Seeing Su Yun looking so defeated, Jiang Xunzhi felt very pleased. Since Su Yun had been put in her place, the others in the department didn't dare to act out of line. It was widely rumored in the company that Jiang Xunzhi had the backing of Shen Tingsi, who was the president. With his protection, it was normal for Jiang Xunzhi to act arrogantly in the company. This was the general opinion among the employees, as Jiang Xunzhi was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Shen Siyi called for an impromptu meeting, requiring the leaders and cadres of various departments to attend. Jiang Xunzhi arrived at the meeting room and saw this General Manager Shen for the first time. Although his expression was calm, the condescending look in his eyes couldn't be concealed. Born into a wealthy family, he had been pampered and had a haughty temperament, looking down on everyone he met. At this moment, Jiang Xunzhi suddenly imagined Shen Tingsi and Shen Siyi sitting face to face. One was cold and stern, showing no signs of joy, while the other was aloof and self-centered, seemingly ignoring everyone. Thinking of this, she also remembered Lu Yanci, who was so different from these two. They were all part of the same family, so why were they not on the same page?
Several large characters were projected onto the screen: "Trace of Tears." This was a movie that was about to start filming, adapted from a novel that had received the highest praise from online readers. The film rights had been acquired recently, and Yuehua Pictures had invested two billion for the complete presentation of the scenes to the audience. The creative department's task was to finalize the pre- and post-production covers, as well as promotional posters and main actor posters for the movie.
After the meeting, Shen Siyi asked Jiang Xunzhi to stay behind. When everyone else had left, Shen Siyi looked her up and down and said, "Shen Tingsi personally arranged for the airdrop director. You don't seem all that special. What's your relationship with Shen Tingsi? Are you his kept woman?"
She came on strong as soon as they met, speaking with a mix of threat and coercion.
Jiang Xunzhi replied, "I'm just here to work. If we're talking about relationships, it's just a superior-subordinate relationship. He's the CEO, and I'm the subordinate."
Shen Siyi gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you implying that you don't respect me? Even if you were arranged to come in by him, I can still fire you. You're just an employee, there are plenty of people who want to join the company." She left the meeting room after saying this. A few minutes later, Jiang Xunzhi returned to the office and made herself a cup of refreshing coffee.
The words just now were a wake-up call for Jiang Xunzhi, reminding her to have self-awareness. Even if someone is backing her up behind the scenes, she is just a small employee and is not being taken seriously at all.
These days, the department has been designing the poster for the movie "Invisible Trace," but Su Yun is completely unsatisfied with the results. She has scolded the designers repeatedly, and even her favored Xia Xi did not escape the scolding. In order to undermine Jiang Xunzhi's authority, Su Yun has arranged for her to do unimportant tasks, and she has no qualifications to be involved in major projects.
When she was fetching water, she met Xia Xi crying in the water room. When Xia Xi saw her coming in, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, took the water cup and left. Jiang Xunzhi had just heard Su Yun scolding Xia Xi for lacking innovative design ability and merely copying others' work. She even told her to change careers as soon as possible. This was too hurtful, but how else could it reflect Su Yun's style?
After fetching the water, Jiang Xunzhi met Su Yun on the way back to the office. Su Yun still didn't look kindly at Jiang Xunzhi and said, "You have so much leisure time. While others are working hard, I'm busy, and you have the mood to wander around everywhere. Do you think the company is your home?" Jiang Xunzhi was originally someone who wouldn't provoke others, but if someone provoked her, she had to fight back: "It's not that I have leisure time. I've finished all the work that needs to be done. There's nothing to do."
Su Yun said, "Then won't you double-check to avoid causing delays for others due to mistakes?"
Jiang Xunzhi replied, "I've already checked. It's actually Director Su who should focus on the design draft. Isn't Mr. Shen expecting the initial creative draft this Friday? You seem quite flustered; I hope the creative draft isn't still undecided." Jiang Xunzhi hit her sore spot, but Su Yun remained calm and said, "Even if it's not, so what? You're also a member of the creative department, so you'll also get scolded when the time comes."
"I didn't say I don't have an initial draft. When Mr. Shen needs the draft, I'll give her mine," Jiang Xunzhi calmly took a sip of water.
"Want to impress Mr. Shen? You need to have the skills for it. Everyone in the company knows Mr. Shen's near-perfect attitude towards design. Just based on you, everyone knows you got into the company through connections." Su Yun whispered harshly in her ear, "Maybe in a few days, you'll be fired."
"I heard that you got this director position through the back door. But in just two years at the Shen, you managed to become a director. I wonder who guided you? President Xiao, President Du, or Mr. Shen." Jiang Xunzhi spoke clearly, wanting to see her reaction. Su Yun seemed visibly flustered, wanting to speak but then closing her mouth.
"Anyone can talk the talk, but who the success falls on is hard to say. We'll just have to wait and see." Su Yun struck a pose, turned and walked away. Jiang Xunzhi didn't mind her and went back to his office, took out a pen and sketch paper, and started drawing on it. After half an hour, a rough sketch was completed, and he continued to draw several more drafts.
She was designing the movie cover and promotional poster for "Trace of Tears" on the computer, and had completed about one-third of the design when she got hungry. It was lunchtime, so Jiang Xunzhi casually found a restaurant outside the company. On the way, he unexpectedly saw Shen Tingsi and Shen Siyi drinking tea together at a teahouse across from the company.
Through the glass, Shen Siyi actually smiled, a very bright and beautiful smile. Compared to the expression on Jiang Xunzhi's face when talking to her, they were completely different. However, Shen Tingsi remained the same, with no change in his expression. It's a pity that they couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Brother, next Tuesday is my birthday. I hope you can accompany me, like when we were young, to go horseback riding in Changhu Park," Shen Siyi said gently.
"On Tuesday, I will let you know when I am free." Shen Tingsi typed on the phone keyboard, "Han River Bar, No. 301, 9 p.m.," and then sent it. After that, he said, "I have some work to deal with, so I'm going back to the office."
Shen Siyi nodded with a smile, watched him walk away, angrily slammed the teacup, and then calmed down before getting up.
