Chapter 59 (Second Update) He had everyone in the conference room help him get the woman...
Branch office in the neighboring city
While everyone was engrossed in their work, Yu Jing suddenly came in and said, "Who among you sends things to the company all the time? The security guards say our department has the most stuff."
"I don't know, Mr. Yu, I didn't."
"I don't have any either."
Yu Jing stopped next to Liang Chaoluo, his tone sarcastic, "It says 'Liang Moumou' on it. Little Liang, you wouldn't happen to be you, would you?"
Liang Chaoluo was in a tight spot with the deadline fast approaching. He didn't even look up, his tone indifferent, "It's not mine." Then he continued working.
"What kind of attitude is this?" Yu Jing's face darkened, and he was about to lose his temper.
Wang Kang rushed to the rescue, saying, "President Yu, he's quite busy with work. The partner has been urging him many times, saying it has to be done by noon today. He's also a bit impatient due to the pressure of work."
Yu Jing laughed sarcastically, "Oh? It's due by noon today, and you're still rushing to finish it. That just shows your work ability is pretty average."
Liang Chaolu ignored him completely and focused on his work. After finishing, he rubbed his shoulders and asked, "Who was chanting in my ear just now?"
Wang Kang leaned closer and whispered, "Yu Jing, he asked if the package labeled 'Liang Moumou' was yours."
"It's mine, so what?"
Wang Kang looked around with lingering fear: "Keep your voice down, you just said you didn't know."
"Just teasing him." Liang Chaolu chuckled casually, his eyes turning cold. "Does he live in the Pacific Ocean? Why is he so nosy?"
He was very annoyed by Yu Jing, a person with no moral bottom line, and he didn't want to see Wang Kang being so cautious in front of Yu Jing, even though Wang Kang was clearly in the right.
In the past, he would have used his father's status to help Wang Kang get revenge.
But in the past few months, he's matured considerably and knows he can't act impulsively. If he did, he wouldn't be worried at all with Lao Liang backing him up. But Wang Kang is different; he'll eventually leave, and once he's gone, Wang Kang will be in trouble.
Unless he can resolve this matter for Wang Kang in a way that prevents future troubles, he will only cause more problems.
You can remember this for now; there's plenty of time to learn in the future.

In the office, Yu Jing was complaining to Director Yang about something.
"It still has to be related to your major. Look at that Xiao Liang outside. He said he graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in business administration. Everyone knows that business administration seems to cover everything, but in reality, he's not good at anything. He's a half-baked expert. He always drags out any work until the last minute, and his partners and clients are getting anxious."
Director Yang looked at him leisurely. "You mean Liang Chaoluo?"
"Yes, that's right." Although Director Yang was Yu Jing's direct superior, the two had known each other for over ten years and had some friendship, so he spoke more casually.
"Mr. Yang, doesn't our department have quotas for overseas assignments? Let's send that Xiao Liang out."
The salary for overseas assignments is high, and if it's to a developed country, it's a rare opportunity. But what Yu Jing is talking about is different; it's about going to a developing and underdeveloped country to help with its development.
For a recent college graduate from Jiangshi, it's no different from being sent to Ningguta in ancient times.
Director Yang glanced at him, her tone ambiguous: "Xiao Liang has a very positive attitude towards work. I've heard from other colleagues that he has a strong learning ability and is already capable of leading projects independently."
“Leading a project on his own? That’s an overstatement. That level of skill is something you’d only achieve after two or three years of full-time experience.” Yu Jing chuckled dismissively. “I’ve also observed him and found that he’s just using tricks to muddle through; his actual skill level is terrible.”
Yu Jing added fuel to the fire, saying, "Xiao Liang's family must be well-off. No wonder a recent graduate is acting like a spoiled brat in the department and showing no respect for the leaders. Since we need to send someone out for an overseas assignment anyway, we might as well arrange it for him."
Given his family background and education, he's unlikely to be satisfied with this job. Rather than having him resign, it's better to assign him to an overseas posting. Even if he can't handle it there and resigns to return home, headquarters won't let us fill the vacancy.
Director Yang took a leisurely sip of tea, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply said ambiguously, "I understand, you can go now."
He had worked with Yu Jing for so many years, and Yu Jing was considered one of his most capable generals.
When Yu Jing gets into disputes with others, he usually turns a blind eye. After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Compared to ordinary employees, he needs the productivity that Yu Jing brings him more.
But this time the situation is different.
The person Yu Jing dislikes is no ordinary person. In the entire branch, only Director Yang knows Liang Chaoluo's true identity. He has also been instructed by General Manager Liang many times to increase the pressure on Liang Chaoluo. Although he seems to be a newcomer to the company, every task he does is carefully arranged to help him grow quickly.
He had just received orders from headquarters to transfer Liang Chaoluo there.
Director Yang didn't show it on his face, but he was already looking for a new trusted confidant.
Yu Jing has offended Liang Chaoluo, so he's basically finished; it's only a matter of time.

After learning about the transfer to headquarters at noon, Liang Chaoluo immediately shared the good news with Shu Run.
Shu Run was naturally delighted to hear this. After her boyfriend was transferred back to headquarters, she thought he had gained his father's approval and his future was bright.
On the other hand, after her boyfriend was transferred back to Jiang City, they lived closer together and had time to meet during the week.
She was very happy when she was having a long phone conversation with Liang Chaoluo, but when she hung up, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
In the morning, my colleagues were talking about the industry downturn, and how several long-serving employees with ten years of service had been laid off this week.
This industry is very youth-oriented; once you reach middle age, you face the risk of being laid off. On the other hand, the rapid development of AI has also brought considerable challenges to this industry, making the employment situation even more severe.
Knowing this, the company has been emboldened to arrange overtime for them. From mid-October until now, overtime has become the norm, and they often don't get off work until eight or nine o'clock at night.
Feeling lost and confused after graduation, her aunt suddenly called her at this critical juncture, which only made things worse for her confusion and despair.
She said wearily, "Aunt, I really don't want to. I already have a boyfriend."
“Runrun, I’ve told you this many times already. This time, you absolutely have to meet him. And, I’m not kidding you, that young man is truly outstanding in every way. If you weren’t both graduates of Jiang University, we wouldn’t even have a chance.”
"Graduated from Jiang University?" Shu Run was a little skeptical. Her aunt had said the same thing last time, even though the person had only graduated from a university in Jiang City, her aunt had insisted on calling it Jiang University.
"This time it really is a Jiangda graduate, a little older than you, but a very handsome young man. I'll send you his photo and contact information now. You'd better make the most of it." Before hanging up, he chuckled, half-threateningly, "Don't try to fool me. I'll go back and check. If I find out you haven't added him, I'll come to your company..."
Shu Run felt a surge of frustration. What kind of blind date requires the woman to take the initiative to add the person on the other end? And what's with all this talk about making the most of it?
She now regrets telling the truth when her aunt asked her where she worked.
Given my aunt's temperament, if she hadn't added that guy, she really would have stormed into the company.
It's hard to imagine how embarrassing it will be.
Shu Run knew that she was somewhat indecisive, and she always envied Song Qing and Sister Fu Yao's open-mindedness at times like these.
She is a person who is used to sticking to the rules, and she feels uneasy whenever her life trajectory is outside her control.
Therefore, when making many decisions, she is very cautious and considers many things more than others.
She sighed, opened the photos her aunt had sent her, and was momentarily stunned.
Isn't that Jing Song?
She called Jing Song and learned that Jing Song's maternal grandmother's family lived in the same city as her hometown, and that's how they connected by chance.
Jingsong comforted her, "I was also worried about blind dates, luckily it's you. It's okay, let's go out and pretend to be on blind dates to see a few movies, and send the photos to both sets of parents to fool them."
My senior's voice was gentle, with a comforting quality that soothed the soul. "You and your boyfriend have been together for so many years, you'll definitely get married eventually. When things progress, just pretend we're not a good match and break up. Anyway, don't worry, I've got you covered."

Zhuang Fuyao took some time to go to Boya Bay to sort out her Singles' Day sales.
Back in 2008, there was no Singles' Day. Everything seemed like a great deal, so she ended up buying a ton of stuff without realizing it.
At the same time, she also became obsessed with PDD's tactics for a while, often asking Liang Huaixu to help her cut the price.
These few hundred yuan are truly insignificant compared to her current asset size.
Simply enjoy the process.
What she didn't know was that several times when Liang Huaixu received her messages, he was in a meeting making decisions about projects worth hundreds of millions of yuan, while she was asking him to cut a few hundred yuan on Pinduoduo.
But Liang Huaixu didn't think that helping his girlfriend cut her was a waste of time. On the contrary, he cleverly used the resources to get everyone in the meeting room to help him cut his girlfriend at the end of the meeting.
When we first received the boss's request to cut Pinduoduo's revenue, everyone was quite shocked, and at one point thought we were hallucinating. But after it happened a few times, we got used to it.
Among the things Zhuang Fuyao bought during this Double Eleven shopping festival were gifts for Shu Run and Song Qing. The three of them hadn't gotten together in a long time, and she was thinking of inviting them out for drinks and giving them the gifts at the same time.
However, only Song Qing came; Shu Run had no time at all.
Song Qing sighed: "Bagg is really busy lately. Their company is inhumane. Not only do they keep people working until very late, but they also want to take up employees' time after get off work. They often have to rush to the company at the drop of a hat after a phone call. In short, they are exploiting labor in a disguised way."
"And another thing," Song Qing recalled a recent unusual occurrence with Bagel, "I'm worried that something might have happened to Bagel lately. She's been very frugal when she goes out, she hardly drinks milk tea anymore, she always checks the price before buying anything, and she doesn't go to slightly more expensive restaurants anymore. Her salary is actually quite high, more than ten thousand a month."
Hearing this, Zhuang Fuyao was also a little worried. "Next time, let's find some time to meet her and have a good talk with her to see if there's anything we don't know. If she doesn't have time, we can go to her house and bring her some good food to supplement her nutrition."
Song Qing clinked glasses with him. "Yeah, I don't have any engagements lately, so I can go anytime."
When Zhuang Fuyao returned home after drinking with Song Qing, she was still thinking about this question.
In the original storyline, when depicting the innocent and naive female lead, there were naturally many eccentric relatives.
One of the scenes involves Shurun's uncle and aunt wanting to take her back to their hometown for a blind date.
However, it seems that this happened two years after Shu Run graduated. In the same year, Liang Chaoluo and Shu Run secretly got their marriage certificate.
Could it be that it's been brought forward?
As for Shu Run's work, the original plot barely touched on the female lead's career path.
Shu Run started working at a game company, which was considered a lawless zone under labor laws and frequently exploited its employees.
Later, feeling that the work pressure was too great, Liang Chaoluo asked Shu Run to resign after getting married.
Shu Run never worked again after that; most of the storylines revolved around her battles of wits with her wicked mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Fuyao felt a little regretful.
She had seen Shu Run draw lifelike little figures in simple line drawings. After getting to know Shu Run, she felt that although he had a gentle personality, he was very idealistic and resilient.
Although Liang Chaoluo is her son, she is closer to him in terms of kinship.
But rather than being a full-time housewife, she hopes that Shurun can live a more vibrant life that truly belongs to her, according to her own wishes.
