Chapter 197: Inferiority Complex
In the corridor, the three women occupied three directions, but Meng Zhuyao was closer to Su Jinlan.
If the gaze could be materialized, Meng Zhuyao even suspected that the two Su family ladies had already fought in the air with their eyes.
Su Jinlan was still protective in the end, and said coldly to Su Liluo: "This is all what my mother told you, right?" There is some misunderstanding in this, now Yaoyao is already our marketing manager, do you have any opinions to me, don't target her. β
Su Jinlan's girlfriend's powerful appearance made Meng Zhuyao simply moved, but this is not the time for sisterly love.
I thought that Su Liluo would be unceremoniously sarcastic, but I didn't expect Su Liluo to just laugh and pass: "What can I target her?" It's not who I'm talking to her. β
"......" Su Jinlan couldn't answer for a while, so she had to change the question: "What are you doing in the company?" Did your parents ask you to come? β
"I came on my own." Su Li fell directly, she flipped through the documents in her hand: "I heard from my mother that you have been very busy recently, and I have just returned to China and have nothing to do, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to see if I can come to the company to help you a little." β
Although this was said politely, Su Liluo's tone was not modest at all.
I'm afraid that coming to help is fake, and seizing power is real. After all, from the above name, Su Jinlan's current identity can only be regarded as an adopted daughter, and the one in front of her is her own daughter.
What's more, I heard that Su Liluo studied abroad and studied financial management at the world's top universities, although I don't know how her business ability is, but it still doesn't sound simple.
However, with Su Jinlan's character, she will never take the initiative to admit defeat. She nodded: "Okay, the company has a lot of projects during this time, and there is a shortage of people." If you really want to help, you might as well choose a project to follow up on, and if you are confident enough, I can also make you the project director. β
It seems that Su Jinlan is still reluctant to let go of the Su family. But this is also normal, in the past four or five years, Su Jinlan has spent almost all of her personal time on the Su Group, and now the glory of the Su Group was created by her, just like her own children, she is naturally reluctant.
"If you're willing to let me participate, then of course I can't ask for it." Su Liluo pulled out one of the business plans in the folder: "I just took a cursory look and thought that the prospects of this project are good, but I don't know if you are willing to let me do it?" β
Su Jinlan took over the project from her, and her face changed slightly.
This is exactly the advertising project that Sue is competing with Meng at the moment.
Thinking of Meng Yuzhou, Su Jinlan suddenly felt a little pantothenic acid in her heart, so she put away the documents: "I will be personally responsible for this project, and you can pick another one for the rest." β
In fact, Su Liluo had already guessed that this would be the answer, after all, this project is one of the most important projects of the company at the moment. But she also had a back hand for a long time: "So it seems that you plan to follow up personally?" That's fine. However, I learned about the background, our project is not the most likely to win in the advertising project of this Fengxing Group bidding, why don't I be responsible for it with you, so that I can see the means of our Su Zong? β
"......" Meng Zhuyao touched her nose a little embarrassed. This eldest lady is planning to get involved with Su Jinlan, right?
Su Jinlan looked at Su Liluo expressionlessly for a while, and just when Meng Zhuyao thought that Su Jinlan would get angry or refuse, she heard her say lightly: "Okay, I can't ask for it." β
β¦β¦ Meng Zhuyao thought, why did she seem to smell a little gunpowder?
Su Liluo got the answer she wanted, took the relevant information, and then left. Su Jinlan returned to her office, and slammed her palm on the table as soon as she entered the door.
Meng Zhuyao cautiously approached: "Lan Lan, are you okay?" β
"Okay, very good, what's wrong with me?" Su Jinlan raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "You know the general situation of the company, you can go and get busy." I'll take care of something. β
Meng Zhuyao knew that Su Jinlan had a strong self-esteem since she was a child, and the closer she was to collapse, the more she liked to be alone. Therefore, Meng Zhuyao did not force it, slowly exited the office, and helped her close the door.
As soon as Meng Zhuyao left, Su Jinlan slammed the water cup on the table to the ground.
It's not that she didn't expect to face Su Liluo one day, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
And Su Liluo behaved like everything was going according to the flow. Su Jinlan was not surprised that she wanted to interfere in the company's affairs, but with such a strong method, Su Jinlan felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang.
Su Jinlan was a little upset and wanted to turn off the phone, but when she saw the caller ID, she swiped to answer it.
"Mr. Su, good morning." Meng Yuzhou's magnetic voice rang on the phone: "I don't know what I proposed last time, how did you think about it?" β
Su Jinlan was a little angry and laughed: "You begged me to cooperate, and your attitude is still so arrogant?" β
Meng Yuzhou raised his eyebrows on the other end of the phone, a little surprised that Su Jinlan didn't have an obvious refusal: "Then what do you mean?" β
"Come and have lunch with me." Su Jinlan felt that she was panicking now and needed to find someone to accompany her. And she didn't know why, so she found Meng Yuzhou.
Meng Yuzhou has always been careful, and now he naturally heard something wrong with Su Jinlan on the phone.
Based on what he has known about Su Jinlan in the past month or so, if she hadn't encountered something big or difficult, she would never have taken the initiative to ask to eat with herβafter all, she was stronger than Meng Zhuyao.
"Okay."
Meng Yuzhou did what he said, and quickly asked Zuo Bai to book the location of the restaurant, and then drove to the Su Group himself.
Su Jinlan came downstairs from the special elevator and happened to see Meng Yuzhou's black Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of her.
Su Jinlan was not polite, opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down, taking care of herself and fastening her seat belt.
The two of them seemed to have an innate tacit understanding, Su Jinlan began to close her eyes and recuperate after sitting down, while Meng Yuzhou drove to the restaurant attentively.
This restaurant is a private restaurant, and the overall style is more rustic, with a little warmth. The restaurant's private rooms are not crowded together, each box is a separate cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides and a view of the river outside the restaurant.
When the two of them entered the door, the dishes were just ready.
Meng Yuzhou took the initiative to drag out a chair for Su Jinlan and asked her to sit down, and then sat opposite her.
"Drink something?" Meng Yuzhou looked at the tea in front of him and frowned. He didn't like to drink tea, and according to what he knew about Su Jinlan during this time, she didn't like it either.
Su Jinlan looked at him with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "I want the most expensive wine here, can you also drink it with me?" β
"Yes, of course." Meng Yuzhou nodded without hesitation.
"Forget it, champagne." Su Jinlan held her chin, a little out of her mind.
Meng Yuzhou placed an order, waited for the waiter to take the wine, and left the box before he spoke: "Why do you want to drink?" β
In broad daylight, he couldn't think of any reason to make Su Jinlan want to drink.
"I met someone today." Su Jinlan took a sip of her wine glass, her voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and she lowered her head and couldn't see her eyes clearly: "That person made me feel a little uncomfortable." β
"Ex-boyfriend?" Meng Yuzhou's eyes became a little sharp invisibly.
"Cut ......" Su Jinlan sneered: "If I tell you, it will be the first time with you and me that night, do you believe it?" Where did I get some ex-boyfriend. Those who know her well know that she is too busy to fall in love tomorrow.
"I believe it." Unexpectedly, Meng Yuzhou immediately nodded: "You left marks on my carpet that day." β
As soon as these words came out, Su Jinlan almost sprayed Meng Yuzhou's face with champagne, and her face turned a little red unnaturally...... It seems that she did drink too much that day, and she didn't even notice that there were traces of herself in that mess.
But...... What's there to discuss on this kind of topic?! Su Jinlan scolded herself silently in her heart, and then said frankly: "I met Su Liluo." You've probably heard, right? I was the child who reported the mistake of the Su family back then, and the real eldest daughter has been found and has been studying abroad. It's just that today suddenly came to the company. β
Meng Yuzhou naturally learned a little about this matter in the process of investigating Su Jinlan.
As an adopted son, in fact, Meng Yuzhou can resonate with Su Jinlan in some places.
He smiled slightly, lifted the cup and clinked glasses with Su Jinlan: "And then?" Is she being rude to you? β
"It's not rude." Su Jinlan sighed a little frustratedly, lowered her head and said, "It's my own problem...... I don't feel comfortable seeing her, her presence is ...... to me It's too complicated. β
"It's a feeling of inferiority." Meng Yuzhou gently shook the wine in the glass: "Your current stage is the situation I have been in for the past ten years. β
Su Jinlan looked up at him: "Has it been all the time?" Have you always felt inferior? But...... Ahem, to be honest, you're pretty good. Except for some aspects of some paranoia. β
"Maybe it's this psychology that makes me paranoid." Meng Yuzhou smiled rarely: "But now it seems that it is not a big problem. β
"Really?" Su Jinlan smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "But as soon as I see her, I will think that I am an impostor...... Even if the Su Group is run well, I am not the biological daughter of the Su family. Maybe one day in the future, Su Liluo will naturally take over the Su Group in my hands - do you know? They sent her to the best finance university abroad without telling me. β
Just thinking of this, Su Jinlan felt a faint pain in her heart.
"So what?" Meng Yuzhou put down his wine glass and filled Su Jinlan with a bowl of pigeon soup: "The Su family is so big, do you want to run it alone all the time?" Even I have always kept Yaoyao's shares, so as not to be busy one day in the future and ask her to come back to help. β
