Zhong Rou took the subway back to her dorm. Jiang Jiaqi was putting on a face mask and asked, "Hey, Rou Rou, didn't you go out for a business dinner? You're back so soon? You spoke so ill of Manager Shi, and yet he took you to that business dinner? That doesn't make sense."
Zhong Rou lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and recounted in detail what had happened that night.
“No wonder…” Jiang Jiaqi suddenly understood, “Manager Shi is too insidious, he actually used such a dirty trick.”
He paused for a moment, then said, "Rou Rou, with all this happening tonight, you're probably out of a job."
"Whatever," Zhong Rou said, not taking it to heart.
She can easily find a job if she wants to, and even if she can't, she can make a good living by running a small business.
She has that confidence.
She sighed, "Why is it so hard to just have a normal job?"
She suddenly realized that going to work was even harder than running her own business.
Running your own business gives you choices, but working for someone else means enduring a lot of pressure and having to do things you don't want to do.
“That’s just how work is,” Jiang Jiaqi said. “None of us are born into wealth. If we had a choice, who would want to work?”
Zhong Rou sat up: "No, I have to change my work style, I have to start my own business."
Jiang Jiaqi: "Start a business?"
“Yes!” Zhong Rou nodded. “I want to start my own company, which will be responsible for investment and will stir up trouble in the financial market. I want to become a financial tycoon.”
During this period, Zhong Rou devoted herself wholeheartedly to a lot of work and learned some inside stories and experiences of how financial companies operate. Although she still only knew a tiny fraction of what she knew, she couldn't wait until she had everything ready before starting the company, as that would not be ideal.
After so many years in business, she has come to understand one thing: it is impossible for a person to be 100% prepared for everything in the future.
... ...
The next day, Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi arrived at Qifu Venture Capital. As soon as they entered the company, they saw General Manager Li and Manager Shi standing there.
Manager Shi's tone was full of smugness: "Zhong Rou, I'm officially informing you that you're being fired."
Just as he had predicted, Zhong Rou had a fiery temper. When faced with unreasonable customers, she couldn't suppress her emotions and would clash at them. President Li wouldn't protect Zhong Rou either.
"How will the compensation be calculated?" Zhong Rou was not surprised.
"You've offended our clients, causing our company to lose business, and you still want compensation?" Manager Shi jumped up, "Dream on!"
"Then I'll go to the arbitration committee."
Manager Shi was about to speak when General Manager Li raised his hand and said, "Zhong Rou, I'll give you a chance. Go apologize to the client in person and get their forgiveness, then I won't fire you."
"no."
The word 'apology' doesn't exist in her vocabulary.
Zhong Rou's philosophy of life is: "I was wrong, why are you watching me make a mistake? No, it's not my fault, why should I apologize?"
I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong, so why should I apologize?
"I remember you're Zhong Rou's friend, right?" President Li turned to look at Jiang Jiaqi. "I'm sorry, you've been fired too."
Jiang Jiaqi opened her mouth wide: "Huh?"
She never expected to be implicated as well.
Zhong Rou frowned deeply: "You guys are really insidious."
“That client is very important to our company.” Mr. Li said earnestly, “Please, for the sake of the company and as friends, apologize to the client.”
However, Zhong Rou still gave the same answer: "I refuse. It's your right to fire me, but it's your obligation to pay compensation. Transfer the compensation money to both of our accounts, otherwise I will go to arbitration."
After saying that, Zhong Rou went into the company to pack her personal belongings.
Jiang Jiaqi knew she was implicated by Zhong Rou, and she also knew her friend's temper; once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.
Knowing there was no way to salvage the situation, she sighed and had no choice but to pack her belongings and leave with Zhong Rou.
The two packed their belongings and then left the company.
Manager Shi, with an unstoppable smile on his face, said, "Zhong Rou, this is your first lesson in entering society: learn to be humble."
"You can't lower yourself even a little bit! Not everyone can lower their head to their crotch like you. That's a skill, impressive!" Zhong Rou gave a thumbs up. "If you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be a master pimp."
Pfft...
The people in the office couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After saying that, Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi left Kaifu Ventures with the cardboard box in their arms.
Manager Shi's face turned ashen, and his gaze swept around the room, causing the employees in the department to stop smiling.
Manager Shi said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you, you need to know your place in the company. You'd better be aware of your position, otherwise you'll end up like Zhong Rou!"
Upon seeing Manager Shi enter the office, many colleagues whispered among themselves:
"The pimp is angry."
"The pimp is too petty and can't tolerate others saying anything bad about him."
"Oh! Rou Rou is gone, my heart aches so much."
"That's right. Now that Zhong Rou is gone, there's no one in the department to draw the pimps' attention, so it's our turn next."
"What's the point of this lousy job?"
"This is boring!"
“... ..."
Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi carried their suitcases downstairs. Zhong Rou looked back at the building and made a promise: "I will never work again in my life!"
She'd had enough of what it was like to work under someone else.
Jiang Jiaqi said with a wry smile, "Rou Rou, you can still run a small business even if you don't work, but if I don't work, I can't even afford to eat."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have played with you, and I wouldn't have gotten involved."
"From now on, we're really not familiar with each other."
Zhong Rou withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Jiang Jiaqi asked.
“I ruined your job, it’s my fault. I’ll find you a job.” Zhong Rou, carrying the cardboard box, didn’t get on the subway, but headed towards another tall building.
"Huh?" Jiang Jiaqi was surprised.
