As soon as Jiang Qing returned to his office, the president's secretary sneaked in.
He tapped his finger lightly: "Zhu Ya, what are you doing sneaking around like this?"
"Shh!"
Zhu Ya closed the door as quickly as possible.
She smiled ingratiatingly.
"Assistant Jiang, what just happened? Why was Secretary Zhen suddenly dismissed?"
The scene just now completely stunned their entire CEO office.
The WeChat group was flooded with messages, with everyone speculating about the reasons for Zhen Xiao's sudden dismissal.
Some people have also speculated that Zhen Xiao was probably kicked out by CEO Huo after her attempt to seduce him failed.
However, everyone kept this to themselves and no one dared to speculate, after all, Zhen Xiao had a powerful background and influence.
Everyone laughed it off and moved on.
Zhen Xiao's uncle is a shareholder of the Huo family.
They're having fun in the group chat, but what if they get retaliated against after Little Huo returns to Huating? Who will they complain to?
Unable to suppress their curiosity, the CEO's office had just selected her, a nobody, to come and gather information.
Seeing Assistant Jiang's usually gentle expression turn unusually serious, she felt increasingly less confident.
"Is it a secret? Can't I tell you?"
Jiang Qing: "Why can't we say it? President Huo will announce it later."
"Oh, is it that serious?"
Zhu Ya's expression was somewhat blank, and she retreated.
She forced a smile, her expression bitter: "Assistant Jiang, please pretend I was never here, I'll be leaving now."
"etc!"
Jiang Qing glared at her, annoyed.
"I'll go with you!"
Only a novice who has just graduated from school less than a year ago would dare to take on such a task at this time.
He was the first to leave his office and walk to the president's office.
Zhu Ya looked disgusted and followed him timidly, not daring to utter a sound.
As soon as Jiang Qing entered the president's office, the room, which had been buzzing with discussion just moments before, fell silent.
"Assistant Jiang, you look so upset, what's wrong?"
General Secretary Wei Yuyan smiled sweetly and stepped forward.
She was a veteran in the president's office, having worked at Huo's for seven or eight years, and her seniority was no less than Jiang Qing's.
However, with each new emperor comes a new court, and she was also mindful of this sensitive moment.
Jiang Qing glanced at her and smiled faintly.
"General Secretary Wei, it's good that you're here. I have something to announce."
He looked at the employees in the president's office with a cold expression.
"I know you're all wondering why Secretary Zhen resigned. I'll tell you the reason now: Zhen Xiao made improper advances towards the president, and was fired on the spot! Do you understand?"
Most of the female secretaries in the president's office looked at each other, wondering if they were plotting something against the president.
Jiang Qing looked at Wei Yuyan.
"Secretary-General Wei, you still need to properly train your subordinates. Make them think clearly about what they should and shouldn't do."
Wei Yuyan almost burst out laughing. So, he's got ulterior motives? He's really messed up.
Zhen Xiao, with her proud and arrogant nature, probably felt like dying right now.
She suppressed a laugh and nodded, "I understand!"
Now that things had been explained, Jiang Qing didn't linger and turned to leave the president's office.
Standing behind Jiang Qing, Zhu Ya patted her chest and tiptoed to her workstation to sit down.
Wei Yuyan glanced in her direction, a slight smile playing on her lips, and coughed softly.
“You all heard what Assistant Jiang just said. I’m warning you again: put away your frivolous thoughts and stop having any ulterior motives.”
"See what happened to Zhen Xiao? If you think you're younger, prettier, or from a better family than Zhen Xiao and want to wade into these deep waters, you can go ahead and try. I can't stop you. But let me be blunt: if that day ever comes, please resign first and don't tarnish the reputation of our CEO's office!"
Her gaze fell on her gossipy secretaries, and she suddenly felt that what she had said might have been somewhat superfluous.
Sure enough, as soon as she returned to her seat, a buzzing sound immediately began beside her.
She opened the message, and gossip immediately spread throughout all the groups. She couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead!
Jiang Qing had just posted an announcement in the company group chat when someone got so angry they almost smashed up the office.
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Rongxing glanced at the aunt and niece who were sitting on the sofa, sobbing uncontrollably.
“What’s there to cry about? I stopped you all before, I told you several times that Huo Zhongyuan is a heartless bastard. Who listened to me? Now you’re coming to my office to cry, what good will crying do?”
"That can't be done!"
Jiang Nan wiped away her tears and spoke between sobs.
"Posting this in the company's group chat, isn't that a deliberate slap in the face? What did Xiaoxiao do to him? She just stood next to him, and that's considered harassment? Is she a prostitute? Why doesn't he call the police!"
"Alright, stop crying and sobbing, what kind of behavior is this?"
Rongxing pinched his forehead in annoyance.
"Don't complain to me. How about I take you to the president's office and you go and cry to Huo Zhongyuan?"
Jiang Nan paused for a moment, then launched into another tirade of complaints.
"How can you be Xiaoxiao's uncle? Xiaoxiao is in such a shameful situation, and instead of helping her, you're kicking her when she's down?"
"When did I kick someone when they were down?"
Rongxing frowned, glanced at Zhen Xiao whose eyes were red and swollen from crying and who was still sobbing, and decided not to continue criticizing her.
He sighed.
"Xiaoxiao, things have already come to this, so don't dwell on it too much."
"Here's what we'll do: you go back to Xincheng for a while, and then return to China once things have calmed down."
Who would have thought that Huo Zhongyuan would act so decisively, showing no mercy to others?
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bring this matter to the forefront to demand an explanation.
He glanced at Zhen Xiao with pity!
I wonder what kind of person Huo Zhongyuan's lawyer girlfriend is, that she wouldn't even be interested in such a beautiful woman.
He snorted coldly, wondering how long this novelty would last!
"President!"
Jiang Qing knocked cautiously and entered the office.
"You were looking for me?"
"Um!"
Huo Zhongyuan looked up at him.
"Book me the earliest flight back to Huating."
What about me?
Jiang Qing stared at him expectantly.
"You will remain in the North City."
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at Jiang Qing, whose expression had instantly darkened.
"I've already had Zhong Yan hand over his work. He's expected to return to China early next month, and then you can go back to Huating!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Qing was instantly fully recovered.
In terms of status, Beicheng is definitely more important than Huating, but their Jiaming Investment Bank headquarters is in Huating. Being far from the headquarters means leaving the center of power, and he doesn't want to leave his current team.
