After returning to the third floor, I continued to do my business. It was at the end of the celebration that Xiaodong Su asked me, “Where did President Jiang go? Why was her seat always empty?”
“I went downstairs to look for her, but she seemed to have left. You didn’t go downstairs to welcome her, so she should be angry.”
Xiaodong looked disdainful, “How can she be angry at that? She’s really narrow-minded. I don’t care if she’s angry. She wasn’t present here and the celebration was also done well.”
I smirked inwardly, “Now you’re just bragging. Ling Jiang is not someone you can mess with, just wait for her to come after you.”
Overall the opening celebration was considered a success, but it wasn’t the credit of Xiaodong. It was mainly due to the excellent team that Wenbei had brought out over the past few years. After the festival, Xiaodong went off to hang out with a bunch of celebrities and dudes, leaving me and the team to handle the follow up.
I was happy to do this work, because it helped me to accumulate experience and enhance my abilities. Abilities can’t be learned in books. Only accumulating and summing up in real work will really enhance my abilities.
It was eight o’clock in the evening when I was done. I was so tired. After returning to the Nan House and taking a shower, I remembered that I hadn’t eaten dinner yet.
I was thinking it was already too late and I wouldn’t eat anything, but my stomach kept screaming like it was protesting my not eating. It seemed that I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep tonight without dinner.
I remembered there was food in the fridge, so I cut up some fruit, took a bottle of yogurt, and made a fruit salad. The salad was not well made, but I thought it was delicious because I was so hungry. After a bowl of salad, I was still hungry. I even wanted to cook another bowl of noodles.
But after touching the fat around my waist, I gave up cooking noodles. I drank two cups of warm water before I wasn’t hungry anymore.
Then I called Wenbei and told him that today’s opening celebration was a success. He said he’d been to Tonyu Technology today. He praised me for doing a good job to run the company well. He thought it was the reason that he could take over Tonyu Technology easily.
But I didn’t tell him about the strife I created between Xiaodong Su and Ling Jiang, because I knew he didn’t like me doing that.
Wenbei is good in every aspect, but sometimes he always puts the company and the Su family’s interests above his own. To him, the overall interests of the Su family and Nanhe Group are more important than anything else. He can be wronged or even humiliated for it, which I don’t really agree with. I think people are sinister and it’s important for me to survive the fierce competition, otherwise it’s all nonsense.
I was talking to Wenbei when another phone call came to me. It was from Leon.
“I saw Wenbei Su at the Pioneer Park today. He personally came over to inspect Tonyu Technology’s work. It seems that Nanhe Group is paying a lot of attention to Tonyu Technology.” Leon said.
I hadn’t had time to tell Leon about the demotion of Wenbei. I didn’t feel the need to report to him on everything either, so he didn’t know why Wenbei would come to Tonyu Technology.
But since he asked, it was necessary for me to tell him, Just in case that he would say something wrong when he met Wenbei.
But it was a long story, and we hadn’t figured out why Wenbei was suddenly demoted, so I was just going to talk about it roughly.
Leon is smart and familiar with what people in wealthy families do to fight for their interests, so he understood as soon as I said it, and he came to a conclusion, “Xiaodong Su must have some secrets of Jiye Su, so he forced Jiye Su to demote Wenbei.”
This speculation of his had actually crossed my mind as well as that of Wenbei, but there was just no evidence.
I hadn’t answered yet, but Leon had already changed the topic. “Now that Wenbei isn’t in Yang City, will it be dangerous for you to stay there alone with no one to protect you? You need my protection, and I’m coming for you now.”
“Are you kidding me? It’s too late. You don’t need to come to Yang City for me. I’m safe here. I pose no threat to others, so no one will fix me deliberately.” I said,
Leon, however, disagreed, “You were promoted by Wenbei. In the eyes of others, you’re his person. Since they want to fix him, of course you should be fixed along with him. If I’m not wrong, Xiaodong Su has been giving you a hard time.”
“The situation isn’t as bad as you think or as scary as you say it is. I’m much safer here than in Hai City.” I said,
After talking to him for a long time, I finally convinced him not to come to Yang City. He had a lot of things to do, and he couldn’t protect me every day.
….
As soon as I arrived at the office the next day, Ling Jiang’s assistant called me to Ling’s office.
Before I could speak, she threw a newspaper at me, “Read it.”
I took a look at the newspaper. It turned out to have a photo of Ling Jiang being kicked out by the security guards, with the caption, The wife of the chairman of Nanhe Group has fallen out of favor, she was kicked out of the opening celebration.
I had seen people take pictures at the time. I thought it was just circulating on the internet, but I didn’t expect it to be published in the newspaper.
“Such tabloids will write anything for sales. You don’t have to care it.” I quickly said with a smile.
“Are you deliberately lying to me? Since the tabloids have published it, the internet must have already spread the story. Is this a deliberate attempt by you and Xiaodong Su to embarrass me?” Ling roared.
Ling Jiang is a beautiful and well cultured woman. In my memory, she hadn’t been so angry that she had lost her temper. It seemed that she was really angry this time.
“Xiaodong definitely didn’t mean to embarrass you He’s not that kind of person.”
“Do you know Xiaodong Su well? Why do you say he’s not like that? You’ve turned your back on Wenbei Su and joined Xiaodong Su so soon? Do you help whoever gives you benefits?” Ling said coldly.
“President Jiang, you misunderstood me, I didn’t speak for him. I’m just telling the truth.”
“What do you mean the truth? The true is that the security guard gave me a hard time yesterday, right? He even had it filmed specifically to embarrass me. Xiaodong Su really thinks that by ousting Wenbei Su, he is the head of the Nanhe Group now? Nala Yao, tell me, did he do it on purpose?”
I lowered my head and pretended to be scared. “President Jiang, Xiaodong mustn’t have done it on purpose.”
“Then you went upstairs to him and asked him to come down and get me, why didn’t you ever come down? You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” Ling immediately pursued the question.
“I had come to look for Xiaodong. You can ask him about it. But he was very busy at that time. He had very important guests talking to him, so he just…”
I didn’t finish my words deliberately. I was going to leave Ling to guess what I would say. She was angry now, so she would guess that Xiaodong did this to target her.
“So he humiliated me on purpose? This opening celebration is a conspiracy. Xiaodong Su is deliberately trying to fool me, isn’t he?” said Ling.
“President Jiang, I really don’t know anything. I’m only an assistant, and I’ll just do whatever he tells me to do. If you want to know something, you can ask him. I really can’t tell you anything. Please let me go.” I pretended to be pitiful.
“Fine, I can let you go. You just tell me, did Xiaodong Su arrange all this in advance?” Ling stared at me and asked.
I didn’t say yes and I didn’t say no. I just pretended to be nervous, which was actually the same as telling Ling that I had defaulted to this being pre-arranged by Xiaodong.
