Chapter 495 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (21)
Mu Ruxin watched Mu Zhou go upstairs with a radiant smile, and angrily punched her pillow a few times.
The thought of having to go to work tomorrow and not being able to go to parties with her friends made her feel even more depressed.
However, she wasn't afraid of going to work.
Since it's her own company, no one dares to make things difficult for her.
I just don't know which department I'll be in.
Grandpa directly gave Mu Zhou the position of planning manager; I wonder what he will do with her.
She studied abroad and returned home; she's also her grandfather's only granddaughter. She should at least be a nominal vice president of a group.
If you think she's too young, you can have her be your father's or grandfather's secretary.
But to Mu Ruxin's surprise, the next day when she arrived at the company, the HR department took her directly to the marketing department.
"What did you say? You want me to be a salesman here?!"
Mu Ruxin stared at the HR in disbelief.
"Do you even know who I am? Why did you put me here?"
The salesperson is exhausted and frustrated, and always has to work overtime. Are they crazy to put her here?
Faced with the aggressive Mu Ruxin, the HR representative put on a fawning smile:
"Ms. Mu, this was personally requested by the chairman. This is your supervisor, and this is your employee badge. You can communicate with Supervisor Yin about anything in the future."
After saying that, the HR person disappeared without a trace.
The supervisor she mentioned, Manager Yin, didn't take Mu Ruxin seriously at all; his attitude was no different from how he treated ordinary employees.
This is why Mu Xingbang assigned Mu Ruxin to his subordinates.
But Mu Ruxin couldn't accept it, and she stormed off to the chairman's office.
The secretaries at the door couldn't stop them either.
She pushed the door open abruptly and saw Mu Xingbang sitting behind his desk, with Mu Zhou standing beside him, bowing slightly. The two seemed to be discussing something, and the scene was harmonious and loving, like a father and son.
This undoubtedly ignited the fire in her heart.
Her appearance caused both of them to look up at the same time.
Mu Xingbang naturally knew why she looked like this, so his face darkened the moment he saw her.
Mu Zhou pretended not to notice anything, put the document away, and said to Mu Xingbang:
"I've revised the plan according to your instructions and sent it directly to the client."
"Okay, you can fix it as you see fit. I trust you with your work."
Mu Xingbang looked at Mu Zhou with great satisfaction.
Some even felt it was a pity that Mu Zhou was a girl; if she were a boy…
Mu Xingbang had many of the worst traits of men, such as insisting that his son inherit the family business.
This is why, despite Mu Jin's repeated foolish mistakes, he still chose to be tolerant and forgiving.
Heaven only granted him this one son, and he had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant refusing to admit it.
Mu Zhou saw the regret in his eyes, sneered inwardly, but showed no emotion on his face.
As she passed by Mu Ruxin, who was on the verge of losing control in anger, she smiled and greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Ruxin has also come to work."
Unexpectedly, Mu Ruxin was ignited by her smile:
"Stop pretending to be a good person! Was it you who whispered in Grandpa's ear and got me transferred to the marketing department? You're so vicious!"
He was about to strike when he raised his hand high, the force of which looked as if he wanted to knock Mu Zhou to the ground.
If Mu Zhou wanted to play the victim, this would certainly be a good opportunity.
He took a slap and fell to the ground, which successfully damaged Mu Ruxin's image in Mu Xingbang's mind, while making him feel more affection and guilt towards her.
looks great.
But there's no need for that.
Mu Ruxin is Mu Xingbang's only granddaughter. Even if he really slapped her, what difference would it make?
Fight back? That's definitely impossible.
At most, they would provide some financial assistance.
For Mu Ruxin, it was nothing more than a tickle.
Not worth the candle.
So Mu Zhou didn't take the opportunity to fall down, but instead grabbed her raised wrist.
Mu Ruxin had already used all her strength in that slap, and when Mu Zhou stopped her halfway through, she swayed.
With Mu Zhou applying a little more force, Mu Ruxin fell directly to the ground.
With a loud bang, Mu Ruxin crashed into the ground, completely stunned.
After realizing what had happened, she couldn't help but cry out:
"You vile woman, how dare you hit me and push me down! Are you trying to murder me?!"
She used the wall for support to get up, still wanting to fight Mu Zhou, and also to complain:
"Grandpa, look at her, she hit me!"
Unexpectedly, this time Mu Zhou didn't need to lift a finger. Mu Xingbang stood directly in front of her, grabbed her arm that was swinging at Mu Zhou, and slapped her hard across the face.
The world seemed to fall silent instantly.
Mu Ruxin covered her face, staring blankly at Mu Xingbang, before finally finding her voice after a long while:
"grandfather……"
Grandpa actually hit her?
For Mu Zhou?!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Mu Xingbang, however, had a gloomy face:
"Mu Ruxin, do you even respect me as your grandfather? You dare to hit your own aunt right in front of me and then twist the truth! Did you even take my words to heart?"
This was the first time Mu Ruxin had been yelled at like that by Mu Xingbang, and she was startled.
After realizing what had happened, he was both angry and furious, and turned to run away.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xingbang then added:
“If you run away from the company today and don’t show up for work as usual, then get out of the Mu family immediately. You are not allowed to touch a single penny of the Mu family’s money from now on.”
The grandfather and grandson were instantly locked in a stalemate.
Despite Mu Xingbang's furious outburst, which seemed to be his way of standing up for her, Mu Zhou wasn't particularly moved.
She knew that Mu Xingbang was so angry mainly because his authority had been challenged.
He had already clearly warned Mu Ruxin to respect her as her aunt.
Not only did she ignore him, she also attacked him in front of him and framed him, showing absolutely no respect for him.
He certainly couldn't handle it lightly.
Within the Mu family, Mu Xingbang's words carry absolute authority.
Mu Ruxin naturally understood as well.
So after only a dozen seconds of confrontation, she gave in, calling out "Grandpa" in a wronged tone. Seeing that Mu Xingbang still had a dark expression, she could only say:
"I know, Grandpa."
Mu Xingbang's expression softened slightly, and he continued:
“I was the one who assigned you to the marketing department. I put you there to gain experience and for your own good. Your aunt wasn’t involved in this at all; she didn’t even know about it. Apologize to her.”
Mu Ruxin nearly ground her teeth to powder, but in front of Mu Xingbang, she could only apologize to Mu Zhou:
"I'm sorry, Auntie."
Mu Zhou was embarrassed and at a loss for words, and could only look at Mu Xingbang and say:
"Actually, this is also my fault."
"What does this have to do with you? If you're not going to stop her, are you just going to let her slap you?"
Mu Xingbang immediately retorted.
Fortunately, he witnessed the whole thing, otherwise he doesn't know how Mu Ruxin would have twisted the truth.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Mu Ruxin felt even more distressed.
Grandpa sided with that outsider and stopped caring about her.
But the thought that Mu Zhou could be directly promoted to manager while she could only remain a lowly salesperson still made her feel resentful. Her eyes darted around...
"Grandpa, how about changing to another job? Being a salesperson is very tiring, and I've heard it involves drinking with clients. How can you not feel at ease with that?"
Mu Xingbang had naturally thought of this as well.
"Manager Yin wouldn't make his female subordinates drink with him; he knows his limits."
Having heard Mu Xingbang's words, she had no excuse and could only cover her face and leave the office.
Mu Zhou watched the grand spectacle come to an end and then left.
