Chapter 974: Chapter 974: I Don’t Know Either
Forewarn Lin Lingli so that she knows the reason for replacing Zheng Xuelin.
If Lin Lingli can spread the word by then, that would be even better.
Lin Lingli breathed a sigh of relief, "So that’s what happened."
No wonder they wanted to replace Zheng Xuelin.
She always knew there was something off about Zheng Xuelin.
She never liked Zheng Xuelin, always felt that his way of doing business must have some shady aspects.
"Rest assured, Xiao Yun definitely has no problem," Lin Lingli quickly said, "Xiao Yun is a great person, genuine in nature. Whenever colleagues face difficulties at work, as long as she can help, she will. She would never stand by idly like some people or even take joy in others’ misfortune and seize the chance to jab someone. She genuinely has love for her colleagues and is earnest and responsible."
"It would be perfect if the cooperation is handled by her this time," Lin Lingli said.
Rui Changhuai nodded, "Hearing you say this, I feel relieved."
"Mr. Rui, fortunately, you asked me. If you’d asked someone who doesn’t get along with Xiao Yun, they might deliberately badmouth her," Lin Lingli wrinkled her nose and said.
Rui Changhuai laughed, "That’s why I initially asked how long you’ve been at the company and your view on their competition for the manager position. I could tell you didn’t have issues with Li Xiaoyun, so I trusted your opinion."
Lin Lingli: "..."
Now Lin Lingli looked at Rui Changhuai as if she were looking at a devil.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"What kind of expression is that?" Rui Changhuai asked helplessly.
"..." Lin Lingli chuckled, "I just thought, how could you ask questions that I understand?"
Haha!
Simply a devil!
Rui Changhuai: "..."
Then later, when Rui Changhuai asked Lin Lingli anything else, she just blinked her big eyes and put on an innocent, naive expression, "I don’t know."
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"..." Rui Changhuai really couldn’t help himself, asking, "Aren’t you worried this will affect the cooperation between the two companies?"
"You’re joking. I’m just a small employee; how could I have such influence," Lin Lingli said.
"Besides, even if Zheng Xuelin made a mistake, you guys just replaced him with someone else. It didn’t affect the cooperation. What more could I influence?" Lin Lingli wasn’t worried anymore.
"And I imagine you wouldn’t hold a grudge against a small employee like me. Plus, if I let something slip that impacts our company, I’d be in real trouble. Please don’t make things difficult for me."
Saying this, the two happened to arrive at the R&D department.
Lin Lingli almost shouted with joy, "Oh, we’re here! Mr. Rui, please come in and try our products."
By offering him something to drink, she could avoid more questions being asked.

Over there, in Manager Tang’s office.
Li Xiaoyun directly asked Manager Tang, "Manager Tang, regarding this cooperation, why do I get the feeling that Mr. Rui seems quite urgent, wanting us to choose someone on the spot?"
"I don’t know either," Manager Tang shook his head, "But he represents President Changlin’s stance."
Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but think of Zhao Dingli.
Manager Tang continued, "Since you’ve noticed Changlin’s attitude, I was originally thinking of giving you some time to consider. I understand it’s very sensitive right now. If you take it on, you’ll face many challenges."
"But they don’t plan to give time for consideration, and President Lin is also firm in his stance," said Manager Tang.
"From what I see in President Lin’s view, the manager position definitely has nothing to do with Zheng Xuelin. If you take this on, the manager position will be yours. But if you don’t..." Manager Tang didn’t finish.
But Li Xiaoyun already understood.
"You know President Lin’s temperament. Since he’s already marked you in his mind, if you don’t take it, not only will you miss the manager position, it might also affect your future prospects."
"You’re still young. If you stay at Ruishi forever, you can’t just be an ordinary staff member all your life, right? What’s more, you’re really capable. If you become an ordinary staff member because of this matter, it’s too wasteful."
"And considering your credentials, if you switch to another company and start from scratch, it would be such a pity," Manager Tang said.
Li Xiaoyun understood Manager Tang’s meaning and replied, "You hope I can take it on, right?"
Manager Tang nodded, "If considering your future in the company, that’s what I hope."
"You have many friends in our department. Except for those who are closer to Zheng Xuelin, even those not very close to you are relatively familiar with your character," Manager Tang said.
"There shouldn’t be much gossip within our department. Plus, this matter is really due to Zheng Xuelin being at fault; I don’t think he’d dare speak against you."
"As for people in other departments," Manager Tang smiled, "If you ask me, after this cooperation, you’ll be our department manager and will be their superior. Even if they say something, what effect could it have on you?"
"With your skills, as long as you settle in at our company, you’re bound to rise higher in the future. Then others’ words have nothing to do with you," Manager Tang said.
"Also, as time passes, even if people bring up this matter, by then you’ll already be a part of the management, who would dare to bring it up openly?"
"Most importantly, you’ve done nothing that goes against your conscience or morals. As long as you’re clear in your conscience, don’t fear what others say," Manager Tang said.
"Xiao Yun, since you aspire to the management level, some things you need to be decisive on, and some things don’t need to be taken too seriously," Manager Tang advised.
Li Xiaoyun slowly nodded.
Besides, now she can’t afford not to agree.
Manager Tang already said if she refused, she probably wouldn’t last in this position much longer.
"Alright, I agree," Li Xiaoyun said, taking a deep breath, "I’m prepared now, even if there are whispers, I can stick through it."
Manager Tang smiled with relief, "I knew you could do it."
"Later, when Ling Li returns with Mr. Rui, we’ll discuss it with her," Manager Tang stood and walked to the window.
Her desk faced a whole wall of windows.
Just now to ease the discussion, Manager Tang had raised the blinds.
Now she walked over and slightly lifted the slits in the blinds.
Then turned back to Li Xiaoyun, "Now, the colleagues outside are probably guessing why I called you in. Just stay here and wait for Mr. Rui; don’t go out."
