Madame Dai is truly a woman of charm!
No wonder Zhao Lianjin wants her so badly.
If I were Zhao Lianjin, I would also stop at nothing, spare no expense, to possess her.
The men in the conference room (except for a few of Dai's trusted confidants like Old Su) were all dazzled by Dai Paipai's stunning attire.
Zhao Tong, however, cursed inwardly, "A slut deliberately trying to seduce."
Especially when she saw her Uncle Zhao Lianjin's undisguised greed flare up in his eyes the moment he saw Dai Paipai, her anger intensified.
"She's really wearing a miniskirt and no stockings for Li Qianfan."
Zhao Lianjin suddenly recalled what Dai Paipai had said to Li Qianfan in the parking lot that morning.
Furious!
His heart ached—
He quickly picked up his water cup and took a large gulp.
He had to maintain his composure and proceed step-by-step according to the new plan.
Zhao Lianjin took note of Dai Paipai's willingness to go to such lengths to capture Li Qianfan.
He would sooner or later inflict the most excruciating punishment on her.
Making her unforgettable: "You, you can only belong to me, Zhao Lianjin!"
Boss Paipai sat at the head of the table.
Li Qianfan, her secretary, and Zhao Tong, Zhao Lianjin's assistant, sat at a table by the door.
Zhao Tong instinctively shifted away.
The image of Li Qianfan smashing Zhao Shui's palm with a mug the previous evening had left a significant psychological scar on Zhao Tong.
She dared to glare at Dai Paipai with cold eyes, but she did not dare to look at Li Qianfan.
"Since Ms. Dai is here, let's begin the meeting."
After Dai Paipai took her seat, Zhao Lianjin announced the start of the meeting.
The theme of this meeting was identical to the one Bao Shan had held with Old Su and others.
The difference was that this meeting would issue a written notice of rewards and punishments to the entire company.
"I will give the sales department, excluding Director Bao Shan and the other 15 people, one month."
Zhao Lianjin said sternly, "After one month, the top two will be appointed as deputy directors. The last two will be asked to resign voluntarily! Our Paipai Fashion does not tolerate idlers. I hope everyone in the sales department will wake up and take this matter seriously."
"Shortly, the reward and punishment system will be distributed to the entire company in the form of a notice."
Zhao Lianjin declared forcefully, then stood up, "Meeting adjourned."
Dai Paipai, the boss, not only had no say in when the meeting would start, but after arriving, Zhao Lianjin announced the adjournment before she could even say a word.
A mascot.
Everyone looked at Dai Paipai and thought of this word.
Yes.
The primary purpose of Zhao Lianjin's meeting today, besides officially launching the plan to oust Old Su and his group,
was to make everyone clearly understand once again that Dai Paipai, the boss, was merely a mascot!
"Paipai, tremble! Rage!"
Zhao Lianjin roared inwardly after uttering the words "Meeting adjourned."
In his (and Bao Shan's and other executives') opinion, Dai Paipai, completely sidelined and then paraded as a mascot, would surely be so angry she would tremble and fly into a rage.
Dai Paipai, however, remained calm.
In fact, her delicate feet in high heels were gently swinging back and forth under the table.
Hmm?
Paipai's (Ms. Dai's) reaction was highly unusual.
Had she been angered to the point of stupidity?
As Zhao Lianjin and the others thought this, Old Su suddenly raised his hand, "Ms. Dai, I have something to say."
You dare ignore me and speak directly to Paipai!?
Zhao Lianjin whipped his head around, his fierce gaze fixed on Old Su.
But in an instant, he felt a dull ache in his left cheek.
Ning Xiaolan's grip was truly formidable.
Zhao Lianjin quickly suppressed the ferocity in his eyes, plastered on a smile, and was about to say something to Old Su when Dai Paipai said, "Director Su, please speak your mind."
Old Su stood up—
"Since the company has issued new reward and punishment regulations for the sales department, Director Bao cannot remain uninvolved."
"As the director, he should lead by example and strive to secure more orders for the company."
"If he doesn't secure a single order."
Old Su glanced at Bao Shan and smiled, "How can he command respect and lead the sales department?"
Bao Shan's expression changed—
Before he could say anything, Dai Paipai said, "Director Su is right."
Bao Shan sneered, "No matter how right he is, what does it matter?"
Dai Paipai looked at him coldly, "I said Director Su is right."
"Tch."
Bao Shan scoffed, "Even if you say so, what difference does it make?"
Dai Paipai slowly stood up, walked down, and stood before Bao Shan.
She met his gaze, "You don't even listen to me, your boss, do you?"
Bao Shan remained silent.
But he rolled his eyes upward, proving Dai Paipai's words were true through his actions.
Dai Paipai continued, "Then you can resign and leave Paipai Fashion."
Heh.
Bao Shan gave a silent, cold laugh, remaining seated, not even glancing at Dai Paipai.
"Secretary Li."
Dai Paipai turned and looked at Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan immediately stood up, "Boss Paipai."
"From now on, you will also serve as the company's Security Director."
Dai Paipai enunciated clearly, "Tomorrow, if any unauthorized personnel enter the company who are not affiliated with us, I will hold you responsible."
The company's Security Director was also one of Zhao Lianjin's confidants.
He was stunned by this remark.
He thought, "If Li Qianfan becomes the director, what am I?"
Li Qianfan frowned.
He quickly walked to Dai Paipai's side, looked at Bao Shan, and asked, "Boss Paipai, he doesn't even listen to you, the boss. What can I do as a mere security guard?"
"You just—"
Dai Paipai suddenly raised her hand and delivered a heavy slap to Bao Shan's face.
The force was so great that her mouth twitched from the pain in her hand.
But she thought, "Satisfying!"
Bao Shan was stunned by the slap.
No one had expected the dignified and intellectually elegant Dai Paipai to resort to violence against Bao Shan.
Zhao Lianjin and the others were also dumbfounded.
The room fell into a dead silence.
However, Bao Shan was the first to regain his senses, "You damn it, you dare hit me?"
With a roar, Bao Shan sprang up and raised his hand to return the slap to Dai Paipai.
Slap!
Li Qianfan raised his hand, grabbed Bao Shan's wrist, and smirked, "Idiot, are you sure you want to make a move?"
Was Bao Shan sure?
Yes.
Did he want to make a move?
No—
His wrist hurt terribly.
He had no strength at all.
"You take from Boss Paipai's bowl, you take her money, yet you deliberately ignore her."
"If Boss Paipai fed a dog a bone, it would wag its tail."
"What can she do by slapping a stupid idiot like you who disrespects the boss?"
Li Qianfan sneered and released Bao Shan's wrist, "Get out! If you dare to come to the company again, I'll kill you."
Dai Paipai immediately followed up, "Qianfan, just do as I say. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility!"
After speaking.
She turned to Zhao Lianjin and said in a chilling tone, "Zhao Lianjin, don't push me to a point of no return!"
No return?
That was not what Zhao Lianjin wanted.
His new plan was to boil Paipai slowly.
He intended to use Dai Paipai's desperate efforts to protect Wang Mingshuai's legacy, and with admirable strategy, gradually lure Dai Paipai into his bedroom, to cater to him.
To call him Daddy!
If he were to push Dai Paipai to a corner now.
Heh.
What couldn't a woman who, when desperate, would even call Li Qianfan Daddy, do?
The key was that Li Qianfan, having just tasted sweetness from Dai Paipai, would likely go through fire and water for her.
He had to avoid a direct confrontation.
"Bao Shan, what attitude are you using to speak to Ms. Dai?"
Zhao Lianjin made a swift decision and sternly reprimanded Bao Shan.
Bao Shan—
"Ms. Dai."
Zhao Lianjin quickly changed the subject and smiled, "Actually, I quite agree with the suggestion made by Deputy Director Su of the sales department."
