Chapter 20 Almighty?
In the morning, Liu Shang was asked to stay and participate in the technical discussion meeting. At noon, he ate in the company's cafeteria, which served a buffet-style lunch. The food was very good.
Since he didn't have his own workstation or computer yet, he left work early after completing the onboarding process in the HR department in the afternoon.
Starting the next day, he would officially be at work.
Although it was the weekend, the company was in its busiest period, so the technical and production departments had to work overtime as usual.
After walking out of the company's office building, Liu Shang noticed a golden, champagne-colored BMW 7 Series struggling to reverse into a parking space, repeatedly maneuvering back and forth without success.
In the driver's seat of the BMW was a pretty girl about his age, but at first glance, she had the rebellious, cool air of a second-generation rich kid.
Since he was in a good mood, Liu Shang subconsciously walked over and asked, "Do you need help?"
At that moment, the person sitting in the driver's seat was a distraught Song Jia.
After her father had finalized Liu Shang's salary and position, Song Jia's previously clear mood had suddenly turned gloomy.
She couldn't eat her fruit anymore, and the computer games were no longer fun. She could only go out to practice driving while wracking her brain for a solution to this problem.
Song Guangyuan doted on his precious daughter; the BMW 7 Series, worth over one million yuan, was what he gave Song Jia to practice with. As long as his precious daughter was happy, that's all that mattered.
After fiddling with the car for over an hour, Song Jia, still unable to think of a good solution, felt a little tired and bored. She decided to park the car and leave the company to relax with some friends.
But at that exact moment, she suddenly saw Liu Shang walking out of the office building alone.
And through the rearview mirror, it seemed his eyes were looking in her direction.
Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, Song Jia, who had always been fearless, felt a sudden fluster.
As a result, her parking, which was usually proficient, became clumsy. No matter what she did, she couldn't get the car into the space smoothly.
And the more anxious and flustered she became, the more outrageous her maneuvers were.
Until Liu Shang took the initiative to speak to her, Song Jia, who was about to go crazy, finally slammed on the brakes and gave up on trying to park.
"Do you need help?"
Looking at Liu Shang's lake-calm eyes and friendly smile, the quick-witted Song Jia thought for a moment, then turned off the car, opened the door, and got out.
"Ah, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened; I just suddenly couldn't park the car."
"Maybe I really do need your help."
After speaking, a slightly nervous Song Jia unexpectedly walked in a half-circle, ran around to the passenger's side, and got in.
It wasn't until she sat down and closed the car door that she suddenly realized: *He's just helping me park the car, why did I get in the passenger seat? I could have just waited outside!*
Fortunately, Liu Shang, who was already sitting in the driver's seat next to her, was focusing all his attention on the BMW 7 Series and didn't notice the faint, embarrassed blush on Song Jia's face.
At this moment, Song Jia let out a sigh of relief and then continued to comfort herself internally.
*Well, forget it. A stupid move is a stupid move. As long as I can figure this Liu Shang out, it's worth it.*
*I'm doing this for Tan Feng and the others! It's all because of those hateful guys. Otherwise, why would I be afraid of seeing Liu Shang, and why would I do something so embarrassing just because I was nervous?*
This BMW 7 Series was a purely imported car that used push-button start technology.
In Song Jia's mind, even if Liu Shang had driving experience, at his age and with his very ordinary family background, he probably wouldn't be able to start the car smoothly. In this way, she could see if this guy was always as calm and terrifying as he had been in the meeting room.
It was a pity that Song Jia's little trick was doomed to fail miserably.
In his previous life, Liu Shang had lived abroad for seven or eight years, and so-called luxury car brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz weren't nearly as rare there as they were in China. And when it came to the development of automobile technology, what Liu Shang had seen was far more advanced than the current models.
After Liu Shang sat in the driver's seat, the reason he seemed to be studying it with interest was that he was mentally comparing it to the automotive technology he was used to.
"Um, don't you know how to start this car?"
Just as Song Jia asked this "understanding" question to the slightly pensive Liu Shang, he smiled at her.
Then he started the car with complete ease, and with an unimaginable level of skill and precision, he guided the car into the parking space and parked it perfectly.
This scene completely shocked Song Jia, so much so that she forgot to open the door and get out of the car with him.
After taking a look at the perfectly parked car, Liu Shang nodded, then gave Song Jia a casual wave, turned, and left.
Song Jia was left standing alone beside the car in a daze.
*This guy! How is he so good at driving?*
*Is he almighty?!*
Neither Song Jia nor Liu Shang noticed that the entire process was watched by Song Guangyuan, who was standing by the window on the third floor.
When he saw Liu Shang leave so freely while his precious daughter was still staring dazedly in the direction he had gone, Song Guangyuan frowned deeply, a worried look quietly appearing in his eyes.
A few minutes later, an upset Song Jia walked into her father's office.
"Dad, it's so boring at the company. Have Xiao Wu give me a ride. I'm going to go hang out with my friends."
"Huh? Jiajia, why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"
"Weren't you looking forward to coming to the company to play with the car?"
Facing her father's concern, Song Jia flopped down on the sofa. "Ugh, anyway, I'm just not in a good mood right now."
"Dad! Don't ask me!"
Seeing his daughter like this, Song Guangyuan became even more suspicious.
"Hehe, by the way, Jiajia, you must have seen that Liu Shang who came to apply for a job today."
"He's also at your university, in the same grade as you. Did you know each other from school?"
Suddenly hearing her father's question, Song Jia subconsciously froze for a moment, then shook her head a little too emphatically. "I don't know him."
This behavior couldn't be concealed from the shrewd Song Guangyuan, who, after a lifetime in the business world, was like an old fox.
And with that, an ominous premonition and a sense of crisis surfaced in his heart.
