Chapter 4: Do you want to be a security guard or a cleaner?

...

Her background and identity made her dislike hiding her dissatisfaction like most successful Chinese people. Especially at this moment, a person, a man, a young man with hands and feet, was using personal connections to justify his plan to freeload at a company, as if it were perfectly reasonable and natural. Looking at his eyes, she was on the verge of losing her temper.

Moreover, from the look of this person, it seemed that coming to this company to be a freeloader was already a huge favor to Uncle Mu.

"Good, very good. Did Uncle Mu tell you what position he wants you to take?" Ouyang Feifei kept reminding herself that this was in China, where personal connections and social graces were inevitable. Besides, Uncle Mu owed her a favor. Since she had already agreed to Uncle Mu, she couldn't embarrass him.

"Ah? Old Mu didn't mention that. He just said on the phone that everything was arranged?" Wang Yong said with a slight surprise.

"Um, it is arranged." Ouyang Feifei forced herself to stay calm to avoid doing something that would damage her ladylike image in a fit of anger. Her face became as calm as water, and her mind started to work quickly: "However, Uncle Mu didn't specify what position. As the company's president, I must consider the company's interests. Based on the principle of using people to their best advantage, I have decided to hire you as a security guard."

"Security guard?" Wang Yong's face turned extremely strange: "You actually want me to be a security guard? Uh, is this Old Mu's idea, or yours?"

"It's my idea, but even if you complain to Uncle Mu, it won't help. The board has granted me absolute personnel authority for a year. Even Uncle Mu, as the chairman, cannot overturn my personnel decisions. This is our agreement." Seeing Wang Yong's surprised expression, Ouyang Feifei felt as refreshed as if she had eaten an ice cream on a hot day. The feeling of revenge was really good. Originally, the thought of such a person freeload at her company made her feel like she had swallowed a fly. But making him a security guard was like stuffing a handful of flies into his mouth.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt her idea was brilliant, and the more she felt she was incredibly smart. For a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she rarely smiled.

"How did you come up with the idea of making me a security guard?" Wang Yong asked calmly: "Because of my TV university degree? Are you discriminating against me? TV university is still a university, isn't it? Are you discriminating against my degree?"

"Although using degrees to measure a person's ability can be very inaccurate, I welcome those who have no degree but have ability. However, in your resume, there are no past achievements." Ouyang Feifei shrugged and said seriously: "However, according to your resume, you seem to have served in the military. After considering your background and the company's needs, I found that you are very suitable for the position of security guard. As the chairman said, all jobs are equal, just with different roles. Are you discriminating against the position of security guard?"

"Uh, I don't mean to discriminate against the security guard. I just want to ask if I can have a different position? I don't really want to be a security guard." Wang Yong's face turned somewhat gloomy, as if he was thinking of something heavy.

But this expression, in Ouyang Feifei's eyes, looked like he was in deep mourning. The more she saw his dejected look, the more she felt a strange satisfaction, even though her face remained calm, with only a slight frown: "Mr. Wang, the company has its difficulties. As the president appointed by the board, I often have to consider the overall situation. If everyone in the company tells me they don't want to do a certain job and only want to do what they like, my work would be impossible to continue. Please understand, Mr. Wang. In consideration of Uncle Mu, I will give you one more choice. If you don't want to be a security guard, you can be a cleaner."

Although her words were polite and humble, Ouyang Feifei was inwardly laughing like a blooming flower when she saw Wang Yong's stunned expression.

Her best friend and father had seriously told her that being a company president in China was completely different from abroad. As a president, one must be authoritative without showing it, speak official and diplomatic language, and know how to manipulate and achieve one's goals indirectly. One must never be straightforward and rigid.

Initially, she had dismissed such advice, but at this moment, she seemed to understand. Sometimes, using special means to deal with special people was quite effective.

Ouyang Feifei thought to herself, aren't you arrogant? Don't you drink my coffee? Don't you smoke in my office? Don't you use personal connections to get a freeload position from Uncle Mu? Fine, I'll let you have your way. Either you do it, or you leave. If you do it, I'll show you what it means to be under Ouyang Feifei. If you don't do it, it's your choice, and Uncle Mu's favor will be repaid.

"Uh, being a cleaner is a bit too much, isn't it?" Wang Yong touched his nose and said with a bitter smile. He was somewhat unwilling to be a security guard, as it would remind him of some memories he didn't want to touch.

"Mr. Wang, if you don't want to do anything, I can't help it. All positions in the company are already filled, and I believe Uncle Mu will respect my decision as per our agreement. I'm sorry, but I hope we have the chance to work together again." Ouyang Feifei's perfect face showed a hint of regret. It was a bit regretful, as if this person left, she would lose the satisfaction of making his life difficult.

In her life, it was the first time she had encountered someone she couldn't resist wanting to teach a lesson. However, making this person disappear from her sight forever was also a pleasant outcome.

Wang Yong frowned and thought carefully, as if he had understood something. His face showed a look of relief: "Since that's the case, I'll be a security guard. As President Ouyang said, all jobs are equal."

Ouyang Feifei was taken aback, not expecting him to agree to be a security guard. She thought to herself, well, once you start working, I'll show you what it means to be under Ouyang Feifei.

The idea of making someone's life difficult was something her best friend, who was two years older, had taught her after she returned to China to take over the company. According to her friend's logic, anyone who dared to be disobedient should be made to limp. Her friend had even privately taught her various methods to make someone's life difficult. At the time, Ouyang Feifei had strongly disagreed and dismissed it.

But now, she thought that if she used those methods on the extremely detestable Wang Yong, it would be a good way to fight fire with fire.

"Since that's the case, please have Director Tang help Mr. Wang with the onboarding procedures." While thinking of some small tricks, her tone was very polite, and she even bowed slightly.

"Sure, I'll take care of it right away, President. Please take care of yourself." Tang Yongnian, with a respectful face, invited Wang Yong to leave. After closing the president's office door, he let out a deep sigh of relief and wiped his cold sweat.

This respectful demeanor made Wang Yong laugh: "Director Tang, you seem like an old hand. Is that pretty girl so scary that she scares you like this?"

"Brother, you don't know." Tang Yongnian, who had survived three presidents, was an expert at reading people. He could tell that Wang Yong had a strong relationship with Chairman Mu. Otherwise, President Ouyang, who never favored anyone and despised backdoor deals, wouldn't have made an exception for him. Therefore, he was very polite to Wang Yong, looking around and lowering his voice: "As the saying goes, the tough fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the fearless. When you meet someone like President Ouyang, who doesn't care about anything, is impervious to persuasion, and holds the power, even an old hand is useless."

"Ha, Old Mu must have been bored to death to bring such a young girl to run the company. I can't believe he thought of that." Wang Yong couldn't help but laugh as he walked.

"Brother, I can see you have some connection with the old chairman. As an old subordinate of Chairman Mu, I have to give you some advice." Tang Yongnian took the opportunity to be friendly and whispered: "I've already figured out President Ouyang's temper. As long as you follow her a bit, work diligently on the tasks she assigns, and flatter her privately, it's easy to deal with. Brother, I advise you not to oppose President Ouyang. Say some nice things and ask for a more relaxed position. Being a security guard is hard and tiring, and it's not a good job."

"Thanks, Director Tang. But let's talk about it later. Anyway, I'm just looking for a job to make a living. What difference does it make which position I take?" Wang Yong replied politely. He was the kind of person who would return a favor for a favor.

"Alright, work hard for now. When the president calms down and is in a better mood, I'll put in a good word for you." Tang Yongnian didn't force the issue, and after showing more friendliness, he personally helped Wang Yong with the onboarding procedures.

At the same time, Ouyang Feifei stood up from her comfortable office chair, holding the phone, and said in shock: "No, you can't do that."
