Kang Xuan had already arrived at the finance office, bringing the Human Resources Manager with him. On the computer, there was a surveillance video—the edited footage of Li Xin and Liu Ying discussing Ye Yuning, even targeting her.
After watching the video, the Finance Director glared fiercely at Li Xin and Liu Ying.
Then, she turned to Kang Xuan and said, "Assistant Kang, as you know, I only joined the company recently, and I’m still trying to get a grasp on many things. Overtime is definitely unavoidable!"
The entire Xiao Corporation headquarters had undergone a complete overhaul, from top to bottom.
She was also new to the company and had been incredibly busy, liaising with various branches, swamped with work every single day!
However, who would have thought that her subordinates, behind her back, still had time to meddle in other people’s affairs.
Li Xin and Liu Ying panicked under the Finance Director’s stern gaze.
But then Li Xin said, "I’m sorry, Director. We were actually very busy too. Seeing Designer Ye leave on time made us a bit annoyed."
"Yes, Director," Liu Ying chimed in.
Manager Zhang looked at the two women, then at Kang Xuan’s grim face, and felt a knot tighten in her stomach.
The Finance Director said irritably, "We work overtime because of our department’s workload. Why are you dragging others into it? Is Designer Ye even part of our department?"
Liu Ying lowered her head. "No, she’s not!"
The Finance Director then looked at Li Xin, who remained silent.
Li Xin was visibly unconvinced. Why should we have to work overtime ever since we arrived, while Designer Ye gets to leave on time?
Kang Xuan’s expression was dark. "It’s fine for your department to work overtime. But if you’re working overtime, then focus on your work. Is meddling in other departments’ affairs part of your job description?"
"No, it’s not." Liu Ying continued to bow her head, admitting her mistake.
She was rather timid by nature, and at this point, she was so scared her face had turned pale.
Li Xin, however, retorted, "Her department has no one in charge right now, so she can just leave on time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, except Liu Ying, turned to look at Li Xin.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected her to still be oblivious to her mistake.
What did she mean, her department had no one in charge? Ye Yuning was currently alone, which meant she was responsible for the entire Design Department’s work.
For Li Xin to say such a thing was undoubtedly meddling.
Kang Xuan said, "Pack your things and go to the HR department to complete your handover." Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Xin exclaimed, "What?"
Handover? What does he mean? Am I being fired?
Kang Xuan had no desire to deal with her and turned to leave.
But Li Xin chased after him. "Why? I haven’t made any mistakes at work! You have no right to fire me without cause!"
"Not doing your job properly during work hours and disrupting the office atmosphere—you call that not making a mistake?" Kang Xuan countered.
"But what I said was the truth..."
"The HR department needs to pay closer attention to character when hiring in the future." Kang Xuan looked towards Manager Zhang.
He was completely uninterested in engaging with Li Xin further.
Seeing he wouldn’t even deign to argue with her, Li Xin thought despairingly, It’s over!
Fired? If I’m fired by the Xiao Corporation, who else would dare hire me?
Moreover, the salary at Xiao Corporation was higher than other places—a full third more than her previous job.
Li Xin was definitely unwilling to lose this job.
I just gossiped about a colleague for a bit, how did it lead to me being fired!?
"Yes, I’ll be careful," Manager Zhang nodded.
She was also extremely nervous. Although Kang Xuan hadn’t said anything more, Manager Zhang clearly felt his unspoken warning.
So what exactly is this Designer Ye’s relationship with Seventh Master? I thought she just got into the company through a favor from Seventh Master. Could it be that Seventh Master is personally looking out for her?
"Assistant Kang! Assistant Kang!"
Seeing Kang Xuan ignore her, Li Xin hurriedly chased after him.
However, Kang Xuan entered the elevator directly. "Assistant Kang, I know I was wrong!" Li Xin cried out.
Li Xin was utterly panicked.
She didn’t want to be fired. Working at Xiao Corporation was a very prestigious job.
Whenever she went back, her friends were all envious that she could join Xiao Corporation.
Kang Xuan’s cold, uncompromising expression plunged Li Xin into despair.
Li Xin stood dejectedly by the elevator entrance, completely dazed.
I’m being fired... just because I said a few things about someone else? Wasn’t I also thinking of the company’s good?
HR Manager Zhang approached. She too had been quite frightened earlier.
Looking at Li Xin’s state, she said, "Consider this a lesson. The office isn’t your home; it’s not a place where you can act willfully."
Li Xin looked at Manager Zhang, tears welling in her eyes.
Manager Zhang sighed and turned away. "Go prepare for the handover."
Li Xin’s throat tightened, wanting to say something, but not a single word would come out.
That woman, dressed like a Witch—what on earth was her background?
Ye Yuning had no idea what was unfolding at Xiao Corporation. She had already arrived at Qin Corporation.
Upon seeing her, Chen Wei hurriedly approached. "Boss, you’re here."
