Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 824
Chapter 824: Really Fired
“Let’s go. When you come out again, they’ll be far away and won’t bother you anymore.” Chu Lui held her hand. To him, it was just firing a few security guards. Not to mention them—even if she wanted him to kick Du Jingtang out of the company, he would do it without hesitation.
The few security guards did not even know that they did. How could a word from a mere woman make their CEO muddled and fire them?
They were still hoping that the CEO said it casually.
In a big company like the Chu Enterprise—let alone a security guard, even the welfare of a cleaner was extremely good; and it was not easy to come in. Working here was a cradle-to-grave job; if one did not make a big mistake—under normal circumstances, their job would be secured. Just that they had never expected that their job could be taken away so easily by a woman’s mere command.
When the manager of human resources asked them to go in, their heart became cold; and they were scared.
“This is your salary for two months that the CEO gave to you as compensation. You can leave after you sign the documents.”
However, the security guards did not even know what they did wrong. Why must they be fired?
“Manager, I want to know what exactly we did wrong. Why does the CEO want to fire us?”
“This… I’m not too sure.” The manager did not answer the question and could only say that they were unlucky and offended people they should not.
“Manager, we didn’t do anything wrong. The company can’t just fire us at will. We have a contract.” The other security guard said, and there was a vague threat in his voice.
The smile on the manager’s face dropped. Why? Was he using it to threaten him? If he did not have any capabilities, he would not have become the manager. He was not that easy to be manipulated. If he could not handle such a small matter, he would have been fired along with them.
He took out their employment contract from the drawer in a jiffy and threw it in front of them. “Very good. You can go sue if you want. You can come back when you sued our CEO.”
The Chu Enterprise was such a big company that made large profits. One could try to sue, but others might not even care about them. Besides, it was written clearly on the contract.
The company had the right to fire their employees, and the retrenched ones could enjoy a retrenchment fee up to two or three times their pay. The contract allowed the company to fire without explanation.
The employment contract in the Chu Enterprise was done up by over twenty experienced lawyers and was modified countless times. One should not think that Chu Lui opened the company to serve the people; he was a businessman and wanted to earn money. Therefore, the eventual profits on this contract were for him; and if one wanted to use the contract and attack Chu Lui, it was impossible.
The faces of the security guards darkened. Naturally, they were just saying. How could they fearlessly sue the company? The lawyer fees alone would cost them a bomb, and besides, which lawyer would dare to take this case?
“Then, can we know?” One of the security guards could not take it lying. “Who on earth did we offend?”
The manager only smiled at them insincerely and did not respond.
This time, the side door opened, and a thin lady walked in. Her eyes were huge, but it was covered by a layer of mist; it was watery and beautiful. Her chin was sharp, and her face was small; these complemented well with her distinct features. There were many unspeakable feelings, and she got prettier as she became skinnier.
She did not smile and walked to the couch at the side before landing her gaze on a few people.
“Do you remember me?” she asked lightly.
Those few people looked at each other and nodded. “Aren’t you Ms. Xia? The one in charge of the welfare home? Your office is on the seventeenth floor.”
Xia Ruoxin smiled again. Everyone in the office was wearing tags at the front which stated their name and position clearly. If not, how could they recognize her when she did not even look familiar?
However, it was clearly not enough if they only remembered her title.
“Mm…” She nodded. “I am that Ms. Xia. Of course…” Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked to the few of them. She habitually flipped her hair. “I think you all would have forgotten that a year ago—when I came here to look for Chu Lui, you pushed me away like I was a dog and trampled on my dignity.”
The few security guards’ faces changed. True enough, they had no impression as they had thrown out too many women. Was it really because of that so that they had to leave the company?
Xia Ruoxin touched the ring on her finger which had a big pink gem on it. It was not cheap and was almost the size of a goose egg, which could blind their eyes.
She looked down, and her smile was still on her face.
“Even the lowliest people of the world have parents who raised them and their dignity. You can ask them to leave, but you can’t trample on their miserable lives.” In the past, she did not take it to heart as she felt that there was no need to. Now, she understood that the world really had bastards that bullied the weak. So, in order to not let herself get bullied, she would have to be the bully.
When she finished talking, she turned around and left. The human resource manager could only smile politely and open the door. “All of you, you can leave now.”
There was going to be havoc in the company soon; however, it was none of his business. Others might not know about that Ms. Xia, but he did. She was the CEO’s ex-wife. However, there were things that no one could be certain of because no one knew when a person would be given a new lease on life and rise from the dead. Then, the wheels of fortune would turn.
Xia Ruoxin went up the lift and was not a stranger to the place as she had worked here for a few months before. She stopped at the seventeenth floor and walked in. Inside, there was still a large meeting room, and only one individual office was on this floor. In the whole company, only the seventeenth floor had the same decorations as the CEO’s office. To say that this was the closest place to the man’s office, it was not a lie.
She opened the office door, and it was still the same without any changes. However, the flower that she placed on her table had already died, and the leaves had withered.
