Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

He's just taking advantage of you little girls' yearning for this glamorous world and showing off his experience and knowledge, you know?"

"uncle!"

Zhu Suosuo just opened her mouth when Fan Jingang interrupted her again, saying unhappily, "Am I that old? Call me brother!"

"Okay, brother! Thank you for your advice. Your wise words will help me avoid many detours in life. I am especially grateful to you. You are a very wise person!"

As he spoke, Zhu Suosuo reached out for the cell phone he had placed on the table.

Fan Jingang glared at her, helplessly saying, "Actually, I didn't intend to get involved in your business, but since you are Miss Nansun's best friend, and Mr. Ye just told you to come to me if you have any problems, then I have to get involved.

I'm telling you, Yang Ke, that's a huge fire pit, I can't just watch you jump in!"

"uncle…"

"Call me brother!" Fan Jingang interrupted her and corrected Zhu Suosuo's way of addressing him again.

"Brother, you are my real brother~~I know what I am doing. I already have a boyfriend and I won't jump into the fire pit!"

Zhu Suosuo smiled slightly and acted like a spoiled child, pulling Fan Jingang's sleeve while shouting!

Fan Jingang smiled and said, "Alright, alright, take the phone. Remember to stay away from Yang Ke. If you have any questions in the future, come and ask me. Communicate with me more and stay away from Yang Ke!"

"Okay, got it!"

Zhu Suosuo nodded and happily took the phone.

Fan Jingang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, get busy!"

"Okay, thank you Secretary Fan for your heartfelt words!"

…………

After coming out of Mr. Ye’s office, Zhu Suosuo began to check the missed calls on her mobile phone, as well as the messages from Luo Jiaming and Han Tao.

Then she hurried back to the sales department while replying to Han Tao's message.

After arriving at Yang Ke's office and briefly explaining the situation to him, Zhu Suosuo looked at Yang Ke and said:

"Manager Yang, I have some personal matters to attend to this afternoon. Can I ask you for half a day off?"

"Ask for leave?"

Hearing this, Yang Ke looked at Zhu Suosuo, then nodded in agreement:

"Okay, you can focus on your work more easily if you take care of your personal affairs. If you don't have enough time, I'll give you another day off tomorrow.

It's also my fault. After all, I started working straight away yesterday and didn't give you time to deal with your personal issues!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Suosuo, who was a little depressed and forcing a smile, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you need help?"

"No, I can handle it. Thank you, Manager Yang!"

Zhu Suosuo shook her head to indicate that everything was fine.

Yang Ke smiled and asked thoughtfully, "You're welcome. You're my soldier, and it's my duty to take care of you. But can you tell me what Old Ye wants to talk to you about?"

"She's my best friend Jiang Nansun's aunt. She's friends with Mr. Ye, really good friends, so she asked Ye Jinyan to look after me."

Zhu Suosuo smiled back and answered Yang Ke's questions truthfully.

Hearing this, Yang Ke gritted his teeth and joked, "I didn't expect that your connections are quite strong. It seems that Sister Zhu will have to take care of me more in the future!"

"Haha, what's so hard about that! I didn't expect my bestie to call her aunt and specifically ask Ms. Ye to look after me. I feel really embarrassed!"

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo laughed and rolled her eyes at Yang Ke.

Yang Ke looked at Zhu Suosuo seriously and said, "Look into my eyes and tell me, are you an undercover agent sent by Old Ye to be with me?"

Zhu Suosuo put away her smile, looked him in the eyes, and answered seriously: "Yes, I am the undercover sent by Mr. Ye. I get a salary from you, and then another from him!"

"you are not!"

Yang Ke stared at Zhu Suosuo's eyes for a moment, then smiled with relief and invited directly:

"Anyway, you're leaving in the afternoon. Dongli is about to open for sale. I'll show you around the model apartment and the surroundings. Let's go!"

"Okay, thank you Manager Yang!"

Zhu Suosuo nodded and thanked him, then returned to her workstation, picked up the baby, and followed Yang Ke out of the sales department.

Chapter 149 Gu Jia's Emotional Crisis

At around ten o'clock in the morning, in 1201 of Grand Hyatt Mansion, Gu Jia prepared breakfast herself and smiled at Xu Huanshan, who had just woken up from a hangover, across the table.

"Huanshan, are you still feeling bad? Don't drink so much next time. It's too harmful to your body.

And I heard that you got drunk and had a conflict with Mr. Wan. You have always been very rational. Mr. Wan is a big customer of ours. Can you tell me what happened?"

"Don't mention him to me, it makes me angry. It's because of those people who forced me to drink, otherwise how could I drink so much!"

After a round of complaints, Xu Huanshan rubbed his aching temple, looked up at Gu Jia, and continued with anger:

"I've really had enough of him. He's been going overboard every year for the past two years. Is there no limit to how much they can cut costs?

The reason why you always ask me to come up with a proposal and then keep rejecting it and arguing with me again and again, isn't it just to lower the price?

He also asked me if I had any fireworks that were about to expire or had just expired, and told us not to destroy them but to leave them for him.

You said that the plan I painstakingly designed is being used by people like this, isn't that like making dumplings and feeding them to pigs! "

After saying that, he didn't wait for Gu Jia to respond. Since he had already complained, he decided to say it all, so he complained with an ugly face:

“Sometimes I wonder why I started this company. It’s not getting closer to my dream, but getting further and further away.

In the past, I only cared about designing plans. No matter how imaginative I was, at least I was still an artist. But what about now?

Whenever my design plan comes out, what awaits me is always the cost and profit!

The question is whether we can come up with a better solution that satisfies the customers. Ultimately, it’s all about money. It’s so frustrating!”

"Phantom Mountain!"

Gu Jia knew that Xu Huanshan was going to quit again, so she could only suppress her thoughts and coax him with a forced smile:

"I know you don't like socializing or discussing business matters. How about this? I'll go talk to Mr. Wan!"

"Don't go, Gu Jia, I will never compromise this time!"

Xu Huanshan slammed his chopsticks on the table with a cold expression, looked at Gu Jia and said unhappily:

"Let me ask you this right now: am I still the one who makes the final decision in the company?"

"Yes, of course you are the one who makes the final decision in the company!"

Gu Jia nodded, smiled, and poured him a glass of warm water.

Xu Huanshan, still furious, said, "Since you say I'm the one who makes the final decision, then I'll give up on this deal, okay?"

After saying that, Xu Huanshan stood up, walked to the sofa, sat down on it, and no longer looked at Gu Jia.

"Okay, calm down!"

Seeing that he was starting to act impulsively again, Gu Jia walked up to Xu Huanshan, patted the back of his hand patiently, and said soothingly:

"I know Lao Wan isn't a very good customer, but we can't deny that the orders he gives us account for 50% of the company's annual profits. He's a customer we can't give up!"

Xu Huanshan glanced at Gu Jia and said, "Because of this, I have tolerated him for more than a year or two!"

"Huanshan, I understand how you feel, but if we don't cooperate with him, our funding chain will be broken next month. Can we just be patient for a while longer? Otherwise..."

"Gu Jia, don't you care about anything else besides money? Honestly, have you ever felt that my work was worthless?"

Before Gu Jia could finish, Xu Huanshan interrupted her and stared into her eyes and said loudly:

"You always ask me to endure it and always persuade me to compromise. Why can't you understand my feelings a little more?"

After saying that, Xu Huanshan got up from the sofa, walked into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut, completely ignoring Gu Jia's mood.

His action made Gu Jia's face darken. After looking at the bathroom, she picked up her phone and walked towards the balcony.

Gu Jia took a deep breath and reluctantly called Mr. Wan. When the other party answered, she quickly said with a smile:

"Mr. Wan, I'm from the Gu family. I want to explain to you what happened yesterday!"

"I know, I know, Mr. Wan, I'm so sorry!"

"Listen to me for a moment. You did blame me yesterday. I was negligent in taking care of your child's enrollment these past two days!"

"I understand. How about this? Give me another chance and I'll explain it to you in person!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wan, I definitely won't do that again. I will definitely be there on time!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Wan, for your generosity. See you tomorrow!"

When Gu Jia hung up the phone and returned to the living room, Xu Huanshan had already finished washing up and went back to the room to change clothes.

Considering yesterday's drinking party and Xu Huanshan's reaction today, Gu Jia felt that she had to do something, especially Li Ke, who must not be kept.

She had also noticed that Li Ke was thinking about Xu Huanshan before, and originally thought that if she sent him a meal or an orange and gave him a warning, everything would be fine.

Now it seems that Li Ke not only did not retreat when faced with difficulties, but also began to cross the line.

She never imagined that a small employee whom she didn't care about could actually affect Xu Huanshan's mood, and even threaten the normal operation of the company and damage the company's interests.

Thinking of this, Gu Jia followed Xu Huanshan to the company. After Xu Huanshan started working, Gu Jia went straight to print out a resignation report and then called Li Ke to the meeting room.

After the two of them sat down face to face, Gu Jia opened her aura and said seriously, "Li Ke, I called you here because I want to speak frankly!

You have been in the company for a short time and may not know much about it. This company was founded by me and Mr. Xu before I became a full-time housewife.

Before starting my own business, I worked in a foreign company for two years and met some girls who didn't pay much attention to their professional abilities, but instead focused all their attention on their leaders, especially male leaders.

Having said this, Gu Jia paused for a moment, then stared at Li Ke, who was feeling a little uneasy, and continued:

"These girls will study the leaders' preferences and regard gaining their favor as a reward. I don't think these girls have much ambition or ability to really make a splash.

They simply want to use their gender advantage to gain more favoritism and care, so that they can be lazy in their work and get promoted faster than their peers.

But after all, in the workplace, girls who choose to use this method also have to pay a price. But the only thing that cannot be tolerated is that they cause losses to the company."

"Sister Jia, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I..."

Li Ke rubbed his hands nervously, with an innocent expression and tears in his eyes as he looked at Gu Jia and tried to defend herself.

But Gu Jia didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted, "You don't need to explain. Everyone in the company knows that Mr. Xu has a good temper. I was wondering last night why he would go to the extent of fighting with a customer. Who inspired him?"

"I……"

Li Ke was speechless and tried to hide her guilt by pulling her hair. She did deliberately arouse Xu Huanshan's desire to protect her at the dinner table, but she didn't expect that he would fight with the client after she left.

Seeing this, Gu Jia took out a letter of resignation from her bag and pushed it in front of her.

"I've written your resignation letter. For that Orange's sake, sign it and leave in style!"

After saying that, Gu Jia didn't even look at Li Ke's aggrieved expression, and stood up and left the meeting room without looking back.

.....................

After leaving, Gu Jia went directly to Xu Huanshan's office and told him that she had fired Li Ke.

After listening to this, Xu Huanshan looked at Gu Jia expressionlessly and said, "There's no need for this. This matter has nothing to do with her. How can it be expedited to the point of being fired?"

"Huanshan, think about it calmly. The reason you fought with Lao Wan was because Li Ke was inciting your emotions.

Why did she take the initiative to ask to go to social events with you, and even blocked so many drinks for you at the table? Wasn't it just to gain your pity and sympathy! "

Gu Jia calmly analyzed the situation to Xu Huanshan, her tone without any waves or other emotions.

"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have realized that Li Ke actually had this idea?"

Xu Huanshan looked at Gu Jia in surprise. After Gu Jia's reminder, he finally reacted.

Seeing that he had figured out the problem, Gu Jia continued to explain patiently:

"Firing Li Ke was also for peace of mind. After all, an employee who loves to stir up trouble could be fatal to a fireworks company."

"I understand what you said!"

Xu Huanshan pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window of the rest area. He said thoughtfully, "I understand the principle, but isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

"Huanshan, I know you are soft-hearted!"

Gu Jia walked over to Xu Huanshan, took his hand and said, "I've asked the finance department to pay her two extra months' salary, and also wrote a letter of recommendation saying that he resigned voluntarily.
