Director Wang turned around after the Elevator doors shut and walked back to the small group at the entrance.
"Director Wang why are you coming back so soon, you should be among the team Escorting the President to his office" Director Sun said as Director Wang walked over.
'As expected even if everyone else was tactful this snake wouldn't let an opportunity to set him down like this slip' Director Wang thought maintaining a neutral expression while clenching his teeth hard.
Since he got promoted to the Executive Director position He hasn't seen eye to eye with Director Sun who was a sore loser.
"There was no need for that, the president already gave some instructions for every department" Director Wang replied.
"Instructions? already, that's ....strange" another Director said.
"Exactly didn't he just Enter the company today. How could he possibly be so familiar with everything so quickly? Director Sun said smugly.
'Typical bonehead Wang was trying to cover up the fact that even the new president doesn't think his capable' Director Sun thought.
"The president is already a successful CEO of a company he started from scratch at such a young age so I doubt he would take him so long to settle in" Director Xie said.
"that's right" the other Directors said.
'Once again his lackey Director Xie comes to his rescue. How long will this their symbiotic relationship last Director Xie was too ambitious go on being Director Wang's lackey' Director Sun thought unfazed by everything.
"The president asked the progress reports of all present projects and a plans for future projects be submitted to his office within an hour and_ "
"Huh how is that possible Director Wang? surely he is aware that we will need much longer than that to compile the all" Director Sun said completely taken back by the instruction.
"The president just joined the company today and already he's trying to disrupt the system. Does Zhou Jianyu think this is his little entertainment company" thought Director Sun feeling thoroughly Exasperated
"This is the president's instructions Director Sun. Do you honestly want to question his authority? said Director Wang firmly, his eyes narrowing and nose flaring slightly.
'Talking to this lughead was really maddening' thought Director Wang trying to rain in his escalating temper.
"Of course not after all his the chairman's Son" Director Sun replied Mockingly.
The rest of the Directors and other senior staff members present were already familiar with Director Sun's pompous and dereorative attitude so it didn't surprise them that he would question the actions of his new boss.
Yet he wonders why Director Wang and not him was offered the position of senior director five years when the last Executive director retired
He was among the group of people that thinks that all members of rich families like the
Excecutive Director and the President were lazy and inadequate workers.
"Director Sun I advise you to treat the President with some respect. He is your new boss and should be treated with the respect he deserves" an authoritative female voice said shocking everyone and completely wiping the smile our of Director Wang's face.
"Uh um V V Vice President Yao, I didn't see you there" Director Sun said nervous.
Vice President Yao Chiyu wasn't someone you should annoy not if you valued your job. She was the wicked witch of Ouyang group.
"How could you with your head currently stuck in the crowd. Ms Ye? she said never breaking eye contact with Director Sun, who was so nervous that he nearly pied in his pants.
Vice President Yao Chiyu was one scarry lady, she was so cold and unemotional that looking into her eyes was like looking into death. She was so Fridgid with her eyes completely lifeless.
"Yes Vice President" Ms Ye Vice President Yao Chiyu trusty secretary replied her face devoid of any emotion, it was like someone had socked it out of her.
Vice President Yao was so cold and inhuman that even no normal person could work with her. Ms Ye and the rest of the staff of Vice President's office were all mechanical and cold.
"Have the finance department slash a half of Director Sun's pay" Vice President Yao said still holding his eyes.
"Yes ma'am" Ms Ye replied already dialing the finance department's manager.
"Welcome back ma'am" said Director Wang walking forward.
"Director Wang walk with me" Vice President Yao Chiyu Said walking forward.
"Yes ma'am" Director Wang said following her close behind.
Oh one more thing, Ms Ye_" Yao Chiyu said stopping abruptly.
"Yes ma'am" Ms Ye replied.
"Send out a notification informing all department heads and Directors of the general meeting I with President Ouyang" Yao Chiyu Said
"Yes Ma'am" Ms Ye replied.
"Good let's get going Director Wang. we have a lot to do" she said resuming her previous pace while her secretary Ms Ye and Director Wang followed behind.
Director Sun let go of the breath he was unknowingly holding as soon as their elevator close. Vice President Yao had let him off easy this time.
"Aiyo Old man Sun your really lucky. You had better be careful with your words Director. People that get on the Vice President Yao's bad side usually ends up jobless" Director Xie said shaking his head.
"You should worry about yourself Director Xie. I don't need you to worry about me" Director Sun said hissing and walking away angrily.
