Chapter 132: Chapter 132 The Board is Alarmed (9)

"Does the chairman want to arrange for her to become a secretary?"

"I’ve already said it, everything shall follow company regulations. Unless, she can make an enormous contribution in the company, far beyond her current status and identity, otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss."

Xiao Jianming was notoriously stingy.

Uncle Tang knew that the so-called enormous contribution he mentioned would have to be at least a hundred million yuan project for there to be any chance.

No matter how bold a newcomer Gu Nuan was, given her seniority, she absolutely was a fresh recruit who had just stepped on the threshold, could she pull off a hundred million yuan project?

Maybe after two or three years, they could talk about that hundred million. That would still depend on how quickly Gu Nuan grew.

With that in mind, it was better to advance step by step.

Gu Nuan was still by herself as she walked back to the Investment Promotion Department.

The people in the Investment Promotion Department saw her come back and head straight for her desk without speaking to anyone; they thought she must be like a deaf person, certainly having encountered some setback from her superiors, walking with her eyes looking straight ahead.

Gu Nuan was indeed somewhat distracted, but absolutely not from any kind of setback. She had never imagined that a meeting with her superiors would immediately change her current situation.

After all, this was a major company and group with rules and regulations; they couldn’t allow people to forget themselves. It was only such strictly regulated major companies that could provide employees with a sense of fairness and security.

Gu Nuan’s distraction was purely because she was brainstorming the report Xiao Jianming asked her to write.

Her specialized knowledge might be useful here; after all, she had spent so many years studying hard in school just to be able to apply her knowledge in the workplace after graduation, didn’t she?

Training for a thousand days, all for this moment.

Gu Nuan felt a surge of warm blood, eager to get started.

She turned around and asked a colleague in the Investment Promotion Department, "Where is Commissioner Tang?"

Tang Qingzhong had been in Minister Meng’s office the whole time, and it seemed the news of her return had reached him, so Tang Qingzhong was let out.

With a mix of worry and expectation, Tang Qingzhong rushed to Gu Nuan and anxiously asked, "How did it go?"

Gu Nuan smiled and shook her head, "Supervisors are cultured and qualified individuals, how could they possibly make things difficult for us?"

Hearing her say this, it was as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts.

Gu Nuan led Tang Qingzhong to the pantry where they made coffee and upon seeing no one else around, she said, "The chairman asked our group to write a report on the Mingyue project."

"The chairman? You met the chairman?" Tang Ducky’s mouth formed a surprised round shape.

He, Tang Ducky, had worked at Changda for seven years and had never spoken a word to the chairman.

No jealousy, not a bit of it. In fact, Tang Ducky thought that if it were him standing in front of Xiao Jianming, he would go weak at the knees.

After understanding what Gu Nuan had narrated, Tang Qingzhong thought for a bit and said, "I’ll discuss it with the team leader later, and then you can start writing. If you don’t know the format for company documents, I’ll let you know."

Writing documents was never a male forte; it seemed women were better suited to the task.

It should be said that Tang Qingzhong didn’t like writing reports. As for Fang Yongxing, he was handicapped with an injured hand and couldn’t write either.

Publicly and privately, it was Gu Nuan’s unavoidable duty to take on this important task.

After work, the two of them carried their laptops and went to discuss matters with the hospitalized Fang Yongxing.

When they reached the hospital and mentioned the chairman’s personally organized inquiry to Fang Yongxing, there was no surprise or excitement like Tang Ducky’s reaction.

Indeed, as Gu Nuan had thought, Fang Yongxing might know some secrets.

Fang Yongxing told them both, "Actually, when I went to visit the injured worker, I overheard that a man who looked very much like the chairman’s secretary had personally visited the injured."

"The chairman is personally paying attention to this project?" Tang Qingzhong asked, surprised.

They really couldn’t figure out why a medium-sized project like Mingyue had caught Xiao Jianming’s personal attention.

"It seems the rumors are true," Fang Yongxing then shared with them, "This project was personally approved by the chairman."

After being stunned for a moment, Tang Qingzhong jumped up from his seat, his face flushed red.

Fang Yongxing looked at him, "Not surprised. You and I, haven’t we always wanted to get promoted? Otherwise, why would I take on a project that even group one couldn’t handle at the risk of breaking our heads?"

Speaking of which, Fang Yongxing had ambitions too. Think about how many years he had worked at Changda; others who started at the same time as him had already been promoted, leaving only him still a team leader.

Gu Nuan had guessed some of these things early on, so she wasn’t surprised at all.

Tang Qingzhong sat down, dejected, and said, "It’s all because I’m incompetent."

"How can you blame yourself?" Fang Yongxing said.

"If it weren’t for that year, when someone caught me in a weak spot, you, as our group leader, would at least be sitting in the minister’s position by now!" Tang Qingzhong said, agitated.

Fang Yongxing certainly had opportunities to get promoted before, but as a person known for his integrity and famously protective of his subordinates, he was the kind who would willingly fall into a pit for them.

To Tang Qingzhong’s words, Fang Yongxing simply replied with a calm face, "Don’t bring up the past."

"No! I have to say it—" Tang Qingzhong, unable to contain himself, stood up again, "Who doesn’t know that they are displeased with the group leader, simply because the group leader doesn’t know which side to choose even to this day!"
