Zhuang Nainai gave Ji Chen a piece of her mind, then, without waiting for a reply, she hung up.

―

Ji Chen was holding his cell phone on the top floor and felt terrible after the call.

Madam, what did you want me to do?

To tell Mr. Si?

Ji Chen glanced at Si Zhengting’s office, then hurriedly averted his gaze. He was definitely not going to put himself in such a position.

But… what had Madam said?

That “blasted reflection”? Copying the company’s rules and regulations a hundred times?

What nonsense was that?!

Initially, Ji Chen’s job had been to take care of Si Zhengting and to carry out his orders, back when he was a younger man. He had made a lot of mistakes back then, but Si Zhengting had never harped on them. However, in this short period of time, he had made two mistakes consecutively. Mr. Si had been upset with him as a result. Both of these mistakes were somehow related to Zhuang Nainai.

Thus, Ji Chen knew that Sir could be magnanimous about some other things, but matters concerning Madam…

Ji Chen didn’t dare dawdle on the matter. He hurriedly began his investigation.

And after Ji Chen heard that Mi Nuo had punished Zhuang Nainai by asking her to copy the company’s regulations a hundred times, he felt ill!

Sir had protected Madam to certain extents! He could bully Madam, and Madam could even betray him, but if someone were to bully Madam…

Ji Chen s.h.i.+vered, and he hurriedly left for Mi Nuo’s office.

When Mi Nuo saw Ji Chen standing before her, she went rigid with shock.

As Ji Chen approached, he began his verbal a.s.sault against her. “How are you handling your matters?! I thought that you were an intelligent person, that’s why I vouched for you to take on this directorial position. The way you handled matters in the past was pretty reliable, but why is it becoming so slipshod recently! There are many more people who are more capable and talented than you are in the design department! You are more than aware of why Mr. Si had promoted you to your current position at the company! It’s because the company needs fresh minds, that’s why you were promoted in the first place! If you no longer want this position, you can tell me directly. There will definitely be someone who is willing to replace you!”

Mi Nuo’s chest was heaving with fury at this verbal a.s.sault. She lowered her head. Although her expression made her look as though she was humbly accepting Ji Chen’s tirade of words, her hand was tightly clenched in her pocket!

It had been a few years since she had been scolded so severely in person!

In the past couple of years, her life had been smooth-sailing, and she had forgotten all about such unpleasant matters.

She was not from a reputable family. She grew up in a village and her family was poor. She had been treated with contempt whilst growing up by people with wealthier backgrounds; thus, she had sworn back then that she would definitely be an outstanding person in the future. However, she was being scolded yet again, and it was all because of Zhuang Nainai, that b*tch!

Mi Nuo took in a deep breath, then she lifted her head, the rims of her eyes red. She suppressed her fury and only let her aggrieved expression show. “Executive a.s.sistant Ji, I know that I’ve only been able to take on my current role as a Director with Mr. Si’s support. But what have I done wrong exactly?”

Ji Chen choked, then replied, “I heard that you punished a few employees in your department at the meeting that was conducted earlier today?”

Mi Nuo nodded, continuing to look wronged. “Didn’t Mr. Si say earlier this morning that they were too free? He was unhappy that they were gathering around to gossip, so I was going to stop my employees from doing that. Was there anything wrong with that?”

Ji Chen choked again. He paused before he replied, “But the people you are referring to are those who were gossiping about Zhuang Nainai. What did you punish Zhuang Nainai for?”

When she heard this, Mi Nuo’s fists clenched again.

So this was the reason.

Zhuang Nainai had told on her behind her back, then?

But weren’t Mr. Si and Zhuang Nainai… on bad terms now?
