But Tang Xiaowan saw everything. She didn’t show anything on her face, but she rely sent a ssage to Cheng Shi.
[Co to the entrance of the small conference room at half past ten.]
[Received.]
After replying, Cheng Shi frowned, a bad feeling erging.
Was Miss in trouble?
Was soone not listening to Miss, making her angry?
He sat in the car, staring intently at his phone, partly worried Tang Xiaowan might send another ssage and partly timing his departure.
The eting ended at half past ten.
Tang Xiaowan kept vice manager Zhang Dong behind alone. Her eyes revealed a hint of sharpness and calm, while her plump red lips slightly curled upwards.
The solid wood door closed slowly. Tang Xiaowan sat back in her place, gesturing for Zhang Dong to sit down.
"Zhang Dong, I noticed so inappropriate behavior from you during the eting. Now that everyone has left, tell , what happened?"
Although Tang Xiaowan’s tone was light, it carried a certain pressure.
Zhang Dong was slightly startled, trying to maintain his composure as he answered, "Boss, I don’t understand...which behavior you are referring to, please clarify."
Tang Xiaowan’s fingers gently tapped on the table, her voice containing a restrained anger.
"Using a recording pen during the eting."
In fact, until now, Zhang Dong’s recording pen was still in the recording mode.
But he couldn’t imagine that, despite being careful and cautious, even suppressing his anger and joining the discussion with a smile,
he shouldn’t have been discovered!
"What, not talking? Do you think what you did was right?" Tang Xiaowan chastised.
Hearing this, Zhang Dong’s face changed drastically, realizing that his discreet actions under the table had been exposed by the boss.
But he still tried to keep his composure and responded, "Boss, I just wanted to study thoroughly when I got back, worried I might miss parts of everyone’s excellent discussions. Everyone spoke very well, extrely well."
In fact, even before Leng Lingxiao had acquired Chi Sea, Zhang Dong had already harbored other intentions. He couldn’t refuse the lucrative offer from a five-star hotel and the pay for gathering information.
So during these tis, he had committed no small amount of exploits, including lining his own pockets.
However, Zhang Dong miscalculated.
Despite Tang Xiaowan’s young age, she was not soone easily fooled, and Zhang Dong’s previous actions had been thoroughly investigated by her.
This being the first routine eting, she naturally paid him extra attention.
"Boss, what I said is true, after all, as you might have heard, I have so family connections with that person...so I also felt pressure!"
Tang Xiaowan listened calmly to Zhang Dong’s explanation, her gaze turning frosty, "Zhang Dong, it’s good to have a mindset of willing to learn, but it should be done through proper channels, not by recording secretly, which is an intolerable behavior."
While she spoke these outward words, her thoughts were: Okay, like to act, do you? I’ll indulge you.
Zhang Dong bowed his head in acknowledgnt of his mistake, "Boss, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. I hope you can forgive , this was just once."
Tang Xiaowan sighed lightly, "Zhang Dong, as the vice manager, your actions and words represent the image and values of the hotel. I hope you can set a good example for the team."
"Boss, I assure you I won’t make the sa mistake again. I will contribute more to the developnt of the hotel. I was wrong, I apologize."
Having said these words, Zhang Dong then pulled out the recording pen and handed it to Tang Xiaowan with all due respect.
Hmph, a wise man does not eat losses in front of him!
He thought, losing a bit of face now is nothing, since others don’t know. It’s still better than causing a bigger issue and being ridiculed in the industry.
"Leave your phone as well."
Zhang Dong frowned, "Yes, Boss."
Reluctantly, Zhang Dong took out his phone and gently placed it on the table, clearly uncomfortable and hesitating to speak further.
Tang Xiaowan smiled faintly, nodded, and signaled that Zhang Dong could leave.
She did not want to escalate the issue, especially since she had just taken over Chi Sea, and sentints were still unstable. It wasn’t suitable to make major personnel changes. Moreover, getting the recorder out could negatively impact the hotel, so it was best to stop here.
She wouldn’t assign him important tasks in the future, and naturally, he would get bored and resign.
However, when Zhang Dong left the conference room, he was startled by Cheng Shi who was standing outside, his substantial stature and stern face quite intimidating.
