Chapter 93: 093: Firing the Head Secretary
“I’m sorry, Director Heng. I wasn’t aware that...”
“She told me that they weren’t obligated to inform you about me.” Jing Qian was just telling the truth.
With that, Zhan Yuheng’s face looked bad.
“You were not obligated to inform me?! Zhongbo has spent so much money on you, only for you to giggle and flirt at the front desk? What is your duty as a secretary of the Deputy Director Secretariat?!”
“Director Heng, I truly am sorry. Please give me another chance!”
Although it was quite humiliating, the head secretary didn’t want to lose her job, as she was quite close to some of the senior executives in Zhongbo Entertainment. With this job, she had been able to bring in loads of benefits to her family business.
At this point, she felt remorse.
“I’m asking you, what is your duty? SAY IT!”
Zhan Yuheng was being unforgiving towards the head secretary.
“My duty is to greet clients and enquire if they have an appointment. If they do, I have to bring them to your office and serve them tea and refreshments.”
“And if they don’t have an appointment?” Zhan Yuheng continued to ask.
“If they have come without an appointment, I… I should report to you or your personal assistant to find out if you are willing to meet the client.”
“Well, it doesn’t look like you didn’t understand what your duty was. You were just doing it on purpose towards Jing Qian.”
Zhan Yuheng had put on a powerful aura and was being extremely tough on the secretary. He wasn’t showing any mercy to this beautiful woman.
This was because there was a little fox standing right next to him at the moment. Even without Zhan Lichuan’s protection, he would want to protect her.
He wanted to show the little fox that even without Zhan Lichuan, he would still be able to give her whatever she wanted.
The head secretary noticed that Zhan Yuheng was treating Jing Qian a little differently than he would treat others. As she wasn’t a senior executive, she wasn’t in the meeting before this, which was why she had no idea that Jing Qian was Zhan Lichuan’s wife.
She was only filled with even more sadness and remorse.
The person that she liked before this had become paralyzed before she could confess her feelings. When she finally managed to divert her love and attention to Zhan Yuheng, it was taken away from her by an unknown woman.
“Miss Jing, it’s all my fault and I’m truly sorry. Please have some mercy on me! Could you put in a few good words for me to Director Heng?”
Jing Qian was smiling the entire time, and when she heard this plea from the head secretary, she replied, “Why should I? I’m not obligated to do that for you.”
The head secretary was speechless when she heard such a reply.
The other secretaries around were shocked as well. She was so mean!
“You have neglected your duties as the head secretary. Report yourself to HR and get your pay for this month. You won’t be needed here anymore, starting from tomorrow.”
“Director Heng?!” The head secretary was shocked.
Her family had put in a lot of effort trying to get her this job. They had spent so much money on her, but she was going to leave before she could bring anything back for her family?!
However, Zhan Yuheng no longer wanted to talk to her. He turned to Jing Qian and asked her in a warm, gentle tone, “Qianqian, where are you headed to now?”
“Home.”
“I’ll give you a ride.”
“There’s no need for that, Big brother. I’ll be able to go home by myself. Thank you.”
After rejecting him politely, she turned around and left.
Zhan Yuheng, who was left behind, stared at the elevator for a few more moments before turning around, staring at the secretary with a stern look on his elegant face.
“Why are you still here?” he demanded.
The head secretary bit her lips and wanted to beg for forgiveness, but Zhan Yuheng had already called out to his personal assistant and told him to hire another head secretary.
When Jing Qian left Zhan Yihe’s office, Director He became so frightened that his legs turned soft.
He had thought that she was just a new artist in the company, so why was the executive director of the Zhan family involved in this?
“She… She… Who is she?”
Director He’s eyes were wide open and completely filled with fear.
Chapter 94: 094: All Gone
It wasn’t until Jing Qian left that Zhan Yihe’s face turned extremely ugly looking.
She picked up the crystal ashtray next to her and threw it towards Director He.
Director He dodged it subconsciously, and even though it did not hit him, he felt chills running down his spine.
“Dumbass!” Zhan Yiheng blasted at Director He, screaming at him with no mercy. “This woman is just a new manager that came from another company. Why would you believe everything that she told you? Why would you do all these things just because of the little benefits that it would bring you?!
“If you are on a suicide mission, leave me out of it! Get out! Get out of my office! You will definitely get sued by Zhongbo Entertainment! Just wait for it!”
Zhan Yiheng felt wronged.
Why didn’t she directly bring Jing Qian to Zhan Yuheng’s office instead? Why did she bring her here, into her own office?
As Zhan Yihe was screaming at them, her door was pushed open.
The person who walked in was none other than Yun Zhou, whom Jing Qian met every single day.
“Assistant Yun? You’re...”
You Zhou greeted Zhan Yihe and said, “Director Yi, I was ordered by the Executive Director to pass something to both Director He and Miss Una.”
With that, You Zhou handed four letters to them; He Kaiwei and Una each had two letters.
“The content may be different but they’re actually the same thing. One is a notice of expulsion and the other is a notice of litigation regarding the losses that you have caused Zhongbo Entertainment and Miss Jing Qian. We’ll see you at court.”
He Kaiwei and Una were both so shocked that their heads exploded with a loud ‘boom.’
“Assistant Yun, this isn’t my fault! I had planned on discussing it with Miss Jing but Una was the one who showed me the private agreement that she had with Miss Jing. She told me that she was fully authorized by Miss Jing, which was why I was deceived and agreed with her suggestion.”
Yun Zhou remained polite as he replied. It wasn’t loud but it was harsh.
“Director He, you are 47 years old, not 7 years old. Since you’re working, you should be responsible for your own stupidity.
“As the vice director of the Operations Department, you were easily deceived by a manager, which clearly shows your lack of intelligence. This also reflects that you are not a suitable candidate to be working at Zhongbo.
“However, while you may not be smart, the CEO does think that you are really good at earning money. You have only worked at Zhongbo for 5 years, but you were able to buy 3 houses in H city within such a short period of time.
“This means that you are just dumb when it comes to dealing with the interests of the company. When it is a personal matter, you seem to be quite intelligent.”
The colors on He Kaiwei’s face were completely drained at that point.
He… He had been targeted by the CEO. The CEO even targeted his properties!
These properties… They were obtained through illegal means.
When He Kaiwei realized that he was doomed, he could no longer remain standing and instantly fell to the ground.
Una’s face was also extremely unsightly, and she was fuming with anger.
“Jing Qian was the one who brought me here from Zhongze, which means that I belong to her. She is the one who should be firing me; you have no right to do so!”
Yun Zhou continued smiling, “You have signed a contract with Zhongbo, not with Jing Qian. Your actions have damaged the interest of Zhongbo Entertainment, which is why we have the right to sue you. Miss Una, we have already passed you the lawyer’s letter. Please get yourself a lawyer and prepare the compensation money. Otherwise, you will be in jail for the rest of your life.”
Zhan Yihe was admiring Yun Zhou’s cruel performance, silently thinking to herself that Zhan Lichuan was such a mean person. She was grateful that she wasn’t part of this mess.
Well…
Just as she was silently celebrating her victory, Yun Zhou turned to Zhan Yihe and said, “Director Yi, the CEO thinks that you still lack the knowledge of basic rules when it comes to dealing with matters such as these and making a correct decision. The incident today has shown that you still need more experience, which is why the CEO has decided to temporarily remove you from your position as the Artist Director.”
