He immediately instructed his assistant:
“Issue a public statement clarifying the rumors about me. Additionally, my office is off-limits to unauthorized personnel.”
This clearly states a position.
Wen Jian and Wang Yan were dumbfounded. It seemed they had really quarreled? And even broken up? That’s why they’ve been so down lately.
But looking at Lin Zhifei, he truly seemed heartless and carefree, his emotions seemingly unaffected by anything.
Lin Zhixuan, of course, was unaffected. After arranging Fu Shenyi’s meeting, he went to the Human Resources department excitedly and applied for the headhunting fee.
When the HR department saw her, their eyes darted away and they quickly shut down the internal network announcement.
Lin Zhihao is an external party and cannot see the internal network of Zhuoyuan Technology, nor does he care. He just stated his purpose.
The head of human resources came out and said…
“I’m sorry, Manager Lin. This headhunting fee doesn’t meet the application requirements. We only pay 60% of the fee after the candidate starts working, and the remaining balance is paid after the probationary period. Currently, this position is still in the negotiation stage, no offer has been issued, and no one has started working. It doesn’t meet our regulations.”
“Yes, but this position is special. It was approved by Mr. Zhu personally.”
“Mr. Lin, is there a special approval document? Or just an oral commitment?” The head of the Human Resources department spoke in a gentle tone but with a resolute attitude.
“An oral promise,” she answered truthfully. As Zhu Yu’an, she had never doubted the validity of an oral promise.
“Sorry, we only look at black and white documents.”
“Okay, I’ll have Mr. Zhu speak to you.”
Lin Zhixuan immediately sent a WeChat voice call, the result…
He was blocked by Zhu Yu’an….
When was I blocked?
The director of human resources, with a stoic expression, watched her performance silently.
From then on, Lin Zhifei suddenly realized that everything was a blank check opened by Zhuo Yu’an from beginning to end, and he never intended to cash it? And for this fee, he blocked her.
Her temper flared, and she immediately stormed out to Zhuo Yuan’an’s office. No matter how she thought about it, she didn’t believe he was that kind of person.
His assistant, seeing her from afar, rushed out to stop her and prevent her from entering.
“As Mr. Zhuo has ordered, Manager Lin, please don’t make things difficult for me, okay? Besides, if we go in, things will only get heated and embarrassing.”
The assistant sincerely advised.
Damn!
Lin Zhifei was so angry and humiliated for the first time in his life. He had eaten a dumb loss. It was also the first time he had failed to see through someone, and he never expected Zhuo YUAN to be such a liar.
On the way to work with Shu Tinglan the next day, she couldn’t help but curse Zhu Yunan’s ancestors for eighteen generations.
Have you ever met someone like him, who goes back on their word? He promised me before going to Hu’an City, but then he changed his mind.
“If he doesn’t want to pay, he could just say no or tell me straight up instead of letting me go to HR and finance like an idiot getting laughed at. I’m so angry.”
Lin Zhiyao cursed all the way, Shu Tinglan listened quietly. She thought, Zhuo Yu’an did this just to show her.
He is just using this incident to embarrass her. Those who have grievances against each other should settle their scores directly. Why make things difficult for Lin Zhi?
As soon as she got off the subway and arrived at Zhuoyuan Technology, she went straight upstairs to Zhu YUAN’s office. His assistant saw her and hurriedly came out to stop her.
“Mr. Shu, Mr. Zhuo is in a meeting right now. Is there anything I can tell him for you?”
“No need, I’ll wait for him in his office.” Shu Tinglan ignored her assistant’s obstruction and strode directly into his office. In fact, she was very nervous inside, but she had to muster her courage and fight hard for Lin Zhixuan’s due rights, otherwise, if she lost her nerve later, she wouldn’t even dare to speak a word.
“Mr. Shu…” Let me know if you’d like to translate anything else! ?
“Mr. Shu, you can’t enter without an appointment.” The assistant hurried behind him.
Shu Tinglan had already pushed open the door to his office with one hand.
As a result, they were indeed in a meeting.
Wen Jian and Wang Yan were in his office, probably having a product development meeting and discussing Rian’s work. The three of them sat around the small conference table in his office, all looking at the door as she burst in.
“Mr. Zhuo, whenever you want to come into your office?” Wen Jian was in the middle of a heated discussion with Wang Yan over product design philosophies and was interrupted, leaving him in a bad mood as he looked at Shu Tinglan.
Zuo Yu’an also frowned and looked at her, without speaking.
Only Wang Yan had a gentle expression as he greeted.
“Mr. Shu, what brings you to see Mr. Zhu? We’re in a meeting right now. If it’s not urgent, please come back later?”
Shū Tínglán nodded.
“Excuse me, I’m waiting outside.” She hadn’t expected them to be having a meeting in Zhuo YUAN’s office and was about to quietly leave.
Result, Zhuo Yu’an called out to her.
What’s up?
He frowned slightly, paused the meeting, and rose to his feet, walking towards his desk. He beckoned for Shu Tinglan to enter.
Shu Tinglan glanced at Wen Jian and Wang Yan at the conference table beside him. These words were not appropriate to bring up in front of them.
“Perhaps I’ll come another day.” She started to back out.
Shū Tínglán, I’m busy. Just get to the point.” He looked at her coldly, with no extra expression, but he sat back in his seat and waited for her to speak, patiently as ever.
This person always seems contradictory.
Wen Jian and Wang Yan also looked over here. In their view, Shu Tinglan must have come for Lin Zhifei and Zhuo Yu’an’s breakup, what a good friend.
As expected, Shu Tinglan said:
“If it’s because of me, I apologize to you.”
Zhuo Yu’an was suddenly puzzled, raised an eyebrow without responding, and waited for her to continue.
“Regarding this position, ask Fu Shenyi to come to Senzhou to meet you. She put in a lot of effort behind the scenes and it wasn’t as effortless and carefree as she appears.”
“Get to the point.” Zhuo Yu’an was completely clueless about what she was talking about. How did it suddenly shift to Lin Zhi?
“My point is, even though we can’t be lovers, this has nothing to do with Lin Zhixuan. She put a lot of effort into this position, how can you go back on your word and not pay her commission? Besides, given her personality, she will definitely continue to follow up with Fu Shenyi until he joins Zhuoyuan Technology.”
Zuo Yu’an just stared at her, digesting her words. So it was the subordinate department or finance department that had made Lin Zhihao difficult? So she came to his office aggressively to seek justice for Lin Zhihao? Thinking it was his order?
He smiled bitterly, she truly never understood him, not one bit.
“Okay, I understand.” He responded with a quiet nod, offering no explanation for himself. She thought he was a scoundrel, and perhaps he was.
Wen Jian and Wang Yan were stunned, listening as Shu Tinglan spoke: “We weren’t able to develop into lovers.”
So what’s the situation?
Is Zhuo Yu’an truly with Lin Zhixuan or Shu Tinglan? Or is he perhaps playing the field, romantically involved with both?
No, no, with their understanding of Zhu Yuyan, he would never be the kind to have his foot in two boats.
