Chapter 228: Chapter 228: This is What You Call Kin

Han Jingting was utterly frustrated.

It was bad enough that she had to accompany someone to dinner right after getting divorced, but now they were also standing on the moral high ground of familial relations to criticize her, causing Han Jingting to completely lose her patience.

"I never meant that, but if you insist on thinking so, there’s nothing I can do."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!"

Han Jingting had always been proud, too indifferent to care about Guo Yueling’s feelings, she stood up and was ready to leave.

Guo Yueling suddenly became anxious.

She had only said those things to pressure Han Jingting, hoping to make her yield, but she hadn’t anticipated that her forcefulness would drive the other to leave the table.

Ding Liang hurriedly stood up to block the way, "Sister, my mom is old and doesn’t speak well, I beg you not to take offense."

"How about this, if you think the purchasing manager position is too challenging, I could make do with the position of purchasing supervisor. Would that be acceptable?"

Han Jingting couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

She thought the entire Ding family had some nerve.

Purchasing supervisor? Settling for it?

Given Ding Liang’s education and experience, to be honest, he wasn’t even qualified to be an ordinary employee in the purchasing department of Han Corporation, and yet he had the gall to talk about settling!

That was taking himself far too seriously!

"Sorry, but that’s probably not going to..."

Before Han Jingting could fully reject the idea, Ding Lijuan interjected, "Alright, Xiao Liang will start as the purchasing supervisor at Han Corporation tomorrow, that’s settled!"

Han Jingting looked at Ding Lijuan incredulously, "Mom, what are you talking about? How can that be settled so simply?"

Ding Lijuan’s face turned ugly, "Why can’t it be settled? Xiao Liang quit his own job to help you out! What does it mean to be family? This is what family does!"

"But look at yourself, you hem and haw when asked to find Xiao Liang a job—it’s utterly ungrateful!"

Han Bowwen chimed in from the side, "Lijuan, how can you speak to Jingting like that? She has her own difficulties..."

Yet before Han Bowwen could finish, Ding Lijuan cut him off fiercely, "What difficulties? Who asked for your opinion? So, the relatives from the Han family count, but those from the Ding family don’t?"

"Jingting, I don’t care, Xiao Liang must become the purchasing supervisor. You have to make this happen, or else... you can forget about having me as your mother!"

Ding Lijuan threatened with a cold face.

Han Jingting was extremely disappointed.

Her own mother, in order to help Ding Liang, was threatening to sever their mother-daughter relationship. Could it be that their bond was less important than Ding Liang’s unreasonable demand?

"Fine, I agree!" Han Jingting had no choice but to nod in agreement reluctantly.

"Really?" Ding Liang was overjoyed. "Sis, you’re the best! I knew it, you’re still the closest to me!"

Han Jingting gave a cold laugh, "Do I have any other choice?"

Han Jingting’s tone was filled with annoyance, but Ding Liang didn’t care at all.

Being obedient was just a façade, and kinship merely a tool for him; as long as he could achieve his goals, he didn’t care what means he had to use!

The next morning, Han Jingting brought Ding Liang to the purchasing department of Han Corporation.

"Ding Liang, let me introduce you. This is our purchasing department’s director, Duan Yongyan. Director Duan, this is the new purchasing supervisor of our department. I hope you can cooperate with each other in the future."

Duan Yongyan was obviously displeased with the sudden appointment of Ding Liang as the purchasing manager, but this was Han Jingting’s decision, and he naturally didn’t dare to go against it.

"I understand, President Han."

Ding Liang also spoke with a beaming smile, "Don’t worry, sis, I’ll do my best!"

This "sis" from Ding Liang was obviously deliberate.

Han Jingting’s expression turned icy, "This is the company, just call me President Han!"

Ding Liang feigned realization, "Alright, from now on, at the company, I’ll call you President Han, and I’ll call you ’sister’ back home!"

Han Jingting was at a loss for words, imparted a few instructions, then left directly.

Duan Yongyan, however, was internally scoffing.

It was no wonder that Ding Liang had been arranged to join without informing him first—it turned out he was a nepotism hire!

Despite being discontented inside, Duan Yongyan could only tolerate it.

After that, Duan Yongyan took Ding Liang to meet the other managers of the procurement department, then immediately left.

Within just half a day, the news that the procurement department’s new manager was President Han Jingting’s cousin had spread throughout the entire Han Corporation.

As for these rumors, Ding Liang didn’t take them to heart. On the contrary, he felt that this might actually be a good thing.

With the ’Imperial Sword’ of being the President’s cousin, who in the entire Han Corporation would dare to oppose him?

In the afternoon, Ding Liang called the other managers of the procurement department to his office for a meeting.

Ding Liang got straight to the point, "There’s some news to inform you about. From tomorrow on, all work in the procurement department will be reported directly to me,"

The managers looked at each other.

One manager sneered, "Ding Liang, if I’m not mistaken, your position is the same as ours, just a department manager. Plus, you’ve only just arrived today."

"In terms of position, in terms of seniority, you can’t compare to us, yet you want us to report our work to you—don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate?"

The other managers nodded in agreement, feeling that Ding Liang, a newbie, was trying to lord over them, apparently not knowing his own weight.

But, just as that manager finished speaking.

Slap!

Ding Liang raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

The slap stunned everyone.

The manager was utterly dumbfounded, having never dreamed that Ding Liang would dare to lay a hand on him.

"Rules? The President is my own sister—what the hell are you talking to me about rules?"

"Let me tell you the truth, my sister arranged for me to be in the procurement department to supervise you all! And the director position, sooner or later, will also be mine!"

"You, a mere employee, dare to talk back to me—have you forgotten your own status?"

At this moment, Ding Liang’s expression was sinister, a stark contrast to his usually compliant demeanor.

The several managers were so frightened by Ding Liang’s manner that they didn’t dare to utter a word.

Ding Liang continued, "From now on, you’ll all listen to me. Do your jobs well, and if anyone dares to cross me, I’ll have my sister kick them out of Han Corporation immediately. Do you all understand?"

The managers exchanged glances, and finally nodded, "Understood..."

Seeing the managers as docile as quails put Ding Liang in a very satisfied mood.

Han Jingting, oh Han Jingting, you think I don’t deserve the position of procurement manager, huh?

Well then, now I’ll just use my own abilities to climb to that seat and see what you, you wretched woman, have to say then!

Ding Liang’s nature was already perverse, and he had never treated Han Jingting as a sister, just as he had never regarded his aunt Ding Lijuan the same!

In Ding Liang’s eyes, they were merely tools to be used.

His coming to Han Corporation was with ambition.

Even if he couldn’t become an executive at Han Corporation, at the very least, he would secure a huge benefit for himself to justify his visit!
