97 Madam, What Are You Doing Here?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhuang Nainai was about to talk back, but she looked up at the badge on his chest that said "Imperial Group" and instantly calmed herself.

If she were to talk back to her superior, it would be reported all the way upwards. Would Si Zhengting be embarrassed if he were to find out?

It's better to keep out of trouble.

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath to control her anger.

Besides, it was commonplace to pick on the new guy at work, almost an unspoken rule in every company.

Zhuang Nainai bowed her head. "Noted, leader."

Zhang Chaowen grunted and tossed a thumbdrive on her desk. "Go print everything inside and bring them to the meeting room later. Our department is in charge of the venue design at the Imperial Group's 100th year anniversary celebration and we will need them."

Zhuang Nainai picked it up and nodded. "Sure."

She walked to the printing room and inserted the thumbdrive to the computer, only to find that there were at least a hundred documents in there.

What exactly was she supposed to print?

She reached the team leader on the internal line and asked for clarification, but she was lambasted over the phone. "Aren't you very talented? How could you not know which file we will be needing later? What do you know? The meeting starts at 2 pm, bring the printed copy over on time!"

He then hung up the phone abruptly with a loud thud.

Zhuang Nainai was furious. It's alright to pick on the newbie, but this was purely bullying and making things impossible for her!

However, there was no way he could stump her!

A glint of determination flashed across Zhuang Nainai's eyes. She sat down in front of the computer and opened the files one by one.

At 2 pm sharp.

Zhang Chaowen's face was grim in the meeting room.

The employees on the venue design team sat up front.

Someone whispered in a low voice, "Why is Leader Zhang targeting a newbie?"

"Haven't you heard?" another replied. "This newcomer is a special hire. We've not had any special hires all these years apart from Boss Mi. I heard… this person will probably replace Leader Zhang."

"That's… impossible! She's too young! Even if Leader Zhang left, it should be our turn to be promoted."

"Exactly, she graduated not long ago, what gives her the right to lead us?"

The meeting room broke out in chatters and debates.

Right then, the door was pushed open. Zhuang Nainai stepped in front of Zhang Chaowen with a thick stack of documents in her arms. "Leader Zhang, they are printed."

Zhang Chaowen looked at the time. The minute hand jumped to reflect 2:01 pm. He wrinkled his brows and grunted, instructing Zhuang Nainai to leave the documents at the side. He then opened his laptop, projected the required documents onto the screen, and started the meeting.

Zhuang Nainai was speechless. They did not need any hardcopy documents for the meeting, he was just trying to make her life difficult by asking her to print them.

Burning rage instantly grew within her.

But she kept her composure and sat down in the last row professionally, looking at the projector.

She was just getting the hang of the meeting when Zhang Chaowen suddenly stopped. He looked to Zhuang Nainai and continued, "Zhuang Nainai, please get me a cup of coffee, one creamer and two sugar cubes. Thank you."

Zhuang Nainai was flabbergasted. She was not the tea lady!

She looked at him and gritted her teeth, but she still stood to take his order.

Zhang Chaowen looked to the others. "Do you guys want anything?"

They all added to the order. "I want a cup of green tea!"

"I will have coffee, half milk and half sugar, thanks!"

"I want…"

Zhuang Nainai memorized everyone's drink orders and walked to the pantry grudgingly. She was surprised to see Ji Chen resting in there.

Ji Chen turned and was equally shocked to see Zhuang Nainai. He questioned curiously, "Madam, what are you doing here?"
