"So what do you mean?" Hu Linquan asked discontentedly.
"A vice president like you doesn't even know basic courtesy! Did the company hire you to show off and throw your weight around? If you have the ability, have headquarters give up my position for you to sit on! If you don't have what it takes, then just behave yourself! When you encounter a problem, instead of resolving it on your own, you come here crying to your parents. Is that going to help?"
"You..." Hu Linquan was too angry to speak. He didn't expect this woman to be so fierce. She was quite difficult to deal with.
"When you learn what courtesy and respect mean, then you'll have the qualification to knock on my door! Get out!"
"..." Hu Linquan was momentarily speechless and angrily stormed out.
Startled, Yin Panpan glanced at the direction Hu Linquan left in and then looked at the CEO in front of her. She's so domineering...
Qingyan's gaze returned to the manuscript. "We were discussing this earlier. Your design for the puff sleeves and the skirt, change them like this."
Yin Panpan was no longer attentive. She looked at the girl's powerful aura and swallowed her saliva. She's so cool. When can I be this cool too...
"Do you understand?" Qingyan looked up at her.
"Y-yes, I understand..." Yin Panpan snapped back to reality from what just happened. "I'll go back and make the changes."
After Yin Panpan left with the sketches, Hening raised his thumb and approached Qingyan.
"Miss Qing, you're so domineering! I've been here for a year and have never seen Mr. Hu back down like this!" Hening felt pleased in his heart. "This time he really kicked a hornet's nest!"
"I'm a hornet's nest?"
"No, no, no..." Hening hurriedly said, "But Mr. Hu is vengeful. He might make things difficult for you in the future... Miss Qing, you should be careful!"
"If he tries to make things difficult for me, should I just let him? Do I look foolish?"
Hening looked at her admiringly. She was so young, yet so confident!
"Don't let just any cats and dogs in here in the future. It affects the mood."
"Understood!"
After Hening left, Qingyan leaned back in her computer chair, exuding her domineering aura, and began reviewing the company's previous financial reports.
Her phone vibrated a few times.
She checked and saw a WeChat message from Si Yechen, as well as messages from her parents. Before she had a chance to reply, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Qing, Xia, the head of Human Resources, is here to see you," Hening's voice came from outside the door, sounding somewhat ominous.
"Let her in."
Qingyan put down her phone and raised her gaze to the short-haired woman who entered. She appeared to be in her twenties, but exuded a strong aura of a powerful woman.
"Miss Qing, with your new appointment, you certainly have a lot of authority!"
Xia Yihui stormed angrily in front of Qing Yan, slamming the desk loudly. "During the early days of the company's establishment, the headquarters sent me here to oversee things. And now, you, Qing CEO, want to fire me just like that? What, is the company your personal property? Do you think you can do whatever you want? Have you forgotten about the headquarters?"
As she spoke, she glared angrily at Qing Yan, clearly dissatisfied with her decisions. The employees who had been peeking from outside were taken aback. Can you really just slam Qing CEO's desk whenever you feel like it? Aren't you too audacious? You even dare to glare at Qing CEO!
Qing Yan naturally knew that the office door was wide open, with more than ten pairs of eyes fixed on her. She wished she could make these people leave, but they were eager to witness what would happen next and refused to budge.
Qing Yan's gaze fell upon the woman in front of her, and she lazily replied, "The one who didn't consider the headquarters is you, Ms. Xia. I've reviewed your attendance record. Don't you have anything to say?"
"Since Qing CEO has looked at my attendance record, then you should know better than anyone else that I have been diligent and never arrived late or left early throughout the year!"
"I'm the first one to arrive at work every day! And I'm also the last one to leave!"
"All my dedication to the company is documented in the attendance records!"
"And you, without any reason, fired me! Whether you believe it or not, I will escalate this matter, report you to the headquarters, and make sure you can't stay here anymore!"
There was an uproar outside the office. Minister Xia has quite the temper, daring to speak to Qing CEO like that.
They're just bullying Qing CEO because she's young!
I wonder if Qing CEO was scared.
Qing Yan casually sized her up and leisurely said, "Do you believe the words you just said?"
"You..." Xia Yihui became somewhat disgruntled. "What do you mean by that?"
"Why don't you ask the people outside how many days you've actually spent in the office throughout the year?"
"What, is Qing CEO planning to conspire with those people outside and gang up on me?"
Xia Yihui sneered, "I will truthfully report everything that happened today to the headquarters. I will make you understand the consequences of arbitrarily firing people! You want me to leave? Ha, I advise you to think about how to keep your current position!"
After Xia Yihui finished her harsh words and was about to leave, Qing Yan's voice lazily resounded.
"Wait."
Qingyan watched her with interest, like a queen looking down from her throne. "This matter indeed needs to be reported to headquarters. Otherwise, they won't know how much the company has been drained by this parasite of yours, how much resources have been wasted."
"What do you mean?" Xia Yihui turned around, her angry eyes fixed on her. "Stop making baseless accusations!"
"I checked the attendance system, and there are traces of modifications."
Qingyan turned her computer 180 degrees and tapped a few keys on the keyboard with her slender fingers.
"As the Minister of Human Resources, you have permission to access the attendance system and manipulate attendance records... Although you erased the modification traces, by applying the ADS formula and a series of program codes, it can be restored quickly."
Qingyan restored the annual attendance record with a single click and smirked. "This is your actual working time. Throughout the year, 365 days, you only worked 78 days."
Everyone outside was shocked!
Although they had seen Xia Yihui absent from work many times, they never expected her attendance rate to be so low!
Only 78 days!
"You received a full year's salary, attendance bonuses, such as the Annual Attendance Champion and Outstanding Employee of the Year, totaling just over five hundred thousand. That's enough to convict you."
"You... You're slandering me..." Xia Yihui's face turned pale, unable to believe the girl in front of her could actually restore her true days at work!
But no matter what, all of this was in the past. As long as she adamantly denied it, what could the company do?
Could the attendance records restored by this girl alone prove anything?
She knows coding, so it's possible she fabricated the attendance! Just to tarnish the reputation of a long-time employee!
"Oh, by the way, I've extracted all the surveillance footage related to you over the past year. You were present at the company for exactly 78 days. Whether it's slander or not, the police will find out at the station."
"What... What are you planning to do..."
"Of course, I will submit this evidence to the police. Whether it's black or white, arguing here is meaningless. The police will reach a conclusion soon."
"You..."
