Chapter 309 — Fear

Hearing Sun Jie's words, the two felt somewhat relieved, but Yang Ce had not voiced his stance, so they dared not rise on their own. Though Sun Jie was the nominal head of the company, Yang Ce could take their lives! Which of the two was more formidable—they had long since weighed that in their hearts.

Yang Ce knew they would not dare rise on their own, so he said: "From now on, whatever Xiao Jie says represents my will."

"Thank you, Miss Sun. Thank you, Mr. Yang..." The two hurried to express their gratitude and scrambled to their feet. With Yang Ce's word, they could rest easy.

"No need for thanks. Just do your jobs well," Sun Jie said coolly. "I'm no empress, and I don't want anyone bowing and scraping to me. All I ask is that you work diligently."

The two hastily agreed, and at the next floor they found an excuse and got off.

Once the elevator doors closed again, Sun Jie covered her mouth and giggled: "You're scarier than those great demon kings. Look at what you've done to my company's people!"

"I don't see anything wrong with it." Yang Ce shrugged. "Right now, no matter how much you pay them, they wouldn't dare get any ideas. You can completely avoid a repeat of what happened with Tian Long."

"That's true, but this empress feeling really isn't all that great. I don't like it," Sun Jie said with a bitter smile.

"Even better. If you were an empress, I couldn't stand it!" Yang Yanzhou said. "Now that you've established your authority in the company, no one will deceive you anymore."

Sun Jie nodded. "You're right. The company should have been straightened out long ago. If I'd met you earlier, this incident wouldn't have happened."

"Didn't you meet me long ago?" Yang Moyi blinked mockingly. "Before, it was you who didn't trust me, thinking I was just a freshman."

"Well, isn't that because of your age? How was I supposed to know you were full of so many tricks?" Sun Jie refused to back down. "Besides, before, every time you came to see me, you just wanted to do that with me. It got a bit tiresome."

"Is that so..." Yang Ce broke into a sweat, feeling that he wasn't the type to be so desperate for sex... Maybe his approach before had been wrong. He'd thought that if he pushed Sun Jie down, pushed and pushed, she'd get used to it, but he hadn't expected that she didn't like it that way.

Sun Jie gave Yang Puqi a glare, clearly showing her contempt for his lack of self-awareness.

The thirty-sixth floor was the highest floor of the company and also where the company's senior executives had their offices. It was probably from this that the term "senior levels" had come about, later specifically referring to the company's leadership class.

Arriving at the door of the chairman's office, they heard voices inside, as if a meeting was in progress. Sun Jie knocked, and after a moment the door opened. It was Sun Lin's secretary.

"Miss Sun?" Sun Lin had instructed the secretary to tell anyone at the door that a meeting was in progress and to come back later, but since the person was Sun Jie, the secretary obviously could not say that. So he said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go ask the chairman. He's in a meeting right now."

Sun Jie nodded. She knew the secretary was acting on her father's orders and did not make things difficult for him.
