Translator: 549690339
The atmosphere in the office felt rigid.
Chu Qin furrowed her brows as she observed Song Zhizhi, seemingly taken aback by the sudden assertiveness displayed by Zhizhi.
She then wore a nonchalant expression and coldly retorted, “I don’t see any actions from you!”
“Are you implying, Manager Chu, that a newcomer like me should immediately cause a significant upheaval upon entering Commercial Management? Or are you saying that you, Manager Chu, achieved outstanding results the moment you joined Commercial Management?!” Song Zhizhi rebutted.
Chu Qin clenched her pen, visibly enraged.
Song Zhizhi didn’t hold back, she had always understood that one who is too kind would be victimized.
She continued, “Manager Chu, we come from similar backgrounds. Your father is a CFO and mine a diplomat, and we both entered Commercial Management because of this. Are you questioning my use of privilege because you exploited your own connections to attain your current position…”
“Song Zhizhi!” Chu Qin abruptly stood up from her seat and angrily threw her pen onto the desk.
Song Zhizhi calmly watched her.
‘What kind of attitude is that for a subordinate to show towards her superior?”
“Our superiors are not emperors to whom we must always defer. Even emperors heed sincere advice. Otherwise, won’t they become mediocre rulers?” Song Zhizhi was not backing down.
“Song Zhizhi, you better have skills that match your sharp tongue!” Chu Qin sternly warned, “Get out of here!”
Song Zhizhi didn’t hesitate and turned to leave.
“Close the door behind you!” Chu Qin shouted after her.
Song Zhizhi slammed the door behind her.
The loud sound was even audible to those outside the office.
Everyone watched, trembling, as the fiery-tempered Song Zhizhi stormed out of Chu Qin’s office. Nobody had ever dared to show such temper towards Chu Qin before.
Inside the office, Chu Qin seethed as she stared at the door.
She had disliked Song Zhizhi at first sight.
She had intended to assert her dominance over Song Zhizhi, but the woman was not intimidated at all!
Her eyes flickered as she picked up her phone and dialed, “Song Zhizhi is indeed annoying.”
“Try to get her kicked out.” The person on the other end of the line replied.
“Don’t worry.”
She hung up the phone, her face contorted with anger.
Nobody could ever threaten her position.
Absolutely no one!
Back in the main office area, Song Zhizhi returned to her seat, fuming.
As everyone watched Song Zhizhi, they didn’t even dare to breathe, let alone openly criticize her. Even the colleagues who previously relished throwing her under the bus kept their mouths shut, shaking in fear.
The room was incredibly silent.
All of a sudden, Song Zhizhi stood up from her seat and went over to Li Sheng.
Li Sheng quivered a little as he looked at Song Zhizhi.
Ever since Zhizhi joined the company, she hadn’t really lost her temper before. She always got along well with others, without acting as if she was superior due to her background. Her sudden outburst really took everyone by surprise.
“Li Sheng, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t tell anyone about our conversation last night, including Manager Chu.” Song Zhizhi clarified publicly, “I was indeed criticized by Manager Chu, and I admit that it wasn’t right for us to gossip about others. However, I don’t think Chu’s approach to handling matters as a superior is quite right either. Anyway, we should just keep our heads down and focus on our work from now on.”
Li Sheng jumped in surprise.
She had thought that Song Zhizhi was going to confront her, and didn’t expect it to be an explanation instead. This explanation, oddly enough, came across as rather comforting..
