"Why am I also threatened along with her?! She should be the one to get fired and not me!"
While still angry at the way his boss was treating him, Xun Yanwu bowed respectfully at Zheng Shanyu.
"Miss Ni Yuexi, please follow me to the HR office."
In a curt tone that spoke volumes of the resentment he felt towards the woman that had put him in a difficult position, Xun Yanwu's steely eyes bore into those of Ni Yuexi.
"Secretary Xun, that is Director Ni! Give her the respect due!"
Not allowing his aide to act disrespectfully towards the person that he liked, Zheng Shanyu set him straight, right in her presence. Being reminded again of the gap in ranks, Xun Yanwu wanted to throw up the food he ate that morning.
"My apologies, Director Ni. Please come with me to HR."
Ashamed of being asked to address the woman beside him by title, the aide of Zheng Shanyu still did as he was told by his boss. He walked ahead of her to open the door for her to go through first. He then lowered his head while holding the door as she unwillingly left where she stood to go to the door.
"After you, Director Ni."
