Chapter 1611: Apologetic (3)
The cold smile on Dongfang Rou’er’s face became even more obvious as she stared at Dongfang Liuyun—
‘Pa—’
A sound rang out as a gust of cold wind brushed past her hair. Dongfang Liuyun lowered her head to take a look and realized that there was a blue folder in front of her.
“This is the plan for the launch of the new products for the Mid-autumn Festival next month. The higher-ups have decided to plan an event to raise the popularity of the new products. Our Public Relations department and the Planning Department have a lot of things on our hands, so the higher-ups have decided to let your Marketing Department plan and host the event. In any case, your Marketing Department should be the one who understands the market the most. I’ll leave this task to you. I hope that you can give the company a satisfactory answer on the day of the Mid-autumn Festival.”
Dongfang Rou’er smiled cheerfully. Her eyes were filled with encouragement, but Dongfang Liuyun could detect a trace of playfulness within them.
Dongfang Liuyun looked at her for a while. She reached out to open the folder and took a few glances. In her heart, she had a rough idea of what to do—
It was basically incomplete information, and the information given was very general. To make it a hot topic within a month’s time was clear that they wanted to see Dongfang Liuyun as a joke. Furthermore, these information were prepared by the Planning Department, if she was unhappy with the Planning Department because of this matter, it seemed to be exactly what this woman wanted.
Dongfang Liuyun reached out and moved the doc.u.ment back, “Send the information over after it is fully prepared. The time is very short, and I don’t want to delay the progress of the work because of some unnecessary trouble. Plus, you’re not my immediate superior. After you have prepared this information, please hand it over to Vice President Zhang, who is in charge of our Marketing Department. I don’t remember when Dongfang group’s departments could directly do things without having to pa.s.s it on to the higher-ups, especially for such a large project. Manager Rou, haven’t you memorized the company’s rules before you came in? Or have you been wasting your time here these past few years, turning a blind eye to the company’s rules?”
When she said this, Dongfang Rou’er was startled. Her face turned pale and she replied, “There’s Manager Lin’s signature at the end of the page. I didn’t overstep my authority. You’d better watch what you say.”
“Is that so? I forgot to read it, but since that’s the case, you still have to complete the information and hand it over to Manager Lin. Our Marketing Department has quite a few managers. Who knows if she thinks I can take on this role? Also, I will carefully study the information she prepared for me.”
Dongfang Liuyun said bluntly, “Ah Ling, send Manager Rou out.”
Following that, the eviction order was given.
Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and took the doc.u.ment back. She glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and did not get angry. “Sometimes, I really have to admire your meticulous thinking. It’s really hard to make you suffer, Fourth Sister.”
“I will also treat today’s matter as a test for you, Fifth Sister. However, I don’t know if you are satisfied with my performance?”
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and quickly took over Dongfang Rou’er’s words.
Dongfang Rou’er was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Of course I’m satisfied. Fourth Sister is indeed Fourth Sister.”
After saying that, she picked up the doc.u.ment in front of her and stood up. She then turned around and walked towards the door.
Ding Xiaoling had just walked in. When she heard the words of the two sisters, she heaved a sigh of relief. She watched Dongfang Rou’er’s figure as she walked past. After a long while, she looked at Dongfang Liuyun, who had already turned on her computer, and asked, “Manager Yun, are you okay? Manager Rou’s expression doesn’t seem right. ”
“I’m fine. You can go out first.”
“Okay, Manager Yun.”
…
When the door closed, Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a moment. Then, she took her cell phone and dialed a number. The person who answered the call was Lan Xiu.
“When will you arrive in City Z?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.
“Do you want to pick me up? I’ll arrive at six in the evening. Let’s have dinner together,” Lan Xiu coughed a few times and said.
“Do you have a cold?”
Dongfang Liuyun could hear it with her sharp ears.
“It’s okay, the air conditioning was just too strong at night. Come out for dinner tonight. It’s just you and me. I can tell you about Mr. Ge. Otherwise, I can ask Ah Li to buy some ingredients to cook at home.”
“I can’t tonight. I have an appointment with my father. I want to meet a few people.”
“You have an appointment with Uncle Dongfang? Okay, I can’t fight with Uncle Dongfang. You have to be careful. I heard about Uncle Dongfang’s incident and what happened in the hotel last time. I have also roughly checked. It was done by people who were fired from the Dongfang group. These are troubled times. You have to be careful,” said Lan Xiu with concern.
“I know, and you too. I’ve roughly looked through the information you sent me. Since there are no problems with Mr. Ge’s side, he should be able to pa.s.s.”
“Liuyun, you know about this project. Actually, Fujiwara was also involved in it. The reason why Mr. Ge agreed so quickly was because he had considered Fujiwara, so…,” Lan Xiu said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment and then replied, “It’s okay. Since we’ve decided to let this pa.s.s, we’ll have to face it sooner or later. Lan Xiu, we just need to be ourselves. We don’t need to care about anything else. If he wants to be involved, then let him be. We just need to make sure we don’t lose out. As for other people, we can’t care too much.”
“Is he ‘other people’ now? Liuyun?”
As soon as Dongfang Liuyun finished, Lan Xiu immediately asked.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her head slightly and took a deep breath. Her starry eyes blinked for a long while before she said, “It can only be that way.”
“You’re sad.”
An affirmative tone came from the other end of the line.
Dongfang Liuyun eased up a little before she said, “It’s fine. I can’t say that I’m sad. I’m just feeling a little emotional. I think perhaps I won’t be anymore.”
“I heard that he’s not doing well.”
“I’m not doing well either. Don’t always speak up for him. Besides, you don’t have to change anything because of me. No matter what, I can understand your position. I won’t blame you and I cherish our friendship.”
As Dongfang Liuyun said this, she did not want to continue. “That’s all for now. Let’s talk when you get back.”
When she put away the phone, there was a knock on the door. Ah Ling walked in, followed by a woman who was holding a large bouquet of flowers. She looked like someone from the flower shop.
“Manager Yun, this is the lady boss of the flower shop. She has something to hand to you personally,” said Ah Ling.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of her with some doubt.
The woman took a step forward respectfully and brought a bunch of blooming white roses to Dongfang Liuyun. She smiled and said—
