Chapter 43 - 43 Shes Really the Director! (1/2)

43 She’s Really the Director!

“Wait, look at the email sent by HR. It said the new director is…” The voice trailed off, prompting the others to turn on their computers as well.

Hu Jie’s uneasiness grew. She whipped out her phone and shouted, “Impossible! I don’t believe Xing Shu is capable of that. Cheng Xingyang hates her so much. How could he let her be the Director…” However, when she opened the email and saw the name on it, her face fell.

Everyone’s face was also contorted in confusion. All of them stared at the door of the Director’s office, unsure of how to react. Hu Jie slumped in her chair with a blank look.

Someone nudged her. “Ms. Hu, didn’t Director Xing say to get the bid process letter ready in five minutes?”

Hu Jie snapped back to her senses and hurriedly prepared the bid process letter. She felt as if she had swallowed a fly—unable to spit or swallow it—and was disgusted and uncomfortable. She stood in front of the Director’s office and acutely felt everyone’s staring. They were either passing the popcorn or sympathizing… Or perhaps they were gloating…

Hu Jie’s face was pale as she gripped the bid process letter tightly in her hand. She pushed open the door after some hesitation.

Xing Shu was sorting out the documents on the desk. She had tied her hair up—leaving only a wisp on both sides—revealing her snow white slender neck.

Hu Jie’s eyes flashed with intense jealousy. What right did this b*tch have?! She tried her best to suppress her emotions and snarled indignantly, “Director, this is Lirong Corporation’s bid process letter.”

As Xing Shu received it, she glanced at the empty coffee cup on the desk, a task expected of Hu Jie. Hu Jie’s nails dug into her palms as she understood what Xing Shu meant. She took a deep breath—picked up the coffee cup—and turned to get the coffee.

Xing Shu did not say anything to make things difficult for Hu Jie, but this slicing silent treatment discomforted Hu Jie greatly. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of getting the cold shoulder.

Xing Shu drank her coffee as she flipped through the bid process letter. She had drafted this bid process letter previously, so there was no problem. Hu Jie held it in for a long time before saying, “There’s a senior management meeting that requires your attendance in 20 minutes.”

Xing Shu nodded and looked around the office. “Ms. Hu, I don’t like the style of this office. Please get someone to change it for me. Is there a problem?”
