Li Zhifeng's department was divided into several research and development teams, each responsible for a small project or a part of a larger one.
Li Zhifeng's team, including the team leader, consisted of six male members and ten female assistants.
Today was Monday, and 11:00 AM was the time for the team's weekly meeting.
Li Zhifeng followed Yang Yulan into the conference room, looking listless.
He found a seat and greeted Jiang Dong, who was sitting next to him.
"Li Bo, what's wrong today? You look down," Jiang Dong said. His left hand was under the table, fumbling with something, while his right hand tapped lightly on the table.
Liu Zixian, a beautiful female assistant, sat right next to Jiang Dong on his left. She was Jiang Dong's official assistant. Jiang Dong's title was deputy team leader, and according to company policy, he could have one official assistant and one intern assistant.
His intern assistant's name was Zhang Xue, and she was slightly less attractive than Liu Zixian. She was currently standing behind Jiang Dong.
In the conference room, interns weren't allowed to sit, so Yang Yulan could only stand behind Li Zhifeng.
Li Zhifeng was feeling down, but he still needed to respond when a colleague spoke to him.
He recalled that last week, Liu Zixian was standing behind Jiang Dong, just like Zhang Xue, wearing white stockings. This week, however, she had switched to flesh-colored stockings and was allowed to sit. It seemed the competition Jiang Dong had mentioned last week between his two interns for the official assistant positions had already yielded a result.
"Xiao Liu, congratulations on getting promoted," Li Zhifeng said, unsure how to respond to Jiang Dong, and using the opportunity to change the subject.
