Xiao Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale when she heard this. She knew that if she did not fight for an opportunity for herself now, she would really lose her job. “Miss Gu, 1 really didn’t do it on purpose. You can understand my job from Sister Zhang. 1 definitely made no mistake. You can’t fire me for such a small matter.”
She raised her head slightly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She tried her best to put on a pitiful posture, her eyes filled with pleading.
This posture was the easiest to arouse sympathy in people’s hearts. Xiao Hong could only gamble.
Gu Man looked at this face and inexplicably thought of Gu Rou. However, Xiao Hong’s acting skills were inferior to Gu Ron’s. Other than some brainless men, they would be moved by this face.
Seeing that Gu Man’s expression did not change, Xiao Hong panicked even more. She knew that this method would not work. She gritted her teeth and raised her voice. “Sister Zhang, you can’t give up on me just like that. You’ve seen my ability at work. It’s just a small mistake, and you want to fire me. Isn’t that too inhumane?!”
The cell phone did not hang up. Zhang Li had been listening to their conversation from the beginning to the end. It was just that she was running out of steam now and she still had to rely on Gu Man to get promoted and raise her salary. How could she have the spare energy to help others?
However, Xiao Hong’s words echoed in her ears over and over again, making her feel some sympathy. Zhang Li hesitated for a long time before she tried to speak. “Miss Gu, Xiao Hong’s family is indeed not good. She’s also hardworking.”
She did not dare to say anything else, afraid that she would make Gu Man hate her.
“Don’t you think this method is familiar? If 1 can fire someone and they say that their family is in trouble, then I might as well take everyone in.” Gu Man’s tone was mocking, making the other end of the cell phone fall silent.
“I’ll give you 20 minutes to settle this matter. If I don’t see you in 20 minutes, don’t blame me for being merciless.” With that, Gu Man didn’t give Zhang Li a chance to speak and hung up.
Gu Man’s gaze returned to Xiao Hong. “Stop pretending in front of me. Are you trying to morally kidnap me?”
She looked up at the male employees behind Xiao Hong with unbearable expressions and a mocking smile on her lips. “It did work, but unfortunately, I didn’t fall for it. Besides, how can selfish people like you give up such a good job?”
Xiao Hong’s face turned even paler. Her plan was made public. Not only was she embarrassed, but she was also unconvinced.
“Gu Man, didn’t you say that you would wait for me upstairs? Why are you still downstairs?” A clear voice sounded, making hope rise in Xiao Hong’s heart again.
She hurriedly stood up and looked at Jiang Zi. In an instant, her tears fell to the ground like a tap that she had forgotten to pay attention to. “Jiang Zi…”
She stammered. Although she did not know Gu Man’s identity, from her observations over the past few days, Jiang Zi’s identity was definitely not low.
Because no one dared to urge him to finish his work quickly, and his job was still at the highest level, he was usually as relaxed as he could be. Therefore, as long as she caught Jiang Zi, even Gu Man could not do anything to her. So what if she was an executive? It was impossible for her to have a higher position than Jiang Zi.
Xiao Hong subconsciously denied this fantasize of hers.
How was that possible? Even if Gu Man really obtained a high position, she would at most be higher than Zhang Li. How high could she be?
As she watched Jiang Zi walk towards her step by step, his handsome face got closer and closer to her. Xiao Hong’s heart beat faster and faster. She pretended to be calm and looked up, tears flowing down her face. “Jiang…”
But before Xiao Hong could finish speaking, Jiang Zi walked past her.
Jiang Zi’s voice sounded behind her. “Here, your breakfast. 1 don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought a bit of everything. Don’t thank me too much..”
