Chapter 210: 179 Sun Qing’s Day is not Peaceful (1st Update)_1

By the time Tang Su had finished washing her hair, there had been no word back from Sun Qing.

What Tang Su didn’t know was that throughout the day today, her life with Lu Han had been scrutinized back and forth by several elders, putting her through deep waters and hot fires.

Sun Qing’s day was no less exciting.

In the morning, after setting her brand-new life goals, Sun Qing, humming a tune, was in a great mood as she went to work.

During work hours, Lei Lai did not show up at their company’s entrance, which did not surprise Sun Qing, after all, no matter how much Lei Lai wanted to stand up for her sister, she was a woman with a job and a family and couldn’t have so much spare time to cause her trouble.

Besides, if Lei Lai really wanted to persist in this matter endlessly, Sun Qing was not afraid; she could definitely give Lei Lai a taste of her own medicine.

Lei Lai had her job to think about, and compared to her job, Sun Qing suspected Lei Lai would be more worried about the negative impact at her own workplace, right?

Anyway, who’s afraid of whom?

However, it wasn’t Lei Lai who came looking for trouble with Sun Qing, but Lei Wei’s sugar daddy did.

That elder, who was only a tad taller than her grandfather and held in high esteem, had a happy family life and yet maintained an affair with Lei Wei, a woman of his own generation.

It was simply outrageous.

To describe such a man as a "beast in human clothing" is truly an insult to the word "beast."

When Zheng Cheng came to her, he didn’t suggest discussing it privately in the office; instead, he commanded her in front of all her colleagues, using his senior position, "Sun Qing, put your work aside and take a couple of days off from work."

Sun Qing was slightly stunned; then, being no stranger to bluffs, she remained motionless, with no intention to take her work badge or shut down her computer, "Why? Director Zheng, may I ask if I did something wrong?"

"Did something wrong? You don’t know?" Zheng Cheng frowned and retorted.

His face, already unpleasant to look at, scrunched up even more, "This girl is really a tough thorn to deal with. Does she not realize what she’s done, who she’s offended? Not keeping a low profile but being so conspicuous. Does she really think no one dares to touch her?"

Does she think nobody can handle her just because she believes she’s well-versed in the supposed company policies?

This young lady is too young and apparently hasn’t been battered by society yet, has she?

Otherwise, how could she be so naïve?

The key point is that reason doesn’t work on her.

"I’m unaware, Director Zheng, it would be better if you clarified it for me. Otherwise, if you’re asking me not to come to work for no reason, I think we might need to ask the chairman to help us resolve this."

"..."

Heh, the audacious young lady is even dragging the old chairman into this to threaten him?

What’s the situation at the headquarters now?

The old man is about to be sidelined by him taking charge—she’s still thinking of asking the chairman to seek justice for her?

The chairman can’t even manage his own household matters, not controlling his son, grandson, or granddaughter well, and with his advancing age, what qualifies him to manage company affairs?

It’s absurd.

Sun Qing, seeing that Zheng Cheng wasn’t speaking, thought that by bringing up her grandfather, she had managed to intimidate the guy.

Little did she know that Zheng Cheng was just silently watching her make a fool of herself.

"Fine, take off your work badge and go home to wait for further notice. This is a company, not a police station. The time you spend squatting at home simply means no salary, but you’re free to go wherever you like, no one will stop you."

Zheng Cheng was deadly serious, utterly indifferent to Sun Qing’s threats.

Sun Qing was momentarily dumbfounded. Just as she was about to say something, the manager of the branch office, who usually stayed out of affairs, finally came out of his office to mediate the dispute.

He first soothed Zheng Cheng, telling him not to be too angry. Then, in front of Zheng Cheng, he berated Sun Qing thoroughly. In the end, after much coaxing, he convinced Sun Qing not to rush back home.

Although Sun Qing wasn’t sent home, Zheng Cheng warned everyone before he left that Sun Qing must not interfere with anything involving company secrets, including printing documents.

In other words, while Zheng Cheng didn’t kick her out of the company, he discreetly alerted all colleagues that aligning themselves with Sun Qing was a futureless endeavor.

However, Zheng Cheng had underestimated human nature.

Zheng Cheng belonged to Lei Wei’s faction, and Lei Wei’s reputation was not good among the company’s rank-and-file employees.

So, apart from those who really depended on their modest monthly salary to feed their families and truly dared not engage with Sun Qing, the younger ones didn’t care at all about Zheng Cheng’s warning and continued to chat and laugh with Sun Qing.

Sun Qing wasn’t upset. After all, as long as she stayed at the company and clocked in on time every day, finance had to pay her, which was bound to infuriate Zheng Cheng.

Initially, Sun Qing wanted to call her grandfather to complain about Zheng Cheng, but in the end, she resisted. The period for their wager was only halfway through, and making that call would be akin to admitting defeat, wouldn’t it?

No, she had to handle things herself without troubling the old man in the family.

Sun Qing held back, curious to see what tricks Zheng Cheng might pull next. After all, her plan was to sit tight and respond unflinchingly to all changes.

After having manager He Wei convince him, Zheng Cheng temporarily left the company.

Soon after, He Wei called Sun Qing to his office and lectured her from the standpoint of someone who had been around. "Sun Qing oh Sun Qing, who gave you such ridiculous gall?"

"Manager He, I was born this way; I don’t need anyone to give it to me," Sun Qing replied nonchalantly.

She knew what He Wei was trying to do – nothing more than convincing her to soften up to Zheng Cheng.

In his view, Zheng Cheng was one of the head office’s people, and even a favorite of the chairman, but what he didn’t know was that the woman in front of him was the chairman’s beloved granddaughter.

Comparing a favorite with a beloved granddaughter, which carried more weight?

Seeing that his words made no impact, He Wei continued his lecture without relenting. "Sun Qing, I might have saved you this time, but I may not be able to do it the next. If it weren’t for your diligent work every day, though just a low-level employee, but truly considering the company’s best interest, I..."

"I wouldn’t even bother with you."

He Wei took a deep breath before finishing his sentence.

"..."

Sun Qing frowned as she looked at him. He generally had a low presence as a minor leader. When Sun Qing first came here, she noticed Lei Wei right away. Even at branch meetings, this man who was ostensibly the top executive of the branch office rarely had much to say.

It was typically Lei Wei who took charge, and he would just chime in at the beginning and end with some official remarks.

Initially, Sun Qing didn’t think highly of He Wei at all, feeling that this guy was just slacking off every day, even more complacent than their low-level employees.

He didn’t seem to care about the branch’s performance, never came to the office early to check on whether staff were late or left early; as soon as he arrived, his secretary had to prepare his coffee and bring it in.

Once you entered his office, you could be sure to smell various fragrances, not perfumes but the scent of snacks.

Sun Qing would bet that He Wei’s office was stocked with more snacks than the girls kept in their office drawers for cravings.
