Chapter 112 CEO Lost His Temper
At half past seven, Lola Li showed herself in her office on time. It was the first day when Julie Tan came to work, so Lola had to spend half an hour showing her around the company ahead of clock-in time.
After she sat down, it didn't take long before someone knocked at the door. She said, "Come in!" She then put her personal belongings into the locker.
It was Julie Tan, in a rose suit with a long white coat. She wore the internship badge with red marcel wave over her shoulders. Having applied rose eye shadows and rose lipstick, she looked charming and enchanting!
"Miss Li, it's my honor to work with you!" Julie Tan stood rooted to the ground, staring at the woman in front of her. Lola Li wore a white blouse, long white loose pants and white high-heeled leather shoes. Her short black coat was draped over the chair.
"Me, too. I'll help with with the following work." Come and ask me for whatever you're confused of." With her cellphone in her hand, Lola Li walked out of the office ahead, showed Julie Tan around the company and introduced her the department distribution in detail.
When they came to the first floor, they ran into Harry who just walked in from outside.
There was a clear bite on his lips. Lola Li looked upset when she recalled what had happened last night. But she still greeted him, "Morning, Mr. Si!"
Julie Tan had her eyes brightened immediately she saw Harry. She thought it was a good choice to work at SL Group where she could see handsome Harry every day!
But, were Mr. Si's lips bitten by some woman? Unconsciously, she took a look at Lola Li who appeared as if nothing had happened and greeted, "Morning, Mr. Si!' She greeted as Lola Li did.
Harry just gave Julie a look and nodded before he walked to the elevator, poker-faced. This made Lola Li a little embarrassed. She collected her wits and went on introducing the company planning and development to Julie Tan.
Julie Tan skimmed over the odd look on Lola Li's face and then looked at the man who had just left. She was acutely aware that something must have happened between them!
At half of eight.
It was time for the daily meeting. Lola Li walked to the elevator with some folders in her hands.
The elevator door opened where Harry was standing impressively with Joey on his right and Julie Tan on the left, talking to him.
Seeing this, Lola Li stood still, pretending to be leafing though the folders. She was waiting for the closing of the elevator so that she may take the next one.
"Don't you come in, Miss Li?" Joey asked, wondering why she didn't come in.
Lola Li gave him a look and smiled, "Not now. I'm waiting for someone. You may leave first."
At the last moment before the elevator door slowly closed, she sensed an icy gaze directly at her like a sharp sword.
She saw the elevator gradually going down. Another elevator arrived and she rushed in.
Jeremy, the new vice-general manager, was inside the elevator. Seeing Lola Li, he nodded slightly, "Morning, Miss Li!"
Lola Li replied with a smile, "Hum, morning!"
Jeremy looked at the female boss beside him and said, "Miss Li, I know you've put in a good word for my promotion. My wife wants to invite you to dinner if you have time!"
There were a galaxy of talents in a big company like SL Group. Many liked to play tricks. When he was superior to Lola Li, he thought she had a chance to be promoted because she worked very hard and was excellent in everything.
That was why he helped her. She did quite a good job and was even much superior to him now.
And he hadn't ever expected that she would say a good word for him in front of the CEO.
Lola Li ran her fingers through the messy hair over her ear and replied, "Okay! I'll go when I have time!" She met his wife once, an enthusiastic lady who ran a café.
Jeremy and Lola walked into the meeting room, talking and joking. Her smile was an eyesore to the man in the seat of host.
All senior executives in the meeting room saw the suspicious and ambiguous bite on Harry's lips. But no one dared to gossip in his presence.
"Miss Li, how is the case with Mr. Xiang?" asked Harry in a low voice before Lola Li even sat down.
What? He was asking about the housing development case she had just take over less than three days ago! She replied, "I'm still on that. We may sign the contract tomorrow if it goes smooth."
He gave her a dissatisfied look, "What's wrong with it? Mr. Xiang is our regular client. Why does it take you so long to handle the case?"
Was he questioning her working ability? Staring at his lips, Lola Li smiled, "Mr. Si, Mr. Xiang goes abroad now. But I've contacted his secretary. She'll let me know as soon as he comes back." She regretted not biting him harder.
Mr. Xiang was on a business trip. What could she do? Go on the business trip with him?
"Look what an efficiency you've got. Work this out tomorrow, or someone else may take your place!" Hearing his exasperated voice, everyone in the meeting room got very quiet. They were secretly speculating how Miss Li had annoyed him.
Lola Li really wanted to smash the table. Come on, who cared! She stared at Julie Tan opposite her, but talked to Harry instead, "Then who do you think can take my place?"
He didn't mean the woman opposite her, did he? Wow, that would be interesting.
Hearing this, Harry looked at Lola Li who kept a straight face. Was she challenging him?
"Miss Li, tell us all the data of yesterday." He gave a simple command.
Trying hard not to lose her temper, Lola Li answered with a high voice, "Boss, I suppose this is what Miss Tan should do now, isn't it?" God. Was he trying to avenge himself in the name of business?
Julie Tan looked at Harry and Lola who were obscurely squabbling and wondered if they had a row.
Harry, in the seat of host, banged the table. Everyone else was scared out of their wits with cold sweat on their foreheads.
What was wrong with Miss Li today? Why did she keep annoying the demon CEO? Please let go of them!
It was the first time the CEO lost his temper in public. There was a dead silence in the meeting room. Everyone lowered his head, who didn't even dare to breathe.
Lola glared at the man who kept shooting daggers at her. Then she heard his voice again, "What? Since you're now the deputy CEO, I can't even command you any more, can I?"
There was a sudden moment of embarrassment when Lola Li looked humiliated.
She took a deep breath and stoop up, poker-faced. But the chair, which was almost kicked down, spilled out her anger. She snatched the remote control for the slide in the middle of the room and answered, "How dare I! Your wish is my command!"
She headed for the computer in her high-heeled shoes and played the slide for company data.
"Yesterday, our stock rose by 10%. The employee turnover rate was zero..." Her dulcet voice echoed all over the meeting room.
