Chapter 432: Daughter-in-law

Yuan Siyin lowered her eyes and pushed open the door, then immediately smiled brightly: "Sorry, I was held up by something and I'm late."

The long conference table was full of people on both sides, leaving only one empty seat to Sheng Hong's right, which was obviously reserved for her.

Chairman Sheng, though elderly with gray hair, still nodded to Yuan Siyin with great energy: "Come and sit down."

Yuan Siyin walked around and sat down, but before she was even settled, she heard people whispering, "Are Yuan Siyin and Xiao Sheng getting married soon?"

"Who knows? Isn't it said that CEO Sheng is secretly pursuing our Director Yuan?"

"No wonder the chairman values ​​it so much, how could his daughter-in-law not?"

The two men opposite her scanned Yuan Siyin's clothes from head to toe, chuckling softly.

Her smile remained unchanged, and she pretended not to hear, simply looking down and quietly fiddling with the pen next to the document.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sheng Hong cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let's begin."

The assistant, having received instructions, stepped forward and pressed the page-turning pen. "The performance evaluation results for each department in the last quarter are out. The top-ranked department is the Performing Arts Resources and Economic Management Department, followed by the Operations Management Department, and then the Advertising Department."

These are the three companies that performed particularly well last quarter…

Before the assistant could finish speaking, the man who had spoken earlier slammed his hand on the table in excitement: "How is this possible?!"

"Why not?"

Xu Ran, the director of the performing arts resources department, pursed her red lips and slowly leaned back, crossing her legs.

"She was only recently transferred to the operations management department. Normal people haven't even gotten the hang of it yet. Who knows if the data is fabricated?"

Xie Jiuming was furious, but with so many people present, he had no choice but to sit back down.

"Is Director Xie feeling resentful because this young lady accomplished what he couldn't?"

Xu Ran smirked, making no attempt to hide the disdain in her eyes.

"Xu Ran, watch your mouth. What do you mean I'm not happy about it?"

"What, when did I ever say anything offensive? You're the one who's offensive, aren't you?"

The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give in. If it weren't for the many people watching, they would have practically started fighting on the spot. Yuan Siyin, however, kept her head down, looking at her reflection in the coffee, as if nothing had happened.

"Who doesn't know that Director Xie is the former director of the operations management department?"

After laughing enough, Xu Ran clicked her tongue twice and said, "Oh my, I really didn't expect that you would be transferred to the advertising department and still be third in line."

Xie Jiuming's face immediately fell. He was about to say something in retaliation when Sheng Hong, acting as peacemaker, stopped him: "Ahem, that's enough."

It's normal for people to be ranked in different places within a company. This data isn't static, so there's no need to get worked up about who's better or worse at the moment.

It's good that young people are competitive and willing to take risks, but they mustn't forget to put the company's interests first.

These words, seemingly meant to be impartial, actually favored Xu Ran.

At this moment, Yuan Siyin raised her long, bright phoenix eyes and led the applause: "What the chairman says is right."

People are prone to conformity; once someone starts clapping, the rest of the people immediately join in with a clapping chorus.

Xie Jiuming's face was almost contorted with anger, but he couldn't show it, so he could only clap along with resentment.

Sheng Hong nodded in satisfaction: "Assistant Qi has already printed out the evaluation data and placed it on everyone's side. The relevant resolutions and adjustments for the next quarter will be discussed in detail at tomorrow's meeting."
