Chapter 189: Ask Liu Guixiang to come to my office

Jiayi looked nervous, fearing that her negligence might anger Lin Fan.

Lin Fan naturally didn’t mind, smiled and said, "It’s okay."

Jiayi said, "Chairman, let me take you to your office."

"Sure," Lin Fan said.

The receptionist nearby froze, her face turning pale from shock.

Oh my god, the person in front of her was really their new chairman!

Her words earlier had clearly offended the new chairman; how could she not be afraid?

Lin Fan turned to the receptionist and smiled, "What’s your name?"

The receptionist stammered, "My name is Zhou Jingwen, Chairman. I really didn’t know... I’m sorry, please don’t fire me, I need this job to support my family."

The young girl was about to burst into tears from fear.

Lin Fan smiled warmly, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t fire you. You’re doing a great job not letting strangers into the company. Little Zhao, let’s go."

After speaking, Lin Fan and Jiayi went inside.

Zhou Jingwen breathed a huge sigh of relief, she was nearly scared to death. It’s true you can’t judge a book by its cover. Thinking back, although the chairman’s attire was simple, he was quite handsome and had a gentle demeanor.

Recalling her earlier claim of being the chairman’s wife, Zhou Jingwen’s face turned red with embarrassment, utterly mortified.

Jiayi led Lin Fan to a spacious and bright office. The furnishings were exquisite, indicating that the former chairman was a person of taste.

Lin Fan sat on the chairman’s chair, which was very comfortable. Owning a company valued at 50 billion felt quite nice.

"Chairman, I’ll get you a cup of coffee," Jiayi said.

Lin Fan replied, "Okay. By the way, does our company have an HR manager named Liu Guixiang?"

Jiayi replied, "Yes."

She was a little curious, how did the chairman know Liu Guixiang?

Lin Fan said, "Please ask her to come in while you’re at it."

Not daring to ask more questions, Jiayi said, "Okay, I’ll go immediately."

HR Manager’s office.

Liu Guixiang sat in her office chair, still a bit angry when she recalled bumping into Lin Fan in the restroom earlier. Lin Fan had offended her!

Once Lin Fan comes for the interview, she planned to give him a hard time. Of course, the cleaning job was definitely not going to Lin Fan!

The thought of humiliating Lin Fan and then sending him away, unable to get the job while being mistreated, brought her satisfaction.

After all, who told Lin Fan to mock her!

Suddenly, her phone rang; it was Jiayi calling.

"Manager Liu, the chairman wants you to go to his office," Jiayi said.

Liu Guixiang was stunned; no way, the chairman was asking for her!

Was it the new chairman? Why would he call her to the office? It was a bit strange!

"Secretary Zhao, do you know what it’s about?" Liu Guixiang asked, feeling a bit apprehensive.

Jiayi replied, "I don’t know, you’d better go. I still need to make coffee for the chairman."

The call ended right after.

Liu Guixiang reluctantly left her office and headed towards the chairman’s office.

Before long, she arrived outside the chairman’s office, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Inside, there was only one person, sitting in the chairman’s chair, facing away from her, seemingly admiring the view outside the window.

This must be the chairman!

Liu Guixiang was a little nervous, "Chairman, I heard you wanted to see me?"

Upon hearing this, the chair turned around.

Seeing the person sitting in the chair, Liu Guixiang was taken aback; wasn’t it Lin Fan!

"Lin Fan, what are you doing here?" Liu Guixiang asked in surprise, this was completely beyond her expectation.

Lin Fan smiled, "You came."

Liu Guixiang’s face immediately darkened in anger, "I asked what you’re doing here. You clueless guy, do you know this is our chairman’s office? Who do you think you are, sitting in the chairman’s chair? Get up!"

Lin Fan wasn’t angry, "I know, that’s why I’m sitting here."

Liu Guixiang scolded, "How did you sneak in? Aren’t you here to apply for the cleaning job? Did you get into the wrong place or sneak into the chairman’s office on purpose? I think you’re pretending to apply and actually here to steal something!"

Lin Fan smiled, "We’ve been schoolmates, do you have to speak so harshly?"

Liu Guixiang snorted coldly, "Who cares about being your schoolmate? You went to an ordinary university and ended up applying for a cleaning job. I haven’t even called you a disgrace yet! Are you going to get up or should I call security?"

Lin Fan said, "Alright, let’s stop joking. I’m not here to steal, nor am I here for the job application."

Liu Guixiang interrogated, "Then why did you sneak into the chairman’s office?"

"Chairman, here’s your coffee,"

At this moment, Jiayi walked in with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled, "Thank you."

Liu Guixiang was stunned.

What? Secretary Zhao called Lin Fan chairman?

Wait a minute!

What the hell is going on?

Cold sweat covered Liu Guixiang’s forehead, "Secretary Zhao, what’s going on here?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Little Zhao, introduce my identity to her."

Jiayi said, "Yes, Manager Liu, he is our Celestial Aviation’s new chairman."

Liu Guixiang’s face turned pale, blurting out, "Impossible, this is absurd. He came to apply for a cleaning job; how could he possibly be the chairman..."

But she also knew that Secretary Zhao wouldn’t lie, and there was no reason to deceive her.

Oh my god, Lin Fan is the one who bought Celestial Aviation, the legendary new chairman, the CEO!

Jiayi frowned, "What are you talking about? Do you know what you’re saying?"

Thud!

Liu Guixiang’s knees gave way, and she knelt down to Lin Fan.

Crying her eyes out.

"Chairman, it’s my fault; I didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me, don’t fire me, I have an eighty-year-old mother to support. I can’t lose this job!"

Liu Guixiang, with tears and snot, began to beg.

She seemed to forget that she had just been hostile towards Lin Fan; now she was already humble as if she were a dog.

She couldn’t help it; she was terrified, realizing she had offended the new chairman, and her job might not be secure.

Lin Fan looked at the woman who had just appeared superior in front of him and was now groveling, and couldn’t help but show a playful smile.

What a snob, a former classmate. In high school, he repeatedly helped her with her studies. Mistaking him for someone applying for a cleaning job, she immediately assumed a superior attitude, belittling him for not succeeding.

If Lin Fan were really down on his luck, he would have to endure being mocked by her, silently suffering.

"Liu Guixiang, how long have you been with Celestial Aviation?" Lin Fan asked leisurely.

Liu Guixiang quickly said, "Three years. I joined the company before graduating, climbed my way up from an intern to HR manager. Chairman, for the sake of our past as classmates, please forgive me this once. I’ll even kowtow to you!"

She indeed began kowtowing.

Jiayi stood by, dumbfounded; what was going on?

Lin Fan said, "Sounds like a tough journey, but I see you haven’t learned to respect people after three years. What’s wrong with a cleaning job that you look down on?"

Liu Guixiang’s face was flushed, "I was wrong. I should respect people and not discriminate based on occupation."

Lin Fan smiled, "Alright, it’s good that you know your mistake. I won’t fire you."

Liu Guixiang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Chairman!"

Lin Fan said, "I’m not done yet. I won’t fire you, but you need to return to an intern position to relearn some things. Your salary and treatment will also be at intern level. Whether you can become HR manager again depends on your performance."

Liu Guixiang’s smile froze, as if she had swallowed a fly: "..."

Lin Fan no longer paid attention to her and stood up, "Little Zhao, is it time for the meeting?"

Jiayi replied, "Yes, the board members are all here, just waiting for the chairman."

Lin Fan said, "Let’s go to the meeting then."

With that, Lin Fan and Jiayi walked out.

Meeting room.

Celestial Aviation’s board members had already gathered, waiting for Lin Fan’s arrival.
