<h4>Chapter 268 - Unexpected Meeting II</h4>


    There was a press conference in thepany, so Jiang Run as an intern needed to participate.


    "Sis Jiang, haven''t you worked for ourpany 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 theputer."


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


    "Little Jiang."


    It was Wan Shoushan, who worked alongside her two years ago. Wan Shoushan, 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, Jiang Run had just graduated from university and joined thepany as an intern, and Wan Shoushan was her trainee mentor, who helped her a lot. At that time, there were rumors in thepany that Jiang Run would be promoted as soon as she entered thepany. It was said that she was promoted upon entering thepany due to Wan Shoushan''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 thepany focused on them.


    Jiang Run greeted him with a broad smile, polite and distant. Wan Shoushan didn''t walk towards her. He just smiled at her and headed straight to another exhibition area to check theyout.


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


    Halfway through the arrangement for the exhibition, the whispers of a few old employees from thepany were heard, "Say, when our editor-in-chief Wan had just divorced that year, wasn''t Jiang Run came to ourpany for an internship? And since editor-in-chief Wan was so good to her, was she the mistress who ruined his marriage?"


    "Who knew? At that time there were so many seniors in ourpany, 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 ying?"


    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 Jiang Run. 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 rtionships with Wan Shoushan, other than as colleagues. Later on, when they discussed a topic, they had to include other colleagues with them as well.


    Jiang Run didn''t sit close to him at apany gathering, neither did she dare to send him off when they went to the same ce.


    She, Jiang Run, had never let anyone down in her life, but why did employees at thispany 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 wouldugh 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 Jiang Run.


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


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


    Jiang Run just smiled. When she saw Wan Shoushan''s distant but concerned gaze, she curled her lips. If she had been so firm at the time, perhaps some things wouldn''t havee to this.


    ***


    H City, Xian Group.


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


    At this moment, Zhou Shufen''s voice was heard from behind him, "Zihao!"


    Xian Zihao frowned. When his distant and cold expression shifted to Zhou Shufen, it became even more indifferent. "Is something matter?"


    Zhou Shufen walked over slowly. "Zihao, 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. Xian Zihao walked straight to the elevator with a calm expression on his face.


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


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


    Zhou Shufen stood there in a daze, suddenlyughing at herself.


    "President Xian, 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, Assistant Bai came over respectfully.


    Xian Zihao did not stop his footsteps. "Have hime to my office."


    "Alright." Just as Assistant Bai was about to leave, she was stopped by Xian Zihao.


    "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 bepleted in half a month has already beenpleted." He said lightly.


    "Earlier?" Assistant Bai was stunned. "But the Spring Festival ising soon. You have some meetings in Beijing before the Spring Festival. How long do you n to stay in F City?"


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


    "Half...Half a month …" Assistant Bai was dumbfounded. ''Is President Xian not nning to go to Beijing this year?''
