"Very good. From now on, you have to tell me everything about Jiuchen. Also, keep an eye on this woman Tang Zhixia. If she has any close relationship with Jiuchen, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Lin Zhi also holds a very important position next to Xi Jiuchen. Although he cannot be compared with the first assistant Chu Hao, he can be exposed to some of Xi Jiuchen's daily routine.
After Lin Zhi left, Song Shan was so angry that she couldn't sleep. What did Old Lady Xi mean? Did she look down on her? Or did she not want her to get close to Xi Jiuchen?
This kind of differential treatment made Song Shan feel full of resentment.
early morning.
Tang Zhixia rushed to the company after seeing her son off. Today was also a day she was looking forward to very much.
When she came to the office, assistant Li Xiaoxin pushed the door in and comforted Tang Zhixia who was at the desk, "Sister Zhixia, don't listen to their nonsense. I believe you and Xi are always innocent."
Tang Zhixia was too lazy to pay attention to it. The more she explained this kind of thing, the more unclear it became. Besides, she didn't need to listen to other people's evaluations in her life.
Around ten o'clock, Tang Zhixia's landline phone rang. She reached out and picked it up, "Hello."
"Zhixia, it's a meeting, I have the list of winners in my hand." Li Mei's voice came from the other end.
Tang Zhixia's heartstrings tightened, could she come out so soon? She thought she would not be able to come out until at least the afternoon, so she got up and went to the conference room with excitement and expectation.
All the employees from the design department had arrived, but Li Mei hadn't arrived yet. Aiya stared coldly at Tang Zhixia, who sat down opposite her and glanced at her unceremoniously.
"I don't know who won the prize, Sister Aiya or Sister Zhixia! I'm so looking forward to it! That's a one million prize." A young designer said in a deliberately nervous tone.
"We'll know the answer when the director comes."
Just as she was talking, Li Mei pushed the door open and came in. She glanced at the two contestants and sat at the front of the table. "Your long-awaited application for meal expenses has been received. Do you want to have a dinner tonight?"
"Think so! Director, we want to have a big dinner."
Aiya and Tang Zhixia looked at each other. Judging from Li Mei's expression, it was obvious that someone in their company had won an award, and the award-winning person was among them.
There was a strong look of jealousy in Aiya's eyes. No need to guess, it must be Tang Zhixia.
"Okay, let's arrange a dinner party tonight! Okay, I will announce the list of winners this time and the distribution of bonuses. First of all, congratulations to our two shortlisted contestants, and then, we would like to congratulate Zhixia for winning this award.
First prize in the jewelry competition and a bonus of one million."
Before Li Mei finished speaking, Tang Zhixia's head buzzed. Is it her? Is she the winner? Is the one million hers?
Her heart was instantly filled with surprise, as she got the money for her son's gift.
Li Mei then looked at Aiya and said, "The company also gave a certain bonus to the finalists. Aiya received a participation award of 20,000 yuan."
The corner of Aya's mouth curled up mockingly, "Participation Award, it's really ironic."
Instantly, applause rang out, and Tang Zhixia was drowned out by a bunch of congratulations. Tang Zhixia said thank you several times to them. At the same time, he also gratefully said to Li Mei, "Thank you, director, for your encouragement and support."
"This is all your own strength, Zhixia, work hard! In the next time, let's discuss where to eat and drink in the evening! The meeting is over."
Li Mei left, and Tang Zhixia was about to leave. Aiya crossed her arms and sneered, "Tang Zhixia, don't you feel your face getting hot with this million?"
"Why do I feel so hot?" Tang Zhixia asked back. She was already confident in her work.
"I don't think you should thank the director. You should thank Mr. Xi. He helped you get this award with just one sentence. He also gave you one million. If I were you, I would be too shameless to take it!"
After saying that, Aya hummed and left. Tang Zhixia was the only one left in the conference room. Tang Zhixia's mind went blank for a few seconds.
Does she really deserve this award? Did Xi Jiuchen win it for her? Didn’t she get it through her own strength?
This time the bonus has been changed from the original 100,000 to 1 million. In the eyes of outsiders, this may be a sign of the company's wealth.
But Tang Zhixia felt more and more that this was Xi Jiuchen's trick. He deliberately increased the bonus and gave her a chance to win. He was repaying her kindness in disguise.
Tang Zhixia's face grew hot unconsciously, and she felt a sense of shame and anger. She picked up the mobile phone on the table and came out of the conference room.
A group of people congratulated her on the road. No matter what, Tang Zhixia was doing well in the company and had a close relationship with her boss. No one dared to provoke her, but instead wanted to please her in front of her.
Tang Zhixia walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the eighth floor without hesitation, which was the floor of Xi Jiuchen's office.
Tang Zhixia arrived at the main office and saw Chu Hao who had just come out. She asked directly, "Is Xi Jiuchen in there?"
"Mr. Xi is here..." Chu Hao was just about to ask what happened when he saw Tang Zhixia push open the door.
The handsome man on the sofa raised his sharp eyes and looked at the girl who walked in angrily. He looked at her leisurely.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Tell me, did you interfere in the jewelry competition?" Tang Zhixia raised his eyebrows and asked.
Chu Hao behind him looked at the man on the sofa nervously, Xi Jiuchen glanced at him, and Chu Hao closed the door and left.
"I heard from Li Mei that you won first place, congratulations." Xi Jiuchen narrowed his eyes and said.
Tang Zhixia just wants to know one thing at this moment, whether her first place is based on her strength. If this man gave it to her on purpose, it makes her feel very unfulfilled. She feels that any award is meaningless.
"Are you so unsure of yourself?" Xi Jiuchen curled his lips and sneered.
"Of course I have confidence in myself...but..." Tang Zhixia stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Before she could finish her sentence, she was coldly interrupted by the man.
"Tang Zhixia, do you think I am too idle to get involved in such a small award? If you don't want this million, then the company can save the bonus and not give it to you." Xi Jiuchen
Ling Ran's domineering voice was cold and arrogant.
He exuded an aura of control over everything.
When Tang Zhixia heard that the money would not be paid, she immediately felt a little spineless. She really needed money. She couldn't always let her father worry about it. Moreover, she wanted to change her son's school to a better one next year.
"Xi Jiuchen, if you didn't interfere, you'd better give me the bonus." After saying that, Tang Zhixia turned around and left.
The man behind him raised his lips and smiled inexplicably.
When Tang Zhixia returned to the office, Li Mei came over to congratulate her personally and asked her to go to the award ceremony in the afternoon, receive the trophy and display it in the company showcase.
Tang Zhixia nodded in agreement. At three o'clock in the afternoon, she took her assistant Li Xiaoxin to collect the trophy and displayed it on the most conspicuous counter in the company. There was a photo of her on it, which was particularly eye-catching.
