"Let him wait. I'm the general manager now." Ji Xiaoxiao shrugged arrogantly, completely ignoring her assistant's expression, and leisurely made coffee.
Ten minutes later, the assistant came in carrying a stack of documents. "Sister Qiu, these?"
Ji Xiaoxiao opened her phone to browse entertainment news, not even glancing at her assistant, and said, "Put it back where it came from, I'm busy right now."
The assistant stood there dumbfounded. Ji Xiaoxiao snapped, "What? The general manager's words no longer carry any weight?"
Jobs were hard to find, and the junior assistant couldn't manage Ji Xiaoxiao, so she took the documents and went home.
An hour later, an angry male voice reached Ji Xiaoxiao's ears, "Qiu Feng'er, playing on your phone and reading entertainment news, is this how you work?"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded and said matter-of-factly, "A balance between work and rest is essential for more effective work."
The man walked in, his face contorted with anger, the veins on his hands bulging out in a menacing manner. He wore a black suit and a gray tie, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, exuding confidence, arrogance, and an air of accomplishment—he was all about projecting the image of a successful man.
"I told you to come to my office, why didn't you go? What, does the chairman's word no longer carry weight?" The man said sarcastically to Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced contemptuously at the assistant beside the man. "Who's that? What did you get in return for betraying me?"
"I...I..." the assistant stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Ji Xiaoxiao put down her phone, pushed back her chair, stood up, walked to the man, pulled a letter from her pocket, and threw it into his hand. "I quit."
The original owner spent over ten years finally becoming the company's general manager, only to be fired based on a mere unverified rumor, without any regard for her years of hard work and dedication. Moreover, the original owner was a genuine talent who had made outstanding contributions to the company.
Crossing the river and then burning the bridge, showing no humanity or morality, Ji Xiaoxiao took the lead and fired the company.
"You..." In the blink of an eye, the man's face broke into a bright smile. "Feng'er, let's talk this out. Don't be impulsive about resigning. If this woman has angered you because she betrayed you, you can fire her. You don't need to gamble with your future."
When a man becomes chairman, he has a knack for judging people. Qiu Feng'er is a great leader. If someone like her leaves the company, it will be an immeasurable loss for both him and the company.
“I gave you a job, and you betrayed me for him. He abandoned you in the blink of an eye for me. See? Kindness goes unrewarded, that’s how it is.” Ji Xiaoxiao pointed at the man and said to her pale-faced, staggering assistant.
Ji Xiaoxiao's veiled insults finally pushed the man to his limit, and he told him to get lost. In society, what's most abundant? People. Talented people? With a little effort, you can find them.
Leaving the company, Ji Xiaoxiao was happy. Seeing those people's ugly faces calmed her anger considerably. Humming a song, she headed towards the food street.
As the sun set and dusk deepened, Ji Xiaoxiao returned to her apartment complex carrying a plastic bag.
It was the time for the older folks to have some fun. As soon as Ji Xiaoxiao came in, she greeted them warmly and took out the food from the plastic bag to share.
In the midst of their lively conversation, Ji Xiaoxiao inadvertently revealed that she had quit her job.
"Why did you stop making it?" the old lady asked, gnawing on a duck neck.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, rubbed her lower back, and said, "I used to work too hard, and now my health is failing. I saw a doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said that if I keep working like this, I don't have many years left to live."
"That serious?"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, looking disappointed.
They knew each other quite well, even among neighbors.
The elderly couple comforted Ji Xiaoxiao and asked what she would do next. Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I still have some savings. I'll rest for a while and find an easier job when I feel better."
The general manager is a rich man. The elderly folks all thought the same thing.
After spreading the news to the elderly, Ji Xiaoxiao began a life of eating and laziness. During the day, she cultivated the "White Lotus Holy Technique," and when she was bored at night, she would either dance with the elderly or visit other people's homes and watch melodramatic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas to pass the time.
Three months later, the events of that year involving Lü Zhunan and Zhu began.
