Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 570: Chapter 293: Wen Ruan’s Display, Luo Bin Chapter 570: Chapter 293: Wen Ruan’s Display, Luo Bin Dense footsteps echoed across the office area of the marketing planning department, filling the air with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

They seemed to notice the glances coming their way.

Wen Ruan slightly tilted her head and swept her gaze over this way.

As their eyes met, one by one, her former colleagues unconsciously averted their gaze.

Those who had just been whispering about her hurriedly lowered their heads, their faces showing panic and unease.

“Bang!” Li Meiling’s mouth fell open as the coffee cup she was holding slammed onto the table, then rolled onto the floor, spilling everywhere.

Her eyebrows twitched violently as she started to clean up in a fluster.

After nodding lightly with a smile to a few former colleagues, Wen Ruan looked forward again and followed the crowd, disappearing around the corridor corner.

A few seconds of silence in the office area, then suddenly a buzzing sound of discussions arose.

“What’s going on? That was Wen Ruan, right?”

“Definitely! How come she seems like a changed person, looking even more imposing than our leaders.”

“Isn’t she here to handle the resignation handover today? Why did she come over with the investors?”

“From her position just now, why do I feel like Wen Ruan is the representative of the acquirers this time?”

“Maybe she knows that female executive from the other side?”

…

Listening to their anxious and uneasy discussions, Zhang Xintong’s legs couldn’t stop trembling, her face flushed with excitement.

As a devoted assistant to Sister Wen Ruan, gosh, I’m about to hit the jackpot!

I was indeed the courageous partner who bravely stood up when Wen Ruan faced off against Liu Chuanzheng!

A salary of 5000 can’t hold me back anymore! I am aiming for 8000!

Li Meiling bit her lip as she wiped the table clean, but now she dared not say a word.

Though she envied and often tried to sabotage Wen Ruan, she was still emotionally intelligent.

However you looked at it, Wen Ruan was frighteningly strong now, even their stern and domineering Chairman Zhang Shun had to be cautious around her.

For a while, Li Meiling felt confused and fearful.

Having been with the company for so long, she knew everything about her rival.

Just a regular person with higher education, if anything special, it was perhaps that she had a young and promising boyfriend.

That was what she envied most about Wen Ruan.

Just then, the rapid sound of footsteps echoed again.

HR Director Peng Haijing walked out from the direction of the large conference room.

As she passed by the marketing planning department, she paused and asked somewhat urgently, “Who in our department is closest to Wen Ruan?”

The colleagues exchanged glances, and Zhang Xintong promptly stood up and said, “President Peng, me me me! Is there anything I can do?”

Peng Haijing scanned the room, nodded, and said, “Xintong, Wenwen and the others are making tea. When you go over to help bring it in, ask Wen Ruan if she has any requests and inform me in time!”

“Sure thing!” Zhang Xintong’s eyes lit up instantly.

She was about to soar with Wen Ruan, and now was naturally the time to declare her stance and proclaim her identity as “Wen Ruan’s best colleague.”

The other colleagues sensed that something complicated was happening.

Peng Haijing was one of the earliest HR members at the company and a confidante of Chairman Zhang Shun, said to have a very special relationship with him.

The fact that she showed such regard was enough to illustrate Wen Ruan’s status.

A female colleague close to Peng Haijing couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Haijing, wasn’t Wen Ruan here to handle her resignation? What’s…”

“Stop!” Peng Haijing said urgently, “Don’t talk nonsense. The previous issues about Wen Ruan’s resignation were due to deliberate slander by Liu Chuanzheng. The company’s leadership has thoroughly investigated the reasons, and Liu Chuanzheng has since been legally sanctioned. Wen Ruan is still our employee!”

The resignation handover wasn’t completed, and the resignation certificate wasn’t issued. Wen Ruan hasn’t signed it, so everything can still be remedied.

Concerning a matter critical to the company’s life or death, Peng Haijing naturally had to state her stance.

Hearing President Peng’s passionate and serious words, even a fool would realize something was amiss.

Wen Ruan was definitely closely involved with the acquisition party coming this time.

A colleague whispered, “Sister Haijing, why is Wen Ruan with the leaders of the investors?”

“Yeah, can you share a bit about that?”

As the company’s HR director, they had all interacted with Peng Haijing, and many had good relationships with her.

Thus, their questions were quite open.

Peng Haijing paused for a moment, then said softly, “Wen Ruan is one of the main representatives of the acquirers this time.”

“Whoa—” A barely containable uproar ensued.

“Quiet! Quiet!”

Everyone promptly shut their mouths, but their eyes still expressed shock and astonishment.

Peng Haijing said solemnly, “You all have been Wen Ruan’s colleagues for many years and work in the same department. I hope you can speak well of the company privately to ensure job security for everyone.”

The wrong downsizing decisions made by the previous leadership added complications to the negotiations.

The only thing to do now is to try to make amends for past mistakes.

“Got it!” A quick-witted colleague responded immediately.

Light and Shadow Media was no small company; this acquisition was measured in billions.

This was enough to demonstrate the strength of the investor.

And Wen Ruan had become their representative.

Everyone understood the implications.

Even more crucially, once the acquisition was complete, what position would Wen Ruan hold?

It surely couldn’t still be just an ordinary team leader in the marketing planning department, could it?

She might very well end up a vice president straight away!

She might even replace Liu Chuanzheng as the Chief Operating Vice President.

In that case, all their attendance, salaries, and work would be under Wen Ruan’s management.
