Chapter 356: Truly shameless

"An artist from the company came to talk to me about official business."

Xu Tian told a harmless lie. He had no thoughts about Zhao Qianqian, and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, this matter absolutely could not let Tang Bingyan know.

"Official business? Then why was she so nervous just now?" A Wei was still full of confusion.

"Probably didn't want you to recognize her." Xu Tian spread his hands, "She had some scandals recently and came to me to think of a way."

"Oh, is that so." Although A Wei still felt something was wrong, seeing Xu Tian's open and honest look, he seemed to feel it was his own over-sensitivity.

So he continued: "The eldest young lady asked me to pick you up back to the villa. She said she would wait for you to eat together."

Xu Tian frowned with worry upon hearing this: "Didn't I tell her not to wait for me? Lend me your phone."

Just as he was about to call Tang Bingyan, A Wei continued: "It's fine, the eldest young lady went to the Hot Spring Villa this afternoon to have afternoon tea with the old patriarch before coming back, so she isn't hungry yet."

"Hmm, then let's go back quickly."

Xu Tian picked up the thick stack of documents on the coffee table and turned to walk out of the apartment with A Wei.

A Wei saw Xu Tian's documents and asked with some worry: "Mr. Xu, are you still studying those antique materials? Will this task be a bit too difficult for you?"

"It's indeed not easy, but isn't it more interesting to do tasks that are more challenging?"

"That's true, but there are risks. Actually, with your strength, Mr. Xu, you could completely accumulate your own power slowly and wait for the right time."

A Wei still felt Xu Tian's decision this time was a bit risky.

Xu Tian smiled faintly upon hearing this and continued: "Indeed, I could accumulate slowly, but the time required for that is too long. Your eldest young lady's physical condition is currently unstable, and I don't want her to be so tired in the future."

A Wei seemed not to have expected Xu Tian to say this, and then smiled with relief: "Mr. Xu, with these words from you, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Xu Tian patted A Wei's shoulder without saying anything more and turned to get into the car.

Among the people around Tang Bingyan, the only one she could trust and who could think for her wholeheartedly was A Wei. Being able to gain his support was of great significance to him.

If his trip to Lighthouse Country last time helped A Wei out of a predicament and completely changed A Wei's impression of him, then now Xu Tian could feel that A Wei had gradually begun to trust him. This was definitely a good start for him.

The next day, Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan went to the Tang Group together.

In the conference room, senior executives and key personnel were gathered. Tang Bingyan sat in the main seat in the center, Xu Tian sat in the first position on her right, and on her left sat A Wei, Gu Beicheng, and others respectively.

Nowadays, Xu Tian's status was the same as A Wei's, as Tang Bingyan's assistant. Don't look at it as just an assistant; as the assistant to the head of the Tang Group, one must take on the responsibility of coordinating various departments.

Therefore, as long as it was a project under the Tang Group's various companies, Xu Tian had the opportunity to come into contact with it as long as he wanted, which was convenient for him to understand the operation of the entire group as quickly as possible and develop his own connections and power.

Before the meeting started, Tang Bingyan personally introduced Xu Tian to the company's senior management and shareholders.

"Hello everyone, from today on, I will take the position of Tang Zong's assistant. I will need to cooperate with everyone in the future, so please take care of each other."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he sat back in his seat calmly.

The senior executives below looked at him calmly. Regardless of how they questioned Xu Tian in their hearts, on the surface, they all put on a look of warm welcome, especially Gu Beicheng, who enthusiastically took the lead in applauding.

"Welcome Assistant Xu to work at the company. If you have anything you don't understand in the company in the future, feel free to come to me. I'm very happy to help."

"Thank you, President Gu."

Xu Tian's gaze swept across Gu Beicheng's face for a moment, he nodded slightly to him calmly, and then continued to look at the others present.

"For this business trip to Y Country, because Tang Zong's health is not suitable for the fatigue of the journey, I will lead the group's internal expert team to attend the private auction in Y Country on her behalf."

Actually, before this, the task of going to Y Country to attend the auction was originally supposed to be handled by Gu Beicheng, but it was snatched away by Xu Tian, who was parachuted into the group two weeks ago.

Normally, Gu Beicheng would definitely be unhappy, but at this moment he showed a gentle smile, without any sign of minding, and instead said to him very diligently: "Assistant Xu, I did a lot of investigation and homework for this trip to attend the private auction in Y Country. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me for information at any time."

Although he showed a magnanimous look, Xu Tian knew very well that he was doing this to advance by retreating, with the purpose of letting the senior executives and shareholders present know that this important task was snatched from his hands by Xu Tian relying on his own status.

However, in front of the group's senior executives and shareholders, Xu Tian wouldn't be stupid enough to expose him and confront him, so he pretended to be humble and said to Gu Beicheng: "Then I will thank President Gu for your support in advance. If there is anything I don't understand later, I will definitely ask you for advice."

Those senior executives of Gu Beicheng's faction saw Xu Tian being so impolite without the slightest sense of guilt and were already somewhat wanting to get angry. However, since Tang Bingyan was present, no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to act rashly and could only say a few insincere congratulations to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian ignored these people's hypocrisy. These people supported Gu Beicheng; no matter how outstanding he performed, they wouldn't change their views on him, so why should he care about their thoughts?

Tang Bingyan scanned the senior executives present with a cold face and said in a low voice: "Is there anything else to report?"

"No."

The senior and middle management shook their heads one after another.

"Then the meeting ends here today." A Wei took over and said, "Everyone, go get busy."

A Wei's words made the senior executives present feel as if they had been granted amnesty, and they filed out one after another, but Tang Bingyan called out to Xu Tian, who also wanted to go out.

"Assistant Xu, go directly to my office and wait for me."

Xu Tian nodded to Tang Bingyan and the others, and after leaving the conference room, he took a stack of documents to Tang Bingyan's office.

And those senior executives gathered together in twos and threes to whisper after the meeting.

Previously in the conference room, they feared Tang Bingyan's aura and no one dared to have any opinions, but now that no one was controlling or suppressing them, they could naturally vent their dissatisfaction to their heart's content.

"So this is the pretty boy who has been pestering Tang Zong."

"Yes, that's him. I originally thought he was how capable; it looks like he's just a piece of trash who relies on his looks to freeload."

"Just by him, he has the nerve to snatch President Gu's credit. Truly shameless." ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
