Chapter 75 Pulling "I don't need your stuff."...

"It has something to do with you."

How could it have nothing to do with her? His property was all hers.

At this moment, Jiang Zongye's attention was not on the password he was about to change, but on Qiao Ruoying's slender fingers grasping his wrist. Her fingertips were slightly cold, and they passed over like listening to a drop of water.

It was so cold that he wanted to hold her hand, warm it in his large palm, and pass his warmth to her bit by bit.

Perhaps his gaze on her fingers was too obvious. Qiao Ruoying reacted instantly and actually... put her hand on his wrist.

She quickly let go of him, but she didn't know where to put her fingers. She was as awkward as a little squirrel jumping on a pine tree.

Jiang Zong also saw her in a panic and inexplicably found her cute, with the corners of his lips unconsciously raised.

Qiao Ruoying caught the smile on his lips, thinking he was gloating over the physical contact. She couldn't help but snort and said, "Don't be so pretentious. I just accidentally touched you."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Zong also clenched his fist and put it to his lips to hide his smile.

"I know, Yingying didn't mean it."

“…”

Why does it feel like he doesn't believe at all that she didn't do it on purpose?

"Let's get back to business."

Jiang Zong also put away his smile, stroked her furry head, and whispered, "Whether it's the previous password or my current password, you know it. You can also use everything I lock with a password."

Hearing Jiang Zong say this, Qiao Ruoying, who had been suppressing her emotions all the way, finally couldn't help it.

Jiang Zongye...did he not take the breakup seriously?

Who would set their ex-girlfriend's birthday as their password?

And let his ex-girlfriend use his money, his resources, and all his property?

"I don't need your things." She said angrily.

"Be good, there will always be a place for you to be useful." Jiang Zong also smiled, not minding her little temper. He lowered his head to check the time on his watch, "I'll take you upstairs."

Her newly rented small apartment was on the 15th floor, and Jiang Zong also sent her to the 15th floor. He watched her open the door before going downstairs.

He has another social engagement to attend.

Qiao Ruoying stood in front of the carpet at the entrance of the small apartment, her slender back pressed tightly against the aluminum alloy door panel, until the metallic coldness of the door panel penetrated into her body through her coat.

Is the elevator already going down?

Jiang Zongye got into the car again and went to the garage?

She imagined his departure bit by bit, the emotions in her heart surging like bubbles in lemon tea.

The entanglement between them is complicated and cannot be sorted out.

She wanted to stay away from him, but Jiang Zongye tried hard to hold on to all the connections they had established before, like holding on to the tow rope of a sailing ship, not letting her leave.

-

On Sirius 5. Old Li was driving to Biostar International when he suddenly heard Jiang Zongye's quiet voice from the back seat: "Go back to the group headquarters first."

Old Li quickly turned around and headed back to the headquarters building until the building's majestic fountain came into view. Old Li wondered if Mr. Jiang had forgotten to take some documents.

Going back to the office to get the documents?

But usually when someone forgets to bring a document, Mr. Jiang would ask his special assistant Li to handle it. Why did he come back by himself today?

Old Li didn't know that Jiang Zong didn't come back to get the documents.

After getting off the car, Jiang Zongye went straight to the administrative office with a clear purpose. At this time, most of the employees in the company had gone home, and the corridor was sparsely populated.

Pushing open the door of the administrative office, Jiang Zongye looked towards Qiao Ruoying's desk.

He thought that the Floyd he gave her must have been placed neatly on the table. As for the bouquet of sunset orange roses, it should be thrown into the trash can.

Unfortunately, his eyes scanned every corner of her table like radar, but he didn't see Floyd's beautiful rose-red hair.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the floating platform, where the rich, flowing red ridges stood, set against the molten gold of the sunset, that he realized that the flowers he had sent and those sent by the frail rich second-generation boy had been "exiled" there by her.

Why didn’t Yingying put his flowers alone on his workstation?

Jiang Zong also noticed this and was in disbelief. His flower was also exiled.

Does this mean that Xiaoying is too lazy to bother with them?

Jiang Zong also frowned.

Until he came to her workstation, imitated the state of her studio, sat in her chair, raised his head, and looked at the floating platform——

I just happened to see the top of the flower made up of Floyd's roses, which looked like a thick, rose-red cloud, or like a mountain peak covered with red clouds.

It turned out that this was the effect when she looked at the roses he gave her at her workstation.

From this angle, the bouquet of sunset orange roses is completely invisible.

After discovering this little secret, Jiang Zongye raised his thin lips into a beautiful arc, and felt genuinely happy.

The next day at work, Qiao Ruoying specially brought a vase to the office.

The shape of the vase resembles a woman in a black umbrella skirt spinning in the wind, forming a circle; the jet-black color seems to be flowing on it, reflecting a bright circle of light under the lamp.

She and Yuan Yiyi fell in love with this vase at first sight when they were shopping.

The vase is so exquisite and gorgeous, it must be suitable for growing Freud roses.

After bringing the vase to the company, she took out five flowers from the large bouquet that Jiang Zongye gave her, put them in the vase, and moved it to the table.

In the past few days, Jiang Zongye and Wang Zhi both knew that the other was pursuing Qiao Ruoying, and they were openly "rivals in love".

The fight between the rivals was extremely intense. Both of them put in a lot of effort to send flowers to their beloved girls. Within a few days, the large floating platform in the administration department was filled with flowers.

The flowers are competing for beauty on the floating platform, and colleagues can smell the rich fragrance when they push the door open.

If you send me a bouquet of sunflowers, I will send you a bouquet of cornflowers; if you send me a bouquet of lisianthus, I will send you a bouquet of Chinese lisianthus. Jiang Zongye and Wang Zhi both showed the momentum of "either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind", and they were determined to compete to see who was better.

"What flowers will Xiao Wang and Boss Jiang give to Queenie today" has become a hot topic among employees every day during this period.

Xiao Tang, Xiao Liu, and Du Xinrong were also very gossipy. Seeing that the Freud that Jiang Zongye had given her was taken down by Qiao Ruoying and carefully placed in a black vase on the table, they couldn't help but shout:

"Wow, it seems Xiaoying still has more feelings for the big boss!"

"Today again, President Jiang wins and Xiao Wang loses."

"Xiao Wang has lost five games in a row!"

They kept teasing each other like this, and Qiao Ruoying was so embarrassed that she chased after them and punched them.

The end of the year was approaching, and time flew by. The Taehyung Group had a tradition of adjusting personnel arrangements at the end of the year, and the employees, while joking around, waited anxiously and excitedly for the changes within the group.

After the performance review meeting on Monday, the group decided that Lily, who was formerly the administrative director, would be transferred to the Hwaseong branch as a senior executive, and Qiao Ruoying, a new employee who had just joined Taehyung for half a year, would replace Lily's original position and be promoted to the head of the administrative department.

Since the group standardized its corporate employment regulations, no employee has had such a "rocket-like" promotion.

Qiao Ruoying's rapid promotion surprised everyone in the group, from the top management to the grassroots employees.

But... considering the recent scandal between Jiang Zongye and Qiao Ruoying, everyone understands: it must be that Boss Jiang still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend and cares about her.

Some group veterans also advised Jiang Zongye not to openly "open back doors" for people with connections, and not to act too hastily, so as not to hurt the hearts of diligent employees.

This veteran of the group was also "taking advantage of his seniority". Relying on the fact that he and Jiang Sheng founded the group together and had pioneered it, he openly raised objections at the meeting and slapped Jiang Zongye in the face.

Little did he know that Jiang Zongye immediately slapped his palm on the rosewood conference table, his dark eyes turned sideways, and he said coldly:

"Uncle Yuan wants to retire. I will ask the human resources department to handle your retirement procedures."

“…”

Seeing that his own interests were being harmed, the elder was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

Those who wanted to persuade Jiang Zongye again shut up when they saw that the group's elders had been frustrated.

This was exactly what Jiang Zongye wanted.

He was "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys." He knew some people would be dissatisfied, and whoever was dissatisfied would jump out first and be killed like a monkey. The more he "killed," the fewer people would dare to criticize Qiao Ruoying.

Moreover, Jiang Zong also thought that he had been sitting in the position of the top leader, working tirelessly, balancing the interests of all parties, and being fair and just over the years, wasn't it just so that he could "indulge" at the critical moment?

Now, he feels it's his "moment of indulgence."

Besides, isn’t Qiao Ruoying diligent?

Is she not serious about her work?

Doesn't she deserve the position of Chief Executive?

He dared to say that she worked harder than 99% of the group's employees.

After the announcement of Qiao Ruoying's promotion to the head of the group's administrative department was made, grassroots employees were in an uproar. Most employees were just a little jealous, after all, they also saw Qiao Ruoying's dedication to her job.

However, some people with small minds secretly envied Qiao Ruoying and started to make sarcastic remarks:

"Ah, after working hard for a year, I'm still not as good as others who climb into bed."

"Exactly. Why? So many people are more qualified than her, why should she be promoted?"

"Those with connections should just get out of here."

...

But these messy rumors were completely suppressed by Jiang Zongye before they even reached Qiao Ruoying's ears.

Since he dared to promote Qiao Ruoying to a high position, he had made all the necessary preparations. He knew that some people were talkative and would be dissatisfied if they saw Yingying get any benefits. It didn't matter. Their core interests were in his hands, and he could make them obey.

Therefore, Jiang Zong also specifically instructed the head of the human resources department to invite anyone who dared to talk about Qiao Ruoying to "have tea". If necessary, it would be reasonable to fire one or two people.

This time, Jiang Zong was too lazy to use any "soft" tactics, so he decided to be decisive and powerful.

Sure enough. The afternoon the announcement was made, those who had been gossiping behind the scenes were called into the HR office for a "tea." The HR representative had their labor contracts on their desks and issued them a warning for "making radical remarks that undermined company unity."

Those who still don't listen after being warned will be fired directly.

For the small group of people who dislike Qiao Ruoying, badmouthing her is certainly satisfying, but what happens after the pleasure is over? Will they give up their jobs? Will they give up their livelihoods? Will they give up the generous benefits offered by the group?

Where else can I find a high-quality job of the same level if I leave Taehyung?

Therefore, the gossips soon died down. Others who wanted to talk about Qiao Ruoying also shut up when they saw the gossipers being invited for tea.

The malicious rumors gradually died down.

Not only that, Jiang Zong also sent a message to comfort Qiao Ruoying: "You have been promoted to the position of administrative director. It is normal for some people to be jealous of you and slander you."

"Don't pay attention to what they say. They won't hurt you. If someone really bullies you, just tell me and I'll take care of them."

At that time, Qiao Ruoying had just come out of the conference room. She was still confused about being promoted to the head of the administrative department and had no practical understanding of it when she received the news from Jiang Zongye.

She browsed the messages he sent and felt warm in her heart.

The scene at the meeting just now flashed through his mind. At that time, Jiang Zong was also dressed in a suit and tie, sitting at the head of the long conference table, his lips curled up, his face calm and solemn.

She thought he was serious about presiding over the meeting, but she didn't expect that he would secretly send her messages under the table.

Boss Jiang would also do some tricks in meetings, and he did it for her. It felt like he was making an exception for her.

She was a little bit touched by the sweetness.

Like tasting honey on the tip of your tongue.

People's hearts are all made of flesh.

Seeing how good he was to her, it was impossible for Qiao Ruoying not to be moved.

She stopped at the elevator entrance and replied, "I know. I will try my best to block out their negative comments."

Qiao Ruoying knew that sometimes a person's growth lacked a platform and resources. Jiang Zongye had already built a platform for her and fed her with resources.

Now that she has been fed, she will eat a few more bites.

At the same time, she also told him her concerns.

"If you put me in this position, I'd be scared too. I'd be afraid I wouldn't do well and cause losses to the company."

It also embarrasses you.

She had typed the latter sentence into the chat box, but deleted it before sending it.

This sentence is still too intimate to be said now.

But she had already made a secret decision in her heart: since she had taken this position, she must hold on to it and do it well, and she must not bring shame to Jiang Zongye. Not only must she not bring shame to him, but she must also make some achievements to make Jiang Zongye look good.

Over there, Jiang Zongye had already replied:

Jason: "Don't worry, I've got everything arranged. I've assigned two capable assistant managers from the Administration Department, Mary and April. You already know them. They'll teach you what to do and how to do it in this position, and they'll support you wholeheartedly."

Hearing Jiang Zong say this, she felt relieved. Her thoughts surged, and many things from the past seemed to be connected together:

She remembered that Jiang Zong also taught her how to choose a villa and how to deal with the service provider;

She remembered him taking her to the dinner party and telling her what to pay attention to at the dinner party and the attitude and expression she should show.

Suddenly, a thought popped up in my mind: Jiang Zongye... has been training her?

What exactly did he want to raise her to be?

-

In the next few days, Qiao Ruoying and Lily coordinated their work, and Lily cleaned up the office bit by bit to make room for Qiao Ruoying.

The administrative director's office faces south and has a very wide floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out, you can see the vast sky and the skyline of the city center with tall buildings. The skyscrapers are like a steel forest. At night, the facades are lit up with bright lights, as if the ground is covered with gold.

A cardboard box was spread out on the off-white tile floor.

Lily, the administrative supervisor whose real name was Li Man, was slowly putting things into a cardboard box. It was Li Man who had taken the initiative to apply for the position of vice president at the branch office.

Since there is no hope of marrying David, for the sake of her career, Li Man plans to go down and gain experience for a few years and then transfer back to the headquarters.

At this time, the doorbell rang and a sweet female voice sounded.

"Sister Lily, congratulations on your promotion. I believe you'll have great potential at the branch office. I'll be keeping you connected with me for the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Man raised her eyes, thought for a moment, and recognized that it was the girl Qiao Ruoying, and felt a little surprised.

This sentence was spoken fluently, with a steady breath and without any mistakes, making it pleasant to listen to.

In Li Man's opinion, Qiao Ruoying's progress is enormous.

From a girl who would get so nervous that she would blink when she looked her boss in the eye, to a professional woman who can now firmly take on the position of administrative director, Li Man sighed that Qiao Ruoying is not only a promising talent, but is also being personally trained by Jason, so her growth rate is very fast.

After a few more years of experience, she would probably become an outstanding woman who could dominate the workplace. Thinking of this, Li Man was quite looking forward to it.

The connection between the two of them went exceptionally smoothly. How could it not be?

Li Man was very sharp-eyed and could tell at a glance that judging by Jiang Zongye's attitude towards Qiao Ruoying, Qiao Ruoying would most likely be the wife of the group president in the future.

Could she not do Qiao Ruoying some favors?

"The funding for these two proposals is already in place, but we still need to go through some formalities and procedures. Jason specifically instructed that once you take office, you must complete these two proposals."

Li Man handed the two documents to Qiao Ruoying and explained them to her in detail.

Qiao Ruoying took the document and looked at it. One of the proposals was one she had proposed five months ago: to provide better benefits to the company's cleaners, security guards, and other employees, including a rest area for them. The other proposal was to purchase and replace the mainframe computers for the workstations in Buildings 2 and 3.

"These two proposals are likely to win the hearts of the people. This is Jason paving the way for you to secure your position." Li Man gently patted Qiao Ruoying's shoulder to remind her, and in her heart she was also amazed at Jiang Zongye's thoughtful consideration.

Jiang Zongye, it is definitely not as simple as just promoting Qiao Ruoying to a higher position.

He had carefully considered how to help her secure her position as a supervisor, win the support of her colleagues, and gain the genuine love of her employees.

If this isn't a man's love for a woman, then what is?
