Chapter 34 Why can you fire me just like that?
Jiang Yan's black eyes suddenly narrowed and shot sharply at Gu Miaomiao.
"Could it be that you said something yesterday that caused them to act like this today?"
Gu Miaomiao curled her red lips in a mocking manner and rolled her eyes at him without any hesitation.
"Would I resort to such despicable means?"
Jiang Yanbai raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and impatience appeared between his brows.
"If you have a way, deal with it now. If not, just go upstairs."
Gu Miaomiao didn't care. She dragged a chair over and pushed Jiang Yanbai down.
"I'm a new official, so you have to help me show off my power."
Jiang Yanbai stared at her with heavy eyes, but did not resist.
What tricks is this woman trying to play again?
Gu Miaomiao forced a satisfied smile and clapped her hands crisply.
"Boss Jiang is here today, I'll make things clear to everyone."
"If they don't come, tell them later."
"From now on, arrive at the company on time at nine in the morning."
"If there are any special circumstances, you must report them to me in advance. This is just one of them."
Jiang Yanbai exuded a fierce aura, which instantly silenced the few people who were originally trying to discuss in secret.
Gu Miaomiao swept her cold gaze over the crowd.
"Since I took over the Film and Television Department, I have been fully responsible for all matters and they report directly to me."
"This was promised by President Jiang himself."
She paused her gaze on the dissatisfied employee, her tone amusing.
"Is there anyone else who thinks my words are not strong enough and needs President Jiang to emphasize them again?"
But no one answered.
Jiang Yan pursed his thin white lips, waiting to see how she would end.
Gu Miaomiao seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly.
"Very good. Since everyone has no objection, let's get to work immediately."
Just as he finished speaking, an inappropriate and charming voice sounded.
"Boss Jiang!"
A woman in cool clothes rushed in quickly and approached Jiang Yanbai.
She spoke with tears in her eyes.
"Boss Jiang, how could you let someone like this run our film and television department? And you want all of us to obey her? I won't accept that!"
Jiang Yan frowned and was about to speak.
Gu Miaomiao stepped forward first, and with her slender fingers, she lifted the woman's pointed chin.
A meaningful smile appeared on her red lips.
"I remember you. Xuelin, right?"
Xue Lin was stunned by her sudden action, and then panic flashed in her eyes.
Gu Miaomiao's fingertips gently stroked her smooth jaw.
"Yesterday, your personal lounge looked like a garbage dump. I told you that if you didn't clean it up, you would pay the price."
Gu Miaomiao's smile was obviously charming, but it frightened Xue Lin so much that her heart was beating like a drum.
She suddenly shook off Gu Miaomiao's hand and quickly walked to the personal lounge.
"I, I'll clean it up now!"
Gu Miaomiao folded her arms and followed her slowly.
Xue Lin hurriedly pushed open the door of the lounge.
The scene inside was still as messy as yesterday.
Gu Miaomiao's voice suddenly rang out.
"It seems you haven't done that. I declare you, Xue Lin, to be expelled immediately."
What? !
When everyone in the film and television department heard this, there was an uproar.
"Xue Lin is quite famous in the film and television industry. Is it already... open?"
"Director Gu's method is too extreme."
Xue Lin came back to her senses from the discussion.
Her face turned pale, she turned around and pointed at Gu Miaomiao tremblingly.
"Why did you fire me?"
Gu Miaomiao's red lips curled up slightly, but her eyes were calm.
"Because you don't work seriously."
"I asked you to clean your own lounge. It's so simple, but you can't even finish it."
Her eyes flickered across the mess.
"What else can you accomplish?"
Xue Lin looked at Jiang Yanbai with pleading eyes, staggered towards him, her voice filled with tears.
"Boss Jiang!"
"Boss Jiang, you have to make the decision for me!"
"I've worked diligently in the company for many years and am quite famous in the film and television industry!"
"What right does she have to fire me just like that?! Does she know how much compensation I'll have to pay if she fires me?"
Xue Lin's cries were shrill.
Jiang Yanbai just looked at Gu Miaomiao silently. Seeing that she was not panicked at all, it seemed that she was sure that he would help her?
He leaned lazily against the chair, his slender fingers tapping the armrest.
There was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Xue Lin.
"It doesn't matter."
"I'll listen to Director Gu."
The color on Xue Lin's face instantly faded.
She suddenly turned around, pounced on Gu Miaomiao, and grabbed her arm tightly.
But the voice was pleading.
"Director Gu! Miss Gu! Please, give me another chance!"
"I can't be fired! I really can't be fired!"
The makeup on her face was wet with tears, making her look a little disheveled.
"I owe a lot of money to loan sharks... If I lose this job, I won't be able to pay it back, and they'll kill me!"
Gu Miaomiao frowned slightly, flicked her wrist, and shook off Xue Lin's grip neatly.
Her cold gaze swept over the silent crowd around her.
"Yesterday, I gave her a chance. Not just her, but all of you. If you don't follow the rules, you will face the consequences."
She looked at Xue Lin again, who was in tears.
"As for compensation, the company won't give you a penny less. Now, go to the Finance Department to settle the bill."
There was dead silence in the office area.
The remaining film and television department employees had fear in their eyes.
This new director...is decisive and merciless in his killing.
This is a warning to the enemy.
Gu Miaomiao ignored the chaos in front of her and slowly smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves.
She walked calmly towards the seated Jiang Yanbai and met his deep gaze.
"The first fire is lit."
She leaned slightly to the side, her tone calm, and there was a hint of amusement in the corners of her eyes.
"I have arranged today's work. Mr. Jiang, you can leave now."
She was ordering him around. He'd used his authority to establish his own rules, and now he wanted to chase people away?
Jiang Yanbai slowly stood up from his chair.
His dark eyes stared at her closely, his emotions difficult to discern. He said nothing, but just followed her silently towards the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, and Jiang Yanbai's low voice was dangerous.
"You are using me as a tool."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
Gu Miaomiao curled her thin lips, turned her head and looked at the tall man beside her.
There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"You figured it out. Mr. Jiang, you're smarter than I thought."
She paused, her tone casual.
"It's just that I have no choice."
"The Film and Television Department, as you know, is a pile of mud that can't be helped."
"If I don't take some drastic measures and set some rules first, I'm afraid none of those old-timers will take me seriously in the future."
"Then what's the point of me taking over a film and television department that's like an empty shell?"
She was explaining and also implicitly admitting that she had taken advantage of Jiang Yanbai's power.
Jiang Yanbai didn't say anything, but his deep black eyes were still fixed on her.
He was naturally aware of the complex intertwined interests within the film and television department.
This woman chose the most direct and effective method.
However, this cleverness made him feel inexplicably restless.
