Le Tong was berated by him so harshly that she had no temper left. Calmly closing the file he had thrown over, she lifted her gaze to et his eyes, filled with disdain and various complex and unclear emotions, and asked blandly.
"President, did you read the proposal I sent to your email?"
Ji Rui couldn’t understand, since Le Tong had long committed to Luo Yifan, why did she still co to provoke him?
Ji Rui, of course, knew that whatever matter concerning Le Tong and Luo Yifan, whether emotional or matrimonial, was her personal affair, but he did not think it unrelated to him.
Normally, he didn’t touch reports on gossip and family anecdotes.
Only then did Le Tong reopen the proposal, patiently explaining.
Ji Rui opened the email, clearly it was work ti, yet his mind was a ss full of matters regarding Le Tong.
Is this why she spent so much ti and effort lately to catch his attention?
This newspaper has an incredible ability to spout nonsense, clearly baseless speculations yet stated in such a definitive tone, even fabricating things out of thin air, exaggerating many facts, to the extent that even Le Tong, upon reading this induced report, only felt like she was reading a beautiful fairy tale.
Le Tong vaguely understood sothing, yet remained unsure, "What headline? Aunt Huang, explain clearly."
On her face, however, she displayed a suitable smile and asked Ji Rui for his opinion. "Do you prefer paper copies, President? Should I print it out for you?"
Of course, such thoughts that her personal affairs have nothing to do with Ji Rui did not go smoothly for Ji Rui.
But today, he patiently read through the illustrated article word by word.
However, aside from the truth of this report, Le Tong couldn’t understand one thing — even if she were really going to marry Luo Yifan, it was her personal matter, what did it have to do with Ji Rui? How could he attack her with those words?
The report ntioned that Luo Yifan and Le Tong had known each other six years ago and had secretly pledged their future back then, now preparing to marry after the New Year, hence taking the opportunity at a birthday party to introduce Le Tong.
Le Tong had just sat down at her desk when Aunt Huang from the finance departnt ca over with a stack of reports, placing them on Le Tong’s desk and then leaned in smilingly at her. "Tongtong, congratulations! When are you giving Aunt Huang so wedding candy?"
No wonder, Ji Rui before had said such things and Aunt Huang and probably everyone who knew her, upon reading this report, would assu she was indeed set to marry Luo Yifan after the New Year.
Ji Rui glanced at her, "No need!"
Although Le Tong tried hard to argue, she could not convince Aunt Huang that she and the young master were just ordinary friends. Finally, after Aunt Huang left, Le Tong opened the electronic newspaper, just as Aunt Huang said, the front-page headline of R City’s newspaper did feature a full-page spread with a photo and report of herself in an elegant dress holding Luo Yifan’s hand on the podium.
As she read, Le Tong’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
Ji Rui turned to face the computer, waved her off, indicating for her to leave.
He couldn’t articulate his feelings when he saw that newspaper report, only knowing he wished he could pull Le Tong and Luo Yifan out of the article and give them a good beating.
Ji Rui took twice the usual ti to read through Le Tong’s proposal due to his vexed mood. Even though his displeasure and disdain for Le Tong still lingered, from a work perspective, the proposal was indeed well done.
Ji Rui stared at her for a while, then said, "No!"
"Why pretend with Aunt Huang?" Aunt Huang patted her shoulder, "Today’s newspaper, front-page headline, there you are!"
Ji Rui thought he must be crazy, from the day he saw Le Tong appearing at Luo Yifan’s birthday party as the female protagonist, her face kept popping into his mind.
Le Tong quickly skimd the article titled "A Modern Cinderella and Prince Story," on which it was confidently written that the Luo Family was already prepared to marry Le Tong at any ti.
Le Tong was bewildered by the question, dumbfoundedly looking at Aunt Huang, "Aunt Huang, what congratulations? What wedding candy?"
Could it be that the title of Luo Family’s young mada was not attractive enough for her, what she really wanted was to be the mistress of the Ji Family?
"This proposal is actually quite good, so I modified it according to my own ideas, but the overall concept is still based on the original proposal, without any major changes. As for the proposal I drafted myself, it is in a completely different direction and might not be very good, but it was definitely created with care!"
Aunt Huang pressed Le Tong’s shoulder, teasing her with a smile.
A person like this, with a bit of guidance and honing, will surely beco soone noteworthy over ti. Such talent, as his secretary, would indeed be a waste, as Yang Sheng stated.
Was her recent impressive work performance actually just to catch his eye?
Le Tong internally cursed, damn it, if you haven’t read it, then why are you berating ?
There were still considerable gaps, but for a first-ti proposal writer, the plan was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
Ji Rui forwarded Le Tong’s proposal unchanged to the planning departnt manager’s inbox, and the recipient was quite surprised after reading it.
Ji Rui reviewed Le Tong’s proposal twice, as she claid, her concept direction was precisely the opposite of the proposal submitted by the planning departnt. Yet it was these entirely different tactics that allowed Ji Rui to see her true capabilities.
Over the years, Le Tong was absolutely the first to affect his work because of an outsider.
Originally, he thought he could have so peace at Ji Family after being annoyed by Baobao and the cats these past two days at ho, unexpectedly, he felt even more awful now than he did those two days at ho.
"Your matter with the second young master of Luo Family hit the headlines today. Look at you, involved with the second young master for years and kept it so well hidden!"
The accurate data and detailed evidence cited further reflected the significant effort and energy spent by the planner.
Le Tong felt aggrieved but had no intention of arguing with Ji Rui, because she was already too tired to explain anything to him. Moreover, he was just her superior, as long as her personal affairs didn’t affect her work, there was no need to explain anything to him, nor did she need to justify anything to him. Whatever he misunderstands has nothing to do with her.
"President, is the one who drafted this proposal the expert you recruited from a headhunter company?"
