Jane’s words were resolute, and the assistant standing by nodded vigorously, unable to help applauding in her heart.
Melissa stood there with a puzzled look, and then Jane left with her assistant.
After the many agents left, they began discussing Melissa’s identity.
“How could our boss, such a shrewd person, allow a relative to work under her nose? Especially when this relative doesn’t seem to respect the boss at all.”
Several agents sat together, chatting away. No matter what they said, they were all thinking about Jane.
“Look at that person, so arrogant, not showing an ounce of courtesy. I wonder who introduced her here.”
“Didn’t he say her surname is Pansy? She’s likely a relative from the president’s side, but why is she here with Jane?”
Several agents were puzzled by today’s events, but they couldn’t come up with an answer.
When Melissa approached, they were still discussing with varying volumes that happened to reach Melissa’s ears.
“I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to know that there are so many gossipy people in the company. No wonder it’s an entertainment gossip company.” The implication behind these words was clearly accusing Jane while disparaging the company.
“What are you doing here? This is our agents’ area. It shouldn’t be within your scope,” Sarah, Jane’s capable right-hand woman and the first person to join Jane, questioned.
“Of course, my sister-in-law asked me to familiarize myself with the business. Send me a copy of all the information on the artists in your hands and send me a copy of all the information in the company,” Melissa requested the information from them as if inspecting the work.
However, Jane had never said such a thing.
Sarah understood Jane very well. They wouldn’t let this unexpected guest off easily.
“I think the boss means you should understand all the company’s artists and pass her assessment,” Sarah clarified.
Melissa hadn’t expected Jane’s subordinates to be so astute.
“I’ve just arrived at the company and I’m not familiar with everything. That’s why I asked for your help,” Melissa changed her attitude to a more humble one, looking sincere but still retaining her haughty demeanor.
Several agents pointed and gestured at Melissa but none of them were willing to help.
“Don’t forget that I was brought here by Jane. So offending me is equivalent to offending Jane,” Melissa attempted to threaten them.
However, their laughter only grew louder, laughing directly in Melissa’s face.
“Are you laughing at me?”
Several agents laughed heartily without saying a word.
Then a voice came from behind Melissa. “Miss Pansy, these are the documents the boss asked me to give you. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with all the information by the end of today. Tomorrow morning at 9:00, the boss will personally assess you.”
After giving these instructions, the assistant left, leaving all the documents in Melissa’s hands.
Seeing all the documents, Melissa was dumbfounded. She had hoped to spend the day quietly, but she had been given a stern warning by Jane.
Sarah walked up to her. “Miss Pansy, take a good look. If you don’t understand anything, come to me. I will treat you as my most beloved disciple.”
Several agents burst into laughter upon hearing this and followed Sarah.
Melissa, feeling humiliated and mocked like never before, angrily threw the documents on the ground.
This scene was witnessed by Jane.
“Boss, do we really need to keep such a person?” the assistant couldn’t understand. With so many excellent employees in their company, why bring in someone who knows nothing, like a spoiled rich girl?
Jane casually replied with a hint of calculation, “Only when she’s exhausted will she not cause trouble.”
Alone in a small office facing piles of documents on the table, Melissa felt overwhelmed. The assistant kept bringing more documents, driving her to the brink of collapse.
“How can your company possibly need so much information?” Based on what she knew, Jane’s company had only been established for less than five years. How could there be so much data to review?
“Miss Pansy, although our company is relatively new, our performance is excellent. Therefore, we have quite a number of artists. Since you want to understand the entire company, it’s natural to familiarize yourself with all the artists’ information,” the assistant’s official explanation left Melissa with no room for objection.
She could only grit her teeth and continue.
It wasn’t until 10:00 at night that Jane finished her work and quietly approached Melissa’s desk, only to find her still toiling away.
Seeing a young heiress enduring such hardship, Jane couldn’t bear it. She approached Melissa and kindly suggested, “Instead of working so hard, why not go home and be the Miss of the Pansy family?”
Hearing this, Melissa snorted coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know. You’re trying to force me out of the company using reverse psychology.”
“I don’t need to resort to such tactics with you. If you really can’t finish the work, you can tell me,” Jane replied, hoping to see Melissa beg for mercy.
But Melissa remained defiant and refused to bow down.
“We’ll see about that tomorrow,” she said firmly.
Jane admired her courage and decided to give her another chance.
Back at home, Jane found Patrick taking care of the children, who seemed to have grown a lot today and looked much happier. Her parents had already gone to bed.
Jane briefed the nanny about the children’s day and was about to ask further questions when Patrick interrupted.
“I’ve already asked everything you want to know. The answer is everything is fine,” Patrick said.
Jane smiled knowingly.
In their room, Patrick pulled her into a chair and massaged her shoulders. “You must be unfamiliar with the company after resting for so long.”
Jane chuckled. “Are you asking about your cousin?”
Although Melissa was recommended by Patrick, he trusted Jane’s judgment. He knew she wouldn’t mistreat her.
“Don’t worry, she’s family. I won’t mistreat her. But there’s one condition: our company doesn’t employ idle people. Those who are capable will stay, and if not, I’m sorry,” Jane explained.
