She thought about Li Zhiyan again.
There were only two more etings left. If this ended quickly, she wouldn’t have to endure this kind of ntal tornt anymore.
These days were truly excruciating, yet sohow, Catherine found herself missing Li Zhiyan a little, even feeling a strange urge to call him back to the company.
"What’s wrong with ..."
The thought startled Catherine; she was appalled at herself for having such degrading ideas.
Li Zhiyan was rely a lowly Asian—a small employee under her command. Did he deserve such thoughts from her?
What a joke.
"He’s not worthy of intimacy with ."
As Catherine’s mind wandered chaotically, the secretary knocked on her door.
"Co in."
"President, Ms. Jin Muxue is here to see you. She’s a university professor."
Catherine was montarily stunned but quickly recalled.
She seed to have t Professor Jin at a business gala once, back when she and her husband hadn’t yet divorced over certain equity disputes.
Although they had divorced, their financial arrangents still entangled them in various agreents.
Thinking of her husband, Catherine felt deeply bitter.
Her husband was short and lacked substance. Coupled with Catherine’s rather intense energy levels...
Her husband had long since lost any vigor.
While he had been enthusiastic about discussing investnts and business deals with her, every ti Catherine tried to pull him back to the bedroom...
He would duck away, timid and evasive. Over ti, the two had begun living separately. Though Catherine had grown accustod to life with her son,
she was essentially in a single state now.
After all, their affection remained, but any physical connection had long since vanished. Strictly speaking, they were more like deeply bonded relatives now, after so many years of divorce.
But the loneliness in her heart had always simred beneath the surface, and ever since Li Zhiyan joined the company, Catherine had started to feel as though she was about to lose control.
Her thoughts drifted further and further until the secretary subtly prompted her.
Only then did Catherine return to the mont and lift her head.
"Let Professor Jin in."
"Alright."
Liu Hongjie was sowhat acquainted with her husband, so this courtesy was one Catherine felt she should extend.
Soon, Jin Muxue, wearing high heels that brought her height to only 155 centiters, walked in. Her petite figure, paired with her glasses and tailored suit skirt, along with nude stockings, made her appear exceptionally sophisticated and elegant.
Seeing Jin Muxue again, Catherine was sowhat astonished to realize that this woman’s bust wasn’t inferior to hers in the slightest.
Close to an E-cup, full and striking! Catherine struggled to understand how soone with a height of only 150 centiters—barely reaching her own chest—could possess such vitality.
"Professor Jin."
"Catherine, hello."
After exchanging pleasantries, Catherine invited Jin Muxue to sit down.
"Professor Jin, are you here to discuss business matters today?"
"Other than so aspects handled here, I generally don’t deal much with business matters; my husband oversees them."
Despite their hidden divorce, outwardly they maintained the façade of a proper marital relationship, given the significant comrcial interests involved.
"No, not quite."
"Catherine, I ca to discuss sothing with you."
"I want you to fire soone."
Jin Muxue believed asking Catherine to dismiss a re junior employee would be a trivial matter—after all, Li Zhiyan had no noteworthy background.
In their upper-class society, personal connections carried significant weight.
"Fire soone? Did soone offend you? Tell , I’ll take care of it."
Firing an employee ant paying N 1 severance compensation at most, but for a company like Changlong Group, such expenses were insignificant.
Jin Muxue’s social connections were truly powerful; cultivating deeper ties with her could benefit Catherine greatly.
"Yes, a young man by the na of Li Zhiyan."
At the ntion of him, Jin Muxue felt utterly humiliated. Never in her life had she been so humiliated before.
Last ti, Li Zhiyan had truly beaten her rcilessly, without holding back at all.
Jin Muxue resolved to first cut off Li Zhiyan’s inco, and later sabotage his attempts to find employnt wherever he went.
"Li Zhiyan."
Catherine froze montarily. She hadn’t expected Li Zhiyan to have offended Jin Muxue. It seed this insubordinate brat had a knack for getting on people’s bad sides, and his downfall was inevitable.
Instinctively, Catherine was about to agree to fire Li Zhiyan, thinking she could gain favor with Jin Muxue this way.
But almost imdiately, Catherine rembered that she still had plans to bully and dominate Li Zhiyan professionally. There were two more etings she needed to complete first.
Firing Li Zhiyan wouldn’t be so simple either.
Within the company, Li Zhiyan did have backing.
Previously, when she’d tried to make things hard for him, she encountered quite a bit of pushback—even though she was the president overseeing all company affairs.
Yet there were so many pairs of watchful eyes on her.
Her actions couldn’t always be entirely unchecked.
"Professor Jin, not at the mont."
Jin Muxue’s youthful and innocent face imdiately darkened.
"Catherine, he’s just a low-level employee. Is this your way of refusing to give face?"
