"Why are you here again?"
No matter what, she knew her identity as the boss's son, and as a subordinate, shouldn't he be flattering her?
She felt this Lu Jiaying wasn't good at dealing with people.
Jiang Jingyu said truthfully, "I really don't want to come, but you know how my dad is."
Lu Jiaying typed furiously on the keyboard, talking to him as she typed.
"Indeed. If it weren't for your dad, your performance wouldn't even pass the first round of interviews."
"..."
"Since he insists on you coming, and I have to accept you, I'll give you another chance. But we need to set the rules in advance."
Jiang Jingyu listened, didn't answer, and waited for her to continue.
After a two-second pause, she stopped and looked at him seriously.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Wasn't he listening with both ears? Did he have to nod and thank her like a primary school student?
Jiang Jingyu rolled his eyes internally but said, "I heard you, Ms. Lu."
"Close the office door, and walk two steps forward."
Jiang Jingyu did as he was told. Lu Jiaying leaned back in her chair and spun slowly.
"The rules are as follows: First, I am your direct supervisor and your only supervisor. You must obey me absolutely."
"Second, you must be in good condition and have a good mental outlook during work. Especially since we are in marketing, facing clients and various clients every day, you must be happy. If you really can't smile, then don't come."
"Third, this job requires irregular overtime or business trips, which you must accept unconditionally."
"Fourth, you were absent without leave yesterday afternoon and an hour late this morning. Submit a leave request form to me later, and the lost time will be deducted from your salary. If you have anything in the future, request leave in advance. If you are absent without leave or late again without my permission, this internship will not be converted to a permanent position."
"You don't want your parents to question your abilities, right?"
Although her words were unpleasant and ruthless, they were all true.
Jiang Jingyu accepted, "Understood, Ms. Lu."
"Take your computer and temporarily work at the desk near me. Re-submit the meeting minutes from yesterday."
Compiling the meeting minutes wasn't difficult, but the problem was that he hadn't listened carefully to yesterday's meeting, and since so much time had passed, he had forgotten the data.
After speaking, seeing that Jiang Jingyu didn't react, Lu Jiaying knew he couldn't do it and raised her eyebrows.
"What? You just agreed and now you can't do it?"
"No, Ms. Lu, it's just that yesterday's data..."
"Are you my assistant or am I your assistant? If you don't have the data, go get it from someone."
He didn't even know who spoke yesterday, or where, and couldn't find anyone.
But he definitely couldn't ask any more questions, or she would mock him again.
Although she wasn't much older and they knew each other privately, she spoke so ruthlessly. Jiang Jingyu really couldn't stand her.
The ladies outside were much better. He plugged in the computer, went out, and after some inquiries, found the deputy general manager of the production department.
He went directly to his office but was stopped by his assistant at the door.
"Do you have an appointment? You can't go in without an appointment."
Jiang Jingyu stated his identity, the assistant to the head of the marketing department, here to get documents.
The assistant made a phone call to the deputy general manager: "I'm sorry, our deputy general manager said that your Ms. Lu hasn't spoken to him. If you really need it, have Ms. Lu call him first."
It was Lu Jiaying again. Was it impossible to get things done without going through her?
Jiang Jingyu absolutely didn't want to hear her taunts and wouldn't go to her.
But on his own...
He came up with a good idea.
After a lot of fiddling on the computer, the meeting minutes were ready an hour later.
"Ms. Lu, I'll send it to your email."
"There's a temporary problem with the company's internal network. The technical department is working on an emergency repair, so you'll have to send it later."
Lu Jiaying's expression was serious.
"A hacker has infiltrated our company's security system. If they can't be identified, we'll have to report it to the police."
Jiang Jingyu was stunned. He had only accessed a short video clip and then backed out, erasing all traces. How could the technical department have detected it?
The technical department definitely wouldn't be able to find him.
His hacking skills were already very, very high.
Then they would definitely report it to the police. This was a big problem!
Jiang Jingyu felt a little guilty.
"Is that so? I know a little bit about programming. Do you need me to help them?"
Lu Jiaying knew that Zhan Beijue and his children were all experts in this field. Sometimes, when technical problems arose that the technicians couldn't solve, Zhan Beijue would personally step in.
Jiang Jingyu's comment, which sounded like he was trying too hard to prove his innocence, reminded her.
She gave him a meaningful look, then called the head of the technical department.
"It was Mr. Zhan himself who conducted the test just now, testing the security of the company's firewall. It seems we need to strengthen it. You all need to work harder."
Then she threw her phone onto the desk.
"Do you know you almost caused a huge disaster?"
Jiang Jingyu knew, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lu."
Lu Jiaying continued relentlessly, "Sorry again. Why do you say sorry so much?"
"Do you think you're a three-year-old child who can be willful, and everyone has to cooperate unconditionally? I know you're exceptionally talented and very smart, but there's no need to show off like this, is there? Hacking into your own company."
Jiang Jingyu was in the wrong, so he couldn't argue with her.
"I didn't intend to hack it. I forgot some data during the meeting yesterday, so I just went to the meeting room to retrieve a surveillance video."
Lu Jiaying was even more speechless.
"If you forgot, you should have told me. I could have sent you the materials. We're so close, why did you have to hack the firewall?"
"..."
As a leader, everything they say is right.
At that time, they had clearly told her, and she had rejected it herself, but now she was speaking better than singing.
But with things as they were, what was the point of winning an argument?
Jiang Jingyu apologized again, "It won't happen again, I promise."
It was said that accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. He didn't feel this way even when he was by Zhan Beijue's side, but he felt it when he was with Lu Jiaying.
Sitting in the same office with her, looking at her gloomy face, he felt extremely oppressed.
After finally getting through the morning, he had lunch with the customer service ladies outside, and they invited him to rest at their workstations outside during lunch.
They could sit together, chat, and relax.
But as soon as he returned to the marketing department, Lu Jiaying called him to a halt.
"Jiang Jingyu, come out with me."
The customer service ladies immediately lamented for him.
"Ah? Just after eating, and you're asking him to go out during his lunch break? She's too inhuman!"
"Exactly. You just started working. Yesterday you were asked to collect data, and today you're working overtime during public time. Is it because she thinks you're easy to bully and is deliberately targeting you?"
