At the meeting, Lao Zhao announced the dismissal of Luna and Manager Wang, which caused a commotion, with colleagues whispering to each other about the explosive news.
Lao Zhao shook his head. "How would I know? I went fishing on the weekend. When I came back, I received a notice from the Human Resources Department. They said that Mr. Forrest personally ordered me to go through the green channel and be fired as soon as possible ."
"There's even a matter about Manager Wang. What can he do? I heard he's not capable of anything."
"I have to take drugs because I can't do anything."
Lao Zhao coughed and said, "Anyway, Mr. Qian's project has been suspended for the time being. We have to follow the arrangements for the details. I'll just say one thing, you can only gossip in the department, but don't spread it outside."
Old Zhao looked serious and everyone was forced to remain quiet.
Serena had fallen behind on a lot of work and had been working a
James was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring him in."After the call ended, Serena was shocked and asked, "Chen Shi? When he arrived in Beijing, he didn't go to the old house but came directly to Chenyue to block you. He has bad intentions.""The good ones won't come."Serena grabbed his sleeve, "You have to be careful."James took in her worry and raised the corners of his lips slightly."So worried?"Serena didn't have time to hide it anymore and nodded heavily."He's not a good guy, that's not right." She paused, "He's a very cunning bad guy, I'm afraid of him..."There was a noise outside the door and Serena reacted suddenly."Oh no, I have to leave quickly."As she said that, she turned around hastily but was grabbed by James. He dragged her hand and dragged her all the way to the lounge.This is a small room, a full glass room with one-way glass. One can see outside from inside but not inside from out
Chen Shi first met James more than three years ago.After he returned to his country , he came with his parents to visit. At that time, the eldest son of the Forrest family had not been seen for a long time, and James replacing his brother was a foregone conclusion. At this moment of high spirits, he did not show any pride at all. On the contrary, he was unusually silent, so silent that it was difficult to see through him. He was completely different from the frivolous and arrogant youngest son of the Forrest family in the eyes of others.Chen Shi originally preferred his eldest son William, but he lost his mind and ended up in trouble. He felt regretful for a long time until he saw James that time. Then the regret disappeared. He believed in his own judgment and believed that James would be better than William in the near future.At this moment, his vision was confirmed. James was really outstanding and he could already fight with him calmly.He calle
Serena's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.The lounge was covered with thick carpet and did not make much noise, but the atmosphere in the president's office was solemn and you could hear a pin drop. This small noise still alarmed the people outside.Shen Dechang turned his head suddenly, "What's that sound?"Chen Shi's expression changed, "Is there anyone else here?"James looked towards the lounge without changing his expression and said, "Something must have fallen. I'll go take a look."Serena heard footsteps approaching, and heard the doorknob being turned. She thought she should get up and deal with it in a more decent posture, but no, she couldn't get up.She even felt that her head was too heavy to lift up, and could only lower her eyes and watch James' leather shoes appear at the door.The pair of leather shoes did not step in, but only stayed at the door for a few seconds before changing direction."A book fel
"Take off, whose clothes?""I've watched so many movies, so I should know. Of course it's yours."Serena 's makeup was smudged from crying , and all the colors were smudged together. Even so, her face was still visibly flushed."you you you."She was so angry that she couldn't even finish her words. James interrupted her mercilessly, "You have to be sincere when you ask for help. What else can my sister-in-law give me besides this?""You're dreaming! I won't take it off!"Serena hugged herself tightly."Then there's nothing we can do. Secretary Xie was caught by his enemy before he could accomplish his goal. I hope you live long enough to wait him out in prison, which can be considered revenge."The corner of James' lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and every word he said was like a knife stabbing into Serena's heart. Serena's sadness was overwhelmed by anger, and her tears stopped.She said hatefully, "If it doesn't work
"Dawson Group did intend to move north. I had just graduated and wanted to gain some experience, so I volunteered to study at Jincheng. Unfortunately, Jincheng Group was very strict, so I had to go to Chenyue instead. Although it wasn't commercial espionage, my purpose was not pure."Serena felt relieved.Jincheng Group is a leader in the business world, and has been operating for many years and is involved in many industries. It is normal for talented people to want to come here for training . It is impossible for every background to be spotless. There is nothing wrong with James being on guard, and strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Elliot's explanation."Actually, you don't need to explain to me. Even if you are really a spy, that is the business of the Jincheng Group and has nothing to do with me." Serena said lightly, "You are just Elliot to me."Elliot sensed something strange beneath her calmness."You are the widow of the elde
Serena drank a cup of iced tea as soon as she got home. Sister Sun saw that her eyes were red and she didn't dare to say much. After a while, she carefully comforted her, "Miss Xie, if you keep your unhappiness in your heart, you will get sick easily. You should speak it out."Serena knew she had misunderstood, but it was difficult to explain that she was crying because of the spicy food , so she could only nod and say, "I understand, Sister Sun. You have been taking good care of me over the past year. I am very grateful."Sister Sun was stunned. "This is my job. Miss Xie, you don't have to be so polite."Serena didn't say anything else. Sister Sun felt a little panicked. After she finished cleaning up, she immediately called Sun Heng . The other party didn't give any advice, but just said to keep observing and report if there was any problem.She observed closely. Serena didn't eat much for dinner. She took a shower and went to the study. Not long aft
The engagement party has officially entered the final countdown, and all preparations are proceeding in full swing. As the coordinating secretary, Serena has to deal with countless coordination matters, including coordination with the third brother's wife and Xue Nanyue.Xue Nanyue, who knew everything, did not tell her a word about the agreement between the Shen and Chen families . On the contrary, she changed her usual indifferent attitude and became very friendly.Even comforted her."Serena, we all understand. You were just defending yourself. Just focus on your work and don't worry about it. We'll take care of everything."If Serena didn't know the truth, she would probably be grateful.The third brother’s wife really didn’t understand, so her style remained the same as always, and she enjoyed the melon very deeply."Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I'm on your side this time. You were right to knock him. If you didn't, he might have di
James finally looked at her, a look of sudden realization.“It’s unlucky indeed.”The male and female protagonists of the engagement party arrived, and Serena pulled the planner and hotel manager together to make a report.Chen Xiaoyu was about to say a few words when Xue Nanyue came in. With her in charge, the report went smoothly and all the preparations before the engagement party came to an end."Oh, if William were still here, he would be very happy to see you finally grow up and settle down."Xue Nanyan pulled her son aside and said with emotion, "After the summer, it will be your eldest brother's death anniversary. Then you can take Xiaoyu to see him."Serena was holding a pile of documents and listening with her head down.Listen to James slowly say, "We'll talk about it then.""Why not tell me later?" Chen Xiaoyu pouted in dissatisfaction , "I want to go see my brother!"James looked at her gently, "Plans can't ke
Lin Boting followed her into the elevator without asking any more questions, but his inner doubts grew again. A honeymoon villa must be of top priority in the hearts of a loving couple. 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. It was a rare opportunity to be alone with Lin Boting, and she didn't want to miss it, so she looked at Serena.Seeing her sad face, Serena said, "The report is quite boring, how about you...""I want to listen." Lin Boting said, "Junior sister, are you welcome?"Wenxiu smiled and said , "Of course, senior, you are welcome to come and give us guidance."Shen Qingxiang became even more distressed, but Serena was still very considerate.
Mrs. Meng was frightened to tears by the slap."Meng, this time it's clearly the Forrest family's fault, why did you hit the child?"Meng Gang's expression changed, and he instantly became compassionate. 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. After a moment, he said happily, "Dad, you don't blame me for being reckless anymore?"Meng Gang pointed at her, "You are still reckless and not careful enough, but you are still okay if you know how to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Since you have chosen James, you must act quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, leaving n
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?
Meng Jinyun didn't touch the pork trotter , but James ate a few bites leisurely and praised the dish for its good quality .The atmosphere at the table was depressing, but the third brother's wife, following Xue Nanyue's instructions, began to liven up the atmosphere."Aunt Yan, I heard from Sister Liu that the family banquet is being held in advance?""Well, the one after William's death anniversary at the end of September has been moved up. 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.
"Jinyun is talking about fairness, I support it." James turned his head, "Sister-in-law, are you convinced?"Xie Shi didn't expect James to help her at all. 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. You didn't grow up in a big family like ours, so you don't understand my painstaking efforts. I don't blame you."Serena dropped her eyelids and pretended not to he
Serena returned to the flower hall with this plain face. As soon as she entered, her third brother's wife called out."Oh, sister-in-law, you..." 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." Serena, why did you take off your makeup for no reason?"Serena lowered her eyes and whispered, "There's a wound on my face. I'm afraid it will get infected if I don't remove it."Xue Nanyue curled the corners of her mouth and wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw the condition on her face, she swallowed her words back. If you say she was injured, it was j
Serena put down her powder puff and turned around."Ms. Meng must understand this pain more deeply than I do. Why don't you tell me?""How can other people's words be as profound as your own feelings? Don't worry, you will experience a lot more pain in the future." Meng Jinyun looked at her red and swollen left cheek and laughed, "Poor thing, you already look stupid, and now you look even more disgusting."She was provoking her to get angry. It seemed that after saving face, it was time to save the reality. Serena's eyelashes trembled slightly."Ms. Meng is not at the banquet admiring the flowers and smelling the fragrance, but is running to the bathroom to smell the air freshener. 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? After waiting for three years, you give me a slap in the face? Miss Meng's
Serena's ears suddenly rang and half of her face felt hot.She guessed that Meng Jinyun would not let her go easily, but she did not expect it to come so quickly and undisguisedly.This slap also stunned several people around . There were not many passengers near the VIP channel, but there were staff members, who looked over in twos and threes with inquiring eyes.The first to speak was the third sister-in-law. She said sternly , "Miss Meng, what do you mean by this!"As soon as she said this, Meng Jinxiu immediately pulled her sleeve.Meng Jinyun rubbed his numb palms."I mean to make peace with my sister-in-law."She asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Does it hurt? Don't blame me. I'm trying my best to recreate the slap you gave me."Serena dodged her hand, she was not annoyed, but more eager."Sister-in-law, if I don't return this slap to you, I will always have a thorn in my heart. As long as you are in
