From evening until dawn, the lights in the flower house remained on. When Ying Xia arrived in the morning, the man was already gone, but the lavender had all been replanted.
After being out of the soil for a day, the lavender was still a bit withered. Ying Xia didn’t know if these plants could survive, but she hoped they would.
After all, every lavender plant here was personally planted by the gentleman; each one carried his efforts.
After leaving Yu Garden, the man went straight back to the company. He was like a machine, seemingly with boundless energy. Despite being up all night, he worked methodically, and of course, was merciless when reprimanding others.
"Is this the financial report you gave me?" The man coldly lifted his eyes and flung the folder forcefully.
The folder hit the man across from him squarely, but the man dared not make a sound. After a long pause, he stammered, "President Leng, it was a momentary oversight on my part. I’ll correct it right away!"
"No need." The man interrupted him, "Go to the HR department and settle this month’s salary."
Upon hearing this, the man’s face turned pale because he understood what it meant.
"President Leng, could you give me another chance? My whole family depends on my salary. If I lose this job, what will become of us? I beg you, please give me one more chance."
"Opportunities are for the capable." The man replied coldly and turned to his assistant, "Escort him to HR."
The assistant couldn’t help but sigh. Firing someone over a single mistake; this boss was indeed too ruthless.
Everyone knew that Li Bin’s family was in a difficult situation. His wife was unemployed, his children were still in school, and his elderly mother had been diagnosed with cancer. Now that he lost this job, how could his family manage?
Despite feeling sorry for Li Bin, the assistant didn’t dare speak up. She definitely didn’t want to be the next one to be fired.
However, what had gotten into the big boss lately? He had fired several employees over a few days, including a senior executive.
Could it be dissatisfaction?
The assistant mused that it was indeed possible. Rumor had it that Miss Cheng had been in T City recently and hadn’t returned to A City for a while. If the boss couldn’t see Miss Cheng, it was very possible he was taking his frustration on others.
Just as he thought this, his wish seemed to be granted. Speak of the devil, and she appeared.
Seeing Cheng Ying, the assistant couldn’t help but feel relieved and greeted her respectfully, "Good day, Miss Cheng!"
"Thank you." Cheng Ying smiled at him.
As Cheng Ying brushed past him, the assistant couldn’t help but admire her. The famous celebrity had no airs about her, treating even a lowly assistant like him with respect.
Beautiful and kind-hearted, no wonder the president had a special fondness for her.
Once Cheng Ying entered the office, she sensed the gloomy atmosphere. She looked up at the man’s sullen face and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
"Who’s upset our great president? Why is he wearing a Guan Gong face?"
At her voice, the man looked up, his expression softening a bit, "Why are you here?"
"If the mountain won’t come to me, I have to come to the mountain." Cheng Ying walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and smiled, "Haven’t you missed me after all these days?"
The man frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Is the advertisement shoot done?"
Cheng Ying’s eyes darkened a bit, but she didn’t linger on the topic. She smiled and said, "There are just a few finishing touches left, we should be done in a week or
