The next day.
When Lu Man woke up.
Mo Xiuyuan had already left.
There was nothing around him.
In the end, they still ended up with this identity.
She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
On her neck, there was another very shallow Hickey.
She wiped it.
She didn’t remember what she did last night, but it still left some marks.
She washed up briefly, changed into a set of home clothes, and was ready to go out.
When she went out, she suddenly saw a blue gift box on the headboard of the bed.
She didn’t remember seeing this kind of thing.
After thinking for a while, she walked over and picked it up.
She opened it.
It was a pair of earrings.
They were very bright diamonds. Even if the light wasn’t particularly bright now, the dazzling light reflected from the diamonds could still be seen.
Was this a supplement to her? !
She smiled coldly and put the earring into the pile of jewelry.
She did not even have the energy to take in those things now.
She went downstairs.
Downstairs, breakfast had been prepared for her.
She ate it alone.
It was tasteless, but she was used to living alone.
“Mrs. Mo,”Aunt Zhang, who served her breakfast, called her.
“Just call me Miss Lu.”
“Oh, it’s Miss Lu.”Aunt Zhang paused and said, “When the commander left this morning, he said that if you want to go anywhere, you can go for a walk. You Don’t have to stay in the villa all day.”
So now he was giving her freedom.
“He also said that if you feel a little unwell, you have to go to the hospital. Now, there’s an ambulance waiting for you 24 hours a day. The hospital will also be ready at any time until you successfully give birth.”
Lu Man Man nodded.
“The commander is really good to you.”Aunt Zhang said, “When he left, he especially told me to take good care of you. He also told me to chat with you more.”
Lu Man Man smiled faintly. “Aunt Zhang, I’m a boring person and don’t like to talk. Don’t mind me.”
“Of course not.”. “Actually, I don’t know how to talk. I’ve been working as a nurse in the hospital for many years. It’s my good fortune to be called by the commander-in-chief to serve you in my previous life. I’ll do my best to do better for you.”
“You don’t have to be so polite to me,”Lu man said straightforwardly. “Actually, my status and yours are about the same as Mo Xiuyuan’s.”
“Miss Lu…”
“Alright, you don’t have to accompany me anymore. You can continue with your work.”
“Okay,”Auntie Zhang replied and left.
Lu Man ate her breakfast quietly.
She thought that she would be able to live like this for a very long time in the future.
..
At Wen Cheng television station.
Gu Xin watched as the time on her show got tighter and tighter.
However, there really wasn’t much progress on the content.
She was also on the verge of breaking down.
Gu Xin held onto the schedule in her hands while Lin Qiaoqiao helped her organize it. She then checked it one by one, checking the progress of each segment. Those that were lacking in progress were all marked with a red tick. After checking the red tick, Gu Xin took a look, 80% of the work was far from their expected progress.
She suddenly felt like crying.
She really didn’t know why it was so difficult to push a job.
Why did the people below find so many excuses and why they couldn’t do things smoothly.
As she looked up at the sky and sighed, Lin Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but remind her, “Manager Gu, please give us a reminder about the current progress before the meeting. It’s really impossible for us to complete the task within the stipulated time. During this period of time, CEO Zhai rarely comes to the television station, and everyone has become lazy. You Can’t relax at this critical juncture. Otherwise, if you can’t complete the task, the first person to be criticized will be you.”
“I know that too!”! “But it’s not the first or second time I’ve had a meeting.”. “Every time I ask about the progress, the excuses are much better than mine. Every time I hear it, I’m speechless and can’t refute it. What do you want me to do? I’ve had enough of this job. Can you give me some time off?”
“Manager Gu, where did your initial passion go?”Lin Qiaoqiao was speechless.
It was obvious that she was quite positive at the start.
Gu Xin took a deep breath and forced herself to stay focused. “I’ve been informed that there will be a meeting in half an hour. If I’m really kicked out of the company, I’m fine with it. I’m afraid that my old man will have high blood pressure and anger.”
Lin Qiaoqiao quickly nodded. “Then I’ll send out a meeting notice right away.”
“Go on, go on.”Gu Xin waved her hand and picked up the schedule that she and her secretary had just organized.
How could it be so difficult to take responsibility for a single task.
When they were assigning tasks, everyone was clearly very motivated and they all said that they could do it. When it was time for work, how could they be so relaxed? !
She scratched her head and made herself drink some coffee.
Half an hour later.
In a small meeting room.
A few managers were sitting together.
Gu Xin took out the red tick-filled schedule in her hand. “This is our current progress. Do you think we can complete the task given by the television station within the set time?”
The office was completely silent.
Gu Xin really couldn’t be so mean.
She looked at the group of middle-aged executives who were much older than her and held back her anger. “Now, let’s talk about where our progress is lacking and what difficulties we have to solve together.”
Gu Xin decided not to make the atmosphere of the meeting too stiff.
The few supervisors heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Xin asked Lin Qiaoqiao to put the project summary on the projector. She was ready to communicate with them one by one.
Just as she opened her mouth.
The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Xin turned her head and saw Zhai an suddenly appear in the meeting room.
In fact.
Ever since that time in the restaurant, she had not faced Zhai An. Initially, she had been worried about how awkward it would be if she met her. In the end, she had thought too much, zhai an did not have so much time for her to meet her.
At this moment… alright.
She was finally a little embarrassed.
She pursed her lips.
Zhai an sat across from her in the meeting room and said, “Manager Gu, please continue. I’m just here to listen to the progress of the program.”
Gu Xin gritted her teeth.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she began to explain, “The content of the program is still in a very superficial summary. It doesn’t really go deep into it. For example, the dialogue and interview with the celebrities are too perfunctory. There’s no innovation at all. Moreover, the game in the interactive segment is not interesting at all. It’s directly copied from the reality show. Let’s not talk about the audience’s aesthetic fatigue. I’m tired of watching it.”
The planning director of the content department lowered his head and looked embarrassed.
“Director Zhang, tell me your views on the content. I’ll listen to your opinion too,”Gu Xin said to the content director in a calm tone. As she spoke, she glanced at Zhai an.
Zhai an lowered her head and flipped through a paper document that Lin Qiaoqiao had just given her. At the same time, she seemed to be listening to Gu Xin’s meeting. She did not seem to be in a good mood.
The content manager looked at director Zhai and said, “Manager Gu, our content planning team has indeed tried our best. There are only five members in our team. Each of our colleagues is working overtime to search for Manuscripts Online. They are revising and innovating. You also know that celebrities are very sensitive. There are some questions that we can not ask. We only wrote such content after giving it a comprehensive consideration. “As for the game interaction, it’s really not our team’s strong point. We’ve also applied for and supported the game planning of other programs. These are the two most effective interactive activities in the show. “If manager Gu is really not satisfied, you can actually hand over the responsibilities to the program planning department of the television station. We can fully cooperate until everyone is satisfied. The key is that the other party is not enthusiastic about our program at all…”
Gu Xin felt a headache coming on.
It was really a headache.
In any case, whenever she was in trouble, she would push it to another department, and the excuses were always different.
Last time, she did not say that the other party’s department was not enthusiastic.
She pursed her lips. “What manager Zhang means is that your current difficulty is that the department in charge of event planning is unable to give you absolute support, right? Do you need me to look for that department to negotiate?”
“Yes, manager Gu,”the content supervisor said hurriedly.
Gu Xin nodded and picked up the notebook to write it down.
The moment she started writing.
Zhai an suddenly stood up from her seat.
She looked at him in a daze, thinking that he had heard enough and was ready to leave.
However, when she saw him take out the document in his hand, her expression turned cold. “Manager Gu, You’ve given me such a long time. Is this the schedule?”
His tone was really heavy.
Gu Xin pursed her lips. “We’re having a difficult communication now.”
“I just feel that I’m wasting my time by coming to this meeting of yours.”
“I didn’t invite you to attend.”
“I’m also wasting your time!”Zhai an placed the document on the table.
She was a little too strong.
Hence, there was some noise.
The Meeting Room was instantly silent.
“As the person in charge of the program, if you have to personally take charge of every project at the slightest difficulty, how fast do you think your progress can be? ! Just now, supervisor Zhang said that the planning department would not give you any support. I really want to ask supervisor Zhang when you went to communicate with them, and what was the other party’s reply Why did you have to tell me what kind of difficulties you encountered during the meeting Shouldn’t you solve the problems as soon as you encounter them Is this the reason why you dragged your feet to this extent His voice was really cold.
Gu Xin was shocked by Zhai an in front of her.
She looked at the embarrassed supervisor of the content department and quickly said, “Actually, we have already gone through a few drafts. Supervisor Zhang is also very diligent.”
“Manager Gu, don’t you think that I’m directly denying your subordinates by criticizing them? ! Aren’t you defending yourself by protecting them now?”Zhai an’s voice was cold and deep.
Gu Xin bit her lip. “I know that the progress of this program is much slower, and there are indeed many things that don’t meet the requirements. We are also doing our best to speed up the progress…”
“Should I also remind you that what any enterprise or business group wants is not the process but the result?”. “I don’t care how much effort you have put in and how many late nights you have worked. This can only be an emotional evaluation of you when the final project ends, but it is definitely not an absolute factor that will change whether this matter is successful or not and whether it should be punished or not. And I really don’t want to hear someone tell me that the reason for the delay in progress is because the difficulty can not be solved. “If it’s a problem that can not be solved, this is a problem that you should have thought of before, and not something that you should be talking about at the conference. The purpose of the conference is to distribute the results and to encourage innovation. Otherwise, meetings with other reasons are a waste of time!”
Gu Xin pursed her lips.
She really could not take the scolding anymore.
This was the first time she saw Zhai an speaking so sternly to her and dismissing her completely in front of so many people.
“Manager Gu, I think it’s necessary for me to remind you that it’s your problem if you can’t manage your team well. I hope you can adjust your position properly.”Zhai an left after saying that.
She left for a long time.
The entire conference room was in a state of complete silence.
Zhai was always very serious. She would be meticulous in her work. However, she would never throw such a tantrum in front of so many people. She would even scold manager Gu directly and in front of her subordinates, it was actually a very disrespectful behavior. Most leaders would never choose this method.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Gu Xin felt that she was not so heartless. She would probably cry herself into a mess on the spot.
She took a deep breath and looked at the few supervisors sitting below her.
She looked at the few supervisors and felt extremely awkward.
She said.., “CEO Zhai is right. We have held a lot of meetings and wasted them on the managers’difficulties every time. “As you can see, our progress is far from what I expected. “Anyone who is the boss of this kind of thing will fly into a rage. I will take the criticism this time.”
The managers still did not take the initiative to say a word.
Gu Xin continued, “When we encounter difficulties, I hope that everyone can come down to look for me alone. As CEO Zhai said, some difficulties do not necessarily mean that you need me. In fact, you can do it yourself. I hope that everyone understands where they stand. We are a team, helping each other and understanding each other. “Today’s meeting ends here. After we go down, each supervisor will sort out the specific situation of the project that you are currently in charge of, including the time schedule. In the next meeting, I will only report who is behind and who is behind. “If I don’t have an absolutely good reason, I will ask for my resignation, including myself. If I don’t complete the project planning within the stipulated time, I will also resign.”
The meeting room instantly became much more solemn.
“Meeting adjourned.”Gu Xin stood up and left.
From the beginning to the end, she still did not throw a tantrum, but she seemed to have learned how to treat her subordinates.
She was not being led by the nose by her subordinates.
Instead, she needed to show her position and where her bottom line was.
She was really a rookie in the workplace and did not know anything.
Back in the office.
Zhai an’s criticism and lesson to her would still surface in her mind every minute.
He was right.
But humans were emotional animals. She was not really heartless. Just because she said that she was not sad did not mean that she was not sad!
Outside the room, Lin Qiaoqiao knocked on the door and entered.
“Manager Gu.”Lin Qiaoqiao brewed a cup of coffee with a fawning look on her face. “Calm down.”
“I’m not angry.”
“It’s obvious on your face.”
Gu Xin glared at Lin Qiaoqiao.
Lin Qiaoqiao placed the coffee cup in front of Gu Xin’s desk and said, “Manager Gu, don’t be angry. Actually, CEO Zhai is right. Our progress has been delayed by those old men who take advantage of their seniority. It’s difficult to come up with a reason now and then. CEO Zhai throwing a tantrum on the spot can also make those people more aware.”
“I’m not stupid. Of course I understand this principle.”Gu Xin picked up the coffee and took a sip.
She took a sip and almost spat it out.
“F * ck, What Coffee did you make? It’s so bitter.”
“Isn’t this making you think of the bitter and sweet memories? Our good days are coming!”Lin Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly.
“It tastes terrible.”Gu Xin put down the coffee. “You can go out. I have to work.”
“Manager Gu, actually bitter coffee can refresh you. You might as well drink more,”Lin Qiaoqiao didn’t forget to remind him.
Gu Xin frowned slightly. “I’m guessing that your real intention is to make me work overtime.”
Lin Qiaoqiao paused for a moment. “That’s what I meant.”
“Alright, I got it. You can go out.”She didn’t think that she would be able to go to work normally for the rest of the time.
She lowered her head and buried her head in her work.
Lin Qiaoqiao said with a nervous look on her face, “I also thought of it. Didn’t you compare CEO Zhai’s measurements at the restaurant that time? ! Maybe he took the opportunity to take revenge on you. He didn’t find a reason and just happened to catch you.”
Gu Xin also felt that Lin Qiaoqiao was right.
“So, don’t be depressed, manager Gu. It’s all because CEO Zhai was too ungenerous. Didn’t he just compare his measurements? He didn’t let us see him naked…”
Gu Xin really felt that her luck was not very good.
She quickly stood up and covered Lin Qiaoqiao’s mouth.
That silly girl, Lin Qiaoqiao, did not close the door when she brought the coffee in.
Then, she suddenly saw Zhai an appear at the door.
Lin Qiaoqiao was still talking about taking off her clothes. was she really going to get her killed? !
She quickly covered Lin Qiaoqiao’s mouth, and the coffee splashed all over her body.
It was very hot.
She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.
Her arm was full of coffee, and the pain made her want to swear.
Could she not be so unlucky? !
Could she not be so unlucky!
Lin Qiaoqiao was also stunned by manager Gu’s series of actions. Then, she saw director Zhai standing at the door, and she was speechless.
Therefore, one should never say small words behind others’backs.
Never.
It was a real lesson.
“Manager Gu, Are You Alright?”Lin Qiaoqiao reacted quickly and asked.
“I’m fine…”of course not.
You look like a fool!
Can’t you see that it’s Red? !
“How is it?”Zhai an’s familiar voice sounded above her head.
“It’s nothing. I’m going to the toilet to rinse it off,”Gu Xin said and rushed out.
She rushed to the public toilet and used cold water to shower non-stop.
She was only slightly better.
When people were unlucky, they could really get into trouble just by saying a word.
She looked at her red and swollen arms and lamented.
She felt that nothing was going well during this period of time.
After she took a shower for a while, she returned to the office with a burning pain.
Zhai an was still in the office.
Lin Qiaoqiao did not know where she had gone.
She was actually a little embarrassed. She smiled and called out, “CEO Zhai.”
Zhai an looked at her forehead and arms, which were even redder than before, and pursed her lips.
“It’s alright. It’s not very serious. The coffee isn’t too hot either,”Gu Xin said, “Do you have any instructions for me? Wait a moment. I’ll go and get a notebook to write it down. Usually, secretary LIN will help me remember it. I can’t really remember it myself.”
Zhai an watched as Gu Xin hurriedly picked up her notebook and found a pen.
The Burn was on her right arm.
She would feel a little pain if she used a little strength.
She endured it.
Zhai an looked at her and said slowly, “I came down to tell you that I don’t want there to be any uncertainties regarding the program. There’s still more than a month’s time. I hope that you can reorganize your program’s progress and the problems in this period of time. If you have any difficulties, I don’t want to hear it from you at every meeting. You can come and look for me directly. “My shift at the television station is not fixed. You can make an appointment with my secretary.”
“Okay, yes.”Gu Xin nodded.
“Take care of your own arm.”Zhai an looked at her swollen arm again.
Gu Xin smiled. “I know.”
Zhai an turned around and left.
Gu Xin heaved a sigh of relief.
She thought that he was scolding her again.
Was it true that all the leaders would give you a hard slap and then give you a piece of candy to treat him badly.
Indeed, Zhai an was an expert in management!
This required emotional intelligence.
Her emotional intelligence was indeed very low.
As she thought about these things, she sat down in her office chair and prepared to reorganize her program as CEO Zhai had reminded her. Why did she stop moving forward!
She had just placed her finger on the keyboard and typed two words.
It hurt!
She lowered her head and blew on her arm.
It was a good and fierce scene.
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she typed on the keyboard.
She did not know if it was because she was fully focused, but she did not feel much pain after typing for a while.
She typed for a while while writing down her plans and arrangements.
Lin Qiaoqiao came in, still panting, “Manager Gu, I went to buy the scalding medicine for you. I ran away. The scalding medicine that CEO Zhai mentioned is so damn hard to buy. I only found it after looking for a few streets. Quickly apply the medicine. Don’t leave a scar!”
Gu Xin looked at Lin Qiaoqiao’s panting. “Zhai an asked you to buy the medicine?”
“Yes.”
“I thought you ran away.”
“I’m such a disloyal person.”Lin Qiaoqiao looked very loyal.
Then, she picked up the scalding ointment and carefully applied it on her.
“Be Gentle.”Gu Xin broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
“It’s already very gentle…”
“It hurts! It Hurts!”Gu Xin could not help but scream.
Lin Qiaoqiao really felt that it was a miracle that manager Gu did not cry after being scalded by the coffee.
It was not easy for her to apply the ointment.
Lin Qiaoqiao put the ointment into Gu Xin’s bag, “I bought two tubes. Take one home and remember to use it. I’ll put the other one in my office. I’ll wipe it for you every day. President Zhai instructed me to wipe Yao four or five times a day. I’m afraid you’ll forget.”
“Okay.”Gu Xin nodded.
After applying the ointment, she felt a cold sensation and did not feel the pain anymore.
She turned around and prepared to work again.
Lin Qiaoqiao was rather gossipy. “Manager Gu, I think CEO Zhai treats you quite well.”
“You’re still talking about him!”Gu Xin was furious.
Every time she talked about him behind his back, she felt that something bad would happen.
“I’ll say one last thing. When I went to buy the medicine, I felt that CEO Zhai’s sudden outburst during the meeting was actually a demonstration. The meaning of a demonstration is to let you learn how to be a leader from him. This is completely to help you. Manager Gu, don’t you think so?”
“I’m not thinking about anything right now,”Gu Xin said straightforwardly. “Don’t Give Me Hope and let me down. I Can’t take the blow right now.”
Lin Qiaoqiao pursed her lips.
“Get out. I’ve sorted out my thoughts. Do a good job on the program. Otherwise, we’ll all have to roll up our blankets and leave.”
“Yes, manager Gu,”Lin Qiaoqiao said hurriedly and walked out.
Gu Xin placed her hand on the keyboard again and turned to look at the red marks on her arm and the cool ointment..
Forget it.
She buried herself in her work.
She worked late into the night.
Gu Xin had already drunk a few cups of bitter coffee and was so tired that she fell asleep in her office.
Lin Qiaoqiao pushed open the door and saw manager Gu lying on his desk.
Manager GU had indeed changed a lot. He would never be so concerned about something in the past. Even though the progress of the program was obviously behind schedule this time, manager Gu had actually put in a lot of effort. He had been working hard and wanted to do it well, it was just that not all of his efforts had resulted in results.
She pulled out the Xia Liang quilt and gently placed it on manager Gu’s body.
She had just wrung the quilt when she looked up and saw director Zhai standing at the door.
Lin Qiaoqiao was a little surprised.
Director Zhai made a “Shh”gesture and put it on his lips.
Lin Qiaoqiao hurriedly nodded and walked out. She even closed the door for manager Gu.
“Director Zhai, you’re still here at this time of Night?”Lin Qiaoqiao asked.
“I just finished working overtime and was preparing to leave. I saw that the lights in your office were on, so I came over to take a look.”
They were not on the same floor, so how did they know that the lights in their office were still on? !
Lin Qiaoqiao smiled. “Manager Gu has been working on the program. A second ago, he was talking to me about something, so I slept for a while.”
“You guys take care of your health too. Get off work early.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll be leaving first.”
“Take care, President Zhai.”
Lin Qiaoqiao looked at President Zhai’s back. She felt that President Zhai was very concerned about manager Gu? !
Inexplicably feel a lot of gossip..
