Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Domineering Sister Yao
Sister Tong didn’t like Ming Yao’s bright yet coldly charming appearance, which screamed nothing but a pretty vase, empty of any understanding of design.
Even in professional attire, she managed to exude a bewitchingly eerie aura.
Ming Yao hooked the corner of her lips with a careless smile, but she didn’t say anything and walked toward the office.
Seeing that Ming Yao disregarded her words, Sister Tong’s face was filled with displeasure, “I’m the manager here, don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
Ming Yao turned back to look at Sister Tong, “I’m the person in charge here.”
“Ha, you’re the person in charge, then I might as well be the chairman,” Sister Tong was about to call security to kick Ming Yao out when the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor arose.
From a distance, several figures approached.
Understanding who was coming, Sister Tong saw Ming Wan and several senior executives from the Ming Corporation arriving.
Sister Tong had no time to deal with Ming Yao anymore, she impatiently gave an order, “Just go and stand at the end of the line!”
Soon, Ming Wan and her entourage arrived.
Ming Wan was in the middle, dressed in a pink blouse and a white A-line skirt, her black hair draped over her shoulders, her face adorned with exquisite makeup, standing on seven-centimeter high heels with her chin slightly raised, looking utterly imperious.
With Jiang Biyun’s help, Ming Guoan agreed to let Ming Yao work in the company’s advertising department.
She was now the manager of the main company’s advertising department.

After arriving at the main company today, many treated her with reverence and flattery, and she immediately regained her confidence.
She intended to check out Autumn Water Studio and, upon arrival, Sister Tong led all the employees in bowing to greet her, “Miss Ming, hello!”
Ming Wan’s lips curled into a triumphantly breezy smile, but before her smile could fully unfold, she saw Ming Yao at the end of the line.
Ming Yao did not bow like the other employees.
Seeing Ming Wan’s gaze turn toward Ming Yao, Sister Tong’s brow twitched.
This vase who only knew her place through looks really didn’t know how to play along!
Offending Miss Ming, let’s see how she will get by in the design circle from now on!
“Miss Ming, don’t be angry, she’s here for an interview. I’ll send her away right now!”
Sister Tong walked toward Ming Yao, “What are you still standing there for, hurry up and leave!”
Ming Yao lifted her eyelids slightly and gave Sister Tong a detached glance.
Although the look was not sharp, Sister Tong felt an inexplicable tingling in her scalp.
In an instant, Sister Tong felt intimidated by the aura emanating from Ming Yao!
She stared at Ming Yao, who previously appeared no more than a pretty vase, but now seemed aloof and haughty, not at all humbled like an interviewee should be, but rather like a high and inviolable queen.
“You…”
Sister Tong’s lips trembled as she barely got out a word, then she saw Ming Yao walk toward Ming Wan with a cold smile, “Sister, aren’t you going to introduce me? Or is it that you’re too embarrassed to let everyone know that you lost at the Li University fashion competition?”
Sister?
You lost the Li University fashion competition?
These two pieces of crucial information left everyone at Autumn Water Studio, including Sister Tong, utterly stunned.
Ming Wan’s face turned slightly unsightly, but she quickly adjusted her expression.
She walked up to Ming Yao and said with a smile, “Sister, I came to tell you that I am now working in the advertising department. Dad said that if I can make achievements, he is going to promote me to be the vice president of the main company!”
A vice president compared to the person in charge of Autumn Water Studio was basically heaven and earth, okay?
Ming Yao, already accustomed to Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun’s partiality, curved her red lips indifferently, “Is that so? Since you couldn’t make it as a star and couldn’t win in design, do you really think you can achieve anything in the advertising department?”
The undisguised contempt in Ming Yao’s eyes turned Ming Wan’s face green in an instant.
That damn Ming Yao!
She thought she was so great just because she won a fashion competition at Li University once?
She was nothing more than a plagiarist of Starburst’s work, and she had already contacted Starburst’s company. They would send someone to verify it very soon!
When the time came, Ming Yao would tumble from heaven into hell.
And Autumn Water Studio would sooner or later return to her hands!
“Sister, my office is still being prepared. Dad said I should work here for now,” Ming Wan looked at Sister Tong. “Is my office ready yet?”
Sister Tong hadn’t yet gotten over the news that Ming Yao was now in charge of Autumn Water Studio.
Hearing Ming Wan’s question, she thought that Ming Wan would one day wield more power than Ming Yao as the successor of Ming Corporation. It was always good to suck up to Ming Wan!
“It’s ready, Miss Ming. I’ll take you there.”
Sister Tong had prepared the largest office for Ming Wan, with a new desk and cabinet, and there was even a bouquet of gorgeous flowers on the desk, showing how much she valued Ming Wan.
Ming Wan took over the office that originally belonged to Ming Yao, leaving Ming Yao with nowhere to sit.
Sister Tong led Ming Yao to a corner of the larger office, “Eldest Miss Ming, you’ll have to make do with sitting here for now.”
Ming Yao looked at the cluttered desk but wasn’t upset. Her red lips curved slightly. “Manager Tong, are you sure?”
“What other choice is there? There are no more spots available. Otherwise, Eldest Miss Ming, you should ask President Ming!”
Everyone knew that Eldest Miss Ming was not favored by President Ming.
Ming Yao didn’t say anything further, “Okay, hope you won’t regret it.”
Sister Tong now had her heart set on Ming Wan as her pillar of support. Why would she regret it?
She scoffed and walked away.
After Sister Tong left, a woman about the same age as Sister Tong and a young girl approached.
“Eldest Miss, my name is Ding Jie. I have worked at Autumn Water Studio for nearly ten years. Let me organize your desk!”
“Eldest Miss, my name is Ling Xi. I will help Sister Ding to tidy up.”
Ming Yao glanced at the two and smiled, “Thank you.”
After reaching Ming Wan’s office, Sister Tong sneered as she observed the situation outside, “Ding Jie and Ling Xi really don’t know what’s good for them!”
Ming Wan took out a box of cosmetics from her bag and gave it to Sister Tong. “I will need you to keep me informed about things here in the future.”
“You can rest assured, Second Miss. It’s clear at a glance that Eldest Miss Ming is just an ornamental vase, no threat to your position!” Had she been of any use, would she let herself be relegated to a corner piled with clutter without a peep?
However, she had underestimated Ming Yao.
That day, while Sister Tong was out on business and Ming Wan was not in the office, Ming Yao called in a renovation team.
They demolished Ming Wan’s office and started a redesign.
She handed over the order she received to Ding Jie, who had the same years of experience as Sister Tong but had always been oppressed by her.
Ding Jie looked incredulous yet flattered. “Eldest Miss, this is the Dream Factory’s order, right? They only work with international brands. How did you—”
Ming Yao hooked her red lips, “Sister Ding, just take care of it. By the way, what do you think about the position of manager?”
Ding Jie’s eyes widened. She had the ability but didn’t have Sister Tong’s knack for ingratiating herself with leadership, resulting in years of being suppressed by her.
“Can I really do it? What about Manager Tong?”
Ming Yao’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, “As for her, naturally—”
In the cafeteria at noon.
When Sister Tong, outraged at being fired, found Ming Yao, she burst out, “Ming Yao, you can’t just fire a ten-year employee because you’re the Eldest Miss! I have worked diligently for Autumn Water Studio all these years. What have I done wrong? With you in charge, firing old employees right after taking office, who would dare to work with you in the future?”
