Chapter 3: No, Begging, Dog
Xu Si'an curled his lips into a sneer: "The other employees don't have it, but you do."
Qiao Xu understood; he was doing it on purpose.
Deliberately making things difficult for oneself.
"Mr. Xu, the company is maliciously demanding compensation from its employees. I can report this to the relevant authorities."
Xu Si'an stubbed out his cigarette in the crystal ashtray in front of him and stood up: "Go."
Qiao Xu turned to leave, but before her hand even touched the doorknob, she heard him say, "The business district is only so big. Secretary Qiao, be prepared to change careers."
Bear with me, bear with me...
fed up!
"Xu Si'an, are you threatening me?"
Xu Si'an stood up, walked around the desk, and stepped up to her: "So what if it is?"
"If you beg me, I might consider signing your resignation."
Qiao Xu met his eyes and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "No, beg, dog."
She didn't even want her employee badge anymore. She forcefully pulled open the glass door, slammed it shut, and walked to the assistant's office next door.
As soon as the door closed, Qiao Xu's eyes instantly turned red.
Knowing that the office door was not visible from the outside, she simply slumped onto the carpet, kneeling and hugging herself.
Xu Si'an, I let you go four years ago. What more do you want? What more do you want from me?
He was next door, and Qiao Xu dared not cry out loud.
Four years ago, a week before graduation, a man who called himself Xu Si'an's mother and his fiancée approached me.
First, she belittled herself to the point of worthlessness, and then she humiliated her parents.
They said she was shameless, ill-mannered, a gold digger, and a mistress.
Xu's mother gave Qiao Xu one million yuan, asking her to break up with her son.
At that time, Qiao Xu's father was suffering from liver cancer and really needed money for treatment.
Qiao Xu didn't accept the money, but she broke up with Xu Si'an on graduation day.
She did not waver when her mother came looking for her.
But when she saw Xu Si'an, who had said he was going home for dinner, appear in the mall to accompany the woman who claimed to be his fiancée to try on wedding dresses.
She believed he wasn't that kind of person, but she still chose to let go.
His mother was right; what right did she have to be worthy of someone as outstanding as Xu Si'an?
And what makes her think she can marry into a wealthy family?
After the breakup, in order to pay for her father's medical treatment, she worked odd jobs while continuing her studies, borrowing money from all the relatives she could.
Dad is gone.
For a fleeting moment, she regretted not asking for the million-dollar breakup fee. If she had, would her father have survived?
After venting her emotions, Qiao Xu wiped away her tears, stood up, walked to her desk, sat down, and opened her computer to write her resignation.
Xu Si'an knew about it less than a minute after she sent it to the HR director's email address.
He said coldly, "No approval."
The HR director called Qiao Xu: "Qiao, are you resigning?"
"Um."
Are you not satisfied with your new salary and benefits?
“Xiao Qiao, you’ve worked at the company for four years and are very capable. I know that a salary of 26,000 yuan is a bit low for an assistant to the general manager, but the quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses are not bad either.”
Qiao Xu was completely bewildered: "Director Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Director Chen said, "Didn't you see the email? President Xu gave everyone in your secretarial office a raise, and as the assistant to the president, you got an extra 8,000."
Qiao Xu quickly opened the unread email from five minutes ago, which stated that her salary had been adjusted starting this month.
Xu Si'an didn't reduce her salary?
"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao?"
"I'm listening to Director Chen. Is this what General Manager Xu means?"
"Yes, two hours ago, when President Xu mentioned that he was transferring you to the position of assistant to the president, he also mentioned a raise. I communicated with the finance director before sending the email to you."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xu still felt like she was in a dream.
Two hours ago?
It was before he went down to the secretary's office?
Then why did he make things difficult for me just now?
The president's secretary and assistants get off work according to the boss's schedule; they can only leave work when the boss leaves.
The pinned WeChat group message popped up.
Ye Yurou: "Oh my god, President Xu is my god! Finally, I don't have to work overtime anymore."
Fang Kexin: "Compared to President Xu, Zhou Bapi is simply not human."
It's quite a coincidence that the previous president's surname was Zhou.
Fang Kexin: "Xuxu, why aren't you showing up? Is the assistant very busy?"
Qiao Xu glanced at the new work group in her WeChat list; it only contained the three of them and Xu Si'an.
He sent a message not long ago saying that unless there are special circumstances, they do not need to work overtime.
Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin both replied in the group, but she didn't.
Qiao Xu: "I'm not busy, I just didn't check my phone."
However, she didn't want to reply to his group messages; she had just said she was going to resign.
She refused to believe that he wouldn't know she had emailed HR.
Forget it, I'll just ignore it.
She works like a beast of burden, and he is her boss.
After packing her bag, Qiao Xu went down the emergency staircase to the secretary's office.
Xu Si'an stood up as her figure passed by, and grabbed his phone and car keys.
When the elevator doors opened, the three people outside saw Xu Si'an inside and were unsure whether to get in or not.
"Aren't you taking the elevator?"
Ye Yurou realized what was happening and grabbed one of them with each hand as they entered the elevator.
Fang Kexin noticed Qiao Xu's reddened eyes: "Xu Xu, why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"
The man standing behind them had a slightly darker look in his eyes.
Qiao Xu shook her head: "No, my eyes are a little allergic."
Eye allergy?
How could he not know she had this problem?
Fang Kexin took out some eye drops from her bag and handed them to her: "These are rose eye drops that I recommended a few days ago. They're very effective for sensitive eyes and red eyes. You should try them."
Qiao Xu accepted it: "Thank you."
Ye Yurou asked softly, "Little Xuxu, are you unhappy?"
"fine."
Qiao Xu shook her phone, and the two understood immediately.
Okay, let's talk on the phone.
I almost forgot that the boss was still behind me.
After getting off the elevator, Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin each took one of Qiao Xu's arms: "Secretary Qiao, you must have an annual salary of three or four hundred thousand plus various bonuses, how come you still can't bear to sell your old Wuling and buy a new one?"
Ye Yurou shook the car keys in her hand: "There are tens of thousands of yuan in subsidies for buying a car now, and the company also subsidizes 20%, so you can save a lot."
"Let's get a new one."
Qiao Xu smiled and took out her car keys from her bag and pressed a button: "Why would I replace a perfectly good car? I have other uses for my money."
Fang Kexin grabbed Qiao Xu, who was about to leave: "It's rare for me to get off work early, let's have dinner together, barbecue, hot pot, Japanese food? Xiao Rou and I will treat you."
Qiao Xu declined: "No need, I just moved to a new place recently, and I'm not quite used to it yet. I need to go back soon."
She dared not mention the dog at home, fearing someone might overhear.
"Come over to my house for hot pot when the house is all cleaned up."
Xu Si'an stood behind them the whole time, and only after they got into the car did the driver stop the white Phantom in front of him.
He took out his phone and made a call: "Find out where Qiao Xu's new rented house is."
He Yanxun scoffed on the other end of the phone: "Didn't you say you didn't care?"
Xu Si'an loosened his tie: "The racecourse."
"Alright, Mr. Xu, just wait and see."
"Ten minutes."
Xu Si'an ignored He Yanxun's lamentations on the other end of the phone and hung up immediately.
During rush hour traffic jams, that light green Wuling mini electric car kept driving in front of them.
The driver couldn't help but complain: "These little electric vehicles are only popular with female drivers. They look cute, but once they catch fire, all that's left is the frame."
Xu Si'an rarely spoke up: "Isn't this kind of car safe?"
"Look at what you're saying. How safe can a car that costs tens of thousands of yuan be? Airbags are only available in high-end models."
"Hit it."
The driver nearly slammed on the gas: "Mr. Xu, what did you say?"
