“What do you mean by that?” the secretary suddenly shouted. “You want to fire me? Don’t forget that you said you would give me a chance just now. Are you going to take back what you said?”

“I gave you a chance to take out the letters, but I never said that you could continue working,” Jiang Ling’er said in a daze.

The secretary said contemptuously, “So what if you’re the new CEO? I’m General Manager Zhong’s biological cousin!”

“Is that true?” Jiang Ling’er asked, her face darkening.

The company had already stated that those with connections weren’t allowed to enter. This Zhong Wuxi was really capable. How dare he hire his cousin as a secretary?

The female secretary thought that Jiang Ling’er was afraid and immediately said, “Of course it’s true. My cousin is the general manager. Who do you think you are?”

“So, is General Manager Zhong in his office right now?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile.

“Of course,” the secretary replied proudly.

“Call him out,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile.

“You want to meet my cousin?” The secretary sneered. “Do you have an appointment? If not, leave immediately.”

Jiang Ling’er ignored the female secretary and looked at the other employee wearing glasses instead. She said, “Please go in and tell General Manager Zhong that Jiang Ling’er is waiting outside.”

“Alright, please wait a moment,” the employee replied immediately

After saying that, she walked to the general manager’s office.

The female secretary wanted to stop her, but when she saw Jiang Ling’er’s cold gaze, she did not dare to say anything.

Soon, Zhong Wuxi walked out with the female employee.

“General Manager Zhong,” Jiang Ling’er asked before Zhong Wuxi could speak up, “Doesn’t the company prohibit nepotism?”

“That’s right, Ma’am.” Zhong Wuxi nodded.

“Your secretary here claims to be your cousin?” Jiang Ling’er asked.

“Cousin?” Zhong Wuxi smiled. “Ma’am, are you making a joke right now?”

“I’m really your cousin, Mr. Zhong!” said the female secretary agitatedly.

Zhong Wuxi ignored the secretary and explained, “Ma’am, my parents grew up in an orphanage and passed away one after another. The headmaster took us in because he thought that my elder brother and I were too young to care for them. Later on, the two of us got help from the old master to achieve what we have today. If we had a cousin, why would we go to an orphanage?”

“That’s true.” Jiang Ling’er nodded.

“But I’m really your cousin,” the secretary said, feeling wronged. “My mother said that my family was poor in the past, so my grandfather insisted on having a boy. Their second child was a girl, so they gave the child away. That girl was Mr. Zhong’s mother.”

She thought for a moment and continued, “Later, when life got better, I wanted to find your mother. However, I heard that she died during childbirth. Due to this, I cried until my eyes went blind.”

Zhong Wuxi was speechless. Whose relatives was she talking about? His whole family died after his birth.

The female secretary heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhong Wuxi did not say anything. She was right- he was her cousin.

“Mr. Zhong, aren’t I right?” the secretary said. “If I weren’t your cousin, how would I know about your mother?”

“So General Manager Zhong doesn’t know that you’re his cousin, right?” Jiang Ling’er chuckled.

The secretary nodded and said arrogantly, “That’s right. If I didn’t tell you today, you wouldn’t know. But the truth is, I’m indeed your cousin.”

“My mother did pass away a long time ago,” Zhong Wuxi said sarcastically. “But when I was six years old, I had dinner with her. You said that she died from childbirth? Are you sure you didn’t recognize the wrong person?”

The female secretary was speechless. Could it be that there was really a mistake?

Jiang Ling’er looked at her and said sarcastically, “The company doesn’t need an incapable employee like you. Go to the finance department to get your salary for this month and leave immediately.”

“The company can’t fire me for no reason,” the secretary said in agitation, “We have a contract. If you want me to leave, please compensate me according to the contract.”

Jiang Ling’er looked at the time. She said disdainfully, “It’s almost ten o’clock now. Why haven’t you come to your senses yet?”

This woman actually dared to bargain? Did she think she was receiving a smiley face right now? Since she was so insensitive, Jiang Ling’er had plenty of ways to make this female secretary regret her actions.

At this moment, the female secretary realized that she had offended someone she shouldn’t have.

“I just threw away some invitations, didn’t I?” she choked.. “Is there a need to fire me so seriously?”
