47 Crisis Over
Xing Shu sat on the couch and wondered if Cheng Xingyang had also banged Xing Linlin on this couch. She was overwhelmed with disgust and stood up to call Hu Jie in. “Change everything in this office. Everything!”
Hu Jie had already heard the news that Cheng Xingyang had come to the company. She felt that Xing Shu would be gone very soon, so she did not bother hiding her disdain. “Director Xing, I think you should bear with it. You still have to seek the Finance Department’s approval for office decor expenses. It will take some time for the funds to be approved. Moreover, it’s unknown if the Finance Department will approve it. Everything here was bought by Director Cheng. If you want to change it, you have to get Director Cheng’s approval. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Xing Shu emptied the cup of coffee over Hu Jie’s head. The coffee slid down her hair. Hu Jie looked at Xing Shu in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”
Xing Shu said, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. This is your formal notice—you’re fired.”
Hu Jie took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger. “You want to fire me? Who do you think you are? Director Cheng has already arrived at the company. You’re just Director Cheng’s lackey; an unappreciated one at that. You’re already being ridiculed by a mistress. Do you still think you’re a big shot?”
Xing Shu ignored Hu Jie’s insults and called HR. After a brief explanation, she looked at Hu Jie. “I’ve already submitted the performance and value form to HR. You don’t conform to the company’s hiring principles. Hu Jie, if I were you, I would stop with the repeated provocations. Since you’re so loyal to Cheng Xingyang, let’s see if he has the ability to let you in here again after I fire you!”
Hu Jie’s face flushed red. Just then, HR personnel came and handed the dismissal letter to Hu Jie. The entire process took less than five minutes.
Xing Shu said, “Hu Jie, you can leave now.”
Hu Jie widened her eyes and felt it was all a dream. Her lips trembled and she was speechless for a long time. In the end, she left with red eyes. She was going to find Cheng Xingyang!
The HR personnel was very polite to Xing Shu. Not everyone was brainless. To be able to parachute in as the Director at such a sensitive time, it might really be appointed by the President. Those who were smarter would not deliberately offend Xing Shu.
The HR personnel said, “Director Xing, your request has been submitted to the Finance Department. There will be renovation staff coming over to coordinate soon. As for the vacated Manager position, you can recommend a suitable candidate, if you have any in mind.”
Xing Shu walked out of her office and her gaze landed on the girl in the corner. The girl was very thin and her hair was messy. She did not talk much usually, but was very hardworking.
Xing Shu said, “Her. I think her name is Feng Jian.”
Feng Jian looked up and met Xing Shu’s gaze at being singled out. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes. No way. Had Xing Shu discovered her identity? Feng Jian frowned nervously and deliberately rubbed her messy hair. She even wore thick black-framed glasses to look as inconspicuous as possible.
Feng Jian lowered her head and quickly sent a message: “Xing Shu seems to have discovered me.”
The other party replied very quickly: “Jian Jian, why don’t we forget it? Actually, Xing Shu didn’t bully me too much. You don’t have to specially go to Cheng Corporation Group. The Xing family is indebted to me. If they find out…”
Feng Jian disagreed. Her disgust grew as she looked at Xing Shu, but no one could see her expression clearly due to the thick glasses..
Xing Shu recalled Feng Jian’s bio data. The name Feng Jian was very special. Her educational background and performance were not bad. Although she was ordinary-looking, she was quiet and did not cause trouble in the office. Xing Shu’s hiring principle was that she did not need her staff to fawn over her. She just wanted solid work performance. However, she remembered that Feng Jian seemed to have just joined them recently. If she became the Manager in just a few months, she was afraid that people would gossip and cause trouble.
At the thought of this, Xing Shu turned to the HR personnel and said, “Leave the position of Manager vacant for now. If there’s a staff member who performs well in the future, I’ll promote him/her.”
The HR personnel nodded.
Feng Jian also heaved a sigh of relief. When their eyes met earlier, she thought that she had been discovered. Now that the crisis was resolved, she snorted softly.
