Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

Zhang Dongting spoke in a very calm tone.

But it gave Zhang Quan a strong sense of oppression.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll go and call Manager Xu over right now."

Zhang Quan wiped the cold sweat from his brow and jogged away.

As soon as Zhang Quan left, Zhang Dongting looked at me with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I scary?"

I nodded: "A little."

I never expected Zhang Dongting, who usually likes to talk to me, to be so scary when she puts on a serious face.

Although she wasn't yelling at me, the pressure she put on me was no less than a mountain weighing on my heart.

Zhang Dongting chuckled upon hearing this, then said seriously, "Chen An, remember this: if someone deliberately targets you in the company, don't just tolerate it. Stand up boldly when it's time to fight back."

"Taking a step back doesn't lead to a brighter future; it only encourages further demands!"

"I can help you sort this out today, but you'll have to walk your own path from now on. I can't protect you every moment; you have to grow up quickly."

I clenched my fist tightly: "I understand, Sister Ting!"

As they were talking, Zhang Quan pushed open the door and walked in, with Xu Mingde following behind.

"Mr. Zhang."

Xu Mingde called out with a laugh, but the smile seemed unnatural, and it was unclear what Zhang Quan had just said to him.

Zhang Quan stood aside, not daring to breathe, and obediently hung his hands.

Before Zhang Dongting could speak, Xu Mingde spoke first.

"Mr. Zhang, it was indeed my idea to propose firing Chen An."

Zhang Dongting responded with an "oh," and asked with a half-smile, "Why not just report it directly?"

Xu Mingde cleared his throat and continued, "At first, I thought that I would let the newcomers run more business so that they could accumulate experience faster, but I really didn't expect Chen An to make such a big mistake."

"After the incident, the reason I suppressed the matter and did not report it was because Chen An had just joined the company, was young and inexperienced, and I did not want a small mistake to completely ruin his job. So I privately kept negotiating with President Zhou, hoping to make a big deal out of a small deal and a small deal out of a small deal."

"But the impact this time is too great, and I really can no longer cover it up privately. In order to give the company an explanation, I had no choice but to propose to deal with it strictly. I know that this is a bit harsh on Chen An, but the rules are in place, and I have no other choice."

Oh shit!

That old bastard talks a good game, as if everything he does is for my own good.

By putting all the blame on me, he actually managed to gain a reputation as a good manager.

Just as I was about to speak, Zhang Dongting suddenly said sarcastically.

"Manager Xu, you certainly know how to talk. You absolve yourself completely and push all the blame onto the newcomer. Is this how you act as a manager?"

Xu Mingde's smile froze, and he hurriedly defended himself: "President Zhang, I know it's my fault. If I had explained things more clearly, Chen An wouldn't have made such a serious mistake. Whatever punishment the company ultimately decides to impose, I will completely obey and will not utter a single complaint."

"very good!"

Zhang Dongting said calmly, "Then you should resign voluntarily."

Xu Mingde suddenly raised his head.

He was just saying it, so how did he get fired?

"Mr. Zhang..."

"Bang!"

Zhang Dongting angrily threw the documents on the table at Xu Mingde.

"Xu Mingde, you might fool newcomers, but you're still too green to pull that trick on me!"

She got angrier and angrier as she talked.

"You've worked with General Manager Zhou several times. Don't tell me you're unaware of his taboos: deliberately obscuring instructions, concealing crucial information, setting traps for newcomers, and now you're playing innocent, pushing all the blame onto a fresh-faced salesperson! Is this your style?!"

Xu Mingde broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "President Zhang, I... I was just careless for a moment, I didn't think of that much, it was definitely not intentional!"

"negligence?"

Zhang Dongting sneered, "This isn't negligence; it's using someone else to do your dirty work!"

After those words were spoken, the office fell silent.

Xu Mingde's face was ashen, and his voice trembled slightly: "President Zhang, I really just made a mistake. I... I really didn't mean any harm, it was just a work error..."

Zhang Dongting's gaze was icy, giving the other party no chance to breathe.

"As your direct supervisor, it's your responsibility to inform clients of taboos and guide new employees. But what did you do? You abused your position to maliciously frame a colleague, causing serious losses to the company!"

"From this moment forward, you are suspended from your duties for one month, your annual performance bonus is deducted, you are required to submit a public written apology, and further disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with company rules and regulations. If you engage in similar conduct again, you will be dismissed immediately and never rehired!"

Xu Mingde's legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.

He never expected that his carefully laid trap would not only fail to drive me away, but would instead result in my suspension and punishment.

Watching Xu Mingde walk out of the office looking dejected, all the grievances and anger that had been building up in my chest vanished, and I felt like I could roar to the heavens.

When I got back to Zhang Dongting's office and closed the door, Zhang Dongting suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Your sister helped you get revenge, how are you going to repay her?"

Looking at her close-set, sexy red lips, I felt a little restless.

"How will you repay me?"

What do you think?

Zhang Dongting used her hand to unbutton the first button of my shirt.

I glanced nervously at the office door and swallowed hard. "But...but this is an office."

Zhang Dongting pulled me by the tie, leading me into the lounge like a cow being led into the fold.

"Isn't an office just for working?"

……

An hour later, I walked out of the office, my legs trembling and my back aching.

My workstation was taken by a new employee, but Zhang Quan was very perceptive and moved me to a prime workstation in the very center of the office area, by the window.

This location is arguably the best spot in the entire office floor to slack off.

With its back to floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed views and ample natural light, it faces the office door directly.

The first thing the boss saw when he walked in was me working at my desk, which gave me an extremely respectable appearance.

Most importantly, there is a row of high partitions in front of this workstation, which just covers most of the desktop.

As long as I lower my head slightly, the movement on the computer screen and desktop is completely blocked, and outsiders cannot see what I am doing at all.

To outsiders, I will always be that diligent and hardworking employee.

I had deleted Bai Yan from my contacts because I thought I had been fired, but now that everything is fine, I've added her back.

I was immediately berated by Bai Yan as soon as I added her. I didn't dare to talk back at all, so I could only apologize with a smile and promise to treat her to a big meal next time before her anger subsided.

Bai Yan also explained to me that she didn't come for those few days because her beloved grandfather had passed away, and she was so heartbroken that she fell seriously ill.

When I got off work at 5:30, I wanted to go see Su Wan.

Then the group chat announced that a welcome dinner would be held for the newlyweds, and everyone had to attend. I couldn't escape it even if I wanted to.

Unlike the welcome dinner they hosted for me last time, this time it was just a regular street food stall, and the cost was deducted from the team building expenses.

Bai Yan didn't go, and Xu Mingde was suspended from his post today, so he naturally didn't come either.

Although I am a newcomer, after what happened today, everyone knows that I am Zhang Dongting's confidant, so naturally everyone revolves around me.

At the dinner table, both new and old employees toasted me, calling me "Brother Chen" repeatedly.

I was drinking when my phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Dongting calling me.

bad thing!

It wasn't until I saw her number that I realized who she was.

After finishing her business today, she said she had been looking for me all night and hadn't rested. She said she would take a nap in the break room and told me to call her after I finished eating.

How could I have forgotten about that?

I called to apologize, but as soon as the call connected, I heard a scream and the call was forcibly disconnected.

When I called back, it said the phone was switched off.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could something have happened?
