"Well, I'll keep that in mind. Can I ask a question?" Green Qi raised her head, stopping in her tracks and looking at him seriously.
"Are you wondering how Liu Xinran could sit in the position of Vice President of the Design Department?"
"Yes, I want to know. If she was an external hire, then it's not surprising, because I was also brought in from outside."
"If it weren't for Mu Tongzi requesting her to come work here, this workplace rookie would never have been able to step into the role of Design Director right after joining the company."
"She indeed came in through the back door. Having her sit in that position was the President's arrangement."
"The President's arrangement?" How could the Group President, with an eye for talent like Mu Tongzi and a decisive approach to work, leave a mere decoration in the company?
Nie Fengling tilted her head to glance at her, as if she could see what Green Qi was thinking. A mysterious light flickered in her deep-set eyes. "Director Gu, sometimes a decoration can serve a significant purpose. In social situations, you might not perform better than her. So Liu Deputy Director does have value in this regard."
"I understand!" Green Qi nodded and did not say anything further.
When it comes to socializing and networking, she probably really couldn't compare to Liu Xinran. In various occasions representing Mu Group's direct interests, she wasn't skilled in this area; having someone who could handle such situations was best.
"Yes, you're very smart; you catch on quickly! The President will come by for surprise inspections from time to time. Work hard; if there are problems, you could get fired. The President has invested a lot of effort into this subsidiary, so don't let his good intentions go to waste!"
Waving her hand, Nie Fengling stepped gracefully into the elevator.
Good intentions? With threats and temptations all involved, the President probably had ulterior motives!
With a bitter smile and a shake of her head, she turned back to the office. Just as she sat down, Liu Xinran came knocking.
Gu Lvq Qi was not surprised; she politely smiled and invited her to take a seat.
Liu Xinran coldly stared at her, refusing to sit down. Her beautiful face was filled with disdain and arrogance. "Gu Lvq Qi, you outright rejected my proposal as soon as you arrived. Aren't you just opposing me? Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you have the President backing you!"
Although she had already witnessed Liu Xinran's unreasonable behavior earlier, Green Qi couldn't help but feel astonished. However, losing in terms of momentum would not be beneficial for negotiations.
She raised her gaze to meet Liu Xinran's, lazily leaning back in her chair. "Liu Vice President, your statement seems a bit one-sided. If your Design Plan had no issues, I wouldn't have opposed it. I also don't want to steal your thunder. Regardless, we are all working for the benefit of GK; everything we do is for the company's development."
Raising an eyebrow, she calmly met Liu Xinran's eyes. "If your proposal were truly good enough, the other department personnel in the meeting could have voiced their opposition to me, couldn't they?"
"..." The memory of how she had almost lost face in the meeting flooded back to her, especially since the President she admired had stood with Gu Lvq Qi, which only fueled her jealousy and resentment!
"Don't think that just because you have the President as your support, you can do whatever you want. When Yue Qingchen returns, I won't believe that your position as Design Director will remain secure. The entire GK Architecture belongs to Yue Qingchen; you won't be able to enjoy this for long! If you have any self-awareness, it's best to leave before things get awkward; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Oh? And how exactly would you be rude? I'm just an ordinary employee; it's the President who pays my salary, not you. Therefore, you have no authority to dictate how I work. If that person you're talking about returns and the President wants me to step aside for them, I won't refuse. But as long as I am the Design Director of GK, you must acknowledge my way of working."
