The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1341 - 1354: My Husband Is a Rich Second Generation (15)
Yuan Zhi: "I’m Xiao Yuan from the marketing department. Secretary Jin, it’s natural you haven’t heard of my name, my supervisor is..."
"Could you please move aside, you’re blocking the way."
Yuan Zhi: "...." Feeling embarrassed, he couldn’t help but glance towards Su Li’s direction.
Yuan Zhi didn’t feel ashamed of looking like a lackey, only thought.... the Su Family mother and daughter are indeed like the reincarnation of bad luck. Whenever he encounters them, his usually good luck turns incredibly bad.
Faced with Secretary Jin’s cold expression, Yuan Zhi didn’t dare to linger.
Others would feel impressed hearing he is a manager at Yisu Group, imagining him to be the type who frequents high-end office buildings, surrounded by a group of subordinates. Even his parents think this way.
His managerial position gives them a sense of pride, often boasting about it.
Those people live up to their expectations, listening with faces full of envy and longing.
In reality, one’s own family knows their own situation. At Yisu Group, there are dozens, if not a hundred, project managers like him.
Yisu Group was originally Zhao Group, expanded into many sub-projects after being taken over by new capital. Managers like him don’t even qualify for the rankings, only able to bluff ordinary people ignorant of the facts.
Just like Secretary Jin before him — she’s the group’s core figure, the president’s top secretary, akin to the chief eunuch beside the Emperor in ancient times, wielding significant power.
Yuan Zhi didn’t qualify to be known by her, but it didn’t prevent him from knowing her. Connecting with her would have been great, and even if not, leaving a general impression wouldn’t hurt.
Yuan Mu wanted to step forward to speak, but was stopped by the embarrassed Yuan Zhi, who gently shook his head.
Yuan Mu could only watch regretfully as Secretary Jin walked past them towards Su Jie and her mother.
Wait, wait....
Walking towards Su Jie?
Such an important figure.... knows Su Jie and them?
Yuan Mu and Yuan Zhi widened their eyes, looking incredulously as Secretary Jin approached Su Li.
The initial aloofness and coldness disappeared from her face, replaced with a respectful demeanor.
Like a subordinate facing a superior, with impeccable composure.
"Mr. Su, the car is parked over there...."
"I know, give me the keys, I’ll drive back myself."
After receiving the car keys from Secretary Jin, Su Li supported Mrs. Su’s arm, not giving them a glance, and walked past the Yuan Family mother and son.
Yuan Zhi, Yuan Mu: "....."
Secretary Jin watched Su Li depart, then strode away herself.
Yuan Mu snapped out of her shock, thinking about the vastly different attitude Secretary Jin had towards them and the Su Family. Her throat caught a breath, causing intense discomfort.
Before Yuan Zhi could stop her, she involuntarily jogged forward, reaching out to block Secretary Jin’s path, blurting out her thoughts without restraint: "Why.... why do you call Su Li ’Mr. Su’?"
This was precisely what Yuan Zhi wanted to know.
Secretary Jin glanced sideways at Yuan Mu, smirking: "Ah, you’re talking about Mr. Su, that’s because she’s the new president of Yisu Group."
"Congratulations, Xiao Yuan, you thoroughly offended the new president."
"Brave young man indeed...."
Moments ago from afar, he watched the entire drama unfold before his eyes.
The look of pity and sarcasm in Secretary Jin’s eyes pricked Yuan Zhi’s anxious heart like needles.
He couldn’t help but mumble: "W-what?!...."
In a daze, he seemed to recall that the newly appointed president was indeed surnamed Su.
Secretary Jin: "I remember you now, Xiao Yuan from the marketing department. You better go tidy up your things, HR finishes at five this afternoon."
In the end, Yuan Zhi’s initial intention was realized in another way. He successfully made this prominent figure remember him, even beyond that, now the president also deeply remembered him.
But.....
"No, you can’t do this, I have a contract with the company...."
"Don’t worry, Yisu Group doesn’t lack money, you won’t lose out."
Secretary Jin’s sarcastic expression deeply stung Yuan Zhi, the previously arrogant expression completely turned grim.
He clutched his mother’s arm like grabbing a lifeline, "Mom, weren’t you good friends and classmates with Aunt Su? You... call her, just say what we said earlier was all a joke..."
"Don’t take it seriously, really, don’t." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Yuan Mu: "Ah..." She didn’t know how to respond to her son, hesitating to express her reluctance.
Su Jie.... She thought after so many years that she had finally stepped on her, ready to take pride, but who knew....
Yuan Mu sighed heavily, "Don’t worry, I’ll call her now."
She gradually realized that her son might not be as capable as she thought.
Otherwise, why could one casual remark from others make him lose his position?
Alas....
Regarding how Mrs. Su would react to Yuan Mu’s humble phone call, Su Li didn’t know and wasn’t interested in knowing.
Only during dinner did Mrs. Su hesitantly speak to Su Li: "Yuan Zhi, although he isn’t as good as imagined, we shouldn’t care about him, but it’s unnecessary to...."
Hearing this, Su Li instantly put down her chopsticks, adjusted her expression, and said coldly: "Are you saying I’m abusing my power for personal revenge?"
Mrs. Su: "Since childhood, I’ve taught you to separate personal matters from business, there’s no need to push people to extremes over minor issues. You’re powerful now, but consider what if, one day, you’re not powerful.... how would others treat you..."
They seemed to be the kind of elders who always felt it was better to avoid trouble.
"Spare where possible...."
Though they forget, that leniency towards others doesn’t guarantee the same for themselves.
The more Mrs. Su spoke seriously, the colder Su Li’s expression became.
It seemed she gave too much leniency to the original owner’s parents, making them feel they could control her.
Su Li: "Don’t say anymore, I don’t want to hear it."
Mrs. Su froze for a moment, pursing her lips, then shouted aggrievedly: "Old Su, look at your daughter, I can’t control her, can’t control anymore...."
Mr. Su showed slight disapproval, "Xiao Li, your mom is inherently thinking of your best interests."
"You both just focus on enjoying your retirement, don’t worry about other matters."
Mrs. Su: "....."
She suddenly turned her head, grabbing Mr. Su, crying, "You see her like this, she’s not as close as the former obedient daughter. As Mr. Su, she’s got quite the prestige, even disregarding her parents."
"So you’d prefer me struggling, tirelessly in a hard and exhausting life?"
