She had wanted to see either hysteria or desperate pleading shown on her face. However, contrary to her expectations, when she looked over… Zhuang Nainai looked at her and grinned all of a sudden.
That grin was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.
Instantly, Zuo Yiyi thought that she could not bear to look at that smile; thus, she turned around nonchalantly and raised her head haughtily. “Zhuang Nainai is… indeed in the wrong for this matter.”
As soon as those words escaped her mouth, the four people in the room looked at her simultaneously.
Zhang Chaowen smiled triumphantly; even Mi Nuo could not resist smiling.
Frowning, Su Jinhui stepped forward. Before he could say anything, he felt a tug on his sleeves. When he looked down, he realized Zhuang Nainai had grabbed his arm.
Next, Zuo Yiyi started to speak in her usual arrogant, cold, and queenly tone, “All of you must be too idle! Have the design drafts been submitted? Has the location been arranged? So many leaders of the company are arguing incessantly over such a small mistake. Is this what you should be doing after all that the company has invested in you?!”
When she finished speaking, Zhang Chaowen’s face turned gloomy and then pale in an instant.
Even Mi Nuo froze.
On the other hand, Su Jinhui had been prepared to defend Zhuang Nainai, but to his surprise… it turned out like this?
For a moment, everyone in the room was silent.
Glancing at them with an icy stare, Zuo Yiyi set her eyes on Zhang Chaowen and started reprimanding him, “I remember your surname is ‘Zhang,’ am I right? Just hand in your resignation letter if you don’t want to work here anymore! You are so long-winded and love dragging matters. You are even more petty than a woman!”
The scolding rendered Zhang Chaowen utterly speechless.
Meanwhile, Mi Nuo’s lips twitched. When she was about to step forward to say something, Zuo Yiyi changed her target. She eyed Mi Nuo and continued. “And you! As the Director of the design department, how can you allow these people to make a ruckus over this small issue?! If you aren’t capable, just give up your position to someone else!
“What are all of you still waiting for? Are you trying to receive your pay by doing nothing? Get out of here now!”
With her overwhelming aura, she managed to gain control of the situation with her scoldings. Thereafter, she strutted straight out of the room with elegance.
Nobody who was present dared to talk back to her.
Mi Nuo opened her mouth, but she realized that she did not know what to say.
Silence filled the office in an instant.
“Pfft.” Zhuang Nainai laughed out loud. Then, she looked at Zhang Chaowen triumphantly. “… Since Deputy Director has already said her piece, I shall head back to work now.”
With Zuo Yiyi’s words, she did not even need to write “check.”
Zhuang Nainai left Mi Nuo’s office with lighter footsteps, leaving behind the three of them. She happened to see Zuo Yiyi turning a corner in front, so she quicked her steps to catch up with her.
Zhuang Nainai shouted, “Zuo Yiyi!”
Zuo Yiyi stopped in her tracks and looked back. Looking at her arrogantly, she said in an awful tone, “What?”
Zhuang Nainai chuckled. “Thanks!”
Zuo Yiyi snorted and said shortly after, “Don’t think that I did that for you, I…”
“You did it for your Brother Ting, I know.” Zhuang Nainai took the words out of her mouth. “Nonetheless, I still want to thank you!”
“You…” Zuo Yiyi started to feel slightly awkward, and her cheeks seemed to be blushing.
When Zhuang Nainai saw this demeanor that was unlike her usual cold and pale appearance, she suddenly thought of a time in high school.
