Chapter 269 Interns? Free labor, you say?
Zhang Wei’s sinister tone sent chills down their spines, “I prefer them young, they are easy to train!”
Zhu Ran fell silent, her eyes wide with horror.
But it wasn’t just her; all four of the terrified young girls trembled in fear, their terrified gazes fixed upon Zhang Wei as he relentlessly continued his merciless assault on Zhu Ran’s swollen bottom.
While Zhang Wei was engrossed in educating the group of girls, Lisa’s patience was rapidly wearing thin.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she caught sight of a middle-aged man dressed in a sharp brown suit making his way towards her.
“Lisa? What on earth are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be down at the receptionist desk, ready to greet the Chairman?” Huang Ren’s voice carried a tinge of disapproval, his forehead creased in a light frown.
because Zhang Wei was upstairs.
He had meticulously arranged everything for Zhang Wei’s visit, and the last thing he expected was to find Lisa elsewhere.
As Huang Ren recalled his previous encounter with Zhang Wei, he remembered the man’s inclination towards young girls.
Determined to impress his new boss, Huang Ren had gone above and beyond, handpicking Lisa as the top scholar from Nilethia just after she graduated from university.
Not stopping there, he had also recruited a group of fresh-out-of-school young girls, creating a comprehensive ensemble to captivate Zhang Wei’s attention.
Caught off guard, Lisa found herself at a loss for words.
She couldn’t find the strength to explain that she couldn’t leave because Zhang Wei was upstairs.
“Ahhh!”
“You beast!”
The sudden outbursts from upstairs shattered the peaceful atmosphere, causing their conversation to come to an abrupt halt. Huang Ren’s frown deepened as he furrowed his brow. “Is someone up there?”
Lisa stammered, “I… I…” 𝑂𝓋𝐿xt.𝐂𝒐𝔪
Observing her hesitation, Huang Ren’s eyes widened in shock. “You’ve allowed someone to sneak upstairs!?”
Lisa nodded with a remorseful expression.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Huang Ren cursed under his breath and sprinted towards the staircase.
Lisa followed closely behind, her face etched with bitterness.
“I’ve just lost my job…” she muttered resignedly to herself. With a heavy sigh, she contemplated the origin of the distressed voices emanating from above.
Huang Ren rushed up the stairs, his heart pounding with a mix of concern and frustration.
He couldn’t afford any disruptions or unfavorable impressions in front of the Chairman.
Reaching the top floor, he found the door slightly ajar and pushed it open, revealing the chaotic scene inside.
Zhu Ran was standing near the desk, looking both enraged and flustered, her butt swollen.
Zhang Wei was standing in front of her, laughing in a way that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
“You beast!” Zhu Ran cried out, anger flashing in her eyes.
Lisa, finally catching up, stood frozen in the doorway, unsure of what to do in this escalating situation.
Huang Ren, although relieved that there wasn’t a serious issue, couldn’t help but feel a surge of surprise. “Chairman, what are you doing here? We were expecting you downstairs.”
“Chairman!?”
“Chairman!?”
A wave of astonished voices and wide-eyed looks hit Zhang Wei all at once.
Unfazed, Zhang Wei turned to face Huang Ren, his laughter subsiding. “Oh, Huang Ren, I was just imparting a lesson in manners. These young ladies seemed to be in great need of it.”
Huang Ren felt a headache coming on.
He had meticulously planned this day, and now everything was spiraling out of control.
He turned to Lisa, his voice stern. “Explain.”
Lisa took a deep breath, mustering her courage to recount the events that had unfolded. She detailed how Zhang Wei had arrived, her efforts to guide him, and how he ended up coming upstairs.
Huang Ren listened, his expression shifting from anger to a realization of the misunderstanding that had transpired.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, unfazed by the tension, crossed his arms and leaned against the desk, waiting for the situation to unfold.
The rest of the girls retreated to the corner of the office, visibly shaken by his presence, all exchanging sympathetic glances with Zhu Ran.
“Chairman! I am deeply sorry; I had no idea it was you,” Lisa stammered, rushing over to Zhang Wei. She instantly apologized, her face flushed with embarrassment, as she noticed his presence.
Zhang Wei glanced at her, bending over with an inquisitive look, his eyes inadvertently drawn to the slight cleavage that was visible.
Her unusual hair color was undeniably eye-catching, and the surprise of discovering what seemed like hidden rabbits added to the intrigue.
Huang Ren wiped the sweat off his forehead, a mix of nervousness and satisfaction playing on his face. It was becoming apparent that his new boss had a particular fondness for young women.
“That’s alright. Mistakes happen; just make sure they don’t interfere with your work,” Zhang Wei spoke, his tone understanding.
Lisa reassured, “I will certainly not let you down!”
Zhang Wei gestured for her to stand beside him, then turned to Huang Ren. “Would you mind explaining to me why there are five girls in my office?” he inquired.
Huang Ren, taken aback, wondered, ‘Does the boss not like their appearance?’
Huang Ren, still slightly flustered, quickly gathered his thoughts. “Well, Chairman, these five young ladies are interns. They were brought in by the HR department to gain some experience within the company.”
Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting from Lisa to the other interns. “Interns, you say?”
Lisa, now under the chairman’s scrutiny, spoke hesitantly, “I-I had no idea about it.” Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and the other five girls fidgeted nervously, mirroring her blush.
Their presence in the office had ulterior motives, a fact not lost on them, but they were here to work, nonetheless.
Lisa shot Huang Ren an angry glare, silently chastising him for his unspoken intentions. But Huang Ren, more concerned with Zhang Wei’s opinion, paid little attention to their displeasure.
Zhang Wei leaned forward, his expression stern but not unkind. “I see,” he said, addressing Lisa directly. “It’s essential for everyone in the company to understand their roles and responsibilities. I expect professionalism from all members of my team, regardless of position.”
Lisa, despite her embarrassment, nodded earnestly. “Yes, Chairman. Zhang Wei acknowledged her response with a nod before turning to Huang Ren. “Ensure they receive a proper orientation and I understand and will strive to uphold professionalism in my work.”
Zhang Wei acknowledged her response with a nod before turning to Huang Ren. “Ensure they receive a proper orientation and guidance, Huang Ren. It’s crucial they integrate well into our workplace.”
Huang Ren nodded in agreement. “Certainly, Chairman. I’ll make sure they are briefed thoroughly.”
Zhang Wei then addressed the interns. “Welcome to the company. Work hard, learn, and grow. We value dedication and commitment here.”
The girls collectively expressed their gratitude, relief evident in their faces. “Thank you, Chairman. We appreciate the opportunity and will give our best.”
“Lisa, lead them on a tour of the company, help them get acquainted,” he instructed Lisa firmly.
“Alright,” Lisa replied, a mix of nerves and relief in her voice, realizing her initial worries about Zhang Wei might have been unfounded.
The five girls, however, were visibly crestfallen. They had seen this as a prime opportunity to make advantageous connections, a chance to leap into a life of privilege.
Just as Lisa was about to leave with the group of interns, Zhang Wei interrupted, “After they’ve familiarized themselves with the workplace, bring them back. I’d like to offer them some personalized guidance for their careers.”
“…” Lisa was left momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond.
“…” Huang Ren, too, wore a surprised expression, not anticipating this turn of events.
Damn, Zhang Wei was a trained veteran in this game!
