“Demotion is too lenient for you; you should be fired,” Lin Congzhi replied fiercely, without a trace of pity.
Jiang Yimei panicked. This was her most pressing job, the one she desperately needed to keep! If she lost it, how would she pay her rent? How would she repay her parents? How would she deposit money in the bank?
Feeling insecure, she suddenly became fierce and angrily retorted, "Why are you firing me? Do you have a legitimate reason?"
With his back to her, Lin Congzhi said without a doubt, "Isn't playing tricks on your boss a valid reason?"
“That’s not enough to fire me,” Jiang Yimei retorted weakly.
Lin Congzhi, like a judge, solemnly declared: "If I say it's okay, then it's okay!"
Jiang Yimei was furious. Her pale finger trembled as she pointed at Lin Congzhi, her heart filled with utter despair: "You... Lin Congzhi, you are far too cruel."
"Don't call me by my first name in the office, it's annoying to hear," Lin Congzhi snapped.
"Fine, you win. So what if you fire me? I won't take it!"
With that remark, Jiang Yimei, having been forced into a corner, angrily turned and left.
As the saying goes, there are companies everywhere in the world. She refused to believe that she couldn't find a suitable job with her personal strength and charm.
Seeing this, even though he was full of confidence, Lin Congzhi was a little scared and couldn't help but ask coldly, "Did I say I was going to fire you?"
Jiang Yimei, seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope, stopped in her tracks; then, calming herself, she asked in a slightly gentler tone, "Didn't you just say you should fire me?"
"I was just trying to scare you, I didn't expect you to be so easily frightened," Lin Congzhi replied with a sneer.
Feeling like she'd been tricked, Jiang Yimei whirled around and angrily demanded of Lin Congzhi's utterly annoying back, "Lin Congzhi, what exactly do you want?"
Lin Congzhi's thin lips curled into a wicked and sexy smile: "It's simple. Work overtime today, get the self-criticism and this week's business report done, and hand them in to me!"
After speaking, he continued walking forward with his usual aloofness.
Jiang Yimei, who had been standing still, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Nowadays, people try to stay with the company if they can avoid it.
Furthermore, she never expected that Lin Congzhi, who was always petty and narrow-minded, would forgive her so easily; in the past, she would never have dared to imagine it.
To be fair, it was indeed her fault. She shouldn't have lied to her boss and taken her anger out on him.
Composing herself, she slunk off to work.
Soon after, other employees arrived, and the once cold and impersonal place was filled with vitality again.
Today, no "little gift" appeared on Jiang Yimei's desk. It's unclear whether it was because she arrived early or for some other reason.
In short, Jiang Yimei was quite happy that she wasn't bothered by anyone.
…
Time passed by, and before she knew it, Jiang Yimei, who was working diligently, suddenly felt something was wrong.
The elevator was working fine today, so why did Lin Congzhi come up the stairs?
This is the fifteenth floor; most people wouldn't climb the stairs to this floor.
Something's definitely fishy!
She felt that everything was under Lin Congzhi's control.
Today's "cat and mouse operation" is not about her catching Lin Congzhi, but about Lin Congzhi catching her.
No wonder I didn't see the calming and soothing tea when I checked the thermos; Lin Congzhi probably already figured it out last night.
In other words, Lin Congzhi's suspicion of committing the crime cannot be completely ruled out; moreover, the investigation needs to be intensified.
