I have no idea why, but I fell sick for three straight days, with a high fever that wouldn’t subside even after taking antipyretics. I had to have IV drips at the hospital for several days before I started to feel better.
During these days, the dia online gradually changed their tone.
“Zhenyi Company’s President seeks justice for his wife and child, and takes Golden Bay Property Company to court in a fit of rage.”
“Golden Bay Properties denies any issues with their fire safety system, claiming it was the custor’s oversight while expressing sorrow for the deceased.”
“Zhenyi Company’s President hires a Feng Shui master and spares no expense in selecting a burial site for his wife and child.”
“Zhenyi Company recently released two new designs for children’s clothing and the President promises to donate half of the proceeds from these sales to charities.”
My fingers swiped through these posts on my screen.
But, there was no fluctuation in my emotions.
In fact, all that was happening in front of was a culmination of the business strategies developed by the public relations team.
Still, they managed to successfully turn the tide of public opinion around.
The stock of Zhenyi Company gradually began to rise as well.
When I was starting to feel slightly better, the landlord ca again.
“Hey, ti to pay up, ti to pay!”
I slipped on my slippers, pulled out my phone,
“Let’s connect on WeChat, I’ll transfer it to you!”
My quick repaynt surprised my landlord, who then added,
“Young lady, you should take more care of yourself and not waste all your money on n. According to my many years of experience, he’s not really soone you should commit your life to.”
The landlord was referring to Song Xiaoyun, though I didn’t know much about her private life.
As of now, I had no interest or energy to deal with these matters.
I didn’t transfer much money into my WeChat account, so after paying the rent for the next few months, I barely had any left. I then had to find ways to transfer money from my original account.
Even though I had taken leave from work, I didn’t miss out on the ergency public relations matters.
After posting its recruitnt notice on the company website, candidates began to turn up for interviews imdiately.
Soon after, an ergency PR task force of five people was ford, led by Luo Zizhou and .
Although I was responsible for this PR team, Luo Zizhou dominated all decision-making processes.
All decision-making power was in his hands.
A high-rank outweighs a heavy load, and as the temporary team lead picked at the eleventh hour, I really had little authority.
But I was not really worried about that right now.
What I wanted was to find out certain things about Gu Yuanzhou.
Suddenly, a complete ergency plan was delivered to Gu Yuanzhou.
The first day back to work…
Luo Zizhou called into his office and gave a stern lecture.
“This public relations crisis has been resolved for now. This task has been successfully completed due to the combined efforts of all team mbers. But it’s mainly because I proposed the critical solution…”
I raised my eyebrows. Was this man trying to take all the credit?
“Secretary Luo, I was the one who proposed that solution!”
I rembered quite clearly that I was the one who wrote it down. After handing it over to Luo Zizhou, he insisted that we discuss it internally before presenting it to the President.
During a team eting later, he claid the idea was his.
Now that the strategy was successful, he actually had the audacity to claim all the credit.
However, Luo Zizhou didn’t seem to have any guilt,
“Song Xiaoyun, you’re still so young! Young people don’t know how to be humble. Think about it, you have taken unjustified leave for more than three days. If it wasn’t for covering for you, you’d have been kicked out by now. Rember, in this company, you need a network. Otherwise, soday you might be fired out of the blue.”
His words were both threatening and intimidating.
If it was a work newbie, they would have been frightened.
But I was not one!
“Mr. Luo, it’s not right for you to threaten new employees because you want to take all the credit!”
“You, you’re irreconcilable. Do you believe that I can get the HR departnt to fire you right now!”
“I don’t believe you!”
“Wait and see!”
Luo Zizhou looked furious…
As Gu Yuanzhou’s secretary, over the years he had indeed ford many connections in the company.
As expected, in less than half an hour, I received a call from the HR manager.
“Song Xiaoyun, wrap up your handover work and go to the finance departnt to settle your wages.”
“Why?”
“You’ve been fired!”
“I don’t accept it!”
After stating so, I imdiately hung up the phone.
Then, I took the elevator to the CEO’s office.
Gu Yuanzhou seed busy.
In the workplace, I’ve seen many n in white shirts and black suits, but he is without a doubt, the best looking and the most fitting.
He has a perfect physique, deeply contoured features.
His deanor is calm and professional, his dark eyes naturally intimidating. Those who approach him can’t help but bow down in submission.
Of course, he wasn’t like this six years ago.
This imposing aura is a reflection of his survival from countless business wars.
The saying ‘An old ginger is spicier’ truly describes this man.
At this mont, he was sitting in his black leather boss chair, going over a contract.
In a company with tens of thousands of employees, all decisions have to go through his signature—it’s not an easy job.
When he finally had a mont to rest,
I made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.
He took a sip of the coffee…
Perhaps because the flavor of this coffee was so familiar, he seed a bit surprised. After a pause, he took another sip.
Then, he turned his puzzled gaze towards .
“Did you make this?”
“Yes!”
“Why does this coffee taste different?”
Gu Yuanzhou indeed didn’t know there was a secret to this coffee.
Throughout the years we were married, I did many things for him, but he never asked about them.
Over ti, he has beco accustod to my taste I suppose!
After making coffee for him for so many years, I obviously knew what was different about it.
“I added a little mint to the coffee, it helps to refresh the mind!”
Gu Yuanzhou’s deep black eyes scanned up and down again.
While we were talking, Luo Zizhou suddenly stord in, pointing at saying,
“Weren’t you just fired? How are you still here? Hurry up, pack up your things and leave!”
Maybe because he was feeling guilty, Luo Zizhou probably thought I was badmouthing him in front of Gu Yuanzhou. So, he was eager for to leave the CEO’s office imdiately.
“Mr. President, this cup of coffee has a small story behind it. But I guess I won’t have the chance to tell you about it anymore. So, I’ll leave then!”
Without arguing, I just said pitifully, then with my head down, I started to walk away.
But, Gu Yuanzhou stopped right then and there,
“Who told you to leave!”
