Chapter 791: Secretary Jing?

"It seems Miss Bai doesn’t fully understand her own company. Haven’t you ever heard of the saying ’to the able go the spoils’?"

"You!"

Perhaps the implication in Tang Shu’s eyes, "How could you not know even this?", was too obvious. Bai Chingching, who was usually unbeatable in her eloquence, suddenly found herself at a loss for words, and even her intellect seemed to diminish sharply.

"Who knows if your invitation is real or fake? Even if you are terribly capable, Cloudscape Pharma wouldn’t hire a student as a special advisor. Moreover, Miss Tang, you spend most of your time acting, don’t you?"

The more Bai Chingching thought about it, the more convinced she became of her analysis, and the sarcasm on her face grew even more pronounced.

"I can understand Miss Tang’s desire to network with some investors, but if you’re going around impersonating a Cloudscape employee and deceiving others, that’s damaging the reputation of our Cloudscape!"

The others looked around, no longer as certain as before.

Could it be that what Chingching said makes some sense? But that gold-embossed VIP invitation doesn’t look fake at all, and it even has the seal of the Human Resources department on it.

Tang Hao hadn’t seen the writing on the invitation before, but now, he was also persuaded by his newly acquainted girlfriend.

"This really isn’t right, Yucheng... Why don’t you try to persuade Miss Tang?"

Lin Yucheng was thoroughly disgusted by the address, nearly unable to maintain his composure, "We are not that close, please call me Supervisor Lin. Besides, I believe in Miss Tang. Whatever she says goes. Do you two live by the sea, to be so nosy?"

"Yucheng, you can’t talk like this; after all, we are all employees of Cloudscape Group...."

"Shut up! Bai Chingching, spare me the sanctimonious talk. It’s tiring just listening to you."

Lin Yucheng, who managed to barely keep a shred of rationality, would have physically attacked the two in front of him if not for that thin thread of sanity.

Perhaps due to the conspicuous scene of the group standing together, many people at the event started looking over, and the central topic of discussion, Tang Shu, with her height and appearance, was too striking to ignore.

"Consultant Tang? It’s a rare pleasure. What brings you here today?"

Everyone turned towards the sound, finding a man in a suit appeared before them, and moreover... that face looked quite familiar!

"Director Yin, long time no see."

"Indeed, it’s been quite a while. People in the R&D department often mention Consultant Tang."

The newcomer was Yin Hui, the person in charge at Cloudscape Pharmaceuticals Subsidiary. With several new drugs launched in the past six months, his identity and status had changed, making him enormously popular and almost universally known within the group.

The rest of the group watched the two converse amiably with surprise, exchanging glances and conveying messages with their eyes.

"Isn’t this the manager of the pharmaceuticals subsidiary? Yes, yes?"

"Yes, yes, it definitely is. I’ve seen Director Yin at the headquarters before!"

"He actually knows Tang Shu, and he’s so polite when talking to her?"

"What do you mean polite? It’s definitely very polite, and look, they seem quite familiar with each other——"

"Did I just hear the words ’Consultant Tang’?"

"So?"

"Right, that means the invitation Tang Shu had is definitely real!"

Lin Yucheng was just as shocked as everyone else. As the financial manager of the group’s main office, she was quite familiar with Yin Hui. After all, she handled the monthly financial reports, but the way Miss Tang interacted with him... It didn’t seem like the relationship between a consultant and a manager at all!

What is going on here! Can someone tell her?

The only person at the scene who was unwilling to believe this was Bai Chingching. Watching the familiar interaction between Tang Shu and Director Yin, she had to acknowledge a fact.

Tang Shu’s VIP invitation was real!

Yin Hui exchanged a few pleasantries with Tang Shu, "When does Consultant Tang have time to visit the R&D department? I hear Dr. Qian’s complaints every day; my ears are practically calloused."

"How could I refuse an invitation from Director Yin?"

"Haha! That’s what I’ve been waiting to hear. Then I’ll be waiting for you in the lab!"

Now that Yin Hui had gotten the answer he wanted, he finally had time to look at the few people beside him, "By the way, what are you discussing here...?"

Tang Shu glanced across, "Nothing much, just chatting with an acquaintance for a bit."

Really? It doesn’t quite look like it?

Yin Hui had gotten to his current position by being shrewd. He hadn’t paid much attention before because he was too excited to see Tang Shu, but now that he thought about it, didn’t the atmosphere seem a bit strange?

However, since she had said as much, it would be somewhat obtuse of him to ask further.

"In that case, I won’t disturb your reunion. We’ll talk more in the R&D department in a few days. I’m really looking forward to the new ideas that Consultant Tang will bring up."

"You’re too kind, Director Yin. You have so much on your plate; I won’t take up more of your time today."

As Yin Hui’s figure disappeared in front of everyone, the awkward atmosphere didn’t fade but instead grew thicker.

Bai Chingching’s face turned shades of green and purple, far from looking good, while the others looked at Tang Shu with surprise — and then more surprise.

Lin Yucheng snorted without any reserve, "Miss Bai, do you still have any doubts now?"

"..."

Bai Chingching’s face turned even uglier, and Tang Hao beside her also seemed out of place.

The awkward situation didn’t last long. Jing Xiaobei, who had finished her tasks, rushed over energetically, her deep green cheongsam not hindering her movements at all.

"Xiao Shushu, I finally found you. I was worried I had lost you!"

Thank goodness. Her cousin was still talking to someone else and hadn’t noticed her — otherwise, who knows how he would’ve made her toil.

"Hey? What are you all talking about? It seems quite lively here—"

The arrival of Jing Bei once again shocked everyone, whose expressions had just returned to normal.

"Secretary Jing, you also... know Miss Tang?!"

It wasn’t odd for Director Yin of Cloudscape Pharmaceuticals to know Tang Shu — after all, he was in charge of the whole subsidiary, and it was impossible for him not to know about a specially-appointed consultant in the R&D department.

But what’s going on now? Secretary Jing works at the group headquarters, assisting President Jing. How would she know a consultant from a subsidiary?!

The turn of events was becoming more and more fantastical!

Hearing this somewhat sharp question, Jing Bei’s excitement settled down, and she looked at Bai Chingching with a probing gaze.

"Why can’t I know Xiao Shushu? Your question is a bit strange~~~"

And, this lady in the white dress looks a bit off. Maybe she got the wrong shade for her foundation?

"You are... Manager Bai from the planning department? Sorry, I don’t quite remember."

The functional headquarters of Cloudscape Group had hundreds of employees working in an entire office building.
