Chapter 1022
Arrogance and Overbearing
As for Gu Mingchuan's little incident, Bai Susu didn't take it to heart at all. In fact, Bai Susu had already made things very clear with Gu Mingchuan last time. After their last negotiation, Bai Susu had gradually reconciled with the past and put it behind her. She just wanted to live her future life well!
It was already very late, and everyone went back to their respective bedrooms to rest. Bai Susu unconsciously wore a smile on her face and also went back to her bedroom to rest!
Back in her bedroom, Bai Susu lay on the bed and thought about her time with Xu Bo'an that day. She felt happy and wanted to laugh, and eventually fell asleep happily.
Bai Shanshan, however, was not as happy as Bai Susu. Lying in bed, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable whenever she thought about Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu attending a class reunion today, regardless of whether their relationship was a pretense or a real one.
As Bai Shanshan thought about it, her mind became more and more confused. She kept wavering between the idea that she had different feelings for Xu Bo'an and the idea that she only admired him rather than liked him. She kept swaying between these two thoughts, so much so that she didn't get a good night's rest.
Compared to the huge reaction from Zhang Jimin's family, Xu Bo'an clearly didn't take the matter seriously. After returning home, Xu Bo'an quickly washed up and went to bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
The next day, everything seemed normal on Xu Bo'an's end.
Dongjiang Mining is different. Today is the day Lu Yan officially takes office as chairman. It is said that a new broom sweeps clean, and Lu Yan is no exception. Now that he has taken office, it is time for him to deal with some matters within the company.
When Lu Yan arrived at the office for the meeting, he instructed his secretary to announce that an important meeting was about to be held. All senior leaders were in the office's large conference room, while other employees participated via video conference.
Furthermore, the secretary separately notified Li Meijia to attend a meeting in the main conference room. Upon receiving this news, Li Meijia's colleagues all looked at her with envy and jealousy.
Everyone knows that employees below President Lu are not qualified to sit at the same table with him. But today, for the first time ever, Li Meijia was called up. Li Meijia has only been with the company for about a week. Dongjiang Mining has relatively high requirements for employees who want to join the head office. They all require that their first degree must be a bachelor's degree or above.
However, Li Meijia's first degree was a junior college diploma. The fact that she was able to work at Dongjiang Mining Corporation must mean that she had some extraordinary connections. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to get in so easily.
She's only been here for about a week, does that mean she's about to be promoted? With a powerful backer, her future is indeed bright. The office where Li Meijia works is in an uproar, everyone is praising Li Meijia.
Although Li Meijia smiled and agreed with her colleagues on the surface, she was actually very uneasy, wondering what Lu Yan's purpose was in doing this.
If he wanted to punish me, he could have just fired me. There was no need for him to go to such lengths to invite me to a conference room full of high-level leaders when I was such a minor figure.
Could it be that Lu Yan, after thinking it over all night, has come to a decision and wants me to be his mistress? Or perhaps he wants to promote me? It's not impossible.
Sure enough, people who can't get what they want through their own abilities are always thinking about getting something for nothing.
However, thinking this way, Li Meijia's anxiety lessened considerably, and she couldn't help but walk with her head held high and her chest out. She walked with a somewhat smug air towards the conference room on the top floor where the senior leaders were located. When she reached the door, Li Meijia gently knocked, and immediately heard a very magnetic and charming male voice from inside the conference room say, "Please come in!"
Li Meijia pushed open the conference room door and walked in. When Li Meijia entered the conference room, all the senior executives present were very surprised by her arrival. They had never seen such a person among the company's senior executives before.
One of the business department managers, who usually fawned over Su Jing, said, "Oh, who is this beautiful lady? I've never seen her before."
Others chimed in, "Yeah, who is she? How did she get into our meeting room? Isn't our meeting room only for senior leaders? How did a young girl end up here?"
Li Meijia was momentarily at a loss for words, overwhelmed by the attention these leaders were giving her and by their words.
Before Li Meijia could speak, Lu Yan, who was sitting in the central seat at the desk, said, "I'm the one who called her in!"
The man thought for a moment, then laughed unrestrainedly, looking at Lu Yan and saying, "President Lu, you've just taken over and you've already brought in a young girl as your personal secretary!"
Upon hearing this, all the senior executives present burst into unrestrained laughter. One of them, who was usually quite arrogant, said in a mocking tone, "It seems that the seemingly refined President Lu from before was just putting on an act. He's only just taken over and he's already eager to cultivate an office romance. He's really good at hiding it and playing the game!"
Upon hearing this, several people burst into laughter.
Lu Yan has officially taken office as the chairman of Dongjiang Mining today. These people are talking nonsense without even understanding the situation, which is obviously extremely disrespectful to Lu Yan. The reason why they dare to disregard Lu Yan is that most of them are much older than Lu Yan and have been in the company for many years. Many of them have been in their positions for many years without any progress. They are very dissatisfied with Lu Yan, a young man who has been promoted to chairman of the company not long after being transferred here.
In addition, some people, relying on their status as company veterans and holding important positions, felt that Lu Yan, the young chairman who had just taken office, would not dare to do anything to them.
For example, Su Jingren is such an arrogant person. After losing face in front of Lu Yan at the Royal Dynasty Hotel last night, Su Jingren was very unhappy.
He ended up slapping his precious daughter twice for nothing, yet Lu Yan remained unmoved.
When they got home that evening, Su Jingren not only didn't scold his daughter Su Lingyi anymore, but he also coaxed her for a long time, saying that he wouldn't let his daughter's two slaps go unpunished and that she would get her revenge on Lu Yan sooner or later. (End of Chapter)
