Xu Zhou looked completely baffled.
For years, the female employees at the Translation Institute had always dressed like this.
The Vice Director had never interfered with the staff uniforms before.
Xu Zhou glanced at the celebrities in the small conference room.
His eyes immediately fell on Tang Wu, who was wearing a tight, hip-hugging mini skirt.
Her long, slender, straight legs were so pale they almost glowed, looking exactly like legs straight out of a comic book.
It was truly a feast for the eyes to see female celebrities wearing the Translation Institute's uniforms.
No wonder the Vice Director wanted to change the mini skirts to long pants; he was probably worried that the male employees would be too distracted to work!
Xu Zhou nodded immediately. I will get it done right away.
A moment later, seeing Si Yanli still staring into the small conference room, a hint of confusion flashed in Xu Zhou's eyes.
Following Si Yanli's gaze, Xu Zhou looked at Pei Yi, who was currently training the celebrities. He did not know if it was just his imagination, but the Vice Director's eyes seemed to hold a sharp, dark intensity as he watched Pei Yi.
Did Pei Yi do something wrong and offend the Vice Director?
Who arranged for Pei Yi to train the new employees?
Xu Zhou coughed. I did. Pei Yi is an outstanding employee. Having him train the celebrities is both professional and—
Before he could finish, Si Yanli interrupted him. You train them yourself.
Xu Zhou was speechless.
He was the special assistant, yet he had to train new employees?
Had he not always assigned his subordinates to do the training in the past?
Watching Si Yanli walk away, his back practically radiating an icy chill, Xu Zhou rubbed his nose.
Was the Vice Director on his man period lately?
...
After Si Yanli and Xu Zhou left, Xu Dai lowered her voice and said, Vice Director Si was just staring at me, was he not?
Tang Wu and Gu Lingwei both looked at Xu Dai.
Xu Dai was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, making Tang Wu look several centimeters shorter standing next to her.
Tang Wu had been listening intently to Pei Yi earlier and had not even noticed Si Yanli outside.
I caught it out of the corner of my eye. Vice Director Si stared at my legs for several seconds, Xu Dai said, her red lips curling up in smug satisfaction.
The big boss and second boss of the company were already taken. If she could hook up with the Third Young Master of the Si family, it would be a pretty good choice.
In the afternoon, the HR department informed the three female celebrities that they were no longer allowed to wear short skirts to work; they had to wear long pants from now on.
A smile played on Xu Dai's lips. It must be because Vice Director Si does not want other men looking at my beautiful legs. I did not expect him to be so possessive.
Tang Wu was speechless.
...
This was Tang Wu's first time participating in a workplace variety show.
To increase the show's entertainment value, the directing team had set up numerous challenges for them.
They made fools of themselves time and time again. Knowing absolutely nothing about translation, they seemed to have become the biggest joke of the show.
However, Tang Wu still took her tasks seriously.
The celebrities were working under Sister Yao in Group Ten of the Translation Institute.
Sister Yao was a strict person. She did not care if they were celebrities or not; if they failed to complete the tasks she assigned, she would certainly reprimand them.
Recently, Group Ten was working on a project plan, and Tang Wu and the others were involved in it.
They worked overtime almost every night. Fortunately, they finished the plan before getting off work on Thursday.
But when Friday came and the client arrived at the Translation Institute, the USB drive was missing.
Sister Yao turned blue with anger.
The person in charge of the USB drive was Sister Yao's assistant. She claimed that she had put the drive in her drawer before leaving work, and it could not possibly be missing unless someone had taken it.
The clients had already arrived at the conference room. If the flash drive couldn't be found, their days of overtime would be completely wasted, and they would end up offending the clients.
Sister Yao's assistant was so anxious that her tears kept falling.
Xu Dai looked down at her diamond-studded manicure and said breezily, I remember Tang Wu was the last one to leave work last night, right?
Jiang Fan immediately chimed in, When I came to work this morning, I saw Tang Wu was also the first to arrive at the office.
The implication was clear: the missing flash drive definitely had something to do with Tang Wu.
Are you guys out of your minds? Sister Wuwu worked overtime the latest and came in the earliest, which only proves her dedication. How can you blame her for stealing the flash drive?
Xu Dai gave a fake smile. Because she has a good relationship with Pei Yi from Group Nine. For this project, Group Nine and Group Ten are in competition. Maybe she did it to help her senior?
As soon as Xu Dai finished speaking, Sister Yao looked sharply at Tang Wu. Did you take the flash drive?
Tang Wu's beautiful eyes were open and clear. I didn't take it. Besides, even if Senior Pei wanted to win this project, he would rely on his own real abilities, not on stealing.
Seeing Tang Wu's firm and honest gaze, Sister Yao stopped doubting her. The flash drive must have been taken by someone with an ulterior motive. Investigating who took it will take time. The most pressing issue right now is how to explain this to the clients.
Tang Wu stood up and said, Sister Yao, I remember everything on the flash drive. If you trust me, I can present and communicate with the clients face to face.
Xu Dai scoffed. Tang Wu, stop trying to show off! With that much content, if you can remember it all, I'll do a handstand and eat a keyboard!
Gu Lingwei laughed, I believe Sister Wuwu. Xu Dai, just wait to do your handstand and eat the keyboard!
Xu Dai's face turned livid.
Sister Yao glanced at Tang Wu. If you don't handle this well, I will put your name directly on the elimination list for this week.
Okay!
...
Tang Wu and the staff of Group Ten entered the conference room.
Tang Wu stood at the very front of the room and began to present the contents of the flash drive to the clients.
At first, Xu Dai and Jiang Fan were somewhat disdainful, ready to watch Tang Wu make a fool of herself.
But gradually, they realized that Tang Wu's memory and abilities were simply beyond expectations.
Those obscure and difficult professional terms flowed out of her mouth with perfect fluency.
The clients nodded frequently as they listened.
A hint of a smile finally appeared on Sister Yao's stern face.
Si Yanli learned from Xu Zhou that Group Ten's flash drive was missing. He came over from his office, originally intending to explain the situation to the clients personally, but instead, he witnessed the scene of Tang Wu standing at the front of the conference table, delivering a brilliant presentation.
She truly lived up to being a broadcaster; she was articulate and her thinking was clear. Most importantly, she could pronounce complex professional terminology without stumbling in the slightest.
One must know that even professional translators would need to look at a script to express themselves so fluently.
She truly made people look at her in a new light.
The clients were very satisfied with Group Ten's proposal and signed the contract with them on the spot.
After the clients left, Si Yanli entered the conference room. The flash drive for Group Ten was taken by one of the newly arrived artists. I will give the person who took it one chance. If you step forward right now, I will communicate with the director and keep your theft of the flash drive from being exposed!
Vice Director Si, it must have been Tang Wu who took it, because she wanted to show off! Xu Dai said.
Tang Wu gave a cold sneer, "Xu Dai, you had the chance to steal the spotlight just now. Why didn't you take it?"
Gu Lingwei curled her lips into a smile, "Sister Wuwu, she wouldn't have what it takes even if she wanted to show off."
Ever since the human resources department told several female artists to swap their tight miniskirts for long pants a few days ago, Xu Dai had convinced herself that Si Yanli had fallen for her.
With shimmering eyes and a soft, delicate voice, she turned to Si Yanli. "Vice Director, a scheming person like Tang Wu should have been eliminated in the very first week. I can guarantee you that she is the one who took the flash drive."
Behind his glasses, Si Yanli's eyes were sharp and piercing. "You all probably don't know that there are security cameras installed in the office, do you?" With that, he called for Xu Zhou. "Go and pull up the surveillance footage from last night and this morning."
The moment Si Yanli finished speaking, someone among the group of artists stepped forward in an absolute panic, "I was the one who took the flash drive."
