Zhuang Nainai panicked.

She stood up quickly and stretched out her hands straight toward Zhang Chaowen. “Return my cell phone to me!”

Zhang Chaowen took a step back and laughed coldly. “Mr. Si has already stated clearly that whenever a meeting is being held in the Imperial Group, all employees must switch off their cell phones! Even my cell phone is switched off, but you’re really bold! Let me tell you, for so many years in the Imperial Group, the only person who dares to pick up a call during meetings is Mr. Si!”

As soon as he had finished speaking, he then looked toward the phone screen.

Zhuang Nainai was extremely angered by his actions. This person was simply unreasonable!

Even if the company had such a rule, he can punish her, or even dismiss her, but what right did he have to look at her cell phone?!

Most importantly, if the other party were to see her contact list...

Zhang Chaowen glanced over and immediately laughed coldly. “Arrogant Sir?”

Upon hearing this, the entire office instantly fell silent. Everyone then burst into uproarious laughter.

Zhuang Nainai immediately blushed. Upon seeing the sincere or vicious smiles that were surrounding her in the office, she really wished she could find a hole and crawl into it!

Zhang Chaowen snorted coldly. “What’s this all about?! Do young people nowadays like to give each other a nickname so much?! Seriously...”

Zhang Chaowen threw the cell phone onto the table and said with a cold expression, “Zhuang Nainai, if you don’t want to work, then get out!”

Zhuang Nainai really wished she could smash that cell phone onto Zhang Chaowen’s face. This person was simply so detestable.

Just from his actions and behavior, people could deeply sense that he was doing it out of malice.

Zhuang Nainai let out a deep sigh, picked up the cell phone from the meeting room table, and switched it off. She then looked toward Zhang Chaowen and wanted to answer back sarcastically but eventually took a deep breath. “This is my fault.”

It wouldn’t hurt her to admit that she was in the wrong. Besides, if she were to quarrel with him, she would only be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Yet, unexpectedly...

“Get out right now. After the meeting, I’ll report this matter to Mi Nuo, the Head of Design. Just wait ’til then for your punishment!”

Zhuang Nainai had always been an eyesore to Zhang Chaowen. Although she had just joined the Imperial Group, she was already gradually starting to show her talent during meetings.

She’s a woman of few words, but every time she raised a suggestion, she never failed to impress others.

This kind of person was definitely a threat in the venue design department!

It wasn’t easy for him to point out her mistake, so how could he let her off so easily?

It was neither a big deal nor a small deal for her to use her cell phone during a meeting.

Yet, it was indeed a fact that Mr. Si had stipulated before that all cell phones must be switched off during meetings.

An employee was even dismissed right away just because he picked up a call during a meeting with Mr. Si!

Zhang Chaowen felt that he must definitely make use of this opportunity to drive her away completely.

Upon hearing what Zhang Chaowen had said, Zhuang Nainai gritted her teeth in anger. Being left with no other choice, she could only take her leave now.

She walked out while looking dejected and returned to her seat sulkily.

While she was deliberating, the company’s internal line rang.

In a bad mood, Zhuang Nainai picked up the call at her extension. “Hello!”

“Arrogant Sir” Si Zhengting’s voice came through, “What happened?”

Just two simple words. He was probably asking why she hung up on him just now. Zhuang Nainai picked up her cell phone and switched it on. “I was in a meeting just now.”

Thus, could you change that lousy and unreasonable regulation of yours?

Employees aren’t allowed to pick up calls during a meeting? What if an employee’s family member is in the hospital, waiting to see his family members for the last time before he passes away?!

Zhuang Nainai’s heart was full of pent-up grievances, but she didn’t dare to complain.

She must be aware that since yesterday night, Si Zhengting was already unhappy for no good reason.

After acknowledging her, Si Zhengting said, “You’re not allowed to go out tonight.”
