The conflict between the two seemed to have been resolved just like that. Although Fang Qing felt that it was strange, it was still a good thing for both parties.

After arriving at the company, Fang Qing still rushed to the Secretary Department to report. She did not deliberately go to Gu Cheng’s office because of the previous incident. Gu Cheng did not say anything about it either. They both gave each other a comfortable space.

Today, it was as if something big was going to happen in the company. In the secretarial department, other than Fang Qing, the other secretaries were extremely relaxed. They either touched up their makeup or watered the plants on the balcony. Today, after Fang Qing sat down, she found that the other secretaries were also sitting in their respective positions, staring at their computers. Their keyboards were crackling. Fang Qing was deep in thought. Even when Gu Cheng came over, he did not see them being so enthusiastic.

Not long after, Fang Qing discovered that something major had indeed happened in the company. There was more than one incident. After Fang Qing logged onto the company’s intranet, the first message that popped up was that Meng Yue had been fired by the company because she had mistreated her colleagues in the workplace.

Fang Qing naturally thought of the recording incident. This incident should have been Gu Cheng’s doing. Not only did he take revenge for himself he also took the opportunity to clear up the open and hidden conflicts in the workplace, especially among female employees. That was why all the secretaries were working diligently this morning.

The second thing was that the Wen Corporation was preparing to collaborate with the Gu Corporation on a long-term project. Fang Qing originally thought that this should have nothing to do with her and the scene in the office this morning. However, when she met Special Assistant Cheng in the staff cafeteria at noon, the two seemed to have chatted for a while before giving her some pointers.

It turned out that the Wen Corporation was the Wen family’s company. The current head of the company was Wen Yan’s father, Wen Gui. Wen Yan’s only brother, Wen Xing, had also made a name for himself in the company’s management over the past few years. Competition and cooperation coexisted in the aristocratic group. When there were no external enemies, they would naturally fight among themselves internally. However, when they encountered external enemies, they were the most powerful community of interests.

As a golden age that relied on high-end ready-to-wear lines to dominate the entire domestic market, the influence of the European wind and American rain had long since disappeared. In addition to the advancement of economic globalization, the narrowing of the information gap caused their own shrinking market share to be further eroded by European and American luxury brands.

At this time, the Wen family’s grandfather originally intended to maintain his own status, not willing to take the ‘no tone’ road of entering the comprehensive mall. However, the direct store’s annual decline in turnover and Wen Xing’s constant persuasion, finally relented and set up a market research group and let Wen Xing as the team leader to enter the mall.

This news was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, the entire property circle was crazy about it. Although the Wen family’s market position was not as good as before, its brand ‘Ru Wen’ in the ready-to-wear brand was still not comparable to ordinary luxury brands. In the early years, there were tycoons who valued the Wen family, but no matter how much benefits Old Wen was determined not to relent, everyone had to give up eventually.

However, things were different now. When the various tycoons valued the influence of the ‘Ru Wen’ brand, they also began to think about whether they could negotiate some conditions to maximize their own benefits.

Although Wen Xing was young, he had been following his father’s business sense since he was young. He knew what these old foxes wanted to do, so he simply went all out. On the second day after the news of it was released, he announced that he had decided to move into Gu Plaza, they were caught off guard.

Gu Plaza was the largest comprehensive plaza in the country. There was a famous saying on the internet that once quipped, “Without the Gu family, that place couldn’t even be considered a city.”

In addition, the Wen family and the Gu family were old friends, but in terms of business, the Gu family was definitely at the top of the food chain. When Wen Xing found Gu Cheng, the other party put on an expression that he had long expected and smiled at him.

This cooperation was considered preliminary.

However, the specific negotiations under the cooperation still needed to be discussed in detail between the two companies. This was also the reason why the Secretary Department looked different this morning.

As the main person in charge of this project and Wen Xing’s close friend, Gu Cheng would have many meetings with the Wen Corporation to discuss in detail. The secretary attending the meeting would represent the face and content of the company. Moreover, it was with Gu Cheng. No matter what, it was a very good opportunity.

Therefore, at the office desk this morning, all the beautiful women had changed from their previous lazy and boastful style, turning into female elites in the workplace. They had tried all means and resources to get the detailed information of the Wen Corporation and the materials of this project, all in order to give themselves one more point to win.

Fang Qing had originally thought that this project had nothing to do with her, an outsider who has only worked for three months. However, when the name list was announced, she was greatly surprised.
