The assistant told Gu Fanyan that the project was divided into more than a hundred sub-projects. Today's meeting was attended by the project manager of the shopping mall, and the project managers would be invited to speak one by one and share their views.
Gu Fanyan whispered, "Oh no, I just got back and haven't had time to do my homework yet."
The assistant shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go up and give the report later."
At that moment, a woman with a capable demeanor and beautiful appearance walked in from outside, holding a stack of documents, and stood at the front of the conference table.
Shengxin.
"Distinguished delegates, good morning," Sheng Xin's voice was full of confidence: "I am Sheng Xin, the special assistant to the project general manager. Let me first distribute the agenda for this meeting to you."
After some time, she had actually joined the Lin family business and become their special assistant.
So, who is the project manager?
Gu Fanyan looked around but didn't see Lin Zhibai.
Logically, Lin Zhibai should also be sitting at the conference table waiting for the meeting to start, just like these project managers.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Soon after, Lin Zhibai entered the conference room, followed by two assistants.
But the assistant didn't have any documents in his hands.
Sheng Xin pulled out the chair at the very front of the conference table: "Please, General Manager, have a seat."
Lin Zhibai nodded slightly, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he said, "Good afternoon, everyone. The board of directors has made a new decision. Starting today, I will serve as the general manager of this project."
Everyone nodded in agreement; everyone knew Lin Zhibai's identity.
However, some people are wondering why Lin Shao was appointed as the general manager when this project was a collaboration between the Lin and Gu families.
Meanwhile, the eldest daughter of the Gu family was sitting on the side of the conference table, in the capacity of a project manager!
"Everyone," Sheng Xin said loudly, "According to the meeting agenda, please proceed with your project presentations in an orderly manner."
The meeting officially began.
It took more than two hours for all the project leaders to finish their reports.
Lin Zhibai called out the names of the responsible persons and asked them a few questions.
He then said, "I understand the situation. I will send a work email to everyone on behalf of the project team before midnight tonight. Thank you all for your hard work, please go back now."
After saying that, Lin Zhibai got up and left, with Sheng Xin and the other two assistants following closely behind.
The people present didn't leave immediately. They all knew each other and wanted to get some information out of each other.
"Young Master Lin is quite something. He didn't make things difficult for us at his first meeting after taking office."
"This is nothing. Everyone has only just started writing the project proposal, and we're already sending emails on the same day. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise when we get to the actual implementation stage?"
"Miss Gu, are you also under Young Master Lin's jurisdiction?" someone suddenly asked.
All eyes immediately turned to Gu Fanyan, with many people eager to see what would happen next.
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly: "Young Master Lin is more capable than me."
With a single, gentle word, the malicious intentions of those people were exposed.
After saying that, she got up and left with her assistant.
Stepping out of the conference room, I saw Lin Zhibai still standing outside, giving instructions to his subordinates.
He looked at her, his gaze lingering and somewhat lost in thought... He stopped what he was saying.
His subordinates also turned their heads.
Sheng Xin was also there, her eyes shining especially brightly.
She pretended not to see them and walked past them.
After a moment, Lin Zhibai's voice rang out: "...Every opinion must be sent to me first, and only after I confirm and sign it can it be sent out..."
After getting into the car, Gu Fanyan casually asked, "Didn't you all know that Lin Zhibai has been appointed as the project general manager?"
The assistant replied, "There wasn't a hint of it. None of us expected it... I guess everyone thought that Young Master Lin's father would be the project manager."
Another assistant said, "Something's not right. Young Master Lin is actually lacking in qualifications to be the general manager. But this matter has been approved by the board of directors of both Gu and Lin's companies..."
Gu Fanyan also sensed something fishy was going on.
When she got home that evening, she wanted to ask her father about the matter, but as soon as she entered the house, she heard her mother muttering, "What does the Lin family mean by this? It's one thing to make Lin Zhibai the project general manager, but that Sheng Xin is their special assistant?"
"Who are they trying to disgust!"
"Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid Fan Yan will hear you?" Gu's father gently stopped him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fanyan withdrew the foot that had already stepped into the living room.
“This project involves a large investment, and both companies’ boards of directors have suggested that it would be best to let the younger generation of both companies take the lead,” Mr. Gu said helplessly. “Fan Yan has the ability but not the qualifications, and Fan Chu is even less qualified. Lin Zhibai has achieved some success…”
"As for the matter of the special assistant, I cannot interfere."
Gu Fanyan turned around and quietly walked away.
Meeting her parents at this time would not only fail to help them solve their practical problems, but would also force them to comfort her.
She was quite open-minded about not having the qualifications.
Qualifications take time to accumulate; it's her own fault for not working on that, and for the past few years she's only focused on being a pampered young lady.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Lu Dongjue calling, asking her to go out to dinner because he needed something from her.
The two met at a restaurant they frequented. After sitting down in a private room, Lu Dongjue took out a rather large jewelry box.
As soon as the box was opened, Gu Fanyan was immediately dazzled by the light of the gemstones.
This is a crown studded with various gemstones; it's clearly an antique piece of jewelry and quite old.
"You bought this?" Gu Fanyan asked. "You want Wanwan to wear it at the wedding?"
“It was given to me by Li Xiaoyun,” Lu Dongjue replied.
Gu Fanyan was stunned.
Li Xiaoyun somehow heard that Yun Suiwan had bought the Yun family's ancestral jewelry from the women of the Yun family, so she asked someone to deliver this to her.
Yun Suiwan glanced at the box only once before telling Lu Dongjue to return it, refusing to accept it.
Lu Dongjue went to see Li Xiaoyun, who said that this was a family heirloom of the Yun family. The old lady of the Yun family received it from her mother-in-law and then passed it on to her.
Originally, it was meant to be passed down to the daughter-in-law of the Yun family, but in this generation, there is only one eldest daughter, Yun Suiwan.
“Wanwan said that you originally prepared this for Yun Wanqing, but she doesn’t care for it,” Lu Dongjue said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but lower her eyes and shed tears, "I...I've been ruined by my husband in this life..."
After saying that, she knelt down before Lu Dongjue with a thud. "I have no face to make any requests, but this thing belongs to Wanwan, so please take it back to her."
Lu Dongjue didn't want to force Yun Suiwan to accept it, but he was also worried that she would regret it later. After thinking it over, he could only ask Gu Fanyan for a solution.
Gu Fanyan closed the box: "My suggestion is that you put it in a bank safe deposit box. Don't mention this to Wanwan again."
"You know how Li Xiaoyun has treated her all these years. Every time you bring it up, it's like reopening her wounds."
Lu Dongjue's eyes darkened: "She can't get over this hurdle in her heart, but she also wants a sense of fulfillment."
Just then, Yun Suiwan's voice rang out from outside: "Is it in this private room?"
Lu Dongjue glanced at the jewelry box, a hint of nervousness flashing in his handsome eyes.
Gu Fanyan had a sudden inspiration, grabbed her coat, and closed the box.
