Chapter 114: What? My Full Attendance Bonus Is Gone?
Since Lu Yaohua regained consciousness, he had been busy like a spinning top. Before he could sort out his emotions, he had no choice but to face reality. It was not that he had not thought of pleading with the Old Master, but the other party had already given him two choices.
Either accept the arrangements obediently, or the Tang family would withdraw their investments immediately and leave him to head a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy and in debt.
He could not tell him that he wanted the best of both worlds.
If he said that, he would definitely be beaten up badly. After all, there was a saying that one could not have both the fish and the bear’s paw. He understood this principle.
He sighed heavily and walked into an unfamiliar yet familiar company like a ghost. Everyone knew that the Lu Corporation no longer had anything to do with him.
The Old Master was being generous by maintaining the name of the original company, the Lu Corporation, to this day. Perhaps this was on account of Tang Wenyi.
Speaking of which, it was not that he had not looked for Tang Wenyi after he regained consciousness. He met his wife reluctantly and with resentment, but he was rendered speechless by her after just saying a few words. In the end, she even threatened him with divorce. He had no choice but to concede defeat.
The more embarrassed he was, the more he wanted to hang on to Tang Wenyi, his only lifeline.
He gripped the leather bag in his hand tightly. He had thought that he would have no worries in his life and could enjoy himself freely outside of work. He did not expect that, overnight, he had to go back to working a nine-to-five job every day. As for the people who had followed him previously, they had also been demoted accordingly.
Fortunately, there was room for promotion for him. Since he could build a company from scratch, he would definitely be able to reach his previous heights!
The thought reignited his confidence and he strode towards the office.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a young man in a burgundy suit sitting in a leather chair. He said in a mean tone, “Lu Yaohua? You’re great! You’re late for work after only a few days? I didn’t mind the past few times because you just recovered from a serious illness. But it has been almost a week. Why are you still like this?”
He said sarcastically, “Don’t tell me you still think you’re the boss of the Lu Corporation? I’m being polite to you because of Old Master. Don’t take my politeness for granted. In all the companies in the world, which professional manager is as slack as you?”
Lu Yaohua frowned in displeasure and asked, “Who are you? What I do has nothing to do with you!”
“I forgot to introduce myself. I am now the CEO of the Lu Corporation, Ning Yuanxin. Perhaps I will be your superior from now on.”
Ning Yuanxin said with a fake smile.
He had been doing well in the capital and was about to be promoted to senior management. As he reached the peak of his life, he heard that he was going to be promoted to CEO. He thought that he would be the CEO of the Tang family branch!
He did not expect to be posted to Shanghai to manage a company that was about to go bankrupt. Who could stand this?
So he could only vent his anger on Lu Yaohua, who was one of the masterminds!
If not for Lu Yaohua, he would not have come to this godforsaken place.
And this promotion was not even as good as his previous job. Even his salary had not changed!
At first, he thought that if Lu Yaohua went to work obediently, he would not interfere too much because Tang Wenyi was there. However, not long after, the supervisor of the Human Resources department told him that Lu Yaohua was late for work.
Lu Yaohua had been working for so long, so he could not be unaware that 9 am was considered late.
Besides, it was not like he had not been given a chance!
He sneered. “Lu Yaohua, if you still can’t do this job well, then don’t blame me for complaining to Old Master. There are many people who want your job! You don’t even have to do anything to get such a high salary. Are you dreaming?”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “You were lucky to have the Tang family acquire the Lu Corporation in your previous life. Not only did you not thank them, but you also had the gall to neglect your work? So what if you married Third Miss? Old Master will not show you mercy on account of this.
Do you understand, Lu Yaohua?”
Lu Yaohua gritted his teeth and looked at him.?How long had it been! How long had it been since I was belittled like this?!?he thought.
“… Understood.”
“Good that you understood. I don’t want the Lu Corporation to turn into the Ning Corporation soon.”
Although he said that, Ning Yuanxin’s expression showed the opposite. He could not wait to change it to the Ning Corporation.
Before he left, he patted Lu Yaohua’s shoulder and smiled maliciously. “I’d like to see how long you can last here.”
Lu Yaohua slammed the table in anger!
He is just someone who works for the Tang family.?What right does he have to treat me like this?!
I’d be the head of the Tang family in the future!
His eyes widened at the thought.?When I reach that position, I’ll never let you off!
…
Ning Yuanxin did not know that Lu Yaohua was talking about him behind his back, but even if he did, he would not take it to heart. After he returned to his office, he sat down on the sofa and played with his phone as he fell into deep thought.
Should I call Old Master?
He hesitated for a moment before deciding to call. As expected, he could not stand Lu Yaohua.
“Old Master, Mr. Lu has been late for work recently. What should I do?”
Late?
On the other side, the old master looked disappointed and said, “Do what you have to do. Follow the company’s rules.”
“If he’s late for a week, he’ll be struck off the full attendance bonus and reprimanded. Do you think that’s fine?”
“Up to you. Since I’ve already entrusted the Lu Corporation to you, you can decide what you want to do.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, the Old Master’s face turned cold as he muttered, “He is really someone who can’t be helped! Forget it, since he was No. 3’s choice, she will naturally have to bear the consequences!”
Initially, he thought that if Lu Yaohua did a good job, he would let Ning Yuanxin stay in Shanghai to assist him. He did not expect him to be late every day for a week!
This is outrageous!?he thought.
What a disgrace to the Tang family!
He was even more certain that without the support of the Tang family, Lu Yaohua would not have achieved so much.
Lu Yaohua, who was far away in Shanghai, shivered.?Could someone be scolding me behind my back?
He shook his head. He must be thinking too much.
Right on the heels of that, he focused his gaze on the list in his hand. It clearly stated that this month’s full attendance bonus was gone. Back then, this rule was written by him!
It was to ensure that the employees did not slack off!
He did not expect such a day to come. This was a slap to his face.
Coupled with the company’s announcement just now, he could no longer hold his head high in the company!
