Lu Anning was thinking about asking Hu Qian to notify the executives of various departments to hold a meeting to discuss the replacement of suppliers. Before she saw anyone, she heard a quarrel coming from the direction of her office.
She walked over quickly and saw that many people were already gathered at the door of the secretary's office to watch the fun.
Hu Qian crossed her arms over her chest and blocked Zhong Ling's way with an arrogant look on her face. The two were about to start fighting.
Hu Qian yelled at the top of her lungs, "Where did you come from? How dare you act so wildly here? Everyone knows I'm CEO Lu's only secretary, and you dare come here and pretend to be me? This is hilarious! Get out of here, or I'll call security to throw you out right now. I don't know what the receptionist is doing. How dare they let anyone in? Don't they have to verify their identity with an access card?"
Lu Anning gave the access card to Zhong Ling to facilitate her going to and from work today, but he did not expect that Hu Qian would make things difficult for Zhong Ling in public.
Zhong Ling had just arrived and naturally didn't want to have a conflict. She explained to Hu Qian in a good mood, but she didn't listen to a word he said.
"How could I not know whether Mr. Lu has hired a secretary? The company's HR department hasn't even met you, and you're lying here. I think you're a spy sent by another pharmaceutical company to steal trade secrets. Stop her! I'm calling the police now and have her arrested."
Zhong Ling frowned. She had heard that Hu Qian was restless, but she didn't expect her to be so arrogant.
"I am indeed President Lu's newly hired special assistant, responsible for all of President Lu's daily work. For the past three days, I have been accompanying her on a business trip to a neighboring city. If you don't believe me, you can call President Lu to verify it. She should be here soon!"
"I don't believe you. You're just trying to delay time."
"Secretary Hu, can't you even wait a little longer? With so many eyes watching me, what can I do?! If I'm lying, I'll be exposed as soon as President Lu arrives. Then you can just send me to the police station. If it's proven that what I said is true, then you must apologize to me."
Hu Qian snorted coldly, "Stop bluffing here. Whether it's true or not, it won't stop you from stealing secrets. Who knows what tricks you'll use? Don't believe her, get her out now!"
Just as they were arguing, Lu Anning walked out from the crowd.
"Special Assistant Zhong is my person, who dares to touch her!"
Hearing the sound, everyone made way for Lu An Ning.
"What's going on?"
When Hu Qian saw Lu Anning, her expression suddenly changed: "Boss Lu, this person insisted on saying that he was your special assistant. No one has ever seen him. I have to be on guard."
"Zhong Ling is my new special assistant. Why, Secretary Hu, do I need your approval to hire someone?"
"Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant."
"If that's not the case, why are you still standing here? Did the company invite you here to watch the fun?"
Lu An Ning's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty. The onlookers quickly dispersed and went about their own business. Hu Qian watched Lu An Ning bring Zhong Ling into the office, helpless.
The moment the office door closed, Hu Qian's eyes darkened.
"Are you okay?"
Zhong Ling smiled and said, "Boss Lu, I can still handle this. I didn't quite believe you when you said Hu Qian was restless before."
Lu An Ning smiled and shook her head: "She won't get in your way. From now on, let her do some things like serving tea and water. I won't let her handle the company's business matters."
Lu Anning immediately contacted the logistics department to help Zhong Ling clean up her office, which was right across from Hu Qian and had better lighting than Hu Qian's office.
At that time, Hu Qian wanted to use that office, but was rejected by Lu Anning. At that time, Lu Anning thought that if Zhong Ling sat there, she would definitely like it. Unexpectedly, she came so soon.
Within five minutes of arriving at work, everyone had received the appointment notice from the Human Resources Department, and everyone realized that Hu Qian would probably not be able to act so arrogantly in the future.
Zhong Ling was personally taken to the Human Resources Department by Lu An Ning to handle the onboarding process. She went in and out, completely ignoring Hu Qian's gloomy face.
However, Hu Qian quickly calmed down.
It’s okay to show off now. I hope she can still smile at the shareholders’ meeting later.
Lu Anning's meeting happened to coincide with Wang Zhiqiang's shareholders' meeting. Lu Anning sneered when he learned about it.
"Since we've bumped into each other, let's open it together! I think the issues we're discussing are pretty much the same, and I'm too lazy to repeat them. I didn't realize that company shareholders have the right to hold a shareholders' meeting without the boss's knowledge."
Lu Anning glanced at Hu Qian who came to deliver the message, picked up the documents and walked towards the meeting room.
"Secretary Hu likes to pass messages to Director Wang, so you can go to Director Wang and be his secretary!"
This casual remark made Hu Qian freeze in place.
She knew that Lu An Ning wanted to drive her away.
The large conference room was packed with executives and shareholders. Aside from the production and R&D departments, who knew the truth and were waiting calmly, everyone else was still worried about the supplier issue. Some even criticized Lu Anning for not focusing on her job, using business trips as an excuse to ignore the company, and questioned her ability to manage the company.
Lu Anning and Zhong Ling pushed the door open and walked in. The meeting room, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.
Several people headed by Wang Zhiqiang exchanged glances with each other and nodded at Wang Zhiqiang. Wang Zhiqiang's confidence increased. He tilted his neck and glanced at Lu Anning. Without waiting for her to sit down, he spoke first.
"Mr. Lu, what a great attitude! I haven't seen you for three days, and the company is in dire straits, but you're not worried at all. You really don't take our lives seriously!"
Lu An Ning glanced at him. He was so eager to attack, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
"Is Director Wang impatient to confront me? I told you I'm going on a three-day business trip, so of course I'm going to solve the problem."
Wang Zhiqiang snorted coldly, "Is the problem solved? I've already contacted those major suppliers, but they won't even answer the phone, let alone express any interest in cooperation. Mr. Lu, there are so many people waiting for food, but not everyone is like you, supported by someone. What do you think?"
