Chapter 7 Leaving?!

  "Let me introduce, Wang Xue is my daughter, just graduated from university, so I want her to come to the company for training. Xiao Gao, I want her to go to your department, no problem, right?" said the chairman with a smile.

  "Of course, no problem at all, Chairman, it's my honor."

  What? She's the chairman's daughter? This is all over, definitely all over. I've had two run-ins with her before, and she said she'd get revenge for sure. Now I've actually bumped into her here, looks like this job isn't going to be kept after all. Zhang Ziheng thought to himself as he hastily lowered his head and covered his face with his hand, hoping not to be recognized by her.

  "Ziheng, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Ziwenn asked worriedly.

  "It's nothing, just a sleepless night, feeling a bit tired, don't mind me." Zhang Ziheng said with a wave of his hand.

  "By the way, Xiao Gao, my daughter has a rather free-spirited personality and sometimes throws tantrums like a spoiled little princess. As long as she doesn't do anything too excessive, you can just let her have her way. However, when it comes to the planning department, what you say goes - just don't treat her like the general manager, haha." The chairman chuckled.

  The words made everyone in the conference room laugh, and Gao Yang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Chairman, I know what to do."

  "Alright, let's talk about this project. This isn't our first time cooperating with a foreign company, so I think there shouldn't be any problems. Little Xu, tell us about your department's design," said the chairman.

  Director Xu nodded, stood up and picked up the design drawings to explain slowly. Director Xu's explanation was concise and clear, making it easy for people to understand, and with her charming temperament, it made people listen with great interest. In less than half an hour, she had explained more than a dozen design drawings.

  The chairman nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly he saw that there was still one design diagram that had not been explained, so he asked: "Xiao Xu, what about that design diagram? What's it like?"

  "Oh, I haven't had a chance to carefully review this design drawing yet. However, I've brought the designer with me, so let him explain it to you instead." Xu said, looking back at Zhang Ziheng.

  It's over, this time I'm done for. Seeing everyone's gaze gathered on him, Zhang Ziheng's forehead was covered in sweat.

  "Oh, so it was that young man from earlier. Alright then, come and tell everyone." The chairman nodded with a smile.

  It can't be helped, it seems that I have no choice but to grit my teeth and bear it. Zhang Ziheng stood up and walked to the front of the conference table, but his hands covering his face did not come down.

  "The concept of this design drawing is..."

  "Young man, you should show us the design drawings instead of looking at them by yourself," said the chairman.

  Xu rushed to make an eye contact with Zhang Ziheng, as if asking him what was going on. Poor Zhang Ziheng was now like a mute eating bitter melon, having grievances but unable to speak.

  He could only put down the design drawing in front of his face and turn to everyone, but still with his hand on his face.

  "Zi Heng, what's wrong with you? Put your hands down, how can you be so rude?" This time Xu Zong finally couldn't help but scold him, frowning as he spoke.

  "Hey kid, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Why are you always covering your face?" The chairman also felt puzzled and asked with a smile.

  "Ah... it's like this, Chairman. I didn't sleep all night yesterday because I was rushing to finish this design drawing, so now my eyes are like a panda's, that's why..."

  Zhang Ziheng's words amused everyone, and they secretly thought that this young man was really interesting. Only Wang Xue didn't laugh, she had been observing Zhang Ziheng all along, feeling like she had seen him somewhere before, his voice also sounded familiar, but she just couldn't see what he looked like clearly.

  The chairman chuckled and said, "It's great that young people are serious about their work. You've really worked hard for this project. It doesn't matter, we're not in a beauty pageant here, nobody cares, put your hand down."

  Alas, it seems like I really can't avoid it. Zhang Ziheng's heart had turned cold, there was no way out, so he could only put his hands down as well.

  As soon as Wang Xue saw Zhang Ziheng's face, she was stunned. She would never forget this face in her life. This face was the one she had been searching for over two months, and it really was a case of "treading on iron shoes without finding anything", but now it had come to her effortlessly.

  "My design concept is to highlight the refreshing and cool feeling. Since we are doing a beverage advertisement, and it's summer now, I used blue and white colors that give people a refreshing feeling at first glance. In terms of character design, I put together some international pop stars and Chinese pop stars, which not only looks good but also attracts the attention of the masses." Zhang Ziheng explained clearly.

  Zhang Ziheng knew he couldn't stay in the company anymore, so he might as well leave his design behind. Before leaving, he also made a contribution to the company. Putting down the design drawings, Zhang Ziheng looked at Wang Xue sitting in front of him with a calm expression, as if saying "you can now drive me away".

  The chairman took Zhang Ziheng's design drawing and looked at it, then discussed with Xu and Gao, smiling: "The idea is not bad, but if we do it this way, the advertising budget will be exceeded. The investors may not agree to it. Have you thought about this problem?"

  "I've also thought about this issue, actually in the shooting of advertisements, we can find domestic filming teams. I have studied it and currently some of our country's advertising filming teams are completely capable of producing good commercials. This way not only can reduce budget but also create a brand for our domestic filming. And the biggest budget is on celebrities, of course this project has certain risks, however I dare to guarantee that the benefits will definitely be greater than the drawbacks." Zhang Ziheng said.

  The chairman nodded and said, "What I'm worried about is this issue, and after all, we're not the investors, so we must consider others. However, don't be discouraged, kid, if we just look at it from a design perspective, your idea is quite good, you'll definitely have another chance next time."

  "But the investors are big foreign companies, they shouldn't care about that, as long as we do a good job, we can still make a profit." Zhang Ziheng said hastily.

  "Even the largest companies do business with thorough preparation, but now only you say that this design will make a profit, and no one else dares to guarantee it. So how can you convince investors just by your words? Don't forget, you're still a newcomer and don't have enough authority for others to believe in you."

  His design was rejected, and Zhang Ziheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he soon accepted the fact that he couldn't do anything about it anyway, so there was no need to care about those things anymore.

  "So, Chairman, which plan have you decided on?" Xu asked.

  "This is it, I think there are two plans that are not bad. Little Xu, you and Gao Yang discuss it together, find one that you both think is good, and do it according to that plan. Actually, my main purpose today is to listen and give opinions, not to make the final summary. By the way, Little Gao, I think this project can let Wang Xue participate, can't it?" The chairman said with a smile.

  "Of course, Chairman."

  "That's all for today, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first," said the chairman as he stood up and bid farewell to everyone before leaving the conference room. The others also packed up their things and left one by one.

  Back in the design department, Zhang Ziheng felt his whole body was weak, as if he had just fought a battle, and slumped into his chair, closing his eyes to rest. At this time, Ziwen walked over and smiled happily: "Don't be discouraged, Xu Zong said your design is very good when she came back earlier, she really likes it. For the first time doing design, you got such a great evaluation, you should be happy, don't hang your head in despair."

  Zhang Ziheng opened his eyes and looked at her, smiling and nodding: "I know, I'm not discouraged, just a bit tired."

  "Oh, right, I forgot you didn't sleep all night yesterday. You go rest first then, I'll get busy."

  Actually, Zhang Ziheng wasn't in a bad mood because his design was rejected, but because he's about to leave the company soon. That Wang Xue will definitely not let him off and will take revenge. He just found a job a few months ago and now he's going to be unemployed again, which is a huge blow to Zhang Ziheng. The biggest blow is that he won't be able to see President Xu again in the future, which makes his heart feel somewhat lost.

  But there was one thing that Zhang Ziheng couldn't understand. When Wang Xue saw him, she had obviously recognized him already. So why did she remain so calm in the conference room earlier and not say a word? Was it because her father was present and she didn't want to make him lose face?

  Zhang Ziheng only guessed half of it, Wang Xue indeed didn't want to embarrass her father in a crowded place. But the main purpose was that she wanted to use an even more ruthless method to deal with Zhang Ziheng. Letting herself lose face twice in front of everyone would be too great a blow for a girl, and Wang Xue happened to be a girl with a more straightforward personality, so she definitely wouldn't let Zhang Ziheng off easily.

  At the meeting, Wang Xue was thinking about how to make Zhang Ziheng lose face and dignity, best of all, let him fall from grace and never be able to hold his head up again. So if it were just a matter of making him lose his job, it would not be enough to vent her hatred. It wasn't until she heard Zhang Ziheng's design that she thought of a way to get revenge. For a girl, she was ruthless enough.

  At this time, Zhang Ziheng had no idea that he was already in someone else's trap. He was now packing his things and preparing to leave at any moment. Looking at Ziwen who was busy not far away, and other colleagues, Zhang Ziheng really felt a little reluctant in his heart. Although he had only worked here for more than two months, he had developed feelings for Feiyu and the people here, so it was natural that he would feel nostalgic when leaving.

  What's meant to happen will happen. An hour later, the planning department called and asked Zhang Ziheng to go over. He knew he had to leave.
