The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1077 - 464: Li Man Is Benched

Li Man...

If Song Qiao remembers correctly, two weeks ago, Li Man had already signed with CK Group’s entertainment company.

When Li Man just signed the contract with CK Group, it caused quite a sensation, and even a well-known director said Li Man had limitless potential in the future.

But these past two days, there hasn’t been any news about Li Man at all.

A few days ago, when Song Qiao was browsing Weibo, she saw a hot search topic about "Female Celebrity with L Surname Seducing Boss and Got Shelved," but she didn’t pay attention to it at the time, so she didn’t read what the news was about.

Thinking of this, she suddenly wanted to take out her phone and search Weibo to see if it was really...

Her curiosity was piqued, and it was really uncomfortable not to satisfy it.

At this moment, a displeased voice came from not far away, "Xiao Yan, what are you doing? Where are you slacking off? It’s work time now."

Behind Song Qiao, the sound of high heels on the floor echoed, as if someone was walking over.

The receptionist in front of Song Qiao immediately stood up straight, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment, and even some regret of getting caught. She spoke to the newcomer, "Manager, I... I..."

She wanted to explain but didn’t know how best to do so.

Song Qiao pulled back her thoughts and turned to look at the newcomer.

The manager was from the HR department, as the CK Group’s front desk falls under HR. Apparently, this manager had just returned from outside, saw nobody at the front desk, and instead, saw the receptionist chatting with others. It immediately made the manager very angry, thinking about firing this irresponsible receptionist.

However, when she saw Song Qiao turning around, she suddenly froze, almost tripping over her high heels. Her voice immediately tinged with a bit of trepidation, "Madam... Madam President, what brings you here?"

The last time, when Song Qiao ran out of the rest room in the president’s office and was seen by everyone, she was also there, so she naturally knew who Song Qiao was.

The HR manager understood very well how important this lady president was to the president. A single word from the lady could very well determine the president’s mood for the day, and how the president’s mood was for the day would also decide the level of work pressure they would face.

Hearing the HR manager’s words, the receptionist’s mouth gaped open as she stared at Song Qiao, her expression akin to being struck by lightning.

The woman in front of her... really was the lady president...

Ah ah... What exactly did she just say to the lady president?

Stopping the lady president from going up was one thing, but saying that the president didn’t like women, but preferred men, was another.

In an instant, the receptionist was filled with a desire to find a hole to disappear into.

She suddenly felt that her days at CK Group were over.

Boohoo... She hadn’t offended just anyone, but the lady president herself.

In an instant, the young girl’s face displayed an expression as if she were about to cry but dared not to.

Song Qiao also recognized the HR manager from that time in Lu Jingchen’s office when she was seen running out from the rest room. Her face involuntarily flushed with a bit of embarrassment, and she pulled a smile at the corners of her mouth, "Hello."

Seeing Song Qiao greeting her so politely and seeming easy to talk to, the HR manager gathered her courage to cautiously ask, "Madam, are you here to see the president?"

Song Qiao nodded, glanced at the young girl beside her, and said, "I was just about to go up."

The HR manager, seeing Song Qiao’s good nature and easy-going manner, felt relieved from her earlier worries, "In that case, I won’t disturb you, madam. The president should be waiting for you upstairs."

Song Qiao acknowledged with a hum, then glanced again at the young girl. Worried that the girl might get scolded by the HR manager later, she said before leaving, "This young lady is quite good, she works very diligently. She’ll definitely achieve good results if she stays with the company."

The HR manager was stunned, and by the time she recovered, Song Qiao had already walked towards the elevator in her high heels.

The young girl’s expression had frozen, and for a moment, she didn’t quite know how to react.

After Song Qiao left, the HR manager looked at the young girl, switched to a kind expression, coughed slightly, and said, "Xiao Yan, the lady president has a high opinion of you, so you must work hard in the future. You’ll get a bonus when the monthly salary is paid."

The young girl came to her senses, looked at the HR manager, and didn’t quite know how to express her feelings, but she was still surprised and said, "Thank you, manager."

She hadn’t expected that her behavior would not only avoid getting her fired by the lady president but also earn praise and a bonus.

Now, she felt an urge to cry, not out of sadness, but excitement.

She decided she must work hard in the future.

...

Song Qiao directly took Lu Jingchen’s private elevator, which required fingerprint input to open. Five years ago, Lu Jingchen had already entered her fingerprints, and she didn’t expect it to still work after returning five years later.

She didn’t take other elevators because she was worried about encountering other people in the company and generating unnecessary gossip.

The elevator quickly stopped on the floor where Lu Jingchen was located. When it opened, Song Qiao walked out in her high heels, holding her phone in hand, her head down as she looked at her Weibo feed.

Earlier, entering the elevator, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and gossipy nature and directly searched for the news about the "Female Celebrity with L Surname" being shelved. She really found it.

Then she checked CK Group’s official Weibo and indeed found the announcement about shelving Li Man in a Weibo post from three days ago.

Song Qiao suddenly felt that by not being gossipy usually, she might have missed out on many exciting things.

Five years ago, when Li Man openly told her she liked Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao knew that girl was something else, but she hadn’t expected her to be so bold as to try and seduce Lu Jingchen by stripping herself.

Now, this outcome could only be said to be Li Man’s own doing.

"Madam President." As she reached the secretary’s office, a female secretary who just came out from inside was initially surprised to see Song Qiao, then politely bent down to greet her.
