The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Qingwu Poaches Someone on the Spot

Everyone’s faces were barely containing their laughter!

The young lady is really too amusing; it’s been many years since anyone in the company has spoken to Zhong Yue like that.

Qingwu’s blunt words also made Zhong Yue’s face burn with pain!

He knew this new boss was not an easy one to handle!

If a young lady like her were allowed to cause chaos in the company, the company would probably be doomed!

With an expressionless face and an indifferent demeanor, Qingwu said, “Director Zhong, do you have any objections? You called the meeting, and I have yet to see any actual content.”

Zhong Yue had no choice but to let go of the incident just now and took several deep breaths inwardly.

Then he turned to the old vine beside him.

“Old Teng, today is your turn to do the job report, go ahead.”

Old Teng spread his hands.

“Director, you called this meeting last minute. My job report is scheduled for the third of next month. I haven’t prepared the PPT, so you should do this meeting yourself.”

Zhong Yue’s face could no longer keep its composure!

“Old Teng, shouldn’t your job report have been prepared a long time ago?”

“I only received notice yesterday, and the notice was for a meeting on the third of next month. I also had over a dozen designs to revise yesterday. Does Director think I’m not busy?”

Zhong Yue has always been the kind of person who expects to see results the day after he assigns the work!

Not everyone else is as idle as Zhong Yue.

Qingwu glanced through the overtime records of the design department.

Old Teng basically worked overtime every day until ten at night before he left, but his basic work was already finished before the end of business hours during the day.

Despite this, Zhong Yue once rejected Old Teng’s overtime application, claiming he was just trying to earn overtime pay.

But Old Teng’s work still needed to be completed on time.

So for a long time, Old Teng has been working overtime unpaid!

With raised eyebrows, Qingwu said: “Is Old Teng the only employee in the design department? The overtime situation is unreasonable, and Director, you have never managed it?”

Zhong Yue waved his hand dismissively.

“Miss, you’re unaware, but during work hours, Old Teng slacks off, leaving all his tasks to the evening just for the company’s overtime pay!”

Qingwu coldly said, “Judging by the workload, I think Director Zhong is more likely to want overtime pay.”

Zhong Yue gave an embarrassed laugh, “There’s no such thing, my work is completed on time; there’s no need for me to do overtime!”

Qingwu’s gaze passed over Zhong Yue and landed on the honest and simple face of Old Teng.

“Your overtime pay will be compensated. Feileng does not mistreat any employee. Of course, I also do not welcome those who wish to slack off here.”

Old Teng’s eyes suddenly lit up!

“Thank you, President Shen!”

Zhong Yue said discontentedly, “Miss, President Shen, you don’t understand the rules and regulations of our company at all. This Old Teng is just trying to slack off!”

Qingwu closed the file in her hand, her clear and rippling eyes carrying a bit of icy coldness that seemed to see through everything.

“Zhong Yue, since Old Teng isn’t good enough, it would be possible to let him resign after negotiation, unless you are trying to save the company from severance pay?”

Zhong Yue did not want to fire Old Teng at all, because if Old Teng left, he would have no one to polish his own drafts!

Zhong Yue’s eyes wandered, and he dodged the subject.

“Of course, it’s because I couldn’t bear it knowing Old Teng has two children to support…”

“Director Zhong Yue, if you intend to use the company’s resources to cultivate your personal humanitarianism, I’m not in favor of that. I’m in need of a design assistant recently. Old Teng, come with me. Qiuling will discuss your salary with you.”

Zhong Yue’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably!

The design department’s deputy director and the general manager’s design assistant – anyone can tell which position sounds higher just by hearing them.

But everyone in the design department knows that Old Teng’s role as deputy director is in name only.

Being the deputy director just means cleaning up after Zhong Yue!

Zhong Yue was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Miss, you cannot simply demote Laoteng upon your arrival.”

Qingwu looked at Laoteng and said calmly, “Your salary will increase by 20% on top of your current base, your commission rate will rise from 50% to 60%, and you will have weekends off. I do not like working overtime; consider my offer.”

Laoteng’s eyes sparkled in an instant!

If his salary could see such a significant increase without the need for overtime, then even if his position didn’t sound as prestigious as before, it didn’t matter!

Only those who have been in his current position know how difficult it is!

He doesn’t get paid for working overtime now, and besides, overtime isn’t something he volunteers for.

Somehow, looking at Qingwu’s calculating gaze, the flame in his heart was also ignited!

He suddenly stood up, clenched his fist, his blood boiling.

“Great! I am willing to join President Shen’s team!”

The water cup next to Zhong Yue got knocked over by him!

“Laoteng, think carefully, if you leave, you will have no association with our team anymore!”

Qingwu sneered.

“Director Zhong, the company now belongs to me. Laoteng will become my direct report, and his work will still be in design, not much different from before.”

“Or do you imply, Director Zhong, that by following me, one stands against you?”

Zhong Yue dared not utter such words, even if he thought so!

Even if that’s what he thought, Zhong Yue could only put on a forced, non-genuine smile on his face!

“Not at all. President Shen has misunderstood. I just feel sorry for Laoteng.”

Qingwu reached out and touched her earlobe, yawning.

“Let’s continue the meeting. If you don’t know what to say, just repeat the content from your last meeting.”

“President Shen, our meetings are not for repeating the same content; that would be a waste of time…”

Qingwu raised her eyebrows and said: “I think this meeting is a waste of time. Since that’s the case, let’s adjourn the meeting.”

Zhong Yue intended this meeting to embarrass Qingwu, but now he is the one who got slapped in the face!

Walking out of the meeting room, Laoteng quickly followed behind Qingwu in a few steps.

“President Shen, do you really want me? I do trivial tasks in the design department.”

“I’ve looked at your designs, and I don’t believe they are trivial.”

Qingwu lifted her eyelids and glanced at him.

“Laoteng, if you also consider what you do insignificant, then you will never stand tall.”

Laoteng knows better than anyone how important his work is!

Feeling Qingwu’s earnest expression, Laoteng shivered all over!

“Being my design assistant isn’t easy, but you won’t have to do the tasks of the design department anymore. I also want to see if after you stop sharing the workload with Zhong Yue, he still won’t need to work overtime.”

Laoteng understood that Qingwu was restructuring the company internally.

Yet he was still grateful!

Entering the office, Qingwu handed Laoteng a document.

“Provide your design drafts based on the quarterly theme, contact the suppliers and gemstone sources, and give me a complete report of the gold jewelry design series. Finish these tasks within one week.”

The workload was indeed not small.

Feileng Jewelry Company’s suppliers and partners amounted to hundreds of emails; contacting them one by one would certainly keep him busy!

But it was already half of Laoteng’s previous workload!

“Okay!”

Watching Laoteng step out of the office, Qiuling bent over and drew closer to Qingwu.

“Have Zhong Yue come over, and by the way, have him bring me a glass of water too!”
