小舞领着沈明来到她的新办公室,这几乎是她之前楼上办公室的一半大.
"苏总也给我安排好了吗?"沈明挑眉问道.
小舞似乎比以前轻松多了."沈明杰,暂时凑合吧.毕竟,您不经常来办公室.还有顾小姐,嗯...事情很复杂.我们现在处于劣势,所以不要惹麻烦.
那男人几乎因为害怕顾风而颤抖.
"小吴,你的心态有问题.如果你退缩,让她在你身上走来走去,那是你的选择.但我不会.沈明的语气尖锐.
"沈明杰,别装了."如果你真的有能力改变事情,我们就不会处于这种境地.
沈明猛地呼出一口气.连助理现在都敢嘲笑她?
"小吴,你——"
还没等她说完,她的电话就响了.
是苏宁的助理打来的电话.沈明以为这是关于中国的最新发展.
事实上,苏宁已经了解了华谊案,并让她的助理转达了她将在本周早些时候回国的消息.
通话结束后,沈明开始审阅小吴为她整理的文件.
20 分钟后,人力资源部门带着一名保安出现了."沈小姐,我们收到了一位公司员工的报告.小吴犯了一个商业错误.他将被停职接受调查.小吴,跟我们一起完成文书工作.
小舞一脸惊恐."停职?但苏总刚刚审查了我,结果还没出来...沈明杰.
她刚到公司,现在他们就要停职小舞了?
沈明冷笑一声."谁举报的?会不会是顾风?
人力资源主管的笑容变得迟钝,他犹豫了,无法回答.
沈明放下文件,对小吴说."去吧,配合调查.半个月后,我会来接你.
小舞很担心."沈明杰,如果我不在这里,谁来替你处理事情?"
沈明想了想.他说得有道理.
她转向人力资源主管."你打算给我分配一个新的助手吗?"
人力资源主管没有回应.
这时,小舞已经收拾好东西,被保安护送出去了.沈明站在门口,目送他离去.
她喊了 HR 主管."你已经处于管理职位,但没有常识.你不知道我是谁,也不知道顾风是谁吗?你觉得'苏小姐'这个称号毫无意义吗?
沈明的声音冰冷.她将一只手牢牢地放在主管的肩膀上."你把你的工作做好了,以后再也不要惹我生气了."
主管吓得浑身发抖,连忙回应道:"都是苏总的决定,不是我的.我不是故意冒犯你的.
沈明双臂交叉,走进了她的办公室."如果你真的不想冒犯我,现在就去换个办公室吧,"她说,转过身来最后看了主管一眼."我想要这栋楼里最大的办公室."
下午 3 点,开完会后,苏玉燕回到顶楼,注意到 CEO 办公室里有很多活动.
他的助理解释道:"顾小姐已经搬进了沈明的办公室.她发现低层空间太小了,所以她搬到楼上了一个更大的空间——就在你家的旁边.这是为副总统保留的办公室.
苏玉燕皱了皱眉."为什么她需要一个这么大的办公室?"
当苏玉燕到达办公室时,他的助理敲了敲门,但由于没有回应,他们打开了门.
透过巨大的落地窗,沈明正在打电话,说话很有力.
"Is it too early to talk about this now? The outcome is still uncertain, after all."
Ning Zhiqian had some tricks up his sleeve.
"Now you're only finding out about the problems with Huayi's real estate project? My useless cousin bid on that property years ago. As I've said before, if you come to me, I can provide you with all the documents for this case."
"You're so confident I won't find anything out?"
"Mm, I'm certain. Not even Su Yuyan will get anything. If Huayi's ties to our Ning Group could be exposed, it would've been years ago. No one dared take the risk—only I would dare to, Shen Ming. I'm willing to spend some money just to play this game with you."
He was so arrogant.
Indeed, this kind of self-destructive action, severing ties with Lu Fan publicly, could only be done by someone like him—someone twisted enough to do anything.
"What do you want?"
"What I want is you, Shen Ming. You've really made me go through a lot of trouble."
He had issues.
"Are you insane?"
"It's fine to be stubborn now, but when you come begging me in a few days, I won't be so easy to deal with. Shen Ming, the opportunity is right in front of you—don't waste it."
The Huayi case had another week before the deadline with Su Yuyan.
"Second Young Master, rest assured, I won't let things go this far."
After hanging up, Shen Ming's mind was in turmoil.
Outside her office, Su Yuyan had heard parts of the conversation. "Second Young Master?" he thought.
He walked in and spoke to her. "Who were you talking to? Rong Tianqi?"
Why would it be Rong Tianqi?
Shen Ming pressed down the anger on her face. Ning Zhiqian had really upset her.
"No, just an old business partner. We had a bit of a falling out."
Su Yuyan didn't press further. "I heard from the assistant that an hour ago, you had a fight with Xiao Feng downstairs."
"…Not exactly a fight," she replied, though it was close enough.
Gu Feng, at such a young age, was quite skilled at hiding his abilities. Shen Ming now realized she might not be his match.
"If I really did fight with Gu Feng, which side would you take?"
Su Yuyan raised an eyebrow. "Xiao Feng's a good kid. If there was a fight, I'm sure you'd have the upper hand."
Tch. He sounded just like Rong Zhaonan.
Su Ning was returning early to the country—not only because of the Huayi case but also to discuss an important matter. She had been preoccupied with it these past few days.
As the end of the month approached, it was time for Old Master Rong's birthday celebration.
The event was a grand affair at the Rong family's home, with many important figures in attendance, including the Su family, who were family friends.
Old Master Rong appeared much more spirited than Su Ming's own grandfather.
Seeing Old Master Rong made Shen Ming think about her own aging grandfather. If memory served her right, he wouldn't be able to leave the hospital until next month.
"Shen Ming, come over here."
Amidst the gathering of older adults, everyone stepped aside to make way for her. Su Ning called her over.
Those standing near Old Master Rong were either his family or influential figures.
The old man talked with Su Ning about her grandfather's recovery, asking when he would be discharged.
The two families exchanged pleasantries, and then Su Ning called out to Shen Ming from the crowd, pulling her into the group.
It was an abrupt move. Even Su Yuyan wasn't by her side.
Su Yuyan was a few meters away, chatting with Gu Feng and others.
Shen Ming stood next to Su Ning, with Mrs. Rong, Du Qing, on her right. Directly in front of her was Old Master Rong, his sharp eyes scanning her up and down.
His gaze made her uneasy.
Du Qing, standing beside him, had the same penetrating look.
