"Alice, look at yourself. You don't look like a Miss Su at all. Without the Su family, you're nothing. It's ridiculous that you still dare to covet things that don't belong to you."
"Knock, knock... knock, knock... knock, knock." An Ke watched the dejected Alice and felt that all her pent - up anger over the days had vanished. This was just a small interest. Alice had owed her so much over the years. How could she let her off so easily?
Hearing the knock on the door, An Ke glanced at the unresponsive Alice. "Come in..." Sister Meng hesitated for a moment after hearing An Ke's voice but still pushed the door open.
She knew that An Ke was talking to Alice, but she really had something urgent to tell An Ke. So it was a bit of an intrusion, but she didn't care.
"I've said all I wanted to say about Alice's matter today. I hope I won't see you in the company this afternoon!"
An Ke didn't wait for Sister Meng to come in but directly said to Alice. Alice didn't expect An Ke to be so ruthless. It seemed that she had no room to resist and could only leave.
Alice nodded silently and left directly. When leaving, she even bumped into Sister Meng. She wondered if Sister Meng had heard her conversation with An Ke.
Alice still glared at Sister Meng fiercely and then angrily slammed the door shut. Sister Meng didn't mind.
She didn't react at all to what she had just heard. Anyway, she came for something. "Sister Meng, I'm wondering what brings you here at this time?"
An Ke asked curiously. It was really strange. Usually, Sister Meng and Xiao Li had always been against her. If it were someone else, they would have already taken action against them.
Although An Ke didn't care much because of Sister Meng and Xiao Li's good work ability, Sister Meng should not know her thoughts. Sister Meng looked at the resignation form in her hand and felt a bit more confident. "Manager, I'm planning to resign. Here's my resignation letter."
An Ke raised her eyebrows and looked at Sister Meng. She didn't understand Sister Meng's intention to resign. But if she really fired Sister Meng, her own reputation would be bad. So An Ke put the resignation letter aside.
"Sister Meng, please sit down. Regarding your resignation, I'd like to know the reason. Is that okay?"
Sister Meng didn't want to share her misfortunes with the person she used to hate the most. "It's okay, Manager. I'm in a hurry. I hope you can sign it as soon as possible."
Since Sister Meng didn't want to say, An Ke couldn't just sign it. Sister Meng's words actually piqued her curiosity.
An Ke put down her work and finally looked up at Sister Meng. "Sorry, without a good reason, I can't sign your resignation letter. Moreover, you've signed a contract. According to the contract, you still need to work here for another two years. So... are you willing to talk to me now?"
Sister Meng looked at An Ke silently. She knew her request was a bit unreasonable, but she had no choice. The company's benefits and salary were good.
If possible, she didn't want to resign either, but she had to. "Manager, something has happened in my family, and I have to deal with it personally."
An Ke didn't understand why she had to resign instead of asking for a leave.
Sister Meng continued, "I originally wanted to ask for a leave, but I think the time I need is quite long. I'm worried that the leave request won't be approved, so I'd better just resign."
Sister Meng's father had passed away, and she had to leave Lin City to handle the funeral.
Moreover, her mother was alone and needed her care. Sister Meng planned to take at least half a month off. If it were the previous manager, she was confident that she could get the leave approved.
But now the manager was An Ke, the one she used to be against. She had no confidence and could only do this.
But she couldn't tell An Ke these things. An Ke pondered for a while. She understood what Sister Meng hadn't said, but she still decided to give Sister Meng half a month's leave.
"Okay, take back your resignation letter. It's just half a month's leave. I can approve it for you. We'll talk about the rest when you come back. What do you think?"
Sister Meng stood up excitedly. "Thank you, Manager Su. I thought you... Thank you..." Sister Meng was a bit incoherent, but An Ke didn't mind.
Although she didn't appreciate Sister Meng's personality, her work ability was really good, and she had been working here for so many years. An Ke really couldn't let her resign.
"It's okay. You can leave now. Deal with your things as soon as possible and come back after you're done. As for your work, I'll arrange someone else to take over. What do you think of Xiao Li? You're always with her. She should be able to handle your work, right?"
Outside the door, after Alice left An Ke's office, she started to pack her things. Since An Ke had spoken, it didn't make sense for her to stay stubbornly.
Xiao Li looked at Alice's actions curiously and quickly came up to ask, "Alice, what are you doing?"
Since Alice was leaving, she didn't plan to endure any longer. She had always hated Xiao Li, a person who always changed sides. Now that Xiao Li had come to her, Alice wasn't polite. "What I'm doing has nothing to do with you." After saying that, still feeling not satisfied enough, she directly slapped Xiao Li.
Xiao Li covered her face in disbelief. Was Alice crazy? Why did she suddenly attack her? "Alice, are you crazy? You..."
Alice looked at Xiao Li. Although she couldn't defeat An Ke, she didn't take someone like Xiao Li seriously at all. "Who do you think you are, shouting at me? Remember, no matter what, my status is not something you can ever reach."
Xiao Li was completely stunned by Alice. Was Alice really okay? "Alice, you..."
Alice was right. She really didn't have the qualification to go against Alice. But now that she had been bullied, she was also unwilling to back down.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I used to endure, but now I won't. You all have to endure me." Alice sneered and looked at the silent people around.
"Alice, even if you're a Miss Su, so what? As long as you're still an employee of the company, you have to behave. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what..." Before Xiao Li could finish her sentence, Alice had already directly questioned her. Xiao Li was intimidated by Alice's powerful aura and couldn't say a word for a moment.
"I've already resigned. I won't work in the company this afternoon. Xiao Li, what can you do to me?"
