Chapter 155: Chapter 0155: It’s Over Now

In the interview room, Mu Bingtong fanned herself next to her mouth while eating, "This...she bought something way too spicy!"

Chu Ge had long known that Mu Bingtong couldn’t handle spicy food, but he didn’t expect her taste buds to be so sensitive; these few boxes of food contained only a little bit of chili powder.

"I’m going to get a glass of water!" Finally, Mu Bingtong could no longer endure it, picked up a water cup and walked to the water dispenser in the corner of the room.

At the same time, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Chu Ge paused while chewing and looked at the middle-aged man who walked in, saying, "Uh, you’re late; the interview time has already passed. Please come back tomorrow."

The manager of the publicity department may have the title of a manager, but he’s not really a part of the company’s upper echelon. At least, during the company crisis the day before yesterday, he had not seen Zhang Chengsheng’s shadow in the conference room.

"What an imposing interviewer!" Zhang Chengsheng scoffed. He had only heard of Chu Ge’s reputation but had never actually met him. Thus, seeing a young man around twenty-something eating in the seat, he instantly felt emboldened.

Faced with the sudden accusation, Chu Ge didn’t react for a moment. It was only when Zhang Zhiyuan stood up behind him with a cold smile that Chu Ge put down his chopsticks, nodded and said, "I get it now. You must be Zhang Zhiyuan’s uncle, the publicity department manager Zhang Chengsheng?"

It didn’t take much to realize what was going on—it was clear that after making trouble with the junior, an elder has come forward to take up the cause.

"Who I am is not important." Zhang Chengsheng, obviously much more mature than Zhang Zhiyuan, sneered at Chu Ge, avoiding the previous question and said, "As the lead interviewer, first, you’re eating in the interview room, and second, you eliminated a potential exceptional talent from the company due to personal grievances. Your actions have seriously violated the company’s rules and regulations!"

"So what now?" Chu Ge simply stopped eating, pushed the bowl forward, and propped up his chin with both hands on the table: "Are you planning to fire me?"

"You..."

Choked by Chu Ge’s words, according to Zhang Chengsheng’s expectations, Chu Ge should have started panicking by now. He would then threaten and tempt him, and the matter would be easily resolved.

However, Chu Ge’s current reaction was that of a complete foolhardy youngster, not considering the severity of the consequences... How did such a greenhorn become the lead interviewer?

"I don’t have the authority to fire you, but if I report this to President Mu, it might be a different story!" Zhang Chengsheng snorted coldly, looking at Chu Ge.

Hearing this, a look of pleasure crossed Zhang Zhiyuan’s face as he said to Chu Ge, "I’ve told you before, don’t make this difficult for me, so we can all be well. Now, heh, it’s too late for regrets!"

Reporting to Mu Bingtong was just a bluff, but this kid was just a lead interviewer. As long as his uncle spoke to a few high-level executives in the company, he believed there were countless ways to make Chu Ge’s position in the company untenable.

Just as Zhang Zhiyuan was about to add more, a voice suddenly came from behind Chu Ge: "Report to me? Okay, go ahead."

Mu Bingtong, holding a water cup, came over and sat down next to Chu Ge.

The whole room suddenly became quiet!

Zhang Chengsheng stared dumbfoundedly at Mu Bingtong, looking as if he’d just seen a ghost; truth be told, he couldn’t figure out for the life of him... why was President Mu here?

Zhang Zhiyuan was not a fool. He first glanced at his uncle’s expression, then took a cursory glance at Mu Bingtong’s devastatingly beautiful features, and compared it to the rumors about the beauty that outshone all of Shanghai... The identity of this lady in a women’s suit was self-evident.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiyuan’s face also turned somewhat pale.

There was no denying that Zhang Chengsheng was an old hand. After merely a few seconds of stun, he quickly adjusted his emotions and coughed before saying, "President Mu, how come you’re here? If you haven’t had dinner, I happened to have booked a big table at the restaurant outside, would you do me the honor?"

"No need." Mu Bingtong showed no intention of saving his face, saying directly, "I’m almost full too. Didn’t you say you had something to report to me just now? Go ahead and speak."

"I..." Zhang Chengsheng opened his mouth, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat.

What to say now? His actions before were purely aimed at putting pressure on Chu Ge in order to get him to agree to let Zhang Zhiyuan enter the company; it was nothing short of a shady deal that couldn’t be exposed to the light.

And now, the Chairman of Jinxiu Group, known as the ice queen Mu Bingtong, was sitting right here in person. What more could he say?

"Not going to talk?" Mu Bingtong took a few sips of tea, finally relieving the burning in her throat, and put down the teacup. Looking at Zhang Chengsheng, she said, "Then allow me to speak on your behalf."

"As the manager of the publicity department, not only have you not actively contributed to the company, but you have also attempted to use your position to profit personally, and apply personal connections to push your own nephew into the company. The chief examiner rejected your request, so you brought your nephew to confront him personally, preparing to use some fabricated charges to frame him into submission. Am I right?"

Mu Bingtong delivered these words with a light and breezy tone, however, Zhang Chengsheng’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Chu Ge picked up his bowl again and continued to eat leisurely while watching the changing expressions of the two people at the door with interest.

"President Mu, you must be mistaken about something!"

Zhang Chengsheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained while making eyes at Zhang Zhiyuan beside him.

At this point, whether or not Zhang Zhiyuan could enter the company was no longer the issue. It was a crisis about whether he himself could even continue to stay in the company!

"A misunderstanding?" Mu Bingtong let out a cold laugh, "When Manager Zhang entered the room just now, it didn’t seem like a misunderstanding. Proud and confident, as if you were in the right, you must have been quite sure of yourself, having caught some kind of leverage, right?"

"I..." Zhang Chengsheng fell silent for a moment before turning his gaze towards Chu Ge, "This chief examiner..."

"Let me reintroduce myself." Suddenly, Chu Ge smiled at him and took out another badge from his pocket, pinning it to his chest with a clip, "My name is Chu Ge, HR Department Manager and part-time chief examiner."

HR Department Manager!

These five words were like a heavy blow, leaving Zhang Chengsheng’s mind in total disarray. He stared at Chu Ge incredulously, his lips trembling a few times: "HR... HR Department Manager?"

"That’s correct." Mu Bingtong glanced at Chu Ge, her lips curling slightly, "The appointment was just made the day before yesterday, so we haven’t had time to announce it."

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at his uncle with some concern and saw him swaying slightly, mumbling non-stop.

If you listened closely, you could hear Zhang Chengsheng repeating the same sentence.

"We’re totally screwed now!"
