Promoting My Sister

Duan Yubai’s hand paused, his brows furrowing slightly.

Mo Xiaoxue acted as if she didn't see his displeasure, walking over on her own accord.

"Oh, so Ms. Su brought so much food for herself. I was even worried she hadn't eaten breakfast."

"But with a knight in shining armor delivering handmade steamed buns from his mother, no wonder you don't eat at home."

With that, she turned her head to look at Duan Yubai, "President Duan, the documents over there are ready. We can go sign the contract whenever you're ready."

She glanced at the breakfast on the table again.

"Would you like to eat something, sir? It won't be good if your stomach acts up later."

"Not eating." Duan Yubai said, walking straight toward the door.

When he reached the threshold, he stopped again, "You are not allowed to eat in the office. Today, organize all the documents in my office chronologically."

"If you don't finish organizing them, don't even think about getting off work. You can just work at the company for the rest of your life."

Mo Xiaoxue hesitated and said, "Is that appropriate? These are all company secrets."

Duan Yubai sneered coldly, "She wouldn't dare leak a single word."

Without even looking at Su Nuo, he strode out of the company.

Of course Su Nuo wouldn't dare leak anything, nor would she ever do so.

She had grown up in the Duan family household since she was a child. The Duan Corporation was practically her home, and Duan Yubai trusted her the most.

Looking at the mountain of documents piled on his desk, Su Nuo felt a sudden wave of a headache.

Every single one of these documents needed to be re-sorted and organized. Just how long would that take?

Outside the office, the others cast curious glances her way.

Su Nuo took a deep breath, feeling her mood lighten considerably.

At least she had work to do now, rather than just freeloading.

Besides, she still had food to eat, didn't she?

She quickly tidied up the breakfast on her desk and then began cautiously sorting through the documents.

It wasn't as if she had never organized them before, but Duan Yubai rarely let her touch official work.

Especially after the Nth time she had mixed up the contracts he was supposed to sign with foreign clients, Duan Yubai had strictly forbidden her from ever touching those contracts again.

Yet she clearly remembered that she had organized them properly back then; she could even vividly recall the page numbers.

Yet when they arrived at the meeting room, all the contents were wrong.

Thinking of this, Su Nuo became even more careful, wishing she could memorize the contents of every single document.

Heaven might have previously cursed her with a brain obsessed with romance, but thankfully her actual intellect wasn't bad, and she quickly committed much of the content to memory.

Meanwhile, after leaving the company, Duan Yubai and Mo Xiaoxue headed straight for President Wen’s Wenxin Technology.

This contract involved partnership projects for the next dozen years or so, so Duan Yubai remained extremely cautious.

Mo Xiaoxue glanced sideways at his slightly angry expression while pretending to look at her WeChat on her phone.

"Ms. Su has only been at the company for a few days, yet she's already become a big sensation."

"What do you mean?" Duan Yubai asked instinctively.

Mo Xiaoxue’s tone was light, "What else could it be? Everyone loves a beauty. I heard that on her very first day at work, a male coworker brought her food."

"And someone brought her steamed buns again today. No wonder she hardly eats at home."

"Still, Ms. Su has always been well-liked, whether at the company or outside."

She tapped her phone screen, "As for President Wang’s side, how are we going to explain things?"

That incident had a huge impact on Hezhong; they ultimately needed to provide an explanation.

"An explanation?" A cold smile touched the corners of Duan Yubai’s lips.

"Chi Ling, is everything taken care of?"

"Yes, the news will be online in half an hour."

Chi Ling glanced in the rearview mirror, locking eyes with Mo Xiaoxue’s astonished expression.

"Chi Ling, what did you do?"

"You'll know in half an hour."

With that, Chi Ling concentrated on driving and stopped looking at her.

She looked at Duan Yubai, and seeing his expression, which suggested he had no intention of explaining, she had no choice but to drop the matter.

Yet a lingering sense of unease grew within her.

Could surveillance videos and photos on the internet really be fabricated?

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Su Nuo became a woman despised by everyone, how could Duan Yubai possibly keep such a woman in his heart?

Once the mud slung at Su Nuo was thick enough, the Duan family would inevitably cast her aside.

When that time came, couldn't she do whatever she wanted to Su Nuo?

At this thought, Mo Xiaoxue’s expression turned somewhat cruel.

When the group arrived at Wenxin Technology, Wen Zheng’s car had already pulled up.

He glanced behind Duan Yubai, "Su Nuo didn't come with you? Isn't she your secretary?"

"How could Ms. Su be a secretary? She just came to the company to experience life temporarily."

Mo Xiaoxue chimed in immediately, "Both Chi Ling and I are President Duan’s assistants, and I am thoroughly familiar with this project."

She smiled softly and even glanced at the secretary standing behind Wen Zheng.

The other person immediately stepped forward, "President Wen, it has indeed always been Ms. Mo coordinating with us."

"Oh, is that so? Well, fine. It’s just an intent agreement for now anyway; it doesn't matter who comes."

Wen Zheng turned away abruptly after speaking.

Duan Yubai’s expression, however, turned rather ugly.

He turned to look at Mo Xiaoxue, meeting her look of stunned uncertainty.

An intent agreement?

They had clearly agreed just moments before that they could sign the formal contract directly.

Without a word, the group followed him upstairs.

Wenxin Technology had just arrived in Jiangcheng and had only rented a single floor of an office building.

Even so, it was evident that Wenxin Technology possessed immense strength.

Almost exclusively young people bustled about the company, and there were many visitors arriving for partnerships.

However, once both parties entered the conference room, the meeting did not go smoothly.

"President Wen, didn't you say earlier that we could sign the contract directly?"

Mo Xiaoxue tried her best to restrain her emotions.

No matter what she said just now, the other party refused to bite, clearly intending to go back on their word.

Logically speaking, negotiations for such a partnership dragging on for months were completely normal.

Yet it was clearly Wen Zheng who had brought up signing the contract just moments ago; why had things changed?

Could it simply be because Su Nuo wasn't here?

At the thought that someone was still backing Su Nuo, Mo Xiaoxue clenched her fists tightly.

No matter what, she had to secure this project today; she had to let Duan Yubai see her value.

Wen Zheng nodded slightly, "I did say that, but I was referring to signing an intent agreement."

"The Duan family is indeed the titan of real estate, but when it comes to technological development..."

He looked at Duan Yubai, "I might need a bit more peace of mind. Having a familiar person around might make things better."

His words left no room for ambiguity; he clearly wanted Su Nuo to be involved.

Mo Xiaoxue’s face flushed red, and she angrily slumped back into her seat.

She could no longer mask her emotions.

Let Su Nuo come?

On what grounds?

Duan Yubai smiled faintly and then nodded, "President Wen makes a valid point. Signing an intent agreement first is completely acceptable."

"Su Nuo happens to be in the company's marketing department. Let her follow up on this project first. If there's anything she doesn't understand, I ask for President Wen's patience and understanding."

Wen Zheng leaned back in his chair, a meaningful look in his eyes.

"That would be for the best."

"Knowing the deep bond between you and your sister, President Duan should promote her a bit anyway. After all, the Su family left her quite a few assets; she needs to learn to manage things on her own eventually, doesn't she?"
