Chapter 463: [463] That young person definitely has an extraordinary background_1
“Huang Mingxia, do you hear the people’s cries? It’s clear how arrogant and overbearing you usually act at the company,” Huang Mingxia heard the collective disapproval, and only then did she turn to face Huang Mingxia.
By this point, Qian Xu and everyone else had nearly said their piece, and he turned to look at Huang Mingxia.
Knowing that it was no use making excuses now, Huang Mingxia hurriedly admitted her mistakes, “Mr. Qian, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance; I will definitely correct my faults.”
“What’s the use of apologizing to me?” Qian Xu was not appeased.
In a panic, Huang Mingxia bowed and apologized to her colleagues, “I’m really sorry, everyone. It’s my fault for not doing well. I hope you all can give me a chance to correct my mistakes. I will definitely make amends…”
Seeing her pathetic state, her colleagues all revealed looks of satisfaction.
So, you finally got what was coming to you?
Afterward, Huang Mingxia turned her gaze to Jiang Zi.
It was clear that Qian Xu was targeting her just to stand up for Jiang Zi.
Although she didn’t know why Qian Xu wanted to ingratiate himself with Jiang Zi, her attitude was obviously key.
“Jiang Zi, I’m truly sorry for what I did before. Can’t you forgive me this one time? I will definitely correct my behavior from now on, I’m begging you. I’m a single mother, and my child just started kindergarten. If I lose my job now, I won’t be able to survive…”
The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, until she was sobbing.

Jiang Zi became hesitant after such a plea.
Thinking about Huang Mingxia raising a child on her own was tough, and Jiang Zi found it difficult to be the reason behind her losing her job.
Seeing Jiang Zi’s hesitation, Huang Mingxia couldn’t help but sneer inwardly; she was just too naive.
Once this passes, I’ll take my time dealing with you.
Jiang Zi was about to intercede on her behalf when she suddenly noticed a trace of malice flickering in Huang Mingxia’s eyes and quickly became alert.
After all, she had worked under Huang Mingxia for two years and was all too familiar with this woman’s tactics.
She was very good at playing the victim when at a disadvantage.
But once she had the upper hand, she was incredibly ruthless and left no room for mercy in her actions.
If she did not completely deal with her today, Huang Mingxia would certainly cause endless trouble in the future.
With this thought, any sympathy she felt evaporated.
“Apologizing to me won’t help. I follow Mr. Qian’s lead. I trust Mr. Qian will handle things fairly and satisfy everyone,” Jiang Zi said.
She might say she’s not taking a position, but her meaning couldn’t be clearer.
What does she mean by satisfying “everyone”? With so many people present, all but Huang Mingxia herself wished to see her downfall—that was the public opinion.
Qian Xu immediately understood and looked sternly at Huang Mingxia, “Go to finance and settle your accounts. You need not come in tomorrow.”
Huang Mingxia’s face changed dramatically.
She had clearly seen Jiang Zi soften earlier and didn’t understand why she suddenly changed her mind.
“Mr. Qian, you can’t fire me. I’m the company’s top performer, with many clients. Without me, the company would surely suffer greatly…”
Upon hearing her words, Qian Xu sneered, “Huang Mingxia, they just said you were arrogant, and I didn’t quite believe it. Now after hearing you speak, you really are insufferably arrogant. Do you think the company will go out of business without you? That the earth won’t turn? You think too highly of yourself.”
“Mr. Qian, that’s not what I meant, what I meant was…”
“I don’t care what you meant. Get out right now. If you don’t leave immediately, I’ll have security throw you out.”
Qian Xu’s face was stern, not giving her any chance to explain.
Huang Mingxia knew she had no chance of turning things around and didn’t beg any further.
Instead, she turned and sneered at Jiang Zi, “Ha, you won. Are you satisfied now?”
Jiang Zi, expressionless, just gave her a cursory glance, “You brought this on yourself; don’t blame me.”
A sneer appeared on Huang Mingxia’s face, “Don’t get too proud too soon. They could kick me out today, but once you’re no longer useful to them, your end will be worse than mine. I’d like to see how long you can stay smug.”
After that, she turned to go to her office to pack up her things.
Qian Xu didn’t look at her again and quickly stepped over to Jiang Zi, “Mr. Jiang, you weren’t hurt just now, were you?”
Jiang Zi shook her head, “Thanks for your concern, Mr. Qian. I’m fine.”
Only then did Qian Xu breathe a sigh of relief, “Mr. Jiang, I’ve fired Huang Mingxia, and in doing so have avenged you. If Mr. Tang asks about today’s incident, I hope you’ll put in a good word for me and prevent any misunderstanding.”
Only then did Jiang Zi understand.
The reason Qian Xu dismissively fired Huang Mingxia was not to stand for justice but to impress Tang Feng.
Then she remembered Huang Mingxia’s parting words, “When you’re no longer of use to them, your end will be worse than mine.”
Could her only value to Qian Xu be Tang Feng?
Without Tang Feng, is she really just a pretty face?
Despite feeling a touch of sorrow, she nevertheless nodded with a smile, “Rest assured, Mr. Qian. I will certainly clarify things for you.”
“That’s good, that’s good. Anyway, since Huang Mingxia is leaving, you can move into her office. It’s the best one in the company, even better than the CEO’s…”
Qian Xu said two more almost ingratiating things and then reluctantly left.
Jiang Zi could not help but snicker helplessly and went back to her office with Mi Yue.
After they all left, the colleagues immediately burst into discussion.
“My God, Huang Mingxia was actually taken down by Jiang Zi? Today has really opened my eyes.”
“Yeah, Jiang Zi just became a manager, and she’s toppled her old boss, which is really impressive.”
“Did you see how subservient Mr. Qian was to her? He was like a complete lackey.”
“How strong of a backer must Jiang Zi have to get such favor from Mr. Qian?”
“Do you think her backer might be that young man who left earlier?”
“Impossible, right? He’s too young, what kind of power could he have?”
“That’s where you’re clueless, who knows? Maybe he’s the super-rich second generation of some big family?”
“I do think it has something to do with that young man. As soon as he left, Jiang Zi gained five billion in business, and Mr. Qian was so attentive to her. That young man must be no ordinary person.”
“Indeed, it’s not what you can do, it’s who you know.”
“What do you mean by ‘who you know’?”
“Heh, you know…”
