Chapter 30 Obey the Company's Arrangements
These words, seemingly meant to help Qiao Xing, actually exposed all of Qiao Xing's secrets.
As expected, as soon as he said that, all the other colleagues in the department looked at Qiao Xing in surprise.
"Husband? Qiao Xing, you and Lin Yu got married?" Zhang Xue was the first to speak. As everyone knows, Zhang Xue is the best at gossip.
"Isn't the focus supposed to be on her driving her boyfriend to work? I don't understand what you mean. Qiao Xing, how did you drive him? Did you buy a car?"
"When did you get married? How come we didn't even know?"
With everyone talking at once, Qiao Xing didn't know where to begin answering the questions.
Supervisor He interrupted everyone, "Alright, it's working hours now, get back to work!"
After saying that, she looked at Qiao Xing again, "Qiao Xing, I shouldn't interfere in your private life, but if your private life affects your work, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Qiao Xing nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I promise it won't happen again."
Manager He said nothing more, turned around and walked towards her office, and Wu Yun quickly followed.
As soon as the two left, Zhang Xue immediately slid over in her chair. "Qiao Xing, what's going on? Is it true that you're married?"
Qiao Xing nodded, knowing what Zhang Xue was going to ask next, "Yes, but not with Lin Yu."
"Come on, I heard what Manager Wu said. Your current husband is not as good as Lin Yu. At least Lin Yu used to pick you up from get off work. Why do you have to drive him now?"
"It's hard to explain in a short time, let's go to work first."
Qiao Xing didn't want to discuss these things with her. Zhang Xue just wanted to satisfy her own gossip and didn't really care about her.
Meanwhile, after Wu Yun arrived at Supervisor He's office, the two closed the door, and Supervisor He asked bluntly, "Old Wu, what do you need me for?"
Wu Yun sat down in the chair and smiled, "I just came to talk to you about Qiao Xing."
"What's wrong with her?" Manager He sat down as well.
"I saw her riding her electric scooter to drop her husband off this morning, and then she was late for work, right?"
Manager He frowned. "And then? What exactly are you trying to say?"
"What I mean is, look at her, she secretly got married and she's so good to her husband, she's even late to take him to work, don't you notice anything wrong?"
"Just say what you have to say," Manager He said, not wanting to beat around the bush.
Wu Yun sighed, "Alright, then I'll be blunt. Once a woman gets married, the next step is definitely to have a child, right? Let's not talk about the child for now."
"You know Qiao Xing's job duties. If she's frequently late or takes leave, won't she use her position to manipulate the attendance records?"
Manager He paused for a moment, then looked at Wu Yun and said, "She shouldn't be that kind of person."
Wu Yun found it somewhat amusing: "Whether she is that kind of person or not, you really shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. You can check her attendance records. Let me tell you about two other people; check their attendance records from last month."
Manager He stared at Wu Yun for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Do you and her have some kind of grudge?"
Wu Yun was slightly taken aback. "What are you saying? I'm just trying to be helpful, and you're starting to doubt me."
Supervisor He said, "I know you're talking about attendance. We're all just employees. These things are best kept quiet between you and me. There's no need to bring them up. Haven't you asked her to do these things before?"
Wu Yun choked for a moment.
In fact, most people have managed to exploit the two-hour leave rule, especially the higher-ups who have perfect attendance records, including Manager He. These are all unspoken secrets.
Moreover, even if the company finds out, they won't say anything. After all, it's only two hours a month, so there's no need to be too strict.
However, Wu Yun bringing this up at this time clearly indicates that he has a grudge against Qiao Xing.
Wu Yun sighed, and she stopped pretending. "Alright, Lao He, we've known each other for so long, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. I just don't like her. She's just a lowly administrative assistant, your department doesn't need another one, right?"
Her meaning was clear: she wanted Supervisor He to find a way to fire Qiao Xing.
Manager He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Although I don't know what grudge you have against her, there's no reason to fire her so easily. If you want to vent your anger, I can transfer her to your department. You can decide for yourself."
Wu Yun suddenly laughed, "It has to be you, you don't want to be a bad guy at all. Fine, transfer her to my department, you don't need to worry about anything else."
Qiao Xing's eyelids kept twitching while she was at work. She kept glancing at the supervisor's office. Wu Yun had been there for so long, and she wondered if he was talking about her.
Wu Yun must hold a grudge against her because of the attendance issue.
About half an hour later, Wu Yun came out of the office. As she passed Qiao Xing's workstation, she gave her a meaningful smile.
Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile.
As expected, Manager He called her when it was almost time to leave work in the afternoon.
Qiao Xing nervously arrived at the supervisor's office. Supervisor He was flipping through documents, and Qiao Xing caught a glimpse of the attendance record in her hand.
"Manager He, you wanted to see me?"
Manager He closed the file and gave Qiao Xing a very official smile. "You're here. Have a seat."
After Qiao Xing sat down, Manager He spoke earnestly, "Qiao Xing, it's like this, the higher-ups suggested to me that our department has too many people, and you know the company isn't doing well right now."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing's heart sank; her ominous premonition had come true.
"So, what does Manager He mean?"
Manager He said, "I think so too. Actually, our department doesn't have that much work to do. Two people can finish all of these things, but everyone has been with me for so long, and I'm reluctant to let any of them go."
Qiao Xing remained silent, waiting quietly for Manager He to finish speaking.
"So I discussed it with other departments and decided to reassign some of our staff to other departments."
Qiao Xing understood after hearing this; it seemed that Supervisor He was going to transfer her to another department.
"So, which department do you plan to transfer me to?"
Manager He pondered for a moment and said, "The sales department, what do you think? They're short-staffed."
An answer that was not surprising at all.
Qiao Xing guessed from the first sentence that Supervisor He said that he had called her here either to fire her or to transfer her to Wu Yun.
Qiao Xing forced a smile, "I will follow the company's arrangements."
Manager He smiled and said, "Although the sales department is not as relaxed as the administration department, as long as you perform well, the salary is still quite considerable. So don't be discouraged. Young people should work hard. It would be good for you to go and learn more."
Listening to these official pleasantries, Qiao Xing maintained her smile and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will certainly live up to Supervisor He's expectations."
