Despite the Operations Managent Departnt not making a big deal out of their victory and the Marketing Departnt keeping quiet about their loss, the news of the Operations Managent Departnt's triumph quickly spread throughout Tianjiao Film and Television Company.
Everyone's first reaction to this news was disbelief; it was simply ridiculous.
After all, in everyone's eyes, the Operations Managent Departnt had only three n: one was fat, one effeminate, and one injured. How could they possibly defeat the heavily staffed, championship-favorite Marketing Departnt?
How unbelievable was this? Even after confirming several tis, it was still hard to accept.
However, facts are facts, and no matter how hard it was to accept, they had to accept it.
Driven by curiosity and amusent, so people began visiting the offices of both the Marketing and Operations Managent Departnts to verify firsthand.
Those who entered the Marketing Departnt imdiately felt a gloomy atmosphere, faced with looks of annoyance and impatience. After a few visitors, the Marketing Departnt even locked their door from the inside.
Others who went into the Operations Managent Office saw faces showing a little pride, trying to stay modest, yet failing to hide their excitent.
And then, they received results that were simply unimaginable, despite repeated confirmations, they still found hard to believe.
Was it really true that the Marketing Departnt, set to win the company's internal championship without a doubt, actually lost?
And by just one point, they lost to the Operations Managent Departnt, which everyone considered an easy target?
Damn, is there any justice left? How could this be?
When people found out the cause of this result was a single person's entry—a person who hadn't been at the company long, nad Chu Ge—Tianjiao Film and Television was thoroughly abuzz.
After the incident of buying dicine for Hong Zude, the director of the Municipal Broadcasting Bureau, Chu Ge once again beca the focal point at Tianjiao Film and Television.
Defeating the strong as the weak has always been a topic people love to discuss, and it was hard for Chu Ge not to attract attention as the key to this victory.
If so people didn't know Chu Ge before, the mont he left the venue with a dozen roughneck guys, he beca completely famous. This ti, Chu Ge practically beca a legend!
In Tianjiao Film and Television, so might not even know the chairperson of Tianjiao Group is nad Qin Ruojing, but the na Chu Ge suddenly beca known to everyone.
As this news swept through Tianjiao Film and Television like a typhoon, two actresses from the Art Departnt walked into the Operations Managent Office.
The new arrivals were two stylishly dressed, well-built young won, who, upon entering the departnt, asked, "Is Vice Minister Chu here?"
Though they were asking for Chu Ge, everyone in the departnt felt a sense of pride. Lu Gang quickly pointed out Chu Ge's direction to the girls.
The two girls thanked him and then looked at Chu Ge with smiles, walking over toward him.
"Hello Vice Minister Chu, we're from the Art Departnt. There's so material your departnt helped print for us earlier that we don't quite understand. Could you help explain it?"
One girl in a light purple dress, smiling brightly, took out so printed material, studying Chu Ge with keen interest while handing the materials to him.
Chu Ge smiled and nodded, took the materials, glanced at them, but didn't find anything wrong.
"What part don't you understand?"
"Right here." The other actress moved closer to Chu Ge, pointing to a section on the material.
After Chu Ge explained, the two actresses imdiately looked enlightened, sweetly saying "thank you," but showed no intention of leaving, staying by Chu Ge's side, and started asking other questions.
Besides work-related topics, they occasionally inquired about personal matters in Chu Ge's life.
After chatting for a bit, Chu Ge finally realized that the girls were obviously there just to see him under another pretext.
After half a day of chatting, the two girls finally left with smiles, giving Chu Ge a playful wink as they exited.
"Vice Minister Chu, quite popular, huh?"
Once the two girls left, a girl from the Operations Managent Departnt teased.
Chu Ge chuckled nonchalantly. Just as he was about to speak, three girls from the Legal Departnt entered, their eyes, like the previous girls from the Art Departnt, imdiately settling on Chu Ge as soon as they walked in.
It had only been a morning, and the threshold of the Operation Managent Departnt office had already been worn down by the constant foot traffic.
People from various departnts were coming in an endless stream. The number of people coming in that morning was almost equal to the total since the departnt's inception.
Everyone wanted to see if this magical Vice Minister Chu really had three heads and six arms, how he was so aweso, and how he could lead such a weak team to defeat the Marketing Departnt, which had Chen Lei holding the fort.
And among this constant flow of people, naturally, the gossip-loving won were the majority.
At first, Feifei and the others felt quite proud and amused, but gradually, they started to feel uneasy.
In their eyes, the female employees from other departnts looked like they were about to swoop in and snatch Chu Ge away from them, with their eyes glowing.
It felt as if Chu Ge was covered in Tang monk's at, with just a whiff, one would feel refreshed, a touch could extend their life, and a bite could grant them immortality.
This...they couldn't stand for it!
Chu Ge belonged to the Operation Managent Departnt; he was theirs!
Unfortunately, even though the girls of the Operation Managent Departnt shared a common enemy and felt displeased, anyone who stepped into the departnt's threshold claid to be celebrating Operation Managent's victory, and no matter how much they couldn't stand it, they seemingly had to endure. After all, they couldn't really refuse to let people in and drive them out, could they?
In contrast to the girls' displeasure, Chu Ge honestly felt speechless and helpless.
Wasn't it just winning a basketball ga? Did these won from other departnts really need to look at him with such curious, gossip-laden eyes? Was it necessary to endlessly ask about his zodiac sign, blood type, and hobbies?
Chu Ge had been surrounded by won before, had been teased by them too, but... this was indeed the first ti he was surrounded by so many won all at once; the spectacle was indeed a bit overwhelming!
Finally making it to noon, Chu Ge almost fled the Tianjiao Building, found a restaurant far from it to have lunch, and only returned to the office close to one o'clock when he had no choice.
After the morning's events, Feifei and the others seized the lunch break to hold a small eting, unanimously deciding that things couldn't go on like this in the afternoon.
After the eting, Feifei and others quickly reached a consensus, under the guise of ensuring outsiders wouldn't affect Chu Ge's normal work but in truth not wanting "outsiders" to take advantage of their Vice Minister Chu. They decided to hide Chu Ge and declare him absent if anyone ca again.
Just like that, as soon as Chu Ge returned to the office, he was pushed into Ji Songtao's minister's office by Feifei and the others. Although Chu Ge found it quite amusing, he also thought it was a pretty good idea.
Chu Ge had so tea and chatted with Ji Songtao in the minister's office when Ji Songtao's phone suddenly rang, delivering news that left him unsure whether to be excited or amused.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the last basketball match of the internal competition of the film company; they didn't have to go because their opponents, the Planning Departnt, had forfeited.
This ant that the Operation Managent Departnt had muddled their way to becoming the basketball champion of Tianjiao Film and Television.
"Chu Ge, our opponents for tomorrow forfeited, and our Operation Managent Departnt is now the company's internal champion. Do you think we should hold another celebration tonight?"
After hanging up, Ji Songtao still felt like he was dreaming, chuckled foolishly for quite a while, and then turned his gaze to Chu Ge for his opinion.
Seeing Ji Songtao's excited expression, Chu Ge laughed, "Minister Ji, you're the leader, whatever you say goes."
"Then let's do it! I'll go get the champion's trophy and the prize money right now, and we'll use that money for a great feast tonight!"
Hearing Chu Ge's approval, Ji Songtao could no longer sit still, turned around, and went out to deliver the news, then went to Tong Yaqi's office to retrieve a delicate champion trophy and a ten thousand yuan prize.
When Ji Songtao left Tong Yaqi's office, a look of disappointnt appeared on Tong Yaqi's face. She had thought it would be Chu Ge coming to get the trophy and prize, so she could take this opportunity to chat with him, but her hopes were in vain.
When Ji Songtao returned to the office, he imdiately placed the trophy in a very prominent place, slapped the ten thousand yuan prize on the table, and then enthusiastically discussed with everyone where to hold the celebration that evening.
While everyone was focused on the celebration, Chu Ge sent a text ssage to Qin Ruojing, telling her he'd be ho late. As the ti and place of the celebration were finalized and after chatting a little about the basketball match, unknowingly, the end of the workday arrived.
When Chu Ge walked out of the Tianjiao Building with a group of highly exhilarated colleagues, they were t by a man with a somber face holding a basketball, the Minister of the Marketing Departnt, Chen Lei.
Judging by his stance, it was clear he had been waiting there for a while.
"Vice Minister Chu, do you have a mont?"
Chen Lei approached with big strides, eting Chu Ge's gaze.
