These three words made James frown slightly, "Why?"

"Mr. Forrest, I took over the project yesterday and have done all the related work. Teacher Zhao and Manager Wang have no objections. What's the reason for changing people?"

Serena sat straight, like a taut bow. There was a faint dark circle under her eyes, which was not very obvious after she put on makeup, but the president's office had sufficient light from the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, enough to shatter any concealment.

James said, "Secretary Xie, you have been working for quite a while, how can you ask such a stupid question."

"..."

"First of all, your manager Wang is very dissatisfied with your performance last night, and your teacher Zhao also knows it. Secondly, the work project is the company's. If the company needs you, you can come. If the company does not need you, you should leave tactfully. Do you need me to teach you this principle?"

Serena's eyes flickered.

"The cooperation between the secretariat and the senior management always needs to be adjusted. Manager Wang only made suggestions but did not say that people must be replaced. As for the reason... Chenyue has a rule that people cannot be replaced without sufficient reasons. Mr. Forrest, you have to give me a more convincing reason."

James was getting impatient and tapped his knuckles on the table. "Thank you, Secretary. What I, James, said is the company's policy. If you don't agree, you can resign."

Checkmate!

Serena was speechless. She talked to him about the rules, and he talked to her about class. He won .

Of course she couldn't resign. In the current environment, it would be extremely difficult to find a job like Chen Yue's senior secretary. She also had a mother to support, so she couldn't leave and had no choice but to compromise.

James knew this very well, and he did it on purpose to remind her of the consequences of not obeying.

"Is this my punishment for rejecting you yesterday?"

Subconsciously, Serena hoped that he would answer no, or that you should not think too much, but he said:

"I can't help it if you think so. If you say so, then so be it."

Serena lowered her head and said after a moment, "Mr. Forrest is right. I will follow the company's arrangements."

"very good."

Serena stood up obediently and walked out stiffly. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back.

"Mr. Forrest, can you tell me who will replace me?"

James and she looked at each other from a distance. Facing the light, she couldn't see his expression, but his tone was malicious.

"You'll know when you get back."

Serena heard what she was supposed to hear before she even entered the office area .

"Xiaoyu is amazing. She can take on such a big project right after she came in. Manager Wang's performance in the past two years has been No. 1 in all regions!"

Chen Xiaoyu was very modest, "Sister Luna, I just got here and I don't know anything, so I hope you can take care of me from now on."

"You're so smart. Follow me. I promise you'll be able to stand on your own in no time. Serena is not the dough for you."

Xiao He probably couldn't bear to see this, so he snorted, "Sister Luna, you rushed back in such a hurry just to grab other people's projects, and you don't even mind the hassle."

Luna was well-known for her strong fighting ability in the secretariat, so she immediately responded, "Xiao He, our secretariat relies on our ability to make a living. Mr. Forrest and the leaders think that Xiao Yu and I are good. Are you better than them?"

"you!"

Serena pushed the door open and interrupted the war that was about to break out. She looked around gently as if she heard nothing. The office became quiet except for Chen Xiaoyu.

She shuddered and said weakly , "Sister Serena..."

"Xiaoyu, can you finish reading the document I gave you before the end of get off work today?"

"Yes!" Chen Xiaoyu nodded heavily.

"Okay." Serena smiled and looked at Luna, "Is the last project finished? I heard that you completed it beautifully, and several vice presidents praised you."

Luna brushed the big waves off her shoulders and said, "I have never done anything bad. Do you think you are the only capable person in the secretariat?"

"That's right. Our secretariat has always been full of talented people. By the way, do you need any additional information on Manager Wang's project?"

Luna didn't expect that Serena wasn't annoyed at all. Her posture was still so elegant, and she began to explain the work naturally. She punched the cotton and held her breath in her heart.

"Serena, keep the information to yourself. Do I need you?"

The opponent fired another shot, but Serena didn't even blink, and calmly pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Luna, you really don't need me, but Mr. Qian has a party tomorrow night. He says he wants to entertain his distant cousin, but in fact he is secretly colluding with our rival company. Poor Manager Wang still thinks this project is a sure thing. I'm kind enough to give you a small suggestion. Tell him the news quickly. Maybe it's not too late."

After saying that, Serena clicked on the screen and started working, only showing Luna half of her profile from beginning to end.

So, she didn't see Luna's face change, then she stomped her feet and hurried out the door.

"Pfft!" Xiao He laughed out loud, "Sister Serena, you're awesome!"

Serena exhaled a breath. Luna could be considered her rival in the secretariat. Both of them were workaholics and had their own highlights in their achievements. They were known as the two great generals of the secretariat, but their working styles were very different. Serena was slightly better and Luna was never convinced.

Now, James personally handed the project in her hands to Luna, made a gesture, and asked Luna to take Chen Xiaoyu to the ace.

With Mr. Forrest's care for this project, Manager Wang had to get it even if it cost him his life. Then, Chen Xiaoyu got the qualification without any effort, and Luna won her beautiful victory and became proud from then on.

Happy endings are all winners.

Except for Serena, who lost both people and money, she still had to send blessings.

Just after she said the word "get out", James slapped her loudly. After all, he was the vindictive Mr. Forrest of the Jincheng Group. He was very capable and it was her who was careless.

Serena moved the mouse for a long time without clicking.

on James' lip was indeed eye-catching. She bit him with much more force than she bit herself. This man always held grudges. After being injured, bleeding, and scolded, it was impossible for him not to fight back.

Yes, she should have been more patient. Once Manager Wang's project was successful, the bonus would be twice that of other projects, which would be a huge sum of money.

Serena stared at the screen in a daze, and suddenly a snap of fingers occurred in front of her eyes, and then a cup of fragrant tea was brought up.

Elliot tilted his head to look at her, "Sister Serena, a blessing in disguise. Look at you, you have so many dark circles under your eyes, a sign of kidney deficiency! Why don't you take a good rest?"

Serena didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's so obvious that I don't even dare to make coffee for you! To be honest, I think Mr. Forrest's arrangement is pretty good. That Wang guy is an old pervert. You're just feeding the tiger with your own body by cooperating with him! Now, Luna and Manager Wang are a perfect match!"

"That's right." Xiao He also came up, "Everyone knows how Luna got the project. In the Beijing secretary circle, when it comes to crossing the line, our sister Lu is second to none. Well , I have to say, Mr. Forrest's ability to pair up couples is this."

Xiao He gave a thumbs up.

Serena was no longer embarrassed to be depressed after hearing the two of them singing the same tune. She picked up the tea and took a sip, then rested her head on the back of the chair as if she was exhausted.

She hadn't eaten lunch, and now the reaction was coming back. She was dizzy with hunger.

As if with telepathy, Shen Qingxiang's call arrived at this critical moment.

"Dear Serena, it's Friday, don't work overtime, come out and have fun with your sister!"

"Good sister, is there anything to eat?"

"? You even need to ask that. I have everything you want to eat, gourmet handsome guy!"

Serena smiled and said, "I believe it. If it's not beautiful enough, it's your fault."

    The address Shen Qingxiang gave was a bar in the new district in the north of the city. The newly developed area was quite far from the city center. On Friday night, many people went out of town to play, and the road was jammed. Serena could only take a detour.She followed the navigation through many twists and turns. There were fewer people around and the road became more and more unfamiliar. She could only drive and stop, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. She looked in the rearview mirror countless times. Although she didn't get the road right, she did get familiar with the car behind her.A Bentley was following behind.The license plate was unfamiliar and the driving style was very similar to hers, so he probably didn't know the way.

    After replying, the young man lowered the brim of his hat and turned away."Wow, the pizza is finally here!" said handsome Liu and came to help.Serena sat down with the pizza in her hand suspiciously, opened it suspiciously, and quickly closed it when handsome Liu was about to touch the pizza box." Hey , what's wrong?""...Can you please pour me a drink?"Serena casually sent the man away and then opened the pizza box again. The pizza was still the same pizza , but the problem was that there was a sticky note stuck on the lid. She couldn't see what was written on it in the dazzling light, but the handwriting was very familiar.It’s James’s name.Serena peeled off the sticky note, held it in her palm, and looked around anxiously, but the delivery boy was gone.He actually followed her to the bar in disguise...Is this necessary?

    It was not known how long it had been, or maybe not long, when Serena heard Shen Qingxiang's call, and she realized that James had left."Serena, are you okay?" Shen Qingxiang squatted down hurriedly to check. Serena's hair was disheveled and she was wrapped in a bright yellow coat. She was holding her knees and shaking, and she looked like something was wrong."It's okay, I just... I just have a stomachache. Maybe the milkshake was too cold. I feel much better now. I shouldn't have texted you." Serena forced a smile."If you have something wrong, tell me! How about I take you to the hospital and we can play together another day.""No, I'm going to the bathroom, you go back and wait for me, really, I'm fine."Shen Qingxiang supported her worriedly, and put her hand on her coat. At first glance, it looked like a coat worn by a takeaway boy, but the texture was good and it was a big brand. She asked curiously, "Your coat..."It was a costume

    "Of course I'm happy! I still remember that Dr. Lin, your Huaiyang cuisine is top-notch!"Serena had only taken a few bites of the pizza and her stomach was still rumbling with hunger. When she heard about Huaiyang cuisine , she couldn't help but look longing."I believe you really want to eat it. Okay, come over when you have time and I'll make it for you."Lin Boting said, motioning her to sit down. Serena then remembered her mission and waved her hands, "I almost forgot, I still need... um... your cell phone number...""truth or Dare?"Serena glanced at the booth and nodded slightly."It seems that today is not a good time to reminisce about the past." Lin Boting glanced behind her, "Miss Shen Er is waiting for you, go quickly.""Then your number..."Lin Boting smiled slightly, "It has never changed, you have it."As soon as Serena returned, Liu Shuai praised her, "Serena is amazing and she won it in one go.

She opened the door and said jokingly , " Don't be disgusted, Doctor Lin."Lin Boting got into the car and said, "No, I came here by subway. You still have a car."He took the subway just because he wanted to. In fact, Lin Boting's family was wealthy. His parents were both industry leaders. He had been pampered since childhood and could afford any car. However, he had strict upbringing, a gentle personality and never liked to show off. He had been like this since Serena had known him, and no one disliked him."Doctor Lin is going home now?"

    Before Serena could even ask what was going on, her phone was knocked away.Strictly speaking, she was knocked to the ground and her phone fell out.Two men with crew cuts appeared in the room at some point. They looked young, wearing hoodies and jeans , but their arms were covered with tattoos.One of them , holding a cigarette in his mouth , directed the other, "Ajie, tie them up first before we play!"Ajie pressed on Serena, tied her hands behind her back and tied them up with cable ties. While tying them up, he pinched the woman's butt, which was plump and elastic, not bad."Don't worry, boss. I'm a professional and the employer's requirements are the most important!"After tying up the man, Ajie kicked him and made an OK gesture to the boss.The boss was more professional than him. He walked to Serena's cell phone and stepped on it. Serena clearly heard the sound of the phone breaking. She realized that it was not a dream but a r

Lin Boting held her in his arms and comforted her, "I'll untie the cable tie right away, and we'll go to the hospital right away.

They would not give it away to anyone even if it was vacant, unless they were not in love.The conference room was on the third floor. Dean Wen didn't exchange any more pleasantries. He pushed Serena in directly and said, "How about you guys? Do you want to come and listen together?"Shen Qingxiang didn't want to do that.

He even reached out and helped his daughter up."This slap is a lesson for you. Don't be impatient when doing things. You have a good idea. You took advantage of James getting into trouble and hid behind the Chen family to instigate trouble. The woman who slandered James is yours, right?"Meng Jinyun nodded."Your technique is good, but not neat enough. I'll help you deal with that woman."Meng Jinyun was stunned.

    The following week, James disappeared. To be more precise, the parachuted-in president of the group returned to the group. There were various versions of descriptions of his strong return in Xiao He’s gossip group.——I heard from my friend who works at Jincheng that Vice President Shen was in a meeting, and Mr. Forrest walked in without knocking or notifying in advance. All the executives were stunned. One executive was trying to suck up to Vice President Shen, and when he saw Mr. Forrest, he was so scared that he fell off his chair. It was so funny.——No, that’s not the case. I heard that it was Mr. Forrest who threw the report in Vice President Shen’s face and scolded him in front of all the senior executives. Vice President Shen didn’t even dare to breathe.When Serena saw it, the topic had already changed in the group. She looked through the chat history and discovered that in the eyes of the onlookers, James' return to Jin Cheng was no different from Zh

    James' eyebrows moved slightly, and he led her out of the leisure area and walked towards the flower hall."You think so clearly, so you don't blame me for taking back my shares?"Meng Jinyun sighed, "It's still strange. Not for myself or the Meng family, but for you, I feel that I shouldn't go back on my words. I said it bluntly, but my heart was good, James.""You've always been kind."James showed a look of loss. "Three years ago, in front of my eldest brother's ward, you said the same thing. You said that you were just visiting with good intentions and advised him to focus on his treatment, but he asked you to accompany him to his last journey. You refused, and he vomited blood out of anger."When talking about the past, Meng Jinyun was also moved."I regretted it afterwards. I should have just agreed to it and let William live comfortably in his last days. It was all a way to repay him. Why did I have to stick to my original intention?

There's been a lot going on lately, and the old man is worried about it. Please make time next Friday night."Hearing this, Serena looked towards the upper seat and saw James picking up some food for Meng Jinyun. He picked up a piece of pork trotter with chopsticks . Meng Jinyun's eyes were red and she ate it in small bites with her eyes lowered. It seemed that she was very angry and he was teasing her.Although he played a trick on the Meng family, he probably still cared about his childhood sweetheart.

Not to mention that he felt sorry for his childhood sweetheart, he wouldn't do anything just for the sake of the Meng family behind her.To put it bluntly, she did this only because she felt frustrated, and she carefully chose a way to vent her feelings. As the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she ignored the overall situation, there would be various people who forced her to do so.So she said, "Whatever Fifth Brother says is what it is."Meng Jinyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, saying sadly , "Ms. Xie, I did this so that we can get along longer in the future.

She said "you" twice and sighed, "You look so miserable!"Serena's miserable condition aroused the sympathy of the third brother and sister-in-law, and they hurriedly stood up to help her.Serena didn't refuse, and took the hand of her third sister-in-law and sat at the last seat at the side.She had a delicate appearance to begin with, and when she was bare-faced and looked full of resentment, Xue Nanyue looked unpresentable."

This should not be as simple as a quarrel.""It's that simple. I just want to see you lose."Serena smiled too."It sounds like Miss Meng feels that she has won, but how has she won?
