Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 143: Digging Your Own Grave (1)

After saying that, it was as if he had touched something nasty. Zhao Yifei patted his hands in disgust before he turned around and left the office. He acted like spending another minute with Zhao Youxi was unbearable torture to him.

With a bang, the office’s door was closed just like that. Zhao Youxi recovered from the pain in her arm. She looked up at the closed office door. Other than tears, her slightly red eyes were full of intense spite and madness.

‘Zhao Yifei, I won’t forget any of the insults you gave me today. One day, I’ll trample you underfoot. I’ll make you understand the true meaning of being base-bred!’

On the other side, Zhao Yifei had just walked out of the office when he heard some noise in the distance. Before he could react, some murmurs entered his ears.

“Hey, did you guys hear? The president is going to bring a new general manager here today.”

“How could we not know? Your news is outdated, okay? I’ve met the new general manager. She’s gorgeous.”

“Gorgeous? The new general manager is a woman?”

“Yes. She’s a young and gorgeous girl. Judging by her look, she’s probably younger than us. Over there, I think the one who just walked over is her.”

“Where? Where?”

Hearing the terms young and gorgeous, Zhao Yifei’s eyes lit up instantly. He practically looked reflexively in the direction the girls were pointing.

After getting a clear look at the figure who walked past the hallway, Zhao Yifei’s expression changed slightly. His eyes narrowed and were filled with disbelief. How could it be… her?

Zhao Youxi took a long time calming herself down. She got a message from her superior out of the blue when she walked out of the office, asking the heads of all departments, including her, to meet in the meeting room.

Zhao Youxi simply straightened herself up and hurriedly went to the meeting room. Though she did not expect to see a figure she least wanted to see in the room.

‘This woman… What is this woman doing here? How could she be here? Could it be… No… It can’t be!’

Zhao Shunrong was standing beside Zhao Youlin. Seeing that most of the main persons in charge of the company had arrived, he opened his mouth and said, “I called all of you here on such short notice today because I have something to announce.”

Most of the people in the meeting room had worked under Zhao Shunrong for a long time, so they knew his character very well.

When they saw that Zhao Shunrong being so solemn, all of them sat upright on their chairs with their ears perked, waiting for Zhao Shunrong’s further instructions.

Zhao Shunrong was satisfied to see everyone focusing their attention on him. He pointed to Zhao Youlin beside him and made brief introductions. “This is my daughter, Zhao Youlin. From now on, she is the general manager of Zhao Enterprise. All of you have worked here long enough, so I hope you can assist her and look after her in the company.”

As soon as Zhao Shunrong said that, everyone in the meeting room was stupefied. It was not just because it was rare to see Zhao Shunrong say such a long sentence to them, it was also because of the content of what he said.

Did the president just ask them to help and look after the new general manager in the company?

Look after her? Look after her? Their president was well known for his impartiality and ruthlessness in the company and even in the industry. He had never been seen to be pleasant to any of his subordinates, yet he actually asked them to look after a girl today. Have the pigs started flying?

Most importantly, when did the president have a daughter this age? How come they did not know?

Despite being shocked, since their boss had given the word, how could they not obey him? Therefore, many of them had actually started to gauge the importance of Zhao Youlin to Zhao Shunrong as well as her power in the company.

Zhao Shunrong took in everyone’s reaction and knew the time was ripe. So he winked at Zhao Youlin before he said, “Youlin, say hello to everyone.”

Zhao Yulin had already felt a few gazes fixated on her. Unlike most people’s inquisitive and curious stares, these gazes were extremely aggressive, making her feel the hostility they held against her.

Zhao Youlin subtly glanced in the direction of those gazes. As she expected, she saw two acquaintances, plus a few strangers who she did not know. They were probably competitors eyeing her position.

Getting Zhao Shunrong’s hint, the corner of Zhao Youlin’s lips curled. She deliberately raised a bright smile in Zhao Youxi’s direction and said aloud, “Hi everyone, I’m Zhao Youlin. I’ll work together with you as the general manager in the future. Looking forward to working with all of you.”

The people echoed her greetings and expressed immediately that they would try their best to cooperate with Zhao Youlin. The only one who remained silent was Zhao Youxi, whose face darkened.

That smile of Zhao Youlin was nothing less than an audacious provocation in Zhao Youxi’s eyes.

In that instant, Zhao Youlin’s beautiful face had twisted into a threatening demon in Zhao Youxi’s eyes. She could not be more obnoxious!

When Zhao Shunrong saw that Zhao Youlin had familiarized herself with everyone and his job here was done, he said, “Well, I got all of you over here just to announce this. So, if there is nothing else, you can all go back to work.”

Hearing Zhao Shunrong say that, the crowd once again confirmed the importance of Zhao Youlin to their superior.

The fact that he called everyone here in such a hurry just to introduce a person showed her importance to the president! It looked like they would really have to pay more attention to their new general manager in the future.

Zhao Shunrong’s protection over Zhao Youlin was obvious to everyone, though some people just had to be retarded.

Just when everyone was getting up to leave the meeting room, a sudden voice broke the harmonious atmosphere in the meeting room and made everyone stop what they were doing.

“Unc… President, I object to this matter!” Zhao Youxi was going to call him uncle, but under Zhao Shunrong’s icy glare, she was forced to call him president instead.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes gathered on the person who spoke. Zhao Youxi forced herself to keep her head up and meet the eyes of the crowd confidently.

The crowd frowned and shifted their gazes from her to Zhao Shunrong on the other side, wanting to see how he would handle the matter.

Zhao Shunrong’s eyebrows knitted fiercely when he heard Zhao Youxi’s shout. He did not approve of the old man’s decision to give Zhao Youlin a position in the company, but despite his reluctance, Zhao Youlin was now his and Duan Yarong’s daughter. He could disapprove of the old man’s jobbery based on his concerns about the company’s development, but he would not allow others to question his daughter’s capability.

“What rights do you have to object?” Zhao Shunrong’s voice was as calm as ever, but it vaguely contained a hint of danger.
