Chapter 235: Chapter 0235: Teach Him a Lesson

"Finance Department Manager?"

The middle-aged woman gave Chu Ge a strange look but said nothing.

However, several other younger employees began to laugh at Chu Ge, especially the male staff, their faces filled with undisguised mockery.

"Hahahaha, Finance Department Manager? I might as well say I’m the company’s Vice President." A young man glanced at Chu Ge, and his eyes swept over Dong Lili with a sneer: "In this society, men are judged not by their looks, but by their capabilities. It’s good to have spirit if you lack abilities. But if you have no capabilities and still talk big, women will look down on you!"

While he said this, the young man’s gaze frequently darted towards Dong Lili, making it obvious that his words were not really directed at Chu Ge, but rather meant for Dong Lili.

After glancing at him, Chu Ge paid no further mind; after all, with his current poise and status, he had no reason to care about the idle chatter of these minor characters.

It was the middle-aged woman who sighed, patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, and said: "Young man, it’s good to have ambitions, but you shouldn’t aim too high beyond your reach."

Even Dong Lili looked somewhat disappointed at Chu Ge and pursed her lips without speaking further.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Chu Ge couldn’t help but feel both amused and frustrated. What’s wrong with the world these days? Why doesn’t anyone believe the truth anymore?

But he wasn’t about to explain anything. Shaking his head, he asked the middle-aged woman, "Then could you tell me where the manager’s office is?"

As he said this, Chu Ge also felt a bit embarrassed.

Having been employed for nearly half a month, and yet he still couldn’t find his own office...

However, the fleeting embarrassment on Chu Ge’s face, to the others, appeared as the awkwardness of someone who had talked too big and couldn’t back it up.

The young man who spoke earlier suddenly burst into laughter, pointing down the corridor: "Oh, the manager’s office? It’s over in..."

"Xiao Zhang!" The middle-aged woman suddenly frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Are you trying to get him killed? President Mu specifically instructed that as long as the manager isn’t here, nobody is allowed into the Finance Department Manager’s office. What if this young man really goes in there, and someone sees him? He’d lose his job."

With that, the middle-aged woman sighed: "You all just passed the assessment to get into the company not long ago. You know how hard it is to get in. Would you really be able to live with yourselves, making someone lose their job over a joke?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman’s words, everyone fell silent, and the young employee who had been mocking Chu Ge didn’t say another word.

After all, he was merely interested in Dong Lili; he wasn’t really a bad person.

"Alright, young brother, trying to show off in front of a pretty lady isn’t shameful, it’s human nature. Hurry back now, it’s already time to start working." The middle-aged woman patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, ready to push him out of the room.

Who would have thought that Chu Ge would look her in the eye and seriously say, "I really am the Finance Department Manager... Could you please tell me where the manager’s office is?"

"You..."

The middle-aged woman looked at Chu Ge somewhat speechlessly. This young man seemed quite decent, but why wouldn’t he listen to reason?

"Young man, didn’t your elders tell you it’s alright to show off, but not to overdo it?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Only to see the portly Sun Yinglong with his hands behind his back, striding towards Chu Ge, his face wearing a mocking smile.

Upon seeing Sun Yinglong, the gathered employees all showed a terrified expression as if they had seen a ghost—a clear sign that this fat man had long established his authority.

Seeing the look on everyone’s faces, Sun Yinglong nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, and bellowed, "What are you all huddling together for? Not working? Get back to work immediately. If today’s targets aren’t met, no one gets to leave work!"

Hearing this, the employees dared not linger any longer and all returned to their posts.

Only the middle-aged woman glanced worriedly at Chu Ge as she left but said nothing. She finally sighed, shook her head, and walked away.

"Hmm." Sun Yinglong chuckled then looked at Dong Lili, "That, Dong Lili, come to my office!"

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Dong Lili’s face turned pale, her hands clenching the hem of her clothes tightly, biting her lips to death.

"What are you standing there for? Do you still want your job? There’s been an issue with your recent work attitude. I need to give you some guidance individually. If you don’t want to be fired, come over here right away!"

As Sun Yinglong scolded her, Dong Lili trembled, eventually standing up shakily, her eyes glistening with tears.

However, before she could take a step, a large hand reached out from behind and landed on her shoulder, "Let me talk to him."

"Ah—" Dong Lili turned her head and stared blankly at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge gave her a casual smile, "It’s not ancient times anymore, with officials holding the power of life and death. Why grovel to him? Get back to work; I’ll head over."

After saying that, Chu Ge had already walked past Dong Lili towards the doorway.

Watching Chu Ge’s tall figure, Dong Lili’s eyes reddened again and she murmured softly, "Thank you."

Outside, Sun Yinglong was leaning against the wall smoking. Seeing Chu Ge come out, he was taken aback and looked towards the doorway.

"No need to look." Chu Ge’s voice was tinged with a chill, "It’s just me. I told Dong Lili to go back to work."

For some reason, Sun Yinglong suddenly felt a nameless chill rise up his spine as if the person staring at him was not a man but a hungry wolf!

"What the hell are you doing out here? What authority do you have to make decisions for me?" Sun Yinglong stepped back, away from the terrifying aura of oppression, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and said to Chu Ge with a vicious look.

"Because, I am the manager of the finance department," Chu Ge said to him calmly.

"Manager of the finance department?"

Sun Yinglong eyed Chu Ge closely, suddenly bursting into loud laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha——Ha ha——You really got some nerve, huh? You think a tabby cat can become a tiger?" Sun Yinglong abruptly restrained his laughter, staring at Chu Ge viciously.

Chu Ge looked at him coldly, without a word.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind Sun Yinglong, "Lao Long, what’s going on? Giving a lecture?"

Sun Yinglong turned his head and immediately cracked a smile, "Yo, Lao Zhao, how’s it going? How was the girl last night?"

"Heh heh, not bad at all," the two men exchanged glances, both showing a lecherous smile.

"This kid, coming to the finance department bright and early, claiming he’s the manager. He’s really got some nerve. If I don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll really start to think I, Sun Yinglong, am made of clay?"
