Chapter 305 Infringement (9)
"What are you doing? What's wrong with you?"
Lin Zhou turned back, pulled Liang Xiao aside, and turned to look at Xiao Min's face.
The slap just now was quite powerful. Even though Xiao Min covered her face, Lin Zhou could still see several clear red marks between her fingers.
"Go get some ice to reduce the swelling." He whispered to Xiao Min, "Hand over your work to the others later..."
"No, Lin...Boss Lin," Xiao Min stopped crying and shook her head in fear. "I...I'm fine, Boss Lin, please don't fire me...I, my internship isn't over yet...I can't live without this job, please don't fire me!"
She was cautious and trembling, with a bit of fear and panic about being fired in her eyes. She turned to look at Liang Xiao and said, "Ms. Liang, I... I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry. Please talk to Mr. Lin. I can't lose this job. I..."
"I didn't say I was going to fire you!"
Lin Zhou said in a deep voice, "I mean, you go and take over and then go back to rest this afternoon. It's best to apply ice to the wound on your face to reduce the swelling!"
These few words were not as harsh as those he usually spoke at work.
Xiao Min heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She covered her face with her hands and bowed to Lin Zhou: "Oh, okay... thank you... thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
After saying that, she turned around and returned to her workstation: "Mr. Li asked me to send a notice, and I haven't finished editing it yet. You go ahead and do your work, Mr. Lin, I'll wait..."
"Oh, yes! Lin Zhou!" Liang Xiao glanced behind him and immediately ran over to hold Lin Zhou's hand: "Well, I just remembered that my parents... asked me to come and find you for dinner at their house. Let's go first! I'm..."
Before she could even say the word "hungry", she didn't dare to say anything further.
She saw that Lin Zhou looked at her with disgust and impatience, and even a hint of disdain.
"You slapped someone for no reason and want to leave without apologizing? Is this how you get along with people?" Lin Zhou looked at her and asked.
The tone of this sentence was not as gentle as before, and it clearly had a bit more of a scolding tone.
Liang Xiao was already angry, and when she saw that his attitude towards her was even worse than Xiao Min's, the anger in her heart immediately burst out.
But it was only for a moment, and she returned to her previous flattering look.
Xiao Min was moving her mouse around on the desktop, searching for the half-edited document.
She took a look, walked forward, and without saying a word, pulled the man up: "Alright, alright, stop it, and leave! It was my fault just now, I apologize!"
"Ah?" Xiao Min was stunned: "You, oh, no, no, it's my fault..."
"Oh, that's enough! I'll take you to reduce the swelling!" She grabbed Xiao Min's wrist again, turned around and walked out.
When she passed by Lin Zhou, she stopped, looked up at his face, and smiled again: "Lin Zhou, you must wait for me, let's go back to my house together!"
“…”
Lin Zhou glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and turned away.
"Hey...what do you want from me?" She shouted at Lin Zhou's back, "Are you going to my house or not?"
“…”
There was no response, and the figure had disappeared!
"snort!"
She shook off Xiao Min's hand and turned to glare at her.
"Ms. Liang, why don't you go back first! I still have work to do..."
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear Lin Zhougang tell you to go back and rest?"
Without further ado, she pulled Xiao Min towards the door, complaining as she walked: "I won't bother with you about soiling my skirt. Once the swelling goes down, go back quickly! Remember, you are not allowed to hang around in front of Lin Zhou from now on, do you understand?"
"Oh! Listen...I heard it!"
When Xiao Min replied timidly, she turned her head to look at the workstation behind her, and a hint of viciousness suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows:
Bitch, just wait and see!
————
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, just after lunch break.
Li Jing was leaning on the sofa in the office with her eyes closed when she was woken up by a rapid ringing of her cell phone.
She squinted her eyes and glanced at her phone: Tian Xin.
"Why are you calling again?"
She mumbled as she picked up the phone, answered it, and leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes.
But in just a second, the eyes opened again, accompanied by a scream:
"What did you say?"
"A week in advance, how is that possible?"
As she spoke, she turned on her computer and entered the homepage of the website.
The "pre-sale notice" on the website's homepage and the pink bubbles that filled the screen, plus the slogan "Chinese Valentine's Day Shopping Carnival" that flashed on the screen, all verified what Tian Xin had just said.
She was stunned for a moment!
"How is this possible? I clearly told Xiao Min..."
Xiao Min?
Yes, where is Xiao Min?
"Xiao Min... Xiao Min..." she shouted loudly, quickly opened the homepage to check the notification time, and dialed the landline phone on the corner of the table.
After a few beeps, a male voice came from the other end: "Mr. Li..."
"Where is Xiao Min?" Li Jing roared, and his subordinates became even more chaotic.
"She went back to rest!" said the male voice.
"Who told her to go back? Where's she? Find her here! Quickly..."
"It was President Lin who asked her to...beep, beep, beep—"
Before he could finish his words, the phone was hung up!
Li Jing's mind is completely confused!
The website's homepage states: "The Qixi Shopping Carnival will be held a week in advance, with pre-sales starting today. Enjoy discounts and additional discounts on Qixi Day with pre-sales! The event will last for two weeks, ending at midnight on Qixi Day!"
This notice was sent two hours ago!
From the minute the product was released, some merchants launched pre-sale activities. In order to grab the discount quota early, many buyers submitted prepayments as soon as the store put it on the shelves.
"It's over, Tian Xin!" She slumped down on a chair in panic, saying weakly, "Many businesses have already started pre-orders, and they can't be withdrawn!"
"It's okay, it's okay, don't panic!" Tian Xin comforted her, "Let's see how much the advance payment is."
"It's close to 100,000, and still growing!"
"Then it really can't be canceled," Tian Xin said: "So, you should quickly contact the public relations department and ask them to issue an urgent notice. Don't close the pre-sale channel yet. Change the event time to the day of Qixi Festival. Change the original seven days to one day.
For buyers who have paid in advance, in addition to the merchant's discount, the website will give an additional discount or a discount on a certain amount of money. The discount should be substantial, and this discount will be valid until the day of the event... Beep, beep, beep - Hello, Li Jing, Li Jing..."
Before Tian Xin could finish her words, the other end hung up again!
The hall was in chaos. All the employees were busy dealing with their work. This early notice had undone the previous two weeks of work, forcing them to start all over again.
Li Jing has notified all departments of an emergency meeting, and all department managers hurried to the meeting room with their computers.
When Tian Xin called again, no one answered the phone! The phone kept vibrating on the desk...
