Chapter 521 - LunChapter At The Jin Family’s Old House Part IV
These girls were coddled rich kids, plus they were also young. Even the ones who were in their early twenties had the mentality of spoiled teenagers. They didn"t understand a lot of the things Iris said.
All of them were proud to belong in a prominent business family like the Jins, but they didn"t understand anything about business at all. They took the status a.s.sociated with the Jin family for granted, thinking that they deserved it just for the fact that they were born with the surname Jin. However, they didn"t bother learning the required knowledge and responsibilities to become true businesspeople deserving of the Jin family"s prestige.
Jin Jiali was incensed that Iris once again pointed out her mistake.
"So the rumours are true! Iris Long, you"re really a b.i.t.c.h! I bet that you only seduced Elder Brother Liwei with your white lotus act when the truth is that you"re a big b.i.t.c.h!" Jin Jiali yelled.
"Yeah!" the others echoed, as if all of them shared one single brain cell between them.
Jin Jiali continued, "You"re nothing compared to Big Sis Rose! She"s already the CMO at thirty. And not just any CMO but the CMO of Jin Corporation, the number one company in the country. What about you? You"re just a celebrity. Sure, you can sing well, have won some awards, and can speak a few languages, but the quality of your achievements pale in comparison to Big Sis Rose"s. She graduated from an American Ivy league university, the same one that Elder Brother Liwei attended. What about you? I heard that you didn"t even go to college. How pathetic!"
Iris narrowed her eyes. However, she didn"t react to the girl"s provocation. These girls made it sound like that American Ivy league university was the best school in the world. Did they even know about the existence of Cross Academy? She found it laughable that these girls were trying so hard to make trouble with her. They were like a group of toddlers trying to hit her with cotton b.a.l.l.s.
She didn"t want to waste any more time with these immature children. No, even some small children acted more mature than these teenagers and young adults, like her G.o.dson Little Jun. Iris ignored them and started walking away.
However, they didn"t let her. They encircled her and even tried grabbing her. Fortunately, she was able to dodge their repeated attempts.
When they started becoming more aggressive, Iris suddenly spoke out loud and said something in Russian.
"What are saying? Do you think we"ll be impressed that you can speak other languages? So what if you know other languages other than Chinese? I can also speak English and French. It"s nothing special! Don"t be so proud of yourself," one of the other girls said.
"But you suck in English. And you can only say bonjour and merci. Sometimes you even use them wrongly," another girl commented.
"Shut up!"
Iris" hand rubbed the bulge of her phone in the pocket of her pants.
Two additional girls arrived all of the sudden. When they saw that Jin Jiali"s group was ganging up on Iris, they hurried towards and tried to squeeze inside the encirclement. One of them reached out to Iris, attempting to rescue her.
"What are you doing?! Let her go! Iris Long is Elder Cousin"s future wife! If you hurt her, I"m sure that Elder Cousin will kill all of you!"
"Boss Iri—cough cough—I mean, Sister Xiulan, don"t worry. I"ll go call Elder Cousin right now!"
"Oh no, you don"t! Hold the two of them!" Jin Jiali commanded.
The other girls immediately grabbed the two girls, preventing them from calling for help. A minimum of three people held down each of the two girls.
"Jin Jiali, you"re going to be in so much trouble after this!!! Elder Cousin won"t forgive you!!!"
"Hmph!" Jin Jiali lifted her chin in an arrogant manner. "My father is an important member of the board of directors at Jin Corporation. The board of directors have the power to hire and fire people for important executive positions in the company. If they want, they could even fire the CEO, Elder Brother Liwei!"
The two girls gasped.
"You dare say that, Jin Jiali?!!"
Jin Jiali seemed to realize what she just said. She quickly looked around. When she was certain that n.o.body other than them heard her, she sighed in relief. Then she arrogantly lifted her chin once again.
"It"s true! The board of directors have the power to do that!"
Iris nodded. "She"s correct. But only by majority vote. Some companies even required a unanimous vote."
"Hmph! Of course, I"m correct." Jin Jiali looked proud of herself before glaring at Iris. "I don"t need to hear that from you. Don"t pretend like you"re smart and know anything about business. You don"t have a business degree like Big Sis Rose. Stop acting like you know what you"re talking about!"
At first, Iris was amused by the girls" immature attempts of bullying her. But now she just felt bored, indifferent…and annoyed. Their bullying methods bored her, almost making her yawn. What managed to annoy her, however, was their repeated comparisons between her and Rose Young. The woman was like disgusting chewed gum they were trying to stick to her hair.
"I"m warning you right now, Iris Long. You don"t suit Elder Brother Liwei," Jin Jiali continued trying to bully her into submission. "Stay away from him. We don"t want you in our Jin family! If you don"t listen to me, we"ll spread rumours about you. People will see only see you as a social climber like your mother. She only became a viscountess because she married a viscount. No achievements of her own, just like you! Stop using Elder Brother Liwei for your own gain. We won"t let you!"
Iris only stood there with a cold expression on her face. There was even a blank look in her eyes, as if she wasn"t present and their words weren"t affecting her at all. It also seemed like she wasn"t viewing them as people but mere annoying insects buzzing all around. She had more important things to do than waste her precious time with these dumb kids.
