she's not at ease

Four years ago, Lu Yi and Luo Xin met by chance at a wine party.

The relationship between adults is not as subtle and euphemistic as it was in the youthful period. After expressing their hearts to each other, the two soon confirmed their relationship.

Like most intra-city romances, they are not busy at work, and they will go out on dates in their free time.

However, this relationship only lasted for three months, almost before the passionate love period passed, and Luo Xin left the words "Let's break up" and evaporated in the world.

I can't get through the phone, and I don't reply to the messages I sent.

Lu Yi was very anxious at first, thinking that the other party had encountered some unsolvable difficulty.

But after a long time, she figured it out, this is actually a simple emotional game, and the other party is tired of playing it and it's over.

Originally, this matter would fade away after a long time, but among the girlfriends Lu Yi talked about, Luo Xin was the only one who was so clearly scumbag, it was hard for people to forget.

In addition, not long after the breakup, Lu Yi was told by a friend that she saw Luo Xin holding a man's hand shopping intimately on the street.

So far, the other party's title of "scum girl" has been fully implemented in her heart.

But he never thought that today, four years later, he would see the face of "Luo Xin" again on the hotel's surveillance in this way.

The night Lu Yi went back, she had a nightmare, dreaming that she was entangled by this unlucky ex again.

Luo Xin's reappearance in her circle of life and her intentional approach to this incident had a great impact on Lu Yi. She wanted to break her head, but she didn't understand why the other party deliberately bumped into her at the dance that night.

She thought that this person would take the initiative to contact her in the future, but her life was still calm in the next few days.

until……

"Director, how long will you be in the company?"

"Secretary Liu has come here just now, and all the middle and high-level leaders of the company will go to the conference room for a meeting in 10 minutes."

In the headset, assistant Zhou Jia's voice was deliberately lowered, and it was not difficult to hear that the other party was very anxious at this time.

Lu Yi supported the steering wheel, glanced at the endless car queue in front of him, and frowned: "It will take half an hour at the earliest, and there was a car accident just now on this road."

"Half an hour?!"

"But everyone will have a meeting in 10 minutes!"

Zhou Jia screamed, and began to worry about her boss: "What should I do, you will be late on the first day of taking office as the new president, and the director will be put on shoes if you don't arrive alone..."

The rambling words kept coming from the other end of the phone, which made Lu Yi feel impatient, and cut off the phone directly.

Within 2 minutes after the call was cut off, Zhou Jia received a text message on his cell phone instructing him to prepare the sales data sheets for the last quarter and the whole year of last year.

Concise and concise, without any redundant words.

Already accustomed to Lu Yi's way of working, Zhou Jia hurriedly followed the instructions.

Two 10 minutes later, the weekly meeting was held on time.

But this time it's a little different.

As early as such a short period of time, various photos about the debut of the "new president" have been circulated in the company's private gossip group. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good thing.

The conference hall on the 24th floor was filled with people one after another.

In this way, the empty seat belonging to Lu Yi is quite eye-catching.

"Is anyone not here?" Luo Yao was the last one to come in.

Her beautiful eyes swept across the empty seat lightly, without any extra emotion on her face.

The people below all looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not very clear about the situation.

"Mr. Luo, Sales Director Lu is stuck in traffic on the road, so he will be late." A colleague who knew the inside story helped to explain, but he was not very optimistic in his heart.

However, Luo Yao didn't want to ask further: "Don't wait, let's start directly."

…………

It wasn't until the meeting lasted for half an hour that Lu Yi arrived late.

She didn't go directly to the conference room on the 24th floor, but went back to her department first.

"Director, you're here!" Seeing his boss finally appear, Zhou Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The meeting upstairs has been going on for half an hour, you should go quickly."

"Don't worry." Lu Yi ignored her, but continued to walk in, "Where is the thing I want, are you ready?"

After walking two steps, the expected word "Of course" did not come.

Lu Yi turned around and saw Zhou Jia's embarrassed expression.

At this time, in the conference room on the 24th floor.

A man in a suit and leather shoes was reporting to the enlarged PPT on the curtain. He was Director Zhang of the Marketing Department.

If you look closely, you can see that his hand holding the mouse is trembling slightly.

Too nervous.

So far, Luo Yao has asked several questions that he can't answer one after another. Zhang Liang doesn't know whether his report can go on smoothly, or whether he will call the new president like the colleagues who reported before. Call back directly, reorganize and report again.

He was not alone in his heavy heart.

The atmosphere on the entire conference table is different from the relaxed and comfortable one at the beginning, and everyone's mentality has changed from the initial "handle with it casually" to "exhausted". Bright will know.

Originally thought that the chairman's daughter, who was airborne this time, was an empty air that didn't understand anything. Many people didn't even understand why the chairman made such a joking decision.

Now they understand.

Also understand very thoroughly.

"If Director Zhang really can't answer why the company has invested so much unnecessary money in marketing in the past six months and still hasn't seen any results..." Luo Yao suppressed his voice, "Then you might as well sit down and think about it first, and tell me later I."

She didn't blame her, she just leaned on the main seat of the conference table and stretched out two fingers and tapped lightly in the direction where Zhang Liang was.

A "I'm easy to talk" look, but it doesn't feel like that.

Zhang Liang sat down with an uneasy face.

In the quiet conference room at this time, even a thin needle can be heard clearly. Many people are feeling fearful. They tense every nerve, thinking about what to do when it is their turn. How to deal with it.

However, in such a tense atmosphere, Luo Yao was not affected at all: "Then the next one is..."

At this moment, the door of the meeting room was gently pushed open, and Luo Yao's unfinished words were suddenly interrupted.

Everyone followed the source of the movement and looked in the direction of the door, and she was no exception.

I saw a bright white color appearing behind the small crack of the door.

"I'm sorry everyone, there was a car accident on the road and I'm late." Lu Yi's appearance was as eye-catching as she herself.

A white suit appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the hair that was just over the shoulders fell casually behind the shoulders. It was very different from the outfit Luo Yao saw at the ball that day.

For some reason, seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help looking at Luo Yao who was sitting on the main seat.

Coincidentally.

One of these two people is bright white, and the other is dignified black, which happens to be the representatives of two extreme colors.

Naturally, Lu Yi also knew who was in charge of today's meeting. She skillfully showed a commercial smile and followed the eyes of everyone to look at the person in the main seat: "Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry, I..."

Her voice stopped abruptly when her eyes touched the other's face.

It was like a tape whose sound suddenly jammed without warning.

The delicate face in front of her eyes is exactly the same as the one in her dream, even after so long, Lu Yi still remembers it clearly, after all, she was fascinated by Luo Xin's face back then.

"Force majeure, I know."

"Take a seat first, let's continue the meeting."

Luo Yao's voice was not mixed with too many emotional fluctuations, and it was not like everyone expected to deliberately give a little insult to those who were late.

Lu Yi followed her instructions and walked towards her vacant seat in a daze. After sitting down and putting down all the notebooks and folders in her arms, she slowly raised her head and continued to look at the main seat. It was different when I came in.

She was puzzled and felt outrageous.

Lu Yi never dreamed that the rumors in the company during this period of time came back from abroad to accept the daughter of the chairman of the subsidiary company, it turned out to be——

The inexplicable look in Luo Yao's eyes made Luo Yao quite uncomfortable.

Not long after this, she finally couldn't help but look back at Lu Yi: "Director Lu, do you have any opinions on the company's personnel report?"

Otherwise, what are you doing watching me?

Luo Yao was a little puzzled.

She almost wondered if Lu Yi recognized her as the person at the ball that night, but there was no reason to be recognized.

"I have no objection, Mr. Luo." Hearing this, Lu Yi immediately averted her gaze.

Luo Yao gave a "hmm" and pondered solemnly: "If you don't have any special opinions, then I suggest you read more of your report materials."

These words brought Lu Yi back to his senses that this was at the company's conference table, not any other casual occasion, and even if there were any personal emotions, it shouldn't be put in the working hours at this time.

She forced her attention to the computer screen in front of her, and the meeting continued as normal.

Each department took turns to report to the new president, and soon it was the turn of Lu Yi's sales department.

Quarterly reports have to be done every once in a while, and Lu Yi is no stranger to it, so it is easy to do it... Of course, if there is no deliberate difficulty from Luo Yao, the leaders of other departments should feel the same way.

"So what about the comparison with the data in the same period last year?"

Luo Yao turned her head away, averted her gaze from the big screen, and turned to land on Lu Yi.

She deliberately raised a difficult problem, which was almost a blind spot for everyone present.

Before Lu Yi, several of them couldn't answer such a question.

Everyone took it for granted that this was just a quarterly report, but they didn't think that Luo Yao had the right to know the company's performance in the past three years, nor did they think that she was interested in knowing it.

After this question was thrown, Lu Yi did not answer immediately.

Some people have already begun to shake their heads and sigh for her.

At this moment, the calm female voice sounded again in the meeting room: "It has increased by [-] percentage points."

Lu Yi's finger clicked the mouse, and the PPT quickly jumped to the next page.

She reached out and patted the stack of documents on the table that she had specially prepared by Zhou Jia before, and said to herself: "In addition to the data for the same quarter last year, here are the sales data for the four quarters of last year, and the PPT that I sorted out. Summary of last quarter's report."

"Compared with the first, second, third and fourth quarters of last year, the signing rate of the company's property insurance increased by 4%, 0.25%, 1.5%, and 2% respectively."

"We're only in the second quarter of the year, but it's probably not as rosy as last year," he said.

As for the reason, everyone knows it well.

Frequent changes in the company's top management have too much impact.

Lu Yi didn't continue talking about this point.

"This is the end of our sales department's report, the next one can continue."

"If Mr. Luo is interested, you can take a look at my report materials after the meeting." Lu Yi hooked the corner of her lips, and then exited the PPT screen under the gaze of the other party.

She didn't let her eyes wander out of control any more.

In the following time, Lu Yi ensured that she was concentrating... her mind was distracted, she knew that there was a vague look in her eyes that was constantly observing her.

Needless to say, the owner of this look.

The meeting is still going on.

Fortunately, Luo Yao didn't really want to see the specific data in that pile of files, which made Lu Yi quietly relieved.

No one knows that in her stack of documents, there is actually no complete data for the four quarters of last year, and some are only the two quarters of the second half of the year. As for the data for the remaining two quarters of the first half of the year, they are actually her temporary The drawn A4 paper was put in and pretended to be "yes".

The bet is that Luo Yao won't read every page carefully.

Of course, the data she reported were all correct.

It was just that Zhou Jia had an accident while preparing the materials, and that was the only way to go.

Lu Yi's mind began to slowly shift to other places. The picture on the computer screen in front of her was no longer a PPT, but a group email about the appointment of the new CEO sent from the company's dedicated mailbox.

Staring at the lines in the email, her eyes fell on the word "Luo Yao".

Lu Yi has now confirmed one thing. When she met her ex-girlfriend "Luo Xin" four years ago, the other party gave her... probably a fake name.

She closed her eyes, feeling inexplicably complicated.

The regular meeting, which usually only lasts about an hour, lasted for a full three hours this time.

"If everyone is as fully prepared as Director Lu, then I won't feel anything wrong even if everyone is late, but unfortunately you are not."

At the end of the meeting, Luo Yao sent out such a sigh.

This sentence, which sounded like a compliment, fell into Lu Yi's ears and became a discord.

Lu Yi raised her eyebrows indiscriminately, which is not a compliment to her.

This is "boosting"!

Lu Yi felt that she was being targeted.

Her intuition told her that since the other party became her boss, she would definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

——At least judging from the behavior at the previous dance, this person is "planned for a long time".

Sure enough, Lu Yi's guesses were "confirmed" one by one shortly afterwards.

"Director Lu, come to my office after the meeting."

In front of everyone, Luo Yao stopped Lu Yi who had just closed the computer and was about to get up and leave.

This sentence made Lu Yi froze suddenly.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, Luo Yao was looking at her for a moment, locking her in place.

For a while, people from various departments in the conference room who hadn't completely left all looked at Lu Yi sympathetically.

She reached out and pressed her hand on the stack of documents she brought over without a trace, and pursed her lips.

Luo Yao seemed to know what she was thinking.

"By the way, bring your documents." Across a conference table, Luo Yao raised his hand and pointed at the thick stack of documents under the opponent's hand, and curled his lips, "I'm very interested."

It seemed to be responding to Lu Yi's words in the meeting just now.

I just don't know whether I'm talking about documents or people.
