Gu Xinze chuckled, “Demoted? You sure are optimistic.”
Dai Yixin’s heart squeezed hard. Her anxiety grew.
What Gu Xinze said next confirmed her fear.
“You used your power inappropriately to cause harm to the CEO. Director Dai, do you want to go to HR for your last paycheck after the party, or do you want to go now? Since you did put effort into your job for a while, I think you deserve the opportunity to enjoy this party.”
Dai Yixin felt dizzy, “I...”
“Director Dai,” Gu Xinze eyed his watch and interrupted her, “We are already 10 minutes behind schedule. Please stop wasting everyone’s time. After all, no matter how much you beg, the result will be the same.”
Dai Yixin’s face turned grey. Her lips formed a small “o” but no words came out.
Everyone watched these two fake sisters suffer the same fate, and they couldn’t help but exclaim that they got what they deserved.
Under Gu Xinze’s orders, a well-dressed MC walked onto the stage and faced the crowd.
“There was a little interruption there, let’s not drag this on any further. Let us start this party! With the warmest welcome, let us welcome our CEO, and our executives, as they come up on stage.”
The MC’s words resulted in thunderous claps.
Gu Xinze and the other executives were at least 25 years old. Despite this, they all watched Qiao Qing starry-eyed, as if they were her biggest fans.
Qiao Qing pursed her lips a little. Then, she shoved her phone into her pocket and left her seat.
Behind her was the line of executives, led by Gu Xinze. The image of all these grown-up men walking behind her was extremely comical.
Once they were on the stage, Qiao Qing walked up to the mic. The MC handed her a draft and said respectfully, “CEO, here’s a copy of your speech.”
Qiao Qing eyed it then said calmly, “There’s no need.”
She then looked forward, adjusted the mic, and started to speak in a cool and clear voice, “Good evening, everyone.”
The crowd wanted to clap but Qiao Qing gestured for them not to.
“The intent of today is to have a giant party. Please feel free to have fun. Plus, in terms of Sky Entertainment’s growth this past year, I will have to thank our amazing team...”
As Qiao Qing started to speak, the unusual and strange gazes from the crowd turned passionate.
After Qiao Qing’s identity as the CEO was announced, everyone was astounded. Even after they calmed down, they were still in disbelief over the fact that the CEO of this company was an 18-year-old girl.
However, right now, they were listening to Qiao Qing’s summary of the company performance and what she’s learned from it. Her words were logical and full of content. It made everyone feel ashamed over their lack of education.
As everyone listened, they started to forget about Qiao Qing’s age. They just felt like this girl was glowing.
Dai Yixin stood in the corner, soullessly. As she watched Qiao Qing speak and garner all the admiration from the crowd, she wanted to drown herself in jealousy.
Qiao Qing had what she wanted!
Dai Yixin was naturally a genius and was smooth sailing in everything she did. No matter what she did, she was the best of the best.
She never doubted for a second that no other woman could be compared to her.
To her, her career was the most important aspect.
Therefore, when she found out that third young master Jun was Qiao Qing’s boyfriend, she wasn’t that jealous.
She really thought that if someone were to stand up there to inspire and educate others, it had to be her.
Yet, the person she looked down on was standing there.
How could she not feel bad?
No longer able to watch and accept this, she turned around solemnly.
At the same time, at the entrance, two crouching men snuck in.
