Chapter 498: Loving You All This Time (8)

At that moment, a few colleagues who were still present couldn’t resist staying as they wanted to have a good laugh and were worried for Zhang Tingting.
Zhang Tingting was young and lively, simply saying whatever came to her mind. Now, everyone was apprehensive.
Mi Nuo scoffed, “Zhang Tingting, what did you say just now?”
Immediately, Zhang Tingting started trembling out of guilt as she swallowed. “Di-Director Mi…”
“You were saying that I’m inferior to her?”
Clenching her fists, Mi Nuo shot cold looks at her. Everyone felt a little fearful as someone who seldom got angry had flared up.
Zhang Tingting swallowed again. “I-I didn’t mean it that way. Director Mi, I…”
“Then what did you mean?!”
Zhang Tingting was panic-stricken. Her eyes darted around before they landed on Zhuang Nainai at last. She had wanted to say something, but as she thought of the relations.h.i.+p between Zhuang Nainai and Mi Nuo, she instantly looked down and let out an inaudible sigh.
Sh*t!
The relations.h.i.+p between Nainai and Mi Nuo was already rather estranged. Right now, she surely wouldn’t risk worsening the relations.h.i.+p just for her intern.
Zhang Tingting was so antsy that tears were going to flow out of her eyes. Just when she was at a complete loss for what to do, she heard Zhuang Nainai say, “Director Mi, Zhang Tingting didn’t mean what she has said, so don’t take it too heart.”
Zhuang Nainai really did not want to have a face-to-face confrontation with Mi Nuo, but she had reprimanded her employee in front of her, which showed that she had not given her any face.
This happened at work. Furthermore, Zhang Tingting was indeed naive and unfiltered, but everything else about her was good. Hence, Mi Nuo was going slightly overboard to reprimand her just for something she had said.
As soon as Zhuang Nainai finished speaking, Mi Nuo scorned, “Did she really not mean what she has said or does Leader Zhuang feel so too? Do you think that you deserve more than a Leader position? By saying that I’m inferior to you, doesn’t that mean that you are eyeing my position? If all of you are not satisfied with me holding the Director position, just be honest! The human resources are arranged by the company and Mr. Si has also personally appointed me as Director! So, all of you think that Mr. Si made the wrong decision?!”
Logically speaking, this trivial matter could have been resolved if both parties apologized. However, Mi Nuo blew things up, escalating the issue to them being unhappy with Mr. Si.
Colleagues in the surrounding were all holding their breath with rapt attention, too scared to utter a word.
Even Zhang Tingting dared not cry anymore. She just stared at Mi Nuo in bewilderment with her big, clear eyes.
Zhuang Nainai thought that her words were ridiculous.
This Mi Nuo used Mr. Si as her s.h.i.+eld way too often. She had really not wanted to argue with her, but even if they really confronted each other, she wouldn’t be afraid!
She had unknowingly set so many traps for herself. She would be dumb if she did not rebut her!
Zhuang Nainai stepped forward and blocked the death stare Mi Nuo was shooting Zhang Tingting. Moments later, she said, “Tingting was only telling me Director Mi has won an award on ‘Star.’ She said that you are inferior to me because your recent designs have not been very stellar. May I ask if she has said anything wrong?”
Mi Nuo did not expect her to be so aggressive. She even said her piece so frankly. She suddenly choked as she stepped forward, “You…!”
Zhuang Nainai raised her head. “If you do have good designs, don’t drag them. Why must we wait for TZ to return before we start working on the Imperial Group’s winter design drafts? You should know that apparels are made available for sale in advance. But this year, the Imperial Group’s winter apparels were sold one month later than our compet.i.tors’!”
