Murong Xue didn't inform people in the branch that she was going to the company, mainly for inspection.

Long Yi, Murong Xue, and the others got out of the car and walked into the company.

The decoration here was much inferior. There was no magnificent decoration. Only two sculptures were placed at the door normally. A big logo model of Rise Group was at the center of the lobby. The reception was on the left.

Murong Xue looked over at the reception desk and found that there was no one there, so she couldn't help frowning. She walked over and found that the receptionist was bending over the reception desk and playing with her phone. Hence, it was impossible to see her from a distance.

"Ha-ha...." The receptionist was laughing while playing with her phone. She seemed to completely concentrate on chatting with people. She didn't even notice Murong Xue who already walked to the desk.

Murong Xue's face suddenly darkened. She tapped the table lightly with her hand.

"Wait a minute…" The receptionist didn't even lift her head. She simply replied as if she had been used to it. She then quickly tapped on the touch screen of her phone.

Murong Xue's expression turned much grimmer. She stopped urging the girl, simply stood by the desk, and watched the girl happily playing with her phone.

Long Yi took a step forward, wanting to pull out the receptionist who was so ignorant.

Murong Xue reached out and stopped Long Yi.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the receptionist raised her head with a smile. It seemed that she had finished chatting with someone on the phone. Seeing that Murong Xue and the others were still in front of the desk, she was a little surprised. But she said nonchalantly, "You're still standing here. What's the matter?"

She didn't even apologize. Murong Xue didn't expect the employee in the branch to be so slack, so she said coldly, "Where's your department chief?"

The receptionist immediately pouted her lips. When she saw that Murong Xue was a girl about 20 years old, she thought Murong Xue was another crazy girl who came to inquire about their department chief. Thus, she said a little impatiently, "Our department chief is busy. Don't come over to ask things about our department chief all the time!" They couldn't blame the girl for not recognizing the famous brands of the clothes on Murong Xue's body. After all, she was born and raised in the town. She didn't like studying when she was a child. She was merely fooling around and barely saw other things in the world. Now she was a bit jealous of Murong Xue for she looked so pretty.

Murong Xue found it ridiculous. When guests came to the company, the receptionist actually spoke in such a tone. What if someone came to the company and wanted to talk about business? Didn't the staff in the branch receive any training?

The members of Loong Pavilion also thought that the receptionist was so bold, for she actually spoke to her boss like that. No one dared to do that to his or her boss in this world, so they wondered if this girl was blind. Couldn't she see that a few people were following behind Murong Xue? Any normal people would know that they should greet the guests properly.

The receptionist simply ignored Murong Xue and the others. She actually took out a mirror, looked at herself, and took out the lipstick to fix her makeup.

After a while, seeing Murong Xue and the others still standing there, she said impatiently, "Why are you still standing here? Go. Go out. Don't disturb me here." The most important thing was that she didn't want the department chief to see such a beautiful girl here when he came back. Otherwise, she would have no chance to chase the department chief. The department chief was handsome and had a good job and fair income. He was simply an eligible bachelor.

Although he was only the department chief of this branch, this place was completely run by him. The girl thought that if she became his girlfriend, the company would also be hers in the future. She felt so good when she thought about it.

She had to admit that Rise Group was indeed a great company. She only needed to come and sit here every day, and then she could get the salary, which was quite a lot.

"That's how the company receives the guests? I said I want to see your department chief!" Murong Xue said.

The girl glanced at Murong Xue with contempt. "What kind of guest are you? You're just a nobody. Who are those strange people behind you? Don't think that you can pretend to be a scary woman of the underworld by getting a few people to follow you!"

Murong Xue was speechless. The girl in front of her was unbelievably stupid. She didn't want to talk to her anymore. She decided to call the headquarters to ask the phone number of the department chief of this branch. It was terrible to have such a branch.

Just as Murong Xue was about to take out her cell phone, the receptionist behind her shouted in a completely different voice, "Department chief, you're back. Oh, you must be tired."

She even immediately walked out from the reception and walked directly to a man in his 30s who had just come in through the door. She greeted him respectfully with a grin.

Murong Xue put down her phone, looked up at the department chief, and found that he had fine facial features. He looked handsome and gentle. He was walking in at this moment, "Ling, didn't I ask you to focus on the work of the reception? How could you come out?"

"Department chief, I'm working seriously. You said that we should treat customers with enthusiasm. I'm practicing." The receptionist looked completely different from what she looked when she faced Murong Xue and others. She totally changed her expression. Her voice was incredibly sweet.

The members of Loong Pavilion got goosebumps.

At this time, the department chief seemed to have noticed Murong Xue and the others. He walked up to Murong Xue and the others with a decent smile and then asked lightly, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

At this time, the receptionist also caught up. Her face changed slightly, and she suddenly interrupted, "Department chief, just ignore them. They just came here to look for trouble! You guys should leave. This company is not the place where you can fool around." She gave Murong Xue a fierce look when the department chief didn't notice.

The department chief was not as blind as the receptionist. He could see that these people were not normal. He couldn't even afford to buy their clothes with a month's salary, so he immediately told off the receptionist. "Ling, don't talk nonsense! I'm sorry. She's ignorant." He was upright and modest, showing a regretful expression.

Murong Xue folded her arms and raised her eyebrows slightly. "You're the department chief, right?"

"Yes! What can I do for you, Miss?" The department chief said without any impatience. He was still smiling.

The receptionist was still standing behind the department chief, glaring at Murong Xue fiercely.

"That's how your company trains the employees?" The department chief's attitude was not bad. But Murong Xue wanted to see how he handled this problem about the employee, so she didn't reveal her identity immediately.

"I'm sorry. She was being rude just now. We will definitely punish her after this." The department chief said apologetically. In fact, he was not really optimistic about this receptionist. But now they were short of employees. The branch was newly established. There were so many things that he needed to do alone. Thus, he let the Personnel Department fully take charge of the recruitment of employees. He thought that this receptionist was good at her work except for being so enthusiastic to him. Hence, he didn't pay much attention to her.

"Rude? This receptionist in your company is still staring at me. She simply looked at me with her nostrils. It's not just rude!" Murong Xue said.

When the department chief heard this, his expression changed slightly. He instantly turned his head to look at Ling behind him. Ling didn't get to change her expression so quickly, so her face was twisted, which looked a little funny at this moment.

"Department chief, I didn't..." Ling said anxiously. She hated these people. She would find someone to teach them a lesson in a while. Ling secretly made a decision in her heart. She didn't study when she was young, but she had been playing with the gangsters on the street.

"Shut up. Apologize to them right now!" The department chief no longer looked gentle and said to the receptionist a little sternly. He thought this receptionist was indeed not qualified. At this moment, she shouldn't explain to him. She should apologize to the customers instead.

Murong Xue only stood there, looking coldly at the receptionist whose eyes grew misty due to grievance.

It was the first time that the receptionist saw such a fierce expression of the department chief, so she was worried at the moment. She walked up to Murong Xue reluctantly, saying in an extremely low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Murong Xue said.

"You..." The receptionist flew into a rage all of a sudden, pointing at Murong Xue with one finger.

Murong Xue didn't bother to waste her time on this disrespectful receptionist. She looked up at the department chief coldly and then said, "Fire this woman right now. Rise Group doesn't need such an employee. And report the latest development progress of the branch to me immediately."

After she finished speaking, she paused, looked at the two people who were surprised, and continued, "And, for the record, I am the chief executive of Rise Group!"

Murong Xue walked to the newspaper rack aside, took out the latest newspaper, and threw it directly to the department chief. "You didn't even pay attention to the latest news. I have to doubt your ability to work."

The department chief opened the newspaper. There was a big picture of Murong Xue on it. The title said, "The daughter of Murong Group is actually the chief executive of Rise Group!" He widened his eyes in disbelief, and even he who had always worked steadily couldn't help but be shocked.

The receptionist's expression was interesting, for it kept changing dramatically. She was actually doing that to the chief executive of their company.

After all, he was the department chief, so he came to his senses after a while. He walked up to Murong Xue respectfully. "I'm sorry. I didn't know the chief executive came in person." He lightly bowed to Murong Xue, feeling depressed because he thought he might have left a bad impression on the chief executive.

Murong Xue gave a simple response and then walked into the company. "Let's go. We'll talk in the office!"

"Okay!" After taking a few steps, the department chief turned around and said to the receptionist, "You should leave. You don't need to come to work anymore. The accountant will settle the salary for you!" After saying that, he quickly walked over to Murong Xue and led the way in front of her. He did not dare to ask about Long Yi and a few people behind Murong Xue, thinking that they were probably bodyguards or something.

Murong Xue did not take the elevator but took the stairs. She took a look at the working status of the staff in the branch on each floor.

Almost every department was slightly vacant, and many seats were empty. Murong Xue frowned unconsciously.

The department chief on the side started to sweat a lot. The situation of the branch couldn't be compared with that of the headquarters. The main reason was that they lacked talents in these small towns. Those with better working abilities were not willing to work in a small town. Many people would choose to work downtown.

The conditions of the agricultural base and factories were relatively good because there was still surplus labor in the countryside. Many female farmers usually had nothing to do at home, so the branch got enough employees in the factories and the agricultural base, but the office employees were far from enough.

After entering the office, Murong Xue naturally sat at the main chair and said to the department chief indifferently, "Tell me about the branch!"

"Yes, chief executive. As you can see, the branch is slightly understaffed. The factories and the agricultural base already started producing, and the first batch of products is just released today. The stores were now being furnished quickly. It may take another week to finish it."

Murong Xue listened carefully to the department chief's report. "What about the receptionist in the lobby? Haven't the employees received any training?" How could she be relieved when the company had such an employee?

The department chief's face turned pale slightly. He was nervous, but he still said frankly, "Actually, there is training. This matter is my dereliction of duty. After I handed over the recruitment affairs to the Personnel Department, I didn't check their work in time."

Murong Xue frowned. She was not satisfied with such an answer. The receptionist worked like that after the training. It seemed that the situation of the Personnel Department was not much better. She didn't expect the employees in the branch to work in such a state, which was much worse than she had imagined. But she also understood that this department chief was not slack. It was probably because he needed to do too many things.
