Chapter 182: Cliffhanger
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An wanted to set up the company as soon as possible, but she knew that she was inexperienced. Hence, she specially got Jiang Hai to hire capable personnel.
Jiang Hai directly sent the HR manager of the Jiang Group’s headquarters and an experienced professional to a.s.sist.
Due to the guidance of professionals, Jiang An’s recruitment process was quite smooth. The recruitment time was only five days. On the last day, Jiang An took the effort to invite the two of them to have dinner together.
Although the other party had come to help her because of her ident.i.ty and her father’s instructions, she couldn’t take it for granted. She still had to keep up with the ways of the world.
“Aiyo, Miss Jiang, you’re too polite. We’re just helping the boss share his burden. This is our duty.” The HR manager was a little flattered and refused repeatedly.
Jiang An packed her bag and smiled. “Don’t reject me. It’s just a meal. I’ve delayed a lot of your work these past few days. Let’s go.”
Jiang An had been by Li Mei and Jiang Hai’s side for almost a year, so she had more or less become a little determined. Seeing this, the HR manager and commissioner couldn’t refuse anymore. “Thank you, Miss Jiang.”
Every day when Jiang An returned home, she would pa.s.s by the Southeast Asian specialty restaurant beside the building opposite. She had long wanted to try it. She could try it today.
The three of them had just walked to the sidewalk opposite when Jiang An saw five people walking out of the entrance of the building not far away.
Seeing an old acquaintance again, Jiang An was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have said that his company was opposite Longxing Building. Jiang An turned to look at Longxing and then at the office building called ZL Corporation. She realized that other than the two doors that were slightly off, it was really right opposite.
Just as Jiang An was hesitating if she should greet him, Zou Bai had already walked towards Jiang An. “Miss Jiang, what a coincidence.”
Jiang An smiled and replied, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Zou. It’s quite a coincidence. The office our company rented is opposite you.”
A faint smile appeared on Zou Bai’s lips. “No wonder I can see Miss Jiang again. 1 previously said that I would treat you to a meal. 1 wonder if I’ll have the honor today.”
Jiang An revealed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Zou. I happen to be treating my employees to a meal today.”
Zou Bai’s gaze turned to the two people behind Jiang An. His peach blossom eyes, which should have been affectionate, were devoid of any tenderness at this moment. His emotionless eyes made the HR manager’s heart pound.
Zou Bai asked indifferently, “Miss Jiang’s employees are these two, right? Do you want to go together?”
The HR manager’s brain, which had stopped working, suddenly lit up. He suddenly remembered who the Buddha in front of him was. He hurriedly slapped his head and said to Jiang An, “Oh no! Miss Jiang, I suddenly remembered that the company has a proposal that 1 have to submit today. The two of us have to go back and work overtime now!”
Jiang An was stunned. “Huh? So sudden?”
The HR manager looked anxious. “1 remembered that 1 had to go back to the company after work beforehand, but I was busy in the afternoon and forgot. I’m really sorry. We have to rush back to the company now.”
The HR manager glanced at his subordinate. The HR commissioner immediately came back to his senses and said cooperatively, “Yes, yes, yes! Fortunately, manager, you remembered this. Otherwise, we would have to improvise during the meeting tomorrow.”
Seeing that the anxious expressions of the two of them did not seem to be fake, Jiang An hurriedly replied, “Then go ahead and do your work. I’ll thank you another day.”
The HR manager smiled and said goodbye. “Miss Jiang, we’ll take our leave first. I hope you can enjoy the delicacies of Southeast Asia today.”
Jiang An also smiled and nodded in response. Seeing this, the HR manager pulled his subordinate and hurriedly hailed a taxi.
After the car started, the HR manager heaved a long sigh of relief. The HR commissioner looked at the outstanding man through the rearview mirror of the car and took a deep breath. “This is the first time 1 realized that peach blossom eyes can be unattractive. 1 was scared to death just now.”
The HR manager replied casually, “Not only is it not seductive, but it can also be fatal.”
When the professional heard this, he asked curiously, “Manager, do you know that man?”
The HR manager’s expression froze. He thought of Zou Bai’s usual cold and low-key personality. If he hadn’t climbed to his current position and occasionally went to some big events with President Jiang, it would have been difficult for him to guess that the 31-year-old man in front of him was the head of the business world in the country. “I don’t have the face to get to know him. Remember to take a detour the next time you see him. He’s not someone we can offend casually..”
