After Being Reborn and Bound to a System, I Became a Rich, Beautiful, and Successful Woman

14: Manager Zhou Qing in the early daysZhao Jiaojiao spotted Jiang Li at that moment.

She noticed that everything Jiang Li was wearing was high-end brands, and so was the bag in her hand.

Then she glanced at the person attending to her—it was that impoverished fellow, Yang Xun.

She thought for a moment; it seemed she would be able to snag today’s performance credit and commission again.

Zhao Jiaojiao observed for a long while, but Yang Xun and Jiang Li kept talking without signing any contract.

She began to feel a bit anxious.

On Jiang Li’s side, Yang Xun was actually telling her about Zhao Jiaojiao.

Yang Xun said, ”Chairman, I’ve told you everything about Zhao Jiaojiao’s affairs. Anyway, I plan to resign, so I’m not afraid.”

Jiang Li was curious. Perhaps it was because Yang Xun hadn’t embellished his story to disparage Zhao Jiaojiao, but had instead described the facts objectively. ”Why do you plan to resign?”

Hearing this, Yang Xun blushed with a bit of embarrassment. ”It’s my mother. She found a match for me back home. I’m going back for a blind date and don’t plan on returning. I’ll settle down in my hometown. Most importantly, I’m an only child.”

Jiang Li heard this and said, ”Alright, I accept your resignation. Don’t forget this month’s salary.”

Yang Xun had a very honest-looking face. He gave a silly laugh and said, ”Chairman, don’t worry, I definitely won’t forget. No one thinks they have too much money.”

Jiang Li heard this and agreed; indeed, no one ever thought they had too much money, and she was no exception. ”Mhm. Go upstairs and call the manager out. I want to see what the manager of our Fengmao Building is like, to be able to frame people so casually.”

Yang Xun replied, ”Alright, Chairman, please wait a moment.” After saying that, he went up to the second floor to fetch Manager Song Feng.

As soon as Yang Xun left, Zhao Jiaojiao saw her chance and hurriedly approached Jiang Li.

”Miss, you’re so beautiful. Your skin is wonderful; where do you go for your treatments?”

Zhao Jiaojiao tried to strike up a conversation with Jiang Li.

After Yang Xun left, Jiang Li had opened her phone and was looking at the message Shi Muzhi had sent her.

It said that Lu Yizhe’s contract termination was finalized, and it hadn’t cost a single cent.

Before she could even reply, she was interrupted by someone who kept talking incessantly.

She looked up and saw it was actually Zhao Jiaojiao.

Listening to her voice, this Zhao Jiaojiao seemed to have two personas. She was sharp and mean when scolding people just now, so why was she acting so weak and soft now? Did she want Jiang Li to pity her?

Unfortunately, the scene from earlier was still fresh in Jiang Li’s mind.

”Miss Receptionist, I heard everything quite clearly when you were scolding people just now. Why have you come to talk to me now? Want me to rent an office? Unfortunately, I’m not renting.”

Zhao Jiaojiao was shocked that she was being given so little face. ”You...”

Jiang Li smiled. ”Me what?”

Just as she finished speaking, Manager Song Feng came down with the receptionist, Yang Xun.

Zhao Jiaojiao turned and saw her uncle-in-law. She rushed forward to complain.

”Uncle, this person isn’t here to rent. She’s completely here to cause trouble. Hurry up and have the security guards throw her out...”

She kept rambling, failing to notice the warning look from Song Feng, until he roared directly at her: ”Shut your mouth!”

Zhao Jiaojiao had been speaking with such impassioned fervor!

The sudden roar left Zhao Jiaojiao dazed, but she quickly reacted and grabbed Song Feng as he walked past. ”Uncle, you’re yelling at me? Believe it or not, I’ll tell Auntie!”

One had to know that her aunt doted on her the most and wouldn’t let her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Song Feng and his wife had no children, so Zhao Jiaojiao naturally became their favorite child.

Song Feng really couldn’t be bothered to deal with her right now. His job was about to be lost; who cared about her?

”Chairman, I am truly sorry. Why didn’t you let us know in advance that you were coming?”

Song Feng’s respectful tone caught Zhao Jiaojiao completely off guard.

Zhao Jiaojiao looked at the person sitting on the sofa watching her. ”You... You’re the Chairman... How is that possible!”

Jiang Li sneered. ”Why is it impossible? Or do you think I’m just like the others—that I can’t afford to rent an office either?”

Zhao Jiaojiao knew she had offended someone she shouldn’t have. She also remembered the meeting this morning mentioning that Fengmao Building had been acquired and the new Chairman would be coming over.

She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. ”I’m sorry, Chairman.”

Jiang Li said, ”Now you remember to apologize? If I weren’t the Chairman of Fengmao Building today, would you have conspired with your uncle to kick me out?”

Song Feng heard this and said, ”Chairman, you must be joking. How could we ever say such things to a customer? How could we do such things to a customer?”

Jiang Li nodded. ”I always thought the receptionists at Fengmao Building were trained and that their words and deeds were all regulated. However...” She paused here and looked at Zhao Jiaojiao next to Song Feng.

”However, I feel like this receptionist, Zhao Jiaojiao, hasn’t received any training at all!”

Zhao Jiaojiao would absolutely never admit she had entered through the back door, so she quickly spoke up, ”Chairman, I have been trained. I stayed because I passed the assessment myself.”

As for the nepotism, Song Feng naturally wouldn’t let a word slip either.

Jiang Li said, ”Fine, I’m tired of talking to you two. Go talk to the police... By the way, Song Feng, remember to hand over all the money you embezzled! Otherwise, your prison sentence will only be longer.”

As her voice fell, the police entered and took them both away.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Jiaojiao lost all restraint and began hurling insults at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li knew about Song Feng’s embezzlement, and also that Zhao Jiaojiao had actually killed someone.

That person was the ex-girlfriend of her current boyfriend.

Jiang Li had the system pull all this information up.

Jiang Li promoted the vice-manager to manager, though the vice-manager had to go through an assessment and screening first.

The new manager, Zhou Qing, was a capable person.

”By the way, Zhou Qing, which floor of Fengmao Building is the best?”

Zhou Qing replied, ”To answer the Chairman, it is the 99th floor. The 100th floor is the Chairman’s office.”

Jiang Li heard this. ”Mhm. Is the 99th floor for sale?”

Zhou Qing said, ”No. Because the 99th floor has a great location and a high price, it hasn’t been rented or sold yet.”

”Good, then set it aside! Renovate it; Jinlin Law Firm will be on the 99th floor!”

Zhou Qing replied, ”Understood, Chairman.”

Before coming to Fengmao, Jiang Li had looked at the storefront of Jinlin Law Firm; it was very small. So, coming here was also to find a good place for her law firm... At Modu Hospital,

”Doctor, how is my mother?”

The doctor looked at the scans. ”It’s alright. It was caught relatively early. Since it’s in the early stages, it can be surgically removed.”

He Xiangqi heard this. ”Thank you, doctor. Can we arrange for a bed now?”

Currently, he hadn’t reclaimed his status or his power; he was just a third-year high school student.

”Beds have been quite tight lately. However, given your mother’s situation, she can go home. It’s fine to wait until the surgery appointment is scheduled to come back.”

He Xiangqi didn’t want it to be this way, but the next patient was coming in, so the two of them had to leave.
