Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Afraid of Losing My Year-End Bonus
"To avoid being surrounded and asked questions when you go out. Things haven’t been finalized yet, so let’s keep a low profile for now," Manager Tang said.
Li Xiaoyun gratefully agreed.
The two sat together, and Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but ask Manager Tang, "Manager Tang, why did the Changling Association send Mr. Rui here in person this time? Is the collaboration between our two companies that important? I mean, it might be important for us, but not for Changling, right?"
"Moreover, they insist on deciding on a person in charge today." Li Xiaoyun found it very strange.
It seemed as if Rui Changhuai was particularly attentive about this matter.
As if he valued it more than their company did.
Manager Tang shook his head in confusion, "I don’t know either."
Moreover, there was something that Manager Tang didn’t mention.
Now that things had calmed down and Rui Changhuai was no longer watching intently.
Manager Tang could also calm down and think carefully.
Reflecting on the details in President Lin’s office just now, Manager Tang realized that from the beginning, it seemed that Rui Changhuai wanted Li Xiaoyun to take charge of this matter.
From the conditions that Rui Changhuai proposed, it seemed almost tailored for Li Xiaoyun.
In fact, if they really wanted stable cooperation, they could have let President Lin handle it directly.
Having President Lin in charge of the cooperation with Changling wouldn’t be inappropriate.
Originally, when the cooperation was in Zheng Xuelin’s hands, it was actually President Lin handling it.
Moreover, President Lin’s position is quite stable.
But this time, they bypassed President Lin altogether.
They directly put Li Xiaoyun in charge, indicating no intention of letting President Lin manage it.
That’s very strange.
Manager Tang looked at Li Xiaoyun with puzzled eyes.
Li Xiaoyun touched her face in confusion, "Manager Tang, what’s wrong with me?"
Manager Tang thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Yun, do you know Rui Changhuai?"
"I don’t know him; I’ve never met him before," Li Xiaoyun said.
Though I do know his boss a little?
But we only had such a brief interaction, that it only counts as acquaintance.
By the next time we meet, who knows if he’ll even remember her.
But somehow, Li Xiaoyun couldn’t stop thinking about Zhao Dingli.
"What is it?" Li Xiaoyun asked Manager Tang.
"It’s nothing," Manager Tang didn’t say anything more, "Don’t overthink it. In any case, this matter is more advantageous than harmful for you."
Manager Tang smiled, "I originally thought my position would be given to Zheng Xuelin for sure. I didn’t expect such an opportunity to come up now, make sure you seize it well."
"Yes." Li Xiaoyun nodded.
At this time, Lin Lingli returned with Rui Changhuai.
Lin Lingli didn’t enter the office, only Rui Changhuai came in alone.
As soon as Lin Lingli returned to her seat, she immediately received many WeChat messages.
Zhou Yunyun: "Ling Li, who was that just now?"
Zhou Chuanwu: "Ling Li, who just came in?"
Zheng Xuelin: "Ling Li, was it Rui Changhuai from Changling just now? What was he here for?"
Lin Lingli didn’t reply to them, pretending not to see them, and directly pulled up work documents to handle.
Afraid of arousing Zheng Xuelin’s suspicion, she didn’t even dare reply to Zhou Yunyun’s message.
After Rui Changhuai entered the office, Manager Tang smiled and asked, "Mr. Rui, how do you find our products?"
"Not bad." Rui Changhuai nodded, "We agreed to cooperate because we had already researched Ruishi’s products. This time, I felt it more directly."
Afterwards, Rui Changhuai immediately got to the point, "I wonder how Miss Li has considered this?"
"I’ve discussed it with Xiao Yun, and from now on, our cooperation between the two sides will be managed by Li Xiaoyun." Manager Tang smiled.
"That’s great." Rui Changhuai said with a smile, "Has Manager Tang mentioned that in future cooperation, you can contact me directly?"
Manager Tang hadn’t had a chance to mention this to Li Xiaoyun yet.
Li Xiaoyun was stunned for two seconds.
Because no matter how she might get promoted in the future, up till now, she was still just an ordinary employee.
She thought the person she’d be interfacing with would at least be of an equivalent position.
She never expected that Rui Changhuai himself would be the one to connect with her.
This is like a regular employee from Changling directly interfacing with their President Lin.
This is so unequal.
But after just two seconds of surprise, Li Xiaoyun quickly regained her composure.
She quickly extended her hand to Rui Changhuai and said, "Mr. Rui, I look forward to working with you."
Rui Changhuai looked awkwardly at the pale outstretched hand of Li Xiaoyun.
Dare not shake!
Looking at Li Xiaoyun again, he saw her hand still held out, but her expression was beginning to look a little awkward.
Li Xiaoyun thought to herself, did Rui Changhuai have an issue with her?
Why suddenly not shake hands?
Clearly, they shook hands before, indicating that Rui Changhuai doesn’t have some quirky habit of not shaking hands.
As Li Xiaoyun was awkwardly about to pull her hand back, Rui Changhuai briefly grasped it.
But for only a second, Rui Changhuai immediately let go.
So quick that Li Xiaoyun couldn’t believe it and hadn’t even reacted yet.
Li Xiaoyun looked at Rui Changhuai in shock.
But she wondered if she was seeing things as she thought she saw a little apology and nervousness in Rui Changhuai’s eyes.
Li Xiaoyun: "..."
She must be seeing things.
What on earth would Rui Changhuai be apologizing to her for?
Rui Changhuai, however, thought to himself; he had held her hand twice now.
He was worried he might lose his year-end bonus.
Manager Tang, watching nearby, had a clear view.
He really felt that Rui Changhuai’s attitude was off.
Being extra cautious with Li Xiaoyun.
Do they really not know each other?
Manager Tang thought curiously, his gaze falling on Li Xiaoyun’s face.
The young woman was quite beautiful, strikingly attractive.
Rui Changhuai was also a young man.
Having seen Li Xiaoyun, it’s possible he developed a fondness for her.
Manager Tang thought that this was the only way Rui Changhuai’s different attitude towards Li Xiaoyun could be explained.
Rui Changhuai took out his business card and handed it to Li Xiaoyun, "Miss Li, you can contact me directly."
Li Xiaoyun accepted it, "Okay."
Manager Tang, watching, had a thought and then said to Li Xiaoyun, "Xiao Yun, why don’t you see Mr. Rui out."
Rui Changhuai: "!!!"
No way!
If Li Xiaoyun talks about this to Zhao Dingli, can he still be an assistant?
"There’s no need." Rui Changhuai quickly waved his hand, "Miss Li, you are busy, no need to see me out."
In Li Xiaoyun’s eyes, Rui Changhuai was just a big client.
Li Xiaoyun didn’t think much and said, "Mr. Rui, let me see you out."
Upon hearing the word "you," Rui Changhuai shivered.
Seeing there was no refuse, he could only follow Li Xiaoyun out.
He didn’t dare say anything in front of Manager Tang.
Once they left the business department, Rui Changhuai said to Li Xiaoyun, "Miss Li, there’s no need to be so polite to me with honorifics, I’m just an assistant."
