Lu Jiaying had spent the past few days thinking a lot about Xu Lei, Vice President Wang, and Vice President Li.
But to be honest, Vice President Wang and Vice President Li had been with the company for so many years, working their way up from middle management, and they still had their supporters and considerable influence.
Even if their character wasn't perfect, that's just how the workplace was. How could one expect the next person to be promoted to be a hundred percent perfect?
Lu Jiaying had no intention of touching them.
But Xu Lei was different.
She had been recommended by an executive search firm after the previous Human Resources Director resigned, and had only been with the company for two to three years.
This woman was two-faced and rather harsh towards her subordinates, with a poor reputation privately.
Lu Jiaying had naively believed before that she was just playing workplace games, trying to show off for promotions and salary increases.
Now, daring to do something so outrageous to her, it was evident she was also a hidden danger to the company. Lu Jiaying would not tolerate her under any circumstances.
However, Lu Jiaying, considering the bigger picture, did not want to affect the company's interests due to personal conflict. She would not take any action against Xu Lei within the company.
She planned to start from personal matters.
"I know what I'm doing. I definitely won't let this go. You can rest assured."
Jiang Jingyu was not reassured.
"What do you know? What do you plan to do? I'm also one of the victims, don't I deserve to know?"
"..." Alright.
Lu Jiaying had no choice but to tell him her plan.
"Okay, then call me when you're actually going to execute it."
He went back and sat down.
Lu Jiaying suddenly had a question.
"Why don't you ask President Hu to find an excuse to fire her directly?"
"You can ask too, why don't you?"
Lu Jiaying said, "My connections with President Hu aren't as strong as yours."
After the incident, Jiang Jingyu had indeed considered doing that, but quickly dismissed the idea.
"If I did that, you'd look down on me, wouldn't you? Being so old, only knowing how to act spoiled and ask family for help when facing problems, like you have no brain."
Lu Jiaying stopped talking.
Coincidentally, Xu Lei also returned to work that day.
During lunch in the cafeteria, she saw Lu Jiaying and, as if they had a very good relationship, shamelessly carried her tray and sat next to her.
As soon as she said a word, Lu Jiaying found it disgusting and, without a second word, picked up her tray and moved to another table.
The people sitting opposite were stunned: What was going on? Out of nowhere, why was Director Lu being so impolite?
The company was already rumored to have a relationship between her and Hu Jiasheng, and now it seemed to confirm her arrogance due to favoritism.
Seeing everyone looking at her with sympathetic and understanding eyes, Xu Lei subtly put on a hurt expression and shook her head helplessly.
From diagonally behind, Jiang Jingyu was sitting with colleagues from the marketing department. He had originally intended to keep an eye on Lu Jiaying, but now he only saw the disgusting and pretentious Xu Lei.
Irritated, he took a few more bites of his meal, then turned to get a bowl of soup and walked directly towards Xu Lei.
Mimicking Xu Lei's unhurried and elegant eating posture, Jiang Jingyu walked behind her, bent his legs, and poured the entire bowl of soup onto her back.
Xu Lei's sharp scream echoed throughout the entire restaurant.
Jiang Jingyu stood there looking at her with an apologetic expression.
"My apologies, Director Xu. My feet slipped. Are you alright? Not scalded, are you?"
As the weather grew hotter, Xu Lei was wearing a custom-made black Chanel dress that day. With this bowl of soup poured on her, her entire back felt like it was burning.
And it was done by Lu Jiaying's kept man. She really wanted to lose her temper.
But with so many people watching, she could only pretend to be magnanimous.
"It's fine. Be careful when you walk in the future."
