Chapter 89: Get Out Now!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fang Yuan’s patience wore thin as she dismissed Zhao Quan’s attempt at an explanation with a cold and stern “Get out!”
Zhao Quan, however, persisted, trying to stress the importance of his message not only for the company’s future but also…
Fang Yuan cut him off abruptly, showing little interest in his words, and stated firmly, “1 won’t repeat myself a third time. Given your current position, I assume you wouldn’t want the security guards to escort you out, would you?” Gu Panpan was taken aback. What was happening? Was Zhao Quan being too condescending? Yet, President Fang appeared completely unfazed, radiating an air of confidence and poise.
“President Zhao, please proceed,” Wang Ning interjected, making a welcoming gesture.
Suppressing his anger, Zhao Quan shot Wang Ning an angry glare. After closing the door behind him, he impatiently knocked on it, but there was no response from inside.
He knocked for an extended period, growing increasingly impatient. Finally, he couldn’t hold his frustration any longer and vented it on Wang Ning, saying, “Are you mute? Why didn’t you report to your boss when she chose to ignore you? Is the company paying you to stand here like a statue?”
Wang Ning whispered from outside the door, “President Fang, President Zhao is here to see you.”
“I have no desire to see him!” Came a crisp response from inside the office.
This time, Zhao Quan couldn’t contain his irritation any longer. He forcefully pushed the door open and retorted, “If you didn’t want to see me, why did you ask me to knock?”
Fang Yuan lifted her gaze slowly and spoke indifferently, “Did 1 ever imply that I would definitely meet with you if you knocked on the door?”
Perplexed and unhappy, Zhao Quan questioned, “Then what do you mean?”
“As Deputy President, you seem to lack even the most basic manners! Did the company invite you here for a grand show of arrogance? If you’re not satisfied, perhaps you should request the headquarters to give you my position! If you lack the capability, then at least conduct yourself appropriately. Can’t you handle your own issues? What’s the point of coming to me to beg for help?” “You!” Zhao Quan was left speechless and infuriated. He hadn’t expected this young woman to be so assertive. She was proving to be quite challenging to deal with.
Fang Yuan’s firm tone resonated, “You’re welcome to knock on my door once you’ve learned the value of politeness and respect. Now, please leave.”
For a brief moment, Zhao Quan found himself without a suitable retort and departed in frustration.
Gu Panpan, utterly astonished, shifted her gaze from the exit where Zhao Quan had stormed out to President Fang before her. She couldn’t help but think, “What a commanding presence!”
Fang Yuan’s attention returned to the design drafts. “As I was saying earlier, regarding the skirt design and the bubble sleeves, 1 believe it would be better to make these adjustments…”
However, Gu Panpan’s mind was still preoccupied with the strong and confident aura President Fang exuded. She could only swallow hard and wonder when she might become as composed.
Fang Yuan asked, “Do you comprehend my suggestions?”
Gu Panpan snapped back to reality. “Yes, I understand. 1’11 make the changes right away.”
With the design drafts in hand, Gu Panpan left the room. Wang Ning couldn’t help but give Fang Yuan a thumbs up and commented, “President Fang, you handled that masterfully! I’ve been with the company for over a year, and I’ve never seen President Zhao so flustered! You’ve really shown him who’s boss!” Fang Yuan arched an eyebrow. “So, I’m an iron-willed boss, am I?”
Wang Ning hastily clarified, “No, no, no! But President Zhao is known for holding grudges. He might cause trouble for you in the future. President Fang, you need to be cautious around him.”
Fang Yuan chuckled, “You think 1’11 back down if he tries to make things difficult for me? Do 1 appear gullible?”
Wang Ning regarded her with admiration. It was impressive how a young woman like Fang Yuan could be so resolute.
Fang Yuan added, “In the future, don’t let just anyone waltz in here. It can affect your concentration.”
“Understood!”
After Wang Ning departed, Fang Yuan reclined in her chair and casually perused the company’s previous reports.
In that tranquil moment, her phone buzzed repeatedly. She reached for it and noticed WeChat messages from Bo Yi along with a few from her parents. Just as she was about to respond, another knock echoed at her door.
“President Fang, Director He from Human Resources is here to see you,” Wang Ning’s voice, tinged with concern, reached her ears from the hallway.
“Let her in,” Fang Yuan instructed, setting her phone down. She then faced the formidable-looking woman before her, who seemed to be in her twenties with short hair and exuded the aura of a career-driven individual.
“President Fang, your prestige has certainly soared since taking office!” He Jiahui entered the room in a huff and slammed her hands on the desk. “I’ve been with this company since its inception. Now, President Fang, it seems you have the power to dismiss me at will. Is this because your family owns the company? Do you plan to act without accountability? Have you forgotten about our headquarters?” Her gaze bore into Fang Yuan, brimming with dissatisfaction over her decisions.
Several employees who had been discreetly observing from the hallway were taken aback. Was President Fang’s desk something to be pounded on? How dare she confront President Fang like this!
Fang Yuan couldn’t help but notice that her office door was still ajar, and many curious eyes were fixed on her. Wang Ning attempted to usher these onlookers away, but their desire for spectacle outweighed their discretion, and they remained, eager to witness the unfolding drama..
