40 Demanding Demon

After debating a bit, Feng Mian decided to click it open and read the content.

'The small celebration party starts at 4 PM. No need for formal dress. It's located in each department. Your driver will pick you up at 12.

- Zhang Liang'

"Eh, this is his number?" Feng Mian's eyes widened. She looked at the screen for a few seconds before deciding to save the number. When her phone showed the screen, asking her to type the name, Feng Mian's lips curled up slightly. Slowly, she typed:

Demanding Demon

'That should do.'

Zhang Liang shouldn't know the content of her phone too, so this name should be suitable for him. The way he talked just made it hard for her to refute. Nothing seemed to escape his calculation as he gave her clear and rational reason as to why he wanted her to stay in this position. He stated the benefit for each party clearly.

Very demanding yet persuasive.

After saving the number, Feng Mian proceeded to ask for female clothes from the servant. Since Zhang Ai's clothes were a bit too big for her, they had no choice but to buy a new one for her. She used simple a cream dress with a long skirt. Looking at her appearance, she just hoped that a certain annoying man wouldn't make any remark.

From any angle she saw it, the dress looked elegant and much more expensive. With her usual wage, it was close to impossible for her to buy it normally. Well, there was no time to worry. It was not like he would know the price of women's clothes.

The car arrived at 12. Feng Mian asked the driver to stop a bit further away from the company because normally, she had to run from the station. If she suddenly used car to come, it would be suspicious.

"Is this alright, Madam?"

"Yes." Feng Mian got out of the car and started walking. She turned in the intersection and walked to the right, heading straight into the company building. The guards let her in after she showed her employee's pass.

Not wanting to delay any longer, Feng Mian headed straight to her department floor.

"Feng Mian!"

"Oh, Yu Yan," Feng Mian waved her hand. She could see that her friend was very excited. "You seem to be enjoying your vacation."

"Of course. It's rare for the stingy president to give us a holiday. You look very beautiful today! Is it a new dress?"

Feng Mian nodded. "Well, yeah."

Yu Yan looked at Feng Mian suspiciously. "Don't overwork yourself."

"I didn't." in fact, she was very idle for the past week because of a certain president.

"Alright if you say so." Yu Yan was unconvinced, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to force Feng Mian to say anything when the latter didn't want to. "Anyway, let's go to the hall, we need to watch him giving speech."

It was just a small party, so President Zhang wouldn't participate with them because he was in a different company. He will, however, gave them a short speech to open the small celebration that each department held. Since he couldn't possibly walk around the company, they decided to have him talk and broadcast it to the television in each department.

"Hurry up."

Yu Yan brought Feng Mian into the hall. Seeing the crowd, Feng Mian smiled bitterly. She should have come here earlier.

Not long afterwards, the broadcast started. They could see President Zhang's face. From the background on the back, it looked like he was in his office with his secretary doing the recording.

"Good evening everyone," Zhang Liang began his speech. His calm low tone reverberated in his room, pulling everyone to focus their attention to him. Even though it was nothing more than a greeting, his presence alone demanded them to give him attention.

"I thank you for all of your hard work for the past year. In addition, the last project for New Year was really good. I hope you can do the same this year. Enjoy this short celebration. I won't be angry if you're late tomorrow, but only for today. There are still a lot of things you need to finish."

At this time, they could hear a knock from the door. It seemed that there must be an important guest coming.

"That should be all. Happy New Year everyone."

"Happy New Year!"

Even though it was nothing more than video, the employees all responded to Zhang Liang's greeting.

Looking at how easily he captured their attention with his short speech, Feng Mian's mouth curled up to make a smile. Since the very start, she had long known that Zhang Liang truly had the aura of a leader. She admired him greatly, and it was the third reason why she picked this company for her internship back then.

By her side, Yu Yan sighed. She lamented, "If only President Zhang is not a demon in asking us to work to death, I'm sure that many female employees can't resist his charm."

Right, he's a demon at work.

Feng Mian could never forget how much he pushed them to work for a very short deadline. He was very demanding for them to work, yet he knew the limit and never made them work beyond their capabilities. In the first place, those who couldn't meet his requirement were all fired. The days when she nearly didn't sleep at all for days resurfaced in her mind.

'That's why he's a demon, and not an ordinary one but one that's very demanding but also rational.'
