After entering the office, Christina received a message from Gina saying that she had already told Team B about her and that she could directly go to their office.
Team B’s office was not inferior to Team A’s in terms of grandeur.
For the past few years, Yosef had been managing Team B, so the results they achieved were on par with Team A’s. However, since Yosef had been transferred overseas, Team B seemed to be in bad shape.
It was working hours, but the employees in the office did not seem to have any intention to work. Instead, they had gathered together and were chatting among themselves.
Christina had just entered the office when someone gave her a stack of documents. “You must be the office’s new assistant, right? Hurry and separate these documents. We’ll need it for the meeting later.”
Christina’s expression turned grim as she held onto the heavy stack of documents. Are they treating me as the office’s assistant?
“I’m not-”
op dawdling and quickly finish what I’ve asked you to. Once you’ve organized the documents, the pantry and make twelve cups of coffee.”
Christina tried to explain, but the woman could not be bothered. She pushed Christina into the conference room and left.
Staring at the documents in her hands, Christina breathed a heavy sigh and did as she was asked. She separated the documents and arranged them neatly on the table before exiting the conference room.
The group of employees had not dispersed. Their gazes were locked onto the glass door of the office entrance as they continued gossiping.
“I heard the higher-ups are sending an employee from Team A to become our group leader.”
“Is there no one else in Radiant Corporation they can send? How could they simply arrange a designer to become our group leader?”
“I heard she got the position through connections. She’s somehow related to the big boss,” someone whispered.
The deputy leader of the team, Caroline Zucker, was the most unsatisfied with that decision. She had thought she would be promoted to group leader after Yosef left.
Now that the higher-ups had transferred someone with zero experience to take control of the team, she could not help but feel annoyed.
Caroline’s gaze
fell onto Christina, and an indescribable feeling flashed across her eyes. The woman before Caroline oddly made her feel pressured. “Hey, newbie! What are you doing standing around? Have you made the coffee?”
Christina flashed a faint smile. She exuded a gentle yet intimidating aura as she said, “The meeting is about to start. I don’t think there’s enough time for me to make you coffee.”
A newly arrived assistant wants to sit in on the meeting?
Just then, the HR department sent the news of Christina’s official appointment to Team B’s group chat. Everyone lowered their heads to look at their phones and felt their hearts sink when they read the
announcement.
They turned to look at the woman before them and gaped in disbelief as they compared her to the professional photo on their phones. She had the same high ponytail and slender figure, but she looked slightly different from the image because she was bare-faced.
“You’re the newly appointed group leader for Team B” Caroline asked, shocked.
Christina was silent as she nodded calmly.
The other employees looked as though they had taken a slap to their faces, feeling their checks heating. up and reddening in embarrassment. They were displeased with the higher-ups’ decision, but they did not dare to make any other comments. After all, not only had they voiced their opinions out loud, but they had also said them in front of the person in question.
A new broom sweeps clean. They feared Christina would make an example to the other employees by punishing them.
Caroline was red with anger as she probed further, “Why didn’t you say that you were the new group leader earlier? Why did you pretend to be our assistant?”
“I did try to tell you, but none of you bothered to listen to me.” The group of employees had been busy gossiping. They did not even bother to pay her any attention.
Christina did not pursue the matter any longer. “All right, all group leader-level employees, please come in for the meeting.”
