Unexpected Second Chance at Love-Chapter 921 A thumbs-up

It was exactly as Liu Shan had proclaimed. Despite the heavy traffic in the heart of Imperial, he drove to An Qing in less than 30 minutes.

He drove the car inside An Qing’s parking garage, then parked it and glanced in the rearview mirror to look at his boss. When she saw how relaxed she was, he couldn’t help but pursed his lips.

“Boss, is it necessary to push up the meeting?”

He couldn’t understand her reason for suddenly making this decision. She has gotten rid of all the opposing people, and only those who remain are the ones she trusts.

Was there something that he had missed?

Yue Ling sat calmly in the backseat with a tablet in hand. When she heard her assistant’s words, she casually turn the tablet off and set it aside.

Her eyes fluttered, and her gaze locked with him in the rearview mirror.

“It’s necessary.”

She is aware of why her assistant is confused, but this is something she had planned.

Despite deposing the people who schemed against her and keeping only those close to her, she still has to uphold her role.

She wanted to put her employees at An Qing to the test.

Without saying another word, she reaches for her bag and then the door.

Liu Shan was at an utter loss for words. He didn’t need to question her to grasp the meaning behind her words.

He sighs for the employees of An Qing before helping himself out of the car to follow his boss.

As he reaches her side, he places his hands in his pockets and gives her a side glance.

“Aren’t you worried that your employees here might see you as a cold villainess for doing this?”

Yue Ling continues to walk towards the entrance without looking at her assistant. She nonchalantly shrugs her shoulders and parts her lips.

“If doing this makes them see me as that then it means they are easily intimidated, and they might not have been as competent as I had thought.”

Liu Shan pursed his lips again. He hated to admit it, but she was right.

A superior pushing up a meeting is not uncommon in the business industry. However, Yue Ling did this not out of pleasure but to see if the people she personally picked out meet her criteria.

“Good morning, CEO Han.”

The second Yue Ling and Liu Shan entered through the doors of An Qing, they were greeted by ten employees. Each individual politely bowed in welcome of their boss and her assistant.

Liu Shan was surprised by the scene but Yue Ling was calm as this was something she had become accustomed to in the industry.

“Good morning.”

Yue Ling responded with a light smile across her face. She scans the faces of the ten people before settling her eyes on the oldest person.

“Mr. Liu.”

Hearing her call for him, Liu Yilong lifts his head before straightening his posture. He takes a few steps to stand closer to Yue Ling and smiles.

“Yes, CEO Han. Is there anything I can assist you with?”

Yue Ling glances at the elderly man, and her eyes slightly narrow like she is reading his expression. She didn’t know why but she got the feeling that he was feeling proud about something.

Her eyes roll in a playful gesture, and a soft chuckle spaces her lips.

“Alright, you did a good job.”

Liu Yilong’s eyes lit up with twinkle as a small sigh of relief escaped the other nine employees waiting at the side. Due to the sudden rush to prepare for Yue Ling’s arrival, An Qing flew into a frenzy.

If only she knew how much they were holding in their breaths in fear that they might have disappointed her.

Yue Ling heard the faint sigh of relief from the others and glance at each person. The smile on her face disappears and her demeanor returns to her usual expression void of emotions.

“Of course, there is still more to see and do.”

Her words entered everyone’s ears and the relief inside them dropped but not too much. They were even more determined to make sure that they pleased her.

Liu Yilong smiles and laughs as he nods his head in understanding. He gestures with one hand while his other hand is placed behind his back.

“Right this way, CEO Han.”

Yue Ling takes a step forward, then another as she proceeds in the direction the elderly man had pointed. Behind her, Liu Shan, who had stayed on the sideline, followed. However, when he caught a glimpse of the elderly man’s hand that was held behind his back, he (Liu Shan) pressed his lips tightly together to keep himself from laughing.

The old man was giving him a thumbs-up.

He shakes his head lightly before following his boss. He knew that if he had not told Secretary Jiang to call Liu Yilong in advance, An Qing would not have been ready for his boss.

As Yue Ling, Liu Shan, and Liu Yilong walk away, the other nine individuals glance at one another. They were extremely shocked by Yue Ling’s attitude towards them.

“What just happened?”

“Did we mess anything up?”

In the past, Chen Limei would have thrown an outburst of rage when she had to push up a meeting. Not only that, she would find the tiniest fault in anything and turn it into something big. There were times when she would randomly lash out her frustration at the employees for no reason.

Everyone was thrilled about the news when they heard that Yue Ling was the creator of An Qing and had taken back her position as CEO. However, no matter how much they typed her name on the internet, they were left with little details.

This made them uneasy as no one knew how she was when working with others behind closed doors. What if she puts on a good impression in front of the cameras but is actually an evil witch??

And to their utter disbelief, she was beyond anything they had ever imagined.

Yue Ling was not only polite towards them but also amiable.

Everyone glanced at one another for a split second before scurrying away to follow their superiors. As much as they were eager to get the news out, they needed to show Yue Ling that they were competent in their job.
