Chapter 1222 - 1211: Refusing to Be Oppressed
Looking at Ye Qiu’s fearless and arrogant demeanor, Zhao Sen was so angry that he ground his teeth, but he was really afraid that Ye Qiu had evidence in hand, so he kept enduring it.
However, he could endure Ye Qiu for the moment, but he couldn’t stand his subordinates watching him as a joke, so he angrily scolded the people in the office: "What are you all looking at? It’s work hours. If you don’t want to work, get out."
Although everyone was quite experienced and not afraid of getting fired without reason, Zhao Sen was still their superior and could easily make things difficult for them. Despite their curiosity about whether Ye Qiu really had evidence of Zhao Sen’s embezzlement, they all pretended to work honestly, though their ears were perked up to catch any snippets.
"I’m loyal and committed to the company. Would I embezzle company funds? Ye Qiu, I’m sparing you because you’re young. Come to my office." Zhao Sen said in a cold tone.
Then he said to Wang Lidan, "You come in too."
Wang Lidan glared fiercely at Ye Qiu, clacking her high heels as she followed Zhao Sen inside. But as she turned, her expression became anxious and fearful.
"Where’s the evidence?" As soon as Ye Qiu entered, Zhao Sen shut the door and stared at her.
Ye Qiu sat down casually, smiling at him: "Manager Zhao, as I said, give me the salary I should have received during my internship and sign my internship certification, then we’re even."
"How do I know if what you’re saying is true?"
"Manager, don’t you know my character? Haven’t I followed your orders every day this past month?"
"Ye Qiu, you’re still young and don’t realize how important it is to find a good job after school. Tell you what, hand over the goods to me, and I’ll immediately go to HR and make you a permanent staff member. I’ll add an extra thousand to the salary we agreed on before, and if there are promotion and raise opportunities in the future, I’ll consider you first." Zhao Sen suddenly took a conciliatory approach, looking at Ye Qiu with a warm expression.
Ye Qiu just turned her head with disgust: "Manager, don’t smile like that. It feels disgusting."
"You!" Zhao Sen was furious, but had no recourse, "What exactly do you want?"
"My terms are clear, Manager. Promise me those two things, and I’ll hand over the evidence to you. After that, we’ll probably never have the chance to meet again, which is better for you, isn’t it? You won’t have to worry about me threatening you anytime."
"How do I know you’re not tricking me?"
"Manager Zhao, to be frank, is it worth it for me to waste my time dealing with you? I have a lot of things to do! Seeing you and Sister Wang already ruins my appetite; why would I waste time at this company?"
Zhao Sen and Wang Lidan listened to her words with darkened expressions, hating her so much that they gnashed their teeth, but with Ye Qiu holding all the cards, they had no choice, which made their hearts ache with frustration.
"Keep your word."
"Don’t worry, I’m not like you, Manager."
Zhao Sen’s face darkened further as he restrained his anger and stood up: "I’ll go now to handle your resignation and internship certification."
"I’ll be here awaiting your good news, Manager!" Ye Qiu didn’t even move, watching Zhao Sen leave.
Wang Lidan still glared at her: "Young girl, so arrogant, you’ll regret this sooner or later."
"I can’t compare to you, Sister Wang. Not only seducing the boss but also bullying colleagues. I think karma will hit you sooner!" Ye Qiu said teasingly, with an annoying demeanor as if a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
"You little b**ch." Wang Lidan looked at her sinisterly.
"Sister Wang really knows herself, describing yourself so accurately." Ye Qiu replied nonchalantly.
"I said you’re the little b**ch." She trembled with anger.
"I think only someone like you, Sister Wang, who flirts with the boss while stringing along a boyfriend, can be considered a b**ch. I’m not, I don’t qualify." Ye Qiu said earnestly.
"You..."
"Ah, Sister Wang, Manager Zhao has already compromised with me. Do you think you’re tougher than the manager? Aren’t you even a bit afraid I’ll expose you to your boyfriend?"
"You think you can harm me? My boyfriend wouldn’t believe it." Wang Lidan said with insufficient confidence.
"Really? Since you’re so certain, next time we meet, I’ll casually mention it."
"What exactly do you want?"
"Wasn’t it you who first provoked me, Sister Wang?" Ye Qiu said innocently.
"Can I apologize to you?" Wang Lidan said reluctantly, wishing she could eat her alive with her eyes.
Ye Qiu ignored her, scrolling through her phone on her own.
Wang Lidan got anxious, really afraid she’d speak out: "I’m talking to you!"
Ye Qiu still ignored her, as if she hadn’t heard a word.
"I’ve already apologized. What do you want? Money? A thousand hush money, no more."
"Sister Wang, do you think I’m a beggar?"
"Two thousand, enough for two months’ living expenses at school, right?"
"Sister Wang, do you think I’m stupid? There’s a camera here; I won’t fall for your trap."
"You didn’t worry about the camera when you were threatening Manager Zhao just now."
"It’s different; the manager is even less likely to pull up the footage from earlier. Your situation is different."
"What will it take for you to let me off?" Wang Lidan was almost breaking down, deeply regretting provoking this troublemaker Ye Qiu in the first place.
This Ye Qiu too, being a venomous snake herself, why pretend to be a naive rabbit before? Didn’t she let people trample all over her on purpose? If she had known today would come, she would never have schemed against her!
"Sister Wang, no need to worry. I’m not interested in your affairs, nor do I want to waste time watching your downfall, since you’re not worth it. As long as you stay away from me in the future."
"Keep your word."
"I’m not like you, Sister Wang, with poor character." Ye Qiu sneered, and Wang Lidan’s heart ached with rage.
Meanwhile, Zhao Sen took Ye Qiu’s documents to HR to handle the resignation procedure. HR looked at him in surprise: "Isn’t this the intern we just hired? I remember she performed very well, so why is she resigning? And you’re handling it personally, Manager Zhao?"
Zhao Sen awkwardly smiled: "The little girl found a better opportunity, and she still has some work to wrap up, so I came to handle it for her since I’m free."
"I see, didn’t know you were such a good person, Manager Zhao."
Zhao Sen’s smile was even more begrudging: "It’s the right thing to do. I was young once too."
"Here is your internship proof, your resignation proof, and these, this is your salary for over a month. Now, can you give me the evidence?" Zhao Sen said with a grim face.
Ye Qiu looked over the proof, counted the money, and nodded with satisfaction: "Seems like you are quite efficient, Manager. If you’d been this efficient with processing my documents before, without deliberately making things difficult for me, I wouldn’t have to come to this fallout with you."
"Give me the evidence." Zhao Sen said in a deep voice.
