Gu Luan throws the question to the supervisors of the Entertainment Department. As if Gu Luan has just thrown a bomb to them, Supervisor Wu and Supervisor Guo change their colors. They glance at each other and ponder about their opinions.
Hua Tangli doesn’t feel annoyed about that. He frankly responds, “I absolutely agree. Everyone sees Director’s achievements in these years. If we are concerned about the faults. Who never did anything wrong? The Weekly attaches most importance to work attitude. I agree. Supervisor Wu, Supervisor Guo, what’s your opinion?”
Supervisor Wu hesitates for quite a while and then she says, “Xia Ning does work hard. But I am worried that Xia Ning is still too young. If she gets promoted directly, other people may not be convinced and it will bring disadvantages to her future development. So, I will keep my opinion.”
Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Supervisor Wu, you only need to say you agree or disagree.”
Supervisor Wu frowns. She thinks for a while and responds, “I disagree.”
“OK.” Gu Luan asks Guo Jiezhong directly, “Supervisor Guo, what’s your opinion?”
Guo Jiezhong lifts his black-framed glasses, “We belong to the same department. We shouldn’t give different opinions. However, as long-term consideration, I agree with Supervisor Wu. Director Xia is lack of experience. The higher she flies, the more heavily she may fall. I disagree.”
In the Entertainment Department, Li Shi has left and there are only three supervisors now. One agrees while the other two disagree. Two to one. Xia Ning is put at a disadvantage.
Hua Tangli is worried, “Supervisor Wu, Supervisor Guo, you have to be honest! Director Xia has always been kind to us. She earns her position by her real ability! How can you say that she lacks experience? In addition, Director Xia is our boss…”
“Supervisor Hua!” Supervisor Guo interrupts, “We are in a meeting. Don’t make nonsense arguments! Director Wu and I both speak honestly!”
“How can you young man be so impulsive?” Director Wu shakes her head, “I surely know that she is our boss. But we have to think about the general benefit! Do you understand?”
Suddenly, a burst of light laughter is heard from the crowd. Everyone is shocked. They turn to the sound. It is Gu Luan laughing.
“Think about the general benefit.” Gu Luan smiles and shakes his head, “I don’t know which general benefit you mean.”
Gu Luan is implying something. No one dares respond.
“Director Gu, among the three supervisors in the Entertainment Department, two disagree. It is obvious that people are not convinced of the selection.” Wan Liqing says, “I hope Director Gu may think it over again.”
Gu Luan blinks his eyes. He gently smiles, “Director Wan, if you hadn’t been away for five years, you would have been the absolute selection of this year’s excellent employee.”
Wan Liqing feels stuck and she can’t speak a word in an instant.
Gu Luan turns to Leng Weiwei, “Chief Editor Leng, what do you think?”
“It is up to you.” Leng Weiwei responds with no hesitation.
“Good.” Gu Luan says in a serious voice, “Supervisor Guo, you said that Director Xia was lack of experience. In this aspect, I am also lack of experience as the director of the Weekly. Do you think I should resign my position?”
Not expecting that Gu Luan will counterattack him, Guo Jiezhong is panic. He responds at once, “Director Gu, you misunderstand. I didn’t mean that…”
“We know whether you mean that or not.” Gu Luan responds indifferently. He glances at Supervisor Wu, “Supervisor Wu, am I young?”
Even though Gu Luan hasn’t finished his words, Supervisor Wu knows what he is going to say. She responds, “Director Gu, we can’t make the comparison in this way. You are you, while Xia Ning is Xia Ning. She is very far from you…”
“It seems that you divide people into different grades in your mind.” Gu Luan puts on a seeming smile, “It is correct. Director Xia is very young. But that is not the point. I now admire Director Xia very much. Under the resistance of Supervisor Guo and you, and Li Shi, the previous supervisor, the Entertainment Department still achieves such a good score. Director Xia’s ability is considerable! I dare say. In the whole World Era Weekly, Director Xia is the only person who can take up the burden of managing the Entertainment Department!”
Gu Luan has just finished his words when some weak but clear claps are heard. Everyone turns their eyes to the sound. It is Gu Ruoruo clapping her hands.
Gu Ruoruo is aware that everyone is looking at her. She blinks her eyes and lowers her head to continue with the note-taking.
Though she doesn’t like Xia Ning very much, Xia Ning taught her a lot at work and about life. She appreciates Xi Ning very much. When Supervisor Guo and Supervisor Wu said that they disagreed, Guo Ruoruo wanted to argue with them. However, she had to restrain herself because of her position.
Well. When they are in daily work, everybody cooperates very well. Why when it comes to the critical comment, problems happen? And why is Sister Liqing so excited?
“Entertainment Department is lack of a supervisor. It will be arranged in a few days. Well, I want to ask Supervisor Guo. How do you think Assistant Fang does his job?”
Guo Jiezhong is surprised. He responds politely, “He is a senior employee. He always obeys the regulations and rules. He helped me a lot.”
“He has been working under you for five years, hasn’t he?”
“Yes, he has.”
“He is such a good assistant. Why when something happened to him, you refused his request for leave?”
Guo Jiezhong hesitates for a while, “It happened to be the busiest time when he asked for the leave. So, I can’t permit it.”
“Oh.” Gu Luan responds meaningfully, “It turns out that World Era Weekly is such an inconsiderate company. I know it now.”
Guo Jiezhong slightly changes his color, “It is nothing like that. I have permitted his request for a leave. He is having a vacation at home.”
“Do you?” Gu Luan smiles coldly. He throws Fang Zheng’s resignation letter onto the desk, “If you really permitted his request, why would he resign?”
Seeing the resignation letter on the desk, Guo Jiezhong is shocked, “Well. Director Gu, I really know nothing about his resignation. I admit my fault. You may punish me.”
“I heard something days ago. When Director Xia came back to get the department in order, she wanted to transfer Assistant Fang to help her. However, Supervisor Guo didn’t agree. After you permitted Assistant Fang’s request for the leave, Assistant Fang resigned. That sounded really meaningful.”
Hearing what Gu Luan says, Guo Jiezhong loses his color. He shakes his head, “Director Gu, you misunderstand. I admit I was wrong on this issue. I will go in person to invite Assistant Fang to come back…”
“No need!”
Guo Jiezhong has not finished his words when a clear female voice is heard. Xia Ning shows up in front of the audience and they cry with surprise.
Seeing Xia Ning, Gu Ruoruo can’t help saying, “Sister Xia, aren’t you on vacation?”
“Yes. But I come back.” Xia Ning says. She goes to sit on her seat, “Excuse me, everyone, I am late.”
Wan Liqing glances at Xia Ning, “Director Xia, please be punctual next time. It is not good to break the rules.”
“Hum. I won’t do that again.” Xia Ning responds briefly. She turns to Gu Luan, “Director Gu, has the result of the excellent employee selection come out?”
Gu Luan puts on a mild smile, “Yes. But Supervisor Guo and Supervisor Wu in your department don’t agree. They don’t think it convincing for you to be the selection.”
“Do they?” Xia Ning looks at Supervisor Wu and Supervisor Guo, “I really need to thank them for their support.”
Supervisor Guo and Supervisor Wu are embarrassed to hear Xia Ning’s words. Their faces turn gray and then white.
Xia Ning takes out the material. She turns to Supervisor Guo, “Supervisor Guo, I went to see Assistant Fang some days ago. I found that he asked for the leave because of the health problem of his grandmother. Supervisor Guo…must know something about that. Do you?”
Guo Jiezhong feels stuck. He reluctantly smiles, “Hum. I know some of that.”
“Know some of that?” Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Then, does Supervisor Guo know anything about Assistant Fang’s resignation?”
When this issue is mentioned, Guo Jiezhong feels his heart tightened, “Director Xia, I don’t understand what you mean. Please go to the point.”
Xia Ning is just going to speak, when Wan Liqing says, “Director Xia, this is a plenary meeting. Please solve the problems in your department in private. Will you? It doesn’t look nice to tell everybody details here.”
Xia Ning slightly blinks her eyes, “OK. I will tell in short.”
Then, Xia Ning takes out her phone and puts it on the desk. She turns to Supervisor Guo, “Supervisor Guo, you have been working in the company for ten years. All the time, you seemed to obey all the regulations and rules. Before I found out something, I also believed that. However, …” Xia Ning points at the phone, “There is something inside really making me surprised about you.”
“Director Xia!” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Wan Liqing becomes so angry that she stands up, “Don’t you understand my words…”
“Director Wan, mind your attitude! Director Xia must have her reasons to do so. You may just listen carefully.” Gu Luan speaks. His voice is not loud but undeniably.
Faced with Gu Luan’s powerful manner, Wan Liqing angrily stares at Xia Ning. She sits down on her seat heavily.
Guo Jiezhong stares at the phone. He doesn’t speak anything for quite a while.
Shit. Can that be in the phone…
No. He always did things very secretly. He always made a single contact. It is impossible for anyone else to know anything!
Could Fang Zheng tell her anything about him?
He couldn’t. Guo Jiezhong has been helping Fang Zheng pay the medical fees. If Fang Zheng tells, Fang Zheng also needs to take his responsibility, too!”
In addition, Fang Zheng is cowardly. How can he tell Xia Ning about that?
“Supervisor Guo,” Guo Jiezhong’s expression is just what Xia Ning expects, “now, I give you two options. One is that you make the confession for a merciful treatment and we can solve the problem in private. The other one is that you keep silent. Between the two, which one do you go to?”
It is…
Guo Jiezhong grits his teeth. He is always cautious. Or, it is impossible for him to avoid being discovered by others in the past ten years. Xia Ning just wants to scare him. She just wants to make him convinced.
If Xia Ning has got the evidence, she would have taken it out. Why does she need to do so?
Thinking about this, Guo Jiezhong finds his confidence. He lifts his head, “Director Xia, I don’t know what you are talking about. If you make the trick to take revenge on me because I disagree to select you, I can only say that even if I will be fired today, I am still not convinced. Do you think you can get people convinced by using some small tricks? Director Xia, you are too naïve!”
Hearing his words, the audiences start discussing again.
Seeing it not go on well, Supervisor Wu says, “Director Xia, it is normal to have some disagreements. If it is really not good, we may change in the future. It is unnecessary to bring the problems of our department to all the people here.”
“Sister Xia…” Gu Ruoruo is a little worried. She looks at Xia Ning. In her opinion, Supervisor Guo is a traditional man and he is a little strange in personality. However, how can he do something evil?
There are more discussions, which make louder noises. And most of the audiences stand on Guo Jiezhong’s side. Guo Jiezhong can’t help lifting his lips.
Ha. Seemingly, Xia Ning underestimates him. She wants him to make confessions with a phone? What a joke!
“Director Xia, I know you are angry. I here apologize to you. However, honest words are not good to listen. I hope you can listen to me. It will be helpful for you to get along with people and do things…
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Good. Supervisor Guo, this is your choice. I gave you the opportunity.”
