The next day, Li Ruo was awakened by a series of urgent telephone rings.
She was still a bit grumpy from waking up, but when she picked up the phone and saw the contact information, she immediately woke up and pressed the answer button without hesitation.
"Minister, is there anything I can help you with?"
The minister's indifferent voice came through the microphone: "What time is it? Still sleeping? Aren't you going to work or not?"
Li Ruo frowned and retorted bluntly, "Didn't you tell me to rest at home?"
After a few seconds of silence, the other person said calmly, "Just get to work as soon as possible, or I'll deduct your full attendance bonus!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving her any chance to speak.
Although Li Ruo felt confused, she quickly tidied herself up and was back to full strength.
Regardless of why the minister suddenly changed his mind, it wasn't a bad thing for her.
When she rushed to the company, she didn't see the minister as she hoped, but instead met the person she least wanted to see.
"Wen Zhi?"
She frowned subconsciously, somewhat puzzled.
Wen Zhi waved her hand with a smile: "Miss Li, we meet again."
Li Ruo didn't understand why she suddenly appeared here, but she still gave a faint "hmm" and then walked past her back to her work station.
She didn't want to get into a conflict with this woman right away, so the best approach was to ignore her.
"Vice Minister, Miss Wen Zhi has actually come to our department!"
Before she could even sit down, her colleague suddenly spoke up.
What?
Wen Zhi coming to work at the company? Are you kidding me?
Just as she was frowning in thought, the minister arrived late. When he saw Wen Zhi, his expression was gentle: "The higher-ups think our department is very important, and having only a minister and a deputy minister is too simplistic. So they have appointed Ms. Wen Zhi as the director to oversee our work. Let's all give her a round of applause!"
As soon as he said this, applause broke out in the office. Li Ruo felt that her perfect mask was about to crack.
Sure enough, Wen Zhi's sudden appearance at the company was definitely not a good thing.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that she would become his boss!
For a moment, she felt like dying.
It must be said that Wen Zhi is indeed worthy of being from the Wen family. Even though her personality isn't great, she has perfectly inherited the Wen family's genes. She's incredibly eloquent and can charm everyone.
She stood before everyone, first outlining her plans before concluding with, "Now, I will work hard with everyone to make the company bigger and stronger!"
After the meeting ended and everyone went back to their places, Li Ruo was about to follow up on the project when Wen Zhi stopped her.
Wen Zhi said in a very casual tone: "Vice Minister Li, could you please print out some documents for me?"
"Can……"
"What, you're not going to refuse, are you?"
As if he had expected her to object, the other person raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice.
Li Ruo suppressed her urge to curse, turned around with a standard professional smile, and took the document from the other person's hand.
"Oh, and remember to adjust the format and date. I need one hundred copies."
The next moment, Wen Zhi suddenly added.
If she still can't see that this woman is deliberately making things difficult for her, then she's truly a fool.
The feud between the two had already spread throughout the company entrance a couple of days ago. Although no one spoke at the moment, the other colleagues secretly turned their gazes to Li Ruo, wanting to see how she would respond.
A few seconds later, Li Ruo readily agreed: "OK!"
She endured it for the sake of her job.
However, she never expected that this was just the beginning.
All morning, Wen Zhi either had her print documents or run errands.
Even at noon, while her colleagues had already gone to the cafeteria for lunch, she was left behind.
"Miss Wen, what brings you here?"
At this moment, Li Ruo also got a little angry and asked impatiently.
Wen Zhi turned her office chair around, glanced at her a few times, and then said, word by word, "Deputy Minister Li, we are in the company now, so please address me by my title, call me Director Wen."
Li Ruo took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "...Director Wen, may I go to dinner now?"
"Can."
Wen Zhi raised her chin and said imperiously, "But I'm a little sleepy right now, go get me a cup of coffee to perk me up."
"you!"
Li Ruo's eyes widened, but seeing her smug expression, she held back despite her reluctance and turned to head towards the tea room.
She had finally been called back by the minister, and she absolutely could not afford to cause any more trouble now!
Tea room.
Li Ruo nodded in satisfaction as she watched the aroma emanating from the coffee cup.
That woman shouldn't nitpick anymore now, right?
Just as she was about to turn around, she was suddenly bumped hard by the person next to her.
The coffee sloshed around, and most of the cup spilled onto her hands.
She hissed as she was burned, and instinctively let go of the cup, which shattered on the ground.
"Vice Minister Li, you're really too careless."
Immediately afterwards, a sarcastic female voice rang out: "You can't even hold a cup of coffee properly, no wonder you can't secure any collaborative projects."
Li Ruo looked at her coldly, finally remembering who this person was.
It was Sun Ye, the colleague who had confronted him in front of everyone at the meeting just a few days ago!
Having been harassed all morning, the sudden appearance of someone else caused all her pent-up grievances and anger to erupt.
She frowned, took a few steps forward subconsciously, and was about to speak when she heard a familiar voice.
What are you doing?
She turned around abruptly and saw Wen Huaiyan looking at her with a furrowed brow.
She lowered her head instinctively and didn't say anything.
Wen Huaiyan's face was icy cold. His gaze lingered on her stained shirt and the reddened skin under the cuffs, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "What happened here?"
