Chapter 1018 Extra 15: Dealing with the Flirts
Zhuang Yue's heart skipped a beat, but at the same time, he felt that the boy was ill-mannered. Didn't his mother teach him that children shouldn't interrupt when adults were talking?
What does that sneer mean?
It made her feel a little embarrassed.
She didn't think that her thoughts could be understood by a five-year-old child.
"Aunt."
Huo Yanche walked up to her and asked, "Why do you want to report to my father alone? If you were in the marketing department, you would also report to your boss after you went to the subsidiary. The general manager of the subsidiary will report the situation to the group. How can you, a deputy marketing manager, have the qualifications to report to the group president alone? If I remember correctly, this is called skipping the level of the chain of command. Aren't you afraid that your boss will give you a hard time? Or do you want to use my father's reputation as a shield for you in the subsidiary?"
Zhuang Yue was shocked and felt guilty.
How could this five-year-old child say such a thing?
He was so articulate that it was almost difficult for her to handle him.
"Kid, I...that's not what I meant. People always subconsciously want to find more layers of security for themselves. I hope to help Mr. Huo solve his problems and I also want this path to go more smoothly. You're still young..."
"I'm five years old, and I understand the twists and turns between you adults. Auntie, let's be honest. Are you attracted to my dad?"
Zhuang Yue's face flushed instantly, she was embarrassed and angry.
She bit her lip tightly.
When the child asked this, she didn't know how to answer.
Before coming to the president's office, I never thought that such an accident would happen.
"Young Master Huo, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Huo is a family man. You can't assume every time you meet a young girl that she has intentions towards your father. So far, we have only talked about work, and I haven't overstepped the line."
Zhuang Yue said righteously.
She couldn't let Huo Xingzhou discover her intentions.
It’s hard to say whether I can stay in Tianyuan Group like this.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "I hope you mean what you say."
"Auntie, stop quibbling. We all know what you're thinking. Otherwise, why would Dad transfer you for no reason? He's giving you another chance because you still have the ability. And because you only talked about work and used your position to do nothing else, he's leaving you a way out."
"I……"
Zhuang Yue stared at Huo Xingzhou with wide eyes.
Did this man already know this?
From the moment of the transfer, it was a game.
She never had a choice: either go to Pingcheng or quit. Zhuang Yue couldn't help but shudder. She was actually trying to be clever, thinking that her little trick would definitely not be discovered.
It's getting really awkward now.
Even a five-year-old could laugh at her.
"If you don't want to go to Pingcheng, you can go through the resignation procedures. The company will give you some compensation..."
This was the last sentence Huo Xingzhou said to her.
Zhuang Yue also knew very well that after she went to Pingcheng, there would be no hope for her to return to Haicheng.
Thinking back to what she had said in the office today, every word was like a slap in the face. She thought she and Huo Xingzhou were just dealing with each other, a transaction. They couldn't be said to be evenly matched, but they could still pull each other back and forth.
But he didn't expect that he was a clown, and his ugly side was exposed from the very beginning.
People didn't expect that she would be exposed directly and given a way out.
But she just wouldn't give up and was determined to force the other party to break the window paper. She almost called her shameless.
Zhuang Yue's eyes turned red, and she covered her cheeks, knowing that she was embarrassed. Without saying anything, she pushed open the door and ran out.
If she stayed any longer, she would probably want to crawl into the ground.
The child looked at his father and said, "Dad, I still think you're being too kind. She wants to take Mom's place, so why give her a promotion?"
“She didn’t want to be replaced.”
The world of children is often seen in black and white, and those with bad intentions will be beaten to death. But at Huo Xingzhou's age, he already knew that there was a transitional area between black and white.
Zhuang Yue just had some thoughts, but his actions did not cause much trouble to others, and he did not even take any action.
A gentleman is judged by his deeds, not his heart.
If we judge everything by one's heart, there may not be a single good person in this world.
"I think she just wants to be my stepmother."
No matter how smart Huo Yanche was, he couldn't understand Zhuang Yue's thoughts. Knowing that he had a wife, why did she still try to get close to him? It's not like she was incompetent, right?
"Let's deal with this now. Don't tell your mother. She gets jealous..."
"I know, I won't tell you."
He won't cause his mother any more trouble. Let him and Qianqian deal with his father's bad romantic affairs outside.
"Let's go. I'll let Zhou Yu take you home. I have a lot of things to do this afternoon and won't be able to take care of you."
"Let Uncle Zhou Yu take me to the Chinese medicine clinic. I want to see my mother work."
"Okay."
…
Zhuang Yue ran back to the marketing department crying, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Is this a reprimand?"
"It seems like he went to see Mr. Huo with the manager this morning. Mr. Huo isn't the kind of man who's gentle with women. He was probably reprimanded for some oversight at work. It's perfectly normal. Who among the management hasn't been scolded by Mr. Huo? I heard that Mr. Zhou gets scolded all the time."
"Why is Zhuang Yue able to report to the manager? She's only been here a few days. Does she have some connections?"
"I don't know, but I heard some news when I passed by the manager's office yesterday. It seems that Zhuang Yue is going to be promoted. Come to think of it, we have been in the company longer than her. We are really lucky."
Some people showed concern when they saw Zhuang Yue crying, while some people were secretly happy and wished she would be fired as soon as possible.
Zhuang Yue returned to his workstation on impulse, turned on his computer and wrote the three words "resignation letter".
She was too embarrassed to see Huo Xingzhou again.
But the other party had saved her a bit of face by not keeping the marketing manager. If that were the case, she wouldn't even want to stay in Haicheng.
Her fingers tapped on the keyboard.
He wrote one cliché after another, stating the reasons for his resignation.
But she couldn't bear to leave her good job at Tianyuan Group. Her parents knew she was being valued at the company and wanted to treat them to a meal. Joining Tianyuan Group was more honorable than getting into a key university; it meant a bright future.
There are also many relatives who try various ways to introduce her to potential partners. Those people may not be as wealthy as the second generation, but at least they are middle class.
The conditions are pretty good.
Zhuang Yue stopped and deleted every line of text.
She wiped her tears, stood up and went into the marketing manager's office.
"Manager, I've figured it out. I want to go to Pingcheng, and I'm willing to accept the company's assignment."
The manager paused, "This...why are you saying this now?"
Zhuang Yue felt nervous, "Did something unexpected happen?"
Mr. Huo is unwilling to give her this opportunity?
