Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Ordinary Table is Quite Good

By this time, Cui Fengjiu and the others had already taken notice of Ding Lijuan at the door.

"Who are you, do you need something?"

Ding Lijuan was so scared that her legs went weak, and she nearly sat straight down on the floor.

Behind her, Chen Xuan spoke up, "Oh, she came here to... "

Chen Xuan originally intended to explain the situation, to tell Cui Fengjiu and the others that Ding Lijuan came here to ask them to give up the Supreme Private Room.

But before Chen Xuan could speak, Ding Lijuan interrupted him, saying, "Sorry, I think I entered the wrong room. If there’s nothing else, I won’t bother you anymore! Hahaha..."

With that, Ding Lijuan turned and left without another word.

What a joke, asking these VIPs to give up their private room for her, was she tired of living!

Watching Ding Lijuan’s hasty retreat, Chen Xuan sneered to himself.

So it turns out this mother-in-law also has things she’s afraid of!

Back on the lower floor, Ding Lijuan’s face was deathly pale, still not recovered from the shock she had experienced.

"Big sister, how did it go, did that good-for-nothing Chen Xuan obediently give up the Supreme Private Room to us?" Guo Yueling asked excitedly.

Ding Liang was also full of expectation.

Ding Lijuan felt somewhat embarrassed, "Well, I just checked it out, and the Supreme Private Room is too big—there’s even an echo when you talk. I think a regular table is quite nice just for the few of us."

As someone who cared greatly about her face, she naturally wouldn’t admit that she had been scared into running back.

Upon hearing this, Guo Yueling and Ding Liang were quite disappointed, but there was nothing they could do at this point.

Han Jingting was somewhat puzzled.

Based on her understanding of her mother, she would not give up so easily on something she had set her mind on; what was happening today?

The group took their seats, and the dishes spanned the five flavors.

Ding Liang gave Guo Yueling a meaningful glance, and she understood; it was finally time for today’s main event.

"Big sister, there’s something I haven’t told you yet. Xiao Liang has already resigned from his previous company!"

"Resigned? I heard that his previous company was not bad, why did he resign?" Ding Lijuan asked curiously.

Guo Yueling sighed, "Isn’t it all because, after hearing that Jingting became the president, some people in Han Corporation were dissatisfied with her and always caused trouble for Jingting? Xiao Liang couldn’t stand by and watch, so he thought of coming to Han Corporation to give Jingting a hand!"

"Ah? Xiao Liang, is that true?" Ding Lijuan could hardly believe it.

Ding Liang nodded his head, "That’s right. I will never forget that I grew up in my aunt’s home as a child. Sister Jingting is like a real sister to me; how could I stand by and watch someone bully my sister!"

"So, without any hesitation, I chose to resign and help my sister! My boss even offered to give me a thirty percent raise, but I didn’t entertain his offer!"

Ding Liang spoke passionately, radiating a sense of noble righteousness.

But in reality, Ding Liang was not proactive in resigning. He had been fired from his previous company after being caught taking kickbacks and falsifying accounts.

Moreover, he had been blacklisted in the industry, and now he couldn’t make it in his hometown anymore. That’s when he thought to come to Huai City to take refuge with Han Jingting.

Ding Lijuan always took Ding Liang’s word for it without doubt, and at this moment was deeply moved.

"Xiao Liang, I didn’t realize you had such deep affection for our family, your aunt really cherished you for nothing!"

Tears swirled in Ding Lijuan’s eyes.

Guo Yueling and Ding Liang exchanged a knowing smile, aware that the time was ripe.

"Big sister, since you’ve already said so, I’ll leave Xiao Liang in your care. You must arrange a good job for him at Han Corporation!" Guo Yueling said.

"Of course!"

Ding Lijuan then instructed Han Jingting, "Jingting, you heard that, didn’t you? This task is yours now, don’t let me and your aunt down!"

Han Jingting was speechless.

She knew all too well Chen Xuan’s true nature, an utterly slick and slippery person who never missed a chance to cheat and deceive.

What helping herself? He just saw that she had become the president and wanted to cling to her coattails.

It would be one thing to cling to her coattails, but he spoke with such a righteous air, as if she owed him something.

Han Jingting was quite repulsed by such shamelessness.

Despite being internally critical, she had to consider the family ties and the fact that her mother, Ding Lijuan, was involved. She couldn’t let things get too ugly.

Han Jingting put down her chopsticks and asked, "Alright then, I wonder what position Xiao Liang is interested in at our company?"

Guo Yueling replied haughtily, "With his many years of work experience, Xiao Liang is a sought-after talent wherever he goes!"

"Let’s do this, Xiao Liang’s previous job was as a purchasing manager. Just give him a position as a purchasing manager here according to the previous standard," she said casually, as though conceding a point.

Han Jingting could only laugh in exasperation. "Purchasing manager? You really do know how to choose, don’t you? There’s scarcely a cushier spot in the whole company!"

Guo Yueling’s face immediately fell. "Jingting, what do you mean by that? Xiao Liang is such an honest child, do you think he is the kind of person to fish for benefits?"

Ding Liang also quickly made his stance clear, "Sis, my mom is right. I chose this position for a reason."

"It’s because I know this position is cushy, so I thought of guarding it for you!"

"You can rest assured, as long as I am here, no one will dare to cause trouble in your company!" he declared.

Ding Lijuan was moved, "Xiao Liang is so thoughtful, he even considered this!"

Han Jingting was speechless again.

Such grandstanding could only deceive someone like Ding Lijuan.

What guarding the position for her? It was nothing but Ding Liang’s desire to land himself that plush spot and skim some cream for himself!

As a purchasing manager in any company is always incredibly important, Han Jingting naturally would not entrust such a vital position to someone unreliable like Ding Liang.

Han Jingting spoke calmly, "Ding Liang’s previous company had total assets of only over ten million. The purchasing supervisor there can’t be compared with Han Corporation at all. Besides, the position of purchasing manager is already taken."

"Just replace them then!" Guo Yueling said dismissively, waving her hand. "Such a crucial position as purchasing manager can’t be given to an outsider; of course, it would be more reliable to have Xiao Liang, our own relative, right? Big sister, don’t you agree?"

Ding Lijuan nodded hurriedly, "Your aunt is right. Since you are now the president, changing a purchasing manager is just a word from you, isn’t it?"

Han Jingting felt a headache coming on. Not only did her own mother not support her, but she was actually complicating matters for her.

"Mom, don’t you know that although I am the president, Han Corporation isn’t ruled by me alone! Aren’t you afraid that I will lose my position as president one day?"

Guo Yueling looked disdainful, "We’re just asking you to arrange for a purchasing manager, you really exaggerate. It’s a shame, despite Xiao Liang calling you ’sister’ so respectfully. In the end, we’re not biological siblings, and you still see us as outsiders."
