My Little Sweet Wife 2

Chapter 268 - Unexpected Meeting II

There was a press conference in the company, so Jennie as an intern needed to participate.

"Jen, haven't you worked for our company before? If I'm not mistaken, there was a story of two old men who had built the 'Love Stairs' the previous summer. Which newspaper edition was that? I can't find it on the computer."

Jennie paused for a moment. As she was thinking about it, someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

"Little Kim."

It was Jackson, who worked alongside her two years ago. Jackson, aged thirty-three, had just divorced his ex-wife, and had no children, and was one of the people in charge of their newspaper. He was an editor-in-chief who also worked in the Department of Commerce.

Two years ago, Jennie had just graduated from university and joined the company as an intern, and Jackson was her trainee mentor, who helped her a lot. At that time, there were rumors in the company that Jennie would be promoted as soon as she entered the company. It was said that she was promoted upon entering the company due to Jackson's hidden rules.

It caused a bad effect, so the two of them didn't get to know each other much. Now that she saw him again, although she didn't feel awkward at all, she did feel a little surprised, especially when the gazes of some old employees in the company focused on them.

Jennie greeted him with a broad smile, polite and distant. Jackson didn't walk towards her. He just smiled at her and headed straight to another exhibition area to check the layout.

The projector began broadcasting some of the company's magazine and newspaper's special topics. Jennie had made the post, but in reality, it was nothing more than some relevant information. Once it was compiled, the newspaper report will be displayed at their annual exhibition.

Halfway through the arrangement for the exhibition, the whispers of a few old employees from the company were heard, "Say, when our editor-in-chief Wang had just divorced that year, Jennie came to our company for an internship? And since editor-in-chief Wang was so good to her, was she the mistress who ruined his marriage?"

"Who knew? At that time there were so many seniors in our company, how could they promote her to be the chief editor of the small department in more than a year? I don't believe if anyone says that she wasn't under the influence of the unwritten rules! Besides, I was still suspicious of her. Didn't she resign a few months ago? So, why is she back? What game is she playing?"

These people's voices were not so loud, but at this time, no voices were heard from the crowd, so that their voices were heard by almost half of the people present.

The entire hall was silent.

This wasn't the first time this had happened to Jennie. Sometimes, it was hard to tell what was happening to the world. When a man's subordinates were promoted to higher levels, the woman must have slept with him.

In those two years, she didn't have any ambiguous relationships with Jackson, other than as colleagues. Later on, when they discussed a topic, they had to include other colleagues with them as well.

Jennie didn't sit close to him at a company gathering, neither did she dare to send him off when they went to the same place.

She, Jennie, had never let anyone down in her life, but why did employees at this company often find fault with her. She couldn't argue. The more she tried to argue, the more it would be distorted. She could only smile and look at the women who were still whispering.

When you were swimming without a lifebuoy, if you didn't have a swimming coach, and swimming deep into the stormy sea, you would learn much faster than you would in a swimming pool, because if you couldn't learn very well, you would drown.

When you truly drown and sink to the bottom of the sea, the onlookers would laugh and point at you, then talk about it after a meal and pretend to sigh and pity with your fate.

It was funny. If this world didn't have those deceitful scumbags and if it weren't for every step she took since she was young to survive, then she wouldn't be the current Jennie.

Sometimes it's hard to tell whether the arrows in the dark will hurt you or make you stronger.

Mei walked over and stood beside Jennie. She whispered, "These bastards, they should look themselves in the mirror. What they mock and ridicule is nothing more than jealousy!"

Jennie just smiled. When she saw Jackson's distant but concerned gaze, she curled her lips. If she had been so firm at the time, perhaps some things wouldn't have come to this.

H City, Manoban Group.

"President, Miss Zhou was waiting for you this morning again." The moment Lisa walked into Manoban Group, his new secretary replacing Du, quickly walked up to him and reported in a low voice.

At this moment, Niki's voice was heard from behind him, "Lisa!"

Lisa frowned. When his distant and cold expression shifted to Niki, it became even more indifferent. "Is something of the matter?"

Niki walked over slowly. "Lisa, I want to talk to you. You've been avoiding me recently. I-"

"I don't have time." The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound. Lisa walked straight to the elevator with a calm expression on his face.

"Lisa, I just want to ask, on that day, just what exactly did my grandfather do?" Niki hurriedly asked when she saw the elevator door slowly closed.

Lisa ignored her. The elevator door was tightly shut and Lisa's impassive face immediately disappeared.

Niki stood there in a daze, suddenly laughing at herself.

"President, Secretary Gao's job will begin in the next few days. Do you need me to call him to your office?" The moment the elevator reached the twentieth floor, Jisoo came over respectfully.

Lisa did not stop his footsteps. "Have him come to my office."

"Alright." Just as Jisoo was about to leave, she was stopped by Lisa.

"Before the Spring Festival, all the country's financial executives will have a meeting in F City. I will be there earlier because the work that needs to be completed in half a month has already been completed." He said lightly.

"Earlier?" Jisoo was stunned. "But the Spring Festival is coming soon. You have some meetings in Beijing before the Spring Festival. How long do you plan to stay in F City?"

Lisa walked straight to his office and said, "At least half a month."

"Half...Half a month ..." Jisoo was dumbfounded. 'Is President not planning to go to Beijing this year?'
