Sophia took the lead and said, "Madam, we have something we would like to discuss with you."
After hearing her words, Yan Qing felt that nothing good was going to happen. "What exactly do you want to say?"
Sophia smiled and said, "We want to resign. We all resign, no one will stay." Yan Qing didn't expect them to make such a request. She looked at the servants and asked, "Do you really want to resign?" The servants behind her all agreed, "Yes, we all want to resign. Since you fired Sophia, what are we going to do if we stay?"
Yan Qing frowned. If no one took care of the manor, wouldn't it just become a wasteland? Besides, it needed people to maintain it on a daily basis. If all these people left, would he be left alone at home?
After thinking about this, she said, "Only two people were fired today. It has nothing to do with the others. You guys should stay out of this."
But the other servants still said, "We don't want to be here anymore. If Sophia is also fired, there is no need for us to stay here anymore. Please retreat together."
Yan Qing had a headache. She knew that she couldn't fire so many people because she couldn't find so many replacements in a short time.
Seeing Yan Qingse looking very troubled, Sophia smiled in her heart.
She said, "Madam, if you really want to resign, we will leave together, but if you want to keep them, you can't fire me."
Yan Qing was in a dilemma. From a personal perspective, she wanted to fire Sophia, but if they all left, there would be no one to maintain the family. To ensure the normal operation of the manor, she had to compromise temporarily. So she said, "Forget it, let's put the resignation on hold for now. You can continue to work here."
When Huo Beiting came back in the evening, Yan Qing told him about this matter. She said, "I've thought about it and decided not to fire Sophia and the others. After all, it's not easy to find people now."
Huo Beiting frowned after hearing her words, "But hasn't Sophia always been very mean to you? I respect your decision to fire her."
He felt that Yan Qing had always been suspicious because of Sophia, and that she would be better if Sophia left.
But he didn't understand why Yan Qing suddenly pleaded for Sophia again.
"Have you thought it through? If you don't fire him this time, it will be more difficult to fire him next time," Huo Beiting was very worried about Yan Qing.
Yan Qing nodded, knowing what was going on. "I understand all of this, but I really can't fire them right now. I think they've probably become more restrained after this incident and won't be as cocky as before."
"Okay, since you've decided to keep them, I respect your opinion this time. Go ahead and take care of it."
The next day, Yan Qing publicly announced that he was withdrawing the notice of dismissal.
Sophia was very happy after hearing this. She had finally achieved her goal. She wanted everyone to come together to cause trouble so that Yan Qing would have no choice but to withdraw his dismissal. Sophia turned to the servants behind her and said, "Sisters, we can continue to stay here and work. We have to thank the lady."
After hearing this, the servants did not express their gratitude to Yan Qing, because they noticed Sophia's eyes, which seemed to say, why don't you go and create some trouble for me? They ran away in a panic.
Seeing this scene, Yan Qing could only shake his head and sigh.
Huo Beiting went to the company to deal with some matters, and Yan Qing was home alone.
When she walked into the living room, she suddenly felt thirsty, so she said to Sophia, "Pour me a glass of water."
But Sophia was right beside them, and she was reluctant to act. Yan Qing urged her again, "Didn't you hear me? Pour me a glass of water."
Sophia was mopping the floor nearby. She turned around to look at Yan Qing, then just smiled and turned her head away.
Yan Qing was very angry. She went over to Sophia and asked why she didn't listen to her. Sophia stood up and said slowly, "I have no obligation to listen to you. Doesn't it clearly state in the contract that it was the Huo family who hired me, not you, so I have no obligation to serve you."
After she finished speaking, she said to the servants around her, "Am I right, sisters?"
Others said, "That's right, we don't need to provide her with any services."
After hearing this, Yan Qing was furious. Were they rebelling collectively? Why were they doing this to her? She looked at Sophia and said, "Is this your purpose? Are you deliberately trying to go against me?"
Sophia frowned, looked at Yan Qing and said, "Actually, you can go pour the water yourself. You have everything you need, so why do you have to order others?"
Yan Qing could see that Sophia was against him. A few days ago, she was begging him for help, but now, she suddenly became complacent. That face was really disgusting.
Yan Qing really wanted to fire her right away, but for the sake of the overall situation, she could only endure it again and again.
"I'll say it one last time, go get me a glass of water," Sophia still didn't listen. She stood there and continued to wipe the floor, as if she didn't hear what Yan Qing said.
Yan Qing understood instantly, "Okay, if you are against me, then I will fight you to the end." Yan Qing turned to the other servants and asked them to pour water, but all the servants seemed to listen to Sophia's words and they refused to go.
"We think what Sofia said makes sense. You are fully capable of pouring the water, so why do you have to support us in doing it?"
Seeing that no one in the house listened to him, Yan Qing felt a little discouraged.
She was too easy to talk to before, so they pushed her so hard. She thought about it, then laughed coldly and said, "Yes, it is indeed the Huo family who signed the contract with you, but have you read the terms clearly?"
After she finished speaking, she picked up a contract from the table and flipped to the last page. The clause on it clearly stated, "If you are fired due to character or work ability issues, no commission will be paid."
She read these two clauses in detail, and then said to all the servants: "Your character is so bad that I can fire you now because of these two clauses. Of course, you won't get a penny."
As soon as the words fell, the whole room became quiet. These servants came here to work just to get a salary, but now these two treaties basically cut off their retreat. They looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with it. Even Sophia began to frown, no longer as arrogant as before.
