Chapter 210 I am a Director

The poor assistant was almost crying after being scolded. He took small steps and ran to Qi Xu's office with a clang.

"Manager Qi, Director Kuang, I want you to come over."

Qi Xu replied. "Tell him that my mom is the CEO, so I'm older than him, and he has to come see me."

The assistant passed the message back and forth many times, but no one understood the pain she was in.

God, please save me! Why am I always the one who gets hurt when two leaders are fighting each other?

In fact, this is a contest of showing one's power. Whoever bows first will lose.

Qi Xu was not anxious or angry at all. After all, she had just arrived and had plenty of time to waste.

On the other hand, Kuang Xun did not have such good composure. In the end, he was so angry that the words conveyed by the assistant became more and more unpleasant. He could no longer bear it and went to find Qi Xu in person.

"Little girl, you're really capable. How dare you ask me to come see you? You're just a small manager, and you're asking me, a director, to work for you. Who is the boss of the project department?"

From the moment he appeared at the office door, Qi Xu knew that he had won the first battle of dignity.

It seems that this person's concentration and intelligence are just so-so.

In fact, as long as he ignored the assistant and ignored himself, no one could do anything to him. After all, he was the boss of the project department.

But I am just a new rookie, I have no people, no power, and no information. What can I use to fight him?

But he couldn't hold his temper and came to me. That would make things much easier.

Qi Xu smiled and asked him in the gentlest tone.

"Director Kuang? What do you mean by older? Age? I admit that you're older, and I'm younger. Everyone can see that!"

This answer was completely irrelevant. Kuang Xun's anger grew even more intense.

"I'm talking about positions, are you deaf?"

Qi Xu blinked his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes, and he cried to everyone in grievance.

"Director Kuang, how can you speak to a girl so rudely? You're scolding me! It's my first day at work today. How did I offend you? You scold me?"

"Tell me? What did I do wrong?"

Qi Xu's crying made Kuang Xun even more upset. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was this little girl crying?

It seemed as if he bullied her.

And looking at her aggrieved look, it seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice. People who didn't know her would think that he was an unforgivable evildoer who actually bullied such a little girl.

Oh my god, how could he have provoked such a completely unreasonable crybaby! Who could he go to for justice?

Looking for the CEO? The CEO is her mother? Does that make sense?

"Hey so-and-so, stop crying first. Can you please talk properly?"

"I'm going to go through this with you and explain the logic. Let's get everyone's opinions on who should see whom."

Qi Xu was just waiting for him to start talking. The reason he let out the tears was to arouse his guilt in advance, so as to pave the way for him to admit his mistakes later.

"Okay, go ahead and tell me. Let's all judge who should go see whom?"

Kuang Xun didn't dare to be as fierce as before, for fear of scolding her and making her cry again. He spoke to her in a gentle tone.

"Little girl, for President Wen's sake, I won't bother with you."

"I'm going to talk to you about workplace rules now. I'm the director, I'm the boss, and you're just a small manager. So, you have to come to see me. You can't tell me what to do, I can only tell you what to do. Do you understand?"

Qi Xu nodded, then shook his head. He offered a well-reasoned rebuttal.

“I don’t quite understand!”

"Although, you are the director and I am the manager, your position is higher than mine, I admit that."

"But I'm a company director. I own 20% of Shanglin Group. A director is one of the owners. A boss is more senior than a director, so you have to come see me."

"From the boss's perspective, even if you're the director, you're still an employee of our company. Your job is to work for the boss, understand?"

This eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-tooth rebuttal left Kuang Xun speechless.

He asked in disbelief. "You are a director of the company? You own 20% of the shares?"

"Yes!" Qi Xu affirmed firmly. "If you don't believe me, go ask President Wen."

In fact, she currently holds no shares in the Shanglin Group. However, Lin Youqian does. Lin Youqian owns 30% of the company, Grandma Wen owns 10%, and Lin's father owns 20%. The remaining 40% is made up of other small shareholders.

She and Yoga Lin are married, so what belongs to Yoga Lin is hers. 30 percent was too scary, so she deliberately said 20 percent less to avoid exposing her identity.

How could Kuang Xun possibly ask Wen Lan? Even if she did, Wen Lan would definitely stand on her side.

He called the finance department directly to ask whether Qi Xu owned 20% of the shares.

Before coming, Qi Xu had already taken his inherited black card and went to the Finance Department to say hello. So the Finance Manager's answer was.

"Yes, Ms. Qi is the new director of our company. She holds a 20% stake."

Kuang Xun was silent. He could never have imagined that this little girl who appeared out of nowhere was actually the director of the company.

She even calls the CEO "Mom." What's her background? Adopted daughter? Goddaughter? Stepdaughter?

He racked his brains but couldn't bring himself to think about his daughter-in-law. After all, Qi Xu looked too young. Who would have thought that she was already married, and to the prince of Shanglin Group?

"Director Kuang, who do you think is more important, director? Or director?"

Kuang Xun didn't want to talk. If you were just a small shareholder holding less than 5% of the shares, you wouldn't have a say.

But this little girl happened to own 20% of the shares. That gave her not only a say, but also the right to audit the accounts.

He was thinking about how to get away with it.

Qi Xu asked him again pretending to be innocent.

"Director Kuang, you don't understand either? If you really don't understand, I can exercise my director's authority to check the company's accounts. I'm the project manager, so I'll check the project department. So, could you please organize the information I need and let me check it?"

"Thank you! You've worked so hard!"

Kuang Xun was about to explode. This damn little girl, she was clearly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

He looks innocent and ignorant, but in fact, he is smarter than anyone else.

What a show of force! It caught him off guard and made him into a huge, embarrassing joke.

"Oh! Great! What a nice little girl! Should I call you Manager Qi or Director Qi?"

Qi Xu smiled and cleverly used a sentence to turn a jack into a small hammer.

"You can just call me Mr. An from now on. My mother's last name is An, so I took hers. In my own company, everyone calls me Mr. An."

What is going on here?

She calls Mr. Wen "Mom"? How come another "Mom" with the surname An appears?
