Supervisor Yan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her confidence waned.
Because she noticed that Yu Shanhe's expression didn't soften at all with her defense.
Instead, his brows knitted deeper, and his face darkened.
Even if she was stupid, she could guess that the kid she had called a little retard had an extraordinary relationship with this big boss.
Supervisor Yan felt her eyelids twitch wildly. She had a feeling that disaster was looming.
She had joined this company three years ago.
By that time, Yu Shanhe had already stopped getting involved in the company's affairs. All day long, the only thing on his mind was finding his daughter.
However, Yu Shanhe didn't make this public.
Apart from some long - serving employees in the company, others only knew that the big boss had family problems, so he rarely showed up in the company.
At that time, she had always followed a shareholder around. She thought the big boss was just a figurehead and didn't care or inquire about him at all.
Anyway, as long as she followed the shareholder, she could enjoy the benefits.
Later, even when Yu Shanhe returned to the company, he was as busy as a spinning top every day. He was either on a business trip or on the way to one.
As a supervisor, she had very few opportunities to contact him, so she didn't pay much attention either.
After all, the shareholder who took care of her hadn't been kicked out. Whether the big boss was around or not, the shareholder could still take care of her.
The longer she had been in the company and the more power she had wielded in the department, the more she had forgotten that she was actually just an employee.
She had always been domineering.
When faced with doubts and conflicts with other employees, she instinctively wanted to lie and defend herself.
In the past, she had a high position and a backer. Those who dealt with things would turn a blind eye, and no one cared whether what she said was true or false.
But today's situation was obviously different from the past.
However, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take them back.
Supervisor Yan forced herself to calm down. Thinking of the shareholder she had served for three whole years, she somehow gained a bit of courage.
Screw it!
So what if he was the big boss?
The shareholder she had latched onto also had a say in the company.
"Oh? Supervisor Yan thinks I'm very uneducated and that I'm a bad father?"
The angrier Yu Shanhe got, the calmer he appeared.
His calm tone exuded boundless pressure.
His words clearly indicated that Niannian was his daughter.
After their guesses were confirmed, all the employees who wanted to watch Supervisor Yan's showdown were filled with excitement.
Scolding the big boss's daughter, scaring the kid to tears, threatening the kid, and calling the big boss uneducated...
Wow.
Supervisor Yan had really kicked a steel plate today. She was definitely in for a hard time.
Many people couldn't help but snicker secretly.
The snickers in the crowd were like slaps on Supervisor Yan's face.
The woman's face flushed with anger.
But she still puffed out her chest and defended herself in a more euphemistic way.
"President, I didn't mean that. I thought this kid was brought to the company privately by an employee. I didn't know this kid was your daughter. Bringing a child to work doesn't comply with the regulations, so I said those things."
"Moreover, at first, I just wanted to come to the pantry to make a cup of coffee. It was this kid who ran into me recklessly. Plus, I've been under a lot of work pressure recently, and there have been many things going on at home. I've been in a bad mood, so I spoke without thinking."
"Boss Song emphasized during a meeting that we must manage our subordinates well. No rules, no standards. I just wanted to follow the rules, but my words were a bit too harsh."
"I'm sorry, President. I will definitely reflect on myself when I get back."
Supervisor Yan's words were very clever.
She portrayed herself as someone who had the company's best interests at heart.
She also showed that she had been under a lot of pressure both in her private life and at work recently, hoping to gain understanding.
Finally, she brought out her biggest backer as a form of intimidation.
She was reminding Yu Shanhe that she had been promoted by another major shareholder and couldn't be easily touched.
Yu Shanhe had been managing the company for many years and had built it from scratch.
He had encountered countless old foxes.
How could he not understand Supervisor Yan's little tricks?
Yu Shanhe was so angry that he almost laughed. He glanced at her indifferently and first picked Niannian up from the ground.
There was no hurry to deal with this little supervisor.
The most urgent thing was to comfort his precious daughter.
The child had been crying for so long and still hadn't stopped. What if she cried herself sick?
He gently patted Niannian's back, trying to soothe her while whispering softly, "Baby, be good. Don't cry. Tell Dad what's bothering you, and Dad will solve it for you."
"Woohoo... Dad, the clothes Master made for me are broken, woohoo. I've let Master down. If Master knows, will Master stop liking Niannian?"
"Master said that no matter how precious the gifts from others are, they are all expressions of goodwill. We must never let others' goodwill go to waste. We should cherish them well. Otherwise, we're not good kids."
"Master doesn't like kids who aren't good, woohoo..."
Niannian wasn't crying as loudly and miserably as before.
She was just sobbing softly, and the tears still kept falling.
Her eyes and nose were all red from crying. She looked so pitiful.
When Yu Shanhe saw his daughter crying, his heart felt as if it was being twisted.
He felt extremely sad too.
He gently wiped away the tears on Niannian's face and said, "No, Niannian didn't break the clothes on purpose. Your Master will definitely understand."
"Our Niannian is a good kid, the most obedient child in the world. Later, Dad will find someone to repair your clothes. I guarantee they'll be as good as new. Don't be sad, baby, okay?"
Hearing her dad say that she was the best - behaved kid in the world, Niannian suddenly felt less sad.
She raised her chubby little hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes and looked straight into Yu Shanhe's eyes and asked, "Really? Can the clothes really be fixed?"
"Yes, they definitely can."
Yu Shanhe had just glanced at the clothes his daughter was wearing. The fabric wasn't of the highest quality.
Nor was the craftsmanship extremely sophisticated.
There was just a hole in the collar. It would be easy to find a skilled tailor to mend it.
Looking at the crooked stitches on the clothes,
Yu Shanhe felt a complex mix of emotions.
He thought of the Qingyun Taoist Priest, who he had only heard of but never seen.
He felt both grateful and jealous.
He was grateful that the Taoist Priest had taken such good care of his daughter. She was polite, reasonable, and capable.
She was simply the most perfect treasure in the world.
But he was also jealous that his daughter always relied on this person and talked about him all the time.
Maybe in his daughter's heart, the Qingyun Taoist Priest was more like a father than he was.
Sigh.
But it didn't matter. He would work hard.
He would work harder to be better to his little bun.
Sooner or later, he would become the unique and irreplaceable dad in Niannian's heart.
