Tan Jun also smiled and said, "Chen Peng, didn't your master Bai Zihe say we were going to be fired?"
"Why weren't we fired, and we even got promoted?"
"Isn't that infuriating?"
Chen Peng was naturally filled with frustration. These people… petty men who had gotten their way and were extremely arrogant. He hated it. He hated that he wasn't outstanding enough to earn Manager Su's appreciation. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so brazen. "Tsk…"
Yang Kai sneered, "Chen Peng, with all that fat on you, you could go hungry for a few days."
"But your poor sister…"
"Won't be so lucky, might she die in bed?"
As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter, their eyes filled with amusement, disdain, and schadenfreude… Zhang Tiantian, however, feigned kindness and said, "Why are you speaking like this?"
"Chen Peng was our colleague, after all. His sister is ill, how can we be gloating?"
"We should at least show some concern."
"For example…"
"Send her a wreath, or perhaps, a discount card for the crematorium?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and immediately chimed in, "Then I choose to send a burial plot!"
"My second uncle's grandnephew is a carpenter, I'll have him make a coffin!"
"Chen Peng, does your sister prefer a flip phone or a slider?"
"Oh right, she's a girl, it must be pink!"
This was undoubtedly an insult. An insult to his character, an extreme insult! Unable to bear the humiliation, Chen Peng could only grit his teeth and leave.
He feared that if he stayed any longer, he might be unable to resist lashing out at these people with their ugly faces! Just as he walked out, he ran into Bai Zihe.
Bai Zihe, seeing his ashen face, asked, "Pengzi, why do you look so bad?"
Chen Peng glanced at those people and said through gritted teeth, "What else could it be, it's just that group of people."
He then recounted what Zhang Tiantian, Yang Kai, and the others had said. "It's alright!"
Bai Zihe narrowed his eyes, patted his shoulder, and said, "Follow me, I'll help you get justice."
Star Picking Pavilion. The conference room on the sixty-sixth floor.
This was a conference room as large as a football field, capable of accommodating over a thousand people for a meeting.
At this moment, the room was already abuzz with noise.
Some were whispering, others were talking loudly. Zhang Tiantian, Yang Kai, Tan Jun, and their group were all arranged in relatively front-row seats. This was carefully orchestrated by Su Weiwei.
Back then, they had seen the writing on the wall and immediately fled from the Bai family, pledging their loyalty to the three major families.
Now, they were unaware that the Bai Corporation was established by Bai Zihe himself. Bai Zihe had specifically instructed them to bring these people along.
Su Weiwei naturally understood his intentions. "You guys…"
"Why would Director Su call us here?"
"Do you even need to ask!"
"Of course, it's because she sees our capabilities and our resumes are good, and she's planning to promote us!"
"I think so too!"
"…"
Before the meeting began, the group was whispering amongst themselves. Without exception, they all believed this was the beginning of their ascent to the peak of their lives. "Oh dear…"
Zhang Tiantian suddenly shrieked, then quickly covered her mouth, realizing the inappropriateness of the setting, and said to a girl next to her, "Lulu, do you think my makeup is smudged?"
"When the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce arrives later, if he sees me like this…"
"Won't it all be ruined?"
Hearing this, everyone shuddered as if struck by enlightenment. That's right! Today was a momentous occasion. The mysterious Chairman behind the Bai Corporation would certainly attend this meeting. If they left a bad first impression then… it would be disastrous! "Tiantian, just check it in the mirror yourself."
Lulu responded perfunctorily, then took out her own mirror, "I should fix mine up too."
At that, everyone began to tidy up their appearance. The men would occasionally touch their ties or adjust their suits; the women were even more direct and rough, taking out compact mirrors and a plethora of cosmetics from their bags to apply to their faces. While applying, they would constantly check the mirror, afraid that any detail might be amiss.
It had to be said. They were really going all out for this meeting.
They fussed over their appearances for more than ten minutes. Even others in the conference room had started to fan their noses in annoyance. Yet, they remained engrossed.
Zhang Tiantian looked at herself in the mirror, increasingly satisfied. Then, she turned and asked, "Brother Jun, what kind of woman do you think a successful man like the Chairman usually likes?"
Tan Jun's interest was piqued. Zhang Tiantian had big ambitions, actually thinking of seducing the Chairman!
However, he had a good relationship with Zhang Tiantian. If she could really hook him, and just put in a good word for him, wouldn't it be great to be a manager or director in the Bai Corporation!
So, after serious consideration, he said, "Men, especially successful men like the Chairman, must have seen countless women!"
"What he likes…"
"Won't be a business-minded woman."
"He'll probably lean more towards a pure, innocent, and sweet type."
"Isn't that how it's always shown on TV? The domineering CEO falls for the naive girl, is infatuated with her, goes crazy for her, and even buys her a whole fish farm!"
"A naive girl?"
Zhang Tiantian suddenly understood and smiled confidently, "This I can do, it's my specialty!"
The group behind her started cheering her on, "Tiantian, if you get the Chairman, the Bai Corporation will be yours to command!"
"That's small-minded! Your vision is too limited!"
"If you get the Chairman, let alone the Bai Corporation, the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou will have to bow to your every whim!"
"Then we wish Tiantian immediate success!"
"Go for it!" kuAiδugg
This group of people, with Tan Jun leading the men and Zhang Tiantian as the core of the team for the women. If she could win over the Chairman, everyone would benefit from a higher status.
Just as they were excitedly hatching their plans. *Clack!* The sound of high heels echoed rhythmically. Here she comes!
