Chapter 111: Hold your head high and do it
Her tone softened, but still carried a hint of warning. "You're just an insignificant little character now. What role can you play here?"
He is a factory director, but he was scolded by a former nanny?
This is unbelievable!
What a joke!
His face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and roared angrily, "You're unwilling to make any concessions, right? Then let's see who will have the last laugh!"
He gritted his teeth, his tone full of resentment and threats.
Zhuang Jiaying looked at him coldly, shook his head, then turned around and strode away.
She got into the car, started the engine, slammed the door shut, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the scene quickly.
Chen Yan stood there, looking at her receding figure, and snorted coldly, "Is this person crazy?"
She did not stay for long, holding the audit report tightly in her hand, and went straight to Chen Moli's office to report the latest progress.
Chen Moli took the report, flipped through it carefully, and her eyes stopped at the last page.
The results clearly stated: The factory in charge of Fan Youfa successfully passed the inspection and was ready to go into formal production.
Chen Moli gently handed the document back to Shen Yan, and said calmly and decisively: "Then next, let's prepare to sign the contract."
After hearing this, Shen Yan felt relieved, as if a stone had finally fallen to the ground.
"Finally... it's time to sign!"
She felt excited and couldn't help but smile.
She responded eagerly, "Okay! I'll go back and get the contract ready for stamping and signature!"
According to company procedures, the purchase contract must first be signed and confirmed by the project manager designated by the purchasing department, and then submitted to Chen Moli. Only after she stamps the manor's official seal can the contract be considered officially effective.
So she packed up her things, left the office, and prepared to return to her post to get the contract materials.
But just as she reached the door and before she could push the doorknob open, she heard Chen Moli's voice behind her, "Wait a moment."
She turned around and looked at Chen Moli with a puzzled look.
"I heard that the Third Master will be furious at home tomorrow morning and will directly fire several idlers who like to gossip."
Chen Moli spoke slowly.
Then he added something even more shocking, "Just last night, the Third Master specifically called me and Butler Chen to his study. He said he wanted to transfer you over to be his personal assistant."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Shen Yan's ears.
Her face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard.
"What did you say?"
Her voice was so low that it was almost just a whisper, and she repeated it with a hint of fear and surprise.
Zhu Lanlan glanced at her coldly, frowning slightly, and asked in a questioning tone: "Why? Do you have any objections to my arrangement?"
She had originally brought Chen Yan into the manor with a clear purpose.
She had already found that position for Shen Yan and was just waiting for her to nod and accept it.
If Shen Yan is unwilling to go over now, then all her efforts to bring in new people will be meaningless.
If that were the case, there wouldn't be much point in keeping Shen Yan.
Don't really think that you can come and go as you please in this place, and don't think that Zhu Lanlan is always easy to talk to.
In fact, from the beginning until now, she has been able to tolerate Shen Yan only because she was attracted by her outstanding appearance and was a rare and suitable candidate.
At this moment, Zhu Lanlan's attitude changed, and her tone suddenly became sharp and cold. "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Let me be clear - I specifically arranged for you to be transferred there this time. It was intentional."
"If you have no intention of taking this job, then you can leave now. There is no need for us to say anything more."
When Shen Yan heard this, her face turned pale, a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Assistant Zhu...
What do you mean?”
Zhu Lanlan sneered softly, her eyes cold and sharp, "Don't you understand?"
"I want you to go into the most core area of the manor."
"And it's not about doing those personal things that are criticized by others, but a very critical and serious task. What are you dissatisfied with?"
After she finished speaking, she slowly added, her tone steady but unquestionable, "I'll explain things clearly first, and then I'll explain the subsequent details to you step by step. But once you enter this door, there's no turning back. You can only move forward."
The reason why Shen Yan looked pale just now was not just because she was worried that she might be fired.
The more important reason is that Assistant Zhu, whom she has always respected and trusted, actually had such intentions behind her.
This is not how things should have turned out.
Logically speaking, Assistant Zhu works hard and strives to get promoted, and his goal should just be a higher-level position.
How was it possible that from the very beginning, he had set his sights on her and used her as a stepping stone?
She was lucky enough to escape last night, but what if she really became Zhu Zeyu's personal assistant?
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Going in and out of his place daily, sorting his clothes, putting away every shirt and coat in his closet.
Whether it's stacking them neatly or changing them according to the season, everything must be kept organized.
She also makes the bed every morning to ensure the bedding is smooth and fresh.
Even when he needed someone to serve him, such as serving tea, delivering things, and other trivial matters, they all fell on her.
Will she be able to escape by then?
This is clearly a legitimate assistant's job, so why do I always feel like it will turn into an uncontrollable situation in the end?
If she fell into that trap, would she have no way out?
What’s the difference between that and serving him overnight?
On the surface, it seemed to be just a work arrangement, but the implicit meaning made her unable to help but doubt the motives and purposes behind it.
She once said that she would never do anything that relied on body trade in her life and would not compromise for power and money.
She wants to do things that are upright, work with her head held high in the sun, earn money that she can earn even if she stands, and use her ability rather than anything else to exchange for the due rewards.
Zhu Lanlan gritted her teeth, her eyes sharp, her tone filled with unquestionable intimidation, and she said coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing or not? This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you'll lose it."
Chen Yan was in a state of confusion, with countless thoughts swirling in her mind, her thoughts tangled like hemp.
But at this moment she must calm down, reason is the only weapon she can rely on.
She can't leave now.
It's not just because this matter is complicated, but also because the magic floor-scraping project at hand is still in progress and has not yet reached the final stage.
