Hua Qian’s expression changed when he heard this.
Then, she said scornfully, “I’m indeed an illegitimate daughter and I’m extremely vain. However, I have a bottom line. In your case, you’re different. You have a problem with your character and have no view of limits. It’s already gone to this point, and you still think that you’re not wrong?”
“Hua Qian, don’t go too far,” Zhang Shanshan said in anger, “You don’t have to add insult to my injury. People like you will always be the most hateful!”
Jiang Ling’er smiled sarcastically. Hua Qian might be extremely vain, but at least she knew what she could and could not do. However, Zhang Shanshan was clearly a woman who didn’t know her own limits.
At this moment, she couldn’t be bothered to watch the two of them fight.
She said, “General Manager Zhong, I have other things to do, so I won’t be staying any longer. You have to rectify the company and severely punish the employees who have made mistakes. Don’t show any mercy to outsiders, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Ma’am,” Zhong Wuxi said respectfully. “I’ll take care of it.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for news from you.” Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “I’m cutting 50% off from your year-end bonus. Consider it a lesson for not managing the company well.”
Zhong Wuxi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was only a money deduction.
“Thank you for your forgiveness, Ma’am,” said Zhong Wuxi.
“Alright, hurry up and deal with this matter,” Jiang Ling’er waved her hand and said.
“Understood. Take care, Ma’am.” Zhong Wuxi nodded.
Back in the car, Jiang Ling’er sighed.
Wen Nuan saw how unhappy she was and said, “Fortunately, we didn’t lose anything. If Zhang Shanshan really sat in your office and did horrible things, wouldn’t the outcome have been even worse?”
” I thought that the company’s atmosphere would be good,” Jiang Ling’er said, feeling like crying. “But today, I’ve really been slapped in the face!”
“That’s true. It’s really embarrassing that something like this could happen,” Wen Nuan said.
After a pause, she continued, “But I don’t understand. You can say that Zhang Shanshan lied to others. After all, she’s an outsider and didn’t even know who the CEO was. However, as for the company’s employees, how could they have been fooled? Could it be that even they don’t know who their boss is? Especially that front desk manager, he’s also an idiot! He even threatened to call the police on you. I’m dying of laughter!”
As she said that, she smiled and went on, “Ling’er, tell me. What kind of method did Zhang Shanshan use to make your employees think that she was the CEO?”
“To be honest,” Jiang Ling’er said helplessly, “The only person in the company who really knows my identity is the general manager, Zhong Wuxi. There are also a few higher-ups who know about me, but they have never seen my face before.”
“No way,” Wen Nuan said in disbelief. “You’re really a mysterious boss!”
“To be honest, I’m just keeping a low profile,” said Jiang Ling’er. “However, I didn’t expect someone to take advantage of that.”
After thinking for a moment, she continued, “It must’ve been very simple for Zhang Shanshan to fool those employees into thinking she was the president.
After all, she just needed to dress up every day and take the CEO’s exclusive elevator to my office every time. At first, she probably wanted to clean in her mother’s place to get close to me, but she soon realized that I wasn’t around at all.”
Jiang Ling’er took a deep breath and went on, “So, Zhang Shanshan and her mother worked together and acted out a scene where the cleaning lady greeted the company’s CEO. They just needed to do that to successfully convince the staff at the front desk.”
“Ling’er, how did you know that Zhang Shanshan’s mother would do that?” Wen Nuan asked in confusion.
Jiang Ling’er calmly replied, “Based on my experience, if her mother didn’t know anything, she wouldn’t have been so carefree after losing the keys to my office,”
“What’s the use of doing that?” Wen Nuan said in disdain. “No matter what, it’s just an impersonation. The company won’t give you any dividends, and you’ll be exposed sooner or later. When Zhang Shanshan impersonated you, wasn’t she afraid of meeting some higher-ups who have met you before? For example, meeting General Manager Zhong?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “I guess it’s vanity. Besides, it’s almost impossible for them to meet each other. The entire floor where my office is belongs to me. To reduce expenses, I didn’t even hire a secretary. Zhong Wuxi knows that I’m never upstairs, so he wouldn’t go to my office to look for me. Even if there was something, he would call me first. Therefore, that floor is either owned by me or the cleaning lady.”
Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ling’er, if I may ask, do you still dare to let General Manager Zhong manage the company after such a serious incident?”
