Lina hurried to the CEO's office, only to find Melissa sitting on the sofa.
When their eyes met, Lina was surprised for a short moment.
With her shrewdness, she knew at once that something was wrong. However, she maintained a calm expression on her face and asked said the CEO politely, “Mr. Zhao, what can I do for you?"
“Lina, here's the thing...”
The CEO nodded and glanced at Melissa. "I heard that a subordinate in your department has disrespected Ms. Su. Is this true?"
"Well..."
Lina frowned.
Although she had guessed that Melissa got her here for nothing good, she had never expected that this woman would even turn to the CEO to deal with Rosiley.
"Mr. Zhao, Rosiley did say something back to Ms. Su. But that was not disrespect. She just slipped up. I will criticize her after I come back.”
Lina pondered over the wording and smoothed over the thing that happened a few days ago casually with few words.
Eyes turning icy at her explanation, Melissa warned Lina, "Ms. Lina, think twice before you say it and don't ruin your career. Don't make mistakes yourself. Everyone saw how Rosiley disrespected her boss. Keeping such people in TEG will only corrupt the spirit of the company.”
Lina shook her head inwardly. Melissa was determined to drive Rosiley away!
But as Rosiley's supervisor, she was unable to change the decision. So she simply put on a serious expression and said in a low voice, "Ms. Su, you're exaggerating. Rosiley has always been self-disciplined and earnest in her work and is more competent than other employees. She is a rare talent. Coupled with her hard work and excellent achievements over years, I can't find a reason to chase her out of the company. *
"You..."
Not expecting that Lina would choose Rosiley's side, Melissa's expression turned cold, “Mr. Zhao, what do you think of this? I was invited to TEG to manage the company and bring the company to another peak. But the premise is that I'm respected by employees. I have only been here for a few days and my subordinate has repeatedly compromised my authority. So is the
general manager of TEG no longer respectable anymore? If that's the case, perhaps I should consider going somewhere else.”
Melissa said condescendingly and straightforwardly with a frosty look.
She regarded herself condescending here. But instead of being complimented, she was disrespected, which she would never forgive.
The Chairman curled his lips at Melissa's words.
He knew that Melissa wanted to punish Rosiley as a warning to others, but he didn't want her, an excellent manager in the industry, to leave so easily. Moreover, she had AR Gruop, and the Ji Group backing her. As for Rosiley, the CEO was in dilemma. The young lady seemed to have some unknown relationship with REG.
Neither side could be offended. He didn't know what he could do as CEO.
Frowning silently for a moment, he finally decided to leave it to others. He waved his hands and cast the problem to Lina. "Lina, you are Rosiley's boss. You should communicate with Melissa about it. No matter what, she is the general manager and Rosiley's behavior of acting against her is still inappropriate.”
Lina was at a loss for words.
Even the CEO couldn't decide at this critical moment. How could she negotiate with Melissa?
Melissa had made it clear that she wanted to expel Rosiley by her power from the very beginning. Lina's position was not as high as hers, so there was no point negotiating with her.
However, Lina was unwilling to stand watch Rosiley being fired.
Lina came from a humble root so she understood more about Rosiley's hardworking.
How could she have the heart to join hands with Melissa to suppress such a talent?
