Zhou Yue felt that what she had just said wasn't enough, so she continued:
"What kind of efficient work can a woman like you, who has no culture or artistic talent, do? In other words, do you even know what design is? I don't know why they're defending you; they probably have bad eyesight, or they've been fooled by your innocent appearance."
In her eyes, Jiang Yu had nothing but an innocent, white rabbit exterior; in reality, she was a dark person inside.
"I don't need your opinion. Besides, a woman like you who doesn't even have my looks is just barking here and has no class."
In Jiang Yu's view, some people just whine and complain in their own self-righteous world. And in front of their superiors, they bow and scrape, utterly devoid of dignity.
Otherwise, why didn't he dare to refute Li Xue's scolding when they were in the store last time?
"You're just being sarcastic. I want to see if General Manager Luo can actually handle the job he's talking about, since he's put you here. Don't cry if you mess things up."
After finishing her sentence, Zhou Yue left without waiting for a reply, swaying her hips.
Jiang Yu didn't care about any of that. She continued flipping through the documents, maintaining the same posture for almost half an hour. When she got tired, she would stretch her neck, completely absorbed in what she was reading.
Not long after, Luo Zewen's voice came from outside. He called his secretary and asked her to prepare a meeting room. As he passed Jiang Yu's office, he knocked on the door and explained in detail that the leaders from the telecommunications bureau had arrived at the door.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Jiang Yu closed the documents and stood up. When she reached the door, there were already people in charge waiting there. However, they weren't waiting for her orders, but for Luo Zewen's instructions.
Of course, it's not impossible that Zhou Yue was inside. Watching her come out of the office, Jiang Yu couldn't vent his dissatisfaction because of the crowd, so he just glared at her with a look that couldn't kill.
"You're new here, right? Newcomers aren't needed for this kind of meeting. Just go and do your own thing."
The production manager, who had heard Zhou Yue's description beforehand, didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yu. However, given her position, he couldn't say too many harsh words in front of the employees, so he politely asked her to leave.
"I'm waiting for General Manager Luo."
Jiang Yu glanced at the department manager and said slowly, "Even if I were to prove my identity now, no one would believe me. They might even call me delusional."
"I understand how you feel, but we have more important things to do right now, and it's not convenient for you to be here."
The department manager felt that Jiang Yu was a bit thick-skinned, or that she couldn't understand human language, and scoffed at her answer.
"Manager, please don't say that. We all saw this woman enter the company with General Manager Luo this morning. She's someone handpicked by the leadership. If she's unhappy and says something unpleasant to General Manager Luo, it could affect the future of employees like us who have worked our way up."
Zhou Yue fanned the flames from the side, thinking she could incite the department manager to suppress her, but unexpectedly the other party scolded her with an unhappy look on his face.
"Even if she's a leader's family member, you can't act recklessly at such a critical moment. Doesn't she know that? Don't you understand?"
Yes, yes, yes.
Zhou Yue didn't say anything more. Although the leader was criticizing her, in her view, it was making Jiang Yu look bad. Moreover, in her opinion, anyone with eyes could see through this behavior. She should know how to treat her next.
Because the preparations were somewhat complicated, Luo Zewen had to oversee each step, which caused some delays. During this time, all sorts of things were said, but the content generally revolved around discussing Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu didn't take it to heart and stood there with them, unmoved by any further arguments.
A little while later, Luo Zewen came out of the conference room. The junior leaders came forward to greet him, but he walked past them and went straight to Jiang Yu.
Just as everyone was marveling at the woman's immense power, the man slowly spoke:
"Mr. Jiang, everything is ready. We can go downstairs now to greet the people from the telecommunications bureau."
Turning to the crowd, he said:
"Let me introduce you all. This is General Manager Jiang, one of the shareholders of our Qingyun Garment Factory. Entrusted by Chairman Su, during the period when he is away, General Manager Jiang has full authority to make decisions on all matters, big and small."
As soon as Luo Zewen finished speaking, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they swallowed nervously. Among the group, the department manager and Zhou Yue looked uneasy.
Zhou Yue didn't understand how this woman could be a shareholder of the garment factory. And no one had told her that this woman had any connection with Chairman Su. Could it be that General Manager Luo was just making it up?
The department manager thought more deeply than she did. After all, it was General Manager Luo who said it himself, and in front of so many people. There was no reason for him to make such a joke to amuse them, unless he didn't want to work there anymore.
Remembering the unrealistic things Zhou Yue had just whispered in his ear, he couldn't help but glare at her. He thought he'd deal with this woman later; she wouldn't be able to keep her director's position either.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
The crowd stood in a row, utterly respectful. They recalled their earlier words and wanted to slap themselves. How could they have believed such rumors? Weren't these just malicious fabrications by jealous people? They must have been out of their minds to believe such nonsense.
I only hope that this leader will not hold a grudge against such petty people and will not stoop to their level.
"Hello, if you're all ready, let's begin. Don't keep the telecom company staff waiting too long, that wouldn't be good."
Jiang Yu captured everyone's attention, ignoring their earlier comments. Her two simple sentences garnered unanimous praise. Everyone exclaimed: "No wonder she's a leader; her vision is truly grand."
As they prepared to leave and head downstairs, the department manager appeared extremely awkward. He didn't know how to explain to his superior what he had just said about being blind to someone's abilities. Jiang Yu, however, noticed this and spoke first:
"You must be the department manager in charge of garment production. You did a great job just now, eliminating all possible hidden dangers. I hope you will continue to work hard."
She didn't think it was unforgivable for someone to say something before knowing her identity. After all, ignorance is no excuse, and this person was also thinking of the company, so they deserved praise.
The department manager was moved to tears upon hearing his boss's praise. Of course, he still maintained his principles: anything that could bring benefits to the company was more likely to make him follow them wholeheartedly than a few words of praise.
As they exited the office building, the leaders from the telecommunications bureau had already gotten out of their car. Luo Zewen greeted them first, exchanging a few pleasantries before introducing Jiang Yu to them. He explained that General Manager Jiang would be fully responsible for today's contract and design.
The leader was a man who looked to be around forty or fifty years old. Following Luo Zewen's words, he looked over there and found that the leader he was introducing was actually a young woman in her twenties. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought he was being joked with.
