After secretly pondering over Chu Ge's words, Qin Ruojing suddenly realized a problem, gave Chu Ge a fierce glare, and said with disdain and anger, "According to what you said, doesn't that mean... you beast!"

Facing Qin Ruojing's indignant gaze, Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly, "Alright, I'm a beast, but whether I'm a beast or not has nothing to do with you, right? Around you, I'm always worse than a beast."

Seeing how straightforward Chu Ge was, Qin Ruojing's eyelids fluttered, then she asked with a weird expression, "After all this talk, you still haven't told me, why would she bite you?"

Chu Ge chuckled and continued his nonsense in a serious tone, "When people are extremely emotional, they tend to have their own ways of expression, right? Unfortunately for me, I happened to meet someone who likes to bite."

"So, are you saying that Tong Yaqi's way of expressing is to shout out loud?"

Chu Ge scratched his head with a drop of sweat, saying, "Uh... that's a normal reaction."

Seeing Qin Ruojing's serious, thoughtful expression, as if she were studying some scientific subject and seemed about to ask more questions, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh and reminded her.

"Chairman, didn't you just say you were going to the company? I bet you got so engrossed in my lecture that you forgot about it, didn't you?"

Qin Ruojing was startled, and Chu Ge wasn't wrong at all; it was the first time she had talked so much about such matters, and under the influence of shyness and curiosity, she indeed forgot about going to the company.

However, of course, Qin Ruojing couldn't admit it; she was stunned for a second before regaining her composure and said casually, "How is that possible? Of course, I didn't forget. Well, let's go, we'll grab some breakfast on the way."

"Then I'll make up the lesson for you another time, haha!"

Seeing Qin Ruojing trying to act as if nothing happened, Chu Ge found it both wordless and amusing, teased her once more, and went out with her.

On the way to the company, Qin Ruojing sat in the passenger seat of the Audi A8, hesitated for a few minutes while holding the phone, and finally called Tong Yaqi, arranging to meet her in the chairman's office at nine o'clock.

Although Qin Ruojing didn't say much, from her expression, Chu Ge estimated that she probably intended to bring Tong Yaqi over to Tianqing.

In Qin Ruojing's office, after Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing finished the breakfast they bought along the way, he talked to her about his ideas for the campus recruitment fair.

Qin Ruojing originally thought it would be good enough if Chu Ge could remember part of the materials before the recruitment fair started. However, unexpectedly, in just a short day, not only had Chu Ge memorized all the materials, but he was also well-prepared for the campus recruitment fair.

Such memory is truly astonishing!

"Knock knock"

At exactly nine o'clock, without a minute's difference, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Qin Ruojing glanced at Chu Ge and said teasingly, "It should be Director Tong. Don't feel guilty when you see her after sleeping with another woman behind her back, okay?"

Chu Ge shook his head with a smile, "Why should I feel guilty? You know our relationship, do you think she'd care?"

"Should I tell her about it then?"

"Go ahead if you want to."

"You're quite bold, alright, hurry and open the door."

Chu Ge opened the door, and sure enough, it was Tong Yaqi. They greeted each other formally, and Tong Yaqi walked in.

Upon reaching Qin Ruojing's desk, Tong Yaqi stopped, "Chairman, you were looking for me?"

Qin Ruojing smiled, "Sister Yaqi, it's just the three of us here now, no need to be so formal, have a seat."

Upon hearing Qin Ruojing call her "Sister Yaqi," Tong Yaqi was slightly taken aback.

Although Qin Ruojing had called her that last time at her house, this was the first time in the company, making Tong Yaqi's mind race with thoughts, leaving her somewhat anxious.

After Tong Yaqi sat on the sofa, Chu Ge handed her a glass of water, and Qin Ruojing said with a smile, "Sister Yaqi, how has work been lately? Are you tired?"

Originally, Tong Yaqi was already a bit anxious due to the address, and now hearing Qin Ruojing ask such a question, she became even more unsure of Qin Ruojing's intentions. But she didn't ask much, only smiled and shook her head.

"Everything's good, not tired."

Qin Ruojing nodded, continuing, "Sister Yaqi, I called you here today because there's something I want to discuss with you, just say what you think, no need to be polite with me."

"Chairman, please go ahead."

"Well, I'll speak frankly then. You should be aware that our Tianjiao Group has brought in another subsidiary, right?"

Tong Yaqi nodded. Everyone at Tianjiao Group basically knew about this; she was no exception. Yet, she increasingly couldn't understand why Qin Ruojing was bringing this up with her.

"It's like this: that subsidiary is a company left by He Qing. Although it's nominally a subsidiary of Tianjiao Group, in reality, the investment for that one company exceeds that of the entire Tianjiao Group. This, you probably weren't aware of, right?"

On hearing this, Tong Yaqi couldn't help but be stunned. She wasn't sure of Tianjiao Group's exact assets, but it was certainly a huge number. Yet, that subsidiary was so powerful? This truly was a grand scale.

Seeing Tong Yaqi slightly stunned, Qin Ruojing smiled, "Sister Yaqi, the reason I'm telling you this is to help you understand the strength of that company, and also to discuss some adjustments to your work."

The previous information had yet to be digested by Tong Yaqi, and then this topic came up, leaving her looking over at Qin Ruojing in astonishment, at a loss for words.

Qin Ruojing had anticipated Tong Yaqi's reaction and smiled gently, "Sister Yaqi, don't overthink. I have never doubted your character and work ability. Once I've spoken my mind, if you have any thoughts, feel free to openly share them with me, alright?"

Tong Yaqi nodded, her mood somewhat complex, but apart from listening on, there seemed to be no other choice.

Qin Ruojing meticulously told Tong Yaqi everything about the Tianqing Company that could be disclosed, allowing her to gain a deeper understanding of its strength. Finally, she presented the key reason for today's meeting with Tong Yaqi.

"I hope you can go to that subsidiary to serve as the General Manager. This is a significant responsibility, and after much thought, you're the only one in Tianjiao Group whom I can confidently place in this position."

With this statement, it was clear that today, Qin Ruojing sought Tong Yaqi for a promotion, signifying extreme trust.

However, Qin Ruojing knew that for Tong Yaqi, choosing whether to accept or not was undeniably a difficult dilemma.

After all, Tong Yaqi had been doing well at Tianjiao Film and Television. She was familiar with every department, and everything was on track, making her work with absolute ease.

Moreover, because of stars like Brother Fa and Star Ye making cameo appearances in Tianjiao Film and Television's first movie, the film was bound for success. Tianjiao Film and Television was sure to gain great popularity from this, and its future development would undoubtedly reach a highly notable level.

However, Tianqing Company is currently just an empty shell, no matter how well He Qing paved the way, or how much money is available for investment and support. But being a General Manager there means starting everything from scratch, and it's definitely a process that requires more dedication, facing more challenges.

Doing well would certainly bring happiness to all, but before truly taking action, who could guarantee that success?

Sure enough, when Qin Ruojing said this, Tong Yaqi didn't immediately express her position but instead frowned, showing considerable difficulty.

Through Qin Ruojing's words, she knew this was undoubtedly a recognition of her work ability, an opportunity accompanied by risk, of course.

"Sister Yaqi, about whether you want to be that General Manager, there's no hurry to respond. You can think it over. If you have any questions now, feel free to ask, and I will answer them honestly."

Clearly, this was not a time for politeness. Tong Yaqi nodded and asked several questions, to which Qin Ruojing responded sincerely and openly.

With the confusions in her heart explained, Tong Yaqi then fell silent, weighing the pros and cons while considering if there was anything she had overlooked.

"Sister Yaqi, speaking of that subsidiary, it actually has something to do with Chu Ge. Although he currently holds the title of secretary and driver here, I don't even know how many more days he can serve."

"It has something to do with Chu Ge?" Tong Yaqi asked in bewilderment.

"You must have noticed he's been absent from work frequently, right? Do you want to know what position he holds in that company?"

At this point, Qin Ruojing's lips curved into a helpless smile as she looked over at Chu Ge.

Even though she had long accepted this seemingly unreliable fact, she still felt a bit upset whenever she thought about it. Why was this guy so trusted by He Qing, and how could He Qing entrust that company to him?

Tong Yaqi unconsciously glanced at Chu Ge, "What position?"

Imagining Tong Yaqi's potential reactions upon learning the truth, Qin Ruojing's smile grew broader, and the bit of frustration vanished completely.

"Sister Yaqi, why don't you take a guess? If you guess right, I'll treat you to dinner."

Being watched by the two women, Chu Ge couldn't help but spread his hands and respond to Qin Ruojing, "Aren't you making things difficult for Director Tong?"

Qin Ruojing gave Chu Ge a sideways glance, "Why? We sisters are just joking around, so don't butt in. Let me warn you, don't give Sister Yaqi any hints."

The bitter smile on Chu Ge's face deepened. Where would Tong Yaqi even begin to guess? It seemed unlikely she'd ever come up with the answer, even in her dreams.

Seeing the perplexed look on Chu Ge's face, Tong Yaqi's curiosity was piqued, and after a little thought, she proposed an answer she considered quite plausible.
