“Are you so sure that I’m not from this company?” Gu Man looked at the call that had yet to be connected on her phone and confronted the woman with interest.
“How can 1 not know that you’re from this company? I’ve basically seen everyone in the company, but I’ve never seen you.” The woman’s eyes were filled with pride. The reason why she could apply for the front desk position was because of her superb memory. She could basically remember everyone she had met.
She was sure that she had never seen this woman before.
Gu Man sneered. At this moment, the call on her phone was finally picked up. Zhang Li’s anxious voice came from the other end. “Miss Gu, what’s the matter? 1 was delayed by something just now. I’m sorry.”
“Didn’t you train the new employees? She doesn’t even recognize me?” Gu Man ignored the woman beside her and spoke to the other end of the phone with a serious expression.
This was Zhang Li’s negligence. If she softened her expression this time, Zhang Li felt that she would be an easy target.
She did not have much time to stay in the company to begin with, so she had to establish her dignity. Moreover, she had to let Huang Jun come in to manage it later.
The woman standing at the side clearly did not believe that Gu Man was someone with status. From her clothes, she was sure that she was definitely not an executive.
“Stop pretending. Is there a point in pretending like this? Do you think you’re living in the world of novels?” The woman was even about to snatch Gu Man’s phone.
“Xiao Hong?” Zhang Li could tell her identity from the woman’s voice, but her words were filled with confusion. This was because although Xiao Hong had not been in the company for long, she was very smart and good at reading people’s expressions. Therefore, Zhang Li could not believe that the person who stopped Gu Man was actually Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong’s expression froze when she heard this call. She looked at the caller ID on her cell phone in disbelief. It was Zhang Li.
She carefully tried to call out, “Sister Zhang?”
When Zhang Li heard this, she was even more certain that it was Xiao Hong. She expected better from her. She said, “Didn’t 1 tell you before that the higher-ups had changed? 1 told you to be careful usually. Why did you do such a stupid thing?”
Xiao Hong’s face instantly turned pale. She held her cell phone in a dilemma. She widened her eyes and looked at Gu Man, her lips trembling. “I-I’m sorry. I really didn’t know. Please let me go. My family is waiting for me to support them with this job.”
Before Gu Man could say anything, Xiao Hong knelt on the ground and raised the phone above her head, her face full of fear. Her body kept trembling, and tears fell to the ground.
She looked pitiful, but Gu Man narrowed her eyes?
At this moment, there were not many people in the hall, but it was not a small number. This was because everyone was looking over, and Xiao Hong’s attitude directly defined Gu Man as the abuser.
She really did not know if Xiao Hong was really too worried about losing her job or if she had other motives and wanted to morally kidnap her.
However, this act made Gu Man very unhappy.
Although Zhang Li didn’t know what had happened, she could tell from Xiao Hong’s voice that she was indeed a rare talent. Hence, she helped her say, “Miss Gu, Xiao Hong only did it this once. She just didn’t recognize you. In the end, she was just doing her job.”
“Zhang Li, have you forgotten my style of doing things?” Gu Man’s cold voice sounded.
In an instant, Zhang Li, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to her senses. She was instantly incomparably flustered. If she were not outside, she would have flown back to the company.
How could she be so careless? Could it be that Gu Man had not come to the company recently that made her let down her guard? She was still indebted to Gu Man and was actually speaking up for outsiders. Did she not want a promotion or a raise?
Zhang Li felt a lingering fear. Her grip on the cell phone tightened. After a long time, she said, “I’m sorry, Miss Gu. I went overboard in this matter..”
