The reason why Lina asked Xia Zhichu to stay away was because she knew that Si Mochen didn't want Xia Zhichu to know his identity. If he stayed here, he might not be able to hide it.
"Um."
There was just a faint response from the other end.
It was the first time for all the colleagues to hear the president's voice. They felt it was as beautiful as a cello and were all mesmerized.
However, this "hmm" made them all look at Zhao Sichun in surprise.
Normally at times like this, shouldn't the CEO comfort his wife?
In the end, he responded perfunctorily with such an indifferent tone.
This made everyone doubt whether there was any relationship between Zhao Sichun and the president.
"Didn't you agree to anything I say? Right now, I want you to fire Lina from the design department." Zhao Sichun didn't understand Si Mochen at all. He was always merciless when it came to things that touched his bottom line.
Last night, when Zhao Sichun mentioned the matter of firing Lina, he had already coldly refused.
He didn't expect that she would mention it again tonight, and still speak to him in an imperative tone, which made him extremely unhappy.
"reason."
His voice was still cold, as if he was just discussing a cooperation agreement.
Zhao Sichun looked at Lina fiercely and told her all her crimes. In the end, she began to cry out of grievance, "I am the woman you want to marry after all. How can she ignore me and even embarrass me in front of my colleagues?"
There was silence on the other end for a long time.
Just when everyone thought Si Mochen would stop talking, he said, "It's indeed excessive."
When Zhao Sichun heard this, she immediately challenged Lina proudly. As long as Si Mochen was willing to give in, Lina would have no chance of staying in Peak Group.
However, just as he was ecstatic, the man's voice came again, "But if Lina leaves, the design department will never find a better leader. Of course, unless you can find one, I can consider terminating the cooperation with her."
After saying this, Si Mochen lost his patience and hung up the phone directly.
Zhao Sichun was stunned.
Find a better leader?
So Si Mochen agreed to her proposal?
Thinking of this, Zhao Sichun became more confident, and looked at Lina with his head held high and chest puffed out, "Did you hear that? You can almost get out now."
However, Lina was smiling, clearly not taking Zhao Sichun's words seriously.
Similarly, colleagues in the design department also looked at Zhao Sichun with sympathy.
Everyone has heard of Lina's abilities. She is the chief designer of Peak Group invited by the president. She has achieved continuous success at the Milan Fashion Show. The key is that she is also a top student with a double degree from Cambridge University. The key is that Lina seems to have made a lot of contribution to the establishment of Peak Group's design department.
It was only because she was always busy with the Milan Fashion Show and rarely returned home that the job of leading the design department fell on Manager Lan.
I heard that Lina will come back this time, and it was the president who invited her personally.
So, if you want to find a designer who is better than Lina, I can only say that it is very difficult!
"Then please ask Miss Zhao to find someone. If there is someone who can replace me, I will go on my own without you saying anything." Lina smiled confidently and was relaxed throughout the whole process, but the way she looked at Zhao Sichun was as if she was looking at a clown.
Zhao Sichun bit her lip angrily and said, "Okay, just wait for me."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and walked towards the door. Just at this moment, Xia Zhichu came back.
Zhao Sichun was so angry he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he slammed into Xia Zhichu's shoulder and warned him coldly, "Once we get rid of Lina, you'll be next. Just wait and see!"
Xia Zhichu just felt confused, and of course he got angry after being bumped into, so he threw the apple in his hand to the ground.
As a result, the apple rolled out and landed directly in front of Zhao Sichun. Miss Zhao was walking gracefully when her high heels stepped on the apple.
The man also lost his balance, screamed, and fell to the ground with his legs up in the air.
Xia Zhichu covered his mouth and almost burst out laughing.
Is this apple here to repay a favor?
Worried that this crazy woman would continue to make trouble, Xia Zhichu quickly entered the box and closed the door.
Seeing her come in, Lina motioned for her to sit down, then looked at everyone present and said, "If you think this celebration party is boring, you can leave."
With their backers gone, these people didn't dare to act rashly anymore. They all put on fawning expressions and said in a gentle voice, "How could that be? This is an honor for our design department. No one can be absent."
"Yes, yes, we should all learn from Xiao Xia."
Xia Zhichu saw everyone's faces change in an instant. He had no idea what was going on and just looked at Lina in confusion.
Lina didn't say anything, just smiled, which made Xia Zhichu even more confused.
Soon, the waiter came in and served the food.
Because Si Mochen was treating this time, Lina ordered the most expensive dishes without hesitation. When all the dishes were placed on the table, everyone was shocked.
Lina, however, acted very relaxed and invited everyone to eat. "Everyone, enjoy your meals tonight. Don't be polite. If you don't have enough, order more."
Although everyone's salary is not low, the total cost of this table of dishes is at least over 100,000 yuan. They are all imported high-quality seafood, and the portions are very large.
"I'm sorry for the expense to the boss." Lily said flatteringly.
Lina stood up, holding her wine glass, and said to everyone, "The company has approved the budget. This meal is a recognition from the higher-ups to Zhichu, and of course, it's also a recognition of everyone's hard work during this period."
"Everyone, do your best in the seasonal shows, and you'll have a chance to enter the Milan Fashion Show. Come on, let's have a drink, thank you for your hard work!"
Everyone clinked their glasses together.
As the leader, Lina was speechless.
The other colleagues had obviously forgotten what had just happened and started drinking and chatting and laughing.
Only Xia knew that he didn't dare drink more. He just took a sip and put down the glass.
Lily saw this scene and said maliciously, "Zhichu is the biggest contributor to the design department. One cup is not enough. He must drink three cups in a row."
"Yes, yes, three cups, three cups."
Of course, everyone would not miss any opportunity to embarrass Xia Zhichu and would make a fuss.
Xia Zhichu said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I can't drink much."
"Oh, it's just three cups, you won't get drunk." Lily said again.
Xia Zhichu knew that these people did it on purpose, but they kept forcing her to drink, and in the end she couldn't refuse.
"Okay, just three cups, no more."
We ordered red wine today, she should be able to handle three glasses.
Plus, what my colleague said was right. This was a celebration party, and it would be unreasonable not to drink.
Seeing Xia Zhichu about to drink, Lina should have stopped him. After all, Si Mochen had reminded him not to drink before the dinner. But just now, Si Mochen sent a message saying that he would come to this hotel for dinner, and Lina suddenly changed her mind.
Just let Xia Zhichu drink. Since he’s drunk anyway, let President Si take him home personally.
