Ch. 161..165: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 161-165
Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Went to the company to find him Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Went to the company to find him Yin Hehe was finally persuaded.
The bottle wouldn’t fetch much money if she took it to an antique market to resell; she might even get cheated.
Yin Hehe took the assistant’s car to the downtown area.
“Miss Han, I’ll leave you here so you can take a cab to the company, Otherwise, if the president sees me, he’ll say I’m too nosy again.”
Xu Guannan dropped her off about two kilometers from Shengshi Group and let her out.
Yin Hehe nodded in acknowledgment.
After a moment, she didn’t hail a taxi but walked towards the direction of that high-rise building instead.
She could use the time to think things over.
“Beep beep—”
“Hurry, I’m going to be late, there are only five minutes left!”
“Sister Zhang, wait for me!!”
“…”
After walking for a full half-hour, she finally reached the entrance of the skyscraper.
It was peak morning sign-in time, and the newly arrived employees rushed inside as if on some urgent mission, several female employees not even caring about their personal appearance.
Yin Hehe stopped in her tracks.
It was only after everyone had entered and quiet had returned to the entrance that she slowly strolled towards it.
“Hello, I’m looking for a secretary named Chen.”
“Are you referring to President Chen Xiaosen’s executive secretary? Who might you be?”
The glittering company lobby receptionist didn’t remember Yin Hehe from her last visit.
Yin Hehe felt relieved inside: “I’m his sister.”
The receptionist began making a phone call.
That’s the advantage of not mentioning the scoundrel’s name. Otherwise, with his status, it wouldn’t be easy to see him on a whim.
“Okay, Secretary Chen will be right down.”
Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, the receptionist gave her the good news.
Yin Hehe felt a surge of triumph.
She only waited for about ten minutes when someone came down from the elevator. Yin Hehe saw a young man in a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses, looking confused as he walked out.
“My sister… madam? What are you doing here?”
He finally spotted her.
In an instant, a cold breath was sucked in through his throat, and he hurried over, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock.
Yin Hehe showed a hint of apology: “I’m sorry to bother you again, Secretary Chen.”
“It’s no problem, but Madam, did you need me for something?”
Chen Xiaosen called her “Madam” again.
Yin Hehe, upon hearing this, finally frowned: “Secretary Chen, I’m no longer your president’s wife. Please, change the way you address me.”
“…All right then.”
“By the way, is your president busy right now? I actually came to speak with him about something.”
Yin Hehe finally broached the real subject.
Unexpectedly, the remark seemed to astonish the bewildered young secretary in front of her.
“Miss Han, why would you need to come to the company to see the president? Don’t you live with him? Didn’t you clear everything up when you got up this morning?”
“…”
Yin Hehe felt her ears turn red.
“Secretary Chen, although I’m living in Shengfei Bay, I’m there as a housekeeper. There are clear boundaries between master and servant; I can’t just speak to him whenever I feel like it, can I?”
She desperately wanted to slap some sense into the secretary.
How could he be so clueless? Didn’t he realize that they were already divorced?
Fortunately, after her explanation, the secretary finally seemed to come to his senses.
“I’m sorry about that, Miss Han. Let me take you upstairs then.”
Following that, he took Yin Hehe to the elevator area, and soon, the two of them arrived at the top floor.
“How come… she’s here again?”
“Right, isn’t she that nanny? The one from the CEO’s ex-wife’s family, has she been here all along?”
“…”
The memory of the people in the CEO’s office was clearly much better.
As soon as Yin Hehe appeared, they all turned their gazes toward her in unison, recognizing her.
Indeed, last time she had come here for Cen Bao’s sake, to find that despicable man. In order to force him to meet her, she deliberately announced that he had been married and divorced, proclaiming she was the nanny of his ex-wife.
That day, he almost strangled her to death!
In the midst of such pointing and whispering, Yin Hehe recalled the previous incident, her heart surging with a lingering fear.
She ignored these people and went straight in.
A few minutes later, the CEO’s office door was pushed open, revealing a man standing in front of his desk, sorting documents in preparation for a meeting. Seeing her, his expression momentarily paused in the bright light streaming in from the window.
“What are you doing here?”
As expected, as soon as he spoke, his deep voice was extremely cold.
Yin Hehe’s fingers tightened again in an instant.
She took a deep breath, closed the office door behind her, and then, under the scrutiny of this man’s sharp gaze,
she took steps toward him.
“Mr. Sheng, I’d like to talk to you about the debt of one hundred million I owe you.”
“Heh heh~~”
One sentence made the man’s expression even more impatient.
“There’s nothing to talk about. Since Miss Han thinks all this is my conspiracy, then you should pay me back that one hundred million in your own way!”
After saying this coldly, he grabbed the organized files from the desk, ready to leave for the meeting.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe finally became desperate.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng, I previously judged you by my petty standards. Don’t take it to heart. I came here today mainly to talk to you about joining… some matters concerning Shengshi Group.”
She finally bit the bullet and blurted out these words behind the man.
When under someone else’s roof, how can you not bow your head?
Fortunately, after her words, the man in front of her finally stopped, just steps away from the doorway.
“Oh, Attorney Lan, you finally deign to join my Shengshi?”
He turned around.
In that moment, that handsome face looking at Yin Hehe was obviously wearing a slight smug smile.
This was pure triumph!
Yin Hehe had to endure it.
“You flatter me, Mr. Sheng. To be able to join such a distinguished company as Shengshi Group is my honor. I just wondered if you have time to sit down now? So we can properly discuss our collaboration?”
“No!”
Unexpectedly, that cruel man outright rejected her proposal.
“Miss Han, I am, after all, the president of this company. Chen Xiaosen bringing you up here to see me was already an exception. According to the procedure, minor matters like yours would have to wait at least a month!”
“You—”
Yin Hehe was finally so angry she couldn’t hold back anymore…
She stared at the man. In that instant, the humiliation she had been repressing for so long was harshly ridiculed once again.
Her entire body even began to tremble slightly.
“Fine, if that’s the case…”
“However, Attorney Lan, considering you once saved my life, I can make another exception for you. Wait obediently here, and we’ll talk after my meeting.”
Then, the man opened the door and left.
Yin Hehe was left standing in the office, her full rage not yet vented, suddenly stuck in her throat, making her so uncomfortable she felt like smashing his entire office.
This bastard!
In the end, Yin Hehe still stayed in the office.
Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Finally Got into the Company Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Finally Got into the Company “Oh my God, why did the president leave her alone in the office? Could it be that he asked her to clean up?”
“Maybe, what else can a nanny do?”
The staff of the president’s office saw that Yin Hehe did not go out, and they began to gossip again outside.
Of course, they simply regarded her as a nanny.
However, at that moment, Yin Hehe, utterly bored in the office, saw the clutter on the coffee table and truly began to tidy up.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
As she busied herself, the telephone in the office rang.
Yin Hehe turned her head and saw that it was the landline on that man’s desk; she ignored it and continued with her work.
But two minutes later, seeing that no one answered, the phone stubbornly rang again.
“Hello?”
Yin Hehe had no choice but to pick up the receiver.
“Hello, this is the Legal Department. Are you Xiaoguan from the president’s office? Xiaoguan, can you think of a way to find the president for me? I have an urgent matter for him.”
It was a call from the company’s Legal Department.
Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe responded without a second thought, “He’s in a meeting.”
“I know, that’s why I wanted you to help me come up with an idea. That star named Dai Lu still won’t agree to our proposed compensation, and she insists on suing us. Otherwise, she said she would come and make trouble at Shengshi Group.”
This person from the Legal Department actually knew Siyuan was in a meeting.
And she was calling to get Siyuan, who was still in a meeting, to help them come up with ideas for the Legal Department.
Useless indeed.
Listening to this, Yin Hehe remembered what Xiaosen had complained about the last time he found her in Aurora City—complaining that Shengshi Group’s Legal Department was useless and couldn’t handle anything.
At last, she got to witness it for herself.
“Then let her make a fuss. When she’s had enough, just file a lawsuit with the court and make her compensate Shengshi Group for the damages.”
“Huh?” The person from the Legal Department was suddenly stunned.
“We’re… going to sue her?”
“We can’t? Everyone is equal before the law. She sues on her part, and you sue on yours. Is there an issue?”
Yin Hehe once again coldly reminded this brainless person.
There was finally no response on the phone.
They seemed to be surprised by the strategy they had never considered before, or perhaps shocked that the person answering the phone upstairs had such a smart solution.
Isn’t she just a clerk from the president’s office?
How could she think of these things?
Yin Hehe couldn’t be bothered to explain. When she heard the silence, she hung up the phone.
This time, she did not stay long in the office before the man who had been in the meeting returned.
“Mr. Sheng, can we talk now?”
Already waiting for so long, she was becoming impatient. Seeing him return, she approached him with her question directly.
Sheng Siyuan tossed the documents in his hand onto the desk, and without answering her question, he sat down comfortably at his desk.
“Didn’t you see that I just finished being busy? Make me a cup of coffee.”
“…”
Keep enduring!
Yin Hehe turned around obediently and went to make coffee for him.
While preparing it, in order to facilitate things, she specifically made it according to his previous taste, neither too strong nor too weak, and she even added a bit of fresh milk.
His stomach had been damaged by taking too many medicines for a heart condition in the past.
So, afterwards, when he drank these energizing beverages, he would always add some fresh milk to neutralize it.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Looking at the cup of coffee with a milky hue before him, finally, a slight arc rose in the depths of his eyes.
“Speak, what are your terms for discussion?”
“I want to talk about my conditions for joining Shengshi, Mr. Sheng. I always led my own team at Landun. So, I hope that after coming here, I won’t be on a fixed annual salary. Instead, I want to contract out your Legal Department.”
“Pfft!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the man who was drinking coffee spat it out in shock.
Contract out his Legal Department?
Indeed, this woman was arrogant enough, and she had the confidence! Truly a chief attorney out of Landun!
Sheng Siyuan took a while to calm himself down.
“So, you mean you want to earn a commission?”
“Right, according to international legal practices, we take a 5% cut for winning a case. My rate would be higher, but here, I won’t increase it—it will still be at that rate. What do you think?”
Yin Hehe looked at the man calmly, laying out her conditions logically.
The man quietly watched her.
At this moment, he actually noticed a very apparent change in this woman: her aura had completely changed from before.
Earlier, she exhibited a bit of the temper of a woman who had been provoked.
But now, her eyes held only the composed pressure of confrontation.
It was as if this was her courtroom, and he was her defendant. In her pupils, devoid of the slightest hint of emotion, there was nothing but her own goals.
“I don’t mind, but have you ever considered, Ms. Lan? With your capabilities, you’re bound to tarnish your reputation at Shengshi Group. Once this gets out, won’t it affect you at all?”
Sheng Siyuan withdrew his gaze and took a sip of his coffee before speaking.
Yin Hehe choked.
How frustrating, she hadn’t thought of this!
“Therefore, my suggestion is that you start here as an ordinary employee. As for the commission, don’t worry—as long as you handle the case, in addition to your annual salary, I will give you an extra amount.”
The man drinking coffee saw her face collapse suddenly and his eyes twitched; he added generously.
“Really?”
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the woman looked up again.
Sheng Siyuan raised an eyebrow, “Of course, if Ms. Lan has time now, we can sign the contract right away.”
“Alright, bring it here, I’ll sign.”
She agreed so readily it was almost unseemly.
The man was silent for several seconds before he picked up the phone on the desk: “Chen Xiaosen, come in and take her to HR to complete the onboarding process.”
Chen Xiaosen: “!!!!”
—
HR Department.
When Yin Hehe finally emerged with the employment contract in hand, Chen Xiaosen still couldn’t believe it was real.
“Madam, am I dreaming? Are you really going to work here as an ordinary employee? But you are…”
“But what? I now owe your boss a whopping one billion, how else am I to repay him if not work for him? Beg on the streets?”
Yin Hehe looked at the contract, and it was incredibly hard to swallow.
For five years, she thought she had made it big on her own, enough to trample this insufferable man underfoot.
But now, she realized she had never escaped the palm of his hand!
Damn it!
Yin Hehe went back with a gloomy face.
Meanwhile, the sudden special recruitment of an employee to the Legal Department by the CEO caused quite a stir in the company.
“Just who is that person anyway? To warrant the CEO to recruit her specially, does she have some sort of background?”
“Yeah, isn’t she just the former wife’s family’s nanny?”
“What?!!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the company was completely abuzz.
Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Rather Die than Lose Face, Suffer for Vanity Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Rather Die than Lose Face, Suffer for Vanity A nanny suddenly went to the company to work in legal affairs.
Indeed, such a change would shock anyone, even Yin Hehe found it absurd.
Fortunately, Sheng Siyuan hadn’t let the HR department write down the annual salary in the contract, otherwise the entire Shengshi Building would have blown up.
Yin Hehe returned to Shengfei Bay.
“Mommy, does that mean you’re going to work at Daddy’s place tomorrow?”
As soon as she came back, the little ones heard about what Mommy was doing and all rushed to her room like a whirlwind.
Yin Hehe nodded, “Yeah, your mom owes him money.”
Little Bun: “Silly Mommy~~”
Cen Bao: “…”
Little fists clenched, not knowing what to say.
On the other hand, Sheng Xi, who had been silent, felt a surge of joy after confirming the news.
“Don’t worry, with Mommy’s capabilities, it won’t be for long, and then Mommy will take you away.”
Seeing the two little ones’ faces fall, Yin Hehe quickly reassured them.
Sheng Xi’s little head immediately perked up.
“You’re leaving again?”
He looked at this woman, his small face, so much like his daddy’s, full of hurt expressions.
Yin Hehe: “…”
Little Bun: “Of course, we have to leave, Xi, brother. This isn’t our home.”
Cen Bao: “Exactly, this place has never been our home. Our home is in Aurora City.”
Unexpectedly, even Cen Bao, who had been here for so long, said this.
In that instant, Sheng Xi’s face turned pale, and he turned and ran.
“Xi Bao, where are you going?”
Yin Hehe hurriedly ran out, startled.
Had she known these little ones would react like this, she wouldn’t have brought up the topic.
She chased after him.
But in the blink of an eye, Sheng Xi had run into his own room and “bam”—shut the door!
No matter how much Yin Hehe knocked, he didn’t open.
“Brother, why is Xi brother angry? Doesn’t he like us anymore?”
Little Bun poked her head out from her room and saw Mommy knocking continuously at Xi brother’s door, but Xi brother didn’t open it.
She immediately ran to her own brother and asked in a baby voice.
Cen Bao’s little forehead wrinkled deeply.
He of course knew why his brother was angry—it was because he also agreed to Mommy taking them away.
But why should he stay here?
For so long, he hadn’t seen even the slightest improvement in Daddy’s attitude towards Mommy. Now Daddy was even bullying Mommy, making her work in his company!
The little guy’s fists were almost crushed.
“Brother?”
“Don’t worry about him. Right now, what we need to do is to figure out how to pay off this debt for Mommy quickly, and then take Mommy and run.”
“Yay~~”
Little Bun immediately happily agreed.
But the scene of that day, they did not know, had already been witnessed by another person.
“This bitch, she’s just cunningly wormed her way into Shengshi Group, and now she’s starting to mistreat my son, I will kill her!!”
The hysterical roar came from the second floor of the Lin Family, making people’s scalps tingle.
When Lin’s mother heard it, fearing it would draw the neighbors’ attention, she had to come up again.
“Shuangshuang, what’s wrong again? Didn’t your father just calm you down yesterday?”
“No, mom, look at this bitch. She’s mistreating Sheng Xi, mistreating my son!! She must be about to lay hands on him, and now that she’s entered Shengshi Group, after getting rid of my son, the company, and even Sheng Siyuan will all be hers!!”
She shouted excitedly with her phone in hand, pacing the room like a madwoman, her eyes bloodshot.
Lin’s mother listened, and at last, her expression became solemn too.
“Is that so? But that child was originally hers…”
“Mom, he is still my son!!” Before she could finish her sentence, her voice was abruptly cut off by the woman’s strident scream.
“It’s mine, she will definitely try to get rid of it. I tell you, if this child is gone, then my last bargaining chip is gone too, and there is no hope of returning at all.”
“!!!!!”
Finally, hearing these words, the mother outside was reminded.
“Right, right, so in that case, I’ll go find your father right now, and we’ll discuss a plan.”
“Don’t go!”
The woman inside immediately raised her voice to stop the mother.
Because she knew, if the father came, he would certainly not let her out.
“Mom, listen to me, let me out. I promise you, I’m just going to save the child, I won’t mess around.”
“But…”
“Hurry up, if you don’t let me out now, it will be too late. Do you want our Lin Family to have no chance in the future?”
Seeing some hesitation in the mother, she immediately urged again.
But in reality, no one noticed that as she said this, there was a flash of intense murderous intent in her eyes!
Yin Hehe, you must die!
——
Shengfei Bay.
That evening, Yin Hehe still hadn’t managed to soothe Sheng Xi and regrettably returned to her room.
The next morning, she awoke very early and without even changing out of her pajamas, stepped out of the bedroom, intending to check on the child again.
“Mr. Shen? This early?”
Unexpectedly, after she arrived, she hadn’t even reached the child’s room when she saw a man who had also just come out.
“Miss Han, I have always had such an early routine. As for you, getting up so early, are you excited for your first day at my company today, so much that you couldn’t sleep?”
The man, dressed neatly and looking down from above, didn’t spit out any pleasantries once he opened his mouth.
Yin Hehe: “…”
After a long while, she managed to hold back and explained, “I got up to check on Xi Bao. He had an argument with his younger brother Cen Bao yesterday and hasn’t come out since.”
“Oh.” Upon hearing it wasn’t what he had thought, the man’s expression turned somewhat sullen.
“It’s normal for children to bicker and fuss. You don’t need to worry about it. Aunt Ke will be over soon. He has to go to kindergarten and will naturally get up.”
“Alright then.”
Hearing this, Yin Hehe also felt a sigh of relief.
She planned to buy some tasty treats to coax the child when he returned in the afternoon.
Yin Hehe turned to go back.
“What time are you planning to go to the office? It’s your first day at work today, and you got the job under my recommendation. Don’t embarrass me on your very first day!”
The man, seeing her walk away as if having ignored him, couldn’t hold back his mood from darkening.
Hearing this, Yin Hehe waved her hand, “Don’t worry, President Sheng, being timely is the most basic requirement for a lawyer.”
“…”
Until the man went downstairs, Xu Guannan, who was waiting for him below, saw his face was still dark.
It’s over, did the two of them have an unpleasant encounter last night?
“President, about that… your wife is also going to the office with you today. Maybe you could wait for her?”
“Why should I wait for her? Do I look like I have nothing better to do?”
As soon as these words were spoken, they were met with a frigid counter-question from the man.
One could tell his mood had soured to an extreme!
“Let me tell you, she’s just an ordinary employee in the company. What is going on in your head? The nerve to suggest that I should wait for her? Let me make this clear to you, she doesn’t deserve to use any mode of transportation here!”
It was as if he’d been stepped on a sore spot again. After a barrage of harsh words, he turned and left in a huff.
Guannan stood there dumbfounded, taking a long time to regain his senses.
What does it have to do with him?!
It was this very man who had sent a message not long before, asking him to wait a few more minutes!!
Chapter 164: Chapter 164 “Rookie” Reporting Chapter 164: Chapter 164 “Rookie” Reporting Yin Hehe didn’t arrive late this morning.
After leaving Shengfei Bay, due to that scoundrel’s instructions, she indeed couldn’t find transportation to the company.
However, she eventually called her brother over.
“Thank you, haha, big brother.”
Finally arriving at the entrance of Shengshi Group, Yin Hehe grabbed her bag and was about to get out of the car.
But Yin Beixiao suddenly called out to her from inside the car, “Why would you suddenly start working here? Has he bullied you again?”
“No!”
Yin Hehe immediately denied it.
Yin Beixiao frowned, clearly not believing her, “I know all about that auction event. You suppressed He Wanqiu fiercely for my sake. Is Sheng Siyuan really going to foot the bill for that one-billion-yuan glass vase?”
He actually mentioned that.
Suddenly feeling a bit nervous, Yin Hehe clutched her bag and her eyes darted around, “Why wouldn’t he? That’s a good thing.”
“…”
Yin Beixiao didn’t say anything.
However, the look he gave her clearly spelled out several words — disbelief!
Indeed, who would believe that a person like Sheng Siyuan was a big sucker?
Yin Hehe finally deflated.
“Yes, so, I made a deal with him,” she said.
“What deal?” Upon hearing this, Yin Beixiao immediately went on full alert.
Frightened, Yin Hehe hurriedly explained, “I’m just managing the Legal Department for him, just like I did at Landun, handling a case, earning a commission, and then paying him back.”
“That simple?”
“Yes, just that simple, big brother, don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble. Besides, if something really happens, wouldn’t I come to you, just like this morning?”
As Yin Hehe spoke, her eyes turned to her brother, revealing a bright smile.
Such a smile, reserved only for those closest to her.
Yin Beixiao finally cracked a smile as well.
“Alright then, keep the car, it will make it more convenient for you to get to work.” After saying this, he got out of the car first.
Yin Hehe was so surprised that she immediately got out of the car as well.
But by then, her brother was already outside, waving his hand, leaving behind only a tall figure that quickly walked away.
This is what family is.
Yin Hehe happily decided to keep the car.
A few minutes later, she arrived in the lobby of the building.
“Excuse me, how do I get to the Legal Department?”
“The Legal Department?”
A company employee, also in a rush to get to work, heard her question and curiously gave her a glance.
“It’s on the eighth floor. Are you new here? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”
“Yes,” Yin Hehe nodded politely.
All at once, the female employee seemed to realize something, and suddenly her eyes widened as she stared at Yin Hehe.
“Could it be that you’re the employee who was specially recruited by the president?”
“…”
Was she that famous already?
Yin Hehe felt a bit startled, and it took her a while to nod in affirmation as the elevator arrived.
“Oh my gosh!”
In an instant, with the elevator doors opening, some colleagues who had come up from the underground parking lot heard about it.
And they all fixed their gaze on her.
“So it’s her.”
“Yeah, who would have thought she’d look so ordinary. I thought she was some mysterious figure.”
“Weren’t they saying she was a nanny? How sophisticated can a nanny be?”
“…”
Unbelievable!
The employees of Shengshi Group could even gossip in the same elevator, right in front of the person they’re discussing.
Yin Hehe, at a loss for words, could only pretend not to have heard.
Fortunately, the woman employee she had approached at the beginning was quite enthusiastic toward her.
“What’s your name? I’m in the sales department. My name is Hu Xinxin, and we’re right next to your Legal Department.”
“Really? My name is Han Lina.”
Yin Hehe felt a bit less awkward and took a liking to the girl.
Soon, the elevator reached the eighth floor, and the two got out.
“By the way, what are you going to do in the Legal Department? I heard a lot of people talking yesterday, saying you were going there to do odd jobs?”
“… Maybe.”
Yin Hehe could only respond evasively to this question.
Her job hadn’t been clearly laid out.
When she spoke with that jerk yesterday, he had denied her the decision to lead the team but later told her to go and complete the onboarding process.
He hadn’t specified what she was supposed to do.
Forget it, she’d figure it out once she got to the Legal Department.
After parting with Hu Xinxin, Yin Hehe finally arrived at the legendary Legal Department.
“Ding Dong–”
“Whose desk phone is that? Answer it.”
“No can do, Sister Huang, that’s Gao Lu’s phone, and right now, he’s tied up with a case from the real estate side. He’s really annoyed.”
“And this legal subpoena? Whose is it?”
“That’s Zhang Lu’s.”
“…”
Yin Hehe stepped into the office and was greeted by chaos she had never seen before.
Shengshi Group was a multinational corporation, after all.
How could a Legal Department be in such disarray? Doesn’t the jerk upstairs care at all?
Yin Hehe didn’t even want to stay anymore.
“Eh? Who are you? A legal intern? Then what are you standing there for? Get in here and work.”
She was just standing at the door when a very professional-looking woman spotted her, and immediately, she stuffed a stack of documents into Yin Hehe’s hands.
Yin Hehe had to catch them quickly.
“What are these?”
“Copy, organize, file—do I need to teach you these?” The woman even scolded her.
Yin Hehe continued to endure.
She finally found an empty spot and started to get ready to sort things out.
But after flipping through a couple of pages, she realized that what she was doing was utterly pointless.
“Hello, I’d like to ask, why do we need to file these documents?”
“What?”
The colleague across from her, who was working, looked up with a stunned face after hearing her question.
“Why file? The way you ask that question…” The woman looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Yet, Yin Hehe acted as if she hadn’t noticed.
“Yes, if these are all insignificant cases, why keep them? Wouldn’t it be better to destroy them?”
“Destroy?”
As soon as she heard this word, the colleague’s expression became even more astonished.
She stopped her work and began to lecture, “Is this your first day at the company? To say such a thing… If we destroy the files, what do we do if these people come knocking?”
“Why would they come knocking? After a case is closed, if we can’t even ensure the other party won’t appeal, is it really closed?”
Yin Hehe replied calmly.
In that instant, the colleague was at a loss for words.
Full of indignation, she was about to retort, but after hearing this, she opened her mouth only to realize she had no comeback.
Moreover, a few seconds later, she finally realized this was a new face.
“You’re not from our Legal Department, who are you?”
“Han Lina, I’m new here today.” Yin Hehe took off her work badge and handed it over.
Colleague: “…”
In that moment, she actually let out a strange cry at her desk and jumped up.
Chapter 165: Chapter 165: President, your wife is on a rampage Chapter 165: Chapter 165: President, your wife is on a rampage “Here she comes, Sister Huang, that person has arrived!!”
The excited and panicked voice made it seem as if Yin Hehe were some sort of monster, as she ran towards the manager’s office of the Legal Department as if she were flying.
Was that really necessary?
Yin Hehe sighed and continued to look at the things in front of her.
As a result, in less than two minutes, she noticed more and more shadows appearing in front of her, and when she looked up, she was faced with a sea of heads.
“You all…”
She was so frightened that she quickly dropped what she was holding and stood up.
Thankfully, after she stood up, a woman came out wearing glasses on her face and with hair meticulously combed.
“Are you the new employee?”
“…Yes.”
Yin Hehe recognized that this woman was the one who had just given her work to do and quickly nodded.
As soon as she had spoken, the woman began to size her up.
“I thought you would have three heads and six arms. Turns out, you’re quite ordinary,” she said sarcastically.
Yin Hehe smiled, “Sister Huang exaggerates. I am indeed just an ordinary person. Moreover, I believe you’ve heard that I was actually a nanny before. I came here mainly because Mr. Sheng’s family no longer needed someone, and I had visa issues that prevented me from going back, so he arranged for me to come to the company.”
She came up with an excuse on the fly.
In reality, she had a wealth of experience in the workplace; she had carved out her own path at Landun to achieve her current success.
So now, she knew very well that showing weakness would make these people, who were full of hostility towards her, let down their guard.
“So that’s how it is.”
Indeed, after hearing her self-deprecating words, the aggressive Legal Department supervisor’s face softened.
“Well, since you’re a nanny, you can do those tasks I gave you just now, right?”
“Of course, I can.” Yin Hehe immediately adopted a compliant demeanor.
The woman was pleased.
She turned around and began to arrogantly dismiss the onlookers, “Alright, disperse, she’s just a…”
“But Sister Huang, I feel that some of the work you’re having me do is a waste of the company’s labor. I hope you can improve upon that.”
Before she could finish, Yin Hehe casually called out to the woman with an addition from behind.
The room fell into sudden silence once again.
And this Supervisor Huang from the Legal Department immediately turned around with a face ashen with anger.
“What did you say? I’m wasting the company’s labor?”
“Yes,” Yin Hehe nodded.
“Like this case, for instance, I don’t understand why you even want me to organize and file it? It’s just a labor contract dispute between employees. Can’t our company’s Legal Department handle something this trivial cleanly and efficiently?”
Her expression quite cold, she lifted up the case file in her hand.
Huang Qin: “That’s what we call being prepared for contingencies!”
Yin Hehe sneered, “Prepared for contingencies? Sister Huang, if all lawyers were like you, by the end of their careers, the accumulated case files would probably circle the Earth three times.”
She tossed the case file onto the desk with a slap.
The woman’s face turned scarlet.
And the onlookers, who had never experienced such a scene before, were so shocked by someone daring to confront the iron lady of the Legal Department that it seemed as if their thoughts had frozen.
“What’s going on here? Why are you all gathered around?”
Just as the situation became a standoff, someone came in at the office door, and seeing this, immediately asked unhappily.
“Director Xiao, you’ve arrived.”
“Good morning, Director Xiao.”
“…”
It turned out that the head of the Legal Department had arrived.
Yin Hehe hesitated for a moment, about to go forward to greet him, but at that moment, Supervisor Huang had already rushed over.
“Director Xiao, does the president have a problem with our Legal Department? Why suddenly send someone to watch over us?”
What?
Yin Hehe, standing on the side, was completely baffled by the woman’s words.
Was it really necessary?
She had merely exposed the woman’s poor management, was it necessary to frame her, Yin Hehe, with such a lofty accusation?
Yin Hehe’s expression finally soured a bit.
Fortunately, the director surnamed Xiao didn’t fully believe that woman’s words. After listening, his gaze turned toward Yin Hehe.
“You’re talking about her?”
“Right.” Huang Qin immediately nodded.
“You really are overthinking it. Xiaohan is here because of her foreign nationality; it’s inconvenient for her to work elsewhere, which is why President Sheng arranged for her to be at the company.”
Director Xiao explained as he approached Yin Hehe.
“So you’re Xiaohan, right? I’m Xiao Feng, the director of the Legal Department here. Welcome to the team.”
A director no less, even reaching out to greet her proactively.
Yin Hehe finally felt a normal welcoming gesture and immediately extended her hand generously.
“Han Lina. I look forward to working with you.”
“…”
The people around them gasped once more.
Especially that woman surnamed Huang.
“Look forward to working with you.” That’s their director!
Half an hour later, Yin Hehe finally got a proper workstation, thanks to the personal arrangements of this director.
And her job was just to handle the ordinary tasks of a regular employee.
[My lady, how was work today? I heard that right when you arrived, you gave the most difficult old lady in the Legal Department, Huang Qin, a hard time?]
Busy with her work, Yin Hehe received a sympathetic message from the secretary upstairs, Chen Xiaosen.
Yin Hehe: “…”
So, that Huang lawyer’s name is Huang Qin.
[I just felt there was an issue with the work she arranged.]
[Of course. She’s who she is, and you’re who you are; there’s no comparison! Besides, the president didn’t provide you with a clear job assignment this time because he actually doesn’t want you to butt heads with the people in the Legal Department. Imagine, if you were to become a supervisor or something right away, they’d all be green with envy, and that would be troublesome for you.]
The secretary was kind enough to explain things to her.
As Yin Hehe read, she didn’t respond much, just busied herself with her work while replying.
[Then please thank him for me!]
[…]
That response didn’t sound like a thank-you.
It sounded more like a curse and one uttered with bad temper.
Chen Xiaosen looked up, only to see the CEO with an authoritative presence at the opposite desk, gazing over with a cold stare.
“Han… Miss Han is doing fine, and she asked me to pass on her thanks to you.”
“Heh…”
As expected, the man didn’t buy that nonsense either.
“The Legal Department has always been under the control of those old farts on the board; a person coming from Landun, seeing the mess here, wouldn’t she curse at me?”
“…”
Chen Xiaosen dared not join the conversation.
If he feared being cursed, then why didn’t he tell her earlier?
Additionally, the matter of assigning her a position should have been made clear, not because he was unwilling to arrange it, but because he couldn’t interfere. Because if the company casually placed someone in an important position in a department under the board’s name, it could raise suspicions of ulterior motives.
That made things difficult.
Especially since the company had just gone through a major change.
“President, in sending Miss Han to the Legal Department, you also want her to keep tabs on the board, don’t you? After all, we don’t know which of the remaining shareholders are still loyal to the company.”
Chen Xiaosen, having followed this boss for some time, pondered a little and guessed the man’s true intentions.
The man didn’t speak.
However, at that moment, he turned to look out the window.
Just then, a stroke of gold leaped from the edge of the clouds, and in an instant, the sunset filled the sky with its glow, casting a brilliant sheen upon him.
The scenery was truly beautiful.
He hoped he could always stand there and enjoy it…
