Chapter 1754 Amazement and Adjustment
Small conference room on the 52nd floor of the Mingyuan Group headquarters building.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Huangpu River flows ceaselessly, and sunlight shines on the river's surface, making the entire conference room bright and airy.
Three walls are clad in dark brown walnut wood paneling, and one wall is made of glass. The design is simple and understated, yet exudes a restrained European luxury that is consistent with the style of the entire office building.
On either side of the long table, Guan Yujia, Feng Wan, and Zheng Xiaobing were working on documents with relaxed expressions, their fingers flying across tablets and keyboards. They occasionally exchanged a few words.
Their main job is to communicate information up and down the chain of command, similar to the Tongzhengsi (通政司) of the ancient imperial court, to ensure that Jing Gao is not misled by the group's senior executives.
But they don't actually need to put in much effort. When various departments report, the information is usually "copied" in the email system. They just need to extract the relevant important information, summarize it into a briefing, and give it to Jing Gao to read.
Moreover, this concise information-summarizing task was still done by the team below. The three women were not capable enough to handle such a high-level "secretary" job.
The title of President of Phoenix Group that Guan Yujia wore was more of an honorary title, mainly representing Jing Gao's permanent presence in the group.
After all, a portion of the shares of relatively important companies such as Phoenix Group and Phoenix Fund are held under Guan Yujia's name.
However, the daily tasks of "sorting" and "grading" keep them quite busy. After all, they are the "eyes" of the school, and they need to know about everything, big and small.
Guan Yujia sat to the side of the main seat, wearing a light pink Chanel suit dress. The close-fitting cut accentuated her shapely figure as a mature and beautiful 29-year-old woman, highlighting her firm breasts, slender waist, and the skirt hem falling to below her knees, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.
She possesses a charming and alluring temperament, with eyebrows arched like willow leaves and eyes as clear as water. She also exudes the aura of a high-ranking executive in charge of important matters, and is quite dignified and authoritative when working.
Feng Wan, standing beside her, wore a silk shirt paired with a white high-waisted pencil skirt, exuding gentleness, elegance, and quiet charm.
She has gentle, delicate features, a straight nose, and skin as smooth as porcelain. Her temperament is as gentle and warm as water, like a still spring. She is meticulous and thoughtful in her work, making her a reliable and trustworthy assistant.
Across from her, Zheng Xiaobing wore a burgundy fitted dress, her 1.7-meter tall figure slender and graceful, radiant as a flower. Her skin was fair, her eyes almond-shaped and her cheeks peach-blossom, her brows and eyes carrying a hint of competence and sharpness, with a touch of coldness.
She was an ice queen at work, and she was strict with her subordinates. Jing Gao liked to assign her some tasks to manage "troublemakers".
The three of them were each performing their duties quietly and efficiently, yet they also had a tacit understanding with each other.
Just then, the conference room door was gently pushed open a crack.
The newly transferred, beautiful young female assistant, Shu Mengfu, walked in lightly. She wore a moon-white silk short-sleeved shirt paired with a dark blue pencil skirt, a typical secretary's professional attire.
At the age of twenty-six, she was beautiful and charming. Her thin-rimmed gold glasses sat on her delicate nose, exuding a refined and intellectual air. She had a tall and voluptuous figure, standing at 1.7 meters, and her straight, beautiful legs were encased in ultra-thin, transparent flesh-colored stockings, making her incredibly sexy.
Judging from her appearance, temperament, and figure, she is a stunningly beautiful young woman, and she is also extremely capable. She graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree and a double degree in management.
She possesses both beauty and ability.
That's quite rare.
However, she was acting reservedly, clearly not yet fully adapted to the atmosphere of her new job. She had joined Phoenix Group through campus recruitment after graduation and had performed outstandingly over the past four years. She had only been transferred to the "Secretariat Group" less than three months ago.
This time, he skipped a level again and was transferred to work directly next to the boss.
Shu Mengfu walked quietly to Guan Yujia's side, bowed slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Sister Guan, I just received news that President Jing asked Sister Wenjun to escort President Liao downstairs."
Guan Yujia, Feng Wan, and Zheng Xiaobing all paused at the same time.
Their eyes met, exchanging a silent glance.
There was understanding, surprise, and a subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation in his eyes.
"Xiao Shu, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."
After letting Shu Mengfu leave, Guan Yujia raised her slender, jade-like wrist, glanced at the time on her watch, and sighed softly. Her voice was low but clear: "It seems that Liao Rong has really been given an important position by Brother Jing."
Her tone carried a hint of emotion. Brother Jing's schedule was always precise; he rarely made exceptions for work, but he often went overtime for leisure and entertainment.
The fact that Brother Jing could keep Liao Rong behind for a long talk, and that Chu Wenjun was there to see her off on his behalf, shows that this was no longer a simple work arrangement, but a clear indication of his importance and favor.
“How precious is Brother Jing’s working time…” Zheng Xiaobing leaned back in the soft chair, her tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness. “To be able to chat for so long, and even have Wenjun deliver it for him, Liao Rong has… completely secured her position.”
They still prefer An Zhiwen to have a stable position in Phoenix Group and not be challenged.
Feng Wan nodded gently in agreement and said softly, "After all, she was once the CEO of Galaxy Group, so her abilities speak for themselves. I just didn't expect her to impress Brother Jing so quickly."
The same question arose in the minds of all three:
What exactly did Liao Rong say to Brother Jing that made him take it so seriously in such a short time, and why did she give such a clear signal to the outside world?
This was completely different from their previous predictions, after all, the film and television market is limited. This business has never been just a business, but rather has other attributes.
They originally thought that with Liao Rong taking back control of the film and television business, times had changed and the three companies under Phoenix Group had undergone significant changes, especially with Brother Jing's financial support.
No matter how capable Liao Rong is, she still needs a transition period to gain Brother Jing's approval, but it seems that Brother Jing is already quite supportive of her work.
A moment later, Zheng Xiaobing's phone vibrated slightly.
She picked it up and saw that it was Chu Wenjun calling. She immediately answered, "Hello, Wenjun."
Chu Wenjun's calm yet slightly distant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Zheng, President Liao Rong has been brought downstairs. She asked me to do something: the actress Bai Lu, whom she brought, will stay for dinner and then meet President Jing with Gao Yuanyuan. She said that President Jing has personally confirmed this."
Zheng Xiaobing's eyes flickered slightly, and she replied calmly, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
After hanging up the phone, she looked up at Guan Yujia and Feng Wan and repeated what had happened.
"Ah?" Feng Wan exclaimed softly, her gentle face showing obvious surprise. This was different from before.
Jing Ge is actually very wary inside. For example, he basically doesn't go abroad now, especially not to the five Eyes countries.
If Brother Jing accepts Liao Rong's "offering," it means that he not only values Liao Rong but also trusts her to a certain extent.
An Zhiwen now holds a stable position as CEO of both Phoenix and Taichu Groups. She acts prudently and ensures smooth communication between superiors and subordinates. Those of them who serve as secretaries to Chief Executive Officer Jing have the easiest and most worry-free jobs.
However, Liao Rong is too sharp and her methods are quite ruthless. Once she takes the lead, the entire group's power structure will be reshuffled, and their work content, authority, and pace will all change.
At that time, the adjustment period alone will be very uncomfortable.
Guan Yujia sighed softly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's get back to work. As for the CEO position, whatever Brother Jing decides, we'll do. We'll follow Brother Jing's decision; don't worry about the rest."
There was not a trace of resentment in her tone, only pure loyalty.
Feng Wanrou said softly, "Sister Guan is right."
Zheng Xiaobing sighed, suppressing her sharpness, and nodded: "Yeah, we'll listen to Brother Jing. Whoever takes this position, they won't dare to annoy us, right?"
Guan Jie's loyalty to Jing Ge is etched into her very bones.
I would rather suffer injustice and have my work become more complicated than ever have the slightest thought of going against Brother Jing's will.
And aren't they the same?
After all, their wealth, status, and dignity all depend on Brother Jing.
Zheng Xiaobing picked up her phone and called her subordinates. "Notify the catering department to add one more guest to the lunch table later. Also, arrange for Gao Yuanyuan and Brother Jing's meeting this afternoon, along with Bai Lu, to avoid any mishaps."
"Yes, Sister Zheng."
