Chapter 45 When Harry Met Sally (1)
"I heard you left me at the door of the hotel and ran away by yourself last night?" Lin Ruhui stared at Cheng Yin with a half-smile.

"No way!" Cheng Yin's face flushed immediately, "I told Jack to take you back, my father called me something, so I hurried home."

"If one day I'm in trouble and I can't do anything, will you leave me alone?"

"I..." Cheng Yin muttered, under Lin Ruhui's half-true and false eyes, she said with difficulty: "As long as it is within my ability...Of course not."

Lin Ruhui then withdrew his serious face and smiled, "Okay! I'm just joking with you, don't be so nervous."

Cheng Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and almost wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. With Lin Ruhui, the greatest pressure came from his aggressive tone at certain times, although there was no strength at all in his momentum, and he didn't even raise his head. The voice is loud, but it can attract thousands of troops to attack you invisibly, making it bitter and cold.

Fortunately for Cheng Yin, Lin Ruhui didn't say a word about the scene at the bathroom door last night. Looking at him, he seems to have completely forgotten it. It seems that she was entangled for most of the night, but nothing is better than nothing Well, Cheng Yin regained his ease.

"Give me yesterday's interview records as soon as possible." Lin Ruhui has already cut to the chase, and told her, "Besides, I won't be able to accompany you from now on. With me here, you will be very dependent. The interview is indeed everything. You have to be patient with the most troublesome part of the link. You can complete the research after the interview completely independently, remember to discuss it with Jack and the others frequently, and if you can’t solve it, come to me again.”

Cheng Yin flipped through the schedule, and found that the latter part was indeed as Lin Ruhui said, the difficulty was not high, and all the people who needed to be contacted had also met face-to-face.

However, it was a little strange for Lin Ruhui to let go of Cheng Yin so quickly, "Jimmy, do you have a new order to take?"

Lin Ruhui just smiled, "I may have to go out for a few days, call me if you need anything."

Without Lin Ruhui's day and night supervision, Cheng Yin and the others' progress in Ruiyuan was unexpectedly smooth. If you want any information, you can ask Xiao Yuan and you can get it immediately; When encountering resistance, even Cheng Yin occasionally had to ask Mr. Fan's subordinates to find out some situations, but it was easily resolved because of the trust of Chen Fen and others.

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in a blink of an eye.

On Sunday morning, Cheng Yin finally had a chance to sleep in, but was woken up by a call from Peter.

"Something happened to Gordon!" His voice could not tell whether it was gloating or anything else.

"What?" Cheng Yin got up from the bed without feeling sleepy.

Peter told her that Gao Xiang's accident this time was because of Yingrui. One of the projects they cooperated with was to do promotion and marketing for customers. This service content did not belong to AST's main business scope, but Gao Xiang probably did not have special projects because the project amount was too small. Separated, packaged and then transferred to Yingrui to do.

Yingrui’s marketing plan for clients was suspected of fraud and fooling end customers. Recently, a reporter from a newspaper broke the news, causing public uproar, which brought a big blow to Yingrui, and even AST was also implicated.

AST is most afraid of this kind of public opinion lawsuit. Whenever it encounters it, no matter whether it is the fault of the host manager or not, it will be severely punished. What's more, this time it was indeed caused by Gao Xiang's carelessness. He has no choice but to take the blame and resign.

"But I find it very strange." After Peter finished the story, he added his own analysis by the way, "The marketing plan has a very small scope, and it's been almost a year. How could tabloid reporters dig it out? And now there are many It's a jaw-dropping case, who would be too busy to turn their attention to an old case from the past?"

Cheng Yin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what he was referring to, but there were some things that she couldn't speak rashly.

Peter obviously understood, and he stopped talking, and finally sighed, "Although I don't like Gordon, it's a bit too cruel to mess with him like this! Who knows whose turn it will be next!"

Cheng Yin always thought that Gao Xiang would capsize because of Ruiyuan, but he didn't expect to fall into the old case in the end. No matter how he thought about it, it would make sense. The fact that he recommended Mr. Fan's line to Yingrui has no evidence, and it doesn't count. Illegal, far less serious than the current public opinion dispute.

AST's public relations department is famous for its quick response, and it took only two days to settle the accident, of course at the cost of Gao Xiang's exit.

Before Gao Xiang left the company, Cheng Yin met him in his office. At that time, he was arranging his personal belongings. A high-quality silk shirt didn't wrinkle much when he bowed his head to pick up the things on the ground. It was just the back view that Cheng Yin felt Kind of bleak.

When he straightened up, he saw Cheng Yin standing silently by the door.

"Thank you for remembering to say goodbye to me." When he said this, a faint self-mockery rose from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm... very sorry." Cheng Yin's eyes were sincere and full of apology, but he couldn't say anything touching and weighty.

It's not what she expected for Gao Xiang to get to where she is today. All she can think of at the moment is his care for her when she first joined the company.

Gao Xiang knows countless people, so naturally he can tell the good from the bad, and what's more, with today's situation, his cynicism will only make him not only lose the situation, but also lose his demeanor.After a slight sigh, he actually apologized to Cheng Yin frankly.

"I'm sorry, Fanny, I've asked too much of you all this time, but I haven't given you much chance." He smiled desolately, "Maybe, I'm really not a good boss."

This was the first time Cheng Yin heard him blame himself since she met him, and she was suddenly very sad.

After Gao Xiang left, the director's position seemed to be frozen. The HR department neither issued a transfer notice nor saw any signs of new recruitment.All important matters within the department have to be sent directly to Frank for review by email.

Lin Ruhui has been staying at the Chicago headquarters. Before he left, he said he would go for a few days, but unexpectedly, these days turned into half a month—he went to participate in a 30-day leadership training.

Peter is very familiar with all kinds of training in AST. According to him, the training that Lin Ruhui participated in is a compulsory course for management at the director level and above. "If you have not taken this course, you are not qualified to be a director."

During this time, except for Lin Ruhui giving necessary instructions to Cheng Yin and others by phone during the special meeting, he never took the initiative to call Cheng Yin to ask anything during the rest of the time.Cheng Yin, out of a certain psychology, did not want to communicate with him in private.

Gao Xiang's departure confirmed that all the rumors she had heard before were true. Lin Ruhui was indeed doing something behind the scenes, but he was very calm, no matter what the outside world guessed, he just went his own way.

Now everyone knows that the director's position is only waiting for Lin Ruhui to take up the post after returning.

This incident caused Cheng Yin to have mixed feelings. Of course, she had no position or reason to blame Lin Ruhui's behavior, but she still felt that there was an invisible barrier between herself and Lin Ruhui.

After the marketing scandal went through AST's public relations, it soon focused on Yingrui and project customers alone, and follow-up reports emerged one after another.

Relevant personnel from Yingrui also came forward to clarify and explain, but the language was pale and unconvincing.Cheng Yin paid close attention to Yang Fan, and she became more and more worried about Yang Fan. According to her understanding, Gao Xiang and Ying Rui's cooperation were all contacted through him. Now that Gao Xiang is out of the game, can Yang Fan escape?

I wanted to make a phone call to Tang Ye to inquire about it, but Cheng Yin quickly spurned her own thoughts. Even if Yang Fan found out that she cared about him, what did she care about him? She hated her current confounding mentality.

After thinking about it, Cheng Yin was heartbroken and called Yang Fan. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to ask him face to face.

Yang Fan was a little surprised when he received Cheng Yin's call.

Cheng Yin cut to the chase, "I just want to ask you, does Yingrui's current trouble have anything to do with you? Gordon has already left, I," Cheng Yin gritted her teeth, "I don't want you to get involved too."

After pondering for a few seconds, Yang Fan said, "This is not a problem that you can get rid of if you don't want to."

Cheng Yin's heart trembled, "So, it has something to do with you?"

"If I go to jail, will you come and see me?" There was a palpable smile in his voice.

"What time is it, you're still joking like this!" Cheng Yin shouted angrily.

Only then did Yang Fan get serious, "I didn't handle it, so it shouldn't have too much involvement with me."

Cheng Yin was overjoyed, "Really? I read the reports on this matter every day, you don't know how worried I am—"

She stopped abruptly after blurting out the words.

Yang Fan on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time.

"Well, it's fine as long as it's okay." Cheng Yin said coyly, wanting to hang up.

"Cheng Yin." Yang Fan called her suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Thank you for remembering to care about me."

Cheng Yin laughed, his tone was exactly the same as Gao Xiang's.

"I haven't had time to congratulate you on winning Ruiyuan." Yang Fan said again, "However, Ruiyuan is not as simple as you think, so be careful in everything. If possible, try to get Lin Ruhui to come forward, he will be your rightful boss soon. "

Since Cheng Yin joined the Ruiyuan project, she had heard too many similar alarmist words, mostly from Yang Fan's mouth, but only this time, she suddenly felt terrified.

Yang Fan quickly chuckled again, "I hope I'm worrying too much... He should not harm you by supporting you so much."

After finishing the call, Cheng Yin stood in the wind holding her mobile phone, her whole body was once again wrapped in the confusion of not knowing what to do.

The first phase of the Ruiyuan project is about to come to an end. Cheng Yin sorted out the report and sent it to Lin Ruhui by email. One second before sending it, she hesitated to ask when he would be back at the end of the email. While thinking, she pointed He knocked on it quickly.

She didn't receive Lin Ruhui's reply until the afternoon of the second day. To put it simply, there were two days left for the training.

Cheng Yin was stunned for a while at the fact-based answer. She actually wanted to ask him a lot of questions, such as how much Gao Xiang's departure had to do with him, or how he singled out Gao Xiang when he was able to support the Ruiyuan project. Is the time before the accident to go to the United States calculated in advance?

A guess is just a guess after all, Cheng Yin wants to get a concrete and reliable truth, even though she is not very clear about her reaction and choice if the guess comes true.

Someone knocked lightly on the door of the meeting room, and after a while, a girl walked in lightly holding a file in her hand. Cheng Yin recognized her as Liu Lijun, another subordinate of Mr. Zhao.

"Hi, Fanny!" Liu Lijun greeted her with a smile, and handed her a signed form.

Cheng Yin took it over and asked casually, "Why didn't you see Xiao Yuan today?"

In the past, every time she came to Ruiyuan, Xiao Yuan would greet her personally, and when he had enough time, he would chat with her affectionately.

"She is very busy and has been in meetings." Liu Lijun's eyes flickered a little, "Xiao Yuan said that your first issue is coming to an end, and I should treat you to a meal, but I have something to do these two days. I have to make up for it next time. Let me say sorry to you!"

"It's okay!" Cheng Yin laughed, "Xiao Yuan is too polite, we are just doing our own business."

After packing up, it was time for Cheng Yin to leave. Liu Lijun said goodbye to her at the door, "I won't see you off! I'm worse than Xiao Yuan, I'm so busy!"

As soon as you leave the conference room, you will find a row of floor-to-ceiling windows in the office hall. The afterglow of the setting sun shines in through the glass, and the glaring light makes Cheng Yin almost unable to open his eyes.

She squinted subconsciously, and walked forward facing the light, the exit was opposite the meeting room.

A figure moved towards her from the direction of the entrance and exit. Looking back against the light, the facial features were blurred into a ball. Judging from the body shape, it was vaguely discernible that it was a woman.

When she got closer, she realized that it was Chen Fen, the online supervisor. Her eyes were fixed on Cheng Yin, as if she didn't know her.

Cheng Yin walked over with a smile, and was about to say hello to her, when Chen Fen stopped abruptly.

"Miss Zhou," she glanced behind Cheng Yin, "why don't you see Mr. Lin?"

Her voice was a bit weird, Cheng Yin was slightly surprised, but patiently explained, "He's working on other projects, if you have any problems, just tell me the same."

"The same?" Chen Fen glanced at her suspiciously.

"En." Cheng Yin nodded sincerely.

"Okay!" Chen Fen smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled up, stepped forward, and before Cheng Yin could react, she had already raised her hand and slapped her left cheek hard.

The crisp slaps and Cheng Yin's screams attracted countless eyes in the hall to follow them.

Cheng Yin has never seen such a vicious face, encountered such a cruel scene, covered half of her face, stunned and stunned, and stood there dumbfounded for a while.

Chen Fen sneered and said: "I gave this slap on behalf of Mr. Fan! Even if he did something wrong, he was sincerely for the company, unlike you who helped the surnamed Zhao to engage in those vile schemes and tricks, and deceived him." We thought you were all saviors of the world, and you spoke out what was on your mind! Now the surname Zhao is pretending to save Mr. Fan! Let me tell you, don’t pretend! Isn’t it the secret you went to tell?? Do you do one thing to the face and the other behind the back!!"

"You, what did you say?" Cheng Yin's mind was buzzing, as if she understood a little bit, but it became a mess in an instant.

Xiao Yuan led three or five security guards and ran towards this side. The two security guards who were running fast were about to reach out to restrain Chen Fen, but she suddenly stopped her, "Don't touch me! I can walk by myself!"

She tore off the badge, threw it on the ground, and said to Xiao Yuan solemnly: "You don't need to clean it up, I won't do it now!"

There was loud applause from somewhere in the hall, and when Xiao Yuan turned his head to look for it, the sound disappeared immediately.

Chen Fen was quickly taken away by security guards.

"How are you?" Xiao Yuan asked Cheng Yin with concern, full of apology, "Too busy today, I didn't take care of anything! I'm really sorry, it's my suddenness to make you suffer like this..."

"What's going on here?" Cheng Yin resisted the sharp pain on her cheeks, pulled herself together and asked Xiao Yuan, she had to understand why she was hit by this slap.

Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then briefly explained to her, "Mr. Fan is under surveillance by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It seems that he is suspected of corruption. I don't know who is going to report it. Mr. Zhao was in a hurry. He had a meeting all day and was trying to find a way Woolen cloth!"

The vague worry in Cheng Yin's heart instantly expanded, and soon became a bottomless black hole.She looked at Xiao Yuan's flickering eyes, her hidden eyes seemed to have told Cheng Yin the truth.Cheng Yin's heart suddenly became cold.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yuan asked uneasily when she saw her face suddenly pale.

Cheng Yin waved her hand weakly, "It's okay, you can go to work."

She turned around to leave, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

"I'll find someone to take you down." Xiao Yuan raised his hand to summon a male staff member.

Cheng Yin didn't give in, and was escorted out of Ruiyuan by the male staff member, and got into a taxi again.

Sitting on the slightly bumpy back seat, she felt as if she had recovered, and found that her body was shaking constantly, and there was still a burning pain on her face. The lingering rhyme of shock lingered all over her body, unwilling to dissipate for a long time.

An unknown fire suddenly rushed to the top of her head. Without thinking about it, she rummaged through her bag and took out her mobile phone. She didn't care whether Lin Ruhui was still dreaming, so she directly dialed his mobile phone number and waited for him to answer. .

The ring rang for a long time, and finally someone picked up the phone. Lin Ruhui's quiet voice came from the receiver, "What's the matter, Fanny?"

Cheng Yin took a breath, and tried not to be too impulsive in her words, even though she knew it was difficult for her to do so at this moment.

"President Fan of Ruiyuan is being monitored by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. You don't know about this, do you?"

Lin Ruhui paused for a moment, "I know."

Cheng Yin felt that the blood in her whole body was rushing to her head, "So, everything was planned by you and Mr. Zhao?"

At this moment, she suddenly understood that the so-called Ruiyuan reform was just a cover, "So no matter what argument Mr. Zhao demands from us, you will not object, because these are insignificant, and these are not the ultimate goal. The purpose is that he wants President Fan to leave, right?"

"..."

Cheng Yin suddenly became sad and angry, "But I still don't understand why you chose me? Why did you let me enter the game?"

Lin Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Because you entered this industry to have the opportunity to prove yourself and stand out, have you forgotten?"

Cheng Yin froze for a moment.

Lin Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, "Fanny, do you still remember what you told me when I invited you for the first time? You have ambitions, but what you lack is opportunities. I told you, I will give you opportunities, But opportunities also mean risks. What I can do is to give you opportunities while avoiding getting you into trouble as much as possible. Yes, the Ruiyuan Project is a gamble. Although it is controlled by Mr. Zhao, we are the ones who sit on the bank. , no matter Mr. Zhao can win or not, for you and me, we are definitely winners! This is why I pulled you in. Why can't you accept it calmly? In every game, someone wins and someone loses, and everyone only pays attention to the result , why do you want to hold on to the process?"

"Why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

"Tell you what? Tell you how hard it is to do this? Will you have the courage to do it?"

"..."

"Fanny," Lin Ruhui said in a slow tone, "I have already sent a report to Frank, you can officially become a consultant of AST, and you are not at the bottom, because of this order, you became famous in the company in one fell swoop, just like me back then .Aren't you happy at all?"

Cheng Yin felt empty in her heart, she seemed to have won, but she didn't feel the joy of winning at all, Chen Fen's slap in the face wiped out the joy in her heart.

"Okay, I won't say much, I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll talk to you after we meet."

"Jimmy!" Cheng Yin called to stop him, biting her lip, "I don't know how to measure winning or losing, but I don't think it's a sign of victory for a project to be slapped at the end!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Ruhui asked awe-inspiringly.

"Do you still remember Chen Fen? You asked her to provide you with the supplier's number, including some details of the materials. You found it from her to pinch Mr. Fan's lifeline, right?" Cheng Yin took a deep breath, "Just now, she slapped me hard in Ruiyuan's hall!"

Before Lin Ruhui could react, Cheng Yin hung up the line quickly, and tears moistened her eyes once again.
