Chapter 210 Of course, it's me
"Alright, alright, stop laughing—let's start the meeting!"
The female minister who had just spoken saw that Lin Ruoxue was too embarrassed to contain herself, and thus, she intervened to save her from further embarrassment.
It was then that the crowd curbed their laughter, adopting a somewhat serious demeanor.
Lin Ruoxue sent a glance of gratitude toward the female minister and then composed herself, beginning the meeting's agenda for the day.
But a slight blush still lingered on her fair cheeks...
"Today, we primarily need to discuss the succession of the new Public Relations Director. Everyone's opinions are welcome."
In work mode, Lin Ruoxue was a completely different person from the somewhat girlish figure she was moments before, her gestures exuding an aura of authority that commanded solemnity from the attendees.
Although Lin Ruoxue held the ultimate decision-making power regarding personnel appointments, under normal circumstances she would seek the opinions of various parties, and she also respected the views of these middle and senior leaders.
As soon as Lin Ruoxue finished speaking, someone stood up:
"Director Lin, I believe that for the position of Public Relations Director, no one is more suited than the current Deputy Director, Niu Xuewen. He has worked diligently in the department for many years and has always been hardworking and complaint-free."
Hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, Director Lin. Not to mention Niu's numerous contributions to the company over the years, just on the basic criteria of capability and experience, he is the best candidate."
Another minister added in agreement.
"Right, Niu Xuewen is good."
"I think he's fit for the job!"
"Indeed, Niu Xuewen undoubtedly deserves to succeed as the Director."
...
Before long, almost everyone had expressed their stance, which was that no one other than Niu Xuewen was fit for the position of Public Relations Director.
Watching this scene unfold, Lin Chao's lips gradually curled into a smile laced with profound meaning.
The Marketing Department was nearly in hand. If he managed to secure the Public Relations Department, and then two or three more departments, he would have the capacity to wrestle with Lin Ruoxue.
At this thought, Lin Chao's eyes inevitably drifted to the woman sitting opposite him, Xia Qiuru. If he could win her over, he would indeed be adding wings to a tiger.
But just then, a somewhat casual, somewhat lazy voice rang out.
"Wait a minute, I have another candidate."
When Lin Ruoxue heard this voice, a layer of frost appeared on her face. She thought this guy had finally settled down a bit today, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he showed up again.
The others were initially startled, then quickly grew angry.
What right does a little driver have to speak out of turn at such an occasion? Even if you are in a relationship with Lin Ruoxue, you should still know your place, right?!
During the last meeting, his public smoking had already dissatisfied everyone, but since Lin Ruoxue hadn't said anything, they all refrained from objecting.
But today was too much—this was a discussion about an important appointment within the group!
However, upon hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Chao's heart sank with a thud, and a bad premonition welled up inside him.
"Su Chen, we are in a meeting, don't speak out of turn," Lin Ruoxue shot him a warning glance with her beautiful eyes.
However, Su Chen appeared to be indifferent, with his hands in his pockets he said:
"Didn't you just ask if there were any other candidates? Why can't I speak if I have another candidate?"
Upon hearing his words, the rest of the group felt he was being deliberately provocative. The General Manager had indeed asked—but she asked us, the leaders, not you, a little driver.
This guy is really taking himself too seriously!
Lin Ruoxue knew that this guy had a stubborn nature and if she got entangled with him, there was no telling when it would end.
So she asked him perfunctorily:
"So tell me, who is your other candidate?"
The others also looked at him with contempt, as if to say, let's see what kind of candidate you can come up with!
Do you know the Belle Group better than any of us?
Amidst everyone's gaze, Su Chen casually pointed to himself and said:
"Of course, the candidate I'm talking about is none other than myself."
Upon hearing his words, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.
You? A small driver? You actually want to be the Head of the Public Relations Department? Are you sure you're not joking?
