Chapter 824: Relying on a man is not a capability; relying on yourself is.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was only her first day at work, yet she was already causing quite a commotion.
Basically, all the Ji Group employees were discussing about her taking up the planning manager position.
As expected, everyone thought that she had relied on him to get this managerial position. đrđ˛đđ eđnođđ˛đĽ.cđźm
Everyone, especially those in her department, was very unsatisfied with her taking up this position.
âOur new manager doesnât seem to be very competent.â
âExactly. Our bossâs assistant is the highest position she has ever held. What qualifications does she have to be our manager?â
âWhat are you guys rushing up for? We donât need to be dissatisfied over this for long. Our departmentâs Director Xu isnât just for show!â
âTrue. That director doesnât have a good temper, especially to those women who rely on men to get their positions. I think that even if our manager is the CEOâs girlfriend, sheâll still be unable to win against our female devil!â
âTsk! The background of this one is different; sheâs our bossâs girlfriend! Also, sheâs the first girlfriend to be acknowledged by him!â
âWhat of it? Even if our directorâs personality isnât good, sheâs at least very capable! Many companies are trying to poach her, so relax. Our CEO isnât that stupid to make things hard for the director just because of one woman.â
âYes. Although I donât like our director, I must admit that sheâs truly very competent...â
Pei Ge, who had merely come out to take a breather and check the companyâs situation, heard this discussion about her by coincidence.
She helplessly pursed her lips at this.
It was a given that these employees would think she got such an important position due to her being the big bossâs girlfriend.
Still, she felt a little down upon hearing these people say such things about her.
Work hard, Pei Ge! You must show them your capabilities and have them acknowledge your skills!
She encouraged herself inwardly as she strode back to her office.
Once she got to her office, she surprisingly found a woman sitting on the sofa for guests inside.
This woman was none other than the other lead of the employeesâ discussion earlier.
âDirector Xu?â
She was nonplussed to find this woman here.
âWhy are you here?â
It must be mentioned that this director was just as what those people had described her: She did not have a good temper.
That was because she could easily feel a strong and fierce aura from her.
Although this woman was not ugly, she was not pretty either.
She seemed to be around 40 years old. Her makeup was done well, but it could not hide her fierce look.
Her eyes, especially, were slanted upward, giving off a ferocious vibe.
âManager, it is now the working hours. Please donât move around needlessly.â
Her attention was instantly piqued by this. This woman is really as fierce as she looks.
âDirector Xu, I only went out for a while and did not leave for long,â she explained in a hushed voice.
âIs that so? Iâve waited here for some time.â
The director gave her a caustic smile.
â...â This made her certain that this director had a bad impression of her and was here to look for trouble!
âManager, I know that you have our CEOâs backing and that you are his girlfriend. Although I donât understand why heâd place you on this position, what I want to say is that, since you are now under me, you will have to follow my rules.â
Pei Ge pursed her lips lightly but did not speak and just kept listening to her.
âI donât care if you are capable or not. I donât even care if you are here merely to spend your days. After all, you are the CEOâs girlfriend.â
At this point, she was frowning deeply.
This director doesnât put me in her eye at all. In fact, she doesnât intend to leave me with a shred of dignity.
She views me with disdain and despise.
âI only have one request, and that is for you to stay here quietly and not give me any irritating trouble, or else I wonât care that you are the CEOâs girlfriend and will drive you out of the Ji Group.â
Director Xu eyed this woman derisively.
What she hated the most were women who relied on men to assume positions.
This woman did not possess exceptional beauty but was able to snag their big boss. This made her feel even more disgusted.
Average women like us should rely on ourselves. Relying on men is beneath us!
She thought that saying all those things to this small fry was enough to frighten her; unexpectedly...
âDirector, are you done speaking?â Seeing that the woman had finally shut her mouth, Pei Geâs frown loosened as she put on an amicable smile.
âYes,â replied the other coldly.
âSince youâre done, itâs now my turn.â
She put on an apt smile and regarded the director openly.
âI can understand why you are looking down on me; itâs because you think that I got this position not because I did something significant but because I relied on my boyfriend.
âHowever, this is just our first meeting. As the person in charge of this department, donât you think that saying such things to me is very disrespectful?
âAlso, how can you be so sure that I relied on your CEO to get this position? Youâve been working at the Ji Group for so long; you should know better than anyone what type of person your boss is, or perhaps you think that heâs the kind to be used by a woman?â
Her successive questions made the directorâs caustic attitude toward her diminish. Instead, the womanâs face slowly turned blank.
âAnyway, I think that thereâs a need for me to tell you this: Appointing me as the new planning manager was done by my boyfriendâs father. It has nothing to do with your boss.â
