Luo Zewen had a habit of buying breakfast from a stall next to the department store every morning. Because he woke up a few minutes late today and was worried about being late for work, he ran over, panting. He happened to see Jiang Yu there too, and on the way, he explained to her what he needed her to do that day.
"I'm only responsible for designing clothes for the factory; you can handle things like signing contracts."
Jiang Yu had never been a boss before, so she naturally didn't understand the contents of any cooperation agreement. Therefore, she couldn't do this kind of thing and humbly declined.
"No, it's because the company needs to redesign a new garment, and you need to go there to design the blueprints according to their requirements."
In between words, Luo Zewen didn't forget to say something to the stall next to him:
"I'd like a serving of tofu pudding and two fried dough sticks, please."
Turning to Jiang Yu, he asked again:
"Mr. Jiang, would you like one?"
Jiang Yu quickly refused. She didn't have the habit of eating breakfast outside. Zhao Meiyun would tell them to eat at home before going to the city, and she would even get up early to make breakfast for them.
"Okay, I'll go to the factory with you now. When we get there, find all the work uniforms from the past few years and show them to me."
Jiang Yu figured there wasn't anything important at the shop right now, and even if there were, it wouldn't make a difference if she had to leave a little longer. Besides, Shen Wan was good at everything, so whether she could go back or not was completely unimportant.
On the contrary, the garment factory, according to Luo Zewen's description, became more important.
"Okay, no problem."
Hearing the woman say that, he answered decisively, picked up the food that the stall owner had packed for him, and led the way for Jiang Yu.
He has his own car, which, although not as prestigious as the boss's Rolls-Royce, is still a level above that of an average family.
The man thoughtfully opened the car door for Jiang Yu, saying flattering things the whole way, and they arrived at the clothing factory in no time.
The workers had already gone inside the factory and started working, so just like last time I came, there weren't many people outside.
The security guard recognized General Manager Luo's car, opened the factory gate, and watched the car drive away.
After getting out of the car, Luo Zewen led Jiang Yu to the office building. They encountered many people along the way, all of whom greeted General Manager Luo respectfully. However, their expressions towards Jiang Yu varied widely.
Some people were puzzled, some smiled slightly, and others looked on with disdain. This was because Jiang Yusheng was too beautiful, and the clothes she wore were truly stunning; even the largest clothing factory in their area hadn't yet produced something like them.
Therefore, it was concluded that this woman got the job because of her connection to the manager. After all, she looked very young, and no matter how much people guessed, they would never associate Jiang Yu with the designer or even the shareholders.
"Mr. Jiang, they may not know you very well, so they may not be clear about your identity. I'll gather them all together in a bit and talk about this."
Luo Zewen noticed some unfriendly stares, and his heart pounded, fearing he might cause trouble. He was even more worried about the employees greeting him that morning. After all, who would go over the boss's head and greet a mere manager like him?
"No need."
Jiang Yu clearly didn't take his concerns seriously. Besides, she only came here occasionally and didn't want them to know so much about her identity. After all, there were too many people around, and it would be troublesome to talk to them if they recognized her on the street. More importantly, she didn't want her low-key life to be disturbed.
Luo Zewen didn't reply, but respectfully invited her to his office and asked his assistant to make him a cup of tea. He then went to his own office to find information about the company that had come to cooperate with them that day.
Jiang Yu sat at her computer desk, skillfully turned on the computer, and stared at the software on the desktop, lost in thought. Suddenly, she heard voices outside. The voices weren't loud, but they were loud enough for her to hear.
"Comrades, did you see that? The woman the general manager just brought back must be someone important. Apparently, she didn't even have to go through the formality of reporting for duty; she went straight into the manager's office."
"If you ask me, it must be the general manager's mistress who brought her here to show off her abilities while the chairman was away."
"That woman doesn't look very old, how could she do something like this? Or does she not know that General Manager Luo is already married?"
People outside tried their best to analyze the problem using their own imaginations, completely unaware that their words had reached Jiang Yu's ears.
Moreover, they seemed to have already regarded Jiang Yu as Luo Zewen's mistress, saying a lot of shameless things and that they would do anything to get ahead.
"Wait a minute, I heard they're holding a director election recently. They brought someone over now, could it be because of the position? Could it be that General Manager Luo plans to single-handedly get that woman into the company and give her the position?"
That would be too unfair to the other hardworking employees, who are waiting for promotions and raises.
Someone guessed the crux of the problem and analyzed it logically, making it hard for others not to think about it.
"What are you doing? Instead of working, you're gossiping behind people's backs. Do you want to quit?"
Everyone was still engrossed in their conversation when they were suddenly stopped by a voice shouting from behind, startling them. A moment later, they scurried back to their seats and dared not utter another word.
The team leader accompanying the woman who had been scolding her tried his best to appease her when he saw that his boss was angry. But the woman didn't seem to care; she glared at her and then walked away in her high heels.
Jiang Yu overheard the whole thing in her office and couldn't help but click her tongue twice in disapproval:
It's the same in every era; when it comes to work, people get incredibly stressed.
On her way back to her workstation, Zhou Yue kept thinking about what her employees had said. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She crushed the disposable paper cup in her hand and threw it into the trash can.
Seeing this, her colleagues didn't dare say a word, busy with their work, afraid that they might become the target of her anger if they weren't careful.
I've worked so hard at the company for so long, and I'm about to be promoted to director, but then people say that a new person has been parachuted in and is even a nepotism hire. I just can't stand it.
She thought for a while, then picked up the coffee from the drawer and walked towards Luo Zewen's office. Once she was out of sight, the employees continued to whisper behind her back.
'Bang bang bang.'
Luo Zewen was busy with the afternoon contract and was quite stressed when he heard the knock on the door. He impatiently told him to come in.
"General Manager, here's some new coffee I bought, please try it."
Seeing that he was flipping through materials, Zhou Yue quickly put the coffee on the table and patiently reminded him.
"Thanks."
Luo Zewen was so busy that he couldn't take his eyes off his hands and didn't even have time to look up at the woman. Seeing this, Zhou Yue took the opportunity to glance around and found that there was no woman the employees were talking about, which made her start to wonder.
'She's not here. Could it be that the boss hid her? If that's the case, then their relationship is definitely more than just ordinary. Her chances of getting the director position are in jeopardy.'
