Small issue?
Upon seeing those words, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief unknowingly.
After agreeing with Su Jinhui to have a meal at the Hai Di Lao restaurant opposite the company building after work tonight, she sat at her desk, bored to death. When the employees in the meeting walked out of the conference room, it was already 4 pm.
The second Su Mei stepped out, she was signaling her with her face. Then, Zhang Chaowen walked past them with an angry face.
After Zhang Chaowen had left, Su Mei gave her a pat on the shoulder while showing a you-better-be-careful look on her face.
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt very anxious, as if she was going to go on a scaffold.
On the 18th floor, at the director of the design department’s office.
Mi Nuo was sitting behind her desk as she looked at Su Jinhui, who was sitting in front of her.
Su Jinhui was the Deputy Head of the design department. At 30 years of age, he was a mature and earnest person. He had been someone that the company had heavily supported and could be considered successful.
On that year of election for the Director’s position, if not for her winning first place at an international competition, Su Jinhui might have gotten her position.
Hence, Mi Nuo had always been courteous toward him in the office.
As Mi Nuo was younger and a woman, Su Jinhui did not compete with her, so both of them got along amicably.
However, at this moment, this man was pleading for leniency on behalf of Zhuang Nainai?
Looking down, Mi Nuo tapped her long and fair fingers repeatedly on the table. After a long time, her lips curled into a smile. “Okay, Boss Su, I understand your intentions. I will handle this matter with discretion.”
Although the positions in the company were distinguished as “Director,””Head,” and so on, everyone would politely address each other as “Boss” as a form of respect.
Su Jinhui nodded and left the Director’s office.
He had just opened the door when he saw Zhang Chaowen walking over furiously. One was walking out and the other was walking in, causing them both to bump into each other in surprise.
Mi Nuo said, smiling, “Boss Zhang, are you here because of Zhuang Nainai’s matter?”
Zhang Chaowen nodded with a straight face. “That’s right. Using the phone during a meeting is too grievous a mistake. I suggest a heavy punishment, which is to fire her.”
Su Jinhui had wanted to leave, but upon hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and could not help but say, “It’s not that serious, it’s just a small mistake. Just a scolding will suffice.”
Like a cat that had just had its tail stepped on, Zhang Chaowen reacted intensely in a split second. He scoffed, “Boss Su, isn’t this the location design group’s matter? What has it got to do with you?”
Su Jinhui frowned. “I’m afraid that if word of us sacking an employee over such a small issue gets out, the company’s reputation would be affected and the company would be accused of mistreating employees.”
Zhang Chaowen rebutted sarcastically, “You are saying that Mr. Si is mistreating his employees?”
Su Jinhui was caught off guard. “I don’t mean it that way, you…”
“Do you still remember the last board of directors general meeting when Mr. Si took up his position? We also attended the meeting as department management employees. At that time, Mr. Si had fired a small leader precisely because he had received a call during the meeting, which had severely affected everyone’s work and violated the company’s rules. So, you feel that Mr. Si had mistreated the employee?”
His words made Su Jinhui choke. He was immediately boiling with rage.
That matter appeared to be that way on the surface, but people like him had not understood that Mr. Si had just taken over the company back then and that small leader was loyal to someone else. Thus, Mr. Si had only used that as an excuse to chase that person out.
However, Zhang Chaowen brought this matter up now to use as evidence…
But Su Jinhui just could not rebut him. Must he really let Zhuang Nainai be fired like that?
