Chapter 2 She Doesn't Have the Capital to Be Willful
Lin Pingwan's cheeks turned red and she was stunned. She had not expected Xu Xian's action at all.
When she came to her senses and wanted to stand up and pull back, Xu Xian grabbed her wrist tightly. She lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "If you dare to speak out, the worst that can happen is that we will both die together."
If Lin Pingwan has the courage to send her to a man's bed, she must bear her dissatisfaction and anger.
Compared to losing her virginity, two slaps were better than that.
The eerie voice sounded like the whisper of evil spirits from hell, luring the plump food into the abyss. Lin Pingwan was stunned for a moment and could only stare at her unwillingly.
She really couldn't say anything, or even fight back. Although Xu Xian wouldn't gain any advantage by calling the police, she would also get into trouble.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xu Xian's eyes. He shook off the wrist and clapped his hands in disgust, as if he had just touched something dirty.
"I hope Sister Lin will take care of herself. I'm a barefoot person and I'm not afraid of people wearing shoes."
After saying that, Xu Xian looked back at the people watching the show with a smile on his face, his red lips slightly parted.
"Aren't you guys working?"
The tone was apparently gentle, but for some reason it sounded creepy.
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience became busy, making phone calls, sending messages, and handing over documents. The office was peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
The office was full of shrewd people. Seeing that Lin Pingwan did not fight back and was willing to swallow her anger, they knew that something unknown must have happened between them.
The two have recently been following up on a large order for a new product, which might be related, and they don't want to get involved in muddy waters.
Xu Xian forced herself to sit down at her workstation with a strong breath, her fingers trembling slightly. She closed her eyes, but before she could digest her emotions, the female colleague at the next workstation came over, her eyes full of gossip and a hint of gloating.
"What's going on between you and Sister Lin? Didn't you close the deal last night?"
Xu Xian opened his eyes, a chill in his eyes. He glanced at her coldly and said quietly, "Are you so curious? Then go ask her. She knows more details than I do."
Colleagues cannot talk to each other from the heart, because as soon as they say something, it may spread like wildfire.
The female colleague was choked when she saw the thorn in her words. She turned around angrily and went back to work, but she was secretly complaining in her heart.
She didn't offend her? She took her anger out on her. No wonder she has bad relationships with others. Even if she has strong abilities, she is still not liked.
Seeing this, Xu Xian raised a sarcastic smile and immediately turned on the computer to work. He must have lost the order from last night, as it was just the finishing touch.
She needs to find new customers to discuss this newly launched medical device and promote cooperation, otherwise she will not get the bonus and will have to eat dirt this month.
Before the new customer was locked in, Xu Xian received a meeting with the department manager in the afternoon.
"Xiao Xu, how long have you been in the Development Department?" Department Manager Shi Quan asked with a smile, leaning back in his office chair.
Xu Xian, who was sitting across from him, didn't understand why, but answered truthfully, "It's been more than two years."
She has been working at Jiang's Group since graduation, which is two years and three months in total. As the leader in the domestic medical device industry, the benefits here are impeccable.
This is also why she gave up design upon graduation and joined the development department of Jiang Group. As long as she has strong abilities and can negotiate a cooperation, she can make a lot of money quickly.
"Then you should be familiar with the internal operations of the group." Shi Quan smiled unchanged.
Xu Xian suddenly smelled a hint of danger. There were only two possible outcomes when a leader talked to his subordinates: a promotion and a raise, or a demotion and a pay cut.
She had just had a conflict with Lin Pingwan in the morning, and Lin Pingwan was Shi Quan's lover. Was she going to use this as a reason to fire her?
Thinking of this, she answered cautiously and ambiguously, "I understand it quite well."
Shi Quan straightened up upon hearing this, his tone brightening. "I've seen your work ability, it's excellent. The president is currently short of a secretary, and the HR department is looking for someone, but they haven't found a suitable candidate. I think an internal promotion might be more suitable. I'm familiar with the head of the HR department, and I can speak on your behalf. This is a great opportunity for advancement."
"Not everyone has the opportunity to interact with senior leaders. Would you consider this?"
Xu Xian suddenly clenched her palms, her round nails digging into the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.
I heard that being promoted from a salesperson in the development department to a secretary in the president's office is a promotion. I can meet all kinds of big bosses and learn a lot, which will be beneficial for my future development.
But for her, it would be better to resign.
After all, a secretary's salary is a fixed salary, which is not as much as the bonus for successfully negotiating a contract.
Shi Quan talked to her today, clearly wanting to support Lin Pingwan. If she didn't agree, he would fire her for other reasons later, or force her to resign.
In short, she can forget about staying in the Development Department.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but the screen of the mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up. The hospital bill list on it made her regain her sanity, like a basin of ice water pouring over her from head to toe, chilling her to the bone.
She doesn't have the capital to be willful.
The employment situation is tight now and it is not easy to find a job.
"Thank you Manager Shi for your trust and support. I'm willing to go upstairs." Xu Xian forced a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Shi Quan saw that she was sensible and said, "Xiao Xu, when you become a leader in the future, don't forget me, your former leader."
Xu Xian said politely, "You're too kind. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, she took her cell phone and walked out. Her palms were cold. After taking a deep breath, she walked straight to Lin Pingwan's workstation.
Her every move was seen by everyone in the office, and almost everyone stared at her, thinking that she was going to slap Lin Pingwan again.
Lin Pingwan stood up directly, ready to go, staring at Xu Xian intently.
Xu Xian found it funny to see her face like she was facing a formidable enemy, but he stopped a meter away from her and said with a smile, "Thank you for giving me the chance to turn things around. Don't wait for the day when I control you."
After saying these harsh words, she left to hand over her work, completely ignoring how ugly Lin Pingwan's expression was.
She would rather lose the battle than the loss of the person. Even if she left the development department, she would make Lin Pingwan live in fear.
A secretary is more inclined towards administrative support and office management and has no real power, but a special assistant is different. If she wants to move up, she has plenty of ways to do it. In the Development Department, with Shi Quan suppressing her, she would definitely not be able to make a breakthrough, but that is not necessarily the case now.
This was the result she came up with after calming down, and she also wanted to thank Lin Pingwan for giving her the opportunity.
Two months later
Hai City entered early autumn in October. The autumn wind was cool and short-sleeved shirts and autumn clothes were mixed together on the streets. At first glance, it seemed as if they were not in the same season.
Xu Xian turned on his computer and filed the contracts he had signed over the past two days. His secretary, Tu Xue, held up her phone and said excitedly, "Xianxian, check your phone! The president is coming back."
"Hmm?" Xu Xian looked up blankly, his expression slightly bewildered. "So sudden?"
"The matter of the American branch should have been resolved, but he came back so suddenly without any news." Tu Xue looked through the small group chat run by their secretary and scrolled up.
Xu Xian blinked twice and didn't take it seriously.
Two months ago, she was transferred to the secretarial office, and it happened that Jiang Shibai, the president of Jiang Group, was out of the country. It seemed that there was internal turmoil in the overseas subsidiary, so he went to take charge.
She never had the chance to meet Jiang Shibai in person, and it was not her turn to record the video conferences with the head office. As a result, she had never even met the president even though she wanted to stand out.
The harsh words I said in the development department that day were like a joke.
Including her, there are six secretaries in the secretariat's office, one secretary-general and one deputy secretary-general, and the rest are ordinary secretaries. She has the least experience and can only help out and do some trivial things.
But now that President Jiang is back, maybe he can show off his skills.
