If it weren't for Song Mai's matter, what else could have made Zheng Yao so angry with Fang Yu?
"Did you see her touch my USB drive?"
Although Lin Ran had great suspicions about Zheng Yao, she couldn't lie about this.
"No."
She paused for a second, then immediately continued:
"But there couldn't have been anyone else but her. I'm certain that only she came near your table. She even wiped up the water that had spilled on your table. Unfortunately... unfortunately, she was very quick, and I didn't pay close attention to her movements at the time."
At this point, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If she had been more careful at the time, perhaps this incident could have been avoided.
It's not like Zheng Yao can always easily set up a plan.
As she recalled Zheng Yao's every move after spilling water on Song Mai's table, an idea began to form in her mind.
Zheng Yao attracted so much attention, was it just to use everyone to create a moment of proof for herself in advance?
Once this idea came to her, Lin Ran became increasingly convinced that it was true.
She told Song Mai her thoughts, and Song Mai thought they made sense. However, no matter what, it was just a guess. There was no evidence, so it couldn't be used to expose Zheng Yao. In fact, saying it would make people think that she was deliberately trying to smear Zheng Yao.
Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh: "So what do you plan to do?"
Song Mai leaned against the bed, looking at the streetlights downstairs that flickered on and off, her eyes filled with an unreadable color.
Let's take it one step at a time.
After this experience, she didn't want to be at the mercy of others anymore!
The next morning, Chu Xing left early as usual.
The morning air still carried the lingering heat of late summer.
Song Mai opened all the windows in the room to let in some fresh air, prepared a simple breakfast for herself, and then rode her electric scooter to work.
According to the plan, after she entered the company and put her things down, she should first go to report to the manager.
However, Fang Yu was unusually absent from his office that morning. When she was about to knock on Fang Yu's office door for the third time, the president's secretary called out to her first.
"Songmai".
Song Mai turned around, puzzled, and was met with the smiling, beautiful face of the president's secretary.
"What's up?"
She remembered that the president's secretary never came here.
The president's secretary affectionately put her arm around Song Mai's shoulder:
"You're so low-key. President Han wants to see you. Come with me."
Song Mai didn't know what had happened, but seeing the president's secretary's unusually warm manner, she guessed it couldn't be anything bad, so she was half-pulled and half-dragged along.
Song Mai thought this was just a simple work report, and assumed that Fang Yu was not there, so the president wanted to hear the report in person. Therefore, she nervously recited the prepared words to herself several times on the way.
However, when the door to the president's office was opened, it was found to be packed with more than a dozen people.
Besides the company president Han Shanyu, there were also managers from various departments, including Fang Yu.
Upon seeing Song Mai arrive, Han Shanyu quickly pointed to the chair opposite his desk:
"Please sit down."
The president's secretary, with great perceptiveness, poured Song Mai a cup of tea, then quietly closed the office door and left.
Song Mai looked at Han Shanyu cautiously, her mind full of questions but she ultimately didn't ask them.
It wasn't until Han Shanyu spoke first that the conversation truly began.
"The organizers of this conference told me that you are very professional and meticulous. As soon as the conference ended yesterday, the organizers called me to praise you highly. They even renewed their contract with the company for another two years because of this, and specifically asked you to take charge of similar work in the future."
Hearing these words, Song Mai finally felt relieved. After a few humble words, she honestly gave a report on her work during the business trip.
She had a clear understanding of the situation, and since she had already written a work summary during her business trip, her presentation was smooth and fluent.
Han Shanyu couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Song Mai, while at the same time looking at Fang Yu with a hint of reproach:
"Manager Fang, no offense, but why have you never mentioned such a capable employee in your department? If the conference organizer hadn't told me, wouldn't our company have been burying such a talented person?"
Fang Yu's expression was not good.
He was fully aware of Zheng Yao's underhanded tactics, and knew that she was going all out this time, hoping to strike hard and make Song Mai make a big mistake, preferably getting fired from the company.
During the three days that Song Mai was away on a business trip, he did not contact Song Mai, and Song Mai did not contact him on her own initiative.
Although he suspected that Song Mai might have come up with some way to solve the problem, he didn't expect her to handle it so well.
Not only did it not cause any dissatisfaction from the organizers, nor did it delay the work, but the organizers even took the initiative to praise it. How did they manage to do that?
However, since Han Shanyu had already said this much, he couldn't help but continue.
He could only force a smile and say:
"I'm still too young and lack the ability to judge people. I still need to learn from President Han in the future. If you were Song Mai's manager, you would have been her mentor long ago."
Fang Yu's words were eloquent; with just a few words, he made Han Shanyu, who hadn't blamed him at all, very happy.
"You, no one can match your mouth."
Then Fang Yu glanced at Song Mai without making a sound, his eyes filled with a scrutiny that was hard to detect, but on the surface, his eyes still looked like they were smiling.
"How come I never realized you were so capable? You handled such a tricky job with such ease. It's my fault as the manager; I underestimated your abilities."
Song Mai pursed her lips, her expression indifferent.
"You flatter me."
She didn't say much, but when she heard Fang Yu mention the phrase "hidden talent," Song Mai had a vague feeling that Fang Yu wasn't unaware of the matter.
Han Shanyu praised her for a while, and finally, because she did a good job and helped the company renew the contract without any effort, Han Shanyu gave her a large bonus, and implied that he wanted to promote her to deputy manager of the Spanish department.
She will manage the Spanish department's operations, while Fang Yu will be responsible for the other tasks.
When Song Mai heard about the bonus, her eyes lit up involuntarily, but she remained remarkably calm when she learned that Han Shanyu intended to promote her.
Han Shanyu was amused by her straightforward and honest reaction.
"What? You're not happy about the promotion?"
Song Mai frowned, her heart filled with worry.
If she becomes the deputy manager, wouldn't she be unable to continue working on the project?
Wouldn't her commission also be lost?
