Chapter 166
I was curious why she left YH Media Company. She said, "It's simple. The boss has a bad character. He thinks the company has developed enough and no longer needs us. He started to make things difficult for us."
"He wants to fire you guys?"
" It's not exactly a firing, but he's been secretly causing trouble for us, hoping we would resign voluntarily. I was the one who built up that company from scratch. However, the absence of loyalty eliminates the need for coercion. "
Holly was really carefree and decisive.
I said, "Don't worry about that. I treat my subordinates well. I definitely wouldn't do that."
Holly smiled. "Then I can rest assured."
We exchanged a smile, but we didn't delve deeper into the topic.
"Oh, Mr. Cena, do you know that the Sevan Media Association is holding a conference tomorrow?"
I nodded. "Tomorrow I'm going with my friend, not as the CEO of a media company, but as an investor!"
Holly was surprised. "An investor?"
"Yes, I'm going with my friend. You should accompany me, as there are certain activities that are not suitable for me to undertake. "
My biggest concern was running into people from Skyliho, which would be awkward.
Holly was pleasantly surprised. "That's great. I didn't have the qualifications to attend last year at YH Media Company. I've been wanting to go."
"Is this conference high-profile?"
" Indeed, it's a significant event for all Sevan media companies. Even though ninety percent of the companies are not eligible to participate, they will still have representatives stationed outside.
I was secretly surprised. Then I'll have to be more careful. If I ran into acquaintances, it would be even more awkward.
"Beyond meeting investors in person, the most crucial aspect is the various channels available. Sevan's local channels, as well as major out-of-town channel merchants, will all be there. "Even some TV station representatives will come.”
I now have a more vivid impression of this conference. Investors, channel merchants, TV stations—it was truly a feast for media professionals.
Time flew by, and it was already noon. I called everyone over, and today I footed the bill.
It was also a way for everyone to know each other.
We found a nearby restaurant and booked a private room. Since we had to work in the afternoon, we only drank beverages.
We ordered delicious dishes, and everyone enjoyed the meal.
Grace sat on my left, Holly on my right.
However, Grace was now feeling a bit unhappy. The reason was simple. I had appointed a stunning woman as vice president, effectively making her the boss. She definitely won't be happy.
I would have to cheer her up later.
Starting with me, we took turns introducing ourselves.
We also played games during the break. The atmosphere became livelier, and everyone became more familiar with each other.
After eating and drinking, I walked to the front with Grace and Holly, two beautiful women by my side and a group of people behind me. I suddenly felt a sense of grandeur.
Being the boss was great!
Back in the office, sitting on the soft boss chair, lighting a Cuban cigar, I couldn't have dreamed of such a happy day before.
Just as I was indulging in the moment, there was a knock on the office door. "Come in."
I retracted my feet from the desk, but the cigar remained lit. What's wrong with a successful man smoking a cigar?
Grace came in from outside and locked the door behind her.
I felt a pang of anxiety. Why was she there?
When she saw me sitting upright, she plopped down on my lap, her delicate hands around my neck. "I'm not happy. Why should Holly be the vice president? I want to be the vice president, too."
I was quite troubled. "Didn't we agree that we shouldn't let others know about our relationship in the company?"
"What relationship?" Grace started to act coy. "How come I don't know what relationship we have? Am I your girlfriend? Or lover? Or subordinate and lover?"
I chuckled. "You are my confidante!"
"Aren't I the only one of your confidantes?" Grace asked.
I thought to myself, 'She figured that out too!'
I lied, "How could there be anyone else? You are my only confidante!"
I held her slender waist, smiling, "Really, I'm not lying to you!"
Seeing my sincere expression, she smiled. "But I want to be the boss's lady. How can being a confidante be enough?"
I said, "You still have to work hard."
"Then you should point me in the right direction, right?"
Grace nibbled on her lip as she moved closer to me, making my genitals hard.
I took a deep breath. "Don't do this. This is the office. If you stay here too long, people will start to suspect you. It will make work difficult in the future."
"If it's difficult, then so be it. After all, no matter what I do, I'm still someone else's subordinate."
Grace said, "In that case, I might as well take a shortcut and become the boss's lady directly!"
With that, her hands began to wander, starting to undo my belt.
I grabbed her hand, lifted her, and placed her on the desk. "Grace, I know you're upset, but this is work, not child's play. She can help us make money. We need to value her. We can't let someone else be the supervisor, right? You don't want all my money to go down the drain, do you?"
She pouted and didn't say anything.
In that situation, I had to use my advantage.
"Think about it. In the future, you're going to be the boss's lady. Why would you be at odds with an employee?"
I reassured her, "She's helping us make money. Even if she's acting out now, in the future, she'll still be your employee. When she sees you, she'll have to call your boss, right?"
At that, Grace's face lit up. "That's what you said. So, from now on, I'll be the boss's lady.”
Damn, I suddenly realized I was being tricked. But at this point, I couldn't just say I was lying to him.
I chuckled awkwardly, not saying anything. Grace added, "But I'm afraid she is exceptionally capable and might turn the tables. She might end up being my boss's lady instead."
