After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

After filling out the forms, people from the company gradually arrived.

Lin Jing personally led her to her workplace.

Tang Xia's design department is located on the seventeenth floor of the building.

As soon as they entered, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at them.

They might not know the company's senior management, but everyone would recognize Lin Jing, who was standing next to Jin Xinghan.

The normal procedure is for the HRBP to bring the new employee onboarding, but now the president's assistant is coming down in person, so this person must be extraordinary.

Tang Xia had no idea that she had been labeled as having "connections" as soon as she entered the company. She was only hoping that she could perform at her best and be recognized by others.

Lin Jing led her into one of the offices.

On the chair, a middle-aged man with a balding head was on the phone. He was somewhat displeased when Lin Jing came in without knocking, but he didn't say anything because of her status.

He quickly hung up the phone and stood up.

"Secretary Lin, what brings you here, you busy person?"

Lin Jing frowned: "Where's President Shen? I remember this is the director's office, what are you, a vice president, doing here?"

The bald man smiled obsequiously and said, "Secretary Lin, the way you're saying it makes it sound like I'm usurping the position. President Shen went on a business trip last week and asked me to temporarily take over her job. I was thinking that many of my documents and files are in President Shen's office, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth to get them, so I'll just work here."

Lin Jing looked at the office floor littered with cigarette butts and the strange, indescribable smell in the air, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat the person in front of her to a pulp.

"The company has its own rules and regulations. What you're doing is occupying someone else's office without permission. If any important documents are lost, will it be your responsibility or Mr. Shen's?"

The bald man quickly slid to his knees: "Secretary Lin, what you said is a bit too harsh. I've only been here for an hour. There are surveillance cameras outside. I definitely didn't take anything out. I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now!"

"Wait a minute." Although Lin Jing was reluctant, since Shen Xin wasn't there, he really was the boss of the design department: "Let me introduce you. This is Tang Xia, a new member of the design department, in charge of the S University Library project."

The bald man then turned his attention to Tang Xia, who had remained silent.

He adjusted his glasses and said, "I've heard that Miss Tang's design drafts received high praise from the client. With such talent joining our design department, things will definitely get better and better!"

Tang Xia's facial expression was somewhat stiff, and she forced a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you flatter me."

“No, no, not at all.” Mr. Zhang walked to the door, looked around for a while, and then turned to the two of them and said, “Old Liang hasn’t arrived yet. He is the person in charge of this project. When he arrives, I will introduce you to each other.”

Lin Jing wasn't quite sure what the design department's process was like, but after hearing what he said, she could only nod.

At this moment, Tang Xia whispered to her, "Secretary Lin, you can go back now. You don't need to wait here with me. I can manage."

It's really inappropriate for Lin Jing, as the president's secretary, to stay in the design department all the time.

"Okay then, add me on WeChat. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"okay."

Mr. Zhang was an extremely tactful person and kept a close eye on the two's movements.

However, he is still unsure whether it was Lin Jing who recommended Tang Xia, or the person behind Lin Jing.

This also determines how he should treat this newcomer.

After Lin Jing left, General Manager Zhang took Tang Xia back to his office.

Before going in, Tang Xia noticed that the character "副" (deputy) seemed to have been torn off.

Based on the conversation we just had, it seems he has quite a lot of ambition.

"Your name is Tang Xia, right? I heard you also graduated from S University. Tell me, did you ask your alma mater for help with this bidding process?"

"Mr. Zhang, I don't understand what you mean." Tang Xia tried her best to remain calm.

"There are only the two of us here, so it's fine to talk. Although the library project is a small project for Huanyu, the higher-ups attach great importance to it, so we dare not slack off. However, we haven't been able to deliver a satisfactory answer. Even our boss, Liang, had his draft rejected. He is a senior member of the Royal Institute of American Architects. If you were just an undergraduate graduate, how could you have passed it on the first try if you didn't have the connection of being an alumnus of S University?"

The implication is that Tang Xia got in through connections.

But she felt that such suspicions and speculations were simply absurd.

“Mr. Zhang, this bidding process is online, and my design draft is not signed with my own name. Moreover, I am just a very insignificant one among so many graduates of S University.”

Mr. Zhang is not an architectural design professional, so he doesn't know much about these things.

However, being refuted by a newcomer did make him lose face.

"Okay, okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you making such a big reaction?"

Tang Xia was about to retort.

Suddenly, General Manager Zhang shouted to the people passing by outside the door, "Old Liang! Come in and see your new recruit. He's got quite a temper. I think you're in for a tough time with this project."

Tang Xia was utterly speechless.

A few seconds later, a tall but somewhat thin man walked in.

He looked somewhat unkempt, with a beard, shoulder-length hair that was casually draped over his shoulders, thick-rimmed black glasses, and a somewhat gloomy expression.

The man first glanced at Tang Xia, then looked at President Zhang, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm going to have a smoke first. Tell them to wait in my office."

There was no response to his recent comments about Tang Xia.

Mr. Zhang knew his temperament and waved his hand at him: "Okay, go ahead."

After everyone left, he sighed deeply again: "Young lady, the construction industry isn't easy to navigate. You have a long way to go, and I will be your guide on this path, understand?"

As Mr. Zhang spoke, he actually tried to put his hand on Tang Xia's shoulder!

Tang Xia recoiled as if she had encountered something disgusting.

Mr. Zhang's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't push your luck! Do you know what the consequences are for offending me? The fact that I've taken a liking to you is your good fortune!"

Tang Xia sneered: "Such good fortune should be kept by President Zhang himself. There's no need for you to personally lead the way; I can go by myself."

After saying that, she immediately turned and left.

She felt nauseous if she spent even a second longer with this man.

It wasn't until she had walked briskly for more than ten meters that she realized she didn't know where the designer surnamed Liang's office was.

At this moment, the document that Jin Xinghan had given her finally came in handy.

She found her colleagues in the crowd.

She walked over and greeted the other person: "Hello, could you please take me to Professor Liang's office?"

I thought her opening remarks were polite enough.

Unexpectedly, when the other person turned around and saw her, their gaze was filled with intense hostility, and their tone was full of malicious mockery: "You went through the back door, why didn't you go directly to Engineer Liang's office?"
