Who Moved My Ashes | wlw

Jiang Xichu's chest heaved heavily, she walked three laps around her office angrily, then returned to Chen Man's desk. She placed her hands on the desk, held onto the edge with her fingers and angrily spat, "Why can't you understand me? That piece of land can't be invested. Ten years ago, it was a sewage outlet for a chemical factory. If you buy it, you'll suffer financial loss and go back to your grandmother's house!"

Chen Man looked at her coldly. "I've already said that I'm going to buy that piece of land. What's wrong with bad soil? I'm not going to plant crops on that land!"

"What are you going to use it for? Tell me, what else can that land be used for?!"

Jiang Xichu eyes concentrated on hers. She wouldn't have known that she was the general manager. Chen Man didn't want to show weakness. After a while, she snorted, "I won't tell you."

Jiang Xichu choked up offended.

Outside the general manager's office was the administrative office, and the other secretaries had their ears glued to the door, listening carefully to their argument.

Secretary Zhou: "Secretary Jiang is too brave."

Secretary Yang: "Nonsense, you came in late Xiao Zhou, so you don't know. In our company, secretary Jiang and Chen are on equal footing."

Secretary Li: "Nonsense, obviously Secretary Jiang's position is a little higher than president Chen."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

She's only been in this company for two months. She had prepared herself for a career that would be ten million times more complicated than a university relationship, but this was too complicated! 

Secretary Yang patted her shoulder sympathetically and reminded her, "Secretary Jiang and Chen are high school and college alumnus. The two has been working together since graduation. When they talk, you must never walk in."

Secretary Xiao Zhou nodded ignorantly, "I see. Is the relationship between secretary Jiang and general manager Chen particularly good?" 

Secretary Yang smiled miserably. She pointed with her chin towards the general manager's office. "Listen, is this a relationship?"

The office door was solid wood, with good sound insulation. Even so, you could still hear secretary Jiang's roar.

"Ah, ah, ah, why so angry with me! I don't care! Chen Man, you're chasing your loss!" 

It was quiet for three seconds. Secretary Jiang's voice was heard again, "What did you say? Chasing?! I'll give you proof!"

Upon hearing this sentence, all the secretaries immediately returned to their posts. Each of them seriously looked at their computer screen and the key typing continued. 

Jiang Xichu came out of the office, she glanced at her colleagues, and then smiled very kindly. "I'll be going to the IRS and won't be back for lunch. You should take a break at noon..."

The other secretaries: "......"

Everyone smiled politely at her, until Jiang Xichu left, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads with relief.

What frightened the secretaries more than having a moody general manager was having an even moodier chief secretary who directly managed them.

She maintained a friendly smile and professional temperament. Jiang Xichu stood alone in the elevator from the 23rd floor to the 1st floor, and her anger almost dissipated. She thought about it, the company nor the money didn't belong to her. What was she so angry about? Anyway, she had already given her advice. It was Chen Man's business not to listen.
