Chapter 257 - Cant even hold a candle in front of her. (2/2)

The air instantly got silenced. Only the sharp clicking sounds of the heels were heard on the entire floor. This entire scene was new for the employees too.  They have seen their boss giving warm and comfortable smile to everyone.  It was their first time hearing her cold tone.

Jie turned to look at the person who has come with such a formidable air. Though she has known all the time who was she, but still it was the first time seeing her so rageful.

Last time when she faced her, there was only contempt and mockery in her sharp voice. The aura she was holding now was same as before but there was something changed.

Maybe it was just the status of her surname that's making her feel different.

But Jie still held her head high, not wanting to bow her head down, even for a mere greeting. ”Lifen you have come. I was about to...”, she started with a haughty tone.

Erica who was standing behind her boss, rolled her eyes looking at Jie. 'Really shameless people have no brain', she mocked internally.

”I never realized that we were so close Ms.Long! And even we were ever close then too this is a professional meeting, how can you be informal around. This is the reason your staffs too don't know their professional etiquette”, she said with disdain looking at the manager who was standing behind. He has really put all his strength to turn his body to face everyone, but still didn't dare to raise his head.

”Lifen...youu..”, Jie was embarrassed again. She gritted her teeth to make her words come out only to get cut in between again.

”It's Ms.Li or President Li for you. But first let me ask your subordinate something. Or if you are fine you can answer it too”, she said as she took a step closer.

Pointing at the manager she asked in a domineering way, ”What have you called our employees earlier? ”

”It's...it's noth...nothing. I-I was jus....”, the manager tried hard to word out in his defense but he kept failing terribly.

”You called them lowly people. If they are lowly people labouring their lives, then what will you call yourself.  Are you any good?” She jeered.

”I- I didn't meant  that”, the manager tried again.

”Really? Then what exactly do you meant”, her words turning sharper than blades.

Jie bit her lips in aggression,  ”President Li, you can't treat my staff like this ”.

Lifen let out a mocking chuckle, ”Really?  But I don't think I am doing anything wrong. Actually it's your fault for not drawing a disciplinary line for them. It's okay. I will help you out in that”.

”You...”

”Let me complete first. My words  are yet to complete. Ask him to apologise to my employees right at this moment.  In no way I am going to let this slide.  No one can bully our employees. And then fire him straight away. He doesn't have the qualifications to stand his position ”, she said without any expression.  Her words coming out very firm.

The manager's mouth went agape. Moments ago he was just trying to impress his boss so that he can get an increase in his pay. He never thought he would be losing his job actually.
