The CEO's Knight in Shining Armor-Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Gao Min’s Attack
“Who is the she-devil?”Su Chen asked.
Zhang You looked around and said in a low voice, “The vice-chairman of Zhou Catering Group is called Gao Renhuai. His sister is Gao Min!”
Gao Min?
Su Chen had never heard of this name.
“In the past, Zhou was the head secretary and Gao Min was the deputy head secretary,” Zhang You continued.
“Now, Zhou Wanqiu is the CEO of the company. Gao Min took over as the head secretary. She can be considered our direct leader.”
Su Chen nodded.
“Su Chen, you’re new, so you don’t know about this,” Zhang You said in a low voice. “When Wanqiu was working in our office, Gao Min never liked her.”
“Later, the old chairman abdicated, and Zhou Pingjiang was promoted from CEO to chairman. Therefore, the two of them fought for the position of president with the support of the chairman and Vice Chairman Gao Min!”
“In the end, Wanqiu won the position of CEO with the Hao Bin Food Street project.”
“Gao Min could only take Wanqiu’s previous position as the head secretary.”
Zhang You was great at this. He explained the entire situation in a few sentences.
Su Chen immediately understood.
Gao Min had lost the fight for power to Zhou Wanqiu.
He was contemplating this when he heard footsteps.
A woman of medium build appeared at the door.
Her expression was gloomy and her lips were tight. She looked a little mean.
From her appearance, one could tell that she was eager to gain success and benefits. She also looked vicious and vengeful.
“This is Gao Min…” Zhang You said in a low voice.
Seeing Gao Min, the few honest employees quickly stood up.
All of them scrambled to bow and say, “Hello, Secretary Gao!”
Gao Min snorted and nodded.
Although Zhang You and the others were a little afraid of her, they were not this terrified.
They just sat at their desks with their heads lowered and did not say a word.
Gao Min came in and looked around. She shouted in a shrill voice, “Why didn’t Tian Yong come?”
“Secretary Gao, Tian Yong is injured. He took a leave of absence!” Zhang You quickly said.
“Leave? Hmph!” Gao Min smiled coldly. “Why didn’t he report his leave to me? I’ll deduct three days’ worth of his salary!”
Zhang You pursed his lips and muttered, “So be it! We can’t live on our salary alone anyway!”
“What was that? Zhang You, say that again.” Gao Min raised her voice.
Zhang You smiled awkwardly and said, “I said, well done! You’re impartial and fair, Secretary Gao!”
“Hmph!” Gao Min snorted coldly and continued to look around.
She happened to see Su Chen in the corner.
“Who are you?” Gao Min asked.
Su Chen looked up at her and said indifferently, “My name is Su Chen. I’m Zhou Wanqiu’s secretary!”
“Stand up when you talk to me!” Gao Min berated.
Su Chen’s eyes turned cold.
At this moment, a cold shout sounded.
“Gao Min, you’re not in charge of my secretary!”
Everyone turned around and saw Zhou Wanqiu striding over.
She had a beautiful appearance and an imposing aura, like a queen patrolling her territory.
“Hello, CEO Zhou!”
The few honest employees quickly greeted Zhou Wanqiu.
Even Zhang You, Liu Pan, and the others did the same.
At this moment…
Gao Min looked very embarrassed.
Gao Min looked at Zhou Wanqiu coldly, and her expression was dark. “Zhou Wanqiu, this secretary is under my department. Everyone here is my subordinate!”
“I’m sorry! My people only belong to me!”
Zhou Wanqiu retorted on the spot. Su Chen suddenly understood why Zhang You and the others were so loyal to Zhou Wanqiu.
This woman was really domineering when she was protecting her own people. No wonder she was popular!
Zhou Wanqiu turned around and ordered Su Chen coldly, “Su Chen, prepare your laptop and come to a meeting with me!”
When she spoke to Su Chen, Zhou Wanqiu’s expression mirrored the one she had this morning.
Su Chen sighed internally.
‘Alright then!’ Zhou Wanqiu was still being temperamental!
Su Chen grabbed his laptop and left with Zhou Wanqiu.
Snap!
Gao Min was so angry that she broke the pen she was holding in half.
“Zhou Wanqiu!”
Gao Min gritted her teeth, then turned around and walked towards the company’s meeting room.
There was a conference today. Zhou Wanqiu heeded Zhou Rongchang’s instructions this morning and brought Su Chen along.
She didn’t care if Su Chen would learn anything.
At least, she had something to report to her grandfather.
It was Su Chen’s first time attending a company meeting like this, so he was curious. Zhou Wanqiu sat in the main seat of the conference room.
Su Chen got to see another side of Zhou Wanqiu.
During the meeting, Zhou Wanqiu was wise, decisive, and swift.
She quickly gave solutions to many of the problems that the subordinate departments talked about.
She could easily find out what was wrong the plan submitted by the subordinate departments.
with They settled the items on the agenda one after another.
The meeting went smoothly.
Su Chen nodded.
Zhou Wanqiu’s work was very different from her personal life.
Her talent in business was no weaker than her natural beauty.
‘Some people have it all,’ Su Chen thought with a smile.
At the meeting table…
Gao Min’s face was gloomy. She looked at Zhou Wanqiu’s bold and vigorous movements and cursed her internally.
“You can be proud now, b*tch! Just wait. Later, you won’t be able to laugh anymore!” At the end of the meeting, Zhou Wanqiu scanned the room. “Is there anything else?”
At this moment… “Yes!” Gao Min shouted.
Zhou Wanqiu was stunned and frowned. “Secretary Gao, what’s the matter?”
“CEO Zhou, when you were working on the Hao Bin Food Street project, you took a loan from the Bin Cheng Bank. Now that the loan department of Bin Cheng Bank is here to collect the debt, shouldn’t you say something?”
“Bin Cheng Bank?” Zhou Wanqiu frowned. “When did this happen? Why didn’t I know about this?”
Gao Min snorted coldly. “How should I know?
What are you busying yourself with every day, CEO Zhou?”
“Zhou Catering Group is in arrears because of the bank loan. If this gets out, our reputation will be affected!”
Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes turned cold.
It was normal for companies to borrow money from banks.
Even if the company’s funds were not tight, it might still borrow from the bank in order to expand its scale and seize the market. Every cent of a large corporation was used to continue making money.
The bank was also willing to lend to high-quality enterprises. Both parties would agree on a repayment date. Even if there was an unexpected delay, they could also apply for an extension separately and take extra care of it.
Zhou Wanqiu was prepared to repay this loan. However, another project was short of funds, so Zhou Wanqiu had transferred the repayment to that side.
She had already informed the Bin Cheng Bank about this matter and conveyed that she wanted to apply for an extension. Why was the bank suddenly urging her to pay the debt now?
Zhou Wanqiu looked at Gao Min and said coldly, “Where did you put the debt collection notice from Bin Cheng Bank?”
Gao Min smiled. “What do you mean where did I put it?”
“CEO Zhou, you have your own secretary, Su Chen. He should have the notice and report you’re looking for!”
Su Chen was stunned. Did it have something to do with him?
He had not seen any notice at all.
“Haha!”
Gao Min’s eyes narrowed. “CEO Zhou, you have to hurry up.”
“The list of people who failed to repay loans from Bin Cheng Bank will be publicized tomorrow. If you don’t settle it soon, it’ll be too late!” Zhou Wanqiu’s expression turned sour.
