Chapter 11 Dismissal
"So...are you considered to be no longer single?"
During afternoon tea time, after listening to Lin You and Cheng Hao's blind date experience, Chen Lingling asked a question uncertainly.
Lin You took a sip of coffee. After the bitter taste melted away from the tip of his tongue, a slight sweetness emerged.
"Uh... probably not. We just agreed that if our parents ask about the progress, we'll just give each other a perfunctory answer."
Chen Lingling looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "So drama really is based on real life. I watched an idol drama a while ago where the female lead and the male lead, who she was dating, agreed to be in a relationship, and then it turned into real life and they became a couple."
After a pause, Chen Lingling winked at her.
"From what you said, Cheng Hao has both financial resources and a good personality. Besides being divorced and having a five-year-old daughter, he's a perfect marriage partner. So, you and him..."
Lin You said without hesitation: "Impossible."
Chen Lingling retracted the stars in dismay, "Oh, boring. You really are a boring person."
Lin You: “…”
Chen Lingling sighed deeply, "What a shame! You have the face of the nation's first love for nothing. If I were half as pretty as you, I'd have to sleep with a little wolfdog every week!"
Lin You twitched the corners of his mouth and looked around guiltily.
Seeing that her colleagues were far away and probably couldn't hear the fierce words Chen Lingling had just said, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her timid look, Chen Lingling laughed exaggeratedly, "Don't worry, I only dare to say this in front of you..."
The phone rang, interrupting Chen Lingling's words.
Seeing that it was the department leader calling, Chen Lingling made a gesture to Lin You to keep quiet before pressing the call button.
Lin You watched the smile on Chen Lingling's face disappear bit by bit, and then a shocked expression appeared on her face.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lingling excitedly grabbed Lin You's shoulders, shook them like crazy, and almost broke her voice with excitement.
"Xiaoyou! Manager Wang is fired!"
Lin You looked confused. "Finance Department?"
Chen Lingling nodded repeatedly, "It's that pervert in the Finance Department! It's true karma, this time the group's leadership has finally opened their eyes and seen the filthiest piece of shit in the company!"
At this moment, many colleagues were taking a break in the tea room, and Chen Lingling was so excited that her voice was very loud.
When several female colleagues heard what she said, they ran over and surrounded her.
"Manager Wang from the Finance Department was fired? Is that true?"
"Is this fake news? His cousin is the director of the group. Who would dare to fire him?"
"That's right. So many people reported him before, but he always dealt with it. Will this time be just a lot of noise but little action?"
The female colleagues asked at once, and the expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent.
Excited, doubtful, and nervous.
"Absolutely true news!"
Chen Lingling cleared her throat and announced, "The dismissal documents signed by President Shi have arrived at the Human Resources Department. The leader has asked me to handle the personnel change process!"
She waved to Lin You again, "I'm leaving first."
Lin You responded and watched her trot into the elevator.
The news of Manager Wang being fired spread quickly throughout the entire building, and even the cleaning ladies would whisper a few words to each other while cleaning the windows.
After Lin You returned to his workstation, he opened the internal announcement group and saw the notification of personnel changes with his own eyes.
It is dismissal, not automatic resignation.
Her eyes fell on the notice, and the hand holding the mouse trembled slightly. She couldn't describe the feeling.
It’s like an orchid that I’ve carefully raised for ten years has already died, but I was reluctant to throw it away. But one morning, when I woke up, I saw it had sprouted new buds.
With this mood, she waited until the end of the day in a daze.
While I was packing my things, a message came in on my phone.
She opened the chat window and saw the sender's profile picture, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Shi Jingyuan: Don't you still owe me a meal? You can thank me on behalf of all the female employees.
This was the first time they had contacted each other since they added each other as friends.
So this sentence is displayed abruptly at the top of the dialog box.
After a while, Lin You's fingers quickly typed out a line of small words.
"Okay, Mr. Shi. When are you free? What would you like to eat?"
After the message was sent, he replied quickly.
"Tonight. You choose the place."
After receiving the message, Lin You carefully considered it and chose a wild mushroom hotpot restaurant that was cost-effective, clean and hygienic.
She called ahead to reserve a table and sent him the store location.
*
Today is a weekday and there are not many customers in the wild mushroom hotpot restaurant. Because they made reservations in advance, the restaurant has reserved a small bag.
On the way here, Lin You repeatedly thought about the purpose of Shi Jingyuan's meal.
With his status, he definitely has no shortage of food, so what he wants must be something else.
What was there in her that was worth his desire?
The last time he helped her, he wanted her to provide valuable information about the company.
This time...
Manager Wang from the Finance Department has a strong background, and Mr. Shi must have fired him because of many twists and turns.
He did it, so he definitely wanted to be recognized. Plus, he sent a message asking her to thank him on behalf of all the female employees...
Therefore, what Shi always wants is to get emotional value from her!
Lin You figured it out and felt relieved.
If Shi Jingyuan knew that she had come to such a conclusion after this "in-depth" analysis, he would probably vomit three liters of blood!
At 7:10, Shi Jingyuan arrived late.
Lin You glanced behind him and asked, "Mr. Shi, are you here alone?"
Shi Jingyuan chuckled unhappily, "He Xuan's girlfriend has her birthday tonight, so I gave him the day off."
"oh."
I thought there would be at least three people having dinner, but suddenly it became just her and Mr. Shi.
"Why? Miss Lin is treating He Xuan to this meal?"
Shi Jingyuan sat down opposite her and asked jokingly.
Lin You waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I was just asking casually. I sincerely want to treat Mr. Shi to dinner alone today!"
Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
Lin You was serious and started praising people, determined to provide the greatest emotional value for Mr. Shi.
"Last time, I was reckless and got into trouble, causing a lot of trouble for Mr. Shi. Not only did Mr. Shi show his generosity and let me off the hook, he was also considerate and caring, taking good care of me. I really admire his broad mind."
"This time, President Shi overcame numerous difficulties and pressure from all sides, accumulating strength and making a breakthrough. With lightning speed, he cleared out the corrupt officials in the company and upheld justice for the female employee. He was like a ray of Buddha's light, illuminating everything..."
The more Shi Jingyuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and then his expression became more and more intriguing.
He watched her warm lips opening and closing, as if to say she was tired and thirsty, and secretly licked her dry lips.
Shi Jingyuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Lin You took it and took a sip.
Shi Jingyuan smiled faintly and asked, "Ms. Lin...how many points did you get in the Chinese language test?"
Lin You opened his eyes wide, bewildered. "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly..."
Shi Jingyuan: "I guess it's definitely a perfect score."
Lin You: “Hmm?”
Shi Jingyuan listed the evidence with a half-smile, "If he wasn't a top-ranked student who scored full marks on the college entrance examination essay, how could he have written such a gorgeous, uh... little essay to curry favor with the boss?"
Lin You was suddenly stunned. Thinking carefully about what he had just said, his cheeks suddenly turned red.
Even words like "Buddha's light shines everywhere" were said?
It seems... it's a little bit exaggerated?
So shameful!
Lin You drank water tactically, finishing a cup of tea in one gulp, his movements quite heroic.
Shi Jingyuan chuckled again, picked up the teapot and poured her another cup.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lin. You've been so thirsty from praising me. Don't worry, there's plenty of tea. Miss Lin, you can continue."
Lin You: “…”
