Chapter 13 - First one

In the evening, when Jazmine walked out of her office, her employees' attitude was much more reverent.

They even lined up to greet her, following the company's proper protocol.

"What is this about? Are they not planning the riot?"

"To be honest, the majority of employees don't. They just want to keep a stable job. But they can't displease the higher-ranked seniors. They are in a difficult situation. And after you fired so many high-ranked employees at once, they are terrified of you."

Jazmine hummed.

'Fear is necessary. Respect can only come with a certain amount of fear. And that is my purpose.'

On the last floor, Jazmine went her separate way from Emily towards the private garage. As she approached the lobby, she could discern the noises.

"What is the meaning of this? How could you say that I need to make an appointment to meet your President? Do you know who I am? I'm the biggest investor in this company after your President!" Victor Smith was in the middle of an argument with the reception lady. "Do you know what that means? I could be the President of this company one day!"

"President Jazmine strictly said, no one can disturb her without an appointment, no matter the identity—"

"Woman, don't test my patience! Do you know who I am? Do you still want to see the light of the next day?" Victor Smith had been polite at first. However, after engaging in an argument with the useless woman for so long, he was starting to lose his composure.

The reception lady trembled and bowed at once. "Forgive me, Sir. I can't. The new President is really strict. Just the other day, she fired countless employees. I can't ignore the rules. I don't want to lose my job."

'That's why he's here! On behalf of Osbert, to pressurize Jazmine to rehire him. But that damned woman won't even let him in!'

"Lose your job? I will make you lose your head if you do not let me pass right now!" Victor Smith was already on the verge of losing his temper.

The little receptionist lady was on the brink of tears.

"Sir, please—"

Just then, Jazmine appeared at the scene.

Victor Smith's eyes shifted towards her.

A look of relief washed over his face.

He had been waiting for so long!

'Now that I have finally met this imbecile, I am certain I will resolve the issue in no time.'

"President Jazmine." He kept his head high. He didn't show the slightest respect. His face showed his dissatisfaction, as if he expected Jazmine to give an explanation for the unfair treatment he had received.

"I am very unsatisfied with the behavior of the reception staff here. The woman here... she had been too adamant to reason with. She said I can't meet you without an appointment. Isn't it ridiculous? All the time the Chairman had been down, I had been the one looking after everything. I had come with intentions to guide you since you've just started but was disrespected in return."

"Since this is your second day here, I won't blame you. But to give me a face, you must not overlook this act of disrespect towards me."

Jazmine's eyes were limpid and cool. She gave no response.

Victor Smith was temporarily startled by her silence. However, soon he regained his composure.

'Maybe she is too nervous to say something? Hah! After all, she is a novice and a woman on top of that!'

Victor Smith felt his confidence swell.

'If she is a boneless wimp, I should make use of the opportunity and suppress her using my seniority.'

"President Jazmine, you need to set the morals of your company right. Your employees, they don't know how to respect revered guests. I demand you fire and report this impudent woman at once." With a self-important tone, he said.

Jazmine almost scoffed under her cool eyes. 'Demand your ass.'

Victor Smith threw an intimidating glance at the receptionist.

The little receptionist lady was frightened.

She kept bowing continuously to Victor Smith.

She even bowed to Jazmine.

Looking at the scene, Jazmine's eyes darkened. She slowly walked toward the receptionist lady. With each step she took towards her, the woman trembled even more and bowed even deeper.

"President Jazmine, I am sorry..."

"Tsk. Are you regretting it now? But just bowing won't save you!"Victor Smith scoffed, however, he was startled speechless when he saw Jazmine gently grabbing the woman's elbow and supporting her up.

Jazmine smiled brightly and in a serene tone, she said,

"You do not need to apologize to anyone. You did nothing wrong."

Hearing her words, the receptionist lady was startled.

She couldn't believe that it was President Jazmine who said those words.

'Didn't the rumors say that President Jazmine was arrogant and ruthless beyond limits who would tolerate no mistakes? Didn't she fire fifteen employees indiscriminately? How could she let this matter go just like that?'

"Neither do you need to bow to the people of his sort. It reflects badly on my company. Since you are an employee of the Tang enterprise, learn to hold your head high. Remember that your President is always beside you."

'People of this sort' Those words hit Victor Smith right in the spot.

While witnessing this extraordinary act by the rumored monstrous President, the few employees in the place felt their hearts warming up.

The glacier of false rumors Osbert had built up in the whole day quickly melted away.

'Which President had ever gone out of her way to offend a shareholder for a small employee?'

After the woman had stopped crying, Jazmine faced Victor Smith

Her small smile was still on.

"My reception lady has not made any mistake. Mr. Walton, if you want to see me, you'll have to make a formal appointment." Her expressions didn't change, but her eyes darkened.

"While I admire your kind intentions, I do not need anyone to guide me on how to preside over my enterprise."

"While you might have looked over things for a few days, please keep it in mind that at the end of the day, I am the real President of Tang enterprise."

"As for the morals of my company, I do not need you to tell me how to set them."

"Since my employee was merely following my words and guidance while the other part couldn't understand her simple words, she won't be fired... let alone be reported. You should be happy I won't report you for using threats."

Victor Smith was shocked.

All the employees standing dead in their tracks and watching were even more shocked.

'This woman... was really not something that they assumed. Instead, she was quite the opposite. Not a demon with pointed horns, but an angel with a gentle halo.'

Not only was Victor Smith slapped across his face, but he was also slapped hard. To the point, he was infuriated with burning embarrassment. He wanted to choke that receptionist woman on the spot.

More than that, he wanted to teach that arrogant woman who thought she owned the world!

However, before he could say anything, without giving him any face, Jazmine headed for the private garage.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Victor Smith hissed and blocked her path at once. "I'm the biggest investor in your company. And you are not going to show me at least some little respect? Your grandfather was a wise man. As long as he held the office, he never disrespected me. If I pull out my shares, your stock price would fall more than fifty percent!"

"Mr. Walton, please step aside. I've some important matters to attend to." Jazmine's smile didn't falter. Even her tone was cool and professional.

'Am I not an important enough matter now?' Victor Smith was enraged at being treated like this.

"You..." When he tried to follow her, dozens of black-dressed burly bodyguards surrounded him, making him stop in his tracks.

Jazmine leisurely walked for the garage.

Let me know if you
