Chapter 160
"Sister Zhong Qiao, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again."
God knows how shocked Jin Gui was when she saw the results of those people being dealt with. Before, because Zhong Qiao was very kind to her and also friendly to the girls below, she had the illusion that Zhong Qiao was a friend. Over time, she relaxed her vigilance.
This has led to a terrible idea of "just dealing with it casually" towards work, which is like boiling a frog in warm water, causing one's willpower to sink.
But today, Jin Gui found out that she was wrong, very wrong. Zhong Qiao had made it very clear to her from the beginning that they were more like business partners.
However, she failed to even do the most basic personnel management, which was a humiliation to her.
Zhong Qiao understood her helplessness, so he sighed and said, "Jin Gui, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you need to change your character."
"You're too timid. Today's incident wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. It's human nature. I have my share of issues. As a boss, you shouldn't get too close to your subordinates. You should maintain a sense of propriety and distance. But you've become overly assertive and even trembling with fear because of a single mistake. What will you do if something even worse happens in the future?"
Zhong Qiao stood up and patted her shoulder: "Be brave, I believe in your ability. You are doing a great job now. You gave me feedback and fired five employees who were trying to smooth things over."
"It's just that your character still needs further training."
Jin Gui looked at her in a daze.
Before entering the door, she had thought of many scenes, even the first time Zhong Qiao got angry. Maybe Zhong Qiao was fine, and was still as gentle as ever, treating her kindly. This strong contrast made her feel ashamed.
"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui's brows relaxed slightly, as if she had suddenly realized something. "I'll get busy first."
Zhong Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."
In fact, she also wanted to ask about Xiao Mantou. She hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know how he was doing. Jingui now had a stable income and could probably support his studies. The little guy was very smart. Zhong Qiao liked him very much and really wanted him to come home to play.
However, seeing Jin Gui's heavy expression, as if she had accepted a mission, a very serious mission, Zhong Qiao swallowed what he wanted to say.
Another new week has passed. During this period, there is an employee handbook personally formulated by Jingui. Everyone must follow the regulations above, so that the staff in the warehouse have a backbone.
Zhong Qiao could clearly feel that everyone in the warehouse was working in an orderly manner, including some people who used to be cunning and dishonest. They were either much more honest now or had been fired by Jingui, and efficiency increased a lot.
As for Ji Hebai, he would occasionally have dinner with Zhong Qiao, and the place for dinner was naturally Baihelou.
"Here, try this." Ji Hebai gave her a piece of meat with his chopsticks. "This is their signature dish."
Looking at the slices of meat on the chopsticks, Zhong Qiao really wanted to have eaten it, but looking at Ji Hebai's gentle eyes, he couldn't say the words of refusal. Pinching the fat on his belly, Zhong Qiao could only eat it with a feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to.
She had worked so hard to maintain her figure, but after being with Ji Hebai for some time, her waistline became thicker and thicker, and a layer of fat grew on her belly. If she didn't control herself, she would be like in her previous life.
"I've gained a lot of weight recently." Zhong Qiao held her face in her hands and complained, "Why aren't you fat?"
Zhong Qiao has always been a serious person. This was the first time Ji Hebai saw her so childlike. He couldn't help but smile: "It's too hard in the army, so you eat a lot and consume a lot. If you are afraid of getting fat, I can accompany you to run."
When Zhong Qiao heard about exercising, his legs went weak: "No, I'd rather take a walk."
She has never liked sports since she was a child, and she would feel pain here and there when she ran. If losing weight requires both dieting and exercise, then Zhong Qiao would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
Ji Hebai didn't force her, but just put meat in her bowl. After she finished eating, he served her a bowl of lotus root slices and meatball soup.
Zhong Qiao was busy eating. For some reason, Ji Hebai seemed to be very keen on feeding her. He would bring her snacks every time they met, including the previous few meetings.
After dinner, Ji Hebai sent her home. The car was parked at the door as usual. Zhong Qiao opened the door and was about to get out when suddenly a figure flew out from the corner.
Before she could react, Zhong Xiaohua half-knelt on the ground, grabbing the corner of her clothes.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, please help me. I'm really desperate and that's why I came to you. My parents want to sell me to that devil. If I marry him, I will definitely suffer a lot."
Zhong Qiao was about to speak, but the next second, Ji Hebai stood between them and picked up Zhong Xiaohua.
"It's you."
He obviously recognized the girl who was present when his child was almost stolen.
"Why are you haunting me?"
He was really puzzled. He had told her clearly before not to disturb Zhong Qiao's family. The girl looked heartbroken but did not refute, so he took it as her consent. Unexpectedly, not long after, the girl stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.
No one knew how long she had been guarding from morning to night. Her face was pale and blue at this moment, but she still held on to the corner of Zhong Qiao's clothes tightly and refused to let go, as if this was the last straw.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. You're the only one I know. If it were any other time, I wouldn't bother Sister Zhong Qiao. But this is about my life. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone like this. If that's the case, I might as well just die."
A hint of despair surged across Zhong Xiaohua's face, a dull and lifeless paleness.
She was locked up at home by her mother for three days and three nights. Because she disagreed with the marriage, she was beaten severely. If Zhong Xiang had not deliberately ridiculed her, giving her the opportunity to escape, she would probably have been sent to the butcher's bed in Liujia Village overnight.
How could she not be afraid?
"Why don't you just die?" Zhong Qiao sneered and suddenly interrupted her, "Then just go and die."
These words seemed like a thorn that pierced deeply into Zhong Xiaohua's heart. She looked at Zhong Qiao in disbelief, but when she saw Zhong Qiao's serious expression, Zhong Xiaohua slowly accepted this fact from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay." Zhong Xiaohua forced a bleak smile and looked at the stone pillar beside her. A fire inexplicably rose in her heart, a mixture of anger and despair. "I'm going to die now."
Since everyone wants her to die, then she might as well die.
Zhong Xiaohua exerted force on her feet, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and suddenly, with lightning speed, she plunged headfirst into the stone pillar next to her!
