The manager sat there quietly, looking calmly at Qiao Guangfu, without saying a word, as if waiting for something.
Qiao Guangfu was so nervous that he didn't dare to look up. A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands kept fidgeting with the hem of his clothes. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I... I know I was wrong. I really only issued the notice because the other party didn't follow any leasing procedures."
Qiao Guangfu's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with regret and self-blame.
The manager listened to Qiao Guangfu's explanation, but his face remained expressionless. His eyes were cold and resolute, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts.
After Qiao Guangfu finished speaking, the old leader slowly said, "Qiao Guangfu, you used to be an excellent marketing manager, but your behavior has seriously violated the company's regulations. The store you ordered to rectify is its own shop. How could it have a lease agreement? You didn't ask clearly before issuing the notice on your own. You really don't have a brain."
Qiao Guangfu's face turned even paler. He knew he had offended someone; otherwise, the manager wouldn't have scolded him so harshly. He lowered his head, feeling utterly remorseful, and secretly harbored resentment towards his brother-in-law.
The manager continued, "Your actions have not only harmed the company's interests, but also damaged the mall's reputation."
Qiao Guangfu lowered his head even further, tears streaming down his face. He knew the immense loss his actions had caused the company, and looking at the manager with hope, he said, "Manager, please give me a chance. I will definitely beg for their forgiveness, really..."
The manager finally sighed and said, "You're fired. I hope you learn from this and start over."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Guangfu looked at him in surprise: "Manager, please give me a chance. I really regret it. I will beg for their forgiveness."
The manager didn't waste any more words with him. This position didn't necessarily need Qiao Guoguang. Since he was fired, they could arrange for someone from their own circle to take his place. Why not?
Qiao Guangfu silently left the office, his steps heavy and slow, as if carrying the weight of the entire world. He had once been a prominent marketing manager in the clothing market, but now, all of that was in the past. His career had come to an end, and his future was filled with uncertainty and confusion.
His heart was filled with regret and self-reproach. He regretted his actions and blamed himself for not cherishing this job. He thought of his family, who had always placed high hopes on him, and he had let them down. He didn't know how to face them; he felt incredibly guilty and uneasy.
However, he knew full well that all of this was caused by Ma Guoguang. He believed that if it weren't for Ma Guoguang's framing, he wouldn't be in such a predicament. Now that he had been dismissed, Ma Guoguang's life certainly wouldn't be easy either. He decided to take action and make Ma Guoguang bear the consequences he deserved.
When Qiao Guangfu returned home, his mood grew increasingly heavy. Seeing his wife watching television and eating sunflower seeds, his anger flared instantly. Without hesitation, he rushed over and slapped her hard, then took her to his parents' house to find Ma Guoguang. When he found Ma Guoguang, he mercilessly beat him, venting his anger and resentment. Then, he demanded the return of the five thousand yuan he had lent his wife, bringing up all the old grievances. This infuriated Ma Guoguang's mother; she sat on the floor, slapping her thigh and beating Qiao Guangfu angrily.
However, Qiao Guangfu did not give up. Upon learning of the incident, his parents immediately went to the Ma family home and engaged in a fierce argument with Ma Guoguang's family. The argument lasted a long time, attracting a large crowd of onlookers. Ultimately, the relationship between the Qiao and Ma families was completely severed, and a deep-seated hatred developed between them. From then on, the two families ceased all contact, and their conflicts and resentments only deepened.
Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief when she received Liu Hao's call and learned that the matter had been resolved. She also learned that the person who had been causing trouble had been fired. She smiled happily and quickly thanked Liu Hao.
Liu Hao replied with a smile, "I actually didn't expect things to turn out this way, and I'm actually a little embarrassed."
Qian Duoduo quickly replied, "Brother Hao, I'm really sorry for saying that. I'm the one who benefited from this."
Liu Hao explained with a smile, "You're wrong. Actually, it was our Liu family that benefited from you. My grandfather's ability to overcome this hurdle was a significant breakthrough for our Liu family."
After hearing this, Qian Duoduo politely exchanged a few words, and the two hung up the phone. She sat quietly on the sofa, looking at her watch, realizing that it was almost time for Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi to arrive. Just as she was thinking about Feng Niaoniao, she heard a knock at the door. Peng Fei opened the door and saw a travel-worn Wang Rui. He nodded to her and let her in. When Wang Rui saw Qian Duoduo, she immediately went up to her and said, "Chairman Qian, I'm here." Qian Duoduo smiled and pointed to the room next door, saying to her, "Go wash up first. We'll be busy with things in a few days." Wang Rui nodded and went to the room next door to wash up.
Before Qian Duoduo could even return to her room, there was another knock on the door. Peng Fei opened it again, and this time a man and a woman stood there, hand in hand, their faces beaming with happiness. After Peng Fei let them in, the two went straight to Qian Duoduo.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Peng Fei looked at the person in front of him with a mixture of wariness and curiosity in his eyes.
Yun Yi stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Qian Duoduo." His voice was gentle yet firm, giving people a sense of trust.
Peng Fei was slightly taken aback, then stepped aside, revealing Qian Duoduo standing behind him.
Qian Duoduo had already reached the door, her face beaming with a smile and her eyes sparkling with excitement. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and unceremoniously took Feng Niaoniao's hand from Yun Yi's, then said with a grin, "Brother Yun, can I borrow your wife for a moment?"
Yun Yi smiled but didn't say much. He had spent quite a while in Qianshan Village and had a certain understanding of Qian Duoduo's personality. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all and quietly followed behind Qian Duoduo and Feng Niaoniao into the courtyard.
Peng Fei quietly closed the courtyard gate and went back to his room. He didn't close the door, but just quietly observed the movement of things in the courtyard.
