Chapter 69: Some are happy, some are sad
In Jiahe Bund Community, Yang Ruoqian’s house is brightly lit.
Bang! The sound of dishes and chopsticks being put down on the table expressed someone's extreme dissatisfaction.
"What are you doing? You just changed into pajamas." Yang Ruoqian picked up the bowl and chopsticks, trying not to laugh. "You can't wear that to eat. If it gets dirty, it will take a lifetime to clean it."
Chang Zhiqing was so angry that she couldn't even eat: "Then you wouldn't have changed your clothes as soon as you got back!"
She hadn't seen enough, but the man came back and changed her! What's the point? She might as well continue shopping in the mall.
"Why, you seem to like this outfit very much?" Yang Ruoqian cleared his throat, "Looking at the speed at which you buy things, I don't believe you haven't been planning this for a long time."
An hour and a half of shopping seemed like a long torture to Yang Ruoqian, but to Chang Zhiqing, it was probably the speed of light.
Chang Zhiqing replied unhappily: "Hurry up and eat your food!"
Yang Ruoqian followed suit, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and scooped a bowl of cordyceps soup for Chang Zhiqing, pushing it to her hand: "Don't be angry, drink the soup."
Yang Ruoqian was a little embarrassed to always eat at other people's houses and watch them busying around. So he took some time to learn how to make soup, so that he could at least help out when cooking.
"It looks good." Chang Zhiqing picked up the spoon, blew on it gently, and hesitated to take a bite. Her eyes were always on Yang Ruoqian, "I wonder how it tastes?"
Yang Ruoqian buried his head in his food and replied vaguely, "You'll know after you try it."
Chang Zhiqing pinched the spoon and put the hot soup into her mouth. After a few seconds, she praised: "Not bad, is this your first time making soup?"
"How could this be your first time making soup?" Yang Ruoqian laughed and shook his head, "I must have practiced it a few times before I dared to bring it to you, otherwise I'm afraid I'd poison you to death."
Chang Zhiqing put down the soup spoon and commented: "The only drawback is that it's too hot. It's too difficult to drink it in one gulp."
"How can being too hot be a flaw in the soup?" Yang Ruoqian blurted out, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The soup is too hot, can't you just let it cool down a bit? No, what's wrong with this girl today? She keeps saying weird things.
Chang Zhiqing didn't respond. She stirred the soup with a spoon, neither speaking nor eating. After a long while, she put down the spoon. Her delicate face was full of approval: "You're right. How can the soup being too hot be a flaw?"
That's a human shortcoming.
After a strange conversation, the two of them buried their heads in their food.
After more than 20 minutes, the two of them had cleared the table. Yang Ruoqian helped put the dishes into the dishwasher and waved to Chang Zhiqing.
"Let's go, see you next week, have a good rest this weekend!"
Watching his leaving back, Chang Zhiqing sighed in her heart: "See you next week, see you next week..."
Just when Chang Zhiqing thought that today would be the same as countless other afternoons, with only the sound of the door closing, Yang Ruoqian's voice suddenly came into her ears: "Do you like seeing me in that outfit?"
"Oh, yes." Chang Zhiqing replied subconsciously.
After a few seconds, she realized what she had said, and her eyes immediately flashed with panic: "Ah no, I mean..."
Yang Ruoqian didn't hear clearly what Chang Zhiqing was trying to hide, and responded, "Okay, I'll try to wear that outfit to work in the future. Let's go."
With a bang, the door was closed gently.
But Chang Zhiqing was petrified on the spot.
Wait, what did the landlord just say? He said that I should try to wear that outfit when I go to work?!
Huh? Could it be that this man finally got it?
Chang Zhiqing in the room couldn't help but stand up, and the panic in her eyes turned into surprise!
She even felt that her happy mood would infect her throughout the weekend!
…
Some are happy while others are sad. Some people are enjoying the weekend at home, but some are overwhelmed by their own mess.
Sunday should be the most relaxing day of the week, but the atmosphere in Yuefu Group was terribly quiet.
After the first broadcast was declared a complete failure, Lin Cao still held on to a last glimmer of hope. He asked the entire studio to work overtime on Saturday, gambled everything, and invested huge amounts of resources in Hu Yiqun again, hoping to make a comeback.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.
Due to the collapse of word-of-mouth, boring live broadcast content, and diminishing marginal returns caused by two consecutive days of high-intensity promotion, Hu Yiqun's second live broadcast performance was even worse, and the number of fans could hardly increase!
Of course, in order to make the data look less ugly, Lin Cao created some fake fans, so that the total number of Hu Yiqun's fans broke through 100,000, trying to save the last bit of face.
But these false data can only deceive those who don't know much. Any viewer who can look at the contribution list can tell how much water is mixed in the number of fans from the payment rate and the number of VIPs.
The most important thing is that these data cannot deceive your immediate superior.
His superiors are quite dissatisfied with Lin Cao because the company has been unable to produce top anchors and the average career lifespan of all anchors is below average.
After letting go of Ruan Min'er, who had the potential to become a top anchor, this dissatisfaction had its first outburst.
The implication of the warning that time was actually very clear - if he failed to achieve results again, he would be demoted and transferred to another position.
However, compared with the mess that had been caused this time, letting Ruan Min'er go seemed so insignificant.
After all, driving Ruan Min'er away did not affect other people.
The behavior of forcing Hu Yiqin to support her had already caused strong dissatisfaction among many anchors. Her failure made such dissatisfaction reach a peak, and some angry anchors vented their emotions directly in the live broadcast room, which made the already bad reputation of Yuefu Guild even worse.
Fire excellent employees, ruin the company's reputation, and cause huge losses to the company...
No one can stand these three "charges"!
"Brother Lin, what should we do?" Even Lin Cao's closest confidant felt the situation was precarious, and his voice couldn't stop shaking.
If Lin Cao fell, his life would never be easy!
"No, it's okay. I'll treat the leader to a meal and a drink, apologize and give gifts, and smooth over the relationship... It shouldn't be a big problem?"
Lin Cao knew very well that this disaster would not be easy to overcome, so he planned to spend a lot of money to buy a pack of Huazi and a bottle of Maozi so that his boss could eat and drink well. As long as he was not demoted, everything would be fine.
Ding ding ding! The phone rang suddenly, and Lin Cao shuddered with fright.
The person who could call him at this time must be his boss! Lin Cao suppressed his fear, picked up the phone, and said in a flattering tone: "Boss, how come you have time to call me? You need to have a good rest on Sunday..."
"Come to my office, now."
"You worked overtime on Sunday..."
Lin Cao wanted to continue to flatter him.
Unfortunately, I heard a busy tone as the phone was hung up.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Seeing the leader's cold reaction, without even a word of reply, Lin Cao's heart sank immediately.
It would be fine if the boss directly scolded and reprimanded you. The worst outcome would be demotion and salary cut, but at least you can keep your job.
But it seems that this is not a good idea. The result he will get is probably not a demotion, but a dismissal! When Lin Cao thought of this possibility, he was numb. He finally got the position of agent manager. He thought it was the beginning of his life, but he didn't expect it to be the peak of his life. "Brother Lin, what did they say?" The subordinate asked worriedly.
Lin Cao shook his head grimly and walked straight towards the elevator.
The offices of senior management were not on their floor.
Arriving at the leadership floor, Lin Cao took a deep breath, controlled his expression, and slowly calmed his emotions.
After getting ready, he pushed open the office door and smiled flatteringly: "Leader, look..."
"I must admit that it was my fault in promoting you to this position." The leader looked down at the report with a cold tone, "Now I plan to correct this mistake."
Fix this mistake!
Change it, change it...
Lin Cao's blood ran cold, and he could only hold up the last bit of strength in his body and said reluctantly: "Leader, I..."
"You are fired. The HR department is closed today. You should go and process your resignation tomorrow." The leader's voice was calm, but there was no doubt about the content of his words.
Fired, really fired?!
I have worked in the company for so many years and finally got to this position, but I was fired just because I made two mistakes?
"So, there's no room for turning back?"
After all, it is a high-paying job, so Lin Cao is still making his last struggle.
However, the leader did not say another word and just lowered his head to review various reports.
Lin Cao was in despair.
There is no hope.
"Then, let's settle the compensation for my salary." After making sure there was no possibility of staying, Lin Cao let out a long sigh, and wiped away the flattery and ugliness on his face.
The leader looked up and asked in confusion: "What salary compensation?"
Since he was no longer his boss, Lin Cao was too lazy to pretend to be his grandson and said coldly: "I have worked for eight years. According to n+1, the company should compensate me with nine months' salary."
"Cao Lin, you've been working for eight years, but I didn't expect you to be so naive." The leader made a mocking sound.
childish?
Does that mean you don’t want to give me n+1? “If you don’t give me, I will…”
"Go ahead and sue me."
Lin Cao was so angry that he almost wanted to punch his boss: "Do you think I can't win the lawsuit?"
"No, you will definitely win the lawsuit."
Lin Cao immediately knew what his leader was planning.
The tactic of procrastination!
The compensation can be delayed as long as possible. Even if the defendant loses in the end, Lin Cao will probably have to waste more than half a year in defending his rights.
During this period, you will be summoned to various places and have to run around everywhere, which is not only tiring and troublesome, but will also delay the progress of finding a new job.
Many people have to give up defending their rights for this reason.
"Do you have to be so ruthless?" Lin Cao, who was kicked out of the house and ruthlessly humiliated, was so angry that he was about to lose his mind!
As a listed company, doesn’t it need these little things? Why does it have to make things so difficult for its employees?
I've worked for eight years. Even if I haven't made any achievements, I've worked hard, right?
What's more, he obviously made contributions.
Two consecutive failures were indeed a huge loss, but the profits he had made for the company in the previous eight years were much more than that. But now the company was unwilling to pay even a few months' salary.
In just a few words, Lin Cao's attitude towards Yuefu Group changed from reluctance to hatred! "Oh, I almost forgot." The leader took a sip of water slowly, "By the way, notify Hu Yiqin, both of you get out of the company together."
