Huang Yiming was furious, "How cruel you are!"
"Say whatever you want. Once you're done, pack your things and get out of here. I need this office right away."
Nie Yuling no longer cared what he thought of her or how he viewed her.
She doesn't need to care about the opinion of a scumbag.
She was rewarded for her report, and Chen Qinghe reinstated her as team leader, finally giving back the position that belonged to her.
Huang Yiming pointed at her, "I underestimated you, you're ruthless!"
"Isn't this all your fault?" Nie Yuling looked at him coldly. "Pack your things and get out!"
Huang Yiming nearly crushed his back teeth.
After packing his things to leave, Nie Yuling called him back. He thought Nie Yuling had softened and turned around smugly, only to hear her say, "We've been married for over ten years. This is my last piece of advice to you: be a decent human being!"
Huang Yiming nearly vomited blood in anger. He grabbed his things and stormed off.
The evil spirits were finally gone, and Nie Yuling sat down at her desk, feeling refreshed.
Once all the team members were present, Li Xiyue walked into the meeting room and sat down in her seat. "Alright, now that the external issues are resolved, it's time to address our internal problems."
"Team Leader Li, I mishandled the matter of the wood ear mushroom, and I am willing to accept any punishment." He Fenfang's attitude in admitting her mistake was excellent.
Li Xiyue nodded. "Sister He, although this was the fault of the production team, you did make a mistake in following up. We'll fine you half a month's salary as our team's funding. Do you agree?"
"I agree, thank you, Team Leader Li." He Fenfang was extremely grateful.
This incident caused quite a stir; even Guan Xuefei, the dean's son-in-law, was fired, not to mention the group members.
For He Fenfang, having only half a month's salary deducted was already a very lenient punishment.
Zhao Xinping had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Xiyue looking over. He immediately said, "I'm also willing to deduct half a month's salary for expenses."
“Brother Zhao, your situation is different from Sister He’s, so you probably shouldn’t be punished the same way,” Li Xiyue said.
Zhao Xinping asked, "What's different? Does the difference mean we're not following up well?"
“Cai Xiaoying has already confessed. You were also involved in the change of gatekeeper. You still say that I am new and may not be able to see the difference between being a gatekeeper and being a sanxiang.”
Zhao Xinping's expression changed.
Li Xiyue tapped the table lightly with her slender, fair fingers. "Are you so sure I don't know anything about medicinal herbs? Before I came to the countryside, my family ran a clinic. I learned medicine from my grandfather since I was a child, and I know medicinal herbs and their effects by heart. Before coming here, I worked as a barefoot doctor in the countryside for two and a half years, where I was in contact with the most primitive medicinal herbs."
"I'm not bragging, but whether it's medicinal herbs or healing, none of you here can compare to me. If you think I'm easy to bully because of my young age, you're mistaken."
Zhao Xinping's face flushed red and then turned pale. After a long while, he asked, "So, what does Team Leader Li plan to do with me?"
"Expel him." Li Xiyue said calmly.
Zhao Xinping suddenly stood up. "Team Leader Li, isn't this going too far? It's just a small matter. Sister He is the same..."
"I told you, Sister He is different from you. She didn't secretly take any benefits, nor did she think I was easy to bully!"
He Fenfang nodded repeatedly, showing an extremely strong will to survive.
Li Xiyue continued, "Moreover, what you did was not a small matter. You are a member of our research and development team, yet you colluded with outsiders to replace the medicinal materials, ultimately affecting the interests of the entire research and development team. To put it bluntly, you are a traitor. I dare not use someone like you again!"
Zhao Xinping clenched his fist. "You, surnamed Li, don't push your luck!"
Xiao Li, Lin Yang, and Sun Chunqiu quickly pulled him back, fearing he might make a move.
"Let me go!" Zhao Xinping shook off the three men. "Fine, I'm leaving. I don't want to stay in this lousy place anymore."
