Chapter 005 Apollo, the Sun God
Looking for a computer with QQ software?
The elites in the conference room looked at each other in confusion, none of them could guess why Victoria suddenly made this request.
In foreign countries, QQ is not as popular as in Huaxia, and many people haven’t even heard of it. Finally, after great effort, one of Victoria’s secretaries managed to download and install the English version of QQ.
Victoria didn’t care how the people present viewed her. She carried the computer back to her private office, opened the software’s dialog box, and immediately sent a video invitation to Su Rui!
Seeing Victoria’s quick response, Su Rui smiled slightly and accepted the video invitation.
This old computer didn’t have a camera, so the other party couldn’t see him anyway.
When Victoria’s beautiful face appeared on the screen, Su Rui suddenly felt his throat becoming dry. This hot girl, after not seeing her for a while, how had she become even more alluring?
“Apollo, where are you?”
As soon as the video connected, Victoria asked eagerly!
Apollo?
The secretary standing nearby was stunned hearing this name. It was rarely used in modern society because Apollo was the name of the sun god in ancient Greek mythology!
Most importantly, having followed Victoria for so long, the secretary had never heard this proud woman use honorifics with anyone. She generally never held ordinary people in high regard! This was too incredible!
“I’ve returned to Huaxia.” In the office, Su Rui couldn’t use voice, so he could only listen through headphones and then type text replies.
Victoria’s expression instantly became more passionate, her breathing quickened: “Back to Huaxia? Then I’ll come find you right now!”
“Don’t come. I haven’t told anyone about my return to Huaxia. You’re the only one who knows.” Su Rui’s text seemed to convey a faint tone: “I’m resting for a while and don’t want those guys to know. You need to keep it secret for me.”
“It’s my honor to serve you!” Victoria became 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 that he reappeared and contacted her first, how could she not be happy!
And their exclusive communication method was actually QQ software, something no one else would have thought of!
“Don’t be so formal. I told you, we are friends.” Su Rui said somewhat awkwardly. During that adventure in the Americas, he had been naked with this woman and they almost rolled around together. If they weren’t friends, then what were they? Sex buddies? That didn’t seem quite right either.
Hearing Su Rui say this, Victoria relaxed. She knew Apollo was still the same Apollo; he hadn’t changed. Since he said they were friends, if she remained too formal, he would be unhappy.
“So what are you doing now?”
Su Rui hesitated for a moment, but still answered: “I’m working at Bikan Pharmaceuticals in Huaxia. You should have heard of this company.”
Victoria was very interested: “Working at a company? How much are they paying you? A million per day? No, even a million per day probably couldn’t hire you!”
Su Rui smiled bitterly: “Three thousand per month. Huaxia currency.”
“My God!” Victoria felt her worldview was being completely overturned. The mighty Apollo, sun god of the Western dark world, was actually working at an ordinary company for only three thousand a month! This… how was this possible?
Sensing some possibility, Victoria’s heart suddenly became passionate: “Apollo, if you’re willing, the Royal British Military Industry Group would like to hire you as a special advisor. Three million per day, no, five million. What do you think?”
“Victoria, are you trying to poach me?” Su Rui laughed: “I’m coming to you for help this time, it’s an urgent matter.”
“Tell me quickly. If I can do it, I’ll do it to the best of my ability. If I can’t, I’ll still try my hardest!” The sun god Apollo rarely asked others for help, so having such an important figure owe her a favor was extremely valuable for Victoria.
“It’s not that difficult. I just want you to find a medical company to purchase some medicines or medical devices from Bikan. Not much, just one million Huaxia currency. I’ll owe you this money first.”
“Just one million? That’s so simple?” Victoria found it hard to believe. She never imagined that Su Rui’s “help” would only be purchasing one million worth of medicine! That’s just over a hundred thousand euros!
For Victoria, this was truly nothing!
“It’s that simple.”
“Good, I’ll arrange it within two hours.” After closing the video call, Victoria immediately began making arrangements. This mere one million was just pocket change for someone of her wealth.
Su Rui smiled slightly, Lin Aoxue’s exquisite face appearing in his mind again. He thought, once I complete this million-yuan order, let’s see what you have to say! I’ll definitely make you take off your skirt and spank you!
Having completed with one video call what would take others a year, Su Rui had nothing to do and began watching a movie. It was Hollywood’s new Oscar-winning actress Toni Randall’s new film “Metropolitan Phantom,” touted as the sexiest movie of the year, just released in American theaters yesterday.
“Are you the newcomer? Instead of working properly, you dare to watch movies during work hours? You’re affecting the whole team’s performance. I’ll hold you responsible!” At this moment, an angry male voice sounded.
Su Rui turned around and saw a slightly chubby man who appeared to be around thirty, with a fair complexion and wearing glasses.
Seeing this person, Su Rui frowned: “Are you the leader of Business Group One, Cao Tianping?”
“How do you know me?” Cao Tianping had just been rebuffed by a rude major client and was full of anger. Seeing the new team member casually watching a movie, his anger grew even more intense!
“Come on, brother, your photo is on the wall.” Su Rui pointed to the sign on the wall.
Cao Tianping was speechless. A new team member was already riding roughshod over him. Did he still want to work here?
“Since you’ve joined this company, you should know that the company doesn’t allow any entertainment activities during work hours! Watching movies like this is wrong!”
Cao Tianping glanced at Su Rui’s screen: “You shouldn’t be watching… My God, is that ‘Metropolitan Phantom’? It just premiered in America yesterday! It won’t be released in Huaxia for another week! You already got it? Oh my, and it’s in high definition!”
Group Leader Cao Tianping instantly became excited, repeatedly shaking Su Rui’s shoulders: “Do you know, I’m a die-hard fan of Toni Randall! I’m the president of the Ninghai fan club! Every time Randall comes to Huaxia, I go to meet her at the airport! Quick, tell me, how did you get this movie?”
Su Rui thought to himself, brother, your mood swings are too dramatic. Just a moment ago you were all dark clouds, and instantly you’re all sunshine. This is like riding a roller coaster.
“This is her…” Su Rui paused, thinking he couldn’t tell the truth, so he said: “A friend of mine used to work at Toni Randall’s agency. He secretly sent it to me for a sneak peek. It’s supposedly the uncut version.”
“Uncut version?” Cao Tianping instantly became so excited that his blood pressure rose and his hands turned cold!
This film, touted as the sexiest and most alluring of the year, naturally had some hot and passionate scenes. These scenes couldn’t pass the Huaxia film department’s review. To be released, they had to be cut, which made Huaxia’s Randall fans sigh in disappointment. Many revealing scenes were removed, and the plot was also affected.
And Su Rui could actually get the uncut version, which drove Cao Tianping crazy!
People who don’t follow celebrities find it hard to understand such fanaticism, but Su Rui understood because he was also a fan – a narcissistic fan of himself as the biggest star.
However, it was really incomprehensible that Cao Tianping, a man over thirty and still single, could be such a fanatic.
“Well… Su Rui… hehe.” Cao Tianping sat down, rubbing his hands, somewhat embarrassed: “Look, we just became colleagues. Why don’t we watch this movie together for a sneak peek?”
As he spoke, Cao Tianping kept glancing at the computer screen to get a glimpse.
“Well…” Su Rui promptly turned off the monitor, looking troubled: “Group Leader Cao, my friend specifically instructed me not to leak it.”
“Then I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, consider it a welcome. How about that?” Cao Tianping smiled ingratiatingly. For Toni Randall, this guy would do anything.
Su Rui felt a chill from the fat man’s gaze, forcing a smile: “Fine, let’s watch it together then.”
So the two sleazy men squeezed together, focusing intently on the Hollywood goddess on the computer screen.
Bikan headquarters’ marketing department only retained a few business groups, with the rest of the salespeople in subsidiary companies. Add to that those meeting clients or collecting payments, and that afternoon, only Cao Tianping and Su Rui were in the office.
Two hours later, Cao Tianping looked at the now-black screen with a face full of happiness and satisfaction: “Randall is truly my goddess. Even an angel descending from heaven couldn’t be better!”
Su Rui looked at his watch and subtly reminded: “Well, Group Leader Cao, about that dinner…”
“I’ll pay, of course I’ll pay! Su Rui, rest assured, from now on in Business Group One, if you need anything, just come to me. I’ve got your back!” Cao Tianping had been completely won over by Su Rui’s sugar-coated bombardment, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from the client.
“Group Leader Cao is truly a straightforward person!” Su Rui struck while the iron was hot: “Don’t worry, I’ll ask my friend to steal a few more signed photos of Toni Randall from the company for you in the future!”
“Really? That’s great!” Cao Tianping was so excited he almost hugged and kissed Su Rui!
Su Rui quickly dodged with a disgusted expression. Fortunately, he hadn’t mentioned being able to get Toni Randall’s personal slip dress or something similar, otherwise this aging celebrity fan would have gone completely crazy!
