Chapter 19 (Chapter 019) Aren't we not familiar with each other?
When Ye Huaizhang asked where the condoms were, Ye Baoling unconsciously paused.
"Aren't we not familiar with each other yet? Let's get to know each other first." He pressed the power button on the TV remote and turned off the TV.
Ye Baoling was interested in his pectoral muscles, but she wasn't very motivated for sex at the moment. She tactfully yawned, "I walked so much today, I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep now."
After saying that, she pulled up the covers, turned her back to him, and lay down.
Ye Huaizhang suppressed the urge to smile; after being teased for several days in a row, he had finally won a round.
*
Because they departed from different locations, Ye Baoling and Gu Man'er did not go to work together.
Yulong Building is very close to Qingtang Street, only a five or six-minute walk away. However, to avoid running into the old eldest branch of the family, Ye Baoling took the car arranged by Yang Pinxian, got off at the opposite street, and then walked over.
I was on time, reporting to the HR department at 8:55.
In the HR department, unsurprisingly, she ran into Gao Lizhen, the woman in red who had also been interviewed. What surprised her even more was that the elegant beauty with red lips and wavy hair was also there.
They actually hired three people?
So, she was an accident, and they were originally going to be hired?
When filling out the onboarding information, Ye Baoling noticed that the department listed on the form was the logistics department.
She quickly glanced at the form of the elegant beauty next to her. This beauty was named Lin Zhizhi, and her department was the Secretariat.
There was definitely something fishy going on.
Ye Baoling asked the female colleague in charge of reception in the personnel department, "I was interviewed for a clerical position in the secretariat, why did I end up in the logistics department?"
The female colleague explained with a smile, "The staff member who was originally going to leave the secretariat has been temporarily retained. We can only arrange for you to work in logistics for now. Next month, a colleague in the secretariat will be on maternity leave, and we will help you apply for a department transfer then."
Seeing Ye Baoling's displeasure, the female colleague added, "If Miss Gu cannot accept the company's arrangement, she can reconsider whether she wants to join the company."
Is this a joke?
We can't make a scene. If we blow it up and our family finds out, it will be harder to handle.
Moreover, she didn't come here to do simple clerical work in the secretariat. Once she joined Ye Qingtang, she could find ways to obtain the information she wanted.
Going to work at a deeper, more grassroots level, hiding in the shadows, might be a better starting point.
I immediately filled out the onboarding documents and went to the logistics department on the 4th floor, which I couldn't even find on the elevator buttons.
Because the number 4 sounds like "death" in Chinese, Hong Kong people generally dislike the number 4, so the fourth floor in the elevator was changed to "3A".
When she got to the fourth floor, she learned that this floor was originally designed as a fire-fighting mezzanine. Later, the fire-fighting floor was moved up, and this place was converted into offices.
The ceiling height is slightly lower than other floors, there is no false ceiling, and the decoration is simple, which is her favorite industrial retro style.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw dozens of boxes of Ye Qingtang bottled herbal tea piled up at the entrance, with workers carrying them out. The supervising woman urged impatiently, "Please hurry up, the small truck has been waiting downstairs for a long time."
The HR colleague who brought Ye Baoling down greeted the older sister, "Sister Mei, where are you taking all that herbal tea?"
"The public relations department is organizing a charity event in the housing estate, and they asked us to deliver a batch of herbal tea to the residents." As she spoke, Sister Mei joked, "How about it? You've taken the time to come down to earth and give us some guidance today?"
"Sister Mei, you're joking with me again. Let me introduce you, this is Gu Baolin, a new employee in your logistics department."
Sister Mei greeted Ye Baoling with a smile, then pulled aside a colleague from the HR department and asked in a low voice, "We need male employees, why are you hiring a woman? The logistics department does a lot of physical work, and now it's full of elderly, weak, and disabled people, what are we going to do?"
“I don’t know the specifics either. This was arranged by Manager Li. Why don’t you ask Manager Qi to talk to him about it?”
Sister Mei didn't make things difficult for her. She smiled and said, "Our boss doesn't care. She doesn't have to do any work anyway."
After the personnel department staff left, Sister Mei continued to direct the workers to move the herbal tea.
Ye Baoling stood aside and carefully examined the herbal tea packaging. It was produced at the beginning of last year, so it had been a year and a half and would expire in two days.
"Is it inappropriate to use products nearing their expiration date for charity events?"
Sister Mei glanced at her, surprised that the young girl had such sharp eyes. She couldn't help but complain, "That's what I said too, but unfortunately, I'm just a nobody, and the leaders don't listen to me. I can only do as they say."
"Is this the opinion of the public relations department, or our logistics department?"
"The public relations department wouldn't bother with such trivial matters; it was our manager Qian who said so."
Ye Baoling understood. The head of the logistics department was Manager Qi, who didn't manage things much. The specific affairs were handled by Supervisor Qian.
As a new employee, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she didn't say anything more.
After the goods were moved, Sister Mei led Ye Baoling inside. On the left were offices and warehouses, and on the right was a rooftop garden. Beyond the garden was the union office area accessible by elevator on the other side.
Sister Mei enthusiastically showed her around, and finally they returned to the logistics department office.
The large office outside has more than ten workstations, but only two are occupied: an old man drinking tea and listening to the radio, and a decadent middle-aged man drinking tea and reading a newspaper.
It seems that the logistics department doesn't lack men, but rather men who are responsible and capable.
Two steps up, there is a row of small offices, namely the supervisor's office, the manager's office, the finance office, and the storage room.
Sister Mei said loudly, "Let me introduce you, this is our new employee... What's your name again?"
"Gu Baolin. Just call me Alin."
"Yes, Arlene. This is Uncle Yuan, a company veteran who's retiring soon; this is Anan, who's in charge of the fleet. You can ask him for a car if you need one."
"Uncle Yuan, Brother Nan."
Uncle Yuan put down his newspaper and greeted Ye Baoling. Anan simply glanced up and nodded before continuing to read the horse racing guide.
Mei pointed to the empty table in front of Anan, "Ah Lin, you sit here."
The desktop was completely empty—no computer, no typewriter, just bare space.
Sister Mei handed her a folder, saying, "Our logistics department's work is very detailed; we have to rush wherever we're needed. Familiarize yourself with these documents first."
"Thank you, Sister Mei." After sitting down, Ye Baoling quickly glanced through the documents.
When she flipped to the middle of the character introduction, she found that Anan's name was Liu Haonan. She remembered that there was a Liu Haonan in the original script, who was the male lead's distant cousin and a stock trading expert.
After the stock market crash, she helped the male protagonist make a lot of money.
Judging from Ma Jing's dejected appearance, he doesn't seem like a stock trading expert.
Is it the same person?
The phone rang, and Sister Mei answered it. The men's restroom on the 12th floor was clogged. She quickly checked the phone book and called a janitor to come over. At the same time, she asked Ye Baoling to go to the 12th floor to keep an eye on the cleaning staff and help with the work.
My first task on my first day at work: unclogging toilets.
Fortunately, she wasn't a pampered young lady who had never done any work. She was someone who had taken on responsibilities since childhood. She could keep the toilet cleaner in check and the cleaning uncle who wanted to slack off, and she did her job quickly and beautifully.
Half an hour later, looking at the spotless toilet, Ye Baoling was very satisfied.
It's a pity there are no cell phones or work groups in this era, otherwise she would post it in the group to let her boss know how efficient she is at work.
*
Not far south of Jade Dragon Building is another building, Harbour Adventist Building.
Ye Huaizhang held a two-hour meeting to discuss investing in Dapeng Port. With his insistence, the die-hards represented by his fourth uncle finally compromised, and his father was also successfully persuaded. Now all that's left is for his grandmother to give her approval.
Xu Tailiang, the vice president of the investment department who was following behind him, was his confidant. "Although you successfully suppressed your fourth uncle today, I think he will definitely cause trouble again."
Ye Huaizhang pulled out a chair and sat down. He was mentally prepared: "It mainly depends on my grandmother's attitude. The troublesome thing now is that my grandmother doesn't want to vote, and my fourth uncle is just trying to please her."
"Then it will still depend on you to persuade Grandma Ye. If it can't be decided within two months, then it's hopeless."
Ye Huaizhang picked up the documents on the table: "I'll think of a way."
Xu Tailiang chatted with him about other work for a while, and then left after Dong Jian came in.
Dong Jian whispered, "Young Master, the people in the gang still have a way. The driver who caused the accident has confessed."
Ye Huaizhang put down the pen he was signing and waited for Dong Jian to continue.
"Someone did instruct him to deliberately crash into your car."
"who?"
“There’s an Annamese man called ‘Water Dog,’ whom he met at a casino in Macau. The other man gave him 50,000 to crash into your car. Water Dog didn’t tell him why he wanted to crash into your car. The gang is trying to find out if they can find Water Dog.”
An Annamese. Ye Huaizhang fell into deep thought.
*
After finishing her work and returning to the fourth floor, Ye Baoling found that there were many more people in the office.
The people who went out to work in the morning returned one after another, including their direct supervisor, Manager Qian.
Sister Mei introduced Ye Baoling again, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Manager Qian said that we would go to Happy Hour after get off work on Friday to welcome Ye Baoling to join their team.
Ye Baoling, who was going to her grandfather's birthday party on Friday, hurriedly said, "It's my grandmother's birthday on Friday, can we change the time?"
A capable-looking woman with short hair said, "We can't change it; we booked the table last week."
The reservation was made last week?
Clearly, the Friday party wasn't for her.
Ye Baoling laughed and said, "What can we do? My grandmother's birthday was arranged more than seventy years ago, and we can't change the time."
Everyone was amused by her; funny people are welcome everywhere.
Anan, who was sitting behind her, finally put down his newspaper and said, "Grandma only has one birthday a year, and there are department gatherings every month. If you can't attend this time, you can attend next time..."
So, it was a department gathering.
Sister Mei quickly tried to smooth things over: "Yes, you can attend the next gathering."
Manager Qian didn't make things difficult for him, "Then it's settled."
Everyone went back to their own business. Ye Baoling turned to Anan and said, "Thank you, Brother Nan."
Anan merely raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and continued reading the newspaper.
During the lunch break at noon, Man'er couldn't find her at the secretariat, so she paged her to ask where she was.
Ye Baoling called her, and the two sisters went out to a small restaurant for lunch. Man'er couldn't help but feel indignant on her behalf.
"Those two are definitely people with connections. Our legal department is full of people with connections too, it's full but they're all very idle. I went to a few departments this morning, and they all looked pretty chaotic. Your company has a long history and a large scale, and it looks very strong and powerful on the outside, but in reality it's just an old relic that's all bark and no bite, full of holes and leaks everywhere."
Ye Baoling concluded: "Have you ever heard the saying? This world is just a giant makeshift operation."
Gu Man'er had never heard of it before. She took a big bite of curry chicken rice and said, "Yes! Cousin, you're so good at describing things."
After dinner, the two agreed to go home together after get off work.
Around 3 PM, everyone else in the office had left, leaving only a few people.
Ye Baoling was helping Wang Simin, who had a neat short haircut, bind documents when hurried footsteps came from the doorway, followed by a woman in a business suit.
The woman, who appeared to be around forty years old, glanced at everyone and loudly demanded, "Who was in charge of delivering the herbal tea to the community service event in the housing estate this morning?"
Sister Mei stood up and asked worriedly, "Manager Qi, what happened?"
It turns out that this woman is Qi Yuxiu, the leader of the logistics department.
"Sending nearly expired herbal tea to a charity event to distribute to the elderly and children, do you even have a brain? Do you know how many reporters were there?! Not just reporters, but also so-called competitors. Now look what's happened, the midday news is making a big deal out of this, and I heard the evening paper is following up too. Now the public relations department is trying to block the news, and the higher-ups are holding us accountable. Who in our logistics department sent the nearly expired herbal tea there?"
This has blown up.
Manager Qian came out of his office after hearing the commotion.
He feigned ignorance, "This needs to be investigated. Who's in charge? Sister Mei..."
Sister Mei was speechless; Manager Qian was clearly trying to shift the blame onto her.
Qi Yuxiu looked at Sister Mei: "Who's in charge?"
Sister Mei said helplessly, "I counted them."
"Didn't you check the production date?"
"I saw it."
"Why send it after seeing it?"
Sister Mei glanced at Manager Qian but didn't say anything.
Manager Qian's face was grave. He suddenly said sternly, "Sister Mei, since you know it's a product nearing its expiration date, why don't you replace it with a different batch? I understand you want to save costs for the company, but this isn't the way to save costs."
Sister Mei licked her lips: "I...I was wrong. I'm sorry."
Qi Yuxiu was furious: "You're wrong! You think it's over with just 'you're wrong'? Can you handle the consequences now? The company's reputation has been damaged, and the losses are immeasurable. It's not something that can be resolved with just an apology."
The office was completely silent.
Ye Baoling watched from the sidelines, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Sister Mei was wronged but dared not speak out; this is the most low-level case of someone taking the blame in the office.
Taking the blame for one's boss happens almost every day in different corners of the world.
But today is different. This matter cannot be resolved by simply taking the blame and making self-criticisms.
Qi Yuxiu looked at Sister Mei and sighed heavily, "I will inform the HR department to issue you a termination letter."
Sister Mei's eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn't imagined it would be this serious. Her voice immediately changed: "Manager Qi, I can't lose this job. Please, please help me. I have a family to support. Supervisor Qian..."
Manager Qian tried to plead, "Sister Xiu, how about we explain this to our superiors again and see if there are any other ways to remedy the situation?"
Qi Yuxiu: "How can we fix this? Should you resign or should I resign? I also have to be responsible to my superiors..."
Manager Qian dared not speak.
Clearly, being fired was not an acceptable outcome for Sister Mei. She shook her head and said, "I can't lose this job. I have three children to support and a mortgage to pay. Manager Qian, please say something!"
She hoped that Manager Qian would have a change of heart and take responsibility.
Manager Qian pulled Sister Mei aside and whispered something to her.
Ye Baoling guessed that Manager Qian was probably just making empty promises to her, telling her to go home and wait for news, and that he would find a way to arrange for her to come back later.
Suddenly, Sister Mei shouted, "No, I can't accept this!"
Manager Qian pulled at her again, and this time he might have mentioned compensation.
"I don't accept it," Sister Mei said loudly again.
Clearly, the compensation that Manager Qian could offer was very limited. And Sister Mei had a family to support; she couldn't be fired for taking the blame.
Manager Qian must have said something that provoked Sister Mei. Sister Mei turned around and walked up to Qi Yuxiu and said, "Manager Qi, I discovered yesterday that this batch of herbal tea was about to expire, and I already reported the situation to Manager Qian. Manager Qian told me to release it as is, otherwise I wouldn't dare to make the decision on my own."
Manager Qian rushed over: "When did you tell me this yesterday? Sister Mei, you can't lie and slander me just to avoid being fired and to protect yourself, can you? I was trying to help you, and you turn around and shift the blame to me. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"
"Do you think I'd shift the blame to you? I'm telling the truth."
"If you told me why I insisted you send near-expiry herbal tea to charity events, that there's plenty of recently produced herbal tea in the warehouse, and the money saved isn't my personal money..."
"You can write off the near-expiry herbal tea as a loss, and then resell the remaining tea at your brother's convenience store. Haven't you done this kind of thing enough before?"
"This is slander! You're spreading rumors! You're defaming me!"
Sister Mei looked at Ye Baoling and said, "Ah Lin can testify for me. She is a new employee. This morning she found that the herbal tea was about to expire and specifically reminded me that it was not appropriate to send it to a charity event. I told her that I had reported the situation to Manager Qian. It was Manager Qian who insisted on sending the near-expiry herbal tea, so I had no choice but to send that batch of goods to the housing estate."
Everyone looked at Ye Baoling. Under normal circumstances, as a newcomer, if she wanted to protect herself at this time, she should say that she didn't remember.
But Ye Baoling's mindset had long since moved beyond the stage of a new employee who needed to play it safe, so she nodded without hesitation: "Sister Mei did tell me that she reported the situation to Supervisor Qian..."
Manager Qian immediately retorted: "Did you hear her say that to me with your own ears? Did you? No! She's slandering me."
"As a newcomer, Sister Mei, is it really necessary for you to slander our common boss in front of me the moment we meet?"
Manager Qian: "..."
Qi Yuxiu pointed to Manager Qian and Sister Mei: "You two come to my office."
Once they entered the manager's office, Wang Simin quietly praised Ye Baoling: "You're very brave."
Ye Baoling: "What price will we have to pay?"
Wang Simin: Who knows?
Uncle Yuan, who was also packaging documents, sighed, "You're brave now because you're young. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. When you get older and have someone to support, you won't be so brave anymore."
Ye Baoling did not refute, but nodded with a smile: "Uncle Yuan is right."
Qi Yuxiu and the others chatted in the office for a long time. More than an hour later, Manager Qian and Sister Mei came out, and Ye Baoling was called in at the same time.
"Sit down." Qi Yuxiu, with her slightly curly hair and somewhat effeminate demeanor, said, "You're Gu Baolin, right?"
"Yes."
"Your first job?"
My first job.
Have you ever thought about changing jobs?
"???"
Ye Baoling immediately understood what the other person meant, but she pretended not to understand: "Why would I change jobs?"
Qi Yuxiu: "This morning, when you reported to our logistics department, Sister Mei gave you a task: to count a batch of herbal tea to be delivered to the housing estate. She repeatedly reminded you that one batch was nearing its expiration date and told you not to make a mistake. But in the end, you didn't check carefully and still delivered the wrong batch. Do you understand?"
Who would have thought that in the end, this huge burden would be placed on Ye Baoling's head?
Is this the result of their discussion?
Ye Baoling: "Everyone outside heard it just now; it's Manager Qian's responsibility."
"Everyone? Who's there?" Qi Yuxiu said confidently, "People in our department shouldn't have heard that."
That makes sense. The logistics department staff would definitely be more willing to help their old colleague Sister Mei who is in trouble, but at the same time they wouldn't dare to offend Supervisor Qian and Manager Qi, so she would inevitably be the scapegoat.
Seeing Ye Baoling deep in thought, Qi Yuxiu tried to persuade her: "Old Qian and Sister Mei are the pillars of their families. They have elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and mortgages to pay. Losing their jobs would crush their families. You're still young, in your early twenties, unmarried, childless, and without financial burdens, right? Besides, you just started this job today, and you don't have any special feelings for it. I can promise you that after this matter is resolved satisfactorily, I'll introduce you to a job of the same level, with a salary no lower than here."
This promise is meaningless to Ye Baoling; she cannot take the blame for it.
"The one who needs to take responsibility for this is Supervisor Qian. Manager Qi, you should introduce him to a job."
"Jobs of his caliber are hard to find."
So in Qi Yuxiu's eyes, it was because Ye Baoling was of such a low caliber that she was worth sacrificing.
"What if I disagree?"
"The result is the same; you won't be rehired, and the job I could have introduced you to is gone too." Qi Yuxiu smiled gently at her. "Think it over."
Manager Qi wanted to protect her people, namely Supervisor Qian, her wingmen or her henchmen.
This is the dog-eat-dog world; it's the same everywhere.
Ye Baoling asked, "How can you guarantee that you can keep your promise?"
Qi Yuxiu took out her business card from the table and handed it over: "Qi Yuxiu, this is my name. I can guarantee that as long as you cooperate, you can start working at another company by next week at the latest, and the salary will not be lower than here."
Ye Baoling fell silent.
Qi Yuxiu assumed she agreed to take the blame, "Then it's settled. You go outside and wait for a bit."
Ye Baoling went out first, and stood on the steps, looking at everyone in the office.
Sister Mei didn't dare to look at her, and everyone else kept their heads down and did their work, no one daring to ask questions.
It's obvious that Manager Qian had already spoken to them.
"Sister Mei..."
Ye Baoling wanted to chat with her for a bit.
In a panic, Sister Mei said to Wang Simin, "Simin, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet."
She didn't dare to face Ye Baoling.
For some reason, at this moment, Ye Baoling was able to understand Sister Mei's panic and sorrow.
There was no point in chasing after Sister Mei to question her, and Ye Baoling didn't want to waste time, so she went upstairs to find Gu Man'er.
After a brief discussion with Man'er, they returned to the logistics department office.
At this moment, two more people from the logistics department stood on the steps and spoke to Qi Yuxiu and Supervisor Qian.
It's estimated that the investigation will be conducted by the administration or human resources department.
"She's back!" Qi Yuxiu, standing on high ground, spotted Ye Baoling first. "It's her."
Someone handed Ye Baoling a piece of paper to sign.
Ye Baoling took the document and glanced at it quickly. "I won't sign it."
Qi Yuxiu's face immediately darkened, "Gu...that..."
She forgot her name.
Ye Baoling: "Manager Qi, I'd like to have a word with you."
Qi Yuxiu didn't understand what the little girl was up to, so she said to the person next to her, "Alan, wait for me a moment."
OK.
The two entered the manager's office, and as soon as the door closed, Qi Yuxiu said, "Speak, what other conditions do you have?"
Ye Baoling: "There are no conditions. I didn't do it, so I won't admit it."
"Didn't you just agree?"
"I didn't agree just now. Think about it carefully."
Qi Yuxiu realized she had been tricked: "You just want me to call the people from the administration department over so you can retaliate against me in front of them? Young man, don't be so naive. Public opinion can be devastating. You only have one mouth, how can you refute so many of us? The conditions I gave you before were not unfair. On your first day of work, there is no unpaid salary, so the company has no way to claim any losses from you. The solution I proposed is the optimal one."
"What's the best solution for you isn't for me. Manager Qi, my requirements are very simple..." In the original world, Ye Baoling would have made a big scene and then parted ways; she wasn't worried about not finding a job.
But if she wants to gain a foothold in Ye Qingtang, she needs to use a different strategy.
Qi Yuxiu: "What are your requirements?"
“Whoever is responsible should take responsibility. I just went to the 28th floor to find my cousin.”
28th floor?
Most of the company's important departments are located on this floor.
Qi Yuxiu immediately became alert, "Who is your cousin?"
“My cousin works in the legal department. He said that no one can guarantee that the company won’t pursue me for losses.” Ye Baoling deliberately mentioned her cousin, since her cousin was younger than her and didn’t seem to carry much weight, so she wouldn’t be able to fool the old fox in front of her.
The senior who recruited Gu Man'er could become her cousin if necessary.
Although she was confident that she wouldn't need to use her senior brother Man'er's connections in the end.
Qi Yuxiu's expression changed as expected.
You can manipulate someone with no connections, but if that person has connections upstairs, regardless of whether they have power or not, they can escalate the matter further up the chain of command.
Moreover, the people in the legal department are all law graduates, many of whom are elite lawyers, and these are the most difficult to deal with.
This matter is not easy to handle today.
Ye Baoling: "I asked my cousin to help me retrieve the surveillance footage from the elevator entrance on the 4th floor and the elevator shaft of elevator No. 3. This morning, when I took the elevator down with my HR colleagues, Sister Mei was already directing the workers to move that batch of near-expiry herbal tea. In terms of timing, I couldn't possibly be the person in charge of this matter. If this gets out of hand, I have the surveillance footage, my HR colleagues, and the movers who can testify to this."
Qi Yuxiu gritted her teeth and remained silent.
If Ye Baoling wanted to make a big fuss, she should have just explained the whole story to the people in the administration department.
But she didn't.
This means there's still a chance for things to turn around.
“I’m not making a scene because I don’t want to implicate Sister Mei. I feel sorry for her.” Ye Baoling was mainly worried that making a scene would expose her identity prematurely. “You, Sister Mei, and I should be on the same side. I know you’re a good person, Manager Qi. You cherish your employees; otherwise, you wouldn’t have done so much to protect them and even secured a way out for me. You’re a good person, but Manager Qian isn’t. For his own petty personal gain, he attempted to embezzle company assets and made such a low-level yet significant mistake. He should pay for his mistake. Keeping someone like that around is like having a ticking time bomb; he might blow everyone around him to pieces one day.”
The nail in that statement is both soft and hard.
The soft ones embed themselves deep in the heart, while the hard ones slam into the forehead, leaving one bleeding profusely.
After a long pause, Qi Yuxiu was at a loss for words. She looked at the woman in front of her again.
The girl has delicate features and looks completely naive. How can she be so meticulous in her actions and words?
Given the current situation, Qi Yuxiu obviously couldn't refuse Ye Baoling, but agreeing directly would be too hasty and would be embarrassing. Not to mention, she was still unwilling to give up, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you work before?"
"This is my first job. You just asked me about it."
"Yes, I already asked," Qi Yuxiu said, repeating a pointless statement.
Her mind was in turmoil.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Wang Simin opened the door and came in: "Manager Qi, the legal department called looking for Gu Baolin."
The Ministry of Justice? Gu Baolin really does have connections and background.
Ye Baoling: "I'll go answer the phone first."
Qi Yuxiu responded with a gurgling sound; her head ached.
Ye Baoling did not rush out, but instead smiled and issued an ultimatum: "My bottom line is that Manager Qian must take full responsibility for what he did, including his previous improper handling of company materials. The only difference is whether it escalates to the point that the company investigates and implicates other colleagues, or whether he turns himself in on his own."
Qi Yuxiu: "..."
Wang Simin, a bystander, stared wide-eyed: "!"
Ye Baoling smiled slightly: "Manager Qi, you are a good boss who cares about your employees. I will definitely work hard in the future and live up to your trust."
Qi Yuxiu, the good boss, seemed to have been manipulated. She gave an awkward smile, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Wang Simin, who was on the front line of watching the drama unfold, saw Ye Baoling walk out and then looked at Qi Yuxiu's discomfitured expression. She wanted to ask a question, but didn't dare to.
Qi Yuxiu glanced impatiently at Wang Simin: "What are you standing there for? Call Qian Fuqiang in."
"oh."
*
Before leaving get off work, Manager Qian was called upstairs. We'll find out what happened tomorrow.
Amidst the whispers of her colleagues, Ye Baoling picked up her bag and left.
Today marks the first seven days of conjugal relations after marriage. This morning, when I was reading the news to Grandma Guan, she specifically reminded me to come home early.
But she still planned to go to her grandmother's house for dinner first.
She has her own rhythm; she doesn't care what others arrange for her.
