Zhang Ziqian chuckled; how could she possibly concern herself with matters at the shop level?

"In that case, Lu Yan will stay at Jiexun Sports. You can take her to work at the store."

Zhao Xiangjun's arrangement for Lu Yan was to stay at the company.

Because of her, free medical care for all employees and free education for children were implemented at Jiexun Sports and Yinuo Group.

Now that these two things are done, the remaining issue is how to deal with the chrysanthemums, which is not suitable for Lu Yan and Store Manager Liu to handle.

"Thank you, thank you," Lu Yan kept expressing her gratitude, tears streaming down her face. However, this time, these were tears of joy.

"President Lu—", Zhang Ziqian called out to Lu Fei after Lu Yan and Store Manager Liu returned to the store.

Luffy was already exhausted from fighting, but since no one was saying anything, he didn't dare stop! That son of a bitch dared to speak rudely to President Zhao; he deserved to die!
Hearing Zhang Ziqian call him, Lu Fei quickly stood up. He was quite afraid of this Secretary Zhang. He knew that she usually gave orders on behalf of President Chen, and not only him, but even the chairmen of several business groups like Xu Jun were afraid of her.

"Fire this person."

Yan Jun barely escaped Luffy's iron fist and hadn't even had time to feel relieved when he heard this sentence, which made him terrified!
How vicious this beautiful woman is! She actually wants to take away such a good job from me!
He hurriedly scrambled to his feet, wanting to go up and tell the chairman not to listen to the slander. But thinking about the chairman's fierce and menacing appearance just now, he knew he wouldn't listen to him.

The only savior now is General Manager Huang; hopefully she will arrive soon.

At this moment, Yan Jun finally understood the panic that Lu Yan had felt earlier.
Hearing Zhang Ziqian's words, Luffy nodded heavily, then turned to Yan Jun and said, "Go to the finance department tomorrow, collect your compensation, and get lost. I beat you up today, so I'll pay double your medical expenses."

He was already thinking about how to deal with this bastard if President Chen didn't forgive him. He'd use all the same tricks he used on Wei Ming, one by one.

Yan Jun's eyes rolled back, as if the sky had fallen, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Just then, a series of rapid high heel clicks echoed across the floor, accompanied by a voice calling out, "President Lu—"

Yan Jun suddenly looked up; his only hope—General Manager Huang had arrived!
Luffy glared at Huang Ju, his anger rising: "President Huang, how do you manage things? How come your subordinates are all like this?"

Huang Ju was taken aback by the shout and looked at Yan Jun, wondering what this guy had done to offend President Lu.

If this had happened six months ago, Luffy's roar would have terrified Huang Ju.
However, since being appointed as the vice president of the Jiangzhou branch, he has spent more time with Luffy and become more familiar with him, so he is not so afraid anymore.

In addition, Luffy usually takes good care of her, and Huang Ju also knows how much Luffy fawns over Ma Jian. Given her relationship with Ma Jian, he wouldn't do anything to her.

Huang Ju felt a little wronged after being yelled at by Luffy. She retorted, "President Lu, Yan Jun's work performance is quite good. I just arrived in Qinzhou, and I still need his cooperation in my work."

Luffy laughed in exasperation. Was this woman an idiot?
But thinking about it, I realized that I promoted her back then really because of my boss—Ma Jian. Otherwise, Huang Ju wouldn't have even come into my sights.

If it weren't for Ma Jian, she wouldn't have been made a regional general manager. And it's only because of her; if it were anyone else, Luffy would definitely have sworn!

“President Huang, there’s no room for discussion on this. He has to get out of here today—” Luffy suppressed the urge to swear. If he weren’t worried about Ma Jian, he would have fired Huang Ju long ago.

Damn it, President Chen is still inside, and Zhang Ziqian is watching over us. Is Huang Ju out of her mind? Lu Fei glared at her, immediately adopting the boss's attitude.

Unfortunately, Huang Ju hadn't taken him seriously for a long time.
"Mr. Lu, if you insist on Yan Jun leaving, then my work will be very difficult to carry out. Qin Province has been negotiating so many new store openings recently, and I'm under a lot of pressure!"

"You—", Luffy was so angry he almost jumped up. This woman is really stubborn, she actually dares to disregard him now, isn't this rebellion?
He was already thinking about whether to call Ma Jian, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with Huang Ju.

At this moment, Zhang Ziqian, who had been listening from the side, walked over: "President Lu—"

Luffy quickly turned around and heard Zhang Ziqian say, "Since she feels pressured at work, then let her not be the regional general manager anymore; let her be in charge of operations. If she still feels too much pressure in operations, she can be in charge of logistics."

Yan Jun, whose face was already swollen like a pig's head, was startled. How could this beautiful woman be so vicious? Letting General Manager Huang be in charge of logistics? Wasn't that like falling face-first from the clouds? He quickly looked at General Manager Huang. After all, this beautiful woman knew the chairman. What if the chairman adopted her suggestion? Wouldn't General Manager Huang be finished?
Just when he thought President Huang would be very nervous, Huang Ju sneered and turned to Zhang Ziqian, saying, "Who are you? What right do you have to speak about our company's affairs? Who gave you the courage, Liang Jingru?"

Luffy was shocked, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "You idiot, are you looking for death? Who gave you the courage to talk to Zhang Ziqian like that?"
Even Ma Jian himself wouldn't dare to speak to Zhang Ziqian like that.

"Huang Ju, shut up. How dare you speak to President Zhang like that." Regardless, Luffy still wanted to protect her; otherwise, he felt he was letting Ma Jian down. He owed his current success to Ma Jian, who introduced him to President Chen; otherwise, he'd probably be bankrupt by now.

"President Zhang?" Huang Ju had never heard of such a person. With Ma Jian as her backer, who was she afraid of? Therefore, she didn't listen to Luffy's words at all.

Zhang Ziqian shook her head. No wonder Ma Jian was neglecting her now. With a woman like that, there would be trouble in the household sooner or later.

On the way there, Chen Xiao had already informed her about the situation at Jiexun Sports' Qinzhou branch. When she reported that the general manager was Huang Ju, Chen Xiao sneered, "Still an old classmate—"

Then, after hearing Chen Xiao's introduction, Zhang Ziqian realized that this person was actually Ma Jian's first love.

Yan Jun had just heard the chairman personally tell Huang Ju that he had to leave the company today, and he was already in despair.

But then he noticed something was off about the chairman's attitude towards General Manager Huang; he seemed quite wary of him. Could General Manager Huang have a background he couldn't even imagine? Yan Jun's hopes were rekindled.

Huang Ju completely disregarded Luffy's words. Right in front of Luffy, she sneered at Zhang Ziqian, "Believe it or not, as the regional general manager, as long as I don't want to leave, no one can force me out."

Luffy's expression changed drastically. How could this woman be so arrogant?

He noticed that Huang Ju, who used to be very timid at the company, had become so arrogant. He realized that Huang Ju had changed a lot in the past few months.

Let alone whether you know who you're talking to, saying something like that to my face shows you don't take me seriously at all.

Huang Ju doesn't take him seriously now, mainly because Luffy fawned over Ma Jian too much when they ate together before. In Huang Ju's eyes, he's just living off Ma Jian; otherwise, he wouldn't have promoted him to regional general manager.

Of course she knew Luffy didn't appreciate her abilities; he was just trying to curry favor with Ma Jian. If it was all to curry favor with Ma Jian, would he really let her off the hook just because of a woman's words? What a joke!

Hearing her words, Zhang Ziqian couldn't help but glance at Lu Fei, then laughed, "I really don't believe a word of it. President Lu, I think she's really suited for the logistics department. Anyway, the company is offering such good benefits now, even if she goes to logistics, she'll be set for life, better than 99% of people in the country." Huang Ju chuckled coldly, then asked, "First, figure out your own limitations. Do you think you can interfere with Jiexun Sports? Do you even know its background?"

This is another reason why Huang Ju no longer takes Luffy seriously; she is one of the few people who know that Jiexun Sports has received investment from Chen Xiao.

Don't let Luffy's CEO status fool you; he's Ma Jian's first love and Chen Xiao's classmate. Does he dare touch him? He'd be fired!

Zhang Ziqian smiled. Talking to this madman was a waste of energy. She said to Luffy, "You handle it. I'll go find President Chen."

Huang Ju looked at Zhang Ziqian's retreating figure with disdain: "Did you blow your own horn?"

Luffy took a deep breath. This guy was really courting death in every way imaginable. It seemed he really had to apologize to Ma Jian this time. Oh well, he'd call and explain to President Chen after they parted ways.

Made the final decision
"Huang Ju, you'll go to logistics. Demotion, but no pay cut, okay?"

Startled, Huang Ju asked incredulously, "President Lu, you can't be serious? You really listen to her?"

Luffy's face darkened: "Do you know who she is? She's President Chen's chief secretary—"

Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chen?
Looking at Luffy's tense expression, Huang Ju suddenly understood: Chen Xiao?
She panicked. Chen Xiao's secretary—no wonder she was so "arrogant," no wonder Luffy was afraid of her.
Huang Ju was a little nervous, but only a little. What was a chief secretary compared to Ma Jian and Chen Xiao? They were best friends, and Huang Ju was even Chen Xiao's classmate. How could he show absolutely no mercy?
"Mr. Lu, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I'll give Ma Jian a call; let's see who has the most connections and give it a shot."

Luffy's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What had he just heard? Huang Ju was going to compare her background to Zhang Ziqian's? Good heavens! As far as he knew, among President Chen's women, there weren't many whose status was higher than Zhang Ziqian's. Who did Huang Ju think she was?!

Okay, she's going to call Ma Jian. That's fine too. She can explain the situation to Ma Jian and if he really pleads with President Chen, then President Chen's decision will be none of her business.

Yan Jun listened from the side, his heart pounding with anxiety.

It seems there is still a chance; it looks like President Huang will have to call in reinforcements this time. Apparently, President Lu is very wary of her background.

So what's there to be afraid of? As long as I hold on tight to Boss Huang's coattails, my future at Jiexun Sports will be limitless.

Huang Ju dialed the number and it rang many times before finally being answered.

"Hey—Chrysanthemum!!"

"Ma Jian, I'm with Boss Lu."

Ma Jian was a little confused. "Why are you calling me when you're talking about work?"

Huang Ju said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Talk about work? President Lu wants to dismiss me and send me to the logistics department."

Luffy's face darkened. Damn it, she even complained about me. Luckily, it was Zhang Ziqian who said it, otherwise it would really look like I was trying to get back at her, and maybe President Ma would really blame me in the future.

Ma Jian on the other end of the phone frowned. He couldn't understand what Luffy was doing.
Why did Huang Ju go to Qinzhou? Wasn't it because Luffy instructed him to transfer her away from Jiangzhou under the guise of promotion? Why is he now trying to dismiss her from her post?
For an ordinary person, becoming a regional general manager might be the pinnacle of their career. But what does that mean to Ma Jian and Luffy?

"What's going on?" Ma Jian knew Luffy well. Just because of his own reputation, let alone a regional general manager, even a district general manager could be at Huang Ju's mercy.

Luffy then said from the side, "How about I talk to Mr. Ma?"

Because only he could explain clearly that Huang Ju arrived later and was unaware of Yan Jun's disrespectful remarks towards Zhao Xiangjun.

Luffy spoke loudly, and Ma Jian heard him even through the microphone. "Huang Ju, give the phone to Luffy."

However, Huang Ju was afraid that Luffy would say something detrimental to her, so she complained to herself, "Boss Luffy insists on dismissing one of my operations managers, but I just arrived in Qinzhou and finally have a capable assistant. If he is dismissed, it will affect my work."

I just offered my guarantee, and then some arrogant woman came up to me and said if I couldn't handle it, I shouldn't do it anymore, and that I should just retire to the logistics department. Ma Jian, you know how arrogant she was! Anyone who didn't know her would think she was some kind of empress ruling from behind the scenes at Jiexun Sports.

Hearing Huang Ju's words, Ma Jian was even more confused. How could a woman speak, and Luffy be so obedient?
At this point, Huang Ju continued, "Oh, that woman hasn't left yet. I just snapped at her, asking if Liang Jingru gave her the courage. Who does she think she is? Does she think she's as influential as you? Ridiculous!"

Ma Jian asked calmly, "Who is that woman?"

"President Lu says he's President Chen's secretary, but a secretary is just someone who does odd jobs. What's so great about him? Does he have more influence in front of President Chen than you do? I'm President Chen's classmate!"

"Hello, hello—"

Half a day later, there was no sound from the other end of the phone, and Huang Ju thought the signal had been lost.

"Give the phone to Luffy."

"Why? Ma Jian, you need to talk to President Chen. If he can't manage his secretary well, won't that tarnish his reputation?"

"Fuck you, give the phone to Luffy!" Ma Jian roared.

Huang Ju was startled. "Ma Jian?" She had never seen Ma Jian so irritable before.

"Get your ass to Luffy right now. Otherwise, you might as well be begging."

Huang Ju's biggest backer spoke up, so she dared not disobey and handed the phone to Luffy.

Luffy took it, "Boss—"

Yan Jun, listening from a few meters away, was secretly delighted. With Huang's background, even Lu had to call him "boss"? (End of Chapter)
