Chapter 257 - Can't even hold a candle in front of her.

Jie has arrived at Li Corporation as per the set timing for the meeting with her assistant, manager and three workers around. This time she hadn't arrived earlier, but was perfect on time. She wanted to show off her attitude to let everyone know her time was very much valuable   just like other successful businessmen 

The way has she looked at the people while coming in was all haughty, trying to challenge them with her arrogance. 

She doesn't want them to feel the embarassment she was feeling inside after being humiliated publicly. She wanted them to know whether being Wang Deming's girlfriend or not she still holds the power to held her head high.

But to her astonishment, the employees of the didn't even bothered to spare a glance at her. She was puzzled thinking why everyone was behaving in such a weird way. 

Everything was going out of her brain until she heard some murmurs among the employees at the desk.

"Did you see her? She has always called herself the fiancee of Wang Corporation's CEO until it got revealed yesterday that there was nothing such between them. It was just some false assumtion on the part of us, the public"

"How can that be? There is no smoke without fire. If they are rumours then they are definitely created by the one who would be most benefited by it. And there is no doubt who would have been benefited by this", another one remarked while giving a disdainful look towards Jie.

"Hmph! Look at her, yesterday someone from her studio has come here to cause ruckus saying our President is holding a grudge with her. Only people with no eyes will believe such absurd things"

"And above all, we know our President is so kind and professional.  In no way she would mix her personal and professional life. And what personal life affairs of her could cross path with such arrogant lady".

"Exactly she doesn't even hold a candle in front of our President"

In just one day people working at Li Corporation started favouring Lifen. It's rightly said the emotions of real heart can get easily conveyed to everyone.  It doesn't need any proof to make people believe.  They will definitely feel it, the moment they are conveyed.

Hearing the words in favour of Lifen, Jie gritted her teeth and digged her nails deep into her fist. Looking at her reaction, her assistant could only roll his eyes.

He had seen Lifen before, when they have scheduled a meeting at Fashionista Mall. The air she was holding around her was definitely something that can't be possessed by everyone.

So he kind of agree with the words of the employees. He really can't deny that there was really no qualities in which his boss could dominate her. NOT EVEN IN ARROGANCE. The only good point of his boss, Long Jie is her useless arrogance.

The only difference between their arrogance is the former has unreasonable arrogance while the other knows when and where to be arrogant.

The manager who has accompanied Jie and her assistant quickly came forward to get his good points, "Boss, don't heed to their words. They are just bunch of lowly people who are labouring like animals for this company.  They are being paid to speak good for their President.  Don't get offended by their words. You are the best".

The assistant's lips twitched when he listened to the words which the manager has used to impress their Boss. Like really people's shamelessness knew no bounds!

But at this moment, a icy voice  was heard from behind, "What did you called them?"

The voice was so sharp that it made the manager tremble instantly.  His bones got stiffened.  There was no strength left in his body to turn around and face the source of the voice.

The only thought that was coming in his mind was to go and hide somewhere in the depths of the ground, so that he don't have to face the person who had just gave a low growl.

The air instantly got silenced. Only the sharp clicking sounds of the heels were heard on the entire floor. This entire scene was new for the employees too.  They have seen their boss giving warm and comfortable smile to everyone.  It was their first time hearing her cold tone.

Jie turned to look at the person who has come with such a formidable air. Though she has known all the time who was she, but still it was the first time seeing her so rageful. 

Last time when she faced her, there was only contempt and mockery in her sharp voice. The aura she was holding now was same as before but there was something changed.

Maybe it was just the status of her surname that's making her feel different.

But Jie still held her head high, not wanting to bow her head down, even for a mere greeting. "Lifen you have come. I was about to...", she started with a haughty tone.

Erica who was standing behind her boss, rolled her eyes looking at Jie. 'Really shameless people have no brain', she mocked internally.

"I never realized that we were so close Ms.Long! And even we were ever close then too this is a professional meeting, how can you be informal around. This is the reason your staffs too don't know their professional etiquette", she said with disdain looking at the manager who was standing behind. He has really put all his strength to turn his body to face everyone, but still didn't dare to raise his head.

"Lifen...youu..", Jie was embarrassed again. She gritted her teeth to make her words come out only to get cut in between again.

"It's Ms.Li or President Li for you. But first let me ask your subordinate something. Or if you are fine you can answer it too", she said as she took a step closer.

Pointing at the manager she asked in a domineering way, "What have you called our employees earlier? "

"It's...it's noth...nothing. I-I was jus....", the manager tried hard to word out in his defense but he kept failing terribly.

"You called them lowly people. If they are lowly people labouring their lives, then what will you call yourself.  Are you any good?" She jeered.

"I- I didn't meant  that", the manager tried again. 

"Really? Then what exactly do you meant", her words turning sharper than blades.

Jie bit her lips in aggression,  "President Li, you can't treat my staff like this ". 

Lifen let out a mocking chuckle, "Really?  But I don't think I am doing anything wrong. Actually it's your fault for not drawing a disciplinary line for them. It's okay. I will help you out in that".

"You..."

"Let me complete first. My words  are yet to complete. Ask him to apologise to my employees right at this moment.  In no way I am going to let this slide.  No one can bully our employees. And then fire him straight away. He doesn't have the qualifications to stand his position ", she said without any expression.  Her words coming out very firm.

The manager's mouth went agape. Moments ago he was just trying to impress his boss so that he can get an increase in his pay. He never thought he would be losing his job actually.
