“We’re in the company, not at home. You’re messing around right now!” Jiang Qian said angrily.

Jiang Xinxin did not care at all. “Why? You Don’t want me to talk, and you’re saying I’m messing around? Did I say something that hit a sore spot? Otherwise, why would you react so strongly?”

She turned to look at Jiang Mingzhu, “Also, if you really want her to be promoted to director, that’s fine, but I can’t give her my creative department. I’m afraid that based on her ability, she’ll eventually lead this department astray. When that happens, you’ll be biased and say that I’m not capable enough, and you’ll come looking for trouble with me.”

“You have to make it sound so unpleasant.” Jiang Qian was about to get angry again. He pointed at Jiang Xinxin, wanting to give her a good lecture, but someone had tugged his sleeve. He looked down and saw Jiang Mingzhu looking at him. There seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Jiang Xinxin also noticed Jiang Mingzhu. She was indeed good at acting! She clearly had an aggrieved look on her face and was about to cry, but she was able to say such sweet words.

“What sister said is not unreasonable. Since I don’t have the skills yet, I don’t want to take this position. If what sister said is true, everyone in the company will think that it’s your mistake, father. I still have a lot to learn. I have indeed let you down, father.”

Jiang Qian saw his precious daughter being bullied pitifully, and his heart ached even more. He was even more disgusted with Jiang Xinxin’s attitude. Both of them were clearly his daughters, both of them were his children. The eldest daughter was very practical and sensible. In contrast, the younger daughter was very delicate and could not bear the slightest bit of injustice. Now, she even embarrassed him here. He felt even more heartache for Jiang Mingzhu. He lovingly stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry. You deserve this promotion. She’s your sister. You have to learn to understand.”

“Father, I really don’t want to be promoted anymore. I thank you for helping me, but I think that with my own efforts, I can get this position. When the time comes, my sister won’t have anything to say.” The exchange between the two of them was very familial. It seemed that Jiang Xinxin was an outsider.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, the vice president stood up. “President Jiang, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what Mingzhu said. If she needs to be assessed, she can take another assessment. I believe that with her ability, she will definitely pass the assessment at the end of this year, and the position of director will definitely be hers. As for the position of director, it will be vacant for the time being. In the future, report directly to me on the performance of these three department managers.”

Jiang Qian glanced at Jiang Xinxin, who was still standing in the same spot. He knew that if the matter was not resolved now, she would definitely continue to make trouble. After he nodded slightly to express assent, he stormed off in anger. When Jiang Mingzhu left, Jiang Xinxin walked to her side and said in a tone that could only be heard by two people, “Sister, do you think it’s fun? This is only the first time. Consider it your reward for stealing someone.”

Jiang Mingzhu paused mid-stride. She glanced at Jiang Xinxin for a moment, but she still quickly left with Jiang Qian. The meeting ended hastily. Even the person who presided over the meeting had left, so there was no need for this meeting to continue.

The manga department’s manager walked to Jiang Xinxin’s side, “I still have to thank you for today’s matter. If you hadn’t spoken out to stop her, that person would have been our boss. If we report directly to the vice president now, we can be considered for the promotion. As long as we perform well in the future, the vice president will definitely see our hard work.”

Jiang Xinxin glanced at the woman and continued to tidy up the documents in her hands. “I didn’t help you. I just don’t like her style..”
