Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Truly Strange
Manager Tang said, "Due to Vice President Lu’s job change over at Changlin, the company has decided to have you take over the responsibility of negotiating the cooperation matters with Changlin."
Li Xiaoyun immediately felt puzzled.
What does Vice President Lu’s job change at Changlin have to do with their company?
Why does Vice President Lu have a change, and yet Zheng Xuelin needs to be replaced?
Could it be that Zheng Xuelin and Vice President Lu...
Li Xiaoyun simply asked, "Then about Zheng Xuelin..."
"Because of his method of negotiating cooperation... In short, neither he nor Vice President Lu are suitable to be involved in this cooperation project anymore," Manager Tang didn’t elaborate on Zheng Xuelin’s situation.
"So the company decided to find a responsible veteran employee who can stay steadily in the company and won’t suddenly resign, causing changes in the cooperation again at that time. I thought of you," Manager Tang said.
"Moreover, if this cooperation goes through, you are definitely set to assume my position in the company, becoming more stable here, so after considering all options, you are the most suitable candidate," Manager Tang said.
"Xiao Yun, what do you think?" Manager Tang asked.
Li Xiaoyun hesitated a little.
Manager Tang said, "I know what you’re concerned about. If you suddenly take over Zheng Xuelin’s job, surely someone in the company will gossip, and Zheng Xuelin will be dissatisfied."
"But at least, regarding Zheng Xuelin, you don’t need to worry. I’ll be responsible for him. If I talk to him, he’ll definitely not say anything more," Manager Tang said.
"As for others in the company..." Manager Tang pondered and said, "In our department, colleagues know you well and know you’re not the type to steal a coworker’s job, so most in the department probably won’t say anything about you."
"I also know Zheng Xuelin has one or two friends, but those can’t really form a climate," Manager Tang stated.
"As for colleagues in other departments, they don’t understand, and if things really get excessive, I can step in and let the company issue a statement to clarify for you," Manager Tang said.
"Of course, this doesn’t guarantee there won’t be any chatter at all," Manager Tang said.
There might still be someone saying Li Xiaoyun has some complex relations with the company.
No matter what, people will always gossip.
Such matters happen not only in the workplace.
As long as you engage with social life, you will certainly encounter them.
There are such things in schools, among neighbors, and in the workplace.
Wherever there’s a group, there will be gossip.
Thus, Manager Tang will definitely help and handle all that she can for Li Xiaoyun.
But she can’t guarantee there won’t be any slight discord within the company.
"I hope you’ll consider this matter seriously," Manager Tang said to Li Xiaoyun, glancing at Rui Changhuai.
She wanted to talk privately with Li Xiaoyun about some matters.
Rui Changhuai being there was a bit inconvenient.
But Manager Tang had a hunch that Rui Changhuai seemed to want an answer today, right now.
And with Rui Changhuai here, Manager Tang felt it was inappropriate to directly ask him to step aside.
Manager Tang understood the matter couldn’t be delayed.
President Lin didn’t allow any more delays either.
Who’s responsible for this cooperation must be decided today.
Rui Changhuai needed to be informed.
Then quickly contact Rui Changhuai to finalize cooperation.
Rui Changhuai’s ability to read the room is certainly keen.
Rui Changhuai smiled slightly at Manager Tang and said, "Manager Tang, you want to speak with Miss Li privately, don’t you?"
"Then, I’ll step out for a bit. You call me back in after you’re done," Rui Changhuai said.
"Indeed, there’s something I want to say privately to Xiao Yun," Manager Tang, seeing Rui Changhuai’s initiative, didn’t hold back and directly admitted.
"But having you wait like this isn’t very good," Manager Tang said.
"No worries, no worries. It gives me a chance to familiarize myself within the department," Rui Changhuai said.
Manager Tang: "..."
This isn’t Changlin; what are you familiarizing yourself with in our Ruishi’s department?
Even though there’s a huge gap in strength between Changlin and Ruishi.
Ruishi doesn’t have anything worth Changlin’s probing.
Because simply, it’s not a match for Changlin.
If Changlin truly wanted to act against Ruishi, there’s no need for probing, they could directly take action.
However, letting Rui Changhuai roam freely in their department, Manager Tang couldn’t shake off the unease.
Thinking, is the cooperation issue really that urgent?
Does it have to be resolved today?
Can’t it wait until tomorrow?
She truly felt a bit like wanting to urge Rui Changhuai to leave.
Even Li Xiaoyun found it strange.
She realized now; Rui Changhuai was here just to get an answer.
Why was there such urgency?
Moreover, this cooperation is a big deal for Ruishi, but for Changlin, it’s just an insignificant small partnership.
Does it really warrant Rui Changhuai’s personal presence?
And to have such close supervision?
Truly puzzling.
Seeing Rui Changhuai seemingly unable to comprehend the hint, Manager Tang gave up.
How could someone like Rui Changhuai, who’s so keen, fail to understand her hint?
It was evidently feigned ignorance.
Manager Tang stopped saying more, stepped out of the office, and summoned Lin Lingli.
"This is Mr. Rui, the special assistant to Changlin’s President," Manager Tang introduced.
Lin Lingli was taken aback, instinctively looking towards Li Xiaoyun inside the office.
No wonder he looked familiar to her.
Turns out he’s Zhao Dingli’s assistant.
Always accompanying Zhao Dingli.
Whenever Zhao Dingli is on-screen, Rui Changhuai is usually there too.
Therefore, she felt she’d seen him somewhere before.
However, with Rui Changhuai’s presence, Manager Tang calling Li Xiaoyun to the office was perplexing.
Could the previous cooperation have encountered problems?
The cooperation negotiated by Zheng Xuelin was suddenly suspended; did Li Xiaoyun do something in between?
No.
Lin Lingli shook her head inwardly; Li Xiaoyun’s not someone who plays petty tricks.
Perhaps Zheng Xuelin’s cooperation had issues?
And now they’re having Li Xiaoyun take over?
Too many possibilities.
Lin Lingli’s mind was somewhat chaotic.
Clearly, Manager Tang and Rui Changhuai couldn’t provide her with an answer.
Li Xiaoyun was also inside the office, so she couldn’t ask, but would have to wait until lunch break to inquire with Li Xiaoyun.
"Please guide Mr. Rui around the company," Manager Tang didn’t mention within the department, avoiding Rui Changhuai from familiarizing with their business department thoroughly.
"Our company is about to partner with Changlin. So please help Mr. Rui understand our company’s situation. As well as our company’s products, you could also let Mr. Rui taste them," Manager Tang said.
With a few words, she managed to escort Rui Changhuai out of the business department.
Rui Changhuai maintained his smile, thinking to himself, this Manager Tang truly is clever.
