MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 1 EPISODE 85

Ji Nuan sipped the coffee Xiao Ba sent over in a composed manner. She did not immediately reply.

Several other supervisors stood up. Most of them were important managers or directors. “I’m sorry, but we would like to resign as well.”

Ji Nuan placed her coffee down. Her lips curved into an ambiguous smile. “Anyone else?”

The meeting room fell into further silence.

It was as though everyone had expected Ji Nuan to be flustered at this moment and assumed she would throw her face away to beg them to stay because there were insufficient suitable people to replace them.

However, they never expected that Ji Nuan would coldly reply with those two words.

The HR manager who had been the first person to speak up faltered. “Miss Ji, what do you mean by this? Before we resigned, we all gave this a lot of consideration. We didn’t discuss to do this together. Do your words mean to say that those who were instigated by us should all leave as well?”

Ji Nuan mildly furrowed her brows. “Did I say anything? You took the initiative to resign. Firstly, I didn’t reject you. Secondly, I also didn’t show you any attitude. Why are you so agitated?”

The HR manager saw her indifference and felt that he was looked down on by a twenty-year-old little girl.

He initially thought to put himself in an advantageous position, but he never thought that she, who was once Hai Cheng’s famous Ji family’s young lady, would not succumb to such a thing even though she was only starting out in a business environment.

The expression of several of the managers who had announced their resignation all changed. The conference room was deathly still.

“Those who brought up their resignation, head down to the finance department after the meeting to collect your pay,” Ji Nuan unhurriedly said. “Those who chose to stay behind, if you have any thoughts about the development of the studio, I’ll give you three days to send it to my email inbox. After the studio is officially set up, the managerial employees who choose to stay behind will have their pay doubled.”

Ji Nuan drank another sip of her coffee, raising her eyes to take in everyone’s expression indifferently. “Where were we? Continue with the meeting.”

By the time the meeting ended, it was already past 8:00 p.m. Xiao Ba followed right behind her.

“Boss Nuan, did you realize that those people almost couldn’t hold onto their expressions.”

Ji Nuan curved her lips. “Ever since these two companies landed in my hands, those who were used to following Han Tianyuan have been harbouring their own intentions. If they want to leave, so be it. It is there a need for me to stop them?”

Speaking until here, Ji Nuan turned back to eye Xiao Ba. “But, why do you keep calling me Boss Nuan?”

Xiao Ba raised a hand to push up her black frame glasses in embarrassment. “A few days ago, everyone called you CEO Ji. But several of the managers said that you were too young, and they didn’t want to call you CEO Ji. Earlier on in the conference room, didn’t they call you Miss Ji? I couldn’t take their menacing eyes, but I didn’t want to lose my job here, so I called you Boss…”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Han Tianyuan that garbage, what kind of people did he bring into the company?

Several of the managerial members did not seem to have many abilities. That many of them had left today actually pleased her.

A large number of employees who stayed loved to laze about and did not have much professional knowledge. Even this energetic and hardworking looking intern was a business idiot. She was honest and could only be described as cute.

Ji Nuan glanced at the transparent glass window office not far away. Several employees were secretly redoing their makeup in front of their computers. Their eyes turned and saw her. They were instantly frightened and quickly shoved their makeup bags back into the drawers.

Ji Nuan was just about to walk over when her phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone, glancing toward that office.

From the phone came Mo Jingshen’s slight deep voice, pleasing as a clear spring. “Didn’t go home?”

“En, I’m still at the studio. Earlier on, I settled some changes in management. I’ll be back soon.” Ji Nuan’s stern face instantly softened.

“Studio?”

“I combined the two offices I bought from Han Tianyuan and renamed it to Mo Nuan Studio. How is it? The name is good, isn’t it?”

Mo Jingshen chuckled softly. “Not bad.”

Ji Nuan was about to fish for compliments for using this name. The great CEO Mo would certainly come personally to give her face. She had yet to speak when she heard Mo Jingshen ask, “Where is the studio?”

“At Jin Lin Building.”

“You drove?”

“I drove here. But since there aren’t any places to park my car, I parked slightly far away.” While speaking, Ji Nuan glanced outside the window. It was actually pouring right now.

It was already the beginning of autumn. That it was raining, and so heavily as well, meant that the temperature outside would surely be very low.

“Wait for me, I’ll come to pick you up.” The man hung up after finishing his words.

Ji Nuan did not have an umbrella in her bag. The places nearby to park her car were too few, and her car was parked rather far away. If she tried to leave like this, she would definitely be drenched.

Since her husband planned to pick her up, she had no reason to stand on ceremony.

However, this place was slightly far away from Mo Corporation, and it was raining. The traffic was most likely poor, and there would surely be a severe traffic jam.

Ji Nuan decided not to rush and turned to enter that office.

The several employees who saw Ji Nuan entering glanced quickly at their laptops while pretending to be working overtime seriously.

“Today, every department working overtime is busy compiling previous company data and taking over previous projects. Do you guys have nothing to do?” Ji Nuan asked.

One of the employees who was exceptionally beautiful glanced around. After seeing that no one dared to answer, she coughed and opened her mouth. “I’m a clerical worker. Those things are unrelated to us.”

“Clerical worker? What about them?”

“We’re also clerical workers,” several of the younger employees all said, their gazes occasionally moving toward Ji Nuan. They were inspecting if the famous Hai Cheng’s number one warmth [1.] was really as beautiful as the legends suggested.

“There are only two small companies. Why is there a need for so many clerical workers?”

A clerical worker was not the same as a secretary. Calling them clerical workers was putting it kindly. Frankly, they were but little girls who were in charge of typing documents and photocopying papers.

Xiao Ba lowered her head and did not dare to speak. Ji Nuan glanced at her and only then did she quietly say, “It’s because… in the past CEO Han was here… and hired them in to be clerical workers…”

“Why did he hire so many?”

Xiao Ba lowered her voice even more. “Because… they are all pretty… when they came for interviews, there were no suitable positions, so CEO Han arranged for them to be in the clerical office… just nice, it is across his office…”

Ji Nuan’s veins jumped in an instant.

Truly a failure!

“Bring their details out, I’ll take a look.”

Xiao Ba made an “oh” sound and rushed to go look for it.

In the office, several of the so-called clerical workers all sharpened their ears and heard her.

One of them felt that she most likely would not be able to stay here for long. She stood up unhappily and began tossing things into her bag, planning to leave immediately.

“Did I say you can get off work?” Ji Nuan glanced at her.
