"What's going on?" A calm voice was heard from the direction of the elevator. Everyone looked in the same direction and made a path for that person.
The employees as well as the security guard bowed to him respectfully. The receptionist said, "President, this little girl came here without an appointment and she disturbed everyone."
The President looked at the 'little girl' and the 'little girl' looked back at him. President froze and the little girl glared at him. Xue Lin flared up the moment she saw him. She said, "Didn't you say that there would be no problem if I told them I wanted to meet you? Your receptionist knows no manner. When I told her to let you know, she didn't do it, and moreover, she tried to kick me out by that Siberian Husky." She pointed out at the security guard who was acting as a loyal dog of the receptionist.
Louis Cruise saw that Xue Lin was fuming with anger. He completely lost his coolness and hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry that it had become like this."
At first, the employees thought that the 'little girl' was too overbearing to talk so rudely at their super handsome President. They thought she was charmed by his lady killer face. To think he would get scolded by her in front of everyone, they never imagined how close they could be.
"Your brainless receptionist doesn't know how to do her job and she judged a guest by her appearance. How can you hire an idiot like her? Now I really think you aren't worthy of being a President. What does your company sell? Stupid brains? Just look at my arm. It hurts like hell!" Xue Lin showed her slender white arm and everyone was stunned to see red marks of a man's hand. It was the bodyguard. He must have touched her so firmly. No wonder Xue Lin was mad.
Louis felt his throat went dry. If Ge Chen saw this, his life would be doomed. He didn't care she was scolding him in front of so many people. He bowed and said, "I'm so sorry. I never thought you would be mistreated by my employees. You are right. I haven't hired proper employees. I'll make amends." Though he wanted to make amends, he did not think that Ge Chen would let him go. He wished to chew off the heads of the receptionist and the security guard.
"That's why I told you to give me your number but you refused." Xue Lin calmed down quickly when she saw him bowing in public.
Louis wanted to cry. He wanted to exchange numbers with her. But beside her, Ge Chen was looking at him coolly and it made him scared. Realizing she was being protected by the mother hen, he could only refuse. He glared at the receptionist and the bodyguard. He curtly and coldly said, "For you to act so roughly to an important guest of mine, have you forgotten the office regulations? How long has it been since you joined here? Handover your resignation letters, take your salary from the Human Resources and Accounting Department, and leave before lunchtime."
"I'm so sorry, President! I've only done what Miss Clara told me to do. Please forgive me this time. I'll never make such mistakes again. I have got a wife and two children." The security guard lowered his head as much as he could and begged.
Miss Clara, the receptionist became as pale as a sheet. She also bowed and asked for forgiveness. She had been working here for three years only to be close to the President.
"Aren't you apologizing to the wrong person?" Louis coldly said. If he forgave them now, he would be the one who would lose his life later.
"I'm sorry, miss!"
"I'm sorry, I will never do this to you, miss!"
The two of them instantly bowed to Xue Lin and apologized.
The onlookers and other employees looked at him in astonishment. They couldn't believe that he would fire two long time employees for a girl. He had never done this in the past for his lovers. They came to a decision that he might be serious about this girl.
Louis could tell what they were thinking, so he hurriedly told his secretary, "Rene, please take Miss Xue Lin to my office and show her the design of the product. I'll deal with them first before going to the business."
His gorgeous secretary Rene said, "Most certainly, Boss." She looked at Xue Lin and said, "Miss Xue Lin, please come this way."
Now the employees grasped the situation. This little girl wasn't a lovesick teenager but an important customer of the company. They were too ashamed to show their faces. The onlookers also shut their mouths.
However, Xue Lin said, "Wait, don't fire them. They made a mistake and they learned from it. I think that's their biggest punishment for violating the rules. Let them go now and warn them not to do this sort of thing again." She was indeed mad at them and was angry about being physically manhandled. But she also understood that they had families to take care of. If they lost job now, she wouldn't be rewarded or it wouldn't be like something good will happen to her; but these people would starve and suffer.
They are human beings and human beings are bound to make mistakes. That's why people have a conscience. As long as they have it, they should be forgiven no matter how grave their crime is. This is the only way to bring back the bad people to the good side. Everyone needs to give them a second chance before the criminals start to think more negative thoughts.
That's how Xue Lin felt.
They got scolded and it was enough. There's no need for their family members to starve. It won't be easy to get a job after getting fired from a large company. And if they change themselves for good, the one who will be more than happy is Xue Lin herself.
If a person can bring someone to the good side, what can be more amazing than this?
