Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"well played!"

"Haruko, Bella, you two come here."

Before the game could be decided, Lin Baicheng clapped his hands and called them over.

"Mr. Cheng?" "Chairman?"

Maori Haruko and Isabella walked over with some confusion. Their game was reaching a critical moment and the winner had not yet been decided. They didn't know what Lin Baicheng suddenly asked them to do.

Lin Baicheng looked at the two of them and said, "I see that you two are also tired. Let's go get a beauty massage and rest."

When Bill Harveys introduced it before, he said that there was a place for beauty and massage in the villa. Although he didn't mention it, Lin Baicheng knew that the relevant personnel should have been temporarily transferred here in the past few days. Normally there should be no relevant personnel here.

Lin Baicheng only comes here a few times a year. It is impossible to recruit people for these positions to stay here and get the full salary in a year without working a few days.

That was a complete waste. No matter how rich Lin Baicheng was, he would never do it, and it was impossible for the Secretariat to arrange it like this.

"Makoto-kun, I'm not tired."

Maori Haruko said and looked at Isabella: "I am just a little behind, I will definitely win."

"Chairman, I'm not tired either."

Isabella also glanced at Haruko Maori. Although the score was caught up, she now had the advantage. She didn't believe she couldn't beat Haruko Maori. No matter what, you must not lose to this woman.

"I've been playing for so long, how can I not be tired? Listen to me, let's go relax together."

Lin Baicheng didn't know who could win between the two, but he wasn't going to let them decide the winner. No matter who won or lost, it would not be a good thing for the other person. The current situation was just right.

"Let's go!"

After Lin Baicheng finished speaking, he put his arm around Maori Haruko's shoulders and turned to leave.

"Cheng-kun, I just listen to you."

As Maori Haruko spoke, she turned her head and smiled provocatively at Isabella.

"Bitch!"

Isabella couldn't help being very angry when she saw this, and what Mouri Haruko did made her even more angry.

"You keep your voice down."

Vivien Kelly next to her reminded: "Forget it if the woman hears it. If the chairman hears it, he will definitely be unhappy."

"I know, I'll be careful."

Isabella nodded, looked at the two people leaving in front of her, and said, "Vivien, do you think if this continues, will there be a place for us in the chairman's consortium in the future?"

Although Lin Baicheng has not established a consortium yet, Lin Baicheng has many companies and abundant funds. In the eyes of Isabella and others, he will establish a consortium sooner or later.

"Moori Haruko is obviously hostile to us. Although she doesn't want to admit it, her skills are not bad. Coupled with her relationship with the chairman, she is very likely to occupy a high position in the chairman's consortium in the future. At that time, she continued to Under pressure, unless we keep making no mistakes and make enough contributions, even if we have a position in the consortium, it will be difficult for us to occupy a high position."

Vivien Kelly thought for a while and said that she felt that if there were no changes, it would be entirely possible for this to happen. If the situation is worse, they may be kicked out of the core by Mouri Haruko because of their mistakes and become dispensable in the middle and lower classes.

"Vivien, do you think this is very likely?"

Isabella asked again. In fact, she gradually had this bad feeling.

"Well, if our relationship with her doesn't change and our importance in the chairman's heart doesn't increase, I think it's very likely."

Vivien Kelly nodded heavily and continued: "Bella, you should know very well that although we have not made mistakes now, it does not mean that we will not make mistakes in the future. Extending the time scale, it is almost certain that we will make mistakes at work. Making mistakes is inevitable."

"you're right."

Isabella still agrees with this. Although they are elites, they are also human beings, and everyone makes mistakes. It's just sooner or later and the severity of their mistakes is different.

"Vivien, what do you think we should do?"

"this"

Vivien Kelly opened her mouth, but finally fell silent.

Isabella saw this and said: "Vivien, just say what you want to say."

Vivien Kelly thought for a moment and said, "Bella, you are now the president of New Century Software Company. Before you step down, you probably don't plan to find a boyfriend or get married, right?"

"Not for at least five years!"

Isabella solemnly said that they all knew that the workplace was unfriendly to women, not to mention that New Century Software Company was preparing to go public, and the situation in the next few years would be unfavorable to her as president.

If under such circumstances, Isabella still finds a boyfriend or gets married, it will definitely become an attack point against her, but she cannot do this if she wants to keep her position as president.

And this is the position of president of a listed company. Isabella will never give up easily no matter what. She must definitely rely on the big things in life.

"Five years is still the minimum. You will be over thirty years old by then."

After hearing this, Vivien Kelly said: "But even at that time, once you are ready to consider major events in life, you will definitely not be able to keep your position as president, and you will not have to think about promotion. I know you are a career-oriented person. A strong woman of the Lord, am I right?”

"Aren't you the same?"

Isabella looked at her and smiled and said that one of the reasons why the two of them can become good sisters is that they have a common goal.

"Yes, we are all the same."

Vivien Kelly nodded, paused, and then said: "So, there are some things that you don't have to stick to all the time, even though they are your beliefs. I know that I shouldn't talk about your beliefs, that is your freedom, But you have to make a choice, whether you want to choose faith or career, which one is more important to you."

"Vivien, actually I know what you are going to say."

Isabella said suddenly, she was not stupid, she didn't know what Vivien Kelly really wanted to say to her.

"Then what do you think?"

Now that the conversation has come to this, Vivien Kelly no longer avoids this topic.

Isabella did not answer, but said: "Vivien, do you know? In fact, when I knew that Maori Haruko did that, I looked down on her. I felt that even if I didn't do that, I could be reused by the chairman. Later, I really succeeded."

After a pause, Isabella couldn't help but shake her head: "Actually, it's not so much that I succeeded, but that the chairman is nostalgic and doesn't discriminate against us women, so I was arranged by the chairman to work for the new century software company he was optimistic about. manager, and now he is the president of the company.”

Vivien Kelly agreed very much with this. It was precisely because Lin Baicheng did not discriminate against women that she was willing to switch to Golden Fleece Company and manage so much money.

Isabella continued: "So, I feel that my choice is not wrong. I don't have to be like Maori Haruko to get what I want. I look down on that woman. But who would have thought that after becoming the president, the pressure will increase. When I get older, I am afraid that one day I will be ousted by the board of directors and become a laughing stock.”

"Not only are you under pressure, Bella, but I am also under pressure, and so is Shirley from Morningstar Pictures."

Vivien Kelly expressed relief. They were all under the same pressure. Shirley Lansing was at least better than them because she had more work experience.

Both Isabella and Vivien Kelly have just graduated a few years ago. Now they are either presidents or managers. Their lack of work experience will become a weakness for them to be attacked.

"I know we can't avoid this."

Isabella nodded and said no more about this, but said: "Unlike us, Maori Haruko has the chairman as her backer. No one dares not to give her face, and no one dares to target her. She He has continued to make good friends with the senior management of various companies, and his influence has become stronger and stronger, and his life is much better than ours."

"I looked down on her before, and I still look down on her now, but the growing gap between her and me is a fact, even if I don't want to admit it, it's useless."

"So, Vivian, tell me, was my persistence wrong?"

Isabella looked at her good sister Vivien Kelly.

"Your original choice was not wrong."

Vivien Kelly did not hesitate at all, and said solemnly: "Everyone has his own way of living. Take the two of us as an example. You are a religious person, so you are more cautious about making boyfriends, let alone premarital sex. . But I am different. I think as long as I live a happy life, if I have a boyfriend that makes me unhappy, then I can just break up with him and find another one."

"We just have different lifestyles. No one is right or wrong."

"Take Mouri Haruko and your choice as an example. It's the same. There's no need to tell right from wrong so clearly."

"Your choice is not wrong, but I didn't expect that the chairman's career will develop so fast. It will become bigger and bigger, there will be more and more talents under his staff, and the competition will become more and more fierce. This is why the woman Maori Haruko seems to have It was the right decision to make.”

Vivien Kelly's words were mostly comforting. After all, the winner takes all, and she had no need to criticize and scold Isabella now.

Isabella also knew that her friend was comforting her, but she did not say anything, but said: "Actually, I am also very worried now, whether I should take that step or not." Facing Vivien Kelly, now, she Don't hide your true thoughts either.

Vivien Kelly asked: "So you haven't made a decision yet?"

Isabella nodded.

Vivien Kelly saw this and said: "Are you losing face or something?"

"A little bit, but that's not the main reason."

Isabella shook her head: "The chairman didn't hint anything to me. I'm not sure if the chairman has that kind of thought for me. If it was before, I would still be a little confident, but it's different now. We all know that, There are many women around the chairman, and they are all beautiful women."

"If I take the initiative, but the chairman doesn't have that kind of intention, what if the chairman has opinions about me? I'm worried that the chairman will adjust my position because of this, or even not want to see me again in the future, etc."

Isabella expressed her biggest concern. She was worried that it would affect her current position and future prospects.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable."

After hearing this, Vivien Kelly couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said: "There used to be no other women around the chairman, so Haruko Maori succeeded easily. It's different now. The chairman is in China, and there are women in Japan and Hong Kong." There are women, and they are all beautiful, and it is indeed not as easy as it used to be to succeed.”

"Nothing"

Vivien Kelly changed the subject: "Since Bella has such thoughts, as long as you take the initiative and find a suitable opportunity, it shouldn't be difficult to succeed. It is true that the chairman has many women, but Isabella You are different, you are so beautiful, and this is the first time you have come to my door. I don’t believe that the chairman will be indifferent."

Isabella nodded slightly and said: "Actually, it was Maori Haruko who really made me make up my mind. I knew that she was jealous of me and dissatisfied with me. It was her targeting that made me controlled in every way, so I made up my mind to be like her. , a woman who becomes the chairman of the board, so that she can no longer be superior to me."

"Bella."

After hearing this, Vivien Kelly reminded: "No matter what you think in your heart, when you face the chairman, you must like him. You take the initiative because you like him, not for your career." , not to mention fighting with Mouri Haruko."

"Vivien, I always like the chairman."

Isabella smiled at Vivien Kelly, full of sincerity.

"That's right."

Vivien Kelly smiled and nodded. She couldn't tell whether Isabella's words were true or not, but she knew very well that it was impossible for Isabella to 'fall in love' with the chairman now. Not bad.

"Let's go Vivien, let's go for a massage and beauty treatment. We can't let that woman be complacent."

Isabella said as she left the court. After talking so much to Vivien Kelly just now, she was not so upset anymore.

In any case, for Isabella, making such a decision did not come from the heart. She felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, and she needed the help of her friends whether she could succeed or not, so she told Vivien Kelly What’s in my heart.

Isabella is not stupid. She will never say these words to anyone except her good friend Vivien Kelly.

"Bella, I hope you can succeed."

Vivien Kelly, who was looking at Isabella's back, thought to herself that she was also a very enterprising woman. Now that she was the manager of the Golden Fleece Company, she also wanted to take a further step, but this step was not so easy to take.

Vivien Kelly knew that in addition to outstanding performance, she also needed someone to help her speak to the chairman of the board, and her friend Isabella could help her do that if she could become the woman of the chairman.

When Isabella and Vivien Kelly met Chairman Lin Baicheng again, Lin Baicheng was already receiving the service of the masseur. He was lying on his stomach enjoying the masseur's massage. He didn't even have time to say hello to their arrival.

"Chairman, let's go for a beauty treatment."

Isabella said, and then left with Vivien Kelly.

The places for men and women to get beauty massages are different. They are divided into two rooms. The two women went to the room with the woman next to them and saw Haruko Mouri doing a facial mask.

Isabella and Vivien Kelly said hello to the beautician, and also made facial masks first, then lay down next to Haruko Maori.

Maybe it was because the beautician was there. The three of them just greeted each other verbally. There was no quarrel or infighting.
