Public office area.
Wang Xiaoyun was still chatting with Ma Wenwen about the handsome and dashing new boss.
“Wenwen, you seem a bit distracted. Don’t tell me our new boss has really swept you off your feet!”
Seeing Ma Wenwen seemingly not listening to her, Wang Xiaoyun spoke again, teasing her. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
“Xiaoyun, actually I know the new boss…”
Ma Wenwen felt there was no need to keep it a secret any longer. She was about to explain her relationship with Yang Hao when Sun Mingjun, all smiles, approached them.
“Here comes Sun Mingjun again!”
“Wonder what sneaky plan he’s come up with this time!”
Wang Xiaoyun also saw Sun Mingjun, muttered a snide remark, and quickly slid back to her own workstation, but her body was leaning backward, eager to hear what Sun Mingjun had to say to Ma Wenwen.
If it was something like workplace harassment or bullying, she could be a witness for her friend.
She even secretly activated the recording function on her phone, thinking of capturing audio evidence.
However, the turn of events shocked her.
After Sun Mingjun arrived at Ma Wenwen’s desk, he said with a smile, “Wenwen, I might have been a bit harsh just now, but it was really all for the sake of your personal development. I hope you won’t mind.”
“If you feel offended, then I apologize to you.”
“I assure you nothing similar will happen again. You are a designer, so just focus on your designs!”
“Entertaining clients and such tasks are indeed not part of your job description!”
What?
F*ck??
What has possessed Sun Mingjun??
Wang Xiaoyun, who was eavesdropping in silence, was flabbergasted. She had joined Yiren Clothing a bit earlier than Ma Wenwen and was an old employee, quite familiar with Sun Mingjun.
He had never been this polite to his subordinates, always putting on airs with an arrogant attitude.
But Sun Mingjun at this moment was showing a completely different face than before.
This made Wang Xiaoyun feel as if he had been possessed by something.
Ma Wenwen, on the other hand, guessed the reason for Sun Mingjun’s drastic change. He probably knew about her “background.”
She despised this kind of fair-weather behavior, responding simply with a cold question, “President Sun, did you need something?”
Ma Wenwen’s indifference was expected by Sun Mingjun. He understood this subordinate well, but times had changed, and he dared not show any pretense with her now, still keeping a smile on his face: “Come with me to the meeting room.”
“Oh.”
Ma Wenwen was not surprised. This must have been ordered by “Brother-in-law” Yang Hao; otherwise, Sun Mingjun’s attitude wouldn’t have changed so quickly.
When the new boss explicitly asked for Ma Wenwen by name, Sun Mingjun, an old hand in the workplace, understood the implications and thus lowered his stance.
Ma Wenwen got up, slightly touched up her makeup, and then followed Sun Mingjun away from her workstation.
“Wenwen, you know how persistent Ding Hui has been about you!”
“He also has quite deep ties with our company in terms of interests; I was really dragged into this by him and couldn’t help but to come to you!”
“It’s all for the sake of the company’s benefit; I hope you can understand.”
On the way to the meeting room, Sun Mingjun continued to justify his actions. When the new boss specifically requested to see Ma Wenwen, he guessed there was more than met the eye in their relationship.
Now Ma Wenwen’s demeanor further confirmed his suspicion. Without some backing, Ma Wenwen would at least have given a perfunctory response.
But she didn’t even bother to pretend.
Clearly, she didn’t regard him, her immediate boss, with the slightest bit of respect—she blatantly scorned him!
And such scorn was naturally based on some level of confidence.
Could she be the new boss’s lover??
This thought flashed through Sun Mingjun’s mind, and his forehead immediately began to sweat profusely.
If that were the case, his good days at Yiren Clothing were numbered!
“Wenwen, please don’t take offense at what I did.”
“I apologize to you right here!”
As they nearly reached the meeting room, Sun Mingjun could no longer afford to care about his pride, hastened a few steps to block Ma Wenwen, and bowed sincerely.
Startled by his behavior, Ma Wenwen stopped walking, looked at Sun Mingjun, and then shook her head somewhat helplessly, “President Sun, you are being too polite.”
“There was no need for this.”
After that, Ma Wenwen sidestepped Sun Mingjun and strode confidently towards the meeting room.
And this entire scene was witnessed by Wang Xiaoyun, who had been closely monitoring the situation. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Because she was too far away, she couldn’t hear what Sun Mingjun was saying, but the act of bowing to apologize was evident.
The arrogant President Sun was actually apologizing and bowing his head to her friend!
Had he really been possessed by something??
Wang Xiaoyun had thought these speculations were just jokes, but now it seemed there might really be some truth to them!
Sun Mingjun’s behavior was too abnormal!
But that’s not right, wasn’t he all high and mighty just this morning??
The change happened after the new boss arrived…
Wang Xiaoyun stroked her chin, deep in thought.
At this moment, a colleague whose desk was next to hers leaned in with a gossip-filled face, “Xiaoyun, did you see it, President Sun seemed to be bowing to Wenwen just now?”
“You and Wenwen are close, what’s going on??”
“You saw it too?”
Wang Xiaoyun glanced at the approaching colleague, then shook her head gently, “However, I don’t know what’s going on either!”
“In any case, Sun Mingjun is acting a bit out of the ordinary now!”
Hearing this, the colleague speculated in a low voice, “President Sun hasn’t fallen into Wenwen’s hands, has he?”
Wang Xiaoyun didn’t express an opinion. She felt that possibility was quite low; if there really were such an issue, Ma Wenwen would probably have told her already.
I’ll ask Wenwen when she gets back!
That’s what Wang Xiaoyun was thinking silently to herself.
The conference room.
The door was open, and Ma Wenwen stood at the doorway, knocking lightly on the door.
In an instant, all eyes landed on her.
She was the person named by the new boss, and no one knew yet what their relationship was, but one thing was for sure, Ma Wenwen would definitely be favored.
“Come in,”
Yang Hao waved Ma Wenwen over, then his gaze unconsciously swept across Yao Xintong and Zhao Jincheng, among others.
Yao Xintong and Zhao Jincheng, who noticed Yang Hao’s gaze, were both startled, as both were shrewd people who immediately understood Ma Wenwen’s status in the eyes of the new boss.
In the future, she was likely to be at the level of the vice president, or even the president!
“Wenwen, sit here,”
Zhao Jincheng stood up and actively offered his seat.
Seeing this, those who had been speculating about Ma Wenwen’s relationship with the new boss were even more astonished now. Zhao Jincheng was the vice president; he had stood up to offer his seat, showing the importance he placed on Ma Wenwen.
Seeing this scene, Sun Mingjun, who was following Ma Wenwen, furrowed his brows even more. He now wished dearly that he could smack himself hard.
If it hadn’t been for his actions last night and this morning, his relationship with Ma Wenwen probably wouldn’t have deteriorated to this irreparable extent!
Damn it!
All thanks to that dumbass Ding Hui!!
Sun Mingjun silently cursed Ding Hui’s ancestors in his mind.
However, the only thing he could do was to curse silently in his heart.
Previously, he couldn’t afford to offend Ding Hui, and now even less so. If he really got fired from the company, he might still be able to turn to Ding Hui to scrape by.
That’s all networking.
Ma Wenwen was somewhat overwhelmed by Zhao Jincheng’s gesture, as he was after all the vice president with a high status in the company.
“Wenwen, just take that seat there,”
Seeing Ma Wenwen still hesitating, Yang Hao directly pointed to the seat Zhao Jincheng had vacated, and this act was seen as recognizing Ma Wenwen’s status within the company.
From the new boss’s attitude, it was clear that she would definitely be at the vice president level in the company!
“Thank you… Mr. Yang!”
Ma Wenwen had gotten somewhat used to the term “Brother-in-law” through yesterday’s interaction, but that term obviously wasn’t appropriate for this situation, so the “Brother-in-law” that nearly slipped out was changed to Mr. Yang.
Yang Hao nodded slightly, and after Zhao Jincheng and Sun Mingjun had all taken their seats, he cleared his throat and began to speak, “Good, now that everyone is here.”
“I’d like to announce a personnel appointment.”
“Effective immediately, Ma Wenwen will assume the position of General Manager of the Design Department and also serve as the Group’s Vice President!”
Wow!
As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking.
The conference room immediately stirred into commotion, and even those who were mentally prepared were shocked by this exceptional promotion.
And Sun Mingjun’s face turned pale, his mouth slightly open as he stood there awkwardly.
His position was as the General Manager of the Design Department!
And now Yang Hao, the new boss, had just announced that Ma Wenwen would take over that position.
Did that mean he was already out of the game??
