Chapter 2: Is the newlywed husband the CEO?
Zhang Jianbing strode toward Zhu Ziqing, each step filled with anger.
His face flushed slightly with anger.
He walked up to Zhu Ziqing and almost roared, "Zhu Ziqing, what are you doing? Why are you so distracted?"
The sound was like a thunderclap, particularly jarring in the busy and noisy environment.
The surrounding colleagues seemed to have been put on pause, stopping what they were doing and looking over.
Their eyes held surprise, curiosity, and a hint of schadenfreude.
Zhang Jianbing frowned, his eyes wide like copper bells, his gaze full of dissatisfaction and reproach.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, as if they were about to jump out from under his skin.
He pointed to the documents in Zhu Ziqing's hand and said loudly, "This is the company's most important press conference this year. There is no room for error, understand?"
If these documents get messed up, can you afford the consequences?
Look what everyone else is busy with, and you're just standing there daydreaming. What kind of behavior is that!
Zhu Ziqing's face instantly turned bright red, as if it had been burned.
She felt the gazes of her colleagues around her like needles piercing her, and she lowered her head in shame, almost dropping the documents in her hands. Her voice trembled slightly as she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Manager Zhang, I'll be more careful."
Zhang Jianbing frowned deeply, the wrinkles between his brows deepening.
He was not appeased by Zhu Ziqing's apology; instead, he raised his voice even more angrily and emphasized again: "Not only will the CEO be attending this press conference, but many important partners and brands will also be present."
This relates to the company's development strategy this year, you know?
If anything goes wrong because of you, you can expect to be fired!
Zhu Ziqing lowered her head even further, feeling her eyes welling up with tears. She could only nod repeatedly, saying, "I understand."
But she knew in her heart that her mind was already in complete turmoil.
Tan Haoyu was like a mystery, constantly disturbing her thoughts, and she couldn't shake him off.
"Have you heard? The company has a new CEO! He'll be holding the press conference!"
The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all departments.
Manager Wang from the marketing department was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, locking himself in his office and making phone calls non-stop.
"Hey, Mr. Li, have you heard anything about our new CEO?"
"No? Okay then, thank you."
With each phone call, Manager Wang frowned, his face full of helplessness, muttering, "What am I going to do? I have no clue what to do."
Sister Zhao from the finance department was frantically rummaging through piles of documents, fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
"How can there be no information at all?" she said anxiously as she flipped through the pages.
Neither internal documents nor inquiries could yield any clues about the new president.
The entire company seemed shrouded in a thick fog.
When employees get together, the conversation always inevitably revolves around the new president.
"Do you think the new CEO might be the kind of decisive and reform-minded person?" a young employee guessed excitedly.
"I think he might have been parachuted in from some big corporation. We need to be careful," a veteran employee replied worriedly.
In the conference room, Zhang Jianbing announced with a serious expression: "With the arrival of the new president, Zhu Ziqing, you will be responsible for staying by his side and assisting him in his work."
Zhu Ziqing looked astonished and asked instinctively, "Me? Manager, why me?"
Zhang Jianbing frowned, his tone firm: "You have excellent professional skills and are meticulous in your work. This task is most suitable for you. This is a work arrangement, there's nothing to discuss."
Hearing this, Ma Dongmei curled her lips into a malicious smile and said sarcastically, "Oh, Zhu Ziqing, you've really hit the jackpot!"
Who knows, this new CEO might be incredibly handsome! You'd better seize this opportunity; you might just rise to the top and become a phoenix!
Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly and glared at her with displeasure: "Ma Dongmei, don't talk nonsense. I'm just doing my job, it's not as complicated as you think. I'm not the kind of person who climbs up by clinging to others."
Finally, it's almost time for the press conference.
The moment the new president appeared, the entire company erupted in excitement.
The company was packed with people, and the employees were all craning their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the new president.
Surrounded by a group of people, Tan Haoyu walked slowly with steady and confident steps.
His appearance was like the rising sun, instantly making him the focus of the entire event.
He wore a well-tailored, high-end suit, every line of which perfectly accentuated his physique.
That exquisite face was like a work of art meticulously sculpted by God, noble and captivating.
Zhu Ziqing stood in the crowd, and the moment her gaze fell upon Tan Haoyu.
He was struck dumb, his eyes wide with shock.
Her lips trembled slightly, her heart felt like a thousand horses were galloping through her chest, and her mind was in complete chaos: "How could it be him?"
As for Tan Haoyu, his gaze was as cold as the winter wind, sweeping directly over Zhu Ziqing as if they were strangers, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.
She could hardly believe her eyes, muttering to herself, "My newlywed husband is the company's new CEO? What's going on?"
Tan Haoyu acted as if he didn't see her at all, his gaze sweeping past her with a coldness as icy as ice.
Zhu Ziqing felt her heart almost stop beating, as if she were in an absurd dream.
She couldn't help but pinch her arm hard, and the excruciating pain made her gasp.
This is not a dream!
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind: Could it just be that they look alike?
How could there be someone so similar in this world? And that familiar scent... it's clearly her newlywed husband!
Then came the press conference.
The venue was decorated in a magnificent and solemn manner.
The stage was surrounded by flowers, and the lights shone like stars.
Zhang Jianbing, along with Zhu Ziqing and others, stood solemnly at the entrance of the banquet hall to welcome the new president and his entourage.
Everyone was so nervous that their palms were sweating and they didn't dare to breathe.
The reception went very smoothly.
Tan Haoyu stood on the stage like a king in control of the entire situation.
His every glance was filled with authority, as if he could see through the thoughts of everyone in the audience.
Every movement exudes confidence, and every gesture reveals the demeanor of a leader.
He answered reporters' questions with composure, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills.
Zhu Ziqing, sitting in the audience, held documents in her hand, ready to hand them to Tan Haoyu at the appropriate time.
However, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the documents teetered precariously in her grasp.
She kept telling herself, "Stay calm, stay calm, this is just work."
