Ling Nuan was a woman of action.
As soon as she got the relevant documents for the cooperation project with Qingnuan Technology, she immediately contacted the person - in - charge of the other side and made an appointment to meet.
From Qingnuan Technology, General Manager Yang Cheng, Market Department Manager Xu, Sales Department Manager Wang, and two employees from each of the two departments came.
They filled a whole table.
Yang Cheng instructed everyone, "The cooperation with the Huo Group is crucial to our company. Although General Manager Shen has a connection with the Huo Group, whether we can win this cooperation still depends on the strength of our company. Perform well later and try to leave a good impression on them."
Manager Wang was good at flattering.
After hearing what Yang Cheng said, he immediately said with a smile, "With General Manager Yang taking charge personally, we're sure to secure this cooperation. We're counting on you this time, General Manager Yang."
Yang Cheng was quite pleased and smiled like a blooming flower. At the same time, he pretended to be serious, "Manager Wang, you're wrong. Whether we can win the cooperation depends on the strength of our company, not on me personally."
Manager Wang immediately said, "General Manager Yang is too modest. Without you, our company wouldn't be where it is today!"
Yang Cheng burst into laughter.
The superior and the subordinate had a great conversation.
The employees from the two departments looked at each other, and secretly complained like crazy on their phones.
"Ugh, this Yang Cheng can only talk. I really don't understand why General Manager Shao fired General Manager Ling and promoted such a useless person."
"Hey, I miss General Manager Ling. She was so capable and had a great personality."
"To be honest, I'm almost driven crazy by Yang Cheng and Wang Liao. They've made such a mess of our company."
"Sometimes I really hope this cooperation won't succeed. Otherwise, I don't know how high their heads will be held."
"Hey, do you guys know where General Manager Ling is? If she starts her own business, I'll definitely jump ship right away."
"Who wouldn't want to follow General Manager Ling?"
The employees were chatting away in their group chat.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately hid their phones and looked seriously towards the door.
Yang Cheng, along with the two managers, had already stood up and walked towards the door to greet the guests.
The waiter opened the door, revealing the face of the person.
At the sight, everyone was shocked.
"Ling Nuan?" Yang Cheng blurted out.
The employees were also overjoyed, but since they were of low rank, they only dared to be excited in private and didn't dare to shout out.
Manager Xu couldn't hold back and shouted excitedly, almost breaking his voice, "General Manager Ling! You're back?"
This shout also reminded Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng showed a look of disdain, "Ling Nuan, this is not the place for you. You've been fired by the company. Don't pester us just because you were an old employee."
Manager Wang echoed beside him, "Our company is going to negotiate a cooperation with the Huo Group. Ling Nuan, be sensible and leave quickly. Otherwise, if you offend the Huo Group, you may not be able to stay in the whole city of Jing."
Manager Xu's joy turned into anger after hearing their words.
"General Manager Ling is a great contributor and a founding member of our company! How can you treat her like this!" Manager Xu couldn't bear it any longer.
Manager Wang laughed exaggeratedly, "What contributor? What can she do? All she can do is please General Manager Shen in bed. What else?"
Then, he didn't forget to praise Yang Cheng, "In my opinion, the general manager should be someone as capable and worthy as General Manager Yang. The smartest thing General Manager Shen did was firing Ling Nuan. What does a little woman know about technology? It's nonsense!"
Manager Xu was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, and the employees were also indignant.
Yang Cheng looked haughty, "Ling Nuan, in the end, the winner takes it all. Now I'm the general manager of the company. You'd better get out quickly."
Ling Nuan kept silent and just smiled as she watched the two of them acting in tandem.
It wasn't until the employees of the Huo Group arrived late.
"Secretary Ling, why are you standing here and not going in?" The deputy manager of the Market Department of the Huo Group came over with his people and looked a bit surprised.
The smile on Ling Nuan's lips grew wider, "I'm just listening to what they want the Huo Group to do to make me unable to stay in Jing."
The deputy manager: "?"
Yang Cheng and the others changed their expressions slightly.
Manager Wang didn't know Ling Nuan's position in the Huo Group, but he recognized the deputy manager of the Market Department of the Huo Group.
"Manager Jiang, don't listen to her nonsense. Come on in, please." Manager Wang quickly stepped forward and deliberately bumped into Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan didn't dodge and was knocked back a few steps.
Manager Jiang looked strange and reminded, "This cooperation project is mainly in charge of Secretary Ling."
"Secretary Ling?" Hearing this title again, Manager Wang was still confused.
Ling Nuan sneered and walked straight to the main seat in the private room and sat down.
Yang Cheng seemed not to have reacted yet and immediately questioned, "Ling Nuan, is this the seat for you? Get out quickly. If you delay our business, can you afford it?"
Ling Nuan looked at Yang Cheng as if he were a fool.
There were still some normal people in Qingnuan Technology.
Manager Xu reacted, "General Manager Ling, oh no, Secretary Ling, are you working in the Huo Group now?"
Only then did Yang Cheng and Manager Wang react.
Or rather, they had guessed from Manager Jiang's words before, but they looked down on a woman like Ling Nuan and didn't want to believe that she could hold a management position. It wasn't until Manager Xu directly pointed it out.
"How is that possible?" Manager Wang's voice cracked in excitement, and Yang Cheng looked pale.
Ling Nuan raised her eyebrows and retorted, "It seems that General Manager Yang has no interest in negotiating the cooperation with our Huo Group. In that case, let's not waste each other's time." Ling Nuan stood up neatly, "Manager Jiang, let's go."
Ling Nuan said and left right away.
Manager Jiang just followed Ling Nuan.
Seeing that they were really leaving, Yang Cheng was finally awakened. He quickly stepped forward and apologized with a smile, "Secretary Ling, look, this is just a misunderstanding. It's our fault. We didn't recognize your status. I'll punish myself by drinking three glasses of wine."
Ling Nuan really stopped.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng immediately told Manager Wang to pour the wine.
The small wine cup was filled to the brim.
Before Yang Cheng could drink, Ling Nuan said with a half - smile, "General Manager Yang's sincerity in doing business seems a bit lacking."
Yang Cheng's expression froze. He gritted his teeth and said, "Change to a big cup!"
Manager Wang did as he was told.
After changing the cup, Ling Nuan didn't stop him. After Yang Cheng gulped down three glasses of white wine in one go, she said casually, "General Manager Yang has a great capacity for liquor."
Yang Cheng forced a smile, "Secretary Ling, now can we sit down and talk?"
Ling Nuan looked innocent, "Did I agree?"
Yang Cheng's expression froze again.
Ling Nuan smiled, "I still remember clearly what General Manager Yang and Manager Wang said just now. Since Qingnuan Technology looks down on our Huo Group so much, is there still any need to talk about this cooperation?"
With that, Ling Nuan turned around and left.
This time, Yang Cheng didn't stop her, but Ling Nuan turned back halfway.
"By the way, you can go and ask for help from outside." Ling Nuan reminded with a smile.
