Chapter 20: Not Giving Her a Chance
675 Words
After a while, Lu Yuchuan sat back in his office chair, dignified and calm, steady and unassuming.
Jiang Nan followed him again and handed him a document, "CEO, this is the financial report for the last quarter."
"Is Mu Chen's hand better?" Lu Yuchuan took the report, his long fingers distinct.
He asked with concern, "If it's not better, let him rest for a few more days. You'll have to work a bit harder."
"I spoke with him on the phone this morning, and he said he'll be back on duty tomorrow. It should be fine."
"Good." The man nodded, looking at the report while speaking, "With him back, your workload will be lighter."
Jiang Nan nodded without speaking, saluted, and left.
Soon, a cup of coffee was brought to him, placed gently on the table before the person left again.
11th floor, design department's large office.
Tong Hua looked through the materials related to the "Eternal Gaze" series again. She was quite interested; maybe she could really show off her skills.
Although she had never designed jewelry before, she had designed clothing, and design was universal.
Both required the designer's own emotions to be incorporated, as only things with emotions had souls.
Just as she was enthusiastically considering trying it out, Jiang Nan handed her a thick stack of documents, "Tong Hua, go make three copies of these."
Watching Jiang Nan casually throw the thick file onto her desk, Tong Hua was almost startled. Thankfully, she reacted quickly; there must be thousands of pages in it, right?
Jiang Nan left without even looking back, leaving Tong Hua dumbfounded!
She looked around, puzzled. Didn't the design department have assistants? Why did she have to do this kind of thing?
But she felt that she was new here and needed to adapt to the rules of the workplace. So, Tong Hua completed the task without complaint, taking her a whole hour.
When she handed the copied materials to Jiang Nan's office, "Director Jiang, it's done!" she said, preparing to leave.
"Tong Hua, wait!" Jiang Nan called out to her.
The girl turned her head and smiled, "Director Jiang, do you have any other orders?"
"I want you to take a look at the materials for the 'Eternal Gaze' series, just to understand, you don't need to participate in the design."
"Why?" the girl frowned, quickly coming to the desk, "But I'm also a designer!"
Jiang Nan looked at her intently, her expression as if she had just heard a joke. She picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and looked at Tong Hua appraisingly, "You're a designer? Do you have any works? Have you won any awards? Do you have any historical achievements?"
These series of questions left her speechless.
Just as Tong Hua was organizing her thoughts and preparing to say something for herself, Jiang Nan spoke again, "You're still in your probation period; just do some odd jobs for now to hone your skills."
The probation period was two months, but this series had to be submitted within a month! She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Director Jiang, I..."
"Get out."
"Jiang..."
"Get out!"
Jiang Nan's tone became colder and more forceful, interrupting her again.
At this moment, the office phone rang, and Jiang Nan started answering the call. Tong Hua had no choice but to turn and leave.
Feeling a bit disheartened, she returned to her workstation, feeling quite upset.
Soon, her phone rang, pulling her thoughts back. She saw it was from Grandpa Lu.
So, she composed herself and quickly found a corner with no one around to answer the call.
"Hello, Grandpa," the girl's voice was small and sweet.
"Xiaohua, how have you been considering what Grandpa mentioned to you before?" the old man asked kindly, "When can we arrange for both families to meet?"
She knew she couldn't avoid this matter, so she thought for a moment and said to the old man, "How about Saturday? Yuchuan has just taken office recently, so he must be busy."
