Chapter 964: Chapter 964: The Person Who Knows Zhao Dingli Best
How could Rui Changhuai have nothing to say in response to her?
Hearing Vice President Lu’s question, Rui Changhuai smiled and said unhurriedly, "The president is not concerned about you, but about Zheng Xuelin."
"There is no issue with Ruish Company itself, but as for Zheng Xuelin, the president doesn’t like his business tactics," Rui Changhuai said.
As for what tactics, Rui Changhuai didn’t specify, but Vice President Lu should have known at heart.
Isn’t it just that Zheng Xuelin trades his own dignity for contracts?
Although Rui Changhuai didn’t say it, Vice President Lu understood immediately.
An awkward silence ensued.
Luckily, it was over the phone; Rui Changhuai did not have to confront Vice President Lu face-to-face.
This awkwardness was somewhat alleviated.
"The president doubts his character due to deals made through unscrupulous means. With such integrity, how can we trust him in future collaborations? You know, the president holds the character of business partners in high regard," said Rui Changhuai.
"So, Ruish itself is not a problem and is indeed responsible for meeting our company’s partnership requirements. The president has no intention of replacing Ruish. However, the person in charge of this collaboration needs to be replaced; Zheng Xuelin will not be handling it," Rui Changhuai continued.
"The reason for you taking a short leave now is to avoid Zheng Xuelin coming to you once a new person is appointed," Rui Changhuai explained.
"Otherwise, unnecessary troubles might arise. If you don’t take leave, although you’re not in charge of this collaboration, can you refuse to help if Zheng Xuelin comes to you?" Rui Changhuai chuckled.
Vice President Lu was just about to say she could.
Rui Changhuai spoke before she could, "Even if you promise, the president doesn’t trust you, so no promise will suffice."
"If you ask me, you’d be better off not saying anything and cooperating. You know, the president prefers subordinates who can cooperate," Rui Changhuai advised.
"This way, it shows that you have a particularly good attitude, cooperating without any objections. When the collaboration with Ruish is settled, you’ll go on with your duties unaffected," Rui Changhuai assured.
Vice President Lu thought she understood Rui Changhuai’s hint and asked, "Assistant Rui, you mean... after I cooperate well this time, the president won’t blame me?"
"I can’t make such promises," Rui Changhuai hinted, without directly replying.
But Vice President Lu felt that Rui Changhuai’s words were as good as a direct statement.
She had quite a bit of trust in what Rui Changhuai said.
After all, Rui Changhuai truly understands Zhao Dingli better than anyone else in the company.
Being around Zhao Dingli all the time, Rui Changhuai must know some of Zhao Dingli’s thoughts.
"But what I know is, the president wants that when Zheng Xuelin reaches out to you in this matter, you’ll be unable to do anything because of your forced leave. Zheng Xuelin will have no way to use you for anything. And as for others in the company, he has no connections. Thus, he won’t be able to meddle in these matters anymore," Rui Changhuai explained.
"This way, you’ll also avoid being harassed by him. Not to mention avoiding the dilemma due to your relationship with him, right?" Rui Changhuai pointed out Vice President Lu’s relationship with Zheng Xuelin directly this time.
Vice President Lu: "..."
"I understand." Vice President Lu’s voice was somewhat weak, feeling quite disheartened.
Being forced to take leave now, even if the company doesn’t know why, they know she did something wrong.
This penalty is actually quite severe.
"Assistant Rui, after this is over, will I really be fine?" Vice President Lu asked anxiously again, feeling something was off.
Rui Changhuai said, "Vice President Lu, consider this a sanction, effective immediately. You might as well leave the company nonchalantly now. The forced leave won’t be reported across the company. Just take it as a vacation for yourself; all your saved-up annual leave will be used."
Vice President Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From what Rui Changhuai said, the company seems to be supporting her.
At least they’re maintaining her reputation, not spreading it internally, and haven’t even sent an internal email.
This means the company doesn’t intend to escalate the matter.
They still want to protect her.
This gave Vice President Lu much peace of mind.
She just thought that once the contract with Ruish was signed, she could return to the company.
As for Zheng Xuelin, Vice President Lu thought coldly that she would no longer contact him.
Even though this matter isn’t really related to Zheng Xuelin.
Zheng Xuelin didn’t stir up trouble.
But Vice President Lu still felt she was implicated by Zheng Xuelin.
