Chapter 28 Jiang Shibai gave her confidence
Both of them enjoyed the meal, and when it was time to pay the bill, the waiter handed it to Jiang Shibai.
Jiang Shibai glanced at the bill with a lazy look on his face, and said with an ambiguous smile, "My wife paid."
When a couple eats out, the wife pays the bill in all likelihood. The financial power of the family is in the hands of the wife.
The feeling of being spoiled by a wife is indeed different. Jiang Shibai automatically ignored the original intention of this meal and regarded it as a candlelight dinner for him and Xu Xian.
Xu Xian didn't notice the slight smugness in his heart, took the bill and paid it.
The next second, a message popped up on Alipay, indicating a payment of 100,000 yuan. The zeros at the end made Xu Xian's hands tremble.
She looked at the name of the transferor and found it was Jiang Shibai, so she gave him a puzzled look.
Jiang Shibai slowly put away his phone, the smile in his eyes not fading. "Mrs. Jiang's attendance bonus has been deducted by the company, and Mr. Jiang will give it to you."
"Mr. Jiang, this is a bit unnecessary." Xu Xian thought Jiang Shibai was being too strange. If he really wanted to return her perfect attendance award, couldn't he just pay for the meal directly? Why go through all the trouble?
"Let's put one thing at a time." Jiang Shibai did not explain.
Xu Xian didn't bother to guess, his eyebrows curved and he smiled, "Boss Jiang is very generous."
Compared to her 1,000 yuan for perfect attendance, 100,000 yuan was a hundred times more, and she made a fortune.
Jiang Shibai smiled but said nothing.
If you are stingy with your wife, you will be lonely for the rest of your life.
Secretary's Office
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Tu, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you will take minutes of the meeting together. Each of you will be responsible for the content. Today's meeting is the group's monthly regular meeting of all departments. I don't need to say much about its importance. Don't be careless." Hu Yuanshan assigned tasks to the secretaries with a stern face.
Xu Xian nodded along with the other two. After Hu Yuanshan left, the three of them had a discussion and each took charge of recording different sections.
Not long after the discussion, everyone went to the large conference room downstairs. The meeting had not yet started, but there were quite a few people sitting in the conference room, which could accommodate more than a hundred people, and they were talking to each other.
The conference room is mainly black and white, simple and clean. The oval layout allows for an extremely wide field of vision, and the large projection equipment happens to face the main seat.
There was no seat for the secretary. Xu Xian and the other two sat against the wall next to the projector, turned on their computers, and prepared to record.
"Xu Xian, what a coincidence!"
A familiar and artificial voice interrupted Xu Xian's action of inserting the USB drive. A slender hand with red nail polish appeared in front of him. When he looked up, Lin Pingwan's arrogant and proud face came into view.
Before Xu Xian could speak, Lin Pingwan covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Oh my! You're not doing as well as before! You've only become a meeting recorder, unlike me who has been steadily promoted and now has the qualification to report on work."
As he spoke, he leaned over to Xu Xian and whispered, "You were so arrogant back then, and now you're hiding in a corner crying, right?"
When Xu Xian left the development department, he made some harsh remarks, which really made her worried for a while, but after two months without her causing any trouble, she knew that she was a paper tiger.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Xian's eyes. He clenched his fingers slightly and pretended to be calm. "Don't bother Sister Lin about this. If Sister Lin is free, I don't mind chatting with Mrs. Shi."
The fact that Lin Pingwan is Shi Quan's lover is no secret in the development department, but as far as she knows, Shi Quan's wife does not know about it, and Shi Quan is a son-in-law. If his wife knew about Lin Pingwan, the mistress, you can imagine how exciting it would be.
"You—" Lin Pingwan's breathing stagnated, her face filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You dare."
"Do you think I dare? I'm not from the development department now, and your backers are out of reach." Xu Xian had a smile in his eyes. Although he raised his head and looked up, his momentum was not inferior at all.
Empathy is the most taboo in the workplace, and people tend to stay out of things that don't concern them. Even though she looked down on Lin Pingwan for destroying other people's families, she never thought of exposing it to Shi Quan's wife. After all, it had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, Shi Quan is her immediate superior. If she informs on him, he can fire her the next moment. The relationships within the group are complicated. If she goes to the secretariat, Shi Quan can also get rid of her in revenge for Lin Pingwan's informing on him.
But the situation is different now. She has someone backing her up. Even if this person is in the dark, she is fearless.
Jiang Shibai gave her confidence.
Lin Pingwan glanced around, afraid that Xu Xian would do something desperate, so she could only glare at her and leave angrily.
Tu Xue, who was confused by this, patted Xu Xian's hand and signaled her to calm down.
Xu Xian forced a smile, signaling that she was fine, and continued to work with his head down.
The conference room was almost full of people. When there was only one minute left before the meeting started, Jiang Shibai brought Wang Bai in.
His face was calm, and there was no expression on his handsome face. He looked completely different from Xu Xian in private. His dark gray custom-made suit was tailored to fit him well, highlighting his superior figure.
He walked to the main seat without looking around, unbuttoned his suit, sat down calmly, and his every move was dignified and elegant.
"Let's start." Jiang Shibai raised his hand to check his watch, then glanced around the conference room. His indifferent eyes stayed on Xu Xian's position for two more seconds, then quickly moved away, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Xu Xian noticed his gaze and blinked slightly.
This was the first time I noticed that Jiang Shibai was quite handsome. His demeanor as a superior was fully embodied. When his aura was fully on, no one in the conference room dared to look at him twice. They either lowered their heads or looked at the projection screen.
She seemed to suddenly understand why everyone said Jiang Shibai was cold and ruthless, serious and cautious, and meticulous. It turned out that there was a clue.
"The R&D department will give a work report first." Wang Bai said, controlling the progress of the meeting.
The reporter from the R&D department stood in front of the projection screen, holding a laser pointer, playing the PPT and giving an oral report.
"Last month, the R&D department developed two new products and upgraded five products. They are..."
Throughout the entire process, Jiang Shibai had a calm expression and almost no facial features. He would not interrupt the reporter easily, but would wait until the entire report was completed before asking questions or pointing out mistakes.
Xu Xian had never attended a large-scale meeting of the group before, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit cold. It was not that no one expressed their opinions, but that everyone seemed to be afraid to breathe.
She clearly saw that the man reporting from the R&D department relaxed visibly after he said the last word, and looked cautiously at Jiang Shibai in the main seat, waiting for his question.
Jiang Shibai's cold voice rang out, "The MRI upgrade only adds one function, but this function is completely incapable of supporting a comprehensive product upgrade. Do you think the hospital will buy it once it's produced? If you give me something like this, I'll have to consider replacing my R&D staff."
"The company has invested a lot of money in research and development, not to let you retire there. There's no need to use this kind of data to justify the company."
A few words, neither light nor heavy, silenced the whole audience.
The R&D manager's face visibly blushed, and he stammered, "Boss Jiang, don't worry. I'll go back and make the changes immediately. I guarantee you and the company a satisfactory result next month."
Jiang Shibai has been in charge of the American branch for the past two months, and the group has indeed relaxed a little. He has noticed the slackness in the R&D department.
"Yeah." Jiang Shibai's expression remained unchanged.
The R&D department passed the meeting smoothly and immediately moved on to the next department's report. It was not until halfway through the meeting that it was the Development Department's turn to report on its work.
Lin Pingwan is not just a pretty face, she also has some tricks up her sleeve. Except for being nervous when facing Jiang Shibai at the beginning, which caused her to stutter in the first two sentences, her subsequent reports were very smooth.
The excellent performance of the development department in the past two months made her report almost a breeze, until Jiang Shibai suddenly interrupted her when it was almost over.
"stop."
The bland word made Lin Pingwan suddenly silent. Xu Xian, who was originally recording the content of the meeting, typed the last word and looked up in confusion.
