Qu Jingyun's face was full of smugness, and he glanced at Shao Jingque with a gloating look, just waiting to see her crying and begging for mercy.
It's not that she didn't give Shao Jingque a chance, it's that Shao Jingque thought he had grown strong enough to ignore her, and he even went further and got involved with Yue Feiying to oppose her. Now he has to pay the price for opposing her!
Shao Jingque nodded calmly and said sincerely:
"Captain Liang, I'm sorry I've been away for so long. It must have caused a lot of trouble for the group's work. I apologize in advance for this."
"When I left, it was urgent and I didn't have time to ask for leave from you, so I asked a colleague to do it on my behalf. Although this may not be a safe approach, it proves that I didn't intend to leave without saying goodbye. My original intention was to take leave from my job."
She admitted her mistake as soon as she opened her mouth, and her attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere.
Under normal circumstances, Liang Jinchun probably wouldn't be too difficult. He would criticize when necessary and punish when necessary, and the matter would be over. It would never be as serious as expulsion.
But today...
Liang Jinchun's expression remained grim, and he snorted and scolded:
"Regardless of whether you had the subjective intention to leave without notice, as an employee of the art troupe, you must obtain approval from your superiors to request leave. Leaving your post without your superiors' approval is wrong!"
"Furthermore, if you're away from work for more than three days, you have to submit a paper leave application form and go through the formalities. How long did you say you were away?! You completely disregarded the rules and regulations. How audacious! Do you think you're so great just because you're the backbone of the art troupe?!"
Qu Jingyun felt relieved after hearing this scolding. As long as Liang Jinchun didn't listen to Shao Jingque's sophistry, Shao Jingque wouldn't be able to do anything.
Liang Jinchun's anger was within Shao Jingque's expectations, and as the leader of the troupe, what he said was correct. If everyone acted like her and "acted first and reported later", the work of the art troupe would not be able to proceed normally.
Shao Jingque honestly admitted his mistake and said:
"I'm sorry, Captain Liang. This incident is indeed my fault. I hope that the leadership will give me a chance to correct my mistake, considering that this was my first time making a mistake and it was an emergency. I will strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the group in the future and will resolutely not make the same mistake again."
When Qu Jingyun heard her begging for mercy, he immediately sneered:
"First mistake? How many times have you made mistakes since joining our group? How many chances have we given you? And yet, not only do you refuse to repent, you've become even more outrageous. That's why you're so brazen as to leave right away!"
"You're just saying it's an emergency and you think you can just brush it off? I'm telling you, it's impossible! What kind of emergency could you possibly have that involves lives? Even if I have to report to a funeral, I can't go back without my boss' approval!"
Qu Jingyun's words were so harsh that even Liang Jinchun couldn't help but frown, and at the same time, a thought arose in his mind -
What if Shao Jingque really went home to attend the funeral...
Then firing people would be a bit unreasonable, right?
Liang Jinchun glanced at Qu Jingyun calmly and said to Shao Jingque:
"Then tell me, what is your reason for leaving your job?"
Shao Jingque just thought she had heard a dog barking, and didn't even think of Qu Jingyun. She calmly took out a paper certificate from her bag and handed it to Liang Jinchun's desk:
"Captain Liang, this is a certificate issued to me by Section Chief Yao from the Political Department of the 718th Unit of the Ning City Garrison. I received a call from him from the unit, informing me that my partner was in danger while on a mission in Henan Province and urgently needed brain surgery. He also requested that his family members rush to the military district and go to the Henan Provincial Military District Hospital with the troops."
"It was Xiao Wang from the reception room who came to the rehearsal room and asked me to answer the phone. He can testify for me that the call was indeed from the army, and I left the art troupe only after I received the call."
"I've been staying at the Henan Provincial Military District Hospital these days. The doctors and nurses there can testify for me. You can also call the Ningshi Military District Political Department or the Henan Provincial Military District Hospital for verification."
Ningshi Military Region Political Department... Henan Provincial Military Region Hospital...
The two units mentioned by Shao Jingque are not at the same administrative level as the Ning City Art Troupe. Liang Jinchun instinctively felt awe just by hearing the names.
He looked down at the paper certificate in his hand, which was a long and eloquent document. In addition to describing the whole incident in detail, he also spent a lot of time mentioning that it was not easy for military families. He hoped that local units would treat military families well. He also said that if anyone had any questions, he could come to explain it in person for Shao Jingque.
The more Liang Jinchun read, the more astonished she became. It turned out that Shao Jingque's partner was actually a battalion commander of the 718th Army, a hero in the flood relief efforts in Henan Province, and the person who wrote her the letter of recommendation was the head of the Cadre Section of the Political Department of the Ningshi Military Region...
Seeing these words on the letter of certification, Liang Jinchun secretly felt relieved.
Fortunately, he didn't go straight to the point and say that he wanted to fire Shao Jingque, otherwise it would be difficult to end now!
Qu Jingyun was stunned when she heard this. She never dreamed that Shao Jingque would have a certificate issued by the military district in his hand. She couldn't wait to walk to Captain Liang and stared at the certificate in disbelief, her eyes so sharp that it seemed as if she wanted to see a hole in the paper.
Liang Jinchun's mind was working quickly. With Shao Jingque's proof, those rumors would be self-defeating, and he no longer had to worry about them reaching the ears of provincial leaders. He immediately felt relieved.
Thinking of this, his expression relaxed a lot, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke in a gentle voice:
"Okay, I already know what happened. If necessary, I will verify it with the relevant departments."
"But Xiao Shao, you still bear the primary responsibility for this matter. If you want to blame someone, blame your young age and panic when things go wrong. If you had explained the reason clearly when you asked for leave in the first place, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."
Misunderstand?!
When Qu Jingyun heard Liang Jinchun say this, he suddenly became anxious.
Liang Jinchun didn't care what she thought at this time, and said with concern:
"By the way, Xiao Shao, how is your family doing now?"
Listening to Captain Liang's tone, it seemed that this matter should be over. Shao Jingque was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face:
"Thank you, Captain Liang, for your concern. The operation was very successful. He is now out of danger and in the recovery stage. That's why I hurried back to report."
Liang Jinchun frowned:
"If you leave like this, will there be anyone to take care of him? Do you want to..."
"Captain Liang—"
Qu Jingyun suddenly let out a sharp and piercing scream, which scared Liang Jinchun.
All I heard was Qu Jingyun gnashing his teeth and saying unwillingly:
"We can't just let this go! Shao Jingque isn't a military family member at all!"
