Su Jin calmly drank his tea, but his heart was in turmoil.
Ruan Chen has given him a very generous gift.
Manager Chen's face turned ashen. Even though he was initially wary of Ruan Chen, that wariness vanished after he mistakenly believed that Ruan Chen knew nothing about the company's affairs.
Even though he had just been humiliated in front of everyone by Ruan Chen, he still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. Instead, he was provoked into wanting to compete with Ruan Chen to see who was better.
Otherwise, where will he put his face in the future?
"President Su, I'm only asking Assistant Ruan for your sake, but isn't Assistant Ruan's attitude a bit excessive?" Manager Chen knew that Ruan Chen had just pointed out the key issue, so he simply didn't get entangled with Ruan Chen on professional matters, but instead avoided the main point. "After all, I'm a veteran who has worked diligently in the group for over ten years, and I'm the head of the group's marketing department. Assistant Ruan, aren't you afraid of alienating everyone with your arrogance?"
He not only wanted to sell his seniority, but also to win over everyone present.
Ruan Chen could naturally tell that. Her eyes paused on the tracking program for a moment, then she looked at Manager Chen, but her hands didn't stop. She kept operating the program and her mouth was also talking very fast.
Selling qualifications? Sure.
"What did you just call me?" Ruan Chen asked back.
"Assistant Ruan." Manager Chen deliberately emphasized the word "assistant." Although an assistant could come into this office with Su Jin, it was because of the special nature of the job. He, on the other hand, was a real department head of the group. Ruan Chen, as an assistant, was far from qualified to be his equal.
Ruan Chen found this person to be unexpectedly stupid.
Someone had already coughed softly, subtly signaling to Chen that he had backed down, but he still thought he had the upper hand.
“Look, Assistant Ruan.” Ruan Chen took his hand off the keyboard and spread his hands. “My surname is Ruan. Admittedly, you have ten years of work experience—as for what setbacks you’ve brought to the group in those ten years, I won’t go into that—don’t even mention if you work for ten years, even if you work for a lifetime, you’ll still be getting paid by my Ruan family. What right do you have to yell at me?”
A blatant humiliation.
The man surnamed Chen, holding his breath and unable to catch his breath, actually pushed his chair aside and walked outside, shouting as he went, "This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! With Chairman Ruan not here, she dares to dictate everything about the Ruan family! Doesn't she know who she is? She wants to throw herself at them, but doesn't she even know if the Ruan Group would even look at her!"
Manager Chen was reminded of the internal grudges and entanglements within the Ruan family, a fact known to all the senior members of the group.
Rumors circulated that the eldest and second young ladies were at odds, the second and third young ladies' families were on good terms, and the eldest young lady secretly wanted to kill the second young lady.
After he uttered this incredibly stupid statement, those in the audience who had previously intended to speak up for him completely lost hope.
That's incredibly stupid.
Whether the eldest and second young ladies live or die is a matter for the Ruan family. They are a family behind closed doors. Who do you think you are to say such things?
Ruan Chen didn't mind if someone found out about this.
"Manager Chen, there are some family secrets that you shouldn't be qualified to know, but since you're so stupid, I'll give you a few pointers." Ruan Chen's tone was cold and condescending as he looked around, including at Su Jin.
"Ruan Yunhan is able to sit in her position today not because of her background, nor because of her ability, but because I didn't want her, so I chose her."
-------------------------------------
"It was because I didn't want her that I chose her."
As Ruan Yunhan listened to the man's tearful pleas, her hand resting on her noticeably protruding belly, her expression unreadable, she simply handed him a tissue and said, "I understand."
The man was Manager Chen. He fled the company amidst the disdainful gazes of the crowd and went straight to Ruan Yunhan to complain.
He didn't mention any specific details, but repeatedly described Ruan Chen's arrogance, as if he hoped she could make the decisions.
Seeing Ruan Yunhan's indifferent reaction, Manager Chen was a little disappointed, so he embellished the scene and described it again.
A hint of impatience appeared on Ruan Yunhan's face.
Manager Chen dared not say anything more. If he completely offended this young lady, he would be finished.
"Chairman Ruan, what's my next step..." This was the real purpose of his trip; he was unwilling to leave the group.
“There’s a factory in the county below. You’ll stay there for two years,” Ruan Yunhan said elegantly as she sipped her water. “I’ll transfer you back when the time is right.”
Manager Chen knew that Ruan Yunhan was just making empty promises, but even being demoted to a factory manager in the county was better than leaving the group. At least he could continue to act arrogantly in the factories below.
No sooner had Manager Chen left than the sound of porcelain shattering came from Ruan Yunhan's room.
Clutching her stomach, she slammed everything in sight against the wall, sending shards of porcelain flying everywhere.
Her eyes were full of resentment and venom; there was no trace of the gentleness and tranquility she had shown just moments before.
Hearing the commotion, the servants hired by the Ruan family knew that this young lady was having another fit of madness. After some pushing and shoving, they reluctantly went upstairs to clean up the mess for her.
The young cleaning lady pushed open the door and was immediately struck on the forehead by a small porcelain cup, causing blood to flow down her face.
Even so, the cleaning lady didn't dare to say a word. She hastily wiped away the blood, knelt down, and began to clean up.
Su Jin rushed home as soon as he received the notification. He strode into the house, pulled Ruan Yunhan into his arms, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Yunhan, you're due to give birth in a few days. Why are you getting upset for no reason?"
Ruan Yunhan shoved Su Jin away. "You should know very well why I'm angry. I'm no longer in the company. Mr. Su, are you planning to empty the company with that bitch and then elope?"
