Chapter 959: Chapter 959: What Is Your Relationship with Miss Li?
Zhao Dingli glanced disdainfully at Rui Changhuai.
Just when Rui Changhuai thought Zhao Dingli might not say anything.
He suddenly heard Zhao Dingli say, "In Ruish Company’s sales department, there’s another employee with exceptional skills. Far better than Zheng Xuelin."
That’s why he was curious about how such a big deal ended up with Zheng Xuelin.
Logically, given how capable Li Xiaoyun is, there’s no way this opportunity could have fallen into Zheng Xuelin’s hands.
"Uh-huh." Rui Changhuai’s eyes lit up with gossip, "Who is it?"
"..." Zhao Dingli said, "There’s an employee in their department named Li Xiaoyun."
"A female employee?" Rui Changhuai immediately caught the key point.
He also recalled how Zhao Dingli praised her outstanding ability, far surpassing Zheng Xuelin.
Zhao Dingli rarely praises anyone.
It’s hard for him to do so even once.
To make him praise someone, they must be extraordinarily excellent.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
He felt like Rui Changhuai was gossiping!
"Anyway, we want her to take over, so the performance can be attributed to her." Zhao Dingli said.
Just from the name, you can tell she’s a girl.
Not to mention, Rui Changhuai found the name somewhat familiar.
"Oh, right, I’ve heard of her name." Rui Changhuai said.
Zhao Dingli immediately looked at Rui Changhuai: "You know her?"
Otherwise, how could he have heard of Li Xiaoyun’s name?
Instantly, Zhao Dingli squinted his eyes, looking dangerously at Rui Changhuai.
What’s the relationship between Rui Changhuai and Li Xiaoyun?
Could it be they met before, saw how pretty the girl was, and wanted to pursue her!
Rui Changhuai never expected, that Zhao Dingli, who’s been single forever and has zero dating experience.
Would let his imagination run wild like this, with such a strong sense of crisis.
So irrationally jealous.
Still clueless, Rui Changhuai honestly said, "Of course not. It’s just that you asked me to look into Ruish Company before."
"Their sales manager is getting promoted, with the official promotion on the 1st of next month. So before the end of this month, they have to pick someone from their department to take over." Rui Changhuai said.
"Li Xiaoyun and Zheng Xuelin are the top two candidates for the position. The department manager plans to choose between the two of them." Rui Changhuai said, "I heard about this while checking into Ruish Company before, so when I heard Li Xiaoyun’s name, it sounded familiar."
"Originally, if Zheng Xuelin successfully secured our business deal, then securing the sales department manager position would be a sure thing. Ruish Company put a special emphasis on our business deal and even had their general manager personally lead Zheng Xuelin to handle it."
"If it really succeeded, even without the current department manager saying anything, Ruish Company’s general manager would directly have Zheng Xuelin take over the position." Rui Changhuai said.
"Also, I heard that Zheng Xuelin isn’t a great person, and has a narrow mind. If he gets the position, he will definitely try to push Li Xiaoyun out."
No need for Rui Changhuai to say it, Zhao Dingli could figure it out.
It’s common practice in the workplace.
If not, leaving a former competitor and some of her connections in the company would bring quite a bit of resistance.
Of course, this is something people with less capability would think.
Truly capable people wouldn’t care about these.
As long as the other person is capable, they will definitely find a way to utilize their ability effectively.
So Zhao Dingli said, "So, when you propose the personnel change, make sure not to cause trouble for Li Xiaoyun."
This was originally Zheng Xuelin’s business, now suddenly handed over to Li Xiaoyun.
Ruish Company is bound to have some gossip.
But knowing that this deal can benefit Li Xiaoyun, knowing that Li Xiaoyun is right there in Ruish Company.
Asking Zhao Dingli to hand the business to another company, or even to someone else within Ruish Company.
Zhao Dingli just couldn’t do it, no matter what.
So he could only try to minimize the attack Li Xiaoyun would face in the company.
"Got it." Rui Changhuai nodded while gesturing an "OK" sign to Zhao Dingli.
But after saying that, Rui Changhuai still hadn’t left.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
"Why haven’t you left yet?" Zhao Dingli asked with a displeased expression.
Not only didn’t Rui Changhuai leave, but he also moved closer.
Nobody knew where he got such courage.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
He heard Rui Changhuai ask, "Boss, what’s your relationship with this Miss Li?"
Zhao Dingli: "..."
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Dingli replied testily.
Rui Changhuai showed no fear of Zhao Dingli, saying, "I just need to know the boundaries."
"There are different levels of protection for Miss Li. If she’s a friend of a friend, that’s basic protection. If she’s your friend, that’s intermediate protection. If she’s a particularly close friend, that’s advanced protection. If she’s someone you have feelings for... or my future boss’s wife."
Rui Changhuai patted his own chest saying, "No matter what, I must protect Miss Li carefully and ensure she doesn’t suffer any grievances."
Zhao Dingli: "..."
Rui Changhuai added, "That’s the highest level of protection!"
"..." Zhao Dingli could only say, "She’s my friend."
After all, he wasn’t exactly sure how he felt about Li Xiaoyun just yet.
Since the day of the culinary competition finals, he hadn’t seen her.
Mainly because he hadn’t found an opportunity to meet her again.
Rui Changhuai was somewhat disappointed.
He hadn’t expected that she wasn’t the future boss’s wife.
But soon, Rui Changhuai perked up again.
Because even if she wasn’t yet, he’d never seen Zhao Dingli pay such attention to any girl.
Not to mention he specially instructed him to ensure Li Xiaoyun wasn’t subjected to any unwarranted gossip.
So, Rui Changhuai thought that it was probably just a matter of time before she became the future boss’s wife.
As he was thinking this, he heard Zhao Dingli say, "But you must still use the highest level to protect her."
Rui Changhuai looked at Zhao Dingli meaningfully.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
"Put away your gossipy look and get back to work." Zhao Dingli said sternly.
Rui Changhuai, ever bold and relentless, lingered there.
He then said to Zhao Dingli, "Boss, while investigating Ruish, I couldn’t help but see a photo of Miss Li."
"Even though it was an employee photo, not a personal one, and I haven’t seen her in person." Rui Changhuai added.
Just as Zhao Dingli was about to scold him for looking at Li Xiaoyun’s appearance while investigating the company.
Hearing what Rui Changhuai said, Zhao Dingli swallowed the words he was about to say.
"But those employee photos are usually just headshots, and they don’t turn out great. Yet in that photo, Miss Li still managed to stand out." Rui Changhuai said.
