“I’m sorry. It’s only my first day at work so there’s still a lot for me to learn…” Chu Wuyou reckoned she could accept the mistake and make the best out of it. Perhaps she would be fired from the company straightaway for making such a grave mistake on her first day.
She desired to be fired from the role because she would be able to visit her two children if that happened. Today was their first day of kindergarten and she really wished to be there for her darlings.
Before she could finish her sentence, however, Ye Lanchen cast a piercing gaze in her direction right away. His threat was evident.
The woman understood that this plan would not work. As the common saying goes, he who understands the times is a wise man. “But I only proceeded to shred the documents that the others handed over to me, not knowing what kind of documents they were. I didn’t know the document demanded by the President was among them.”
She sounded natural thus the others were unable to discern anything peculiar from her words.
On the other hand, Ye Lanchen, who knew what was going on, curled his lips upward slightly.
Nice move!
Team Leader Sun rushed over to the scene after being informed about the incident. Her heart sank upon listening to Chu Wuyou’s defence because she became aware of the seriousness of the problem.
She parted her lips, intending to remedy the situation.
“Why are you so careless? You should’ve inspected them properly.” However, Sun Yunyun interrupted immediately, thinking it was a good opportunity.
“It’s only my first day. Even if I look through the documents, I wouldn’t know which ones are useful and which ones are not.” Chu Wuyou threw a quick glance at the other woman. Her expression seemed so nonchalant as if the matter did not concern her at all.
“But I’m certain of one thing, you didn’t pass any documents to me. Thus I’m not taking the blame.”
Team Leader Sun knew at that moment that things had gone too far. It was already too late for her to do anything hence she could only try to turn this big matter into a small one.
Secretary Liu, who was watching the turn of events, almost clapped his hands to express his admiration.
He knew that Madam President was not a weakling.
President had not made his move yet. Well, the scheming woman should wait to see for herself.
Secretary Liu’s face was overtaken by excitement as he waited for the President to display his prowess.
In the next second, he suddenly felt the President staring right at him coldly.
This surprised him slightly but he understood the President’s intentions almost immediately.
He initially thought that the President was going to sort this out personally to please Madam.
Evidently, he was too engrossed in the argument that he lost his senses. He was naturally the person most suitable to resolve the current circumstance.
“We must get to the bottom of this.” Secretary Liu declared after recollecting himself.
Surely he must do so as it involved Madam President.
A flicker of movement caught Team Leader Sun’s eyes upon witnessing Secretary Liu’s reaction. She could not help but think the man was overly keen about this.
In fact, the incident was not a mystery at all.
“You said that you handed the document to Chu Wuyou, is that right?” Secretary Liu turned to look at Sun Yunyun sharply.
“Yes, yes.” Sun Yunyun, who was guilty, appeared nervous but nodded affirmatively nonetheless.
After all, she could not take back the words that escaped her mouth previously.
“How long have you been working in this company?” Secretary Liu posed the unexpected question out of the blue.
“A little over a year.” Sun Yunyun was stunned for a couple of seconds but she replied eventually.
“A little over a year, huh? Then you must be familiar with our company’s rules and regulations?” Secretary Liu pressed further.
“Yes, I know them well.” This time around, Sun Yunyun nodded without hesitation.
