Chapter 19 Bribery
Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the hot summer is about to pass.
I have been working with Meng Han for nearly half a year.
Over the past six months, Yu Huan's work has become increasingly smooth. Even those colleagues who were initially not optimistic about her and secretly wondered how long it would take for her to be fired, began to show their goodwill to her, overtly or covertly.
In the past, she was the one who took the initiative to greet others at work. Now, even if she walks on the street, colleagues will greet her from a distance when they see her.
Not only that, the small groups in the company also began to win her over, inviting her to dinner on weekdays and taking her out on weekends. She was almost becoming the company's favorite, and everyone wanted to get close to her.
These were easy to deal with. Yu Huan adhered to the three iron rules of no time, schedule, and boss looking for him, as well as the three principles of not knowing, not being clear, and not understanding, and rejected all their invitations and questions.
What gave Yu Huan the most headache was the solicitation of outsiders. Only then did she realize the weight of the burden on her shoulders as a close minister to the emperor.
Today a beautiful client asks her about Meng Han's hobbies, and tomorrow a rival company that wants to win over Yu Huan extends an olive branch to her.
Although their purposes are different, they have one thing in common: they are all very generous.
When Yu Huan received the bribe for the first time, she was the marketing director of a beauty brand and a very fashionable beauty.
Because of a joint planning, he met Meng Han and began to pursue her vigorously.
Although Yu Huan didn't know who came up with the idea of collaborating on grocery and cosmetics, the more outlandish things were, the better the response was, and almost all the products were sold out that time.
The marketing director also took this opportunity to enter and exit their company many times.
Meng Han is well-known for not being interested in women. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a talking piece of wood in his eyes and has no appeal at all.
When he received female clients, he would always ask Yu Huan to stay in the reception room with him. The pink bubbles emanating from them almost flooded the reception room, and even Yu Huan, the unsophisticated mother, was almost addicted. However, Meng Han's eyes remained clear and indifferent, without a single ripple.
The other party had no choice but to change someone else, so he turned his attention to Yu Huan.
When Yu Huan received her invitation, he thought it was work-related and went to the appointment happily.
For the sake of the company's image, she even went to a cosmetics store outside and spent fifty dollars to put on makeup.
When we arrived at the agreed place, she saw her at a glance in the spacious coffee shop.
She is really very beautiful and eye-catching at first sight.
"Director Wang, I'm sorry I'm late." She stepped forward respectfully.
Wang Xi smiled and waved his hand. "No, there are still a few minutes before our agreed time. I arrived early. Come and sit down. What would you like to drink? I'll order it for you."
The other party was too enthusiastic and easygoing, which made Yu Huan even more reserved. "I don't care. Any drink is fine with me."
"Okay, then I'll order you a cup of their new drink."
"Well, thank you Director Wang."
The beauty chuckled, "Hey, Secretary Yu, why are you being so polite to me? We've met several times, and we're friends now, so be more casual."
Having said that, Yu Huan wasn't stupid enough to actually believe it. The other party probably didn't even know her full name.
Which friends still call each other by their titles when they are outside?
"Director Wang is right. I don't know why Director Wang asked me to come out today..."
"Nothing special, it's just that after these few times of contact, I feel that your personality is particularly suited to my taste, so I want to get to know you better."
As he spoke, Wang Xi picked up a bag from his feet and pushed it in front of Yu Huan.
"This is for you. See if you like it."
Yu Huan looked at the bag in front of her. The familiar logo on it made her a little confused.
"This... is for me?"
Wang Xi rested his chin on his hands and looked at her with a smile, "Yes, I picked it especially for you, open it and see if you like it.
"No, no, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!" Yu Huan didn't dare to open it. As soon as the LOGO appeared, she felt that things were not simple.
Wang Xi pretended to be angry and said, "You should open it and take a look first. You returned it to me without even taking a look. It seems like you are letting me down a bit."
Yu Huan couldn't refuse, so she had to open the layers of packaging and take out the expensive bag.
When Yu Huan saw the bag, he realized that things were getting serious.
The bags in this shop are not cheap, but she thought that as a gift to a small secretary, the most she could get would be a bag worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which would be a compliment to her.
I didn't expect the other party to give me such an expensive bag.
Yu Huan considered this item when choosing gifts for his clients. It is worth more than 100,000 yuan.
She is now really glad that she has chosen gifts for Meng Han so many times, which allows her to recognize the value of these brands.
Otherwise, if it were her in the past, she would have thought it was something worth a few hundred dollars, and might have accepted it without thinking after being persuaded by others.
"Director Wang, this bag is too valuable. I really can't accept it." Yu Huan wrapped the bag as it was and pushed it back.
She looked embarrassed. "They say that giving gifts is a matter of give and take. You gave me something so valuable, and I can't give you anything in return."
Wang Xi pushed the bag over again. "Just keep it as a gift. I don't need you to pay it back! I don't need it. But..."
She raised her eyebrows and leaned over the table.
Yu Huan knew that this was about to reveal her true purpose.
"You've been with Mr. Meng for so long, you should know something about his preferences. We're friends now, so why don't you tell me about it?"
Yu Huan sighed inwardly. It seemed that she had overestimated herself. It turned out that it was not her who was worth such an expensive bag, but Meng Han.
She was already very skilled in dealing with this kind of situation. She looked at Wang Xi and spoke very sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Director Wang, I really don't know Mr. Meng's personal information."
"You know our President Meng. He's all about work, and he never says a word to me outside of work. Besides, I've only been there for six months, and I'm still a little scared when I see him. I don't dare ask about his affairs."
Wang Xi was very disappointed after hearing this, but then he thought that what Yu Huan said was right. Meng Han was like a piece of iron, invulnerable to swords and guns.
Even such a beautiful woman like her couldn't knock on his door, so it seems that this little secretary in front of him doesn't have that much ability.
But it doesn’t matter. Just because you don’t know now doesn’t mean you won’t know in the future.
"It's okay. Just work hard by Mr. Meng's side, and you'll find out later. Also, if anyone else appears around Mr. Meng, you must tell me immediately."
"This..." Yu Huan opened his mouth to decline, but the other party pretended to receive a phone call.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have an important job to do, so I'll leave first. I'll trouble Secretary Yu to take care of me in the future." As she said this, she patted the packaging bag containing the bag.
"By the way, your makeup is very beautiful today."
After saying that, she quickly left the cafe regardless of Yu Huan's attempts to keep her, leaving behind a stunned Yu Huan and the expensive bag.
