Li Qiao returned to the company and heard a commotion as soon as she entered the lobby; it seemed like an argument was taking place.
She ignored it as disputes were commonplace in the workplace, and besides, the company's policies would restrain them.
However, just as she walked past the back wall of the reception, a sharp note of sarcasm broke through the noise, "Zong Yue, don't think you're something special just because you have connections. I'm your leader, and you have to do the work I assign to you."
Li Qiao glanced over subtly, seeing through the glass lattice screens a crowd gathered in the office area, with some trying to mediate and others craning their necks from their desks to enjoy the drama.
Zong Yue stood with her back to Li Qiao, her hands tense at her sides, and even though she was angry, her voice was as gentle as a breezy spring rain, "Director Liu, I'm a human resources associate; accompanying clients to dinner is not part of my job."
