24: Chapter 024: The Reason for Being Late 24: Chapter 024: The Reason for Being Late Chapter Two! “Director Qiu, new employee Ye Chenfeng hasn’t arrived yet!” someone replied. “We’ve been in the meeting for an hour and a half. Does Ye Chenfeng not want to work anymore? Being late for an hour and a half on the very first day is a terrible act! I hope I don’t see this kind of behavior from any of you!” Qiu Muran’s powerful presence spread, making all the fresh young employees present tremble in fear. Just then. “Screech!” A grating noise sounded, and a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the meeting room. If not Ye Chenfeng, then who? The sudden appearance of Ye Chenfeng clearly stunned everyone in the meeting room, including Qiu Muran, who was standing and lecturing everyone. All eyes fell upon Ye Chenfeng, who had abruptly appeared at the door. Particularly Qiu Muran, whose face had already undergone several changes in an instant, from shock to astonishment, and finally to anger. Ye Chenfeng naturally saw Qiu Muran releasing a chill. This girl seemed to be waiting for him? “Ye Chenfeng?” Suddenly, a voice as sharp as an icicle interrupted Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts. “Here!” Ye Chenfeng raised his hand and shouted. Today, Qiu Muran was dressed in a white fitted shirt and a black pencil skirt, her shapely legs wrapped in thin flesh-colored stockings, standing in a pair of high heels, and wearing black-rimmed glasses, a look that was the epitome of a white-collar worker, coupled with a powerful presence that made her image as the ice queen director nearly rival the dazzling Chu Qingxue! Qiu Muran adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, her beautiful eyes flashing a hint of cold light, and her full red lips slightly parted to say, “Do you know what time it is, Ye Chenfeng?” She was clearly suppressing the anger in her heart. “What time is it now, Ye Chenfeng?” A high-decibel voice nearly shattered Ye Chenfeng’s eardrums, while the other employees also watched Qiu Muran with trepidation. Qiu Muran’s face was as frosty as eternal ice, and her eyes seemed to be shooting flames. This guy was really too much of a rogue! In this situation, he was still staring at her body. Remembering everything Ye Chenfeng did yesterday, Qiu Muran wished she could throw him off the thirteenth floor. All Ye Chenfeng did was shake his head weakly and say, “I don’t know!” “Are you doing this on purpose?” Qiu Muran felt like she was going to be driven mad by this guy. She took a deep breath, trying to soften her voice as she spoke. Then Ye Chenfeng put on an aggrieved face, like a wronged little wife, vigorously shaking his head. “I really don’t know the time, I don’t even have a watch, see for yourself!” Ye Chenfeng even showed off his two empty wrists. Everyone: “…”. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In Qiu Muran’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng’s demeanor was a deliberate challenge to her authority! “Alright, so you don’t know, Ye Chenfeng? Let me tell you, it’s nine thirty-five and forty-two seconds! Which means you are over an hour and a half late! Now I can tell you for sure that your entire salary for this month will be withheld! Perhaps our temple here is too small for you, and you can choose to leave!” Qiu Muran’s rapid-fire speech deeply shocked everyone. The female supervisor sure had a bit of a temper, it looked like she’d need a lot of training in the future. “Oh my, Supervisor Qiu is a bit too harsh, working for a month for nothing?” Ye Chenfeng wore a face of gloom, having finally riled up the tigress. Qiu Muran nodded slightly, her voice cold, “Yes, if you’re dissatisfied, you either leave or go complain about me to the leadership!” “Fine, I accept! It’s just working for a month for free, right? I’ll treat it like I’m Lei Feng!” Ye Chenfeng’s response surprised everyone a bit. In Qiu Muran’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing but a slacker, lazy and unmotivated. The condition of working for a month without pay, he actually agreed to it. However, Qiu Muran also felt a little smug, having tamed such a hard-to-train individual under her own hand was something to be proud of. Hmph, just watch how I discipline you? You dared to treat me lightly, dared to look at me that way. I’ll get back at you for yesterday’s grudge bit by bit! Ye Chenfeng, watching the changes in Qiu Muran’s facial expressions, felt puzzled. Was messing with him really that amusing? Did she need to look that pleased with herself? If Ye Chenfeng knew what the proud female supervisor was thinking, he would certainly want to spit blood. Suddenly, Qiu Muran saw Ye Chenfeng still staring at her, and a trace of displeasure arose in her heart. She pointed to the wall behind her and said, “Ye Chenfeng, go stand over there and listen, consider it a minor punishment for your tardiness!” “But I’ve already…” Before Ye Chenfeng could finish, he was cut off by Qiu Muran, “Do you want to stand there or not?” Her words carried an irresistible authority. “Alright then,” so Ye Chenfeng bowed his head and sullenly went to stand behind Qiu Muran, like a little schoolboy who had done something wrong. Seeing Ye Chenfeng disappear from her sight, Qiu Muran’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. Thinking of competing with me, huh? Hmph, this scoundrel is still green! “……” Watching Ye Chenfeng stand in the corner like a school child, everyone wore a face of bewilderment, secretly thinking this female supervisor was indeed formidable! The phrase “tough woman” flashed through everyone’s minds. “Alright, let’s continue the meeting! Our marketing department…” Qiu Muran continued to pour knowledge into the young professionals. “Ouch!” Suddenly, a sarcastic voice caught everyone’s attention. Ye Chenfeng, who was standing against the wall, was clutching his stomach, bent over, and howling in pain. A trace of displeasure appeared on Qiu Muran’s fair face. Her rosy, plump lips moved, her delicate and graceful body slowly turned, her spirited willow eyebrows twitched slightly, and those clear eyes like autumn water were filled with a chill as they fixed on Ye Chenfeng, “Ye Chenfeng, what’s wrong with you now? Could it be you’re pregnant?” “Haha!” Everyone burst into laughter, breaking the previously tense atmosphere. Pfft! Ye Chenfeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood; Qiu Muran was really a bit too fierce. “Supervisor Qiu, I’d indeed like to see you pregnant…” “You lecher! As punishment, you’ll clean our marketing department today, including the toilets!” Qiu Muran finally lost it under Ye Chenfeng’s provocation, her finger pointing at him as she shouted in a high decibel voice. “Ah!” With a painful roar, Ye Chenfeng, clutching his stomach, bulged his eyes out, crashing to the ground. His face turned deathly white, void of any blood, as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead like broken pearls. The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.
