Chapter 103 Knocking on the door late at night
Jiang Yimian glanced at her coldly, then looked at everyone: "We've all just started working together, and we'll be working together for many years to come, so I hope you can focus on your work instead of bullying the new intern."
Everyone realized they were referring to Cai Na, since the new interns had been bossed around by her quite a bit.
Feng Nan raised her hand: "Director Jiang, I never form cliques."
Jiang Xingyun: "We have remembered what Director Jiang said. I am now very passionate about my work. This kind of bullying of newcomers only happens to Cai Na."
With the two of them taking the lead, everyone stopped being timid and started to raise their heads.
Cai Na pointed at Jiang Xingyun: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Yimian: "Sister Na, although you are considered a veteran in the design department, Sister Nan and Sister Xingyun have worked at Jiang's for ten years. They are your seniors. Where did you learn such arrogance?"
Cai Na was so angry she felt like her teeth were about to break.
“I think these two series are worth pursuing. The position of deputy director has been vacant for a while, so how about the two teams have a competition?”
Upon hearing this, everyone stirred and became very excited.
Cai Na was agitated. "No, why? This deputy director position is mine."
Jiang Yimian remained expressionless, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes: "The Jiang family isn't something you can call the shots."
"I will apply to my superiors to see who recruited you."
Cai Na slammed her hand on the table. "Jiang Yimian, what gives you the right to order me around like this when you're just a clueless little girl?"
Everyone was startled when they heard her call the director by his name directly, so they lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.
Jiang Yimian leaned back and smiled gently, "Because I am more capable than you, and because I hold a higher position than you."
“Any of your colleagues here is better than you. Interns may not know anything, but they are willing to learn and work hard. You, on the other hand, only know how to sit back and reap the benefits, relying on back channels? Are your back channels as powerful as mine?”
Jiang Yimian spoke with extreme arrogance, leaving everyone present gaping in astonishment but daring not to utter a sound.
I admire her courage; usually, no one would say such things openly.
But given Jiang Yimian's understanding nature, people are willing to follow a capable leader even if it involves back channels.
Cai Na stormed off, slamming the door shut.
Jiang Yimian clicked her tongue. "The door is broken. Deduct it from her salary."
Getting back to the main point, "What I just said is true. These two products will be launched together. The team leader with the highest sales on the launch day will become the deputy director, and all team members will receive a raise."
Everyone cheered, and someone asked, "Director Jiang, are interns eligible for a raise?"
Jiang Yimian smiled and said, "Of course, not only that, but I can also pass the internship early."
After the meeting, Jiang Yimian was summoned to the chairman's office by Lu Wenchang's men.
This was her first time visiting Lu Wenchang's office. The decor was somewhat rustic, and the office was very spacious. There was also an uninvited guest in the office.
Cai Na crossed her arms and looked at her defiantly.
Jiang Yimian glanced at her only, then ignored her and found a chair to sit down. "Chairman Lu, is there something you need?"
Lu Wenchang was furious at her arrogant attitude, but he forced himself to endure it.
“Mianmian, Cai Na has completed many large projects in the company before, and the position of deputy director has always been reserved for her. Your decision at the meeting does not count.”
Jiang Yimian curled her lips in a mocking smile: "A big project? You probably stole it."
Cai Na, who followed Lu Yiwan, did this kind of thing quite often.
Both men's expressions changed, but Lu Wen still maintained his composure: "Don't forget, I'm the chairman."
"Chairman Lu, are you sure you want to make things difficult for me because of Cai Na?"
Cai Na frowned and glared at Jiang Yimian resentfully, yet she was also worried that Lu Wenchang would abandon her.
As expected, these words immediately silenced Lu Wenchang.
His face looked as if he had eaten shit, gloomy and ruthless.
Jiang Yimian stood up: "Chairman Lu, I believe you know better than I how Cai Na got in. If this gets out, who would dare to buy our Jiang's products? Moreover, with Lu Yiwan as a precedent, many netizens have already boycotted Jiang's. Only I can save Jiang's from its current predicament. The board of directors has also put pressure on you. I believe you can make the right judgment."
Cai Na panicked and quickly grabbed Lu Wenchang's arm, pleading, "Chairman."
Jiang Yimian understood everything at a glance. "No wonder you still dare to be so defiant even though Lu Yiwan is gone. It turns out your backer has changed."
Lu Wenchang immediately shook off her hand, and Cai Na stumbled and almost lost her balance.
He was in a very sorry state.
"Mianmian, it's not what you think."
Jiang Yimian was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. "Chairman Lu, I have work to do, so I won't bother you any longer."
He left after saying that.
As Lu Wenchang watched her leave, his expression grew increasingly grim. Cai Na bit her red lips in grievance and cautiously took his hand, only to be met with a sharp slap from Lu Wenchang the next second.
With a loud thud, Cai Na fell directly to the ground.
"Idiot, who gave you the right to be all lovey-dovey with me in front of outsiders?"
Cai Na's red lips parted, trembling, "I, I..."
"Get out of here! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"
Cai Na quickly got up and left, while Lu Wenchang sat heavily in his chair.
Enraged, he swept the files off the desktop onto the floor.
The board of directors became increasingly dissatisfied with him and even opposed his proposal to change the name of the Jiang family to the Lu family.
His painstaking planning over the past twenty years collapsed in an instant.
Jiang Yimian was still working overtime. Everyone stayed when they saw she hadn't left, until an intern came in to bring her coffee. She was a little surprised, "Wasn't it time to get off work?"
Lu Xinxin immediately expressed her loyalty, "Director Jiang, I love my work and I love Jiang's. The company is my home, and I will work hard."
Jiang Yimian pursed her lips and couldn't help but laugh, "You don't need to do that."
"You can leave work once you've finished. If you haven't finished, you can choose to do it the next day. Just make sure you finish your work within the allotted time. There's no need to force yourself to work overtime."
Lu Xinxin smiled and said, "Yes, I have a job."
"Your job was to organize documents and meeting minutes for me, and do daily chores. Now that I don't need you anymore, what kind of work do you have?"
Lu Xinxin blushed with embarrassment and touched her head. "The boss hasn't left yet. It would be inappropriate for me to leave."
Jiang Yimian got up and went outside, and sure enough, no one had left.
Jiang Yimian clapped her hands, and everyone's eyes turned to her. "It's time to leave work. Everyone can go home if they've finished their work. If you haven't finished, you can work from home. I'm not that strict, so don't be shy."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Yimian accepted the adulation and enthusiasm, a slight smile curving her lips. "Be careful on the road," she said before entering her office.
As everyone clocked out one after another, she was soon the only one left in the entire design department.
She's new here, and she has a lot to do and learn; she needs to get familiar with things as soon as possible.
As night fell, she didn't even notice her phone ringing because it was on silent.
She was startled when there was a knock on her office door. Who would be knocking on the door so late at night?
