“What do you know!? You can’t understand how shrewd Second Brother is. Vice President Ren has been defeated by him many times, not to mention Third Brother and the others. If we really do this project, even if the results are good, it won’t just be Vice President Ren’s credit. Besides, with Second Brother watching, who knows if he will deliberately make things difficult for us? The two of them have always been at loggerheads. I really don’t understand what Third Brother is trying to do. It’s already decided by their votes. They clearly know that those old fellows are people that no one wants to offend!”
Lin Yuanyuan grumbled, and her expression was extremely unsightly.
The secretary wanted to say something else, but a series of knocks came from outside the door. Both of their gazes turned towards the door, and only then did they realize that Dongfang Rou’er’s figure had already entered their sights.
“Manager Rou!”
The secretary quickly greeted her.
Dongfang Rou’er walked in and gave the secretary a look. The secretary quickly understood and left.
“Mother, why are you still so angry? Are you still angry about what happened this morning? I just came back from outside and went to father’s place. He wasn’t even angry or anxious, but you’re the one who couldn’t hold your temper first! We still don’t know what Tai Yu Corporation is thinking, so don’t be anxious!”
Dongfang Rou’er frowned slightly.
“I know. I’m going crazy with anger. I’ve done so much work, and now we’re going to let Second Brother and the others to come over and get a share. With those eyes staring at us, do you think we can easily complete this project? Not to mention that all the preparations we made before are for him to know. Thinking of this, I feel unconvinced! This project is the result of our hard work. If it wasn’t for us, would the Tai Yu Corporation team have settled this matter so quickly?”
“Rou’er, we have to think of a way to squeeze Second Brother out. Otherwise, our work will definitely be very restrained and passive! Otherwise, it will be meaningless to win this project!”
“Mother! How can you say such things now! We’ve been fighting for this project, if we were to throw it out now, wouldn’t it be letting others take advantage for nothing? Furthermore, how would others view us? I’m afraid we can only accept it this problem. That’s what father wants. He’s worried that you won’t be able to keep your cool and do something, so he asked me to come over and give you some advice.”
Dongfang Rou’er sighed helplessly. As she spoke, she pulled out the chair in front of Lin Yuanyuan’s office desk and sat down.
“Your father is really able to keep his cool.”
Only then did Lin Yuanyuan ease up a little.
“What can we do if not keep your cool? Unless we can convince the people from Tai Yu Corporation to personally appoint us as the only ones to work together? I’ve looked for him several times. Forget about Tai Yu Corporation’s President Qi, I haven’t even seen his secretary. President Qi doesn’t accept any of our appointments at all. The news from Vice President Wang Chun will only come after the inspection. Right now, the attitude over there is generally satisfactory. I don’t know what arrangements they have made over there.”
When Dongfang Rou’er said this, she could not help but get a headache!
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you go to Tai Yu Corporation again tomorrow? If one won’t do, then two, three times! I think with the current situation, the people over there shouldn’t be so disrespectful.”
Lin Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then paused before continuing, “If that’s not enough, then we can only let your father make a trip over personally. We have to consider this matter from a long-term perspective. I’ll get someone to investigate what exactly President Qi’s hobbies are. If we can find the right way to solve this, it might save us some trouble.”
“Who knows, mother! This Qi Lei used to have a reputation. With the huge change in the Qi family, his personality seems to have become much more restrained. Now, we can’t see through him at all. Moreover, you should have heard of his tricks in the past one or two years. In the film and television industry, Tai Yu Corporation, is practically a monopoly, not to mention his cooperation with Glory World Corporation and his connections. I feel that he is a little mysterious.”
Dongfang Rou’er pondered as she spoke.
After hearing this, Lin Yuanyuan stopped moving and slowly sat down on the chair behind her. “What you said isn’t unreasonable. But if that’s the case, what else can we do? Sigh, just thinking about this matter gives me a headache!”
“Mother, it’s okay. You shouldn’t worry so much, worrying won’t solve anything anyway. Let Father and Brother worry about it. Aren’t they the ones who make the decisions every time? Our opinions are just for reference. They’re experienced in handling matters, so they should be able to think of some good ideas,” Dongfang Rou’er advised.
Lin Yuanyuan nodded, “Alright, I got it! Oh right, weren’t you sent to Dongfang Liuyun’s side to help? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Be careful that she and the Human Resources Department expose you. There’s nothing that little witch wouldn’t dare to do. This temper of hers is inherited from her mother, Song Siting! She’s pervasive! If you’re not careful, you’ll be stabbed by them!”
At this point, Lin Yuanyuan’s expression turned even uglier. The scene of the meeting on Saturday once again surfaced in her mind!
It would have been fine if Dongfang Liuyun had not been brought up, but when she mentioned it, Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes instantly turned cold!
She remembered the words that her secretary Ding Xiaoling had passed on to her!
“Where she is, there’s no room for me! Mother, it’s not like you don’t know that her self-righteous nature has always been dependent on us. I’ve said that one day, I, Dongfang Rou’er, will definitely trample her under my feet. I will definitely not lose to her, definitely!”
Dongfang Rou’er’s beautiful eyes flickered with a determined light.
“Yes, you can definitely do it, Rou’er! I can’t stand her arrogant attitude either, she thinks she’s all that. Her mother, Song Siting, is just a wild girl who came from the countryside. With her status, did she really think that she becomes a phoenix just because she married into a wealthy family? Let me tell you, this peasant will always be a peasant! Don’t think that just because she has a few phoenix feathers on her body, she has become a lady from a famous family! She should look in the mirror, looking all like a poor monkey with a sharp mouth and cheeks! Just looking at her makes me feel disgusted!”
Lin Yuanyuan did not mind at all as she scolded Song Siting. Everyone knew that she and Song Siting did not get along well. Every time the two of them met, it was almost as if they were mocking each other. Behind the scenes, Lin Yuanyuan did not shy away from saying bad things about Song Siting. Dongfang Rou’er had long gotten used to it!
“Alright, Mother, stop scolding her. Even if you scold her, she won’t be able to hear it now! Leave this matter to Father. I’ll go over to Tai Yu Corporation’s place tomorrow. Don’t lose your cool!”
