Chapter 167: Humiliation

During the meeting, Ning Yu looked dashing suited up. He even made sure to shave his beard off.

When Ning Yu first came to Ning Chen’s company, he did not care much about what he wanted in his position. He was very clear that he came to Ning Chen’s company to cause trouble, but not to work.

But being in this environment, it was natural for him wanting to advance. If Ning Yu became a manager, then he would have more power and more opportunities to get in touch with the core management of Ning Chen’s company.

This time, the position of manager belonged to him.

In the appointment meeting, Ning Yu sat upright with a cold temperament. His face was tense, and his eyes were as sharp and steady as those of a real business elite.

However, in reality, the storm had already begun to stir in his heart.

He thought about how he would control his expression when he was appointed later. He could not laugh too loudly and must be calm. It would be best if he was a little surprised to show that he was not that interested in this position, it was all because of his outstanding work ability that he was able to obtain the high position in just a few months..

Ning Yu was still rehearsing all of this in his heart until the person who had given him the notice of appointment spoke.

“… Everyone, let us welcome the new head of department — Jason!”

Applause rang out. A man in a suit entered. He was tall and had a pair of deep-looking eyes. He seemed to be of mixed descent and when he spoke, his voice was deep and magnetic. “Hello, everyone. I’m Jason. I’ll be working with you in the future. I hope we’ll get along well.”

Jason? ? ?

Who was he?

Why was he the new manager?

Ning Yu, who had already prepared a reserved smile, sat stiffly in his seat. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Jason in astonishment.

“This is the deputy manager, Mr. Ning Yu. You can discuss subsequent work arrangements with him,” the secretary introduced Ning Yu to Jason with a smile.

Jason walked up to Ning Yu and politely extended his hand. “Hello, Mr. Ning.”

Ning Yu took a long time to react. He stood up from his seat in a daze and looked at Jason’s extended hand. He knew that at this moment, he should maintain his demeanor and accept Jason’s greetings. After all, the company’s arrangements could not be changed anymore.

But he could not accept it!

Why wasn’t the head of department him?

He was the assistant manager, after all!

“Mr. Jason… you just came to the company, right? How did you become the manager? Others who don’t know may think you got it through special favors,” Ning Yu looked at Jason with a fake smile and said in a gloomy tone.

Although he knew that it wasn’t appropriate saying things like this, he did not care too much. He only had one feeling in his heart — it must be Ning Chen who was deliberately messing with him! Otherwise, this position should have belonged to him!

Jason seemed to be a little surprised at Ning Yu’s reaction. He paused for a moment before turning to look at the secretary. His tone was a little doubtful. “Is this really the assistant manager?”

He turned his head again to look at Ning Yu from head to toe. Because Jason was 1.9 meters tall, he looked down at Ning Yu with a somewhat condescending gaze. Then, a smile of disbelief appeared on the corner of his mouth, he said helplessly, “Why do I feel like you’re not even as good as the interns from my previous company?”

At first, Ning Yu simply did not understand what Jason meant. After two seconds, his entire face began to flush red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What did he say? That he was not even as good as the interns? How dare him?

How dare!

At first, Jason still behaved politely to Ning Yu. Now that he saw that Ning Yu was merely a good-for-nothing, he did not bother anymore. He put his hands in his pockets and turned his gaze to the secretary and said, “I don’t want any unprofessional people working under me. This Mr. Ning Yu is also surnamed Ning… could he be Mr. Ning Chen’s relative? No wonder. Mr. Ning Chen is really too kind. I respect his tolerance. But if Mr. Ning Yu wants to work under me, I hope you can change your attitude.”

Although Jason’s last words were directed at Ning Yu, he did not look at Ning Yu at all. After saying this.., Jason turned around and said to others in the meeting room, “Everybody, give a progress report on the task you are responsible for to me in three hours. Come to my office and hand it over to me.”

Jason was very efficient in his work. After giving the order, he immediately turned around and left. It was as if Ning Yu was non-existent and not worthy any more time spent.

Ning Yu was completely and utterly ignored by others.

The slightly cold air was like an invisible slap on Ning Yu’s red-hot face.

Everyone looked at Ning Yu as if they were looking at a thick layer of asphalt. It wrapped around Ning Yu and made him feel suffocated.

Ning Yu, who had been protected by Ning Jie since he was young, had never felt such humiliation and embarrassment.
