"Is it time for the meeting?" She rubbed her eyes, propped herself up, and lazily looked at the person who had woken her up.

"Yes, the heads of all departments are already waiting in the conference room."

Ji Fuying went to the restroom to wash her face, and after tidying up her appearance, she led Xu Nuo to the conference room.

When she arrived at the conference room door, she knew why Xu Nuo's expression was so unpleasant.

"Isn't it a bit hasty to appoint a young woman fresh out of school as general manager?" the man in the blue shirt and glasses said, clearly displeased.

Everyone present was a veteran of the company, and they had all made some achievements within the company. None of them were less qualified than her.

They originally thought the position of general manager would fall to one of them, but unexpectedly a young girl appeared out of nowhere, who was also an intern who had just joined the company.

"That's right. I don't know what methods she used to climb to such a high position."

Another man, dressed in a suit and with a shaved head, was equally resentful of Ji Fuying.

"What can a woman rely on to rise to power? We'll find out soon enough by looking at her."

The man with the pointed head said lecherously, if he wasn't mistaken, the new general manager must be a great beauty.

Apart from these three people who were quite blatant, the others, although they didn't look too happy either, at least didn't speak ill of her in private.

Xu Nuo whispered the identities of the three people in Ji Fuying's ear.

The man wearing glasses is Zhao Zhi, the HR manager, who has been with the company for ten years.

He Jun, the planning department manager with a shaved head, has been with the company for six years and was only promoted to manager last year.

The lecherous one is Xu Zhirong, the purchasing manager. Compared to the previous two, this one is the worst. He often harasses female colleagues in the company in private.

Having ascertained their identities, Ji Fuying swaggered in, clutching the documents, and sat down in her assigned seat.

"My name is Ji Fuying. Today I am taking over the position of general manager. I hope you will all learn from me in the future."

A cryptic smile played on her lips as she continued, "If you have nothing to say to me, then I will say it."

"I don't expect you to be perfect, but you must do it perfectly within your capabilities. If anyone deliberately slacks off and affects the company's interests, I may not be so easy to talk to."

"That's all I have to say. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

It was supposed to be a warm welcome, but they didn't seem too happy, so she didn't feel the need to be overly polite.

As long as they perform their duties and do not make any major mistakes, she will not deliberately make things difficult for them.

"Manager Ji is indeed stunningly beautiful. It's an honor for us to work with you, don't you think?"

Xu Zhirong smiled and looked Ji Fuying up and down, then turned to look at the others with a smug expression.

His eyes seemed to say: See, I told you I was right.

"Looks are given by your parents and don't bring anything to your job. Just like some people who look shifty-eyed can still become managers, don't you think?"

Her words made Xu Zhirong's face flush red instantly, and his hands trembled slightly with anger.

She was clearly mocking me, and I wanted to stand up and refute her, but she didn't name names.

If he stood up, he would be implying that he was being accused, so reason compelled him to suppress his anger and remain silent.

"Anyone else have something to say? If not, let's adjourn the meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone scattered instantly, leaving no one behind.

"Manager Ji, you're amazing."

Xu Nuo gave a thumbs-up in admiration, and with just one sentence, he rendered the most troublesome Xu Zhirong speechless.

You should know that he's someone everyone in the company fears, except for the girls, of course.

Ji Fuying rested her chin on one hand and said casually, "They're all waiting for me to show weakness, waiting to manipulate me. If I'm not assertive enough, they'll think I have connections, and I won't be able to sit securely in this position."

Xu Nuo was a smart person, and she immediately understood her intention after hearing what she said.

But why would she want people to think that she already has someone above her, and that she's the highest-ranking person in the company?

After the meeting, Ji Fuying returned to her office to continue her work.

They had no idea what Li Xiaole and Li Muning were going through because of her departure.
