When it came time to pay the bill, Wu Manni's heart trembled. But then she thought that if she went out to find another lawyer, not to mention the question of whether the confidentiality would be maintained, the fee would definitely be more expensive than this meal.
I need to make some plans when I get home.
The next day, Wu Manni arrived at the company and held the morning meeting as usual. However, today Wu Manni not only looked pale, but also coughed incessantly while speaking.
Everyone thought she had caught a cold.
It wasn't until I saw a red stain on the tissue that Wu Manni was coughing with her mouth covered that I realized what was happening.
"Oh dear! Mr. Wu, why are you coughing up blood?"
Wu Manni pretended to glance at the tissue, then quickly stuffed it into her pocket.
"Ahem, that's all for today's meeting. I have something to attend to, so I'll head out for a bit."
Then, everyone saw Wu Manni quickly walk out of the company with her bag.
That's normal. Anyone who coughs up blood should go to the hospital immediately.
In the afternoon, someone saw Wu Manni carrying a hospital plastic bag back to her office.
Office gossip is strange. If someone tells you something openly, you might not believe it. But if someone is doing something secretly and cautiously, and it gets discovered, then it must be true and it will spread quickly.
Soon, the entire Tencent Games division knew that Wu Manni was sick.
As the rumors spread, somehow it became known that Wu Manni had cancer, and that it was already in its late stages.
The news spread quickly and reached Little Ma's ears.
Little Ma patted his secretary's butt.
"Go and secretly find out if Wu Manni is really sick."
The secretary straightened her pencil skirt, went to the game division, and talked to a few employees to get some information.
The results were all increasingly serious.
The first person's account was more plausible; they said that Wu Manni coughed up blood during the meeting, and everyone in the meeting saw it.
The second one directly said that Wu Manni fainted during a meeting and had to be taken away by an ambulance.
The third one is even more outrageous: it is said that Wu Manni's cancer diagnosis was accidentally left in the conference room and seen by others.
The secretary's lips twitched. Who in their right mind would bring a medical report to the meeting room?
Finally, the secretary thought it best to just ask the person involved directly.
So he went to Wu Manni's office.
"Hello, Mr. Wu."
"Hello, Secretary Xiaomei. Does Mr. Ma have any instructions?"
The secretary glanced at Wu Manni's desk and noticed a bottle of medicine called apatinib mesylate tablets.
"It's nothing, Mr. Ma just sent me to ask about the development progress of the new game."
"The new game is currently facing some patent issues, and we are still trying to resolve them, but we will definitely work hard to get things done."
"Okay, then I'll head back now."
After leaving Wu Manni's office, the secretary took out her phone and searched for the drug. She found that it was a cancer treatment drug, and that it was commonly used to treat cancer.
So she quickly returned to Little Ma's office.
“Mr. Ma, I’ve found out. Wu Manni most likely has cancer, and it’s probably in its late stage.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
The secretary recounted in detail to Little Ma what she had just asked and what she had seen.
After listening, Brother Ma pondered for a long time.
Then he picked up the landline and called Wu Manni.
"Mr. Wu, please come to my office for a moment."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Manni smiled, then took out her makeup bag and touched up her makeup to make her complexion look even worse.
Afterwards, Wu Manni went to Little Ma's office.
"Mr. Ma, you wanted to see me?"
"Mr. Wu, please have a seat. Xiao Mei, go and pour Mr. Wu a cup of tea."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma."
"Mr. Wu, I called you here today mainly because I heard you weren't feeling well and wanted to check on you."
"Mr. Ma, I'm fine, it's just a little cold."
After saying this, Wu Manni couldn't help but cough.
"Mr. Wu, you're feeling quite unwell with this cold. Have you thought about going home and resting for a few days?"
“Mr. Ma, the development of the new game is still at a critical stage. As the person in charge, I can’t let things fall apart. If I take leave, my employees will be even less motivated to work.”
Perhaps because she was too excited, Wu Manni started coughing violently. She took a piece of paper out of her bag and covered her mouth.
After a coughing fit, Little Ma vaguely saw the red liquid seeping from the paper.
Wu Manni quickly stuffed the paper back into her pocket.
"Then Mr. Wu, you can go ahead and get busy. Take care and get some rest."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Mr. Ma."
After Wu Manni left, Brother Ma asked his secretary, Xiao Mei, who was standing next to him.
"Xiaomei, what do you think?"
“Mr. Ma, she must be very ill. Look, she’s coughing up blood.”
"Yes, I think so too. We should notify the HR department and have them talk to Wu Manni about her resignation. It would be too unlucky if she suddenly died at the company one day."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The next day, the HR department went to Wu Manni's office to talk to her about leaving the company.
Then, those outside heard loud arguing and constant coughing coming from inside.
About half an hour later, the HR staff opened the door and spoke to Wu Manni.
"Mr. Wu, I hope you are in good health. I'll take my leave now."
"Get out! How could you treat me like this! I've contributed so much to the company, and you just fire me like that! I'm going to sue you!"
Afterwards, HR came to Little Ma's office to report.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Wu has already signed the resignation agreement."
"Hmm, good, well done. What was her reaction?"
"Mr. Wu was very agitated and said that he had made many contributions to the group and was going to sue our group."
"Hmph, does she really think we Nanshan Invincible is just a name for nothing? Alright, ignore her."
"Yes, Mr. Ma,"
As they left Little Ma's office, HR realized they had forgotten to tell Mr. Ma that Wu Manni refused to sign the non-compete agreement.
Forget it, I already have cancer, why bother with non-compete agreements?
After packing her things, Wu Manni left the company alone, looking quite forlorn.
Everyone else in the company who saw this couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads.
"This company is so heartless. Mr. Wu is so seriously ill, and they just fire him like that."
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Does the company have to spend money on her treatment? It would be fine if she could be cured, but this disease is incurable."
"That's true, but Mr. Wu is really a pitiful person."
After taking the elevator to the underground parking garage, Wu Manni still looked worried until she got into her car.
