Chapter 155: A beautiful counterattack
In the meeting room.
The staff had almost arrived and the department head had arrived late with Serena.
When Serena walked in with the head of the department, everyone could not help but look at her from head to toe. After a couple of glances, all the high-level officials knew Serena.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
When everyone returned to the company, they knew what had happened between Serena and Cristian.
Moreover, they had seen them many times at their meetings. Although they were really surprised by the president at first, not everyone was blind. How could those high-level officials fail to understand a person’s emotional ups and downs?
Just like the last time Matteo Giordano had come for a collaborative project, anyone who was not blind could see Cristian’s attitude toward Serena.
It was just that… He could care about her but he found her annoying.
Otherwise, how could she have managed to demote herself so demeaningly to the bottom of the company?
The head of the department was a man in his forties, thin, with a long face and eyes and a somewhat pointed mouth. He still looked very kind with his glasses, but he did not have a good complexion.
“Tommaso, you are late! Don’t you know that the president doesn’t like latecomers? ”
Reminded by someone, Tommaso’s look changed, and he replied, “It’s not that I wanted to be late but I still hadn’t been able to complete the paperwork for today’s meeting!”
Hearing this, everyone became angry.
“What happened? Didn’t I tell you to fix the documents yesterday? And why to this day are they not settled? When did you fix them?”
“Yes, the documents from our department were sent yesterday. What’s wrong with you?”
Tommaso choked, then looked toward the man in front of him. He had an indifferent look and and exuded a dark aura. It was Cristian Ferrari. He took Serena with him.
“Colleagues, the documents have been ruined by her.”
Ah? Was it her fault again? They were all puzzled and looked at Serena as she was pushed out.
Cristian had no expression on his face, but his cold eyes passed over the hand of the supervisor clutching Serena’s thin arm.
Her skin was fair and she was wearing a long sleeveless dress. When she was dragged out by her supervisor, a red mark appeared on her arm.
Knowing she had thin skin and tender flesh, she did not know how to cover it.
“She just arrived in our department. I wanted to see if she was capable. Who knew she would apply to attend this meeting. She seemed very confident and I let her do it. I never thought she would not prepare them well. Mr. Ferrari, I’m sorry, I’m not very good at discipline!”
He had always blamed it to Serena, but when he said this, he sounded very hypocritical.
After he stopped talking, no one responded and the other high-level officials did not know how to react and could not understand what the CEO wanted to say. No one spoke.
Serena was also calm. She held her bag in her hand and her face was expressionless.
She seemed unconcerned about the situation in front of her.
“You are really not good at discipline.” Suddenly a gentle but stern voice rang out.
A man in a white shirt stood up with his calm gaze falling on Tommaso’s face.
Tommaso suddenly felt pressured and unconsciously pressed his own waist, “Vice President Leonardo.”
Leonardo’s voice was firm, “You also said she is a newcomer, but the documents for this project are very important. You will obviously know that these are for the meeting. Even if you want to see her capabilities, if you have to look for replacements you have to be prepared. You cannot give a task to a new person. By doing that you not only fail to set an example, but you can also mess up. Tommaso, do you think nothing can happen to you by sitting there?”
What he said was true. It made Tommaso’s face pale and he quickly realized what he had done. He looked at Leonardo’s eyes with some terror, but then looked at the man at the head of the table even more intensely who nevertheless seemed not to care what was happening.
So Tommaso regained some courage and continued, “What the vice president said was that I didn’t think it through, but this time…”
“How?” Are you going to shirk your responsibility this time? ”
Tommaso lowered his head, “No, I would never do that!”
“What about the documents?” Suddenly, a voice with an endless chill rang out, shocking the high-level employee who were watching the show, and he hurriedly straightened his back and sat upright.
Cristian’s eyes fell on Serena’s beautiful face, and his tone was not good: “You are first day of downgrade and you have no initiative. You have caused a big problem. How are you going to fix it?”
Hearing this, Serena, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Cristian.
Compared to previous days, Cristian’s eyes were much colder than usual. Looking at him, she felt as if she were in an ice cave.
Serena knew those words hurt her. She did not beg him to forgive her, but… she wanted to find a way to explain.
The two stared at each other for a long time in the air before Serena said, “I showed initiative….
Cristian’s expression was cold and he stared at her without saying a word.
Serena continued, “I didn’t cause any trouble either.”
Everyone did not know what she meant. At that moment, Serena put her bag down on the table, then turned her palm over. A small and exquisite USB flash drive lay in her palm.
“I sorted out the information, but that computer was too old and suddenly shut down,” she said.
“Fortunately, I have a habit of saving to flash drive.”
Serena showed the flash drive for everyone to see, then stepped forward, inserted it into the interface, and then began to play it back so everyone could look at it.
“This is what I compiled. Please give me some time and I will print them out and send them to you.”
They: “…”
What? The documents you mentioned have not been arranged? What is going on here?
After Tommaso, who pushed Serena out, saw the documents arranged. He changed his expression and approached Serena, “Why didn’t you say you have a backup? It was to make me look like a fool. ”
Serena replied indifferently, “You didn’t ask me.”
Tommaso: “…”
“You only asked me to come to the office with you, and you didn’t say what the reason was. Since I came into the office, I never had the opportunity to explain myself.” Said Serena again, blinking weakly and innocently.
Tommaso was angry.
The other senior officials saw the look on Tommaso’s face, which was speechless. Standing behind Cristian was Luca, who could not hold back his excitement and clapped for Serena.
Good!
A beautiful counterattack!
It showed Tommaso’s real face!
Obviously Serena knew those people were waiting to see her being ridiculed, and Cristian wanted the same thing.
But she would not allow it!
Serena was not a person to be cheated by others, even if she was bullied after her return, she still knew how to fight back!
