Design Department.
General Manager’s Office.
After settling into his boss chair, Sun Mingjun had his assistant brew a pot of tea for him.
As he sipped his tea, he waited for Ma Wenwen.
A moment later,
Ma Wenwen walked into his office.
“Sit down!”
Sun Mingjun casually pointed to the chair in front of his desk, then picked up his teacup and leisurely began to drink.
Ma Wenwen, not standing on ceremony, pulled back the chair and sat opposite him. Seeing that Sun Mingjun didn’t speak, Ma Wenwen kept quiet as well, just sitting silently.
She understood that Sun Mingjun was putting pressure on her, letting her stew.
If she had been a newcomer to the workforce, she might have been bluffed by Sun Mingjun’s little trick, but Ma Wenwen was already a veteran employee, and furthermore, she was prepared to resign if necessary.
So she simply ignored Sun Mingjun. If you want to talk, talk; if you don’t, then let’s just wait!
Perhaps realizing that Ma Wenwen wasn’t falling for it, a disinterested Sun Mingjun put down his teacup.
“Wenwen, last night President Ding specifically wanted to see you,”
“but you flatly refused without giving him any face. He’s a partner of our company. Offending him won’t do you any good.”
“The call I made asking you to go over was for your own benefit, it can be very helpful for your advancement within the company!”
“Moreover, even from a personal standpoint, networking with someone like President Ding can only be beneficial for your own growth…”
Sun Mingjun crossed his arms, his expression serious as he spewed persuasive rhetoric.
“Then I thank you, President Sun!”
Ma Wenwen replied with a forced smile after he finished speaking.
“No need to thank me, you should take my words to heart!”
Sun Mingjun said with a stern face. He was no fool and could see that Ma Wenwen wasn’t taking his words seriously.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work.”
Ma Wenwen stood up, ready to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
Sun Mingjun frowned, glanced outside the office to ensure that no one was around, and with the door closed, he lowered his voice to speak, “You should know President Ding’s influence.” Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
“He really appreciates you and asked me to pass on a message. President Ding said, as long as you’re willing to meet him, you can name any conditions or just set a price…”
Set a price??
Ma Wenwen, already unwilling to listen, was appalled that Sun Mingjun was actually suggesting pimping?
She slammed the table and then pointed at Sun Mingjun’s nose as she confronted him: “What do you think I am??”
“Is Yiren Clothing a legitimate business, or is it a club like Shang K??”
“I’m going to ask Director Zhao about this now!”
With that, Ma Wenwen turned and left. She was truly disgusted. Since she had already resolved not to stay with the company, she decided to go report the matter to the executive responsible for their department!
Even if the company took no action against Sun Mingjun, she wanted to make him suffer.
“Ma Wenwen, don’t be ungrateful for the kindness I’ve shown you!”
“I told you all this for your own good, and now you want to go to Director Zhao? Fine, go ahead!”
“Let’s see what Director Zhao has to say!”
Sun Mingjun was furious, cursing under his breath, but he was inwardly confident.
Because he knew Director Zhao would definitely side with him; after all, he was considering the company’s best interests. Since Ding Hui was a major client, Director Zhao would have to give him face and was unlikely to offend a client over a mere employee like Ma Wenwen.
Ma Wenwen slammed Sun Mingjun’s office door shut forcefully.
The loud “bang” startled some colleagues in the common office area, causing many to instinctively look up at her.
Ma Wenwen didn’t return to her workstation but headed straight for the executive office.
Director Zhao Jincheng had just arrived at the company. He had just turned on his computer, and, as usual, began to browse the morning news to check for any relevant industry trends.
Just then, his secretary informed him that Ma Wenwen from the Design Department had work-related matters to report.
Director Zhao furrowed his brows; it was not proper protocol for Ma Wenwen to report directly to him. Something was off.
After a moment’s hesitation, he asked the secretary to bring her in.
“Director Zhao, I would like to report an issue with Sun Mingjun’s work ethic…”
Since she had already made up her mind to resign, Ma Wenwen held nothing back and directly presented Sun Mingjun’s behavior to Director Zhao.
After listening, Director Zhao said with a grave face, “I will take the situation you’ve described seriously and verify it.”
“If it turns out to be true, the company will definitely handle it with severity!”
Clearly, Director Zhao was speaking in platitudes. Talk of serious verification and handling the matter strictly were just deferrals.
“I can confront Sun Mingjun face to face!”
Ma Wenwen declared defiantly.
“That won’t be necessary for now, you go back to work, I will talk to Sun Mingjun.”
Director Zhao gently waved his hand. Although he appeared to be fair, his stance was already very clear.
Disappointed, Ma Wenwen shook her head and couldn’t help but ask, “So, as long as it benefits the company, employees are just chips to be played, right?”
Director Zhao frowned; he hadn’t expected Ma Wenwen to be so persistent and her question so sharp.
Of course, the answer was yes, but such matters could not be openly acknowledged.
He even wanted to say there were plenty of female employees who would jump at the chance to do such things.
That’s the reality!
“The company will of course prioritize the interests of its employees!”
