Chapter 896 Looking Down on Him
"You should know that Lu's Bank is a family business of our Lu family. Why did you hire her without my consent? What are you planning?"
There was no document about Wen Qingyi coming to work, and she didn't even know when she started working!
She's such a failure as a bank manager!
She didn't even know a new employee had started working...
The thought of this made Lu Nanchu very angry.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen said nonchalantly, "So what if Lu's Bank is a family business of your Lu family? Doesn't a bank need to recruit new talent?"
"Without highly skilled professionals to work for your Lu's Bank, how can your Lu's Bank establish itself on Wall Street?"
High-tech talents have always been essential to all industries. Without these talents working for them, could their banks have developed so well?
Even if there were requests from Grandpa Wen, his act of doing her a favor didn't harm her core interests, right?
Why is she reacting so strongly?
“I don’t deny what you said, talent is very important.” Lu Nanchu’s expression changed instantly: “But the question is, is Wen Qingyi a high-tech talent? Where is her skill? I can’t see any of it.”
Her voice was even sharper than before, as if she was really unhappy with his hiring of an assistant without her consent.
Xu Chen frowned and reminded her, "Lu Nanchu, don't be so sarcastic! Qingyi is my childhood sweetheart. I made her my assistant, why should she need to report to you?"
"Just because you're the president of Lu's Bank, does that give you the right to boss me around?!"
Now she even wants to know who his assistant is...
He realized that Lu Nanchu had become a completely different person since taking over the family business!
Not only did he become sarcastic and mean, but his desire for control also swelled to an unprecedented degree!
“That’s right, I am the president of Lu’s Bank, and I have to be responsible for the future development of the bank!”
Lu Nanchu roared, his eyes filled with fierce anger: "Who is Wen Qingyi? You dare to hire her into our bank? Of course you don't care if she doesn't need you to pay her salary!"
The thought that a woman like Wen Qingyi could enter the Lu family's business made her feel nauseous!
That Wen Qingyi is clearly up to no good. How could she let someone like that work at Lu's Bank?
Let alone facing the shareholders, she can't even get past this hurdle in her own mind!
"So, all you've got is a plan to prevent Wen Qingyi from getting paid, right?" Xu Chen understood her implication. "Then I'll pay Wen Qingyi's salary! Is that alright?"
Every time, they would argue because of Wen Qingyi.
They rarely see each other and barely exchange a few words, yet they had a heated argument over Wen Qingyi.
It seems that Wen Qingyi has truly become an unresolved knot in Nan Chu's heart.
Lu Nanchu was initially very angry, but after hearing his last sentence, she burst out laughing: "What right do you have to pay salaries? Do you even have any money in your hands right now?"
"You rely on your family for basic living expenses, how can you possibly afford the salary of a special assistant?"
"Besides, if I remember correctly, the salary of a special assistant to the executive director of our Lu's Bank is higher than the average salary in Manhattan. How do you have the ability to pay this $200,000 salary?"
Although she used her cousin's influence to expel Xu Yi and his son from the new project, Xu Chen remained her husband in name only, even though she was not involved in the project.
There's nothing she can avoid about this.
"Lu Nanchu, are you looking down on me?" Xu Chen sensed her intention, and his well-defined knuckles instantly clenched into a fist: "I'm still your husband, and I've only hired a special assistant. Do you have to humiliate me like this?"
Almost all of his vulnerabilities were known only to her.
It was one thing for others to look down on him, but he never expected that even Nan Chu would look down on him so much!
It's absolutely intolerable.
Lu Nanchu couldn't help but sneer, "I was just asking you for a year's salary from Wen Qingyi. How did that become an insult to you? If you can't pay me, don't pretend to be rich here and make a fool of yourself!"
"I will fire Wen Qingyi tomorrow, and I will arrange a new special assistant for you."
Her words made Xu Chen narrow his eyes: "Lu Nanchu, what do you mean? What gives you the right to dismiss Qingyi?"
If Nan Chu really fires Wen Qingyi, how is he supposed to explain it to Old Master Wen?
No, he absolutely cannot let Wen Qingyi be kicked out of Lu's Bank!
This was a promise he made to Mr. Wen.
He had already promised to take good care of Wen Qingyi, so how could he go back on his word?
"If you don't want her to fire you, first come up with $200,000 to prove you can pay her a year's salary!"
Lu Nanchu was forcing him to make a choice: "Either I fire her, or you choose."
She'd turn a blind eye as long as he could come up with $200,000.
Since she doesn't have to pay his salary, and he has a delivery girl who can be used almost for free, why not?
Xu Chen closed his eyes briefly and said with difficulty, "Okay, I promise you, I will transfer the two hundred thousand US dollars to your account tomorrow."
"At the same time, I also hope that after you receive this money, you will keep the promise you made to me."
"Otherwise, unless Qingyi herself has committed some serious mistake, I will absolutely protect her!"
After leaving those words, Xu Chen turned and left her office.
In the following days, Lu Nanchu barely spoke a word to Xu Chen, and whenever there were social gatherings that required him to attend, he would arrange for Xu Chen to go instead.
Xu Chen had always been angry but dared not speak out. Wen Qingyi was his special assistant, and she also became very busy with him, often not being able to go home until very late.
That evening, Xu Chen went out for drinks with the president of a New York bank.
When the waiter brought him the drink, he secretly sprinkled some powder into Xu Chen's glass from a blind spot of the camera.
Xu Chen paid no attention to the waiter's actions. While he was drunk, Wen Qingyi was also forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
But Wen Qingyi was still more sober than Xu Chen. She helped him to the nearby InterContinental Hotel and booked a room for him.
However, just as she helped him inside, Xu Chen suddenly felt a surge of heat.
Regardless of who the woman beside him was, he pulled Wen Qingyi close and sealed her red lips with his own.
Wen Qingyi struggled desperately, but men are much stronger than women, and she was no match for Xu Chen.
Xu Chen pinned her down, and the temperature in the room continued to rise.
Before long, you could hear screams and shouts coming from both men and women.
