Upon hearing this, the people at the table displayed various expressions.
They all knew that before Shang Wu and Zhou Yanci got engaged, this famous, devoted, and domineering CEO of Lincheng had a girlfriend named Chen Mian.
It is said that when their relationship was stable, a wealthy second-generation overseas man began to pursue Chen Mian intensely.
At that time, Zhou Yanci was not yet Chengzhou's heir. It seemed that Chenmian was attracted by the man's wealth and better future than Zhou Yanci, so she resolutely broke up with him and went overseas.
However, some people say that the reason for Chenmian's disappearance is not because of this, but because Zhou Yanci has known Shang Wu since she was a teenager. Even though she was in a relationship, she couldn't let go of Shang Wu, her childhood sweetheart, which is why they separated.
In short, there are many different opinions from the outside world, and over the years no one has dared to mention this past event or the story of the deceased within the group.
Now, Ji Yu is actually publicly recommending Chen Mian for promotion.
Doesn't she understand the relationship between Chenmian and Zhou Yanci?
The expressions on everyone's faces varied.
Ji Yu shook her head: "I, I don't know. I didn't know she was Chen Mian. A Wu, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Shang Wu looked at her calmly: "No, I can keep my personal and professional life separate."
Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, are you going to consider her? The international student group is not to be underestimated. At this time, love affairs, exes and current partners are not so important, right?"
One sentence put Shang Wu in a dilemma.
Disagreeing and asking her to stay asleep makes it seem like she's bothered by her fiancé's ex, and that she's petty and narrow-minded.
If she agrees, Ji Yu and Shen Mian will achieve their goal of deliberately making her feel disgusted.
That's a really good suggestion.
Even Aying couldn't stand it anymore. She stood behind Shang Wu and smiled softly.
"Designer Ji, the other party is President Zhou's ex-girlfriend. Collaborating with her rashly may cause gossip."
Ji Yu's face darkened; she hadn't expected this little minion to suddenly interrupt.
"Besides, she runs her account overseas. Our jewelry business is currently focused on the domestic market, so there's really no need for us to hire her for promotion..."
Bang!
Before Aying could finish speaking, Ji Yu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, staring at her expressionlessly.
"I was discussing this matter with Director Shang, what right did you have to interrupt? A lowly assistant with no say in the matter, do you even have the right to offer opinions?"
Everyone who heard this was somewhat disapproving.
Even if Shang Wu and Ji Yu from the jewelry department are the main force behind this, and they are only playing a supporting role, it doesn't mean they can be insulted or treated like human beings.
The jewelry department would not function properly without anyone.
Besides, no matter what, Aying is Director Shang's secretary.
In terms of position and influence, they were a level above ordinary employees like them. It was really too much to be mocked and given the cold shoulder by Ji Yu to their faces.
Several people showed expressions of subtle sympathy for Ah Ying.
Ah Ying's face looked grim.
She bit her lip, indignantly saying, "I was just thinking about the company and the bigger picture. What's wrong with expressing my opinion? I'm also a member of the jewelry department..."
Snap!
This time, Ji Yu raised her hand and slapped A Ying hard across the face.
Ah Ying's head was turned to the side after being hit, and a handprint instantly appeared on her face.
She covered her face, her eyes reddening, and stared at Ji Yu in disbelief.
This was the first time she had encountered something like this, and she didn't know what to do.
Shang Wu immediately grabbed her and looked at Ji Yu with a cold face.
"Are you ever going to shut up? Who gave you permission to hit people like that!"
Ji Yu was stunned.
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at A-Ying and then at her.
"What are you talking about? Aren't you on my side in this matter?"
Shang Wu pulled A Ying behind him.
"Even if you disagree with her, you have no right to hit her, especially since she's also a member of the jewelry department. How can you just hit and verbally abuse a colleague? Apologize immediately!"
She rebuked him sharply, showing no respect for Ji Yu in front of everyone.
Ji Yu's face immediately darkened.
She sneered, "So what if she doesn't apologize? Why should I apologize? Who does she think she is!"
“You are my secretary, and as your superior, I should be your peer. You shouldn’t treat me like this. I apologize.”
Shang Wu's tone became even more sharp, carrying an unyielding and domineering air.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and relief.
As everyone knows, Shang Wu and Ji Yu have a very good relationship; they are like sisters.
Their ten-year friendship is a well-known and admired story within the company.
It's truly rare for Shang Wu to stand up for justice and criticize her best friends at a time like this.
Aying watched Shang Wu from behind, so moved she was about to cry.
Ji Yu, exasperated, questioned, "Shang Wu, are you really going to treat me like this for this little vixen?"
Shang Wu remained cold and unmoved: "You made a mistake and should apologize. I have always kept my work and personal life separate. As your superior, don't you even have the right to uphold justice?"
Ji Yu was speechless.
She sneered, "Fine, fine! You're right! I've figured it out now, you've been dissatisfied with me for a long time, haven't you? That's why you're using this opportunity to treat me like this!"
Ji Yu stormed out in anger.
Work in the conference room was interrupted.
Shang Wu took A Ying's hand and checked her injuries.
"Let me see." Like a caring older sister, she gently turned A-Ying's face towards her.
After seeing her injuries, Shang Wu couldn't help but frown.
She said unhappily, "The injury is a bit serious. If we don't apply medicine, the swelling might get worse. Someone, please take her to the company's medical room to get it treated."
Tears welled up in Aying's eyes as she looked at Shang Wu, wishing she could give her life for her.
"Thank you, Director, thank you for speaking up for me."
