Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1188: When did Kong Xiaopang become so powerful?
When Kong Ziqian appeared in front of everyone, the atmosphere in the entire office froze instantly.

Carol, who was scolding Imanda loudly, was stunned when she saw Kong Ziqian appear, and her voice stopped abruptly.

What the hell is this? !
Didn't they say that this young man wasn't interested in Imanda at all?
The other employees also stopped their work and looked at this scene in surprise.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

Everything was fine the first two times, why did this guy come out today?

80% of the momentum comes from status.

Although Kong Ziqian is only an 18-year-old boy, his rank is there. The company officially announced that he is the assistant to the general manager of the African headquarters.

Moreover, they were also aware of the gossip in the office that Kong Ziqian would soon serve as the Secretary-General of the African Legion.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
As the top two leaders of the African Corps, Zhu Zhaojiang and Bai Le promoted and trained Kong Ziqian in the company, which made the confused people find out the whole story after asking around.

This young man was the college roommate of the chairman of Yanhuang Group.

Being a college roommate and being the focus of training is definitely the most important part of the three great ironies in life: "being in the same class together."

This young man came here either to gild himself or to gain experience, or even just to eat and wait for death, but he is not someone that these grassroots employees would dare to offend.

Wearing a well-tailored suit, a neatly-tied tie and polished leather shoes, every step Kong Ziqian took seemed to step on everyone's hearts.

He always remembered the lesson that Zijianlaoda taught him at the beginning of his freshman year.

When he asked, "Why do everyone treat him like a child?", the eldest brother said,
'You should dress appropriately for the occasion you are attending. This will not only project a professional image, but will also make others take you more seriously.'

So, at this moment, Kong Ziqian couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He learned how to dress like the cheap boss, and he also learned how to lose his temper without making any noise.

I have to say, it’s useful!
His pace slowed down by another three points.

But the expression on his face looked even gloomier as his lips were tightly pursed.

His small eyes narrowed into a slit, slowly fixed on everyone's faces, staring directly at those who dared to look him in the eye.

Everyone felt an invisible pressure, as if someone was taking the lead, but wherever Confucius looked, the people present couldn't help but lower their heads and dared not look at him.

In the closed office behind Kong Ziqian, Bai Le, who was watching the excitement through the gap in the blinds, was stunned when he saw this, and blurted out "Fuck?"

When did Kong Xiaopang become so powerful?
Looking at the little fat boy who made a domineering appearance, Bai Le, who was originally surprised, could only smile bitterly helplessly.

There's nothing I can do.

I can’t compare to others, they are just lucky!

In ancient times, people like me would be considered as subjects of a small noble.

As for Kong Ziqian and Huluwa, it depends on their abilities.

The one with weaker ability is the head of Jiangning Weaving Bureau - Langzhong.

Although his official position was only fifth rank, everyone had to treat him as a master and respect him.

This is because, even if they have no ability, they have close relations with the royal family, so their power is actually enormous and they can submit secret reports directly to the emperor.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such a person?
And those with strong abilities would be even more amazing, and they would be guaranteed to be important officials of the empire and the prince's tutor.

A little stronger, a king of a different surname.

Although all kings of different surnames have had a bad ending since ancient times, Qing Yun is not a real emperor after all, and there are many "kings of different surnames" in the business world.

Bai Le shrugged his shoulders, not feeling resentful. As a former toilet salesman, he was already very satisfied with what he had today.

The first watershed in life is amniotic fluid, and no one should be blamed for fate.

The entire office was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.

The unquestionable majesty revealed in Kong Ziqian's eyes made Carol shiver.

He also wanted to bow his head, but it was obvious that he couldn't do it.

Because this young man came here just for him.

Kong Ziqian slowly walked to Imanda, stopped, turned around, and just stared at Carol coldly without saying a word.

This silence made Carol suddenly nervous.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his heart beat faster, as if he felt an invisible pressure.

He quickly apologized with a smile and said, "Boss Kong, I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell Imanda what to do if she encounters this kind of situation in the future."

His voice began to tremble and his eyes were full of panic. He looked miserable standing there sifting chaff.

But no one laughed at him.

He was just a grassroots employee of the Tanzanian branch of the Yanhuang Group's African subsidiary, while Kong Ziqian was a senior executive assigned to the African subsidiary by the group's headquarters.

He is also a close confidant of the group chairman.

There is a huge gap between the levels of the two. If you offend this kind of celestial dragon, it will be like the sky falling no matter where you are.

Hearing this, Kong Ziqian sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain, "She is my assistant. When did she become someone you can order around?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt mixed emotions.

Everyone understood immediately.

Regardless of the reason why Kong Ziqian had been indifferent or ignored Imanda before, at this moment, Kong Ziqian stood up for Imanda and clearly announced to everyone:

Imanta was his, and he protected her.

Some veterans in the workplace secretly wondered whether there was any deeper meaning behind Kong Ziqian's action.

They looked at Kong Ziqian with a hint of vigilance and curiosity in their eyes.

They knew that Kong Ziqian held a very high position in the company and his move might even have a significant impact on the company's internal relations.

Putting aside other things, there is absolutely no problem in holding the department head directly accountable for the bid review issue.

The signatories are responsible, and those who bear the responsibility must be the middle-level officials, and it has nothing to do with the top-level officials.

Because review and approval are only one word apart, but they are two different concepts.

'Verification' is to check whether the standards are met, and 'approval' is to make the final decision based on the premise of 'verification'.

The responsibility lies with the core.

Carol's department leader's face turned green at this moment, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

He is a Chinese employee, so he understands the horror of Kong Ziqian even better.

This guy is the chairman of the group who did everything he could to get him to come to Africa for training...

It's just that God is chasing me and feeding me.

Some of the women present, while burning with gossip in their hearts, were also lamenting Imanda's good fortune.

They looked at Imanda with a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

The domineering Cinderella plot in Chinese TV dramas is reflected in reality? !
And those fake sisters who had distanced themselves from Imanda because of Kong Ziqian's sudden indifference towards Imanda were now regretting their decision.

When it comes to entering the workplace, compared to college students like Kong Ziqian and Imanda who are still on campus, they can be said to be experienced people.

They now saw too clearly the emotions between boys and girls.

Looking at Imanda, their eyes revealed a hint of regret and helplessness.

If they had known that Kong Ziqian would stand up for Imanda, they would not have distanced themselves from her.

just now……

I have to find a way to make little sister Imanta happy.

Carol, who was being stared at by everyone, was cursing his bad luck in his heart.

The first words Confucius said left him completely without any reason to argue.

That's true. No matter from which perspective, if I want to use Imanda, I must say hello to Imanda's direct leader Kong Ziqian.

It's just that everyone thought that Imanda had offended Kong Ziqian, or had not fulfilled Mr. Kong's wish, so she was banished to the cold palace and left in a corner to fend for herself.

Because for two consecutive weeks, Kong Ziqian did not arrange for Imanda to do anything, which was no different from forcing someone to resign.

Before Carol could finish regretting in his heart, Kong Ziqian opened fire again.

"The intern made a mistake, shouldn't you reflect on yourself for not explaining it clearly?

The intern made mistakes in binding the tender documents, which led to the company's failure in the bid...

This is the first time I heard that in the Yanhuang Group, an intern can take on such a big responsibility!
Didn't you review the bid she made?
Then tell me, why does the company need you as a formal employee?

If nothing goes wrong and the bid is successful, does it mean that it was she who won the bid, not you?

Because you haven't even seen it.

So, should you give her a portion of the salary the company pays you?

You get the credit, but if something goes wrong you put the blame on the intern? Is that what you mean?"

Carol knew very well that Mr. Kong was just protecting his own people and there was no point in arguing.

He felt a little aggrieved, but how could he confront the future executives of the group headquarters at this time?
He's not a fool.

"Boss Kong, I was wrong. It was my fault."

This happened because he had seen Kong Ziqian not protecting Imanda at all, and he had some dirty thoughts in his mind.

It's just the normal human behavior when facing beautiful newcomers to society and veterans in the workplace.

After all, Imanda is a recognized beauty by both Chinese and white people in the company, she is just of lowly ancestry.

Even though she was a pure-blooded black woman, he didn't think Imanda was very beautiful.

But he didn't want to marry Imanta. It would be nice if he could take a picture of her on the bed and show her off.

Putting a girl on the bed and chasing her is one method, and PUA in the workplace is also a method.

In this kind of thing, the brave ones enjoy life, while the timid ones regret it all their lives.

He was just the first one to take action, and there were many people in the company who had the same idea.

At this time, Kong Ziqian came out. As they were all men, he also knew what the root cause was.

I can only say that I was unlucky and was too horny to make a good judgment.

So Carol simply admitted her mistake.

The class gap was too big for him to feel resentful.

On the contrary, judging by his own experience, he was more worried that the young man Kong Ziqian would act on impulse.

In order to please Imanda, he struck himself with thunder to show his masculinity.

He knew very well that firing him was just a matter of a casual remark from Confucius Qian, and no one would bother to stand up and speak for him, and no one would stop Confucius Qian.

Carol suddenly had an idea and took a step to the side. She spoke to Imanda who was standing behind Kong Ziqian.

"Imanda, I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly, I was too impatient, and I made you feel wronged."

Imanda, who was staring at Kong Ziqian's back in a trance, was now absent-minded.

When many animals are in danger, their bodies become rigid and their brains go blank.

This state, which is regarded as "surrender", is actually a biological individual defense mechanism.

In other words, when animals face danger or attack and realize they cannot effectively fight back or seek help from outside, their bodies automatically enter a state of immobility.

People are no exception.

Therefore, when women are assaulted, they do not always show the reaction mode of "fight or escape" that we generally think of. Instead, there is a certain probability that their bodies will become stiff and their minds will go blank.

Previously, when facing Carol's accusations, Imanda was in a state of "unable to effectively fight back or seek help from outside."

And Kong Ziqian's brilliant appearance will not change this situation.

Imanda, who had a prejudice against him, subconsciously did not think that Kong Ziqian's appearance would have a positive outcome.

Things could only get worse.

When she heard her name, she came back to her senses with a cry. After hearing Carol's next words, she waved her hands and said timidly,

"It's okay. I...I will definitely pay attention next time and won't cause any trouble to anyone again."

Carol, who had been secretly glancing at Kong Ziqian's expression, felt her legs go weak when she heard this.

Damn it, he even wanted to kneel down to this little girl.

Should she see what she is talking about!

How is this accepting an apology?
This is pushing him into the eighteenth level of hell.

Carol had hoped that Imanda would accept his apology and ease the tense atmosphere, but Imanda's response made him feel even more helpless and desperate.

To Carol, Imanda was emphasizing that she would be more careful and would not make similar mistakes again, while also implying that Carol's mistakes had caused her trouble.

This was equivalent to reconfirming Carol's fault in front of everyone, making it even more difficult for Carol to shirk responsibility in front of Kong Ziqian.

Imanda's cowardice and obedience at this time were like adding fuel to the fire.

He couldn't help but sigh that he had completely misjudged the situation.

If Imanda is thrown into the Indian Ocean, it will directly turn the Indian Ocean into thick tea.

He knew very well that in the company, offending senior management would not end well, and he was afraid that he would lose everything.

What's more, he knew better that Kong Ziqian was about to take a further step in the company at this time, and he had ample motivation to establish his authority.

It is not a smart move for young people to attack old-timers in the workplace no matter where they are.

However, there are exceptions to everything. An unsuccessful operation is a joke, but a successful operation is proof of excellent management skills.

But at this moment, he had absolutely no ability to fight back.

Kong Ziqian grasped his own weakness from the very beginning.

Using human resources across departments without prior notice, especially those working under senior executives, is a big taboo in the workplace from any perspective.

Carol's mind went blank.

No matter what year it is, it is not difficult to find a job. What is difficult is to find a satisfying job.

However, Carol completely overestimated her own presence and completely underestimated Kong Ziqian's...love brain.

Imanda's reaction at this time made Kong Ziqian, who only had eyes for her at the moment, so angry that he had no time to pay attention to an ant.

Moreover, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy after all, and he didn't have the intention to establish his authority through this incident.

Grabbing her wrist, the little fat boy said firmly, "Senior, come back to school with me. I have something urgent that I need your help with."

He decided to have a good talk with Imanda. Being so humble and easy-going in the workplace would only put him at a disadvantage.

Even the cleaning lady didn't believe Kong Ziqian's excuse.

This is especially true for Imanda's group of plastic working sisters.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Imanda's back was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

This is obviously a plot where the relationship breaks through after the hero saves the beauty.

What a pity, I can’t see it.

Well, out of sight, out of mind.

Imanda was terrified.

She also thought that Kong Ziqian was going to force a showdown.

But she didn't dare to disobey Kong Ziqian's wishes. After all, Kong Ziqian was indeed helping her just now, so she could only follow him.

……

Kong Ziqian did not drive back to school, but took Imanda to a cafe.

The waiter quickly brought coffee and mineral water with cherry tomatoes into the small private room.

If Bai Le were here, he might get up and leave immediately.

The surface of cherry tomatoes is not as smooth as it appears to the naked eye. When liquid is poured into the cup, a dense layer of bubbles will form around the skin of the cherry tomatoes.

And if someone adds something into the cup, because the density is different from the original liquid in the cup, it will destroy the layer of bubbles, especially some small tablets or XX water, which can be seen at a glance.

This is a self-defense measure taken by the ladies who hang out in nightclubs all year round.

Obviously, they know that girls who do this are not simple, and nightclub veterans will not waste their time.

Although Kong Ziqian didn't understand these things, he was very clear about Imanda's situation.

He is not stupid, and Zhu Zhaojiang and Bai Le are even less stupid. They have already found out everything about Imanda.

After all, if something happened to Kong Ziqian in Africa, these two people would not be able to explain themselves.

After secret investigation, all of Imanda's experiences appeared on Kong Ziqian's desk.

After the waiter closed the door and left, Kong Ziqian looked at the very nervous Imanda in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke,

"Imanda, I know you have a kind heart and are always willing to help others.

But you have to understand that in the workplace, not everyone is as kind as you.

Carol's job is not yours to do. You are not even in the same department. How can he ask you for help without going through me and just ask for it?

This is a big mistake he made in the workplace, and it’s also yours!"
