The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Ruthless Director Suppressing in the Workplace

Qiuling was previously a university student sponsored by Elder Zuo Jing’an.

It was Elder Zuo and Madam Tu Lan who helped her walk out from the mountain area, with the madam insisting she must leave the mountains!

As the least favored child in her family, and being a daughter, Qiuling was almost married off to an old widower in the village for a bridal price of tens of thousands.

It was Madam Tu Lan who noticed her during a research visit and supported her for so many years!

When the Madam couldn’t show up due to secret experiments, Elder Zuo Jing’an funded Qiuling’s college and graduate studies.

In Qiuling’s heart, Elder Zuo and the Madam are her lifelong benefactors!

Not to mention, with the outstanding caliber of Elder Zuo Jing’an and Madam Tu Lan, their granddaughter was definitely not a mediocre person.

Even if Qingwu didn’t have any skills as a university student, Qiuling wouldn’t allow anyone in the company to slap her face!

“Zhong Yue! Not to mention that the design department’s regular meeting is on the third of every month, and the meeting for this month has already taken place. The young misses will someday be the boss of the company; where do you get the audacity not to let her attend the meeting?”

“Moreover, you have seen the design drafts of the young mistress. Do you not know whether she understands design or not?”

“You’ve been with the company for over a decade, are you telling me that you do not comprehend these principles?”

Zhong Yue, in terms of position, was below Qiuling, but he always felt that he held the company’s lifeline and has never looked highly on Qiuling.

“Secretary Hai, your words are somewhat excessive. Who knows if those drafts of the young mistress are her own? She is also unclear about the company’s affairs and design direction; she should adapt first.”

“No matter what, our company is also a leading company in Beijing. I think this month’s meeting needs a review, and to hold an interim meeting also requires reporting to Secretary Hai?”

“What I’m doing is for the good of the young mistress. Meetings like these, typical young ladies do not like them. How tedious! Of course, if the young mistress wishes to attend, we certainly welcome her!”

Qiuling was infuriated by Zhong Yue’s fallacious reasoning!

While she was feeling indignant, Qingwu already stepped out.

“Let’s go, I will attend.”

Zhong Yue’s face froze for a moment!

He indeed wanted to show Qingwu who was in charge as soon as she arrived.

The sight of Qingwu’s jewelry design drafts sent a chill down Zhong Yue’s spine!

Such talent, such strength, cannot be underestimated!

If these really were Qingwu’s drafts, one could imagine that Zhong Yue might not have much say in the company’s design department in the future.

Zhong Yue always believed that in a jewelry company, the design department is the soul. Previously, Elder Zuo Jing’an was not a design professional, and after Shen Boyi took over, he did not interfere with the design department either.

If a new boss who understood design were to arrive, then his days of throwing his weight around in the company might come to an end!

Just the thought of this made Zhong Yue feel like he couldn’t sleep at night.

Thinking that the other party was still a university student and didn’t understand the workings of the professional world, Zhong Yue resolved to marginalize Qingwu within the company!

With this thought, Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, “Welcome, Miss, this way please…”

Qingwu, without even glancing at him, walked into the meeting room with Qiuling and sat down in a corner for observers.

Zhong Yue and the design department’s staff entered the meeting room and were somewhat stunned to see Qingwu sitting aside!

Although dressed in the typical student’s uniform of a pleated skirt and shirt, and with her young, delicate face clearly still a student, it was Qingwu’s calm and piercing gaze that commanded an involuntary respect from everyone present!

Despite her youth, how could the young mistress’s gaze remind them of… Elder Shen?!

The dignity of someone long seated in a position of power was clear in every gesture and action.

Zhong Yue swallowed the words that had reached his lips because of Qingwu’s gaze!

Just a university student; she probably wouldn’t understand what was being said in the meeting!

Zhong Yue handed the meeting room’s water jug to a designer next to him.

“Old Teng, go fetch a kettle of water to boil.”

Qingwu glanced at Old Teng, who appeared to be in his forties, having just seen information about him in the documents.

Teng Qilin, forty-five years old, studied jewelry design in France in his early years and is a second-tier jewelry designer in the industry.

By seniority, Old Teng should have been sitting in the position of chief designer; it’s just that Zhong Yue has been holding him down all this time.

Old Teng gave Zhong Yue a look, picked up the kettle in silence, went out to fill it with water, and came back.

There was displeasure written on his honest and straightforward face, “Next time something like this comes up, I won’t do it. I am a designer, not a handyman.”

Zhong Yue smiled.

“It’s just fetching some water, it’s not tiring.”

“Then why didn’t you do it yourself? Since it’s not tiring.”

The smile on Zhong Yue’s face disappeared instantly!

“Are you implying that from now on you will not do these kinds of tasks? Then, do you have any results to show for your other work?”

Old Teng completely ignored the jab.

“I’ve been with the company for fifteen years. If I had no results to show, the company would have fired me long ago. As a leader, if you are unaware of my design achievements, I am also very curious as to what exactly the chief designer is busy with.”

Everyone fell into a strange silence!

Zhong Yue’s expression could be considered decidedly embarrassed!

He gritted his teeth, “So, you mean to say, besides design, you won’t do any of these miscellaneous tasks?”

“I can do them, but either I work on design, or I do chores, otherwise, I can switch roles to become a janitor as well.”

The implication was that a designer does not do menial tasks!

And a janitor does not do design tasks!

The atmosphere in the conference room became quite weird in an instant.

Qiuling, afraid that Qingwu might not understand, explained softly in her ear.

“In the workplace, it’s understood that interns and newcomers do these things, as part of their training. But Old Teng is a seasoned veteran, and Zhong Yue is suppressing him.”

Qingwu nodded her head.

Such obvious suppression was easy to see at a glance.

No company would have a deputy chief designer, who has been working there for over a decade, serve tea and water.

Qingwu looked down and flipped through the design department’s drafts; the finished designs usually had Zhong Yue’s name on them, but upon looking at the initial drafts, Old Teng’s were actually the best.

The finished designs that Zhong Yue submitted all had traces from Old Teng’s initial drafts.

Those in the design field are very sensitive to these details!

Zhong Yue’s own drafts were not that outstanding; once he added some elements borrowed from Old Teng’s drafts, they transformed into a perfect design blueprint.

Shen Boyi didn’t usually have much time to manage personnel affairs at Feileng Jewelry Company, and since most of the employees were long-time staff, he did not spend time on management either.

But now it seems, the company that Elder Shen handed over to him did indeed have some minor issues.

Zhong Yue looked at Old Teng with a displeased expression!

Having been embarrassed in front of the new leader, Old Teng’s future days were not going to be easy!

Qingwu spoke up with a cold voice.

“What about the actual content of the meeting? Leave tasks like fetching water to logistics, don’t waste time. If Director Zhong’s meeting is only about these things, I’m seriously doubting whether you are holding a meeting or playing house.”

“If you’re suggesting that Director Zhong’s play-acting meetings also need this many people, are you just seeking parents to play games with? I didn’t expect Director Zhong to be so young at heart!”
