Chapter 221 The Hidden Boss (1/2)

“Director, I have something to say!”

When Gu Ruoruo is arguing with Li Shi, someone in the meeting room speaks in a loud voice.

Xia Ning is just to respond when she finds that it is Fang Zheng. She hesitates for a little while, “Assistant Fang, what do you want to say?”

Fang Zheng stands up, “In my opinion, we have the meeting to communicate with other sections on experience and suggestions. It should not be a criticizing meeting like this. If we continue the meeting in this way, we will only have a fiercer arguing, which solves no problems.”

Li Shi lifts her eyebrows. She doesn’t speak in a very loud voice, but what she says is clearly heard, “Boy, you are a real flatterer!”

“I am not flattering! I am telling the truth!”

“Ha. I am also telling the truth.” Li Shi looks sideways at Fang Zheng. Boy, you are too junior to go against me.

“Wait.” At the time, Hua Tangli speaks, “I agree with Assistant Fang. The meeting should not end up criticizing someone. In addition, Director Xia doesn’t do anything wrong. Why do we magnify the problem?”

“Another man!” Li Shi says while staring at her fingernails.

The atmosphere turns tense. The sensitive issue is mentioned and everybody doesn’t dare discuss further.

However, what happens between Xia Ning and Gu Luan has actually been an “open secret”.

“Supervisor Li.” Xia Ning turns to Li Shi, “Please explain what do you mean by ‘something between Director Gu and me’.”

Anyway, it is mentioned. Let the storm rage!

Li Shi blinks her eyes. She pretends to be innocent, “Director, I said nothing. Please don’t take it wrong. I only said that you were a popular person with the Director. I didn’t dare offend you. If I said something wrong. I admit that I am wrong. I am still young. Please forgive me.”

“Based on what you said, no matter who Director Gu may attach importance to in the future, there must be something between them? According to your logic, will anybody dare work hard? It is right, you are young and haven’t stayed at the company for a long time. But you are not a primary student. You should know what is called thoughtless speeches!”

Li Shi pauses, “Sorry. I am wrong. Director, please forgive me. I will pay attention to that next time.”

Xia Ning looks at Li Shi. She slightly lifts her lips. Seemingly, the hidden boss of the recent rumors issue is found.

“OK. Let’s stop talking about my issue. Everyone can speak out his or her opinions.” Xia Ning says and winks at Gu Ruoruo.

Gu Ruoruo stares at Li Shi and opens her notebook to get ready for note-taking.

Strangely, the staff are supposed to speak freely, but none of them dare say anything.

Xia Ning slightly frowns. It seems that during the two weeks when she was away, some things changed.

It is not surprising…that Gu Luan had to take care of the department himself.

Or, when she comes back, the position of the Director may not be available for her any longer.

In an instant, Xia Ning tightens her heart. Gu Luan cares for her so much that he has really kind of crossed the line.

No one speaks. Xia Ning opens the roster to read the information of each carefully.

The director doesn’t speak and other people don’t speak, either. So, it turns so quiet that even their breaths sound obvious.

The long-time silence makes some people feel impatient. Some whispers are heard. Xia Ning still keeps reading the roster.

Then, Gu Ruoruo says, “Everyone, you may try to speak out your opinions openly. Don’t have private discussions.”

Gu Ruoruo’s words are heard and the discussion stops again.

Xia Ning darkens her eyes.
