Xie Min had already thought of the contents of her call with Jia Datong. She had to be tough, or else she wouldn't be able to get any useful information out of him.
That morning, Xie Min arrived at the office early. She first went to take a look around Tang Tianbao's office before returning to her own office. There wasn't anyone at the company yet, so she turned on the water dispenser before returning to her own office. Today may seem ordinary to her as usual, but to Tang Tianbao, it was likely to be a fatal blow.
The morning hours passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time for work to begin. Yu Meng arrived at Xie Min's office to clean up. Noticing that Xie Min had arrived, he asked in surprise, "Director Xie, why are you here so early today?"
"Yeah." Xie Min's mind was filled with thoughts of how she was going to punish Tang Tianbao, so she didn't have the time to chat with Yu Meng.
"Director Xie, do you have some important tasks to assign today?" After working as a secretary for so long, Yu Meng had accumulated some experience. She knew that there was nothing important. The boss usually wouldn't come early, and it was only when he was late that he would come early, unless it was something important.
"Oh, nothing." Xie Min didn't even raise her head as she spoke.
As Yu Meng wiped the sofa, she asked, "Then is Director Xie still going to hold today's meeting?"
It was only after Yu Meng's reminder that Xie Min remembered the weekly meeting. Xie Min pondered for a moment before speaking in a flabbergasted tone, "I'm not opening it."
At this moment, Yu Meng noticed that something was wrong with Xie Min's expression. She did not speak any further. After cleaning up, she took the cup of water from Xie Min's desk and left the office. Xie Min usually drank tea in the morning and coffee in the afternoon. There were two cups on her desk, one for making tea and the other for making coffee. Yu Meng helped Xie Min brew the tea before placing it on her desk. At this moment, Yu Meng noticed that Xie Min seemed to be waiting for another call. Her eyes were glued to the phone on the table in a daze, not even noticing Yu Meng's arrival.
Just as Yu Meng stepped out of the room, Xie Min called out, "Secretary Yu, close the door."
"Yes." Yu Meng responded and then closed the door. She had originally planned to hear who the boss was going to call. This was great, she directly allowed herself to close the door. Although the wall had ears, those ears were no longer useful. Yu Meng was very curious. As a secretary, she had already learned how to observe people's expressions, their eyes, ears, and everything else.
Xie Min was the only one left in the office. She picked up the landline phone on her desk and dialed Jia Datong's cell number.
"Hello, Director! I don't know what to tell you. "Heh heh." Jia Datong said on the other end of the phone with a face full of smiles.
"CEO Jia, how about you come in?" Xie Min greeted Jia Datong.
"Thank you for your blessings, Director. I've been pretty good." Jia Da Fa said in an official tone.
"Hmph, I think that Jia is only interested in enjoying himself, right?" Xie Min's tone changed as her tone turned stern.
"Sigh, what does Director Xie say? Don't joke with me! Did I offend Director Xie in some way? "Hehe, I, Jia, am a boorish person. If you have any presumptuous words, please forgive me!" Jia Da Fa was still smiling mischievously.
"Director Jia is still pretending to be confused? "Alright, I won't beat around the bush. Let me ask you, are you using my company's people to design it for you?" Xie Min said straightforwardly.
After hearing this, Jia Da's heart skipped a beat. The first thing he thought of was Tang Tianbao. Could it be that Xie Min found out that Tang Tianbao had designed and developed a bra for him? It shouldn't be. This matter is only known to the two of them. Tang Tianbao shouldn't be able to expose this matter, as he promised to give him a generous reward. There was no way Tang Tianbao would not make money. What's more, if he were to spread the news, it would be impossible for him to implicate me, Jia Datong. In the end, Tang Tianbao was the only one who would suffer a loss. Jia Datong analyzed this. He felt that Tang Tianbao wouldn't reveal this matter.
Therefore, Jia Da laughed and said, "Director Xie, stop lying to me here. I have a designer myself, why bother to poach talent from your company? Have you heard some rumors? "
"CEO Jia, we are straightforward people. I'm not going to tell you the truth. You're looking for the head of our company's design department, Tang Tianbao, to design and develop a bra project for your company. Boss Jia, what do you think? " After Xie Min finished speaking, she wasn't so sure of herself. She really couldn't interrogate Jia Datao. Originally, it was her own company that was out for private work, so what right did she have to interrogate the boss?
However, Jia Datao was different from the others. Firstly, he was the type of person that was lustful and lustful. If he came into conflict with a beauty, he would always be timid and courteous. Secondly, he had a guilty conscience and admitted defeat. Never would he have thought that he would admit that he had fallen into Xie Min's trap. Even if Jia Datong had, Xie Min absolutely could not do anything to him. She only wanted to confirm this matter from him.
Jia Datao submissively asked, "Who told you that?"
"Our designer at Tang University told us all about your collaboration. Director Jia, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. "You still want to cooperate with us in the open, but I, Xie Min, am not someone who cannot cooperate. Why do you insist on doing something like this?" Even if Xie Min were to charge forward, she wouldn't be able to stop her.
"Aiya, Xie Min, you've misunderstood." Tang Tianbao and I did ask him to research and develop a hidden bra project for me, but this was just an idea. If I really did implement this project, I would still need to sign a contract with your company, so how could I sign a contract with a designer? Director Xie, don't you think so? I, Jia, have been in the business world for more than ten years. Director Xie, don't worry. If I really want to research this project, I'll definitely work with you. And that was just a thought between me and the designer Tang... "
This matter had finally surfaced, and Tang Tianbao had truly begun to stir up trouble behind the company's back. After hanging up on Jia Datong, Xie Min panted heavily. She never thought that even Tang Tianbao would do such a thing. She really wanted to fire him, wasn't he amazing? If he was so powerful that he could take on private interests, why did he have to live in a small company like his? His company was a small temple, but it couldn't accommodate that giant Buddha, Tang Tianbao. Xie Min, who was fuming, had her cell phone ring again. Music was playing in her office. She didn't even look at the music as she knew that Jia Datao must have told Tang Tianbao about this. Xie Min picked up the phone. She already understood the situation, so she wanted to see what Jia Datong had to say.
"I suppose you don't have to explain anything?" Xie Min rushed to say.
"Explanation? What do I need to explain? " the man on the other end of the line said.
When Xie Min heard a woman's voice, she quickly checked the caller ID and saw that it was Su Ai Lan.
"Oh, Mom, is that you? I thought it was that scoundrel's client who called again. " Xie Min hastily explained.
"You and Tang Tianbao can come to the company in the morning." She hung up.
From Xie Min's point of view, Su Ai Lan must have known about Tang Tian Bao's affair. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him so promptly. What could he do at the headquarters? Wasn't it just a meeting to denounce Tang Tianbao's act of engaging in private affairs? Ever since Xie Min set up her own company, she had always met with people at the headquarters. Yet, every time they met, Xie Min felt as though it had nothing to do with her at all. Only this meeting had anything to do with her, and yet she was being criticized. She would rather not have the meeting have anything to do with her.
The path was chosen by the person, and the direction was also chosen by the person. The night before, Su Ai Lan had asked Xie Min about Tang Tian Bao. She didn't expect Tang Tian Bao to be doomed today. Xie Min couldn't help but sigh. It is difficult to predict a person's rise or fall. The life of a person, success and failure are only a few days, as if the arrangements had already been made. And the reason a person came to this world to follow the will of God and walk in boredom was just to prove the authenticity of the divine arrangements?
Xie Min called over Yu Meng and told her to notify Tang Tianbao that she had to be at the main branch office before 10 o'clock this morning. She said that this was CEO Su's intention and that she had to leave the work at hand for now. Actually, Xie Min had already guessed the contents of the meeting, so it was impossible for her to attend. It would be embarrassing if so many people came to criticize her in public. She decided to let Tang Tianbao go alone. After all, he was the one who caused this disaster, so it was only natural that he should take responsibility. Although Xie Min was responsible for her management negligence, she was still able to find out in time.
As it turned out, Xie Min's guess was completely wrong. It was simply a fantasy.
Su Ai Lan didn't look for Xie Min and Tang Tian Bao for a meeting. She simply asked them about the new company's situation. This was only on the surface. What Su Ai Lan was really worried about was what had happened that night, so she wanted to recruit Tang Tian Bao. Only by being kind to him could he willingly forget what he had seen that night. Su Ai Lan believed that Tang Tian Bao was not a person who would repay kindness with hatred.
Tang Tianbao followed Yu Meng's instructions and rushed over to the headquarters for a meeting. He still did not know why Jia Da Fa suddenly changed his mind, but his heart was not sure, so when he was in the taxi, his heart felt like a little deer that was jumping up and down. It must be that everyone knew about his private affairs, otherwise why would they look for him to go to the main company to meet with him, and why would he be the head of a small department just now? In terms of qualifications, Li Bo was the supervisor right from the very start, but Li Bo was more qualified than him, so Li Bo did not call him.
When the taxi arrived at the main office, Tang Tianbao paid the driver and got off by himself. The main office was still grand and mighty, like a tall mountain standing in front of him. Tang Tianbao took out a cigarette, quietly lit it, and took a drag. He raised his head and looked at the company's building. A sense of desolation arose in his heart. He was afraid that today was not going to be the best day.
Tang Tianbao looked at the time. There were still five minutes left, so he took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke. He threw the unfinished cigarette into the trash can and headed for the office building. What fate awaited him? He wasn't sure …
