I felt really bad when I was back to the hotel. I still wanted to drink.
But I kept reminding myself I couldn’t lost myself because of Leon. I couldn’t be negative.
I sat on the balcony of my room in the hotel, looking the hustle night scenery of Ning City. My abdomen began to ache, but compare to my heartache, it was much better.
My phone on the table kept vibrating, but I didn’t answer because I didn’t want to talk with anyone. I just wanted to sit alone. I didn’t expect I didn’t fell sleepy until 2 am.
When I was in jail, I made up my minds for countless times that I would never contact Leon or have any relationship with him anymore. But in fact, that kind of determination was only to deceive myself. My real thought was that Leon explain to me why he wanted to divorce me and why he never came to visit me.
I even made many excuses for him. He wanted to divorce me because he was forced by others. He didn’t come to see him because I was a prisoner which would affect the reputation of the chairman of his listed company. But last night, Wenbei Su’s words completely broke my fancy.
The fact was so cruel that I didn’t want to face it, but I have to.
I hardly slept all night. The next morning, I followed the group again. Then for the next three days, I was in a state of extreme discomfort and depression, walking like a corpse, following the tour group through the scenic spots. After a few days, I lost some weight.
By the day of my return, I felt better. Because I knew that, no matter what happened I had to face the rest of my life.
After a day’s rest, I wrote a report on the problems I found in this trip, the work needed improvement, and some of my own suggestions, and gave it to Wenbei Su.
Wenbei Su appreciated it and he thought it was very constructive. Once again, he asked me to be the general manager of the tourism company he bought. But I refused. Because I was really not good at it.
I didn’t know how to manage Lanhai Technology before, either. But I was guided by Leon. If there’s something I didn’t understand, I could ask him. And that’s the company I bought together with him. Even if there were some problems in management, I wouldn’t be criticized. But now it’s different. I worked for others. If I didn’t do it well, even if Wenbei Su didn’t blame me. I had no face to face him, and Wenbei Su couldn’t explain to his board of directors.
But I also didn’t want to just be a loaferk, I had to work. Although I had some savings, I couldn’t just live on the past. After several discussions with Wenbei Su, I went to work as a sales director in a small company of Nanhe group. That’s what I did for a long time. I could handle it.
Although I came from other places, I got along well with my colleagues. The best thing was that the company was small, so the personnel struggle was not complicated, and nobody knew I once in jail. So I worked relatively comfortably.
My previous work experience also played a great role in my current work. One month later, our sales performance increased more than 50%.
This made Wenbei Su very happy. I was appointed by him. He was proud when I did a good job. And the leaders of my company also believed that I was close to Wenbei Su, so they reported my excellent performance and hoped to promote me.
So the headquarter replied that it would be discussed again, and then there was no response. I didn’t care about it in fact. I thought I’m comfortable in this position.
A week later, the leader of the company said that in the afternoon, someone from the headquarter would came to inspect the work and asked me to prepare for the reception.
I didn’t do much about the reception, it didn’t mean I didn’t take it seriously. I was good at the company’s business. I could handle it easily even without too much preparation.
But as soon as the general staff arrived, five or six cars and a dozen of people were accompanying them from five or six cars. I knew that the one who came today was not the ordinary executives I imagined before, but the big boss.
As a result, she was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was dressed in a black professional dress, with curled hair, she was tall and elegant. Just her eyes were sharp.
She looked familiar, I thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that I had seen this person in the media before. She was the executive director of Nanhe group and the wife of the chairman Ling Jiang. She was the mother of Wenbei Su.
I used to think she was beautiful and good-natured when I saw her in the media, but I didn’t expect to see her face to face today, and I was amazed at her youth. She’s not like Wenbei Su’s mother, it’s like his sister.
There were some similarities between Ling Jiang and Xiang Feng. They were both strong women. And they’re all famous women in the city. But they were also different. Most of the time, Xiang Feng worked behind the scenes, and her family group managed the affairs in the group. While Jiang Ling directly managed the affairs of Nanhe group. And it’s said that she’s very strong. She took part in many big projects.
“I heard that your CSO (Chief Sales Officer) was very capable. She greatly improved the company’s sales performance in just one month. Who is it? ” Ling Jiang looked around and asked. Her was really powerful.
The leader of the company asked me to come forward. “It’s Nala Yao.”
Ling Jiang looked at me. There was something complicated in her eyes. “Hello, Nala Yao. Thank you for what you have done for the company.” She held out her hand to me.
Her fingers were long, and the ring on her finger seemed precious. I shook hands with her with smile. I didn’t know why, I just felt she was not very friendly to me.
Then, she had a meeting with the company’s executives, and of course I was among them. She affirmed our achievements and then she gave us some guidance. Her guidance was definitely not that kind of cliche, she has a clear instruction and specific arrangements which were very useful to us.
This also showed that she was indeed not a person who only had appearance, not the so-called exquisite large vase, she was an iron lady with real skills.
Before leaving, She shook hands with all the company’s executives one by one and kept saying thank you. Thank you for everything you did for the company. The executives also looked up to her, she was indeed a very attractive woman.
After she left, I continued to work. I didn’t take it seriously. But the next morning, I was suddenly called to the general manager’s office.
I thought it was business, so I didn’t take it seriously. But the general manager opened and shut his mouth, unspeaking, which made me a little puzzled.
“Nala Yao, your performance in the company was very good, but our company is small. I’m afraid your ability will not be fully utilized here, so I suggest you try another company.” The general manager finally said with difficulty.
What did this mean? Was this going to promote me or dismiss me? But I felt that they may not dismiss me. After all, my performance last month was so good. The better I did, the worse I was going to be treated? How could this happen?
