls and chopsticks, serving rice to both herself and Chu Ge, and then sat next to Chu Ge at the dining table.

Ever since they started pretending to be a couple, it had always been Qin Ruojing who served Chu Ge's meals. Even now, with Qin Ruoying not around, they didn't need to keep up the act, but Qin Ruojing had already gotten used to it, with none of the initial awkwardness.

Looking at the table filled with a few deliciously fragrant home-cooked dishes, Qin Ruojing increasingly missed the days when Chu Ge stayed here. She even secretly hoped that Qin Ruoying could come over sooner, so she could enjoy Chu Ge's cooking every day.

"How's work going recently? Are you getting used to being the deputy department head?"

Out of habit, Qin Ruojing waited for Chu Ge to pick up his chopsticks first before she took a bite of the dish and asked.

"It's alright."

"Just alright? So things aren't going particularly smoothly? Have you thought about changing jobs?"

Hearing Qin Ruojing ask this, Chu Ge laughed and said, "You want me to be the general manager of a film company again?"

Seeing Chu Ge seem somewhat interested, Qin Ruojing nodded, "If you're willing, I have no objections. Besides, if you have any other ideas, feel free to let me know."

Seeing Qin Ruojing appear serious, Chu Ge couldn't help feeling a bit tempted, putting his chopsticks down on the table.

In fact, Chu Ge had really thought about this issue. Although the office atmosphere was nice, everyone got along like friends besides being colleagues, but because of Xia Feifei and Mo Xiaoran's relationships, he truly felt a bit awkward recently.

Chu Ge wasn't at all naive; he could tell that both Xia Feifei and Mo Xiaoran were interested in him. And not just them, several other girls occasionally glanced at him.

Admittedly, both Xia Feifei and Mo Xiaoran were good girls, ideal girlfriend types. But precisely because of this, Chu Ge didn't want to get too involved with them, as he really couldn't offer them anything.

Unfortunately, even though he always treated these two girls with a cold approach, it seemed to have no effect at all. The feelings these two girls had for him clearly hadn't faded one bit.

Initially, Chu Ge had been pondering whether to discuss his job transfer with Qin Ruojing; today Qin Ruojing brought it up proactively, which was perfect timing.

"Forget about being the general manager of a film company; I'm inherently not cut out to be an executive. Do you have any leisurely, high-paying jobs that don't require much thinking to arrange for me?"

Upon hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing immediately laughed. An employee like Chu Ge was really one of a kind. Wasn't he dreaming a bit too much? If it were any other employee making such requests, they would certainly be facing termination.

However, in reality, Qin Ruojing had indeed tailored such a job for Chu Ge, and the job description was pretty much as he requested.

Though Qin Ruojing already had plans, she didn't reveal them immediately and helplessly asked, "Do you think there's such a good job in the world?"

Chu Ge smiled, "It's because I can't think of anything, so I'm asking you to help me figure it out. You're the chairwoman, so you must have more insight than me, right?"

Glaring at Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing chuckled, "Stop flattering me. If you're really considering changing jobs, how about becoming my personal driver?"

This decision wasn't a whim for Qin Ruojing. Ever since Chu Ge stopped staying overnight at her place, and she experienced insomnia for the first time, she'd been pondering this matter.

For any company chairperson, the most crucial requirement for a driver is trustworthiness, and Chu Ge undoubtedly met this requirement.

As for the relatively secondary aspect of driving skills, Qin Ruojing had personally experienced it while Chu Ge was driving. If speed was needed, he could be as fast as a race car; if steadiness was required, he could drive smoothly enough to let her sleep soundly.

Qin Ruojing had never had great sleep quality, and driving herself was quite dangerous. If Chu Ge agreed, she could frequently take naps in the car.

Moreover, given the special relationship between Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge, this arrangement would facilitate their frequent contact without worrying about what others might think upon seeing them.

As Qin Ruojing secretly anticipated, Chu Ge's eyes lit up. This job was really too fitting for him.

With this job, he could gradually fade from the view of Mo Xiaoran and Xia Feifei, and it wouldn't take long for these two girls to lose their attachment to him.

"Chairwoman, if you're serious, I have no problem with it."

Qin Ruojing nodded, "I'm certainly serious. How about this, you hand over your current work this afternoon, and for the deputy department head position in the Operation Management Department, if you have a suitable candidate in mind, you can recommend them to Tong Yaqi. If not, just leave it vacant for now. You can start as my driver tomorrow."

Having settled this matter, Chu Ge was relieved of a burden, and Qin Ruojing was equally in high spirits, marking a win-win situation.

After lunch, Chu Ge left a pile of plates and bowls for Qin Ruojing, grabbed his computer, and headed straight for the Tianjiao Building.

Although Chu Ge was not someone who was overly sentimental, stepping into the Operation Management Department's office this time, looking at the familiar faces in his view, and greeting Lu Gang, Feifei, and Mo Xiaoran as usual, he truly felt a bit uneasy inside.

After all, he had worked here for a while, and tomorrow he would no longer belong to this place.

Sitting at his desk, Chu Ge opened the drawer, took out some fish food, and fed the ornamental fish in the tank. As his fingers touched the aquarium, several brightly colored little fish swam up hurriedly.

After feeding the fish, Chu Ge used a small spray bottle to water the orchid on his desk, sniffing lightly and feeling a faint elegant fragrance.

Apart from feeding the fish and watering the plant, Chu Ge didn't do anything different from usual. He didn't want his colleagues to know that he was about to leave, hoping that this afternoon would be like any other, without any sad atmosphere lingering in the office.

Without a doubt, if the girls knew he was leaving, they would definitely shed a few tears.

While handling the work at hand, Chu Ge pondered over the candidate for the assistant manager position, wavering between Xia Feifei and Lu Gang.

Xia Feifei was warm-hearted, had outstanding image and temperament, and held a high position in the office. Every day she was the central figure of the "discussion group." If she called for something, others would surely give her face. Although she had a slight issue with being straightforward at times, if trained well, she could become the kind of leader who is savvy and composed.

On the other hand, Lu Gang was also a decent candidate. Since being set straight by Chu Ge once, he gradually respected him deeply and began imitating him in various aspects. He shed his previous effeminate manner and became much more broad-minded, no longer impulsive when dealing with matters.

After much thought, Chu Ge decided to let Xia Feifei be the assistant manager. After all, having a male and female pair of manager and assistant manager was more appropriate in many situations.

More importantly, it wasn't easy for a young woman like her; earning a little more could make life better, while Lu Gang's family was evidently well-off and didn't need the extra money.

After making his decision, Chu Ge went to knock on Ji Songtao's office door.

He wasn't telling others about his departure, but he had to inform Ji Songtao, given that he had some tasks needing handover, and Ji Songtao was his direct supervisor after all.

When Ji Songtao heard that Chu Ge was leaving, he was stunned and forgot that he was pouring tea for Chu Ge, letting the tea overflow onto the table without noticing.

It wasn't until Chu Ge took the teapot from his hand and poured him a cup of tea that Ji Songtao came back to his senses.

"Chu Ge, you... won't be coming tomorrow? Why... so suddenly?"

"Why the face? I'm just changing jobs, going to drive for the chairman, not leaving Tianjiao."

"Driving for the chairman, that's good news. Congratulations."

Saying congratulations, Ji Songtao felt quite uneasy inside.

Although because of Chu Ge's presence, his so-called main manager position became less significant, and everyone in the office had gotten used to centering around Chu Ge, he never resented Chu Ge; instead, he felt this was quite good.

Ji Songtao was very aware that if not for Chu Ge, how could the Operation Management Department have been so proud within the company time after time?

Simultaneously, for Ji Songtao, the news was both sudden and not so sudden.

After all, Chu Ge was too dazzling, and both the Operation Management Department and even Tianjiao Film and Television were too small of a shrine for him. He had long anticipated that this day would come.

After asking Ji Songtao to temporarily keep it a secret and discussing the handover work, he finally talked with him about recommending Xia Feifei as the assistant manager.

Normally, since Chu Ge was leaving, who would take the assistant manager position should have nothing to do with him. If he interfered, it would obviously seem like overreaching.

This was exactly why Qin Ruojing had asked him to go and discuss it with Tong Yaqi directly instead of discussing it with Ji Songtao.

However, Ji Songtao had no dissatisfaction with this matter, neither verbally nor internally.

Because he had long since gotten used to letting Chu Ge be in charge of everything, he even subconsciously believed that Chu Ge would never make a wrong decision.

More importantly, in his view, the relationship between him and Chu Ge was not just that of colleagues, but friends.

Chu Ge's willingness to be open about this matter and honestly consult him meant that he didn't see him as an outsider and truly considered him a friend, just as he regarded Chu Ge.

After finishing the conversation with Ji Songtao, Chu Ge stepped out of the Operation Management Department and headed to Tong Yaqi's office door.
