Chapter 261 Who Is Naïve?

Gu Luan throws the question to the supervisors of the Entertainment Department. As if Gu Luan has just thrown a bomb to them, Supervisor Wu and Supervisor Guo change their colors. They glance at each other and ponder about their opinions.

Hua Tangli doesn’t feel annoyed about that. He frankly responds, “I absolutely agree. Everyone sees Director’s achievements in these years. If we are concerned about the faults. Who never did anything wrong? The Weekly attaches most importance to work attitude. I agree. Supervisor Wu, Supervisor Guo, what’s your opinion?”

Supervisor Wu hesitates for quite a while and then she says, “Xia Ning does work hard. But I am worried that Xia Ning is still too young. If she gets promoted directly, other people may not be convinced and it will bring disadvantages to her future development. So, I will keep my opinion.”

Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Supervisor Wu, you only need to say you agree or disagree.”

Supervisor Wu frowns. She thinks for a while and responds, “I disagree.”

“OK.” Gu Luan asks Guo Jiezhong directly, “Supervisor Guo, what’s your opinion?”

Guo Jiezhong lifts his black-framed glasses, “We belong to the same department. We shouldn’t give different opinions. However, as long-term consideration, I agree with Supervisor Wu. Director Xia is lack of experience. The higher she flies, the more heavily she may fall. I disagree.”

In the Entertainment Department, Li Shi has left and there are only three supervisors now. One agrees while the other two disagree. Two to one. Xia Ning is put at a disadvantage.

Hua Tangli is worried, “Supervisor Wu, Supervisor Guo, you have to be honest! Director Xia has always been kind to us. She earns her position by her real ability! How can you say that she lacks experience? In addition, Director Xia is our boss…”

“Supervisor Hua!” Supervisor Guo interrupts, “We are in a meeting. Don’t make nonsense arguments! Director Wu and I both speak honestly!”

“How can you young man be so impulsive?” Director Wu shakes her head, “I surely know that she is our boss. But we have to think about the general benefit! Do you understand?”

Suddenly, a burst of light laughter is heard from the crowd. Everyone is shocked. They turn to the sound. It is Gu Luan laughing.

“Think about the general benefit.” Gu Luan smiles and shakes his head, “I don’t know which general benefit you mean.”

Gu Luan is implying something. No one dares respond.

“Director Gu, among the three supervisors in the Entertainment Department, two disagree. It is obvious that people are not convinced of the selection.” Wan Liqing says, “I hope Director Gu may think it over again.”

Gu Luan blinks his eyes. He gently smiles, “Director Wan, if you hadn’t been away for five years, you would have been the absolute selection of this year’s excellent employee.”

Wan Liqing feels stuck and she can’t speak a word in an instant.

Gu Luan turns to Leng Weiwei, “Chief Editor Leng, what do you think?”

“It is up to you.” Leng Weiwei responds with no hesitation.

“Good.” Gu Luan says in a serious voice, “Supervisor Guo, you said that Director Xia was lack of experience. In this aspect, I am also lack of experience as the director of the Weekly. Do you think I should resign my position?”

Not expecting that Gu Luan will counterattack him, Guo Jiezhong is panic. He responds at once, “Director Gu, you misunderstand. I didn’t mean that…”

“We know whether you mean that or not.” Gu Luan responds indifferently. He glances at Supervisor Wu, “Supervisor Wu, am I young?”

Even though Gu Luan hasn’t finished his words, Supervisor Wu knows what he is going to say. She responds, “Director Gu, we can’t make the comparison in this way. You are you, while Xia Ning is Xia Ning. She is very far from you…”

“It seems that you divide people into different grades in your mind.” Gu Luan puts on a seeming smile, “It is correct. Director Xia is very young. But that is not the point. I now admire Director Xia very much. Under the resistance of Supervisor Guo and you, and Li Shi, the previous supervisor, the Entertainment Department still achieves such a good score. Director Xia’s ability is considerable! I dare say. In the whole World Era Weekly, Director Xia is the only person who can take up the burden of managing the Entertainment Department!”

Gu Luan has just finished his words when some weak but clear claps are heard. Everyone turns their eyes to the sound. It is Gu Ruoruo clapping her hands.

Gu Ruoruo is aware that everyone is looking at her. She blinks her eyes and lowers her head to continue with the note-taking.

Though she doesn’t like Xia Ning very much, Xia Ning taught her a lot at work and about life. She appreciates Xi Ning very much. When Supervisor Guo and Supervisor Wu said that they disagreed, Guo Ruoruo wanted to argue with them. However, she had to restrain herself because of her position.

Well. When they are in daily work, everybody cooperates very well. Why when it comes to the critical comment, problems happen? And why is Sister Liqing so excited?

“Entertainment Department is lack of a supervisor. It will be arranged in a few days. Well, I want to ask Supervisor Guo. How do you think Assistant Fang does his job?”

Guo Jiezhong is surprised. He responds politely, “He is a senior employee. He always obeys the regulations and rules. He helped me a lot.”

“He has been working under you for five years, hasn’t he?”

“Yes, he has.”

“He is such a good assistant. Why when something happened to him, you refused his request for leave?”

Guo Jiezhong hesitates for a while, “It happened to be the busiest time when he asked for the leave. So, I can’t permit it.”

“Oh.” Gu Luan responds meaningfully, “It turns out that World Era Weekly is such an inconsiderate company. I know it now.”

Guo Jiezhong slightly changes his color, “It is nothing like that. I have permitted his request for a leave. He is having a vacation at home.”

“Do you?” Gu Luan smiles coldly. He throws Fang Zheng’s resignation letter onto the desk, “If you really permitted his request, why would he resign?”

Seeing the resignation letter on the desk, Guo Jiezhong is shocked, “Well. Director Gu, I really know nothing about his resignation. I admit my fault. You may punish me.”
