According to the notice from the headquarters, Octavia went to Shanghai on the afternoon of the 10th to attend the year-end work report of each division CEO.
He deliberately changed people and was the first one to go up and give the work report.
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, he finished his work report, quickly packed up his things, said a few words to Xiao Cheng who came with him, got up and left the venue.
As soon as he left the venue, the chairman's secretary stopped him, "Mr. Ming, don't leave yet. Director Fei just returned to the office after listening to your work report. He asked me to tell you that he wants to talk to you alone."
Octavia looked at his watch and said, "Let's go."
He had already predicted what Fei Dong wanted to talk to him.
As soon as they sat down, Director Fei fully affirmed his work over the past year and raised some expectations. Octavia followed his words and expressed his gratitude and said he would do his best.
He knows that these are all introductions, and the important point lies behind.
Sure enough, Director Fei started to get to the point:
"Octavia, the board of directors has proposed again that it wants to transfer you back to the headquarters and entrust you with important tasks. What do you think?"
Octavia said without changing his expression, "Director Fei, I'm very grateful to the board of directors for considering me highly, but I'm sorry, my decision remains unchanged. I will stick to the Northwest Division."
Director Fei was not surprised at all. He had expected that he would say this, so he followed his words and said:
"That's right. Now that you are getting married, it is even less likely that you will work in Shanghai. Oh, I forgot, I wish you a happy wedding. When you got married, I was on a business trip abroad. I regret that I didn't go to your wedding."
Octavia chuckled and joked:
"Director Fei, it's okay. Your red envelope is thicker than others. Even though you didn't go, you still overshadowed the rest of the company."
Fei Dong laughed and said, "Hahaha, you still know how to talk. I like to listen. Everyone who went there said that the bride is very beautiful. You are lucky."
"It's quite beautiful. Thank you, Director Fei, for the compliment."
"Hahaha, the old saying is true, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty."
"Mr. Fei, let's talk to each other."
"You kid, you dare to talk to me like this. I just like you like this. I won't beat around the bush, it's like this, the northwest division was built by you. If you don't want to go back to the headquarters, then don't go back. I respect your opinion, but for the sake of long-term development, the board of directors wants to move the northwest division headquarters to Pingcheng. I will give you a heads up in advance so you can make plans in advance."
Octavia's face turned solemn, "Director Fei, what if I don't agree?"
Director Fei hesitated for a moment and told him that this was a decision made by the board of directors and that even he could not influence it.
He said that the board of directors considered that Acropolis is not the provincial capital city after all, and its influence and popularity are indeed not as good as Pingcheng. Considering the company's long-term interests, it would be better to move the northwest division's headquarters to Pingcheng, and asked him to obey the board of directors' decision.
This decision came suddenly, and Octavia knew that he was in no position to confront the board of directors now.
After quickly weighing it in his mind, he said calmly:
"Director Fei, the company's senior management should consider the company's long-term development. I agree with your statement. I reserve the right to say no, regardless of whether it is useful or not. So, please first send me a feasibility report on Pingcheng development. , I will report accordingly and make next plans."
As soon as these words came out, Mingrui quickly caught the hesitation flashing in Fei Dong's eyes. Seeing that he didn't reply immediately, he took the opportunity to test:
"What? For such an important decision, doesn't it even have a feasibility report?"
Fei Dong's expression did not change, he smiled easily and said:
"How could it not be possible? I was too busy to read it. I will ask my secretary to send it to you within three days."
Octavia nodded and smiled with an unknown meaning:
"I also think it is impossible. Such an important decision cannot be made by the board of directors out of thin air. The feasibility report is the most basic basis. If it is not without it, then there will be labor expenses."
Director Fei pointed at Ming Rui and said with a smile:
"You kid, don't provoke me with your words. If not, I will reply to you within three days."
Mingrui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, Director Fei."
As he expected, there was something inside.
This decision deserves further investigation.
He picked up the tea that his secretary had just poured for him, drank it slowly, and took the opportunity to sit for a while to see if Director Fei had anything else to say.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Octavia put down the tea cup and prepared to stand up and leave.
At this moment, Fei Dong looked directly at him, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face, and said:
"Octavia, I heard that you won't attend tonight's high-level gathering? It's a rare gathering of CEOs from each division at the end of the year. In previous years, you attended all of them. This year is good. You just got married and you became unsociable. You should criticize, you can't do this. You must attend this party, my order!"
"Sorry, Director Fei, I..."
"I won't listen to any explanation. Even if I tie you up at today's party, I will tie you up. It's up to you!"
For a moment, Mingrui's eyes showed a look of embarrassment.
Director Fei had never seen him like this before, "What? Are you really facing something urgent? Tell me and let me listen. Maybe I can still help you."
Octavia quickly adjusted himself and raised the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, Director Fei, you said so. No matter how urgent the matter is, I can't live up to your kindness. I will attend the party tonight on time."
"now it's right."
After coming out of Director Fei's office, Octavia immediately made a call.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Yue received a call from Octavia.
He said that he had to stay in Shanghai tonight and could not return to Hangzhou, so he asked her to go to 2701 to spend one night with Xu Zhiyi.
"Zhiyi has been feeling unwell these days. I don't worry about her staying at home alone. With you by my side, I feel relieved. I will arrive in Hangzhou at noon tomorrow."
After the New Year's Day holiday, Huayue has been following up on the company's investment projects in Hangzhou.
The project had just started and there were too many things. She never had time to see Octavia and Xu Zhiyi, and she never thought that Xu Zhiyi was sick.
"What's wrong with Zhiyi? Have you seen a doctor?"
"Look, it's not a serious illness. It's just that it's slow to get better. I've suffered a lot. I'm getting better these days."
"When did you get sick?"
"She must have gotten sick early. She hid it and didn't tell me. I didn't know until the 3rd when it became serious enough that I had to see a doctor."
Hua Yue didn't ask any more questions and said cheerfully: "Okay, I will go directly to your house to accompany her after get off work. Don't worry about me being here."
The last time I saw Xu Zhiyi was at their wedding.
At that time, her complexion was rosy and her eyes were bright. When I saw her again after nearly 20 days, her face was pale and her eyes were worried.
Hua Yue was taken aback.
After listening to Mingrui's words, she roughly guessed what kind of disease Xu Zhiyi had.
It should be a common gynecological disease among newly married women who have no sexual experience.
It's really not a serious illness.
However, even if the disease healed slowly, it took seven or eight days from the 3rd to the 10th to almost heal.
Why does Xu Zhiyi's condition still look so bad?
It shouldn't be.
This is not just a matter of illness.
Something must have happened between them.
