"You're welcome, we are all colleagues, it's just a small matter." Xue Chen said nonchalantly.
Yao Qingqing glanced at Xue Chen from time to time. After driving for a while, she suddenly said with courage: "Mr. Xue, I want to admit my mistake to you."
"Admit a mistake?" Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, "What mistake?"
Yao Qingqing faced Xue Chen in shame: "Mr.
Xue Chen suddenly realized: "Oh, this is it."
Yao Qingqing gently grabbed Xue Chen's arm and said with great embarrassment: "Mr. Xue, this job is very important to me. I can't lose it. Can you forgive me? Please."
Xue Chen was puzzled. I just browsed the shopping website and looked at my phone. I didn't say I wanted to fire you.
Glancing at Yao Qingqing from the corner of his eye, he saw that her cheeks were slightly red due to excitement, and her bright eyes were looking at him with a pitiful look. She didn't look like she was slacking off at work, but she looked like she had made a huge mistake.
"Mr. Xue, please, I will never do it again, and I will listen to you in the future..." Yao Qingqing bit her thin lips and whispered with rosy cheeks.
Xue Chen gradually understood that Yao Qingqing seemed to be deliberately putting the "handle" into his arms, even if he didn't want it. His look of "I will do whatever you ask me to do" made him even more confused.
Some couldn't laugh or cry.
He couldn't help but think that although the three directors looked down on him as the vice president, it seemed that the employees below did not ignore him.
"Okay, I forgive you, just don't do it again in the future." Xue Chen waved his hand and asked, "Where is your home?"
“Mr.
Xue Chen raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Yao Qingqing: "Well, I think it's better not to ask me to take you with you in the future, so as not to have to take a taxi again, which may be more expensive than taking a taxi downstairs in the company."
Yao Qingqing was startled, and her expression suddenly became unnatural.
After Yao Qingqing got off the car, Xue Chen did not go back to his place of residence, but drove to Jinguan City. During this period, he would go there every now and then to see what daily necessities he still lacked and buy some.
When he parked his car in the underground parking lot of Jinguan City, Xue Chen accidentally noticed that a white BMW sedan a few parking spaces away looked very familiar. He glanced at the license plate and looked surprised: "Hey, it's Cui
The director’s car, is her home located in Jinguan City?”
The parking spaces of the two cars were in the same area, which meant that they were probably in the same building. Xue Chen touched his chin and his eyes gradually lit up.
Early in the morning, Cui Fenglan prepared meals, took care of the housework, left home, went downstairs, and came to the underground parking lot. When she was about to get in the car, someone suddenly stopped her.
"Director Cui, Sister Lan?"
Cui Fenglan turned around and saw Xue Chen standing a few parking spaces away from him, and said in surprise: "Mr. Xue, why are you here?"
"Sister Lan, don't call me Mr. Xue in private. Just call me Xue Chen. My home is here. Sister Lan, is your home here too?" Xue Chen came over with a surprised look on his face.
"My home is here." Cui Fenglan nodded.
"My home is on the 16th floor of Building 3." Xue Chen said.
"I'm on the 18th floor of Building 3." Cui Fenglan said in surprise.
"I didn't expect that we are still neighbors." Xue Chen said with a smile, "Sister Lan, look at this, what a coincidence. I invited you to dinner yesterday, but you didn't agree. How about this? I invite you to come to my house today and have a chat with me.
Your husband still has children, let’s visit each other.”
Cui Fenglan hesitated for a moment, but before she could speak, Xue Chen made the decision: "That's it, Sister Lan, hurry up and get in the car, or you'll be late because of the traffic jam on the road."
Xue Chen got in the car first and turned on the heater at the same time. He thought to himself that the temperature in the parking lot was quite cold in the morning. He had waited for more than half an hour to meet Cui Fenglan!
After arriving at the company, Xue Chen had just sat down in the office for less than ten minutes when Yu Tao, the director of the administrative department, knocked on the door and came in, handing him a document.
After Xue Chen took the document, there was amusement on his lips, because this was the first time that Yu Tao took the initiative to bring him a document for review since the establishment of Yunteng Auction.
After handing the documents to Xue Chen, Yu Tao was not in a hurry to leave. For the first time, he invited Xue Chen to have a meal with him in the evening.
"Of course I can't refuse Director Yu's invitation, but I'm really invited in the evening, so let's do it. I'll be the host at noon, and that's it." Xue Chen said to Tao without any doubt.
There was a restaurant specializing in Shandong cuisine just outside the Hongtong Building. Xue Chen decided to stay there and walked into the booked private room with Yu Tao. When the dishes were served, Xue Chen ate to his heart's content. Yu Tao basically didn't use his chopsticks at the restaurant.
.
"Mr. Xue, I want to ask you something." Yu Tao said hesitantly.
"Oh, Director Yu, just tell me if you have anything to say." Xue Chen picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, looking at Yu Tao.
"How much do you know about the corruption and embezzlement of public funds that you told me yesterday?" Yu Tao asked.
"I have already grasped part of this matter. The investigation is not complicated, and the amount involved is not large. A rough estimate is only between 10,000 and 20,000. I think if I don't report it, Mr. Ning and the group may not remember it.
This matter only costs ten to twenty thousand yuan, who would care about it, right?" Xue Chen stared at Yu Tao and shrugged.
Yu Tao took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Mr. Xue, in this case, I hope you won't report it..."
After returning to the company, Xue Chen said with concern to Tao before entering the office: "Director Yu, you should play cards moderately in the future, as it will hurt your body."
Yu Tao sighed and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, for your concern. I will pay attention to it."
After work, Xue Chen returned to Jinguan City and called Cui Fenglan. After a while, Cui Fenglan came to Xue Chen's home with her husband and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old son.
"Welcome, welcome, these three are my first guests after moving here." Xue Chen enthusiastically welcomed the three of them into the living room.
Cui Fenglan's husband is a very steady-looking man with an elegant demeanor. He said with a smile: "Then we are quite honored. I heard from Fenglan that the two vice presidents of the company are very young. Now that I see it, they are indeed young talents.
.”
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Cui Fenglan saw more than a dozen dishes already laid out on the kitchen table, and asked in surprise: "Xue Chen, what is this?"
"That's right, at noon I called Jinbihuihuang and asked a chef to come over, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cook a table of dishes." Xue Chen explained with a smile.
During the meal, Xue Chen chatted with the two of them, and their relationship gradually became much closer. After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Moreover, Xue Chen was Cui Fenglan's superior, so he warmly invited them.
When she accidentally mentioned their son's studies, Cui Fenglan said with some helplessness that her son was about to enter high school, but his studies were average and he was just a few points short of entering the No. 1 Middle School, the best middle school in Haicheng City. The two were looking for a way out.
.
"No. 1 Middle School..." Xue Chen's eyes moved, but he didn't say much.
After a visit, the relationship between Xue Chen and Cui Fenglan immediately became closer.
The half-month observation period is getting closer and closer, and the employees in the company are also working hard and meticulous, fearing that they will be fired.
When employees from various departments received the notice from Ning Jede to go to the conference room for a meeting, every employee felt like they were entering a battlefield, gritting their teeth and feeling uneasy.
In the conference room, Ning Jiede sat at the head of the conference table. Xue Chen, Xia Yike and the director of the department sat on both sides. The ordinary employees sat scattered.
When the conference room completely quieted down, Ning Jed glanced at every employee's face and said in a calm voice: "The company has been running for half a month, and the observation period I mentioned has expired. What I have in my hand is
The layoff list submitted by the two vice presidents will be used by me to decide which employees will be laid off."
Looking at the two folded sheets of paper picked up by Ning Jiede, the employees below held their breath.
"This is the list submitted by Vice President Xue." Ning Jiede opened the list handed over by Xue Chen and showed it to the employees below.
When they saw that the list was blank, every employee breathed a sigh of relief, including Yu Tao, director of the administrative department, who also quietly loosened his clenched fists.
At this time, Xue Chen smiled lightly and said: "According to my observations during this period, the work attitude of every employee here deserves recognition. Although they occasionally make some small mistakes, their flaws are not hidden, and they are good employees worthy of staying."
.”
Wow.
Xue Chen's words immediately won applause from all employees.
Xia Yike on the other side glanced at Xue Chen coldly.
Ning Jiede opened the list submitted by Xia Yike again. After opening it, he took a look at it and his expression changed slightly in an instant.
In the eyes of all the employees, he flashed the slip of paper with only one name written on it. The name written on it was no one else, just two words: Xue Chen.
Seeing that the only person Xia Yike proposed to lay off turned out to be Xue Chen, the vice president of the same level as him, the employees below breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other in surprise.
Xue Chen was stunned when he saw his name on the list.
Ning Jiede thought for a while and said: "Since the two vice presidents have not proposed a list of layoffs, there will be no layoffs this time. However, I hope that you can maintain your current working status and enthusiasm and contribute to the development and growth of the company."
Send out your own light and heat, okay, let’s break up.”
When all the employees started to get up and prepare to leave, Ning Jiede waved his hand and asked the two vice presidents and the directors of the four departments to stay. (To be continued)
