Chapter 5 : Both Harsh and Gentle

"I made this decision because she is not eligible for the job. The office is not a place not for chitchat, and the one satirizing the superior during the office hour should be kicked off."

"Speaking of eligibility, having a sugar daddy doesn't make you any better!"

Being humiliated by Wen Shuyue in front of so many colleagues, Amy choked with resentment and couldn't help dissing her, throwing caution to the wind, "We're well aware of how capable Vice President Chen has been all these years. He's the superior that we should take as our role model. What do you think makes you one? You got your position by seducing the boss. You're the one who will ruin the company!"

As a theory went, strong intruders were not necessarily able to defeat the local.

Amy was confident that her patron was more capable than Wen Shuyue who was hired as the CEO.

During her speech, Wen Shuyue maintained her composure. She took a glance at Amy with a little disdain in her dark eyes. "Mr. Chen," she faced him and said in a bland voice, "can I have confidence in your training skills and your subordinates?"

Even though Chen Lai enjoyed Amy's flatter, he remained calm and eased the situation by pretending to criticize, "We can't control what our men think. But Amy has never been like that before, perhaps the inflammation makes her lose the temper."

What a hypocrite!

Over these years, Wen Shuyue had had dealings with various people, so she was able to tell how disdainful Chen Lai was. If he did treat her as his superior, he should have moved out of the president's office.

Wen Shuyue hesitated for a few seconds before saying in an abruptly severe voice, "Security."

"Wen Shuyue, are you kicking me out?"

Amy couldn't hold her anger because she had not expected Wen Shuyue would have meant it. Vexed by all the grudges, she suddenly snapped and grabbed a coffee cup from the desk to splash the coffee to Wen Shuyue.

But Wen Shuyue immediately backed off and raised her hand rapidly to constrict Amy's wrist fiercely, as if she had seen that coming.

"Ouch..."

With Amy's wrist constricted, the hot coffee splashed on Amy's body and she tried to stamp it off.

At that moment, people were overwhelmed by Wen Shuyue's scary boldness though they didn't see clearly how she did that. They stared at each other in dismay and at a loss for words, under the aura of their new CEO.

That woman was definitely more than an eye candy.

Now people were convinced that Wen Shuyue was capable enough to be their leader.

"I don't care about what rules and whose orders you followed. But now you're under my lead. Hopefully, you're aware of who you work for and who you are!"

Wen Shuyue's aura overwhelmed people even without the help of high heels.

In an instant, no one dared to say anything.

Soon, security guards made it to the office and pulled the crying Amy out. Meanwhile, the unhappy look on Chen Lai's face vanished and turned extremely sycophantic. "Miss Wen," Chen Lai said, "I'm so impressed by your resolution."

"Mr. Chen," said Wen Shuyue, squinting at him with a reproachful look in her eyes, "In this case, why haven't you moved out of my office?"

"Or..." Wen Shuyue changed her tone with her sharp eyes able to pierce the bone. "You don't want to do that?"

Her words gave Chen Lai a tremble in his heart. At this moment, he dared not to look down upon Wen Shuyue. Judging from what she did to Amy, she was more than an eye candy. "Of course not, I just didn't have the time. Now, let me send someone to..." Chen Lai hurriedly explained, "Hey, you guys, move all my stuff to my previous office."

Chen Lai had everything moved out within an hour. Soon, the office was clear for Wen Shuyue. After what happened today, everyone accepted her as the new CEO.

Lady Thatcher in the office.

Wen Baobao remained silent till everyone left the office and couldn't help praising, "Mommy, that was so cool."

"Really?" Instantly, Wen Shuyue smiled happily and pinched Baobao's face, holding him on her legs, "Don't you think I was fierce?"

"Not at all, your aura was quite impressive."

Wen Baobao commented seriously as if this kind of interaction was natural to them. Wen Shuyue never treated Wen Baobao as a childish kid, on the contrary, she always valued his opinions.

"Quick question, mommy and Hilary, which one is cooler?"

Wen Shuyue bantered with Wen Baobao who took Hilary as a role model.

Just as she expected, Wen Baobao was caught in the hesitation of which one to pick.

A while later...

"I'm just a kid, it is way too complicated for me to answer."

The mother and the son were having a good time together.

A few moments later, the secretary showed up and put the document about the He Group on We Shuyue's desk, which took her great efforts to collect.

Miss Wen," the secretary said, looking obviously hesitant, "Here is all the information of the He Group, but..."

The secretary bit back what she was about to say.

"Just spit it out." Wen Shuyue flipped through the document without looking up.

The secretary had seen how resolute and assertive Wen Shuyue was, so she was worried that her words would make Wen mad. After a hard struggling in heart, she continued, "Miss Wen, we've been working on getting the project of He Group for more than half a year, but we can't even get an appointment..."

The secretary was telling the truth.

It had been six months since they made connections with people working in the He Group, but it ended up with no progress.

The secretary sighed and stood there cautiously, worrying that she might piss Wen Shuyue off and get fired.

At this moment...

"Let's visit the He Group tomorrow," Wen Shuyue said blandly.

What?

Finding it hard to believe what she said, the secretary abruptly widened both eyes and looked at her.

Visit the He Group? Would we be kicked out?

"Miss Wen, we..." the secretary summoned up the courage to ask, but was interrupted.

"Don't worry, we won't be kicked out."

Wen Shuyue suddenly burst into laughter with a touch of gentleness in her bright eyes. She had no idea of how incredible her words sounded to the secretary.

The secretary twitched the corner of her lips, bowed her head and walked away.

She still bore an emotional burden upon what would happen tomorrow...

Their new CEO was too young to know about the difficulties.
