Summer in the capital is completely different from summer in Linzhou. The heat in Linzhou is like magical damage, while the heat in the capital is like physical damage.
It's only the beginning of May, but the sun is already very strong outside.
Tang Hanyan didn't stay at Song Qingyou's house for long; she went to a hotel the following evening.
Song Qingyou guessed that she couldn't get used to sleeping in the bed at home, but it was good that she left. She was quite unaccustomed to having a stranger living in her house.
After finishing breakfast, Song Qingyou went out. Dingsheng's new drug had been approved, and the next step was to launch it on the market. There couldn't be any mistakes along the way.
Moreover, today is also the day Dingsheng's branch was established, and Dingsheng's pharmaceutical research department is moving to a new building today, so she, as the boss, has to be there no matter what.
On this big day of the new company's founding, to welcome Song Qingyou, a group of assistants and secretaries stood in a row on the top floor of the president's office, waiting respectfully.
Xu Zhi from the secretariat whispered, "Do you know the background of our new president?"
My colleague shook his head.
Xu Zhi said, "She is the youngest daughter of the Song family, a true heiress. I heard that on New Year's Eve, she sent the entire Song family to jail, and in just one month, she revived the falling Song Group, with profits increasing by 15% compared to the same quarter of previous years. She looks delicate and weak, but her methods and abilities are so strong. She's amazing. I envy this kind of strong woman."
Xu Zhi is Yan Shaoqin's special assistant. When the branch company opened, Yan Shaoqin asked her to come and help.
My colleague had vaguely heard rumors about this Song family heiress, but she was too mysterious and even refused an interview with a financial newspaper. She had only joined the company this month and had never met this big boss before.
Just as everyone in the president's office was eagerly waiting, the doors of the private elevator slowly opened, and three men and two women walked out.
The man in the lead wore gold-rimmed glasses, had deep-set features, a very tall stature, and a powerful aura.
Xu Zhi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"So handsome!" Xu Zhi exclaimed, swooning. "Young Master Fu is redefining my understanding of handsomeness every day, and his physique is just amazing!"
However, before she could finish her reflection, the man stopped and reached out to help the woman who had arrived late from the elevator.
Xu Zhi's eyes lit up even more: "Miss Song is so beautiful! Her looks are out of this world! Waaah, is this face a goddess descended from heaven?"
The colleague thought Xu Zhi was a suck-up who fawned over anyone who had money. Suppressing his inner amazement, he said dismissively, "She's alright, nothing special."
Xu Zhi was speechless: "You call this okay? Are you blind?"
"..."
A cold laugh came from behind. It was Li Ru, who had been competing with Xu Zhi: "No matter how handsome or rich he is, he's not yours. You're just a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Xu Zhi wanted to argue with her, but Qin Yue stopped her with a look.
Qin Yue is the highest-ranking secretary and the person who personally mentored Xu Zhi.
She was pregnant and persevered until she was almost due, fearing that her position would be taken over after she gave birth. Reaching a high position was difficult enough, but the requirements for women were even higher. Even though she was pregnant, Qin Yue dared not relax for a moment.
Unexpectedly, two months before her due date, her mother-in-law caused a scene at the company, demanding that Qin Yue go home to rest during her pregnancy, saying that she would sue the company if anything happened to her eldest grandson.
After two talks with Qin Yue, she finally decided to take maternity leave.
With her gone, someone has to take her place.
There are a total of sixteen secretaries who can enter the president's office. This time, six people are competing for Qin Yue's position. Xu Zhi is the least senior but the one Qin Yue trusts the most.
Qin Yue wanted to promote her, so she made an exception and allowed her to participate in the election.
This caused dissatisfaction within Group A's secretariat, who would frequently try to sabotage Xu Zhi.
Li Ru was naturally involved in this as well.
As for who will be selected, that's up to Song Qingyou.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Zhi received a notification that she and the others were to go to the top floor for a personal interview with the president.
Xu Zhi stood in the huge office, even her breathing had to be careful.
Song Qingyou sat at her desk, her expression cool and focused as she diligently processed the documents.
The young CEO Fu who came with her earlier was nowhere to be seen; only CEO Song was sitting in the office.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Qingyou finally looked up from the documents and glanced at everyone.
The tone of his voice was gentle and tranquil.
"The middle person stays, the rest of you go out."
They didn't even conduct an interview; they just randomly picked someone.
Xu Zhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, sensing the jealousy in the eyes of others.
How come I ended up standing right in the middle?
Li Ru's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Xu Zhi with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her alive. However, this was the president's office, and no one dared to act rashly. No matter how angry she was, she could only leave first.
Xu Zhi stood there anxiously, and seeing that Song Qingyou had no intention of continuing to speak, she wisely stayed to the side.
During this time, Xu Zhi went out to make herself a cup of Americano, and returned just as she finished processing her documents.
The temperature was just right, no sugar was added, and the coffee was finely ground.
Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow and put down her cup: "A general meeting will be held in ten minutes. All senior executives must be present."
"Okay, Mr. Song." Xu Zhi asked, "And the content?"
Song Qingyou: "Regarding the group's new product development direction for the next quarter."
Xu Zhi nodded: "Okay."
Song Qingyou flipped through Xu Zhi's resume, which was filled with several pages of certificates and awards she had received in recent years.
Yan Shaoqin, this special assistant, is indeed quite capable.
"Remember to tell Qin Yue to prepare the materials needed for the meeting," Song Qingyou said.
Xu Zhi nodded in agreement, carefully closing the door as quietly as possible.
As soon as she stepped outside, her colleague pulled her aside and excitedly asked, "Congratulations, Xu Zhi! This is an opportunity that so many people would kill for, and you just managed to snag it."
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "It was just a lucky coincidence."
Her colleague gave her a big hug: "You've been working overtime until late every night this year, and you work harder than anyone else. Although you've only been with the company for a short time, your abilities are much better than Li Ru's. Everyone can see that. How could it just be luck?"
Xu Zhi patted her on the back: "Thank you, you're the first person to congratulate me."
Her colleague let go of her: "Then you have to treat me to a big meal tonight to celebrate your promotion."
Xu Zhi: "Okay."
"Li Ru, if you learn more about how to flatter people, you could get promoted within a year." The person making the sarcastic remark was Song Shan, Li Ru's suitor. Li Ru didn't like him but kept him hanging on, but Song Shan was happy to do so and was willing to stand up for her.
This kind of situation is common, so Xu Zhi didn't bother with it. She raised her eyes and said, "Are you talking about Secretary Qin or President Song? Or is that how you see them?"
