Su Wen immediately got unhappy. She tilted her head up and said, "I'm still on probation. You can't fire me without a reason. If you do this, I can apply for arbitration."
Wen Sining sneered. "Without a reason? Su Wen, I advise you to go back and read the labor contract you signed before saying this. I definitely have the right to fire you. Not only can I fire you, but if you keep pestering like this, I can also make you compensate the company according to the law. But I'm being nice to you and letting you leave on good terms because you've worked at Moxin for a few months. You'd better be sensible."
Su Wen visibly panicked. She pointed at Wen Sining and stammered "You, you, you" for a long time but couldn't say a complete sentence. Then, in a fit of rage, she took off her employee ID and threw it at Wen Sining, shouting:
"Humph, it's just a lousy company. I don't care if I quit. It's no big deal!"
After saying that, she angrily bumped Wen Sining's shoulder and walked away.
This turn of events stunned the onlookers.
Wen Sining then turned her gaze to the remaining people and said coldly, "Considering that you're all old employees of Moxin, this incident will be treated as a warning, and your bonuses for this month will be forfeited. Also, from now on, if I find anyone involved in similar things again, they will be fired immediately."
The last few words were addressed to all the onlookers. After saying that, she walked into the elevator without looking back.
She was extremely angry at the moment. If she didn't leave, she was really afraid that she would fire all these people!
Now, thinking about Qiao Xi's situation, she finally understood why Qiao Xi, who usually went home right after work, had gone to a bar and drunk so heavily last night. It must be because she had heard these people gossiping about her!
Wen Sining tried hard to calm her breathing. It took her a long time to calm down. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of her office. It was Donna.
"Yo, CEO Wen, still angry?" Donna handed her the iced coffee in her hand and said playfully.
Wen Sining tilted her head back and took a big gulp. She brushed her hair back irritably.
"You know about this too?"
"I found out right after you scolded those people. In this information - age society, news spreads really fast. How is it? I heard that Qiao Xi was ill and hospitalized. Is she okay?"
"Alcohol poisoning and drug allergy. There's no major problem for now, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days."
"Sining, as your friend and partner, I have to say something. Qiao Xi's ability to withstand setbacks is really too weak. She got drunk just because of a little bit of gossip. What will she do if she gets to a higher position in the future? Sining, you can't protect her forever. Are you going to fire people every time someone questions Qiao Xi? That's not realistic. What you're doing will only make Qiao Xi's image worse in their eyes."
Wen Sining rubbed the space between her eyebrows and slumped in her chair without any grace.
"I know, but I just can't help it. You know how hard Qiao Xi has worked. Everything she has now is achieved through her own efforts. But in the mouths of those people, it becomes something she got through connections... How sad must Qiao Xi have been when she heard these words."
But Donna just smiled indifferently.
"Do you remember how much hardship we endured, how much alcohol we drank, and how many people looked down on us when we first founded Moxin? We gradually developed Moxin to its current scale. Compared to us, what Qiao Xi has experienced is really mild."
At first, Donna and Wen Sining were just net - friends. As they communicated more, they both thought the other was their kindred spirit, so they met in person.
After the meeting, they found they were even more compatible. Coincidentally, they were in the same city, so their private communication gradually increased, and their relationship became closer.
After Wen Sining turned 18, she decided to establish Moxin, and Donna was the first person to unconditionally help her.
It can be said that Donna contributed the most to the successful establishment of Moxin.
Seeing Wen Sining looking so conflicted, Donna casually picked up the pen on the table and twirled it on her fingertip. She said, "Well, we can just take this opportunity to rectify the company. As the company has grown, all kinds of people have emerged."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Is that okay?"
"I'm more than happy to." Donna licked her lips, eager to start.
After that, they talked about some other projects for a while, and then Donna returned to her own office.
When Wen Sining took a break, she found it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. She rubbed her sore neck and always felt that she had forgotten something.
She thought about it for a while but couldn't remember, so she simply stopped thinking and continued working.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Wen Sining was about to get off work and go home when her phone suddenly rang.
"Lu Luochen? Why is he calling me at this time?"
Wen Sining mumbled to herself and pressed the answer button.
"Address." As soon as the call was connected, Lu Luochen's voice came through.
"Address? What address..."
Wen Sining was just about to ask in confusion when the long - forgotten memory suddenly hit her.
She finally remembered what she had said to Lu Luochen when he drove her to the company. She immediately slapped her forehead.
"Sorry, sorry. I was so busy this afternoon that I forgot. Well, come to the company to pick me up. I'll treat you to dinner at a restaurant I used to go to often."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sining quickly picked up her bag and rushed downstairs. While walking, she also didn't forget to reserve a table on her phone.
If she got there only to find there were no tables available, she would be so embarrassed that she might as well dig a hole in the ground.
Less than ten minutes later, Lu Luochen's car arrived downstairs of the Moxin office building. Wen Sining looked at him suspiciously. "Why did you come so fast?"
"I happened to be nearby." Lu Luochen explained very naturally. He wasn't going to tell Wen Sining that he had been waiting downstairs half an hour ago. In order not to arouse her suspicion, he had even driven around for a while before coming back.
"Okay, let's go then." Wen Sining didn't intend to dig deeper. She naturally got into the passenger seat and casually put her phone in the middle between them.
"This is the place. I've set the navigation. Just follow it."
"Was your company very busy today?" Lu Luochen asked casually, as if he was just asking if she had eaten.
His attitude was so natural that Wen Sining didn't think much and just answered him directly. "It was okay. There were just some problems with a few projects that needed to be dealt with."
"Are the problems serious? Do you need any help?"
"No. They're just small problems caused by the carelessness of some of my subordinates. I've almost dealt with them."
"If you need any help, just say so. After all, Moxin is now a partner of the Lu Group. You know the principle that we rise and fall together."
Wen Sining was stunned for a moment, and then put on a professional fake smile. "You can rest assured. Even if Moxin goes bankrupt, it won't cause any trouble to the Lu Group."
