chapter 26 I am Riley, the chief designer
The location next to Meryl Chu is for the Chief Designer.
It's still empty.
Leah Wu originally wanted to wait for others to arrive before revealing Olivia Xia's ugliness. But the Chief Assistant was not directly chosen by the Chief. What if she confronts Olivia Xia directly and the Chief thinks she's being unreasonable? Wouldn't that be a loss?
Moreover, as soon as President Meryl arrived, he started casting amorous glances at her, showing clear interest.
If President Meryl handles this for her, not only does she not have to offend the Chief, but it can also help her improve her relationship with President Meryl. Why wouldn't she do it?
Meryl Chu turned pale in fright.
Is this lady intentionally trying to torment me?
"Oh? What is it? Please go on," Alger Chu saw that Meryl Chu's expression was off, and with a smirk, he spoke first.
Sure enough, Meryl Chu glared at Alger Chu warningly.
Alger Chu thought to herself: Meryl Chu's relationship with this woman isn't simple at all! There might be a chance!
Leah Wu gratefully glanced at Alger Chu, her gaze settling on Meryl Chu. "Mr. Meryl and Mr. Alger, I have a video here. I hope you can find time to watch it. It concerns the fairness of this interview and LM's reputation."
Leah Wu's words made the several executives' faces turn serious.
Meryl Chu probably guessed what was going on and said with a serious expression, "We can watch it, but I hope you can take responsibility for your actions."
Leah Wu felt a moment of nervousness but, knowing that she had evidence, her sense of justice filled her with confidence. "Of course."
Meryl Chu's secretary quickly took Leah Wu's phone and projected the video she specified onto the large screen.
Soon, the video from the interview day appeared on the big screen.
Initially, the camera captured people entering and exiting the restroom because it was positioned near the restroom. But then, Olivia Xia emerged from the restroom.
Instead of heading towards the waiting room like everyone else, she walked in the opposite direction towards the back door of the interview room.
The video then stopped at this point, and Leah Wu looked straight at Meryl Chu. "Mr. Chu, what I want to say is that this newly selected Chief Assistant cheated during the interview. And your secretary is an accomplice."
Leah Wu pointed at Olivia Xia with one hand and at Meryl Chu's secretary with the other, her tone sharp.
Meryl Chu's secretary was now a bundle of question marks, feeling both wronged and amused.
Ignorance can be so terrifying!
Meryl Chu just covered his face and couldn't watch any longer.
He even wondered what had gone wrong with his younger brother.
With so many excellent women around, why did he have to choose Leah Wu, who seemed to lack common sense?
Even Alger Chu, who didn't know anything, was bewildered after watching the video. "This...?"
Accusing President Riley of cheating? Meryl Chu's reaction to this defamation against President Riley was what Alger Chu was most interested in.
Haha, this is truly exciting!
"Sorry... I, I'm late..."
Suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps and an anxious voice broke the tense atmosphere in the meeting room.
All eyes turned to the door.
When they saw a woman in professional attire with a flushed face, several newcomers were bewildered.
When they went to the HR department to report, there were only three people, and HR said that the Chief Assistant had been sent by the Chief to handle some tasks early in the morning and would report later.
So, they didn't know who this person was.
When Leah Wu saw Olivia Xia in the Chief Designer's office, she instinctively thought she was the mysterious Chief Assistant.
But if she was, then what about Anna Su?
LM had only recruited four people this time!
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, Olivia Xia stood up and said to Anna Su outside the door, "Come in and have a seat; we're about to start the meeting."
"Okay, alright," Anna Su, who didn't know who Olivia Xia was, nodded in bewilderment and quickly took a seat next to Olivia Xia.
Olivia Xia then walked to the empty seat on the other side of Meryl Chu, and in the midst of everyone's terrified gazes, she smiled and began, "Welcome to the LM family, I'm your Chief Designer, Riley."
"Boom..."
The four newbies felt as if they had been struck by lightning, both inside and out.
This woman was Riley, the Chief Executive?
How could that be possible?
Leah Wu was trembling and almost collapsing.
And Aria Lin, who had been mocking Olivia Xia a moment ago, widened her eyes, lost all color in her face, and became utterly dumbfounded.
Olivia Xia lazily smiled and continued, "I have always believed that as a global high-end fashion design company, LM has strict rules and regulations for talent selection and employee management. Everyone who can work at LM is truly talented."
"However, just now, Miss Wu's words gave me a significant reminder."
Olivia Xia placed her hands on the table and looked at the newbies across from her. "In recent years, as LM has grown rapidly, especially with the rapid expansion of the domestic market, recruitment has become more frequent. So, does the company strictly adhere to relevant regulations and ensure fairness every time it hires?"
Olivia Xia's gaze swept over Leah Wu and finally landed on Meryl Chu. "Mr. Chu, the domestic headquarters has been established for five years now, and over these years, the company has grown from just a few dozen people to several hundred people. You and all your colleagues deserve credit for that."
"However, what Miss Wu mentioned about cheating does indeed affect the company's reputation and further development. Therefore, Mr. Chu, I will ask you to put in extra effort during this time, conduct an internal investigation within the company, and promptly identify and resolve any issues to avoid unnecessary repercussions for the company."
Where would Meryl Chu dare to say no? These years, the company had expanded rapidly, and some minor issues had indeed arisen, especially in the recruitment of personnel. It was high time to address these internal issues.
"Yes, Riley, rest assured, I will provide an answer as soon as possible," Meryl Chu responded loudly.
Olivia Xia nodded and sat down, saying, "Once you're part of LM, we're a family. You don't need to be nervous, as long as you study diligently and work hard, the company will not mistreat any talented designer." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
After Olivia Xia briefly spoke, she handed the floor over to Meryl Chu.
Meryl Chu continued where Olivia Xia left off, asserting his authority and then adjourning the meeting.
As they left LM, Olivia Xia coincidentally ran into Emma Xia, who was waiting outside for someone.
Emma Xia's face had recovered somewhat, but the puffiness was still visible, which is why she was wearing sunglasses.
Seeing Olivia Xia coming out from inside, Emma Xia remembered what Steven Lu and her mother had told her. She approached Olivia Xia and said, "Sister, you openly came to see President Meryl. Aren't you afraid your husband will find out?"
Olivia Xia glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Emma Xia wasn't annoyed either; she covered her mouth and said, "My engagement banquet is in three days. Sister, are you going to bring President Meryl or your husband? Regardless of who you bring, both Steven and I hope to have your blessing. You must attend."
