Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1267 - 1266: Guilty Deeds

"I think what that person just said was spot-on. It’s because someone’s done too many guilty things that they fall ill. So think carefully if you’ve done anything wrong."

As Zhu Ya spoke, she looked at her ex-husband, her eyes devoid of any emotion. After all, those feelings had been exhausted during those quarrelsome days.

"Oh, by the way, I should tell you that Xiao Group’s branch is now hiring for the Finance Department Director position. Do you think with my capabilities, I’d be hired right away? Kicking you out really makes me happy. I want to take back everything that’s mine now."

After Zhu Ya finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Shuai, who seemed about to faint from anger, and hummed a tune as she entered the gates of Xiao Group’s branch. But the security guard immediately stopped her, and Zhu Ya presented her resume.

"Mr. Security, I’m here for the interview today, so..."

Upon hearing this, the security guard quickly nodded and bowed, "Alright, then you better hurry in. It seems the recruitment is about to start."

Ever since Xu Ke replaced the security and reception at headquarters, the branch’s security absolutely wouldn’t dare to block anyone who seemed to have business there, especially for recruitment. Who knows, they might work here in the future.

Zhu Ya was in a great mood. Before her marriage, she actually worked in the same role at Xiao Group as Zhang Shuai. Both were in the same department, facing a promotion opportunity.

Back then, Zhu Ya was slightly more competent, and with only one position available, right when Zhu Ya got pregnant, Zhang Shuai was very considerate.

"Yaya, now that you’re pregnant, it’s not suitable for you to be working. Stay home, I’ll take care of you. Besides, the nine-to-six job sometimes requires overtime, your body really isn’t fit for that. Just take care of the baby in your belly."

And Zhu Ya back then believed him, thinking this man was doing it for her sake, so she happily quit her job.

As for Zhang Shuai, he naturally became the Finance Department Director with ease. To say Finance Department Director, Zhu Ya actually ceded it to Zhang Shuai, otherwise, Zhang Shuai wouldn’t have had that promotion opportunity.

Because back then all the senior executives voted for Zhu Ya. However, Zhu Ya unexpectedly resigned. The president of Xiao Group’s branch even felt sorry about it back then.

Zhu Ya was quite nostalgic as she entered the company, surprised to return after many years. This time, she certainly wouldn’t give up her job for those ridiculous emotions anymore. As long as she works well, that’s her best opportunity.

After registering at the reception, Zhu Ya handed in her resume. Upon hearing Zhu Ya was applying for Finance Department Director, the receptionist’s mouth opened wide in surprise, but still made a call to Chang Jingshu. Almost all talent recruitment is overseen by Chang Jingshu.

During the gap before Chang Jingshu arrived, the receptionist was extremely curious about Zhu Ya, especially since Zhu Ya didn’t seem like a recent graduate, so she kindly reminded her.

"The previous Finance Department Director just got into trouble, so it might not be easy during recruitment. Those finance department folks, each waiting like eager wolves for that position, hoping to replace it. But unexpectedly, the president decided to recruit externally."

"But I heard that the president might directly promote the Deputy Director of Finance to Director, so don’t get your hopes too high. You can also apply for other positions. Those entry-level ones are actually quite good. If you have strong capabilities, you’ll definitely get promoted."

Zhu Ya listened and knew the receptionist was being kind, so she nodded, acknowledging that after all these years, she was indeed inferior to fresh graduates in many professional aspects, feeling anxious inside.

"Okay, thank you, little sister. I know. I’ll definitely work hard. If I absolutely can’t make it, I’ll try for entry-level positions."

Seeing Zhu Ya was so easy to get along with, the receptionist felt rather happy. As they were chatting, Chang Jingshu arrived, and upon exiting the elevator, saw a familiar figure. She couldn’t believe her eyes and rubbed them again. Wasn’t that someone she used to know?

"Yaya..."

Chang Jingshu couldn’t help but call out, and Zhu Ya turned her head, expressing surprise upon seeing Chang Jingshu. She hadn’t expected Chang Jingshu was still at the company. Given her character, Chang Jingshu should disdain this company, so how could she still be here?

At this time, the receptionist saw the two knew each other and immediately felt relieved for not being rude earlier, giving herself a thumbs up. Luckily, she wasn’t like those fools before, otherwise, she might have lost her job.

"Miss Zhu, this is our Vice President, Chang Jingshu. If you encounter any issues during the interview, you can ask her."

Chang Jingshu nodded and asked the receptionist to go about her business, while she held Zhu Ya’s hand and led her into the office.

As other colleagues saw the Vice President being so close to a woman, and heard the woman was there for recruitment, the entire finance department was suddenly on alert, afraid that Chang Jingshu might let this woman sneak in.

Once in the office, and after hearing about her friend’s situation, Chang Jingshu couldn’t stop sighing.

"You don’t know back then, you left, and President Zhang felt so sorry about it. Our executives all elected you, but you quit, letting Zhang Shuai effortlessly achieve the Finance Department Director position. I didn’t expect you had such an experience with their family. How did you endure it? If it were me, I’d have overturned the dining table long ago."

Hearing her friend’s words, Zhu Ya let out a bitter chuckle. It’s all because back then, she was too weak, thinking that as long as she endured and respected her in-laws, she would gain their acceptance. But she didn’t expect such days to worsen without end.

Her years of learning and manners taught her to respect the elderly. But society deeply taught her that respect should be given to those worthy, not those worse than animals who don’t deserve it.

"Now that you can come back, it’s wonderful. No one is more suitable for this job than you."

Hearing Chang Jingshu say this, Zhu Ya felt particularly embarrassed, "I haven’t worked for so many years, I’m afraid I’ll be a bit rusty when I start, and those colleagues will likely be unwilling. If it really doesn’t work, arrange another position for me."

Upon hearing her friend belittle herself so much, Chang Jingshu’s eyes widened, "Even if you’ve forgotten many things now, you’re still better than those people. Why be so humble? What you’ve learned living with their family is just to be humble and bow down, yet got nothing."
