Chapter 91: Beauty in the Ice Cellar

Damn it!

The requirements are too strict, too harsh!

In any other company, he would at most be demoted.

But President Jiang, on the other hand, fired him straight away!

Xiao Xinhao had grievances he couldn't voice.

He had originally hoped that Secretary Du Bingbing would put in a good word for him with President Jiang; after all, he had performed excellently and worked diligently for the company for three years, having both achievements and hard work to his credit.

Xiao Xinhao didn't expect to be promoted in the future; he just wanted to keep his current position as manager.

Damn it, and now look at this.

Just because he sent a file that was going to be delayed by half an hour, President Jiang told him to go process his resignation immediately.

That's ruthless!

Although he was indeed at fault, it shouldn't be this harsh!

President Jiang was the most ruthless boss Xiao Xinhao had ever met.

Xiao Xinhao didn't give up. After working overtime to fix the PPT, he still prepared to attend the Maritime Trade Summit the next day, hoping that President Jiang would show some human compassion, not fire him, and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

He had just bought a Mercedes-Benz; if he lost this job, how would he pay off his car loan of over twenty thousand a month!

"You... why are you here?" Secretary Du Bingbing saw Xiao Xinhao at the opening ceremony and quickly pulled him aside to stop him.

"I've already fixed the PPT. President Jiang can use it directly on stage tomorrow. There will definitely be no problems this time!" Xiao Xinhao promised, patting his chest.

He had reviewed it until the early hours of the morning and polished it all over again; the quality was definitely higher than the previous version.

"Manager Xiao, let it go... You know what President Jiang's temper is like. If she sees you, she will definitely scold you, and she won't give you any face at all." Secretary Du Bingbing tried hard to persuade him.

"Last night, President Jiang made a PPT all by herself and even called you a pig. Do you think, with this attitude, President Jiang will forgive you?"

Secretary Du Bingbing kindly advised Xiao Xinhao not to look for President Jiang again.

Xiao Xinhao sighed helplessly.

He had worked so hard and dedicatedly at Asia Shipping for four years, only to be fired because of a tiny mistake.

He felt so aggrieved!

Xiao Xinhao glanced at President Jiang from afar and finally walked out of the venue door.

Just as Xiao Xinhao walked out of the venue, he ran into President Zheng, who had come to attend the opening ceremony.

"Eh? Brother Xiao, the opening ceremony is about to start, why are you walking out?"

President Zheng asked curiously, looking at the dejected and very depressed Xiao Xinhao.

Yesterday he was still high-spirited and radiant, why did he seem like a different person today?

"Did something happen?"

Xiao Xinhao sighed helplessly and shook his head: "It's a long story! Don't laugh at me."

At this moment, Liu Shiqi walked over wearing a red dress.

"President Zheng, the Maritime Trade Summit is about to start, why aren't you going in? Where is President Chen?" Liu Shiqi asked eagerly.

President Zheng?

Xiao Xinhao was extremely surprised when he heard this form of address.

Why does this woman look so familiar?

Xiao Xinhao remembered, isn't this President Liu Shiqi from Zhongguang Fund?

When he was at Asia Shipping, Liu Shiqi had visited their company, and they had met once before.

Xiao Xinhao could be certain that this was indeed Liu Shiqi.

That's not right, didn't Zheng Qian say he was an intern at Zhengxin Shipyard?

But at the entrance of the venue, there were only the three of them; besides addressing President Zheng, who else could she be referring to?

"Pre...President Zheng?" Xiao Xinhao's mouth couldn't close, and his face was full of disbelief.

"President Chen is inside." Zheng Qian felt that since Liu Shiqi had taken the initiative to come over and greet him, it wouldn't be good to ignore her, so he replied casually.

"Let's go, Brother Xiao. Come in with me first, and I'll explain everything to you slowly later."

Zheng Qian pulled Xiao Xinhao along to attend the opening ceremony of the Maritime Trade Summit.

After meeting up with Chen Weiqiang, Chen Weiqiang was a bit surprised: "Who is this?"

"Oh, President Chen, this is my fellow townsman and also my college classmate. He is currently working as a business manager at Asia Shipping."

"I see, then let's sit together."

There were many seats in the venue, and it was basically not full. There were nameplates in front of everyone.

If there weren't any, those were interns or attendants like secretaries or assistants.

But on Zheng Qian's table, there were clearly two nameplates standing there.

[Vice President of Zhengxin Shipyard] [VIP Investor of Zhongguang Fund]

There was no need to think; this must have been Liu Shiqi's doing.

Xiao Xinhao was stunned when he saw these two signs.

In other words, Zheng Qian was both an entrepreneur and an investor?

Originally, when he first saw Zheng Qian, Xiao Xinhao felt no waves in his heart, but these two signs instantly elevated Zheng Qian's status by several levels.

Xiao Xinhao stared at Zheng Qian without blinking.

He never expected that Zheng Qian, who had been out of touch for three or four years, had actually carved out his own world after graduation.

Even though he was still a business manager at Asia Shipping, he was just a wage earner with an annual salary of 1.2 million, just a member of the middle class.

But Zheng Qian had long since broken through his social class and become a capitalist, earning income just by lying down every day, without needing to be as terrified and servile as he was just to keep his job.

Yesterday, he had still looked at Zheng Qian with very disdainful eyes.

Xiao Xinhao had even specifically offered to take Zheng Qian back to his hotel to show off that he had bought a Mercedes-Benz.

In reality, Xiao Xinhao looked glamorous on the surface, but in fact, at Asia Shipping, he was just a dog under President Jiang.

Furthermore, Xiao Xinhao had specifically bragged in front of Zheng Qian about his current annual salary of one million, encouraging him to work hard so he could also reach his level.

He didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it.

Someone so much more impressive than him didn't put on airs, yet he, a mere business manager, had been boasting and putting on airs in front of him.

Xiao Xinhao suddenly felt that Zheng Qian was not only higher in status and position than him.

But even his magnanimity and perspective were several levels higher than his.

After the opening ceremony, Xiao Xinhao found an opportunity to tell Zheng Qian truthfully about his current situation.

"Is that President Jiang you mentioned someone with long hair, who is as cold as an ice cellar?" Zheng Qian asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's her! Do you know her?"

"There is some connection, but I don't know her." Zheng Qian was too embarrassed to mention that he had almost been hit by her car.

President Jiang had slapped down twenty thousand yuan trying to dismiss him; how embarrassing would it be to talk about that.

"Sigh... President Jiang is really hard to evaluate."

Xiao Xinhao had just left Asia Shipping, and he was already bad-mouthing Asia Shipping.

"It just so happens that President Chen from our company is also here."

"Brother Xiao, if you are willing, you could lower yourself to come to Zhengxin Shipyard to work for me and President Chen."

Zheng Qian didn't say to work for him, but included Chen Weiqiang, so it wouldn't sound so condescending.

Immediately after, Zheng Qian began to introduce Chen Weiqiang to Xiao Xinhao.
