Endless Fall

Chapter 68: Firing Three Employees

“I definitely won’t.” Wang Rui knew that if this matter was exposed, she would be in deep trouble, so she naturally wouldn’t take the risk.

Sun Feiyu was the same.

She raised her chin and gestured for them to split up. “Watch your expressions lest you expose yourself.”

“Okay.” Feng Yunjie opened the other exit door and left.

Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Sun Haoran, who was hiding downstairs, looked up.

Seeing that they had no intention of returning, he quickly called Qu Shao and sent him the audio recording.

Qu Shao, who couldn’t find any evidence from the camera footage, retracted his gaze from the cameras and quickly went to the planning department.

He sat opposite Wu Xiuwen and played the recording. He said solemnly, “How do you plan to deal with this?”

“They have to be fired!” Wu Xiuqiang suppressed his anger and tried his best not to slam the table.

“All of them?”

“Except Wang Rui.”

Qu Shao was puzzled. “Why?”

“Her behavior is not as bad as the other two. According to the rules, we just have to warn her and deduct her salary.”

“I don’t think so.” He lit a cigarette. “The boss won’t be satisfied if you let her off just like that.”

Hearing him mention Pei Zhi, Wu Xiuwen could not help but be surprised. “Did Lin Jiao complain about it to President Pei?”

“Yes.” Qu Shao took this opportunity to remind him, “Who do you think the lady boss will find when she’s hard done by if not the boss? You?”

Wu Xiuwen, who was drinking tea, was so shocked that he spat out his tea. “Are you serious?”

“I won’t joke about this.”

“…But President Pei isn’t married, right?”

“Soon.” Qu Shao was very confident in Pei Zhi. “Probably next year if everything goes smoothly.”

Wu Xiuwen took a deep breath.

He wiped away the water in front of him and slowly calmed down. “Who else in the company knows?”

“Only you at the moment.”

Qu Shao exhaled a mouthful of smoke and reminded, “Don’t tell anyone. The lady boss wants to keep a low profile.”

“Alright.” Wu Xiuwen understood what he meant.

He sent a WeChat message to Zhao Lan from the human resources department and said to Qu Shao, “I’ll tell you when I’m done dealing with this matter here.”

Qu Shao nodded. “Alright, I’ll get going first then.”

After receiving the recording from Qu Shao, Wu Xiuwen stood at the door and called the three of them in.

He had no intention of wasting time. After playing the recording, he asked the three of them to go to the human resources department to resign.

“This recording is fake!” Feng Yunjie’s face was pale as she hastened to defend herself.

She pretended to be the victim and said tearfully, “We never said those words.”

Wu Xiuwen did not buy it.

With a dark expression, he looked her in the eye. “Is it that difficult to admit what you’ve done?”

“We didn’t do it, so why should we admit it?” Wang Rui, who did not want to be fired, became hysterical.

She raised her voice and shouted at him, “Lin Jiao faked the recording and even wrongly accused us. She’s the one you should fire!”

“Have you done talking?”

“Are we not allowed to defend ourselves? Why do you have to help Lin Jiao? What did she give you?”

“Bang—”

Wu Xiuwen kicked the chair back.

The hand that was pointing at them was trembling as he said, “Since you don’t want to admit it, I’ll have to call the police over!”

The three of them were stunned.

When they saw him open the door and ask Zheng Yi to call the police, they knew that he really meant it.

Sun Feiyu, who had been silent all this while, looked at his back and no longer held any hope.

She walked up to him first and said, “Manager Wu, I’ll go to the human resources department now.”

Wu Xiuwen did not respond.

He turned to look at the other two who were still standing there. He was so disappointed that he did not want to waste his breath. “Zheng, you handle it.”

“Alright.” Zheng Yi unlocked his phone. Before he could make a call, he heard a female voice.

“No need.” Feng Yunjie sneered. “We don’t want to stay in this lousy company anyway!”

Under everyone’s gaze, she returned to her desk.

Perhaps she had nowhere to vent her anger. When she was packing up her stuff, she deliberately made noises.

“Can you keep quiet?” Sun Haoran, who was busy with his job, glared at her.

“Mind your own business.”

“No one wants to mind your business except the police.”

Feng Yunjie was completely enraged.

She picked up the glass of water beside her and poured it on his computer. “I think you’re still…”

“F*ck you!”

Sun Haoran pushed her away.

He looked at the computer that went kaput and was about to raise his fist to punch her out of anger.

“Don’t.” Zheng Yi quickly stopped him. “It’s not worth it if you get arrested for punching this kind of person.”

“That’s right. Don’t dirty your hands.” The colleague sitting beside him advised.

They looked at Feng Yunjie disdainfully. “A person like her who steals proposals and ruins others’ achievements is a piece of sh*t no matter where she goes.”

“Hurry up and leave. Don’t embarrass yourself!”

“Our lousy company can’t accommodate a big shot like you. You’d better find another job.”

This was the first time Feng Yunjie had so many fingers pointing at him. Her mind was buzzing and she couldn’t think straight.

She picked up the bag on the table and ran away from this place where she was hated by everyone.

“Yunjie.” Wang Rui followed her.

She reached out a hand to stop the elevator door from closing and asked with red eyes, “What should we do?”

“You caused me to be in this state, and you still have the cheek to ask me?”

“I didn’t cause this alone. I was fired too. You…”

Feng Yunjie did not want to see her again. “Get lost!” She slapped the back of her hand and pressed the close button twice.

Wang Rui burst into tears.

She leaned against the wall and cried for a long time. Just as her thoughts were getting more and more chaotic, a ding attracted her attention.

“Lin Jiao…” After a short silence, she went forward and grabbed her. “Lin Jiao, help me.”
