Lu Zhaoyang found out that he had only recently become the company’s president. Based on how he behaved in the office, she felt that he did not seem to be interested in making Ge Yu successful.
Was he in fact some multi-millionaire’s heir who buys companies for fun?
That was actually not as far-fetched as it seemed.
After she parted ways with Xiang Jinxi, Lu Zhaoyang went to the washroom to clean herself. Then, she went to see the manager of Li Hong’s husband. It took only a few questions for her to uncover the truth.
As expected, the manager had relayed the wrong message because he was dissatisfied with the company’s decision.
“Manager Liu, you…”
Before she could finish, Manager Liu’s office phone rang.
He took a quick glance at her before picking up the phone, obviously unwilling to discuss the matter further.
Lu Zhaoyang kept herself calm. She had all the time in the world to deal with this matter.
“President, please don’t. I am still willing to work for this company, I…”
Manager Liu listened to the dial tone as the call ended abruptly. He laughed bitterly at himself and asked Lu Zhaoyang, “Are you satisfied, now that I’m fired?!”
Lu Zhaoyang found his question ridiculous. Why would she be satisfied with his termination?
This was all his own doing. The manager must have thought that the president would stay out of the matter.
Nevertheless, Xiang Jinxi’s orders came as a surprise.
He had never fired anyone himself since he bought Ge Yu.
“Since the president has made his decision, I wish you the best in your future career.”
Lu Zhaoyang said by way of formality and went back to her office. Li Hong was already there waiting for her.
All the anger this morning seemed to have evaporated from her. The lady greeted Lu Zhaoyang smilingly.
“I should have known that the pretty Assistant Lu would never be so evil. I was wrong to have accused you. My husband called just now. It was all a misunderstanding.”
Li Hong looked apologetic. “I was too frustrated this morning. My son is going to university this year. We can’t afford to both lose our jobs. I hope you understand, Assistant Lu.”
“Don’t worry, I’m glad we cleared this up. I still have other businesses to attend to. You can leave now.”
She nodded at the lady and began to work without waiting for Li Hong to leave her office.
The thought of going to Thunderbolt Corp this afternoon was simply annoying.
Chen was in the city now too. Would he meet up with Huo Yunting?
…
Lu Zhaoyang, one of the company’s secretaries, and the manager involved with their collaborative project arrived at Thunderbolt Corp’s office at two o’clock sharp in the afternoon.
They were ushered to a meeting room. Everything looked so familiar to her.
“Sister Zhaoyang!”
Lu Zhaoyang heard Lin Yazhi and turned to see her bringing tea into the meeting room. “The president said to prepare tea for you!”
She looked at her other colleagues. They were all served coffee, but she got tea.
“Thank you.” Lu Zhaoyang said with a tiny smile.
“I’m off then, sis Zhaoyang, let’s talk once the meeting is over!” Lin Yazhi looked at the time and promptly left the meeting room.
Lu Zhaoyang sipped her tea and waited quietly for Thunderbolt Corp’s representatives.
At 2:05, Huo Yunting appeared. He greeted her with a frivolous smile.
The meeting was not going to be a serious one, it seemed.
Someone from Ge Yu was speaking, so Lu Zhaoyang enjoyed her tea as she observed the man sitting opposite her. Huo Yunting simply sat back in his chair with his legs crossed and pretended to rest his eyes.
He still looked as carefree as ever.
The other two representatives from Ge Yu thought that they were a bore to President Huo.
