Xiao Li never expected that Alice had been fired by An Ke. No wonder things seemed so off today. Now Xiao Li really didn't dare to say a word. Seeing that Xiao Li had calmed down, Alice let out a cold snort. "What's wrong? Not daring to talk now? Are you scared, Xiao Li? Are you backing down now?"
Naturally, Xiao Li didn't dare to say much, but she wasn't going to give up easily either. "Then I hope Miss Su can find a better job than this one." After saying that, she obediently sat down in her own seat. Alice wanted to retort, but in the end, she just let out another cold snort.
After all, with her current status, it would be a joke to haggle too much with Xiao Li. Alice didn't say anything more. Since Xiao Li had admitted defeat, she continued to pack her things. The other employees in the company, seeing Alice's ugly expression, felt quite pleased.
However, they just sat there quietly, showing no expression on their faces. They all had their own things to do. Some were absent - mindedly looking at their hands, while others were pretending to be resting with their eyes closed, as if they knew nothing. But in fact, they were all listening to the conversation between Xiao Li and Alice, laughing heartily in their hearts.
"Xiao Li may not be suitable. It's not that I'm targeting her. Her personality just isn't a good fit... I..." Sister Meng was a bit tongue - tied. She was afraid that An Ke might misunderstand her intentions, but she really thought Xiao Li wasn't up to the task, not out of any personal bias.
An Ke pondered for a moment. Sister Meng had no reason to lie to her at this moment. Before, it seemed that Sister Meng and Xiao Li had a pretty good relationship. She didn't expect Sister Meng to speak so negatively about Xiao Li now. An Ke's lips curled slightly. Anyway, she had no intention of really letting Xiao Li take over.
"Okay, I understand. You can go out first." Sister Meng nodded gently. An Ke propped up her head. There were just too many things going on in the company.
She thought that even though the position of manager had great power, she shouldn't have taken it. But there was no turning back now. Since she had taken over, there was no way to back out.
Sister Meng walked out of the office. Looking at the strange atmosphere in the office area, she felt that something must have happened. Seeing Alice still lingering while packing her things, those who had previously pretended to be absent - minded all opened their eyes and looked at Sister Meng.
Sister Meng thought it was strange but didn't say anything. She just quietly started to pack her things, which really caught everyone's attention.
Just now, when Alice said she had been fired, everyone was quite happy. Now that Sister Meng was also packing her things, did it mean that Sister Meng might also have been fired?
Everyone else was quietly observing, but only Xiao Li couldn't hold back. "Sister Meng, what are you doing? Oh no, have you also been fired by Manager Su?" Xiao Li's expression was quite exaggerated. Sister Meng impatiently pushed Xiao Li away. She really didn't have the mood to deal with Xiao Li anymore.
Xiao Li just looked at Sister Meng in confusion. "I haven't been fired. You should worry about yourself. I've taken a half - month leave and won't be coming to the company for a while, so I'm packing my things here."
Sister Meng looked around and found that everyone was secretly looking at her, so she explained to Xiao Li. This was an explanation for Xiao Li and also for everyone else, just to let them work in peace.
Now that they knew Sister Meng wasn't fired, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Sister Meng had really been fired, it would have seemed like An Ke was taking revenge.
They wouldn't have been able to work in peace then, always being afraid that An Ke might fire them. Now they could finally relax.
Alice was finally leaving. She gave Sister Meng and Xiao Li a cold look. "I'll remember your kindness to me. I'll repay you when I get the chance." Then she turned around and left. Xiao Li was so scared that she hid behind Sister Meng to avoid Alice's gaze.
"I'm leaving too. Xiao Li, work hard."
Sister Meng picked up her things, said this, and then left without looking back. Xiao Li felt a sense of emptiness. Looking at her own hands, for the first time, Xiao Li felt that she might really have done something wrong.
After Sister Meng and Alice left, An Ke finally came out of the office. "I fired Alice and approved Sister Meng's leave today. Maybe you'll wonder why I treated them so differently. I just want to say that from now on, I'll focus on ability." An Ke said directly, with a serious tone.
The others all chimed in in agreement. Seeing this, An Ke felt relieved. She really didn't want to spend all her energy on the interpersonal relationships in the company. "Since Sister Meng won't be here for a while, Xiaohuan will take over her position. Xiaohuan, can you handle this position?"
Xiaohuan had always been a nobody in the company, like a transparent person. Suddenly being named by An Ke, she was quite startled, but she still nodded vigorously.
This was a rare opportunity for her, and she definitely wouldn't waste it. "Manager, I definitely won't let you down."
An Ke nodded and then left, not noticing Xiao Li's hateful look.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family in the country, "Look at what you've done. How could you be my daughter?" Jiang Zekai was extremely angry and slapped Jiang Man directly.
Jiang Man wasn't prepared at all and couldn't dodge. She took the slap full - force. She felt quite wronged, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Then she touched her cheek in disbelief. This was the first time Jiang Zekai had ever lost his temper and hit her since she could remember. "Dad, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?"
Because of her anger, Jiang Man didn't even show the usual respect for Jiang Zekai and spoke in a questioning tone. Jiang Zekai got even angrier and wanted to hit her again.
But at this moment, Mrs. Jiang came back. "Husband, what are you doing? Man'er is still a child!" Seeing this, she quickly pulled the father and daughter apart.
Jiang Zekai was usually gentle and refined. He always boasted that he was a Confucian businessman, so he never interfered in family matters.
This was the first time he had hit a child. It was all because of the humiliation. Now Jiang Man was like a stain on Jiang Zekai. He didn't need a daughter like this.
"You'd better ask your precious daughter. You're just like her. If you make me a laughing - stock in the future, you can both get out of this house."
Jiang Zekai was naturally cold - hearted. He didn't have deep feelings for anyone. Maybe it should be said that only interests could drive his emotions.
So he could say such things without mercy, regardless of anyone's feelings.
