Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 151 Go tell her to go home and leave work.

The old man sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze towards Lin Xi quite complex.

“Mingxuan once knelt where you are kneeling now, just to admit his mistake, to say that he was wrong, and to hope that I would give him a chance.”

“I said, Xiao Xi has to give you a chance, my chance doesn’t count.”

Tears soaked into the carpet as Lin Xi cried, "Grandpa, I used to like Duan Mingxuan, but I don't like him anymore. I can't be with him."

"You see, you used to like it, but you don't anymore," the old man said. "What you like now, you may not like in the future."

Lin Xi knew he was referring to Duan Yiheng. She shook her head and said, "I don't know if I'll like him in the future. I only know that I can never be with Duan Mingxuan in this lifetime."

The old man sighed: "Get up."

"Grandpa." Lin Xi looked up at the old man. "I accept any arrangement, whether it's being transferred to another post, moving to Tiandu Yuxi, or even leaving Yinfan Technology and getting away from my elder brother. I accept it all. Please, don't force me."

"It's not like I'm going to make you leave Yinfan Technology." The old man personally helped her up. "The new Xu Yu is quite capable. You should learn from her and observe her more. Yi Heng will be taking over the group in the future, and Yinfan Technology will need someone you can trust. If you do well, you can go to the sales department and climb up the ladder step by step. Xu Yu will take good care of you."

Lin Xi felt a chill run down her spine. Was Xu Yu one of her grandfather's people?

Is that what he meant? Essentially, he's someone in the company "monitoring" her and Duan Yiheng.

This is terrifying. She had always thought Xu Yu was Duan Yiheng's person.

"I promise you, you can make your own decisions about your relationship with Mingxuan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi wiped away her tears and thanked him in a hoarse voice.

Duan Mingxuan stood outside the door and walked away dejectedly.

Before he even reached his room, Duan Zheng blocked his way: "Didn't I tell you to coax Xiao Xi properly? What kind of attitude is this?"

Duan Mingxuan shook his head: "She doesn't like me."

Duan Zheng: "So you have to coax her, and you also need to control your temper."

“It’s no use. She went to beg Grandpa, and he said that she should decide for herself what’s going on between her and me.” Duan Mingxuan pushed Duan Zheng away and rushed into the room.

"Make your own decisions?" Duan Zheng narrowed his eyes.

The child has grown up and is now independent.

The more obedient a child is as a child, the more rebellious they will be as an adult.

Some things, then, don't need to be discussed.

Xu Yu is indeed very capable; within a week of joining the company, she successfully won over everyone in the department.

Chang Mingyuan's resignation procedures had already been completed, and he was just waiting to hand over the reins to her.

Half a month later, the company received a project, which was naturally handed over to Xu Yu to handle. This was also her first demonstration of her abilities after joining Yinfan Technology.

In the conference room, Xu Yu was very confident. She nodded and said, "Please rest assured, President Duan, I am willing to make a solemn pledge."

Duan Yiheng: "I believe in you. Also, let Lin Xi gain some experience with you. She's still young, so please be patient with her."

Xu Yu looked at Lin Xi in surprise: "Isn't she your secretary?"

Duan Yiheng didn't shy away from the topic, saying, "She is very familiar with the personnel in each department and communicates efficiently. Secretaries aren't immune to project involvement; Qin Yang started out working for me in the same way."

Xu Yu understood that this meant cultivating trusted confidants.

Lin Xi was surprised by Duan Yiheng's decision. She stood up and bowed slightly to Xu Yu: "I hope Director Xu will give me more guidance in the future."

"No need to be so polite." Xu Yu chuckled. "I'll ask Team Leader Li to introduce this project to you."

Lin Xi nodded.

Team Leader Li, whose given name is Ke, is unmarried, tall and burly, gentle and diligent, and only three years older than Lin Xi.

He spoke at length for more than ten minutes, and Lin Xi learned that the project was a financial technology service project for a large enterprise, covering payment system upgrades, risk management module optimization, and intelligent investment advisory platform.

"Here are the project documents. Take a look at them first." Li Ke handed her the project files. "We have a project group. Please join it later."

Lin Xi nodded: "Okay."

Xu Yu said to Lin Xi, "I'll have someone send you the tasks that are needed at the beginning of the project to your email."

Lin Xi replied, "Okay."

After leaving the conference room, Lin Xi followed Duan Yiheng upstairs.

She wanted to express her gratitude, and was about to speak at the door of the secretary's office when Qin Yang hurriedly walked over.

Duan Yiheng and Qin Yang went into the office, while Lin Xi went to her workstation and opened her email.

Xu Yu's task for her wasn't too demanding. Taking advantage of her current position, she asked her to outline the responsibilities and workflows of each department and create a preliminary communication plan.

Because she needs to ensure that information flows smoothly between departments, without any delays or misunderstandings caused by poor communication.

time is money.

Lin Xi's eyes lit up when she saw the words "report". She had thought she would only be doing some peripheral tasks.

"Market price range for similar projects..." Lin Xi opened his office software and began writing a proposal report, talking to himself.

As the sun sets, everyone who was supposed to eat has gone to eat, and after eating, they'll continue working overtime.

Duan Yiheng looked up from his desk and said to Qin Yang, "Go to the secretary's office and tell her to go home."

Qin Yang, being perceptive, went to the secretary's office and knocked on her door: "Secretary Lin, aren't you off work yet?"

Lin Xi smiled at him: "It's fine to go back. I have some things to do. Assistant Qin, you can go first."

Qin Yang glanced at Duan Yiheng in the office and said to Lin Xi, "What would you like to eat? I'll bring it up for you."

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry," Lin Xi said. "You go and eat first."

Qin Yang noticed Duan Yiheng's gaze, shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't persuade him.

Duan Yiheng waved to him.

Lin Xi was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even glance at the president's office until someone knocked on her desk, which made her look up from the monitor.

Duan Yiheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's time to get off work."

Lin Xi said "Oh," and then said, "You can go now."

Duan Yiheng: "It's eight o'clock, and you still haven't eaten."

Lin Xi: "I'll just grab a quick bite when I get back."

Duan Yiheng was silent for a moment, then glanced at her screen and said, "You've shifted your focus in the 'Risk Management Module Optimization' section."

Lin Xi asked instinctively, "Then what's the key point?"

This was her first time writing a project report like this, and she was really at a loss.

Duan Yiheng glanced at his watch and said, "Let's go eat first, and we'll talk again after we finish eating."

Since it was work-related, Lin Xi couldn't refuse, so she said, "Then I'll go buy it and bring it up to eat?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "Okay."

Lin Xi went straight to the cafeteria and got two meals.

Duan Yiheng took the opportunity to smoke a cigarette and casually answered a call from Mu Zhao.

After getting drunk last time, he kept inviting him out every few days, and finally, three days ago, he learned the truth about Duan Yiheng's loss of control.

Sure enough, having obtained firsthand information, they immediately came to complain.

"I went to Lanxi Club with my dad tonight, and guess who I ran into?"

Duan Yiheng frowned: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Mu Zhao: "Your dad said that Lin Xi and Duan Mingxuan's marriage has been arranged. What's going on?"

Duan Yiheng was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"I only overheard it," Mu Zhao said, backing down. "Don't blame me."

Duan Yiheng hung up the phone, and Lin Xi knocked on the door and entered.
