Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 507 Where is your arrogance now?
Chapter 507: 507 Where is your arrogance now?
Shi Lan went to Mingliu, not just to witness Lian Qingyi’s disgrace; she hadn’t checked on the decoration progress there for quite a while.
Therefore, although she had told Han Hao two o’clock, she had already driven to Mingliu’s parking lot just after one.
To make the upcoming act more spectacular, Shi Lan still dressed as she usually did, wearing the simplest black down jacket, along with a knitted hat and a black mask, thoroughly covering herself to conceal her face and identity completely.
Thus she entered Mingliu.
She headed to the construction site on the first floor and talked for a while with the foreign design team she was familiar with before she went upstairs to check on the progress level of each floor.
By then, several employees were already on the road; they were puzzled by her presence, with several approaching her politely to ask if she was lost.
Han Hao’s training had been effective.
These girls, with their delicate looks and friendly demeanor, spoke in soft, gentle voices, making one feel utterly at ease. Yet, Shi Lan pretended not to understand, which also served as her way of assessing the staff.
The girls tried to stop her again, patiently informing her that the place was not yet open. If she was looking for someone, they could relay a message if she provided a name.
Shi Lan ignored them, continuing forward.
Out of helplessness, the girls went directly to Lian Qingyi.
Lian Qingyi had been expecting the big boss’s arrival, but who wants to deal with these petty concerns? However, since it was her responsibility, she didn’t shirk it and came over to see to the matter. Still, her temper was not the best.
Lian Qingyi directly blocked Shi Lan and asked in a hostile tone, "Miss, our employees have told you that this place isn’t open to the public yet. Could you please leave immediately?"
Shi Lan looked at her and said, "Mingliu claims to be the future service center, but with an attitude like yours toward people, I’m afraid that won’t do."
"We aren’t open for business yet, don’t you understand human speech?" Lian Qingyi said hastily, for she was afraid this person would waste her time to meet the big boss, "Moreover, do you know what kind of people are allowed to enter here? Someone common like you, I advise you to not wander around aimlessly because you can’t afford to break even the cheapest item here! Get out now, or I’m calling the police!"
"Sister Qingyi, isn’t this a bit too much?" a girl by Lian Qingyi’s side said, "After all, we are in the service industry; isn’t it a bit wrong to humiliate people like this?"
"What do you know? Have you seen the world?" Lian Qingyi retorted, "Can you ask the front desk to do their job properly and not just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in, please?"
"If Mr. Han, the vice-president, finds out about this, he won’t be pleased."
"Why do I need him to be pleased? The company has its protocols; we can’t just let anyone in," Lian Qingyi continued emphatically, quite adept at making excuses for herself.
"What a fine example of the company’s protocols," Shi Lan sneered.
"Our Mingliu will be the new landmark of Yancheng in the future; people like you should just get out of here."
Seeing Lian Qingyi’s arrogant attitude, the little girl at her side couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to go find Han Hao, but at that moment, Han Hao, along with others, had already walked out of the elevator.
"Mr. Han... Sister Qingyi, she..."
"Mr. Han..." Lian Qingyi also called out, planning to seize the initiative, but Han Hao turned to face Shi Lan and bowed.
"President."
Upon hearing the word "President," everyone present was stunned.
Especially the girl and Lian Qingyi...
"President...?"
Shi Lan looked at Lian Qingyi and angrily said, "Everyone get inside for a meeting!"
Then, she walked ahead of Han Hao.
Han Hao followed behind, with everyone else looking bewildered following the two of them, except for Lian Qingyi, whose face was ashen, her body limp.
Because just thinking about what she had just said made her wish she could slap herself hard.
Mingliu’s preparatory staff began to enter Mingliu’s conference room, where Shi Lan had already taken the main seat, her eyes on Lian Qingyi, who was arriving late.
As soon as Lian Qingyi stepped into the conference room, Shi Lan pointed at her and beckoned with her finger, saying, "Come here."
Lian Qingyi walked over, her head hung low in utter self-consciousness.
"Just now in the corridor you were so arrogant. What about it now, Miss Lian?"
"I..."
"Do you think the Lian Family is invincible? Do you think that with your father backing you, you can throw your weight around anywhere?" Shi Lan asked coolly, "Would you like me to give you this chair to sit in?"
"President... I’m sorry, I... I didn’t know."
"Whether you knew or not, does it matter? Behind my back, behind other people’s backs, when you face people more common than you, can you just point your finger at them, telling them to get lost? Who taught you that?" Shi Lan continued her barrage.
"I... just." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"What, just driven by profit, dazzled by money, habitually categorizing people into ranks, assuming everyone else is trash in your eyes? Sorry, you’re even worse than trash in my eyes."
"That’s because you didn’t disclose your identity initially," Lian Qingyi argued.
"So you can just point at my nose and tell me to get lost?"
"If you had initially mentioned you were the president..."
"So because I appeared as a regular person, you can point at my nose and tell me to get lost?"
Normally, Lian Qingyi was known for her quick wit, but in front of Miss Shi, she had no room to maneuver.
No matter how she argued, Miss Shi could turn the argument around.
"What about your higher education? Didn’t even finish compulsory education, did you? Let me tell you, in this conference room, there are many more people capable and educated than you are, so drop the attitude that your dad is so great. If your dad is that great, let him try and surpass me," Shi Lan said coldly.
"Yancheng is full of wealthy and powerful tycoons. Where do you rank?"
Lian Qingyi was left speechless by Shi Lan’s scathing words, her face flush with humiliation and disgrace.
"It’s just a broken Mingliu; what’s so great about it?" Lian Qingyi finally burst out, unable to bear it any longer, "I’ll make you see what happens to those who cross me!"
As she turned to leave, Shi Lan called out to her.
"Hey."
Lian Qingyi looked towards Shi Lan, only to see Shi Lan taking her resume from Han Hao’s hand and throwing it at her, "Make it clear, it’s me asking you to leave."
Enraged, but unable to do anything about Miss Shi, Lian Qingyi was furious.
"You just wait and see."
