Find a computer with QQ software?
The elites in the meeting room looked at each other, none of them could guess why Victoria suddenly made this request at this moment.
In foreign countries, the popularity of QQ is not as high as in China, and many people have never even heard of it. Finally, after a lot of effort, one of Victoria's secretaries managed to download and install the English version of QQ.
Victoria didn't care how the people present looked at her. She moved the computer back to her private office, opened the software's chat window, and directly sent a video call request to Su Rui!
Seeing Victoria's quick response, Su Rui smiled slightly and accepted the video call.
This broken computer didn't have a camera, so the other party couldn't see him anyway.
When Victoria's stunning beauty appeared on the screen, Su Rui suddenly felt his throat dry. This hot girl, how much more alluring had she become after just a short time apart?
"Apollo, where are you?"
As soon as the video call connected, Victoria immediately asked anxiously!
Apollo?
The secretary, who was standing nearby, was a bit stunned upon hearing this name. This name is rarely used in modern society because it is the name of the sun god in ancient Greek mythology!
Moreover, the most crucial point is that after following Victoria for so long, the secretary had never heard this proud woman use honorifics with anyone. She never even considered ordinary people! This was truly unbelievable!
"I'm back in China." In the office, Su Rui couldn't use voice, so he had to listen through headphones and then type his response.
Victoria's expression instantly became even more passionate, and her breathing quickened: "Back in China? Then I'll come to find you right now!"
"Don't come. I haven't told anyone about my return to China. You are the only one who knows." Su Rui's words seemed to carry a faint tone: "I need some time to rest and don't want those guys to know. You have to keep it a secret for me."
"I am honored to serve you!" Victoria was even more excited upon hearing this!
Because Victoria knew that the once radiant sun god Apollo had disappeared from the Western dark world for a long time. Now, he had reappeared and contacted her first. How could she not be happy!
Moreover, their exclusive communication method was QQ software, which no one would ever expect!
"Don't be so formal. I said we are friends." Su Rui said a bit awkwardly. During that adventure in America, they had almost rolled together naked. If they weren't friends, what were they? Bed buddies? That didn't seem quite right either.
Hearing Su Rui say this, Victoria relaxed. She knew that Apollo was still the same Apollo, he hadn't changed. Since he said they were friends, if she were too formal, he would be unhappy.
"What are you doing now?"
Su Rui hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I work at Bikon Pharmaceuticals in China. You should have heard of this company."
Victoria was very interested: "Working at a company? How much do they pay you? A million a day? No, I doubt even a million a day could get you to work there!"
Su Rui smiled bitterly: "Three thousand a month, in Chinese currency."
"Good heavens!" Victoria felt as if her worldview was about to be completely overturned. The sun god Apollo of the Western dark world was actually working at an ordinary company with a monthly salary of only three thousand yuan! How... how could this be possible?
Sensing a possibility, Victoria's heart suddenly became passionate: "Apollo, if you are willing, the Royal British Military Group is willing to hire you as a special consultant. Five million a day, how does that sound?"
"Victoria, are you trying to poach me?" Su Rui laughed: "I came to ask for your help, to get out of a bind."
"Tell me quickly. If I can do it, I will do it to the best of my ability. If I can't, I will try my best!" The sun god Apollo rarely asks for help, and for Victoria, getting such a big shot to owe her a favor was a great thing.
"It's not that difficult. I just want you to find a medical company to purchase some Bikon drugs or medical devices. Not much, one million Chinese yuan will do. Consider this as a debt I owe you."
"Only one million? That simple?" Victoria found it hard to believe. She never expected that Su Rui's request for "help" was just to purchase one million worth of drugs! That's only a few hundred thousand euros!
For Victoria, this was like a drizzle!
"It's that simple."
"Alright, I'll get it done within two hours." After ending the video call, Victoria immediately started making arrangements. This one million was just pocket money for her.
Su Rui smiled slightly, and Lin Aoxue's beautiful face appeared in his mind. He thought, once I complete this one million order, let's see what you have to say! I'll make you take off your skirt and spank you!
A video call completed what others would take a year to do. With nothing else to do, Su Rui started watching a movie. It was a new film by the new Hollywood actress Toni Landor, "Urban Phantom," which was touted as the sexiest movie of the year and had just been released in American theaters yesterday.
"Are you the new guy? Instead of working, you're watching a movie, affecting the whole team's performance. I will hold you accountable!"
At this moment, a man's voice, full of anger, sounded.
Su Rui turned his head and saw a slightly overweight man, around thirty years old, with a pale complexion and glasses.
Seeing this man, Su Rui sneered: "You're the team leader of Group One, Cao Tianping?"
"How do you know me?" Cao Tianping had just been rebuffed by a difficult client and was still fuming. Seeing the new team member watching a movie so casually, his anger intensified!
"Bro, there's your photo on the wall." Su Rui pointed to the sign on the wall.
Cao Tianping was speechless. A new team member was already overstepping, and he was still thinking about his career?
"Since you joined this company, you should know that no entertainment activities are allowed during working hours! Watching a movie is not right!"
Cao Tianping glanced at Su Rui's screen: "You shouldn't be watching... My God, is that 'Urban Phantom'? It just came out in America yesterday! It won't be available in China for another week! How did you get it? Oh, and it's in high definition!"
Cao Tianping, the team leader, instantly became excited and started shaking Su Rui's shoulders: "Do you know, I'm a die-hard fan of Toni Landor! I'm the leader of the Ninghai fan club! Every time Landor comes to China, I go to the airport to greet her! Tell me, how did you get this movie?"
Su Rui thought to himself, this guy's mood swings are too extreme. Just a moment ago, he was all gloomy, and now he's all sunshine and rainbows. It's like a roller coaster.
"This is from... " Su Rui paused, thinking he couldn't tell the truth, so he said: "A friend of mine used to work at Toni Landor's agency. He sent it to me secretly to try it out. It's said to be the uncut version."
"Uncut version?" Cao Tianping was instantly excited, his blood pressure rising and his hands turning cold!
This movie, touted as the sexiest and most alluring of the year, naturally has some spicy and passionate scenes. These scenes cannot pass the censorship of the Chinese film department, so they must be cut to be released. This has made Chinese Landor fans sigh in disappointment, as many revealing scenes have been cut, and the plot has been affected.
The fact that Su Rui could get the uncut version made Cao Tianping feel crazy!
People who don't chase stars can hardly understand the fanatical love for celebrities, but Su Rui understood it well because he was a narcissist who always considered himself the biggest star.
However, it was hard to understand why a man in his thirties, a leftover bachelor, could be so fanatical about chasing stars.
"Su Rui... hehe." Cao Tianping rubbed his hands and sat down, a bit embarrassed: "Look, we just became colleagues. How about we watch this movie together?"
As he spoke, Cao Tianping kept glancing at the computer screen, trying to get a fix.
"Um..." Su Rui shut off the monitor and looked troubled: "Team Leader Cao, my friend specifically told me not to share it."
"Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight, as a welcome. What do you think?" Cao Tianping smiled ingratiatingly, willing to do anything for Toni Landor.
Su Rui felt a chill from the fat man's gaze and forced a smile: "Alright, let's watch it together."
So, the two creepy men huddled together, staring intently at the Hollywood goddess on the computer screen.
The market department of Bikon's headquarters only retained a few business groups, with the rest of the salespeople in the subordinate branches. Plus, some were talking to clients, and others were collecting payments. For the entire afternoon, there were only Cao Tianping and Su Rui in the office.
Two hours later, Cao Tianping looked at the black screen, his face full of happiness and satisfaction: "Landor is truly my goddess, a celestial angel descended to earth!"
Su Rui glanced at his watch and subtly reminded him: "Team Leader Cao, what about dinner?"
"I'll treat you, I must treat you! Su Rui, rest assured, from now on, if you need anything in Group One, just come to me, I'll take care of you!" Cao Tianping had been completely won over by Su Rui's charm, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from the client.
"Team Leader Cao is a straightforward person!" Su Rui pressed his advantage: "Rest assured, I'll have my friend sneak a few signed photos of Toni Landor from the company for you!"
"Really? That's great!" Cao Tianping was so excited he almost hugged and kissed Su Rui!
Su Rui, with a look of disgust, quickly dodged. He was glad he didn't say he could get Toni Landor's intimate lingerie, or this middle-aged fan would have gone crazy!
