Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Encountering Splendid Auspiciousness (14)

Director Luo found out after much inquiry that the company had gotten a new boss.

The new boss was none other than Jin Chuzheng, whom he had planned to fire.

Director Luo was scared stiff, his legs trembling and scalp tingling.

Before Director Luo had a chance to rectify the situation, the announcement from the HR department came out.

Without any subtlety, it bluntly stated that Director Luo had harassed female employees during working hours, had behaved deplorably, and had taken advantage of his position for personal gain…

Director Luo was dismissed, and it was a shameful expulsion from the company.

The intern from the creative department suddenly became the company boss, which now made a lot of people feel the pressure.

They all began to recall if they had ever offended her.

Those from other departments were better off, as they didn’t have much contact with her.

But it was tough for those in the creative department.

Especially for the ones who had gossiped behind her back, every moment was torture.

However, they waited for several days and did not receive any sort of news, as if Chuzheng had forgotten about them.

Chuzheng did want to fire the whole lot of them.

The former president, shaking with worry, tried to stop her, saying the creative department was essential, and to fire everyone would be a heavy blow to the company.

This company was his life’s work, and even though he had sold it, it should not be thrown into such turmoil.

The former president was close to tears.

Chuzheng was a bit afraid that the former president would just up and leave, which would be too troublesome for her to find someone else to manage things, so she reluctantly gave up that plan.

Chuzheng: “…”

Afterward, Chuzheng realized that something wasn’t quite right—she wasn’t here to make money!

–

On the other hand, Xiao Ze had been waiting for a long time without receiving any news.

“What’s the news from the advertising company?”

Xiao Ze asked his colleague. It had been so many days, how could there be no reaction at all?

“I don’t know, they haven’t contacted us,” his colleague said. “You’d think a company with a reputation would avoid making such a mistake, wouldn’t you?”

Xiao Ze did not take up this topic: “You contact them, and ask how they’re handling it.”

The colleague sighed, “All right. Oh, by the way, a beautiful woman with the surname Ning was looking for you, and she left you this.”

The colleague pointed to something on the desk, smiling with some ill-intention: “Impressive, eh? You’ve got a new beauty pursuing you so quickly? If you ask me, this beauty isn’t too bad. You should stop hanging on to the past and let go. She already put a green hat on you, and you’re still hung up on her—that’s just—what do you call it?”

The colleague patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder and left.

A while back, when Xiao Ze was in a bad mood, they had taken him out for drinks and only then found out that Xiao Ze had been dumped, and his girlfriend even cheated on him.

Xiao Ze had never introduced them to his girlfriend, but Xiao Ze had a rather sweet girlfriend.

Nobody expected such an outcome.

Xiao Ze looked at the item on the desk, his mind seemingly elsewhere.

A few minutes later, the colleague returned with a strange look on his face.

“Xiao Ze…”

“What’s going on?”

“The ad company… they say they’re going to sue you.”

Xiao Ze felt a pang of dread.

–

“President Jin,” Wan Xiaoxiao peeked her head through the door of the office, “Xiao Ze is downstairs asking to meet you.”

“Meet me for what? Looking for trouble?”

Wan Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed; she was still a bit dazed about how she had become an assistant.

They were both interns.

How had her friend suddenly become the company boss?

It was more incredible than a TV show.

Wan Xiaoxiao asked cautiously, “So… do you see him or not?”

“Don’t see him.”

Why should I meet with any riffraff? I don’t have that much time.

“…”

Wan Xiaoxiao excused herself and left.

The first thing Chuzheng did upon taking office was to dismiss Director Luo, the lecher.

The second was to terminate the business collaboration with Xiao Ze’s company and to sue Xiao Ze for fraud.

Of course, Wan Xiaoxiao felt that Chuzheng was just trying to scare Xiao Ze.

Because Chuzheng hadn’t actually looked for a lawyer, she had just had someone say that to the advertising company.

At that time, Xiao Ze, paying no attention to what Chuzheng was doing, sought information from another person, also an intern. If he could bribe that person and then change his own story, insisting they had misheard, the advertising company would have to give him an explanation.

The company would not give up his business over two interns.

So, in the end, it would be they who would be out of luck.

Xiao Ze was well aware of the immense effort Chuzheng had put into seizing this internship opportunity.

As long as he remained silent, he believed she would come asking for his help sooner or later.

But Xiao Ze hadn’t anticipated that things would turn out like this.

After making some inquiries, he found out that the advertising company had changed hands.

And that the new owner was his ex-girlfriend.

This was something Xiao Ze found hard to accept.

It was even harder for him to accept than knowing she was involved with someone else.

Chuzheng wouldn’t see Xiao Ze, but he wouldn’t leave either, just waiting downstairs.

“Is that dog… Xiao Ze still there?”

Chuzheng asked Wan Xiaoxiao.

“…Yes.” What dog? Was she about to curse? Wan Xiaoxiao didn’t dare ask, “President Jin, perhaps you should see him after all. This standoff isn’t leaving a good impression.”

She feared that otherwise, it might lead to more unpleasant rumors.

After some thought, Chuzheng decided, “When there are fewer people in the company, call him up.”

“Alright.”

Wan Xiaoxiao went out, keeping an eye on the staff as they left for the day. However, most of them didn’t leave, as they were all working overtime on a project.

Chuzheng was growing impatient.

She flung the door open and went out.

“What are they doing? Not leaving after work?” Chuzheng inquired.

“Working overtime,” replied Wan Xiaoxiao.

“Overtime for what? Who authorized it?” Chuzheng’s authoritative presence was fully unleashed, “Tell them all to leave work now.”

Wan Xiaoxiao: “…”

Employers wish their staff could work 24 hours a day.

Wan Xiaoxiao conveyed the message.

A group of people were left dumbfounded.

But if the boss said to leave and not work overtime, of course they were happy, and they scattered in an instant.

“The boss is awesome!”

“Long live the boss!”

After the crowd had dispersed, Chuzheng instructed Wan Xiaoxiao, “Go turn off all the surveillance cameras.”

Wan Xiaoxiao was shocked, “President Jin… what are you planning to do?”

Chuzheng gave her a cold look, “Just do it.”

Feeling intimidated by Chuzheng’s gaze, Wan Xiaoxiao subconsciously obeyed.

–

Xiao Ze was brought into the office.

The woman sat behind the desk, her long, straight legs crossed and resting on the edge of the desk. From her position, she looked as though she was sitting on a throne.

Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but her demeanor had transformed her completely.

Cool and indifferent, dignified and elegant.

There was a peerless beauty, secluded in the empty valley.

“Chuzheng,” Xiao Ze hastened forward, his tone urgent and confused, “what on earth are you doing? What’s going on here?”

He had visited her home since high school.

Her parents were just ordinary teachers.

They could only be considered a middle-class family.

How did she suddenly become the owner of a company?

The woman behind the desk responded coldly, “What brings you here?”

Xiao Ze remembered the pressing issue at hand, “You’re suing me?”

Chuzheng answered with righteous indignation, “You committed fraud and defamation, why shouldn’t I sue you?”

“Fraud and defamation?” Xiao Ze frowned, “When did I commit fraud and defamation?”
