Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 451 unedited

As An Xiulan entered the conference room, she saw the board of directors sitting there along with her father, Amanda Li and the old man in the middle who was no one else but Chairman Li. She was sure that he was the reason why they had organised this meeting, not that she was saying he was overreacting. Anyways, she made a mistake and she was ready to pay for it. 

"You are aware why we have called this meeting, "Amanda began the conversation. "The board is upset with the scandal that you have caused with superstar Yang Zi. I hope you are ready to give us an explanation."

An Xiulan listened to her and nodded her head. Of course, she was ready. 

"Miss An, why did you refuse Miss Yang a meeting with you? She is a superstar. She could have been a potential client for our firm. Instead of bringing her to our firm as a client, you not only drove her away but got involved in a physical fight too?" The board member, Mr Cao said, mocking An Xiulan. He did not care that she was Lu Zhaolin's daughter with his rich and influential wife. He had a grudge against Lu Zhaolin for a long time but never got the chance to settle it. Today, an opportunity was thrown into his lap. He would be stupid to not use it. 

"It was past my working hour, "An Xiulan answered. She had yet to add another sentence when another person began speaking. 

"What do you mean by it was past your working hour?" The other board member said. Miss Rachel had been working with the company for Seven years. It would not be wrong to say that she was the biggest workaholic of them all. In seven years, she had as many promotions as nobody was capable of having. She would be found working in the office anytime one entered. She felt offended that An Xiulan could say this. Her sentence had a fire inside her. If working ten minutes more should get An Xiulan, extra wage then were all the hardworking employees crazy for working their butt of? If An Xiulan was not privileged, then what was she? She never responded to people who used to criticise An Xiulan for having her father's endless support in the office but now she felt that the girl was overusing her father's name. 

"You cannot speak this, Miss An. There are employees who work so hard that they sometimes have to sacrifice their lunch break too. Not that I am saying that this should be considered something to look up to, but the point here is, giving ten minutes to someone who could bring so much profit for the company should have been your utmost priority,"Miss Rachel said. "Correct me, if I am wrong, you did not give an appointment to Miss Yang because of your personal feud?" 

"I would politely decline what you said, Miss Rachel,"An Xiulan answered in a polite tone. "The reason why I did not give an appointment to Miss Yang is that she did not ask for one. She demanded to see me. I am not obliged to heed to her demands. I have the right to refuse to see anyone." 

" Had she booked an appointment with me following the company's rules and regulations, I would have never refused her,"An Xiulan answered. "Not just this, she caused so much trouble to the employees working in the reception area. Causing a commotion in the office lobby should not be entertained by anyone when there are so many employees who are running all day to make a living here. She caused them so much trouble." Taking a pause she went on, "Miss Yang only approached me because of a personal reason. I refused to see her. I did not cause a potential client to leave us." 

"She should still have considered us had you treated her right,"Mr Cao said. 

"Has our firm degraded so much that we need to run after clients?" Lu Zhaolin asked in a harsh tone. "We are the best. People come to us because they trust the brand we have worked for all these decades." 

"Are you underestimating Miss Yang as a potential client?" Mr Cao asked, angrily. "Do you have any idea how many artists would shift to our firm once she joins us? This will bring a lot of profit to us."

"Shall I explain why Miss Yang could not be a potential client or would you like to hear it from CEO Li?"Lu Zhaolin asked. He could not let Amanda be quiet here. She was in just as much fire as he was. 

Amanda gave a side eye to Lu Zhaolin for dragging her. But if she needed his support for the upcoming battle that she had waged against her father, she needed to back him up now. Of course, she had to do it all while not being so obvious. 

"Mr Cao, what you are saying is absolutely right,"Amanda said. Mr Cao adjusted his tie and smirked while adjusting in his seat. It was his first small win against Lu Zhaolin. "However, we could not take Miss Yang as a client. If you remember the recent Mu Wanwan case, the company was in a lot of heat. I know you have no clue about it since you were on holiday. Mu Wanwan is Miss Yang's stepdaughter and her husband has filed a case against Miss Yang and our firm was representing him. Miss An and Mr Ming were leading that case."

Mr Cao fell silent. He glared at his secretary for not informing him about this beforehand. Did he just make a fool out of himself? 

"Taking a client who we were trying to prove guilty will soil the company's reputation only,"Amanda Li said. 

"This still does not explain Miss An's behaviour," Miss Rachel questioned. "Personal feud had been dealt at the personal level. Dragging the company is the worst way to deal with it. Not only did she affect the company's reputation but it made it hard for the hundreds of employees working for it. Miss An had made a grave mistake. She shoul

d be punished."

"Fire, Miss An."
