A short while later, the person came out.
"How was it? How was it?" the crowd asked incessantly.
The young woman was still a bit dazed and stammered, "President Tang gave me a raise of one thousand."
Before he finished speaking, an older employee went in, and soon after he came out, looking dejected.
"damn it."
With a loud slap, he was struck on the head. Yuan Biao glared at him fiercely: "What kind of shit are you spouting?"
"No, no..."
His salary and termination notice were still in the hands of the person inside, so he dared not say anything more and hurriedly packed his things to leave.
Seeing his pathetic state, no one dared to go in again. Yuan Biao roared, and the crowd lined up and resignedly went in one by one.
When it was finally time for the two of them to go in, only Lü Jiao and President Xu remained. Yuan Biao waved for President Xu to go in.
Lu Jiao watched several former employees who were about to be laid off pack their things and leave, and she felt anxious. They would never see her get a promotion, a raise, or become the company's vice president; how regrettable that would be.
"Little brother~" Lu Jiao pushed Xu Zong aside, moved closer to Mo Huaixing, whose face was relatively gentle, and said in a coquettish tone, "My legs hurt, please let me in first."
"I'm going to have a smoke." Mo Huaixing told Yuan Biao without looking at her, and went straight out.
Yuan Biao looked at Lü Jiao and frowned: "Am I blind, you old man?"
"Oh, brother, I just..." Lü Jiao said, leaning against Yuan Biao.
Yuan Biao waved his hand dismissively, "It stinks, go away."
Having been rebuffed, Lü Jiao could only obediently wait to see President Xu go in.
The guests and hosts were separated in the room. Mr. Xu stood in front of the desk, pleading tremblingly, "Please, Mr. Tang, give me a chance to stay and work at the company. My wife and children are waiting for dinner at home."
On a nearby shelf sat a family photo of Mr. Xu, in which he held his child and embraced his wife, beaming with happiness. This was accompanied by his tearful pleas. If Gan Tang hadn't known the truth, she would have truly been deceived.
"Do you know why the company's plan went wrong?" Gan Tang asked.
"Because I wasn't serious, because I lacked experience in handling crisis events, because..."
Gan Tang interrupted his self-reflection and said calmly, "It was I who used 100,000 yuan to get Lü Jiao to change the final marketing plan."
The company was small, and General Manager Xu had never had an assistant. His mistress, Lü Jiao, naturally became his assistant for convenience. It was Lü Jiao who handed the launch plan to the organizers at the brand launch event that day.
"You, you..." Mr. Xu's hands trembled, but he tried his best to suppress it.
Gan Tang looked on with great satisfaction and asked with a smile, "President Xu shouldn't have any objections, after all, you once said the wise saying, 'Being able to steal is also a skill.'"
Hearing the familiar voice and words, President Xu subconsciously looked up. In front of him, President Tang was wearing a noblewoman's hat, large sunglasses, and bright red lips. Her appearance was very similar to the timid employee in his memory, but the imposing aura she exuded was so different.
It couldn't be her. Just look at that coat she's wearing; Gan Tang couldn't afford it even in ten lifetimes. It couldn't be her. President Xu rejected the guess and said, suppressing his anger, "Yes."
"Really?" Gan Tang asked again.
Lu Jiao stole his marketing plan and snatched the client. When she came to him, he mocked her, "Being able to steal is a skill; if you're so capable, you should steal too."
"Yes!" President Xu's dignity was repeatedly trampled upon, yet he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Alright!" Gan Tang leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "The salary is three thousand five hundred a month."
"Three thousand five?" Mr. Xu raised his voice for the first time. In this city, three thousand five hundred a month wouldn't even be enough for his family to eat.
Gan Tang smiled disdainfully: "Take it or leave it." These were the words he had once said to her, and now she was returning the insults one by one.
Mr. Xu didn't dare to say 'no' at all. If he left the company, Mr. Tang would sue him, and the house under his name would be auctioned off. At that time, he would really have to live on the streets with his family.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Mr. Tang. I will definitely work hard." Mr. Xu walked out of the office with a smile.
A loud slap rang out from outside the door. Lü Jiao, covering her face, walked in, looking aggrieved.
"Mr. Tang, I did all this for you!"
"Yeah?"
Gan Tang smiled and beckoned to her, then turned the laptop screen on the table towards her and gently pressed the pause button. The video of her secretly revising the plan started playing on the screen.
"If you hand this over to the court, how much will you be fined?"
"You ordered me to do it all." The victorious soldier was branded a traitor, leaving Lü Jiao stunned.
Gan Tang retorted, "What evidence do you have that I instructed you?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lü Jiao proudly took out her phone to show off: "I recorded it, and I have plenty of backups."
"Is that so?" Gan Tang sneered. "Check how many backups you have one by one and see if they're still there."
As he spoke, he tossed her laptop and several USB drives in front of her.
Lü Jiao hurriedly checked her backup in her cloud drive, but it was empty.
"You, you..." She hadn't expected anyone to be even more shameless than herself, and angrily asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Give me back the 200,000." She had given her 200,000 to get her to secretly change the plan. Although 200,000 could only buy two outfits for Gan Tang now, she still didn't want to give it to her.
Lü Jiao was clearly a little scared. "I bought clothes and bags, and now I have less than 50,000 yuan left."
"Okay, the rest will be deducted from your salary."
"Don't even think about it, I'm not doing this anymore!" Realizing she couldn't get any money, Lü Jiao turned and left.
"Okay, go home and wait for the court summons!"
With a casual threat, Lü Jiao lost her temper. If she lost the case, she would have to pay millions, and there was a high probability of losing. If it were a hundred or two hundred million, she wouldn't care; she couldn't earn that much in a lifetime anyway. But that was millions! She had just bought a new apartment in this city with a mortgage.
What if the house is gone?
Unable to contain her anger any longer, Lü Jiao roared at Gan Tang, "What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to pay me back, and then... work hard." Gan Tang tossed a form to Lü Jiao, which listed all of Lü Jiao's colleagues since she joined the company.
"Since you joined the company, what have you done to offend them? Think about it carefully, and give a report in front of everyone this afternoon. If you miss even one thing, you can expect a court summons."
"What?!" How could she possibly work here after doing something so shameful? Lu Jiao couldn't understand why the person in front of her was treating her like this, and she burst into tears, "Why are you doing this to me?"
"You're so forgetful, you'd better think about this carefully." Gan Tang adjusted her sunglasses, resisting the urge to take them off, and got up to leave.
"President Tang, President Tang," Lü Jiao blocked his way, trying to plead, "I will raise the money as soon as possible. Can you not say anything, or let me finish speaking before I resign?"
"I'm informing you, not discussing it with you." Gan Tang opened the door and walked out, leaving her crying and wailing in the room.
