The Secretary-General endured another episode and, after reprimanding Gu Wenjuan a few sentences, her sincere and apologetic smile made him feel a bit better.
The Secretary-General had always felt that, although Gu Wenjuan was a parachuted employee without academic qualifications, she at least was diligent and reliable.
However, as Gu Wenjuan became more and more glamorous and radiant, her work attitude also became less rigorous than before.
After another leave request from Gu Wenjuan, the Secretary-General finally lost his patience and said, "Gu Wenjuan, this job didn’t come easy for you. It’s because of Special Assistant Yu’s relationship with the President that I’ve trusted you again and again, believing you must have a reason for taking leave. But this doesn’t mean you can disregard the company’s rules and regulations. You’ve asked for leave six times this month, when the maximum allowed is five times, and you still have to give a reason. If you still value this job, then retract your leave request and concentrate on your work from now on!"
In fact, Gu Wenjuan was inconsequential.
Anyone in the office could handle her little tasks.
The thing is, whether they missed her or not was one matter; whether she actually did her job well was another.
The Secretary-General felt his patience had reached its limit.
When Gu Wenjuan heard these stern words from the Secretary-General, tears immediately began to fall, "I’m... I’m really sorry, Secretary-General, I truly had something urgent..."
The Secretary-General, famously impartial and unmoved by women’s tears, said, "What’s the matter this time? Speak up."
Gu Wenjuan stammered, "I..."
The Secretary-General shook his head, "Step out."
In a panic, Gu Wenjuan said, "Secretary-General, I..." For original chapters go to novelꜰire.net
The Secretary-General said, "Out."
Gu Wenjuan felt a flutter of panic.
Sure enough, she watched the Secretary-General emerge from his office and walk into Yu Chen’s office.
When Yu Chen heard what the Secretary-General said, he fell silent for a moment and then replied, "I’ll speak with the President about it. However, if she crosses the line again, then punish her as she deserves. There’s no need to be lenient on anyone’s account."
The Secretary-General finally heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Special Assistant Yu."
This Gu Wenjuan really didn’t know what was good for her.
After the Secretary-General left, Yu Chen entered Yu Siqiao’s office.
Yu Siqiao had been almost going crazy with busyness lately, especially after the wedding date was set – not only was he busy with work, but he also had to prepare for the wedding.
Worried about overburdening Mo Shu, Yu Siqiao hadn’t breathed a word to her that he had started preparing for the wedding.
So, Yu Chen was also run off his feet.
Normally, the Secretary-General could deal with a minor secretary’s issue, whether it was to dock pay or to fire them outright.
But the difficulty lay in the fact that she was a person Mo Shu had planted there.
This made things complicated.
Yu Chen briefly reported the Secretary-General’s complaints to Yu Siqiao.
Yu Siqiao, already dead tired, was irked by these petty concerns and said, "Why keep such an employee? Should we wait for her to celebrate the grand reunion during the New Year?"
Yu Chen felt a bit troubled, "This person was sent by Princess Mo. Should we talk to Princess Mo about it?"
Yu Siqiao said, "Talk it over, my ass. She was sent by Mo Shu to test me. She irritates me just by being there. Tell her to get lost quickly!"
Yu Chen was speechless.
And so, before the workday was over, Gu Wenjuan was summoned away by someone from the HR department.
