Chapter 30: Large-Scale CPU On-Site

The afternoon meeting was to be attended by Wei Zhuguan and He Jian.

The supervisor of each department took turns reporting on their department's situation, and the content of the reports was consistent with the data on the spreadsheets. The Secretary projected the electronic version of the materials onto the wall, while the manager looked at the paper version.

It was Wei Zhuguan's turn; he was just about to report while facing the projection, but Zhang Tieling asked, "Where are the materials for your department? Didn't you hand them in?"

Wei Zhuguan glanced at He Jian; He Jian had prepared the materials.

He Jian hurriedly said, "They were already sent up this morning."

Zhang Tieling flipped through some papers and asked, "Where are they?"

The people in the meeting looked at each other in dismay.

The Secretary was also there, and she vaguely remembered that the intern had sent the materials up, and she had even signed for them.

However, after the materials were given to the manager for review, they still had to pass through her hands for organization, and she was ultimately responsible for bringing them to the conference room; could it be that they were lost during this step?

Zhang Tieling looked very impatient and said, "Forget it, don't look for them. Just look at the electronic version."

The difference between the electronic version and the paper version was that the electronic version was the initial draft, while the paper version would have the manager's annotations and questions.

Because there were no paper materials, Zhang Tieling asked several questions in a row, and his face grew long, leaving Wei Zhuguan and He Jian unable to step down several times.

Finally, as it was about to end, Wei Zhuguan said, "That is all; this is the situation of my department, and my report ends here."

Zhang Tieling was still angry: "Speak Chinese!"

Wei Zhuguan had no choice but to say it all over again in full Chinese.

After Wei Zhuguan finished his report, Zhang Tieling said, "Go back and check who was responsible for delivering the materials. They can't even deliver materials properly; why keep such a person?"

The Secretary beside him heard this and paused.

However, it was impossible for her to admit her mistake while in the line of fire; she would lose face and also have to bear Manager Zhang's temper. It was better to go back and check first. If she had lost them, she would just admit the mistake; she was a veteran employee and usually worked diligently, so the manager wouldn't make things difficult for her.

……

Wei Zhuguan walked out of the conference room with a dark face, and as soon as he returned to the office, he said to He Jian, "Who did you ask to deliver the materials?"

"Bai Shuruo."

"Call her in for me!"

He Jian hurriedly shouted toward the corner: "Bai Shuruo, come in for a moment."

Because they were far away, the other colleagues also sensed He Jian's displeasure, and they guessed that Bai Shuruo must have made a mistake at work.

Bai Shuruo was also stunned, then immediately got up and followed He Jian into Wei Zhuguan's office.

Wei Zhuguan was like an angry Grand Eunuch again: "You were the one who delivered the materials to the manager's office this morning, right? Where are the materials? You can't even handle this small matter; what use are you to me here?"

Bai Shuruo immediately remembered the matter. She felt wronged, but she also immediately clarified: "I handed the materials to Manager Zhang's Secretary, and I even had the Secretary sign for them."

"Signed for them?"

"Yes, I have the other party's signature for every piece of material I've delivered and who I gave it to during this time," Bai Shuruo said.

Wei Zhuguan's anger subsided a little.

"Bring your handover notebook here for me to see."

Bai Shuruo ran back to her seat, and Xiang Feifei, who was on the side, asked nervously, "Shuruo, what's going on?"

"It's nothing," she replied, then grabbed the notebook and hurried back into Wei Zhuguan's office.

Wei Zhuguan glanced at the notebook, where it was written in neat handwriting: "October Design Department monthly report submitted," along with the Secretary's signature.

It seemed it wasn't Bai Shuruo's fault; it was either the Secretary's oversight or an oversight on Manager Zhang's side.

Wei Zhuguan took a photo and then said to Bai Shuruo, "It's none of your business now, you can go out."

Bai Shuruo knew the materials must have been lost, but she had already cleared her name, so she didn't say anything more.

After she went out, Wei Zhuguan sent the photo to Manager Zhang and tactfully said that the fault did not lie with the Design Department, as the materials had been submitted and had the Secretary's signature.

Zhang Tieling received the message and looked at the photo again; he actually hadn't expected that the intern would have kept this hand.

It seemed this employee was meticulous and a good employee.

As for the matter of firing her, he would talk about it later.

Also, he didn't intend to pursue this matter anymore; he couldn't let the Secretary take the fall, so let this matter pass.

……

By the end of November, the construction site office was already chilly, but today it welcomed two distinguished guests.

Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei had actually carried their luggage to Fengcheng to seek refuge with Han Yangting.

Han Yangting sat in his chair, looking at the two people in front of him who were covered in the dust of travel, and said nothing.

Ling Feng couldn't sit still first; he said, "I say Yangting, don't just look at the two of us. We came all this way to seek refuge with you; say something about whether it's okay or not."

Han Yangting still sat calmly, his index finger tapping on the armrest from time to time.

After a long while, he asked, "The two of you, one is the eldest grandson of the Ling Family, and the other has inheritance rights in the Ni Family, and you come to seek refuge with me?"

Ling Feng complained, "There are just too many girls in Beishi who like me; people throw themselves at me every day. If this continues, I'll be drained to death."

"It's just too many romantic debts, right," Han Yangting said.

Han Yangting looked at Ni Xianglei again: "Leizi, what's your reason for coming over?"

Ling Feng was a playboy, but Ni Xianglei studied law and was relatively steady compared to Ling Feng.

Ni Xianglei said, "Yangting, you know that the important positions in my family business have all been carved up by my older brothers and sisters-in-law. I can only do some idle work there. It just so happens that you are opening up territory in Fengcheng, so I'll just follow you. Yangting, the three of us are brothers who grew up together. You know we are both capable. Ling Feng is unserious on the surface, but he is a financial genius, and I am a doctor of law. Not to mention our talent, the most important thing is that we are of one mind with you. With us guarding for you, that branch of your second great-uncle won't be able to snatch things from you..."

"Stop!" Han Yangting didn't let Ni Xianglei continue.

He still had that faint look: "In short, you just want to come and rely on me, right?"

"It's to help you," Ni Xianglei corrected.

"But my Baiyin Group is also full of talent; it really doesn't make a difference if there are two more of you or two less. If you're talking about financial doctors, the top financial geniuses in the industry are all in my Baiyin Group. As for legal affairs, the people I hire in my group are also some of the best in the world, with experience and strength. You two are still a bit green."

Han Yangting continued: "Although Ling Feng is a financial genius, think about it: in the financial world, you have always carried the name of the fourth generation of the Ling Family Army. People in the industry fear you, which is why you've had such smooth sailing."

"Have I?" Ling Feng was puzzled; he wasn't that kind of person.

Han Yangting did not answer him, then looked at Ni Xianglei again: "Leizi is a good talent, but your Ni Group has regressed over these years; the group's operations have always been conventional, and in the years you have been at Ni Group, you have always worked according to routine, lacking some drive, and there are many areas that need tempering."

Ni Xianglei moved his mouth, wanting to retort, but upon second thought, it seemed that was indeed the case.
