"Mm, I know. Anyway, there's not enough time now, and it's too late to cram. I'll just improvise later!" Taking a deep breath, she raised a confident smile and looked at him. "I'll go prepare now. Thank you for today!"
"You're welcome!" Slowly retracting the smile from his face, Xia Yu turned and walked towards Nie Fengling's office.
·····································
The President came for an unannounced inspection, and the sudden early meeting made the executives, who were still a bit drowsy, sit up straight at the conference table in trepidation. Especially when they sensed that the President seemed to be in a bad mood, they dared not make a sound.
In contrast to his cold aura, Nie Fengling, who accompanied him, was warm like spring. She casually swiped on her iPad with a charming smile on her lips, making her seem approachable.
As the Design Director, Green Qi was already overwhelmed by this surprise inspection. Relying on all the information she had gathered in her mind and the initial plans presented by various departments, she began her report.
She thought the President was just there to make an appearance; however, to her surprise, the man in the Chairman's Seat listened more intently than anyone else in the room. He raised several tricky questions during her presentation, and she stammered through her responses while he looked at her indifferently, making her feel guilty and unable to lift her head.
Fortunately, he did not continue to press her. Even though some of her answers were vague, he did not point it out. A heavy atmosphere spread throughout the conference room as she was once again forced to take the lead and became the first target of criticism.
Shifting her gaze away from the iPad, Mu Tongzi glanced coolly at the woman beside her and spoke without any mercy: "The entire plan is full of flaws. The timeline is inappropriate, detail issues have not been addressed properly, and there are conflicts in personnel allocation between departments. As the Design Director, is this how you arrange things?"
"I'm sorry, President. Due to time constraints, detail issues still need to be discussed with the heads of each department, so..." Let him scold me; if it makes him feel better inside, then my days ahead might be easier.
"Instead of spending time on scandals, you should spend more time on work. I have great confidence in Director Gu's capabilities; don't let me down!"
"Yes, President!" Lowering her head, Green Qi replied weakly.
Without needing to raise her head, she could clearly feel the gazes of all the attendees directed at her. The rumors about her and Jiang Chengmu had stirred up quite a commotion. What he, the President, said made sense, and precisely because of his superior status, no one would doubt his intentions; otherwise, wouldn't his actions imply jealousy?
Just thinking about this possibility made her suddenly lift her head, a hint of confusion flashing through her mind.
Putting away her iPad, Mu Tongzi slowly stood up. "Today's morning meeting is concluded. You may disperse!"
Finally hearing the words "disperse," the many executives who had been sitting upright could finally breathe a sigh of relief as they watched the President and the criticized Director leave the room. Only then did they turn their attention to Vice President Nie, who had not yet stood up to leave.
Returning from her thoughts about the game, Nie Fengling looked up at the group of executives and smiled faintly. "You should be grateful that someone has taken on the President's anger for you; otherwise, if it fell on you, the meeting would have lasted even longer and been more unbearable! Make sure to cooperate with Director Gu's work and complete the planning for Bright Business City as soon as possible. Now, everyone go back to work!"
"Yes, Vice President Nie!"
