Chapter 124: Chapter 124: The Sun Rises from the West_1

Luo Zitong had never accepted Luo Ning as the general manager.

In her opinion, Luo Ning had simply hit the jackpot by some fluke and caught the eye of that mysterious Chairman of Tian Sheng Group. If it had been her, she was certain she could have secured the contract with Tian Sheng Group as well.

Luo Xuanran obviously agreed with his sister’s view. He held his head high, his face full of disdain, "Luo Ning, you’ve only been a general manager for a few days and already you’ve got your nose in the air. If you’re allowed to keep at it, I think you’ll start disregarding Grandma as well, won’t you?"

"You want to punish me, huh? Fine, if you’ve got the guts, then go ahead and punish me! I’d like to see if the finance department dares dock my performance pay!"

What a joke. I, Luo Xuanran, am Grandma’s most beloved grandson, isn’t that common knowledge throughout Luo Group?

I just don’t believe anyone would really dare to deduct money from me!

Luo Xuanran and Luo Zitong spoke with utter confidence, a result of the long-standing indulgence by Old Lady Luo. Without her indulgence, not to speak of docking their pay, they would have been kicked out of the company long ago.

Luo Ning was just as stubborn. She took out her phone and dialed directly to the HR department, "Hello, Manager Wang, it’s me, Luo Ning."

"Do you not know about Luo Xuanran and Luo Zitong being late for work and leaving early all the time? Why haven’t you deducted their performance pay according to the company’s regulations?"

There was a squeaky sound on the other end of the phone, "President Luo, it’s not that I don’t want to punish them, it’s... I really can’t."

Everyone in the company knew that Luo Xuanran and his sister were the Chairman’s favorites. If she dared to punish them, would she still want to work at Luo Group?

Seeing Luo Ning’s face alternating between paleness and anger, Luo Xuanran smiled brightly, "Heh, they can’t punish me, right? I told you, nobody at Luo Group dares to punish me and my sister."

"Luo Ning, you’re too green!"

Seeing her mother’s humiliated expression, Mo Xiaochen stamped her feet on the ground anxiously, her two little fists flailing, "Daddy, they’re so bad. Can you not laugh and chuckle like just now?"

Laugh and chuckle?

Mo Han chuckled, then walked over to Luo Ning and whispered something in her ear. Luo Ning’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, "Wouldn’t this be a bit inappropriate, though?"

"Heh, aren’t they just relying on Grandma’s support? Then let Grandma take care of them." Mo Han said lightly with a laugh, "Grandma is a wise person; she surely won’t fall out with you over such a trifle at this critical juncture."

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, then thought that Mo Han made sense. Although the method was somewhat beneath her, for the sake of the company’s development, she still made the call.

"Hello, Grandma, it’s me, Ning’er."

"Oh, Ning’er, is there something that needs to be changed on the project?" Old Lady Luo’s tone was much gentler than usual.

Ever since the night banquet at Luo Group, when Ling Yuzhu laid it on thick, her attitude towards Luo Ning had improved significantly.

Moreover, at least judging by the current progress of the project, Luo Ning’s capabilities were indeed good; she managed the project methodically.

"Grandma, it’s not about the project, there’s something I’d like to report to you," said Luo Ning, biting her lip as she rushed through explaining the instances of Luo Xuanran and his sister being late and leaving early recently.

There was silence on the other end for a moment before Old Lady Luo’s voice came through, "I see, okay, I’ll talk to them."

Talk to them? No punishment?

Just as Mo Han had said, Grandma truly wouldn’t bother with her.

Her voice paused slightly, then she emphasized, "Grandma, the company has its regulations. If everyone behaved like they do, what would become of the company?"

"Impudent!" Old Lady Luo’s voice turned cold, "Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?"

Perhaps realizing her tone was off, she softened slightly and continued, "Ning’er, Xuan Ran and Zi Tong indeed have a bit of an idle nature, but they are part of the Luo family. We are all family here, there’s no need to be so strict with the rules."

"Alright, let’s handle it this way..."

After speaking, she was about to hang up.

Luo Xuanran and Luo Zitong, who had been watching with cold eyes, seemed to have anticipated the outcome. They wore mocking smiles, shaking their heads as if to say, "What can you do to us?"

Luo Ning took a deep breath and finally played her trump card, "Grandma! I feel that I’m not very suited for the position of general manager. Tomorrow, I will write my resignation letter and formally submit my resignation to the board!"

Having said that, she hung up the phone without a second thought.

"Tsk, tsk, impressive, you even dare to threaten Grandma?" Luo Xuanran, with arms crossed, said mockingly, "Do you think Grandma would be afraid of you?"

"Exactly!" Luo Zitong chimed in, "It’s just as well if you leave. Luo Group has no shortage of talent; it wasn’t your turn to be general manager in the first place, pah!"

On the other side of the phone, Old Lady Luo was also furious. Well done, Luo Ning, playing the old trick of retreating in order to advance, trying to force me to comply?

So full of yourself, truly not taking me, the Chairman, seriously anymore!

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Just then, Old Lady Luo’s phone rang again, with a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who’s this?"

"Old Lady Luo, this is Ling Yuzhu." The voice on the other end was firm but nervous, "I heard Luo Ning volunteered to resign, what’s going on?"

"Is Luo Group no longer interested in the East City district project?"

Hiss...

Old Lady Luo gasped in shock, quickly placating, "President Ling, where did you hear such nonsense? Ning’er is doing just fine with us at Luo Group, she never mentioned resigning. You must have heard wrong, completely wrong!"

"Heh, I sure hope I heard wrong," Ling Yuzhu said coldly. "Old Lady Luo, I would rather not hear such rumors again, understand?"

"Understood! Completely understood!"

After the line went dead, Old Lady Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She shook her head, knowing she couldn’t touch Luo Ning this time.

Thinking quickly, she called the HR department in a hurry, "Hello, Xiao Wang! What’s with your work?"

"Why haven’t you reported Luo Xuanran and Luo Zitong being late and leaving early? Why haven’t you docked their performance according to company policy? How on earth are you supervising company staff? Do you not want to work here anymore?"

Manager Wang from HR was utterly baffled.

Old Lady Luo, I never reported to you? But that’s a blatant lie! The last time during reporting, it was you who personally said that Xuan Ran and Zi Tong were good kids, just a bit playful at times, and not to take it so seriously. Why are you now accusing me of poor staff supervision?
