After talking to Moyun Feng for a while in a polite manner, Mengjie Zeng took me to my office.
The office was spacious and bright, which was far better than I expected.
I had just sat down and Moyun Feng came again. He said he was going to show me around the company.
I couldn’t turn him down directly, and I had to let him take me around the rest of the company. Then he finally took me to his office.
“Actually we’ve met a long time ago. It’s just that Nala you don’t remember me. We’ve met twice.”
He suddenly called me Nala, which made me a little uncomfortable.
My relationship with him was far from familiar enough that he could call me that.
“We’ve met?” I replied blandly.
“The first time we met was at President Hua’s wedding, which was your first appearance. You ran away with the groomsmen at the wedding.”
I didn’t speak.
“The second time we met was at my aunt’s birthday feast when you and my aunt had a little quarrel.”
In fact, both times he said this were the moment when I was most embarrassed, so I didn’t know what to say when he talked about it.
“I was there both times. It’s just that you didn’t notice me, so we’re sort of old acquaintances.” He said with a smile.
“Please tell me directly if Manger Feng has anything. It’s my first day on the job, and I was hoping Manger Feng would talk to me about work.” I interrupted his discussion about my personal topic.
“Oh, Nala you don’t need to ….”
“Manger Feng, I still want you to call me by my name directly. We are in company and we don’t know each other very well. It’s always weird when you call me Nala.” I interrupted him again.
I didn’t spend a lot of time with him, but I felt like I had already hated him. I wanted to end this conversation with him as soon as possible.
“Well, then it’s time for me to call you Director Yao. I’d like to ask Director Yao if you know anything about Hai City Telecom.” His grin faded a bit, and he was a bit angry that I didn’t give him face.
“Of course I know some. What does Manger Feng want to say?”
“Hai City Telecom is a subsidiary of the Hua Group, and although it sounds like a private enterprise of the Hua family, it is actually a listed company, not just of the Hua family. In fact, we, the Feng family, also have a large share.”
I replied coldly, “I come to work as a professional manager and don’t represent any party, so the equity structure of the company is none of my business, I just want to do my own job.”
Moyun Feng froze again, the look of discontent on his face even more obvious.
“Then I have to say something directly.” He said.
“Manger Feng should have said it directly at the beginning.” I replied coldly.
“Actually, I know something about you. The reason why Leon Hua would marry you was that he just use you as an excuse to reject Miss Chen. With what I know about him, he would never truly love a woman, he would just use her. After he used this woman, he will abandon her. Although you are now his nominal wife, he will abandon you sooner or later. There’s no way he’s going to like you.”
“Manger Feng is really getting more and more outrageous. I’m obviously here to talk to you about work, so why are you talking about my private life again?” I grew more and more impatient and stood straight up.
“I mean, although it looks like you are on Leon Hua’s side, you should actually be on my side. Leon Hua acted arrogantly, he couldn’t do great things. If you’re on his side, you’re out sooner or later. On my side, even if you fall out with him, I won’t treat you badly in the future. You know what Leon Hua has been in prison before, you shouldn’t rely on someone like that.”
This time I finally couldn’t help but rebut him.
“Manger Feng, I patiently listened to you for so long, only to realize that you’ve been talking a lot of nonsense. I am Leon Hua’s wife, and it is already rude of you to speak ill of my husband to my face. No matter what Leon has done to me, it’s my family matter and it has nothing to do with you. Please pay more attention to what you say and don’t let yourself be a joke.”
Then I slammed the door and walked out.
The colleagues in the company all looked at me when they saw me walk out of Moyun Feng’s office with a furious look on my face, but they all remained silent and no one talked to me.
I went back to my office and took a breath.
This Moyun Feng was so arrogant that he directly wanted me to choose which side to stand on, which could be seen how much influence the Feng family had in the Hua Group.
It was no wonder that Leon said that he must drive the Feng family out of the Hua Group.
I picked up the intercom phone and called Mengjie Zeng. I asked her if the time of the mid-level meeting in the sales department was set.
She said the meeting started on time at 2, 30 p. m. in the company’s conference room. In addition to staff based in faraway areas, people above the sales manager in the vicinity return to the company for meetings.
I went through the speeches that was prepared for the meeting again, and after making sure they were correct, I started looking through some papers.
I went to the company cafeteria at noon and found that the cafeteria here was not as good as the one at the headquarters, but it was not very bad.
I was surprised at how empty my surroundings were when I sat at the table and ate. Those other employees were far from me, as if I were the plague.
I didn’t think much of it either. I went back to work after dinner. After I took a nap in the office, I continued reading the paperwork.
At 2, 20 p. m. I walked into the conference room, and I was ready to attend my first meeting about sales department since taking office.
As a result, there were only three people in the room and most of the seats were empty.
I glanced at my watch and it was a few minutes before 2, 30. So I said hello to those who arrived first, and I sat down and waited.
I waited until 2, 30, the starting time, but only three persons sat in the conference room and no one came.
According to the previous list of participants, the number of mid-level and above managers coming to the meeting should be more than 20.
There were now only three people in the conference room. The situation was so awkward.
I didn’t need to think but I know who did this behind my back.
I guessed the one who did this behind my back must be Moyun Feng. First he pretended to be friendly to me, trying to get me on his side, and then he stopped those people from coming to the meeting after he was rejected by me.
I stood up and looked at the three people with a smile, “Hello everyone, I’ll introduce myself first, I’m the new sales director Nala Yao. It’s a pleasure to work with you all, now we’ll start….”
I didn’t cancel the meeting even if only three people attended the meeting. I did all the things that should be said and the work that should be arranged.
“Thank you all for participating in today’s meeting, and thank you for your hard work. I am sure we will work better in the future. That’s all for today, thank you.” I calmly closed the folder.
After the three staffs walked out, I sat alone in the conference room for a long time. I knew my job would be hard, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.
But I knew it was only the first step of Moyun Feng’s targeting me.
I would face more provocations from Moyun Feng in the future. The war had just begun.
At that moment, my phone rang. It was from Leon.
when I was so disappointed, his call gave me a little comfort. I quickly picked up the phone.
“Did Moyun Feng embarrass you?” He had already guessed that Moyun Feng would give me a hard time.
“I organized a meeting with the head of the sales department and only three people turned up,”
“Well, now you let the assistant make a notice. All those who didn’t show up for the meeting will be deducted from their bonus for the month. If they’re going to resign because of disobedience, you grant their request. Then everyone knows that you’re not a rookie.” Leon said.
