"Why are you here again?"
After all, she knew her identity as the boss's son, and as a subordinate, shouldn't he be flattering her?
She felt that Lu Jiaying wasn't very good at dealing with people.
Jiang Jingyu said truthfully, "I really don't want to come, but you know my dad's temper."
Lu Jiaying typed furiously on the keyboard, talking to him as she typed.
"Indeed. If it weren't for your dad, your performance wouldn't even pass one round of interviews."
"..."
"Since he insists on you coming, and I have to take you in, I'll give you another chance. But we need to set the rules in advance."
Jiang Jingyu listened, not answering, waiting for her to continue.
After a two-second pause, she stopped and looked at him seriously.
"Did you hear me?"
Wasn't he listening with both ears? Did he have to nod and bow like a primary school student to thank her?
Jiang Jingyu rolled his eyes internally, but said, "I heard you, Ms. Lu."
"Close the office door and take two steps forward."
Jiang Jingyu did as he was told, and Lu Jiaying leaned back in her chair, spinning leisurely.
"The rules are as follows: First, I am your direct supervisor and your only supervisor. You must obey me absolutely."
"Second, you must maintain good work status and appearance. Especially since we are in marketing, we face clients and various clients every day. You must be happy. If you really can't smile, then don't come."
"Third: This job requires irregular overtime or business trips, which you must accept unconditionally."
"Fourth. You were absent without leave yesterday afternoon and were an hour late this morning. Submit a leave request form to me later. The time lost will be deducted from your salary. If you have anything in the future, ask for leave in advance. If you are absent or late again without my permission, this internship will not be converted to a regular position."
"You don't want your parents to question your abilities, do you?"
Although her words were harsh and unforgiving, they were all true.
Jiang Jingyu accepted, "Understood, Ms. Lu."
"Take your computer and temporarily work at the desk next to mine. Re-do yesterday's meeting minutes for me."
Re-doing the meeting minutes wasn't difficult. What was difficult was that he hadn't listened properly to yesterday's meeting, and since it had been so long, he had forgotten all the data.
After speaking, seeing Jiang Jingyu's lack of reaction, Lu Jiaying knew he couldn't do it and raised an eyebrow.
"What? You just agreed and now you can't do it?"
"No, Ms. Lu, it's just that yesterday's data..."
"Am I your assistant or are you my assistant? If you don't have the data, go ask someone for it."
He didn't even know who had spoken yesterday, or where they were, so he couldn't find anyone.
But he definitely couldn't ask any more questions, or she would mock him again.
Although she wasn't much older and they knew each other privately, she spoke so unforgivingly that Jiang Jingyu found it hard to bear.
The girls outside were much better. He plugged in his computer and went out to inquire about yesterday's Vice President of Production.
He went directly to his office but was stopped by his assistant at the door.
"Do you have an appointment? No appointments allowed."
Jiang Jingyu stated his identity as the assistant to the head of the marketing department, here to collect information.
The assistant made a phone call to the Vice President: "I'm sorry, our Vice President said that your Ms. Lu didn't speak to him. If you really need it, have Ms. Lu call him first."
It was Lu Jiaying again. Could he not get anything done without going through her?
Jiang Jingyu didn't want to hear her mockery, so he absolutely wouldn't go to her.
But by himself...
He came up with a good idea.
After a lot of tinkering on the computer, the meeting minutes were ready an hour later.
"Ms. Lu, I'll send it to your email."
"There's a temporary problem with the company's internal network. The technical department is working on an emergency repair. You can send it later."
Lu Jiaying's expression was serious.
"A hacker has infiltrated our company's security system. If the perpetrator's identity cannot be found, we will have to report it to the police."
Jiang Jingyu was startled. He had only accessed a short video clip and then exited, erasing all traces. How had the technical department caught him?
The technical department definitely couldn't find him.
His hacker level was very, very high.
Then they would definitely report it to the police, and this was troublesome!
Jiang Jingyu felt a little guilty.
"Is that so? I have some understanding of programming. Do you need me to help them?"
Lu Jiaying knew that Zhan Beijue and his children were all experts in this field. Sometimes, when technical problems arose that the technicians couldn't solve, Zhan Beijue would personally step in.
Jiang Jingyu's comment, which was like protesting too much, reminded her.
She first gave him a meaningful look, then called the head of the technical department.
"Zhan Zong personally conducted a test just now to check the security of the company's firewall. It seems we need to strengthen it. You all work harder."
Then she threw her phone onto the desk.
"Do you know you almost caused a major disaster?"
Jiang Jingyu understood, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lu."
Lu Jiaying continued, "You're always saying sorry. Why do you say sorry so much?"
"Do you think you're a three-year-old child who can be willful, and everyone has to cooperate unconditionally? I know you're talented and very smart, but there's no need to show off like this, is there? Hacking into your own company."
Jiang Jingyu was at fault, so he couldn't argue with her.
"I didn't mean to hack it. I forgot some data during the meeting yesterday, so I just went to the conference room to capture a segment of the surveillance video."
Lu Jiaying was even more speechless.
"If you forgot, you should have told me. I could have sent you the materials. We are so close, why would you hack the firewall?"
"..."
As a leader, what they say is always right.
At that time, she had clearly told her, and she had rejected it herself. Now she was speaking as if she had never said that.
But since things had come to this, what was the point of winning the argument?
Jiang Jingyu apologized again, "This won't happen again, I promise."
It was said that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger, but he didn't feel that way even when he was with Zhan Beijue. He truly felt it when he was with Lu Jiaying.
Sitting in the same office with her, looking at her gloomy face, he felt extremely stifled.
After finally enduring the entire morning, he had lunch with the customer service ladies outside. They invited him to rest at the workstations outside during lunch.
They could sit and chat, and relax.
But as soon as he returned to the marketing department, Lu Jiaying stopped him.
"Jiang Jingyu, come out with me."
The customer service ladies immediately wailed for him.
"Ah? You just finished eating, and you still have to go out with her during lunch break? She's too inhumane!"
"Exactly. You just started working yesterday, and she asked you to collect data, and today she's using public time for overtime. Is she targeting you because she thinks you're easy to bully?"
