Chapter Six Network (06)
The tea is still wafting with light smoke, while the summer cicada stares blankly, lost in thought
The summer cicada also knows that this reason is untenable; it is merely the last piece of fig leaf that she has presumptuously fought for Fu Ruyu.
The summer cicada nodded
In the morning, I handed over the shift to Fu Ruyu, who remained as patient and meticulous as usual
She tilted her head slightly, silently asking: "Are you chasing me?"
Chen Rong glanced at her and said, "Why don't you ask, why is it Fu Ruyu?"
At that moment, Xia Chan's phone rang; it was a call from Liu Hongyi
I never expected to become a supervisor; I am just satisfied to remain in my current position.
In the afternoon after work, Xia Chan went to the parking lot and directly got into Chen Rong's car
In the lobby stood a middle-aged man who had been following He Huaisheng, his expression displeased, holding a large bouquet of fresh long-stemmed roses.
He Huai-sheng asked again: When will Miss Xia be available
Xia Chan does not consider herself to be a particularly upright person. Living beside Zhou Lan, she has witnessed too many sordid affairs and has become accustomed to them. This certainly does not mean that one day she will also become a party to this heap of filth
Chen Rong fell silent for a moment, "Xia Chan, I suggest you prepare for the worst. Fu Ruyu has been promoted to supervisor, and Liu Hongyi has decided to place Chi Yue in her position. This means that, regardless of the circumstances, two more will have to be laid off."
"It is not surprising that Ruyu is in charge of me..." However, before the words were finished, Xia Chan had already realized something, fell silent for a moment, and then hurriedly denied it, "Impossible."
He Huai-sheng remained silent
Xia Chan restrained herself, took the teacup in front of Liu Hongyi, poured in the tea leaves, cleaned it thoroughly, added a sufficient amount of fresh tea leaves, poured in nearly half a cup of boiling water, and placed it in front of Liu Hongyi
Liu Baona nodded eagerly and asked, "Sister Xia Chan, do you think I will be laid off?"
a room card
... ... blind shovel ... ...
Cheng Zijin smiled but did not respond, walking past the summer cicadas.
Even though the summer cicada is filled with countless questions, at this moment it can only temporarily swallow them down.
The subway station arrived quickly, and Xia Chan felt heavy-hearted, saying: "I will think it over."
Is it more important to rush home, or is the future more important
He Huai-sheng looked at her after she finished speaking and lowered his head to type: "I fear that part of it is due to my doing"
He He Huaisheng made a gesture of "please"
The middle-aged man's complexion is worse, "Mr. He He Huaisheng."
The summer cicada did not respond, "Is it really Fu Ruyu?"
The summer cicada busily said: "Yes."
The summer cicada opened its mouth but did not make a sound, as if it were the one that had just developed a speech impediment
The summer cicada was about to respond when Cheng Zijin's gaze shifted to the large bouquet of roses in her arms, "These flowers were airlifted from the Netherlands"
In a moment, the summer cicada's phone vibrated
The summer cicada could only stand still, "Mr. He."
After Liu Baona left, Xia Chan took out her phone and sent a text message to Chen Rong
The summer cicada stood there, suddenly at a loss as to where to go.
From childhood to adulthood, thanks to this skin, the summer cicada has encountered quite a few fortunate events
The summer cicada hurriedly turned its head
Have you left? Please come to my office.
However, looking at Xia Chan now, it feels as if she has swallowed a fly, which is quite uncomfortable
Chen Rong looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?"
The summer cicada felt that it might never recover, unable to endure any longer, and sent a WeChat message to He Huaisheng.
The summer cicada was taken aback
Chen Rong sighed, "You are just like me, making other plans. With Liu Hongyi here, he has the power to dominate everything. Even if you manage to escape this time by luck, there is no guarantee you will be so fortunate next time. Liu Hongyi has support from higher-ups, making it difficult to move against him. He has been saying behind my back that I am being pretentious and hypocritical, which is why he specifically chose these two individuals to annoy me... The housekeeping department is fundamentally corrupt." He has been saying behind my back that I am being pretentious and hypocritical, which is why he specifically chose these two individuals to annoy me... The housekeeping department is fundamentally corrupt.
There are naturally no arrangements, it is a time of many affairs, and it coincides with a period of vacancy, with neither the inclination nor anyone to accompany me
He Huai-sheng stood still and gave a slight nod
She extinguished the cigarette and looked up at He Huaisheng, "Mr. He, I have something to attend to, so I will take my leave now." She paused for a moment, "The flowers are beautiful, thank you."
It is very expensive. The person who sent it to you is quite willing to spend money
Liu Baona chuckled and said, "I have my sources!"
The summer cicada eagerly asked: "Do you know Mr. Cheng?"
To serve others with a smile, how long can one expect to enjoy the benefits
He saw the summer cicadas appear and coldly shouted, "Miss Xia," before presenting the flowers in his hand, "These are from General Manager He."
He Heshuai paused for a few seconds and replied to her: Why not
Finally, she glanced down at the edge of the table
Chen Rong said, "We will eat next time. I have something to do today, so I will take you to the subway station"
The summer cicada smiled faintly and still silently said: "I do not believe."
Chen Rong remained silent
The summer cicada could not help but respond.
Liu Baona shook her head, "I also do not dare to speak too much to others"
On that noon, Xia Chan was called to the lobby by a phone call
Someone was speaking in the walkie-talkie, and Xia Chan pressed the headset, laughing as she said: "You might as well keep this skill to yourself—hurry back to work"
The summer cicada, half in doubt, asked, "How do you know that?"
The summer cicada stood still and respectfully greeted, "Hello, General Cheng."
Xia Chan turned around and headed back to the hotel, making a beeline for Liu Hongyi's office
Xia Chan hurriedly asked her, "Sister Rong, has the candidate for the supervisor position been decided?"
After waiting for a moment, the elevator doors opened, revealing Cheng Zijin, the newly appointed CEO who had just joined the company last year. Xia Chan had only interacted closely with Cheng Zijin once at a cocktail party. At just thirty-five years old, he was a pragmatic individual with a very firm approach, as evidenced by the layoff notice he issued shortly after taking office.
Cheng Zijin wore a smile that was neither fully a smile nor not a smile, "I have seen you at the wine gathering, and you left a deep impression on me"
Liu Hongyi leaned on the large table, tilting his head to look at Xia Chan with a half-smile, "Make me a cup of tea, from the third jar on the left shelf."
The summer cicada was astonished, "Why is it Chi Yue?"
He Huai-sheng: Whether one believes or does not believe is not important
The summer cicada glanced at him, took a step back, pulled out a cigarette from the bag, lit it, and held it between her slender, fair fingers
The summer cicadas only feel it is an unwarranted disaster, yet He Huaisheng remains undeterred, sending people over to deliver flowers for two consecutive days. On the card, there is a simple phrase "Wishing you well" and a single character "He".
He Huai-sheng took out his phone from his pocket and typed to ask her: "Miss Xia, do you have any plans?"
The summer cicada listened to what she said and immediately got up to leave
He seems to be even more distant than usual
He walked over to the summer cicada, pressed his palm on the edge of the table, cleared his throat lightly, adjusted his tie, and then stepped away.
Thank you for your kind consideration, but I do not have time today
The summer cicada slightly furrowed its brow and said, "Manager Liu, it is already after work hours."
Liu Baona hurriedly pulled her and said, "Sister Xia Chan, listen to me, this news is absolutely true. I sneaked into the leaders' dining hall for a meal today and happened to overhear Manager Liu discussing the candidate for the supervisor position with Deputy Manager Chen"
Like jade, she has a boyfriend
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chan felt dozens of piercing gazes from the front desk directed at her.
Xia Chan held the room card, stepping out of the door in a state of confusion and unease. It was not yet four in the afternoon, and a thin sun hung overhead.
Xia Chan was taken aback, "Which President He?"
Liu Baona seemed to feel somewhat relieved upon hearing her words, "Why don't you learn one as well? I can teach you; you can master everyday conversation in less than a month."
This person is quite self-aware
The summer cicada straightened its back, "Mr. He wants to invite me to dinner?"
The situation has become clear; Fu Ruyu and Chi Yue have risen to power. Whether she stays or leaves depends on whether this room card will ultimately be useful tonight
The summer cicada thought to itself, what kind of good news is this, a prolonged pain is worse than a short one, I still have to endure this tormenting life for another week
The situation at the hotel is quite chaotic, and suddenly He Huaisheng, who has not been seen for a while, appears to add to her troubles
It is He Huai-sheng, who has not yet left
The summer cicada slightly turned its back and answered the phone: "Manager Liu."
He Huai-sheng nodded
The summer cicada slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "You must have heard about the major reshuffle within Kaiser. The layoff list will be released tomorrow. If I unfortunately find my name on it, today will be our last meeting." To ease He Huaisheng's reading difficulty, she spoke at a measured pace.
The summer cicada's expression was grave, and after a moment of contemplation, it asked, "Have you mentioned this to anyone else?"
There is a living example at home, and she will naturally not repeat the same mistakes
You know sign language, which is a rare talent
The man's crotch constitutes numerous obstacles, yet she refuses to lie down and pass through, only to end up with a face full of dust
Liu Hongyi then lowered his legs, picked up the cup, took a small sip, and said slowly, "There is some good news"
Chen Rong nodded, "Liu Hongyi is planning this way; he is the manager, and his word is final. Although I strongly recommended you..."
The summer cicada immediately spotted He Huaisheng in the back seat and was ready to take a detour. Before she could escape, the person in the car had already opened the door and was striding towards her.
Xia Chan gathered his spirits and picked up on Liu Hongyi's topic, "Manager Liu, please go ahead."
The list has been reviewed by the higher-ups, and there are still some disputes regarding certain candidates. Everyone has decided to discuss it further and will provide the results next week
It is not that I disdain Fu Ruyu, but rather that I genuinely feel she deserves better. Why must it be Liu Hongyi among all people...
Cheng Zijin stepped out of the elevator and cast a glance at her, "Xia Chan"
There is nothing impossible; if you do not wish to occupy this position, there are naturally others who would like to take it.
The world tends to be more forgiving towards those who are beautiful, yet when it comes to matters that truly involve interests, that very face can become an obstacle
He stood on the steps of the porch, holding a cigarette in his hand, with a faint mist rising, enveloping his brows and eyes
Undoubtedly, the scene where flowers were sent to her just before she was blocked by the general manager at the elevator door quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind at an angle
That afternoon, a flashy Lamborghini parked in front of the hotel
As for the focal point of this controversy... Liu Hongyi smiled, set down his cup, stood up from his chair, and said, "It can be large or small"
She held the flowers and took the staff elevator down to the lounge on the second floor
The summer cicadas shake their heads, "Mr. He, let me speak frankly with you. I know what young gentlemen like you are after. A few years ago, I was confused and deceived myself for a while, thinking it wouldn't hurt to play along. I could make some money from properties and tickets, find another city to settle down in, and from then on, live without worries about food and clothing. However..."
At least living to this day, this is the first time someone has given her such expensive roses
Bona, do not discuss this matter with others. There are many people around, and you should not get yourself involved.
He Huai-sheng: What Liu Hong-yi can offer you, I can also offer you
