Chapter 20 The Mysterious New General Manager
Thunder exploded, and Linghu Shuo's mentality also exploded.
"I'll go, this, this, this..."
Xiao Shuo was really confused by Linghu Shuo's strange behavior, and asked with a question mark: "Is this why you asked me to bring you here?"
"Of course not!"
Linghu Shuo clicked here and there anxiously to see if there was any option such as regretting the move.
The result is self-evident, of course there is no such thing! If this game had a "regret" option, wouldn't it be possible to pass the highest difficulty easily even if you call it Wangcai?
Linghu Shuo's heart dropped, and he bravely restarted the game, then clicked twice on the game interface, and then moved as far away from the mouse as he could, pretending that he had never touched it.
"Yes, that's it. It was like this before I came here. No one has ever touched it. It's very, very good."
Linghu Shuo used these words to deceive himself in order to feel at ease.
"Ahem...well, let's get down to business."
Forgetting the incident, Linghu Shuo took the time to look for the rumored layoff list.
"Where is it? The director didn't lock it in the safe, right?"
Linghu Shuo was rummaging around on his desk that was full of things. Suddenly, a man opened the door and walked in.
"I'm here, you said."
I came in with a phone call. Could it be that the director is back?
Linghu Shuo was petrified on the spot. When he was so nervous that he was about to faint, he suddenly thought: Hey, I'm invisible now, and the director can't see me. What am I afraid of?
Thinking of this, Linghu Shuo really wanted to slap himself and asked himself why he was so timid?
"It's on the table, right? OK, OK, let me look for it."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Linghu Shuo quickly left the vicinity of the desk and walked towards the wall with small steps as silently as possible.
After he reached the wall and stopped, Linghu Shuo turned around and realized that it was not the director who came in, but his colleague Hao Zi.
Haozi rummaged around on the table and finally picked up a car key.
"I found the director, I'll go down right away, okay." Haozi hung up the phone and walked out quickly with the key.
Linghu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be able to continue looking for the evil layoff list soon, but who would have thought that when Haozi walked to the door, he didn't know which muscle he had hit wrong, and suddenly he came back again!
Haozi put the keys in his coat pocket and then rummaged around on his desk.
Linghu Shuo was still confused at first, but after a little thinking, he guessed that Haozi also wanted to see who was on the layoff list for peace of mind.
Linghu Shuo walked towards Haozi step by step, and before he could reach him, Haozi found the layoff list from a folder.
Several names were listed vertically on the list, and Haozi couldn't help shouting yes! Then he quickly returned the layoff list to its original place and trotted to give the director the keys.
Linghu Shuo saw Hao Zi's cheerful look and knew that he would not be laid off this time. After the door closed, Linghu Shuo took out the layoff list again.
As expected, the three characters Linghu Shuo were at the second to last position in the list of names. Who was the last one? It was Xiao Wu who was heartless and went to eat.
Although Linghu Shuo had already thought that this would be the case, after seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt as uncomfortable as a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
...
The lunch break is over and everyone comes back to continue working.
Xiao Wu came back laughing and joking, and patted Linghu Shuo on the shoulder when he passed by Linghu Shuo.
"Brother Shuo, are you feeling better?"
"Well...much better."
Linghu Shuo hesitated whether to tell Xiao Wu about the list. After thinking about it, he finally decided to let Xiao Wu laugh like this for a while longer.
As the saying goes, how long can there be in life? A moment of happiness is just a moment!
Linghu Shuo gradually figured it out and was about to stand up for the last shift and complete the work at hand when the director walked out of the office without warning and walked towards the office area.
Is the layoff list going to be announced now? Linghu Shuo was extremely confused.
"Everyone please stop for a moment, I will announce something."
The director clapped his hands loudly as he spoke, and no matter how much work was on his hands, he had to put aside his work to listen to the director's words.
"Ahem, everyone must have heard that our general manager has been suffering from all kinds of serious and minor ailments because of his love for work. At the beginning of this month, our general manager..."
As the director spoke, he suddenly looked like I'm sad but I'm not crying, as if the general manager... had left forever.
Linghu Shuo looked at it for a moment and murmured in a low voice: "Isn't it because the general manager has appendicitis that he went to the hospital to have his appendix removed? Could it be that... he cut it wrong?"
"The general manager finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to the hospital for treatment. The operation..." the director sobbed as he rushed. "It was very successful! But on the way home from the hospital, the general manager had a car accident and is still in the ICU."
Linghu Shuo's jaw dropped in shock, wondering what evil the general manager had done. He had just escaped the surgery and was followed by a car accident... It flashed on the CD.
"The company cannot live without a manager for a day. Since we don't know whether General Manager Wang can come back, the head office decided to send a new manager to temporarily take over this position."
After hearing this, Linghu Shuo suddenly realized that the director was not announcing layoffs, but the upcoming arrival of a new leader.
The employees below, including Linghu Shuo, all looked around. Most of them were worried about whether they would be able to live as easily as before after the new leader came. Linghu Shuo was among the few who were wondering about what would happen after the new leader came.
The layoff plan will not be cancelled.
"Director, when will the new general manager take office?" Someone asked from below.
The director took out his cell phone and took a look at it.
"They say they will arrive this afternoon, so it should be soon, right? Let's continue working first, and don't forget to applaud when the new leader comes later."
The people below all nodded in agreement and continued working.
The sun is gradually setting towards the west.
What the director said is quick, just transfer the time until the end of the day.
Everyone packed their things and got ready to go home from work, but the new general manager who had been on the road all afternoon still didn’t even show her face. Those who didn’t know better thought she had set off from Mars!
All the chats among colleagues were about the new general manager. Everyone was wondering who this new general manager was. He dared to ignore the entire company for an entire afternoon!
Linghu Shuo leaned on the back of his chair and blew the curtain in front of him idly, as if he wanted to stay out of the incident.
What I'm thinking about is that I will most likely be fired. Even if the new general manager is the Jade Emperor, what does it have to do with me? Unless the new general manager wants to do a "general amnesty" in order to win people's hearts.
If there really was a "general amnesty", Linghu Shuo swore that he would "kneel down and lick" her!
The director secretly observed in the office and saw that everyone was in a hurry to get off work. Of course, it was indeed time to get off work. He hesitated for a while and finally came out to comfort them.
"Well, everyone hasn't left yet."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Everyone answered vaguely.
Who dares to leave first before the new general manager arrives? If he stood up and left in a cool manner, wouldn't that be equivalent to actively writing his name on the layoff list?
Linghu Shuo really wanted to ask the general manager whether he was coming today or not. After hesitating for a while, he finally summoned up the courage to speak, but unfortunately the call came at this time.
Chapter completed!
