Chapter Sixteen: Luo Zong is quite arrogant

  When Su Yan walked into the lobby of Wenxi Garden, the employees of the beauty salon on the first floor were gathered together whispering and discussing something, without even noticing her arrival.

  "Why are you all gathered here chatting instead of going to your own workstation during work hours?" Su Yan had been standing at the front desk for nearly two minutes, and no one had noticed her yet, so she immediately got angry.

  "Hello, Director Su!"

  "Hello, Director Su!"

  “……”

  Everyone scattered, saying goodbye to each other. The receptionist, Wang Ai and Yu Zining, walked over with a stiff neck, their heads hung low like they had broken their cervical spine. In their minds, the general manager Wen Xin was not scary, what was truly terrifying was this vice president Su Yan, who held the power to decide their salary and benefits.

  Su Yan's voice was stern: "What are you muttering about?"

  "Nothing... nothing at all!" The two exchanged a glance and shrank back.

  "Director Su..." Wang Mengjie quickly ran over, wanting to reach out and pull Su Yan, but then hesitated and withdrew her hand: "It's like this, Director Wen's daughter arrived this morning and is now in Director Wen's office. We were just discussing this matter!"

  "Brown-noser!" Wang Ai muttered under her breath.

  Su Yan glared at Wang Ai and turned to look at Wang Mengjie: "Discuss? What's there to discuss?"

  Wang Mengjie hastily replied: "Director Wen's daughter said she would come to work every week from now on, but she looks like she's only 16 or 17 years old. She resembles Director Wen in appearance, but her personality is quite different from his, seemingly very strict!" As a beautician, her guess about the age was naturally quite accurate.

  Su Yan's expression relaxed: "Just say gossip is fine, stop giving yourself a pat on the back!"

  Wang Mengjie rubbed her feet and thought that discussing was better than gossiping, but had she misjudged? Wasn't Su actually trying to monopolize power?

  "You go ahead!" Su Yan walked two steps and turned back: "Wang Mengjie, fill out another copy of your promotion application and hand it over!"

  "Thank you! Thank you, Director Su! I will work hard and not let Director Su down... Director Su's kindness!" Wang Mengjie was excited and stuttered, after her promotion, her salary could increase by 300 yuan, and she didn't have to do cleaning work, the key is that her status had changed!

  Wang Ai and Yu Zining, of course, understood that Su Yan's promotion of Wang Mengjie in front of everyone was a warning to everyone who called the shots in the company. The two looked at Wang Mengjie with envy, disdaining her flattering behavior while also regretting their missed opportunity. They thought President Su would be angry with them for gossiping about President Wen's daughter behind his back!

  "Li Yue, work hard, I won't treat you unfairly!" Wang Mengjie said with a smug face as she passed by Li Yue.

  Li Yue gave Wang Mengjie a bland glance, continuing to busy herself measuring out the ingredients for the special facial mask. This was her habit - she always prepared in advance for customers who had booked appointments for facials that day, so as not to make mistakes when it was time.

  ……

  "Why didn't you knock?" Luo Ye, who was carefully studying the employee information of various departments in the company, frowned at Su Yan, who suddenly opened the door and came in, with a look of displeasure on her face.

  Su Yan was stunned, and it really was just like Wang Mengjie said. She looked very similar to Wen Xin, and was even more beautiful than her. However, her personality was vastly different from Wen Xin's. But why did Wen Xin always say that her daughter had a weak personality?

  "Haha... are you Luo Ye? I often hear your mom mention you, just now I heard them say you're in Director Wen's office, I didn't quite believe it, haha... turns out it's true."

  Lu Ye's small face was tense: "Usually when my mom is around, you enter her office like this?"

  "What?" Su Yan's face turned ugly: "Miss Luo, I don't know what you're doing here at the company today, but as a deputy general manager, shouldn't you have some basic respect for me?

  "That's right, I usually go to Director Wen's office like this. All along, the company has been taken care of by me, and Director Wen understands my difficulties, never requiring too much etiquette from me. Does that make sense?"

  Lu Ye stared at Su Yan for a while, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up with a light smile: "Understood, but my mother is my mother, I am me. Today, I came to the company to replace my mother's position, so I am Lu Zong, Lu Zong has Lu Zong's rules. Is that clear?"

  "You!" Su Yan was so angry that she couldn't speak, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? For the past two years, Wen Xin had handed everything over to her to manage, afraid that she would be dissatisfied, and usually pampered her.

  Today I was actually taught a lesson by that little girl, and the last sentence even completely imitated her tone, how could she swallow this tone?

  She actually wanted to question whether Xiao Yatou was really the daughter of Wen Zong, but those completely similar eyebrows and eyes made her unable to question it.

  Before Su Yan could speak, Luo Ye spoke again: "Since you said you've been taking care of the company all along, let me tell you what I saw."

  I arrived at the company at 8:45. There were three employees sweeping the floor on the first floor, two of them holding mops for show. The internet cafe and book bar on the second floor were empty, and the fitness center on the third floor was also empty.

  At 9 o'clock, employees came in one after another. The second and third floors started to clean up. By 9:20, General Manager You was late, as for whether there were still employees who had not arrived, I am not aware of the situation and will not make any arbitrary judgments.

  However, as the leader of a company, shouldn't you be setting an example? Don't tell me that this is some kind of privilege your mother gave you, privileges are meant to elevate one's status, not for personal enjoyment!

  "Hmm..." Su Yan smiled coldly: "Wen's leisure center has been established for 9 years, I've worked in the company for 8 years, and I think I've made some contributions. You're here for the first day, and you're already pointing fingers at me, do you think you have the qualifications?"

  Besides, you say you're Luo Zong, but that doesn't make you Luo Zong! Wen Zong didn't inform me, so in my eyes, you're just Wen Zong's daughter. I'm showing respect to her, not because I'm afraid of you!"

  "Oh, you're late, haven't turned on the computer yet? There's an email from my mom in the company mailbox, take a look and it'll be clear whether I'm Luo Zong or not!" A hint of disgust flashed through Luo Ye's eyes. This woman dared to talk about credit and qualifications, what a huge joke!

  Su Yan especially wanted to walk away with a flick of her hand, but she couldn't figure out the situation and was afraid that things might get worse if she acted rashly. So she suppressed the anger in her heart: "Okay, I'll go back and take a look!"

  "Go, and next time you come in, remember to knock on the door, or beware of my flying dart!" As Luo Ye's voice fell, a small flying dart was steadily nailed onto the dartboard behind the door. The red tassel at the end of the dart quivered with a sneer, scaring Su Yan back a step.

  "You... you're too rude!" Su Yan's face turned iron-gray with anger.

  "Good job! Good job!" Luo Ye said with a somewhat exasperated tone.

  "You..." Su Yan slammed the door and left, but in her heart, she was secretly muttering to herself, what on earth is Wen Xin planning?

  If Warm and Fuzzy knew her own daughter was bullying others at the company, she would be speechless with rage. She had let her daughter come on her own because she thought her daughter's personality had become more outgoing than before and wouldn't get bullied, so she hadn't informed anyone in the company. Little did she know, as soon as her daughter arrived, she started bullying others instead!
