CHAPTER 431
"Ma, I think I have been polite enough, please leave before I call security."
"Is that so? Hmm, where is Deng Meili by the way?"
"She is no longer working here."
"I can see that. I am not blind, you know. It explains why you would talk to me this way."
"I mean where she is?"
"I do not know. Please, you need to leave ma, I have work pending."
A small smile appeared on Li Jing's lips. The more she looked at her, the more she felt like actually calling security to come and uproot her from that seat.
But that would just be an easy way out, wouldn't it?
"You have poor customer service and manners. I see the doom of this company if we have workers like you."
"Excuse me?" Yes, she felt insulted before but not to this extent. She had thought that if she just shooed this annoying lady away then nothing would happen but now she was mega annoyed.
Irrespective of that anger, she had to calm down. Not for any serious reason but because of the words Li Jing had used. Her words still echoed in her mind, preventing her from acting rashly.
'I see the doom of this company if we have workers like you.'
The more she recalled, the more it invigorated her. 'What if she is a very key client to this business? Wouldn't angering her mean a bad thing for me, considering I just got this job?'
After careful thought on the matter, the lady threw caution to the wind and decided to put Li Jing in her place.
'If I act timid, then she would continue to act as though she is higher than I am.'
Raising her head high and eyeing Li Jing, she frowned her face and spoke, "It is because of people like you that this company would meet its doom."
Li Jing's eyes opened wider a bit. It was one thing to be brave and confident. It was another thing not to withdraw when the time was right and act stupidly.
"Hmm, I see. You are using my words at me.Impressive."
Hearing Li Jing's words of praise, began t make her head swell. She felt fly just thinking about the fact that her opponent complimented her.
"But bravery that does not know when to be used would actually turn into foolishness. Unlike you, I have my backing before I go spouting out words from my mouth. It is easier to copy but can you copy the power behind that person and on which that person speaks?"
"What are you saying?"
"Everything."
"Please, I think I have condoled you enough. Kindly leave before I call security," the young lady threatened.
"How nice. What is your name again?" Li Jing peeled her eyes off her face and trailed her gaze to the name tag on the desk. She read the name within her as a lovely smile resurfaced on her face. This was going to be great.
"Anyways, Si Ah Lam, what I am trying to say or say in earnest is that you are fired."

The next thing Li Jing knew, she watched as the younger girl burst into an uproar of laughter. Li Jing did not say or do anything other than to watch with a smile, waiting for when she was going to be done with her madness.
Apparently, nothing lasted forever right? And soon her laughter died down.
"You are joking right?"
"Do I look like I am joking?"
"Hahaha hahaha… wow, you sure are funny," Si Ah Lam teased with hints of laughter still appearing on her face.
"I see, seeing is believing so they said."
"Wait, who do you think you are? Do you think you are the CEO of this company to waltz in here and dictate who and who is fired or not?"
Ignoring the next couple of comments, Li Jing picked up the telephone on her desk quickly and dialled the security number.
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?" Si Ah Lam cried out. She tried snatching the phone from Li Jing but Li Jing was faster and evaded her with ease.
"Yes, hello, this is Li Jing. Kindly please come over to the office of the CEO ASAP. There is a mad dog on the loose and you think we would need some chains to tie it down."
"Roger that ma. Right on our way."
"Thanks."
She ended the call and dropped the telephone back.
"Why you!" Because she was stunned and angry, she did not ponder when she heard Li Jing identify herself as such. At least even if she could not recognize the wife of the richest CEO, she should at least recognize her name.
Too bad for her, then!
"Hmm, we would see, who should be excused from this company today. If I were you, I would have been packing my things right before now so as to avoid unnecessary problems when the security men arrive."
"Let us wait and see. I would not waste my saliva on you again till then."
She ploughed her backside down on the nice office chair and tried her best to ignore Li Jing even though the former was well aware of each of her escapades.
She sighed, tired of being held back by a mere office assistant.
Turning to face the door to the CEO's office, Li Jing did not pay heed to her anymore and walked towards the office.
She paused and then knocked on the door, alerting the person inside and Si Ah Lam.
"Hey, this woman!" Si Ah Lam quickly stood up and rushed over to where Li Jing was. However before she could even get up to her, Li Jing smiled and opened the door, badging in without an invitation.
"Hey!"
Not wanting any disturbance, she turned around and shut the door behind her, slamming it against Si Ah Lam's face. "Ouch!"
"Finally, my ears would know peace."
"Hmm, well I knew she was a loudmouth and an annoying one but giving that she could annoy you, then I am glad I left her."
