Seeing this scene, William, as Yasmin’s direct superior, couldn’t help but speak up.
“Chen, it’s just a small matter. Do you really need to make such a big deal out of it?”
“Yasmin is practically family to me. Can you give me some face and let this go?”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Face? Mr. Smith, you don’t actually think your face carries that much weight, do you?”
William’s expression immediately darkened.
“Jessica Chen, I advise you not to go too far. Don’t forget this is Bay City!”
“You two really are from the same company – even your way of speaking is identical.”
I sneered and pulled out my phone.
“Mr. Smith, your employee dared to act so recklessly on the plane because she thought she had the Smith family backing her, right?”
“Today I’m going to make an example and teach you so–called upper–class people a lesson!”
With that, I dialed Walter Smith’s number in front of everyone.
It only rang once before he picked up.
“Oh my, if it isn’t Miss Chen!”
“Shouldn’t you be on a date with my son right now? What brings you to call me?”
I gave William & long, meaningful look before speaking slowly:
“Walter Smith, I have a question I really want to ask you.”
“Does your Smith family think you’ve been living too comfortably these past few years?”
Before he could react, I imitated Yasmin’s tone from earlier when she threatened my superior:
“You have ten minutes to get to the airport. Otherwise, I don’t mind reshuffling the business landscape in Bay City.”
On the other end, Walter Smith was silent for a moment. Then I heard the sound of a cup shattering on the ground.
“Miss Chen… please calm down. I’ll be right there!”
After this exchange, everyone present was utterly shocked.
“Holy crap, who exactly is this girl? She even dares to disrespect the founder of Smith Group!”
“This is Bay City. No matter how powerful she is, a dragon can’t crush a snake in its old haunt!”
“Exactly! If Mr. Smith Senior really shows up, this matter won’t be so easy to resolve.”
As the current representative of the Smith family, William was fuming with anger.
“Chen, I don’t care who your backer is. The Smith family won’t let you off!”
I waved my hand dismissively.
“Mr. Smith, you’ve got it backwards.”
“The issue now isn’t whether your Smith family will let me off, but whether I’ll let you off!”
As William’s number one lackey, Yasmin immediately spoke up in rebuttal.
“You little bitch, pushing me was bad enough, but now you dare disrespect Mr. Smith? I want to see just who your mysterious backer is!”
Faced with their threats, I just smiled faintly.
“Ms. Zhang, you don’t really think it was a coincidence that I could make the plane turn back, do you?”
“Haven’t you learned to read the room after being a secretary for so many years?”
As time ticked by minute by minute, more and more people gathered in the airport waiting area.
The onlookers all took out their phones and started taking photos. Even the airport staff were dazzled.
“My goodness, we’re in for quite a show today. So many big shots have shown up!”
“You said it! Any one of these bigwigs could dominate the headlines in the capital.”
We really lucked out today. Who would’ve thought we’d see so many tycoons you only see on TV!”
Just then, a distinguished middle–aged man came running up to me, out of breath.
“Miss Chen… I’m so sorry for the trouble!”
