Chapter 53 “Beep—Chairman’s ID card.”
Du Wanwan spent the entire night thinking about the metaphor of the "Sword Master Code" and finally came up with it.
The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and Du Wanwan didn't expect so many situations to happen one after another.
First, the harem system gave up on Xi Yimiao, then her own system suddenly appeared and knocked her unconscious. A series of unexpected events forced her to consider replacing her personal bodyguard. Unexpectedly, the final result of her words was a conversation with Pei Xingyao, who confessed his feelings and was unwilling to leave.
Du Wanwan thought that the matter was almost resolved at that time, but after Pei Xingyao left, she thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.
Although the conversation was open, she seemed to have pushed Pei Xingyao into a dead end, forcing him to suppress his feelings.
This suppression is almost at the level of "preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires."
This is not good.
I don't remember who told Du Wanwan that love is like the tide. If the source hasn't dried up, then it can't be stopped. Dams block rivers to form reservoirs, and they have to release water from time to time. Otherwise, even the strongest dams may be washed away by floods.
When that time really comes, the accumulated emotions will burst out like a flood, overflowing and submerging everything. It will be impossible to stop it and it will easily cause huge losses.
Therefore, emotions are like water, it is better to let them flow than to block them.
Oh, Du Wanwan remembered. It was the Neptune girl she had worked with in her previous life.
She said, "Emotions, especially love, are a particularly subtle and secretive matter. It's like a shade-loving plant that gradually moves towards the sun. It longs for light, for it to blossom and bear fruit. The moment it sees the sun is the moment of honest love. But after seeing the light, whether it can blossom and bear fruit depends entirely on the photosynthesis of both parties. Shade-loving plants, if exposed to too much direct sunlight, without rest at night, will definitely die and have no future."
"So, if you want to reject someone who truly likes you, but don't have the heart to kill them with one blow and destroy them emotionally, then always be open with their feelings and allow them to express them reasonably, with restraint, and slowly. If your feelings are unrequited but you're open about them, never overthink their actions. It's like the sun scorching a plant without a night to rest. Over time, these feelings will gradually fade."
These words left a deep impression on Du Wanwan, and she still remembers them. She thought they made a lot of sense and planned to apply them to Pei Xingyao.
Suppressing Pei Xingyao's feelings for her was like building a dam. If she suppressed it too much, Pei Xingyao might lose control of her emotions and have a complete breakdown. It's said that emotional trauma can be devastating. Du Wanwan had seen a girl who'd been heartbroken before. She was so devastated, she kept making mistakes and ended up getting fired, ruining her future.
It is said that some people even committed suicide for love.
Du Wanwan felt that with Pei Xingyao's seriousness, the emotional damage might be severe. Since she was the instigator and the culprit, she had to shoulder the responsibility of correcting him.
So Du Wanwan flexibly applied Neptune's theory, thought of the metaphor of Blade and Soul coding, and indirectly told Pei Xingyao:
I know you like me, and I've figured it out. As long as the actions you take because you like me don't cause me any trouble—be it personal, interpersonal or financial—as long as it doesn't cause any trouble, then you don't need to suppress it.
I understand.
But you have to understand that the reason it is called "trouble" is that the fundamental reason is of course that it is impossible for me to respond to your feelings.
If there is a response, it means that both parties are in love with each other, so what's the point of being troubled, right?
Du Wanwan felt that she had explained it clearly, and she also saw that when she finished speaking, Pei Xingyao instantly recovered from the tense and depressed state of "waiting for punishment".
He was no longer depressed, nor was he screaming with excitement. It seemed that he was still full of fighting spirit and ready to do a great job.
Good. Du Wanwan felt very relieved and gave herself a thumbs up.
Look, who says sword cultivators are wooden and don't understand love? When they meet someone they like, they either drag them to practice swordplay or mock their poor skills?
Didn't she handle her relationship problems quite well? She even saved a promising young man!
Since Pei Xingyao is so motivated, she can't give up!
Du Wanwan instantly switched modes and returned to work: "After I 'fainted' yesterday, what's going on in the company?"
Pei Xingyao was already prepared for the test and switched gears. "Since you fainted, two or three groups of people have been trying to inquire about your condition in different ways. Following your instructions, the board's office has given a unified response: 'The chairman is fine, just a little tired. Please refrain from making random guesses and spreading rumors.' But it seems no one believes it."
If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. She didn't want to deal with the others for the time being, so she wrote them down in a small notebook. Du Wanwan leaned back in the chair, her elbow resting on the armrest, her fingertips tapping the back of her other hand.
"What's happening with Yu Chong?"
"President Yu has been checking on your health and contacting everyone, so he hasn't been working." Pei Xingyao said, opening his tablet and scrolling through the message quickly. He then said, "President Yi is arranging for you to meet with Miss Shang Yunle. President Yu also knows about it and has been asking about the outcome. Since President Yu is so busy, according to your instructions, the Board Office has already instructed the Human Resources Department to complete the procedures for President Yu's position change."
Good, very good. Du Wanwan ordered the driver: "Lao Zhang, don't go home, go to Runjia Entertainment."
She also gave him an approving smile, which dazzled Pei Xingyao's eyes.
Jiangcheng is arguably the most prosperous city on the mainland, encompassing a vast expanse of land. Runjia Investment, one of the nation's leading conglomerates, not only has its headquarters in Jiangcheng but also boasts office buildings in several districts within the city, each of its five divisions maintaining its own office buildings.
The two major technology divisions' headquarters are located in the city's northern suburbs, in the Hi-Tech Zone. The logistics division's headquarters is in the eastern suburbs, adjacent to the port, airport, and ring road. Only Runjia Real Estate and Runjia Entertainment are located in the bustling commercial center, centered around the Runjia Investment Group headquarters, serving as a north-south connection.
Among them, because the entertainment industry is synonymous with decadence and extravagance, the Runjia Entertainment Group Building is located on the riverside in the city center, adjacent to the riverside pier and the largest river view hotel, making it convenient for hosting and participating in various events in the entertainment industry.
Such as film festivals, opening ceremonies, celebration banquets, etc.
It is said that unless you are a big shot in the company, you are not allowed to park in front of the gate of Runjia Entertainment Building. If you hang around the Runjia Entertainment Building for no reason, security will come over immediately to "ask" you to leave.
The unanimous explanation is that Runjia Entertainment boasts many A-list celebrities. With so many celebrities present, if anything were caught on camera and posted online, it would be a major public outcry.
In short, in this area, the mere mention of "Runjia" signifies wealth and luxury, something unattainable. If the heavens couldn't hear, even a cloud casting a shadow on the entrance to Runjia Entertainment would have been a warning.
Fortunately, Du Wanwan is not an outsider.
Yesterday evening, she had Pei Xingyao return to Runjia Investment headquarters to get her freshly issued Runjia Entertainment CEO badge. She drove to the parking lot below Runjia Entertainment and, with a simple card swipe, entered without hindrance.
Thanks also to Runjia Entertainment's superb privacy protection measures, Du Wanwan swiped her card, parked her car, and took a special elevator to the president's office without anyone in the entire Runjia Entertainment noticing.
Even when she took Pei Xingyao out of the special elevator, the beautiful employee she met was stunned for a while.
He didn't recognize her, and he didn't say a word. There was even a hint of impatience in his expression, as if he was saying, "Here we go again."
Judging from the situation, Yu Chong has frequently extended his presidential authority to his group of beautiful women, so the employees in the president's office were not surprised at all to see a strange woman walking out of the president's special elevator.
That's great. Du Wanwan nodded and walked towards the president's office.
The employee, clutching the folder and not knowing where to go, quickly turned around, walked over a few steps, and stopped her. He said politely and arrogantly, "Excuse me, Miss. Mr. Yu is not in the office. Do you have an appointment? If not, please make an appointment when Mr. Yu returns."
Good boy. Du Wanwan couldn't help laughing.
Pei Xingyao simply ignored her and made the employee give way with a subtle flick of his hand.
"Hey... wait!" the employees yelled, chasing into the president's office and raising their voices in anger: "Don't you know where this is? Can you just barge in? What if you leak business secrets? Be careful or I'll call the police!"
She had already walked into the president's office when she spoke. As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Xingyao just closed the door of the president's office with her backhand.
The bang startled everyone in the president's office.
Those who were putting on makeup, drinking milk tea, reading gossip, chasing TV series, and shopping online all stopped what they were doing and stood up together.
What a beautiful woman, each with her own charm.
No wonder Xi Yimiao chose to cooperate with Yu Chong. It turns out that Yu Chong himself has a harem in his office.
The employee closest to the door slammed her makeup mirror shut, raised her eyebrows, and cursed, "Where did you come from again, little slut? How dare you barge in here? Don't you even consider your status? Do you deserve it?"
"Pfft..." Du Wanwan laughed even more happily. She liked this kind of brainless guy. It was so easy to deal with him.
She deliberately asked: "Status...I wonder if the title of president is enough for me?"
What? Several employees were stunned for a moment.
Pei Xingyao showed the document with a red seal and the president's employee badge.
"As of 10 a.m. yesterday, the chairman of Runjia Entertainment Group, Ms. Du Wanwan, has assumed the concurrent role of president. Mr. Yu Chong has been demoted to vice president, taking responsibility for his actions. A notification emailed to the entire group at 11 a.m. yesterday regarding the relevant documents. What's with the Runjia Entertainment president's work attitude and efficiency? He didn't even receive any notification. I wonder if Vice President Yu has already made the position change?"
Several employees watched, becoming increasingly stunned. They stood there for a long while without saying a word.
Du Wanwan didn't have time to waste staring at them, nor was she worried that these employees would tip off the company, so she went straight to the president's office.
"Wait... wait a minute!" The employee holding the folder was the first to react. He ran forward and opened his hands to block the way. "You can't..."
"I'm the chairman of Runjia Investment and the president of Runjia Entertainment. This is my office. Can't come in? Are you kidding?" Du Wanwan glanced at her, her eyes as cold as a knife. "What's your name? What's your position? Why aren't you wearing your ID card during working hours?"
"I... I..." The employee instinctively backed down under her gaze, unable to utter a word, and was once again pushed away lightly but decisively by Pei Xingyao.
He raised his hand and used the Runjia Entertainment CEO badge to swipe open the door to the CEO's office, then pushed it open: "Chairman."
Several employees watched as Du Wanwan walked into the office, sat down on the office chair, and pressed the power button on the computer.
"What...what should we do?" The makeup employee pulled the online shopping employee's sleeve and asked in a low and panicked voice.
"Don't, don't worry. Lao Yu's computer has a power-on password, so she can't open it." The online shopping employee comforted her.
Runjia Investment Group allows employees to bring their own personal computers to work, but each workstation is equipped with an office computer. All office computers have a power-on password, and there are only two ways to unlock the password.
1. The only employee who knows the password.
Second, the direct supervisor or a higher-level manager can swipe the card to open the door. However, each time the card is swiped to open the door, it will be recorded in the office system, leaving a trace that can be queried and cannot be erased.
The purpose of this setting is to prevent data leakage, but also to prevent relevant staff from losing access to certain key information when employees are on vacation.
This office computer belongs to the workstation of the president of Runjia Entertainment, and it has the highest level of confidentiality in the entire Runjia Entertainment. Apart from Yu Chong, who knows the power-on password, no one in the entire Runjia Entertainment can open it.
They are very confident!
As soon as the online shopping employee finished speaking, the light on the display screen lit up. Du Wanwan took out another employee card and swiped it in front of the camera.
The flat, robotic female voice on the office computer said, "Beep—Chairman's ID card."
"......!" Several employees almost fainted on the spot.
Du Wanwan said regretfully, "Oh, don't you know I have two work badges?"
One is the president of Runjia Entertainment, and this is another one, which has the highest authority of the entire Runjia Investment Group and can open any office computer under Runjia Investment.
"this……"
Several employees retreated to the doorway, huddled together, and dared only to watch from afar as Du Wanwan clicked her mouse, browsing the contents of her computer in the CEO's office. Pei Xingyao, dressed in a black suit, looked cold and distinguished. He stood beside the CEO's office chair, his hands behind his back, like a guarding sword, his gaze radiating murderous intent.
Even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to come close!
They could only whisper, "What should we do..."
Finally, it was the employee holding the folder who made the decision: "What should we do? What can we, a few small employees, do besides cheer people up? Tell Mr. Yu quickly!"
Several people nodded, but they didn't dare to call in front of Du Wanwan. After thinking it over, they decided to block the way while a petite employee hid under the desk and called Yu Chong.
It took a lot of time to hide and dodge, and even after the call was connected, they didn't dare say much, for fear of being seen by the male assistant who looked like a spirit sword. Finally, as soon as the call was answered, the employee hung up and sent a pre-written text message to Yu Chong's WeChat.
[Canary 5: Mr. Yu, something's wrong! The chairman is here and is checking your computer! Come quickly!]
When he received the news, Yu Chong was having breakfast with the head of Lingshu Pharmaceutical Jiangcheng Branch, and he took the opportunity to ask why Du Wanwan went to see Shang Yunle and how Du Wanwan's health was.
He was smiling and gentle the previous second, but the next second his face changed drastically when he saw the message on his phone.
"Sorry, there's a problem at the company, I have to rush back immediately. My apologies."
Throwing down a few words, Yu Chong rushed out of the teahouse like fire and drove towards Runjia Entertainment Building.
Unfortunately, the place where we had tea was half an hour's drive from the Runjia Entertainment Building, and there was an inexplicable traffic jam on the way. When Yu Chong arrived at the company, he rushed directly to the CEO's elevator and pressed his thumb.
By the time he walked out of the elevator and rushed into the president's office of Runjia Entertainment, it had been an hour since he received the WeChat message.
The door of the president's office was open, and Du Wanwan looked just like he had seen her many times before, with a male assistant in a black suit and a cup of medicinal tea at his side.
The difference is that Du Wanwan was not looking at the documents from the group headquarters, but his computer.
"You...!" Alarm bells rang in Yu Chong's mind, and a question of blame almost came out of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Du Wanwan raised her head first, showing her signature friendly yet cold smile, and politely greeted, "Vice President Yu is here?"
Yu Chong had been running furiously, which was quite strenuous for someone his age. His heart was still pounding like a drum, and he didn't react to what she said for a moment. It wasn't until he heard the word "Vice President" that his mind suddenly buzzed, and she screamed at him:
Something terrible is happening!
He'd forgotten! His position had changed, and so had his authority! As soon as the meeting at the group's headquarters ended yesterday, the security guards took his employee badge away. He was in a hurry to get upstairs, so he couldn't swipe his CEO badge, so he just used his fingerprint.
However, for authorized elevators, records will be left in the office system after use.
Du Wanwan knew that he had come up in the CEO's special elevator. According to her tactics against Yao Kehan, the next second she would...
"Assistant Pei, call the security director and have him come over." As expected, Du Wanwan immediately said, "Ask him why Runjia Entertainment didn't follow the headquarters' regulations that only employee badges can be used for security and set up fingerprints for the security system."
Oh no! He'd deliberately timed things and skipped the process of going to headquarters to handle the position change, relying on Runjia Entertainment's security system's fingerprint verification feature. Even without his ID, he could still use the CEO's authority to come and go freely.
Unexpectedly, this became Du Wanwan's first attack on Runjia Entertainment Group!
"Chairman..." The sweat on Yu Chong's back almost soaked his shirt. He barely managed to hold his breath, but just as he started to speak, Du Wanwan smiled at him again.
"Look how anxious you are! Your position change procedures were completed yesterday, but Vice President Yu is so busy. We're both in Jiangcheng, and you didn't even have time to get your work badge. But don't worry, your new employee badge is here. Grab it first and report back to work."
As she spoke, she turned to the employees gathered at the door, "What are you all standing there for? Pour tea for Vice President Yu."
Yu Chong looked in the direction Pei Xingyao put it down, and saw a work badge on the table. The title and name on it were clearly:
Yu Chong is the deputy general manager of Runjia Entertainment Sub-Group of Runjia Investment Group.
He is just the vice president, not the financial director!!!
