Chapter 132: The Self-Righteous Boss

Han Jiani said, "Not going."

Then she asked with a grievance-filled expression, "Mom, Dad, actually I've never been able to understand, a family like ours is already in the upper class domestically, wouldn't it be fine if we just went to socialize with upper-class people every day? Why do we have to go to work at the company?"

Han Jiani only wanted to be a socialite.

Ms. Qu sneered, "Upper class? The upper class only looks at that First Branch family; what do we count as? People on the outside don't acknowledge us at all. Even if you could mingle with a group of socialites every day, they might not necessarily look up to you."

Han Jiani felt helpless; it was indeed true.

Her friends nowadays were all a bunch of spoiled rich kids, living a life of debauchery every day. Unlike those true socialites who all used the pretext of socializing to pull business for their families, where would she have that ability?

Ms. Qu added, "It would be best if you could go to work and get a thorough grasp of Baiyin Group so that you can be promoted in the future. Now that Han Yangting has fallen and the old man's health is failing, a yellow-haired girl is in charge; she won't be able to hold on for long. Once we have a thorough grasp of the company and take the position in the future, it will be possible to slowly take over the power."

Han Jiani had no choice but to say reluctantly, "Fine, I understand. I just don't want to be an assistant; if I'm going to be one, I should be an Administrative Director. If that doesn't work, a deputy one is fine too."

Ms. Qu rolled her eyes at her and did not reply.

The study.

After the meal, Han Chunqiu went to Han Jinbu's room.

"Dad, have you eaten?"

Han Jinbu was writing calligraphy in his gloomy room, putting on airs, and only responded after a long while: "What did you come to find me for?"

Han Chunqiu walked in front of Han Jinbu and sat down, looking timid and submissive: "Dad, your calligraphy is getting better and better. This 'enduring humiliation for the sake of a greater cause' is written very wonderfully."

Han Jinbu rolled his eyes at his son and said, "You don't need to put on an act in front of me; I already know what you've done."

"Me? What have I done?"

Han Jinbu glanced at him: "The matter of you dealing with Han Yangting—your method was too extreme. Although it passed through several hands, it's still easy for people to investigate. I'm afraid the First Branch already knows; they just don't have the evidence to accuse you."

Han Chunqiu straightened his body and said, "Then let them find the evidence."

"From now on, they will target you even more at the company. I'm afraid there won't be any opportunities for promotion."

Han Chunqiu said, "Those people at the company are all opportunists. As long as I keep fanning the flames, they will waver sooner or later and refuse to acknowledge a yellow-haired girl like Bai Shuruo."

Han Jinbu finished his calligraphy, took a fan to slowly fan the ink dry, and then said, "In any case, you must be careful in everything. Don't do the same thing twice; it's easy to arouse suspicion. Also, take advantage of the fact that the First Branch has no power to fight back right now and prepare for a counterattack."

"I know, Father."

At the same time, Ye Caiyue was also chatting with Ali.

Ye Caiyue asked Ali, "There's nothing unusual at the company, right?"

Ali said, "Not for the moment."

Ye Caiyue said, "The most important thing now is to secretly investigate the actions of the Second Branch. Ruoruo is simple-minded; the reason I put her in that position is mainly to let her attract the Second Branch's fire. Now the Second Branch's plans are all centered around her, so we must take an unconventional approach and seize the Second Branch's handle as soon as possible."

Ali looked at Ye Caiyue with admiration.

Ginger really is spicier when it's old.

Ye Caiyue added, "Don't tell Ruoruo about these things; if she finds out, it's easy to give the game away. If she makes any decisions in the company, don't stop her either; she needs to be tempered."

"Understood, Madam."

Baiyin, Administrative Department.

Han Jiani came to report for duty today.

Arriving at the same time was Meng Ze.

The two were waiting at a table outside the Administrative Department to process their paperwork.

Seeing Meng Ze, Han Jiani asked with some disdain, "Are you also joining the Administrative Department? What kind of work will you be doing?"

Meng Ze said, "Administrative Assistant. May I ask if this young lady is also a newcomer to the Administrative Department?"

"What young lady, you're the young lady! I am..." Han Jiani was very unconvinced, but she remembered Ms. Qu saying not to reveal her identity casually, lest it make it difficult to start work.

She said, "Forget it, what's the use of telling you? We're both assistants, we'll be on equal footing from now on."

Meng Ze ignored her.

How could he not know who was sitting next to him? Just a spoiled and willful young lady from the Han Family's Second Branch.

Not long after, both finished their paperwork and were assigned to cubicles.

Looking at this cubicle, Han Jiani was disgusted to death. She had thought that after she started working, she would have her own independent office; she didn't expect to share an office with more than ten people. She was practically about to explode with anger.

There were two empty seats here, one by the window and one by the aisle. Seeing Meng Ze walk toward the seat by the window, Han Jiani hurriedly tugged at Meng Ze: "Move aside, I want to sit in that seat by the window."

Meng Ze didn't care and said, "Suit yourself."

After sitting down, Han Jiani still couldn't stop her disgust.

She took an air freshener out of her bag and sprayed it all around.

There were other people in the office, and seeing Han Jiani's behavior, they couldn't help but whisper: "Did we hire an ancestor?"

"Where did this young miss come from?"

"I heard her surname is Han, get it?"

"Oh, got it."

"Hey, that new guy is actually quite handsome. With that build, he could even be a model; why come here to be an administrative assistant?"

Bai Shuruo had been busy for most of the day again today.

At noon, the company cook made her a meal in the kitchen, and she waited until the food was cold before she had time to eat it.

Her stomach was already not good, and with the busyness, she felt stomach pain as she ate.

So she returned to her office, drank a large cup of hot water, and took a nap on the sofa.

Although she was very tired, she couldn't sleep at all; her brain was still running at high speed, so she took out her phone, wanting to scroll through some videos to relax.

Then she saw the message Meng Ze sent: 【Supervisor Bai, I have arrived in Beishi and have already started working at your husband's company.】

Bai Shuruo replied: 【I know. You originally applied for the position of CEO's assistant, but I felt that you have changed jobs a bit too often, and I was worried you wouldn't last long, so I didn't hire you for that. Putting you in the Administrative Department was my decision.】

Meng Ze: 【Do you know why I always change jobs? It's because I always run into bosses like you who think they know everything. Of course, Bai Shunan is the exception; leaving her company was for my own personal reasons.】

Bai Shuruo thought to herself: This person is quite narcissistic.

However, it seemed he wasn't wrong; he really was a very capable person, and he certainly wouldn't be able to stay as an assistant in the Administrative Department for long.

Bai Shuruo asked: 【Why did you give up design?】

Meng Ze: 【Didn't you give it up too? Because you wanted to go to a better position.】

Bai Shuruo was speechless for a moment.
