Saturday, evening, Long family villa.
"Long Fei, are you satisfied with the assistant I hired for you?”As soon as everyone sat down, Long Fei was picking up his chopsticks when Lu Wanwan asked with a smile.
"It's alright." Long Fei hated facing Lu Wanli the most, but his father still made him go home every Saturday night for the so-called reunion dinner. Whenever Lu Wanli spoke to him during the reunion dinner, nothing good would come out of it. Even if she didn't cause any trouble, Long Fei would still feel uncomfortable hearing her voice.
"Yeah, I saw that she was quite honest and had good qualifications, so I hired her. I heard that she worked quite hard before.”
Long Fei didn't reply to her and continued to eat. He didn't have much appetite for such food. He just wanted Long Tianyu to not get angry and eat mechanically. When he heard Lu Wanli's words, his stomach was on fire. His thick eyebrows were furrowed as he swallowed a mouthful. Seeing that Long Fei didn't reply, Long Tianyu glared at him and said,""Your mother talked to you, but you didn't reply. Don't you have any respect or EQ?”
"Didn't I say it's okay? He didn't talk when he ate and didn't talk when he slept. Could it be that he had a high emotional intelligence when he talked nonsense while eating?”Long Fei couldn't take it anymore. He swallowed the tasteless rice and slammed his chopsticks on the table.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice that. I just felt that we don't spend much time together, so I asked.”Lu Wanli apologized insincerely and looked at Long Tianyu pitifully.
"He's getting more and more unruly. You don't have to apologize to him.”Who said that one couldn't talk while eating? Many businesses were negotiated over the wine table. Is this how you treat your elders?" Long Tianyu reprimanded with full authority.
"Okay, okay, you're right. Continue talking.”Long Fei said angrily.
"Sigh, it's actually nothing much. It's just that Mu Zixi has been complained about by someone and they've all complained to me. I think she's a good person and I want to nurture her well in the future. Hasn't she been working under you? You should know better, so you asked.”
Long Fei knew nothing about this matter. He had always been very bad to Mu Zixi. He did not expect that Lu Wanli would come to find trouble with him when he felt that Mu Zixi was suitable to use and his attitude towards her improved slightly.
"You, what do you mean, you?" Long Fei was furious. Originally, he wanted to say," You're the one who hired her, yet you still have the face to question me. Could it be that I want her to leave her post without permission?" However, he realized the sarcasm in Lu Wanli's words and could not figure out her intentions, so he could only suppress it and not say anything else. He only asked.
"What kind of tone are you using to talk to your elders?”Long Tianyu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dad, I can't say it, and I can't say it either. What do you want me to do?”Long Fei said painfully.
"Can't you say it nicely?"
"I'm talking nicely. You gave birth to me, and this is how I sound. If you don't like me, don't make me say it.”
"You brat, since your assistant didn't do her job well, you should find out the reason and punish her. Why are you angry?”
"I will punish her. Since she is now my subordinate, I will take care of it.”Long Fei couldn't take it anymore and slammed the door with a bang.
"Tianyu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect to make Longfei unhappy. I just thought that he didn't know about this, so I wanted to talk to him and solve it together. Otherwise, someone in the company would say that he was biased and didn't manage his subordinates well. You didn't have a good meal."
"Forget it, don't bother about him. In the future, don't interfere in his matters. He won't understand your kindness.”Long Tianyu said unhappily.
"Yes, yes." Lu Wanli quickly replied.
Long Fei walked alone on the lonely street after the bustling scene. The phone rang. He saw that it was Luo Yijie calling, but he didn't want to pick it up. He just wanted to be alone. He walked aimlessly, letting the night wind ruffle his hair. When, when would he be able to get rid of Lu Wanli's face? Even if he only saw her once in ten years, he would still feel bored. Moreover, he saw her several times a week. He was annoyed. He turned a deaf ear to the phone and it rang again. Luo Yijie was very persistent. Seeing that Long Fei did not answer the phone, she called him again. Long Fei simply turned off his phone.
Long Fei put his phone in his pocket. He saw an old man in his seventies riding an old mountain bike on the street, happy but struggling. Inside the car were his wife and some leftover vegetables. He suddenly felt envious of the old couple. They were the real couple in the human world. Although their days were hard, they were definitely happy, unlike his parents.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Yijie was so angry that she was smashing things at home. This was the first time that Long Fei had turned off his phone instead of picking up her call. She felt that after she returned from her business trip, Long Fei had become more and more distant from her. She began to panic. Could it be that he had a new lover? The one closest to the water gets the moon first. The new lover was his assistant. She made a wild guess and finally decided to visit Long Fei tomorrow. The heavens were really on her side. She quickly thought of a reason to see him. It was normal for a girlfriend to see her boyfriend, but Long Fei was neither cold nor warm to her. She felt that it was better to have a reason.
The next day, Long Fei arrived at the company earlier than usual.
"Mu Zixi, did you leave your post on the day of the opening?”Long Fei was furious when he thought of Lu Wanli's sarcastic words. He questioned Mu Zixi when he saw her.
It wasn't time to go to work yet. Wang Hong, Liu Jingjing, and the others wanted to walk over to watch the show, but Long Fei's eyeballs were about to pop out. They could only return to their original positions and listen attentively.
"Yes, sorry." Mu Zixi knew that he was in the wrong and was afraid of losing his job, so he replied carefully.
"Why did you leave your post?"
"I had to leave because I had something urgent to attend to? So, I'm sorry!" Mu Zixi replied sincerely. She felt that Long Fei's expression did not improve because of her apology. Worried that he would mention expulsion, she quickly added,""I am willing to accept my punishment for what happened that day. Please give me another chance."
"So what? Get straight to the point. Why did you leave?”Long Fei said impatiently.
"There was a little girl who couldn't find her father. I was worried that she would get lost, so I went to help her look for her for a while.”
As soon as Mu Zixi said that, a woman smiled and said,"You're smart. You're quick to learn and put it to use. The commendation column is praising your employee for helping the child find his father, and you immediately used it. But what's the employee's name again? Yes, Liu Meiling, Liu Meiling, not you, Mu Zixi.”The one who spoke was Luo Yijie, whose face was full of sarcasm.
Wang Hong felt a little unfair for Mu Zixi. It wasn't worth it. She wanted to be a good person and tell the truth for her, but when she saw Luo Yijie speak, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Luo Yijie, the future Madame Long, was ruthless, unscrupulous, and vengeful. She could not afford to offend her, and there was no need to offend her for someone like Mu Zixi.
"Go to work first. I'll deduct one day's salary and this month's bonus. Also, write me a self-reflection letter of more than 200 words.”
"Alright." Mu Zixi replied dejectedly and helplessly. However, she was secretly glad that she was not fired.
"Longfei, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you.”Luo Yijie saw that Long Fei was strict with Mu Zixi in public, and Mu Zixi's expression was like a drowned rat, which suited her very well. She was too lazy to mock her anymore.
Long Fei and Luo Yijie walked out.
"Fei, why didn't you pick up my call last night? Not only did you not pick up, you even switched off your phone. I couldn't sleep well at all." Luo Yijie's expression changed from anger to concern as Long Fei's face turned cold. She was indeed very worried that he had another woman.
"What's there to worry about? There was an emergency yesterday.”
"Oh, I see. I knew it. You definitely wouldn't ignore my call, right?”Luo Yijie stared at Long Fei, wanting to get an affirmative answer from him.
"Why are you looking for me today?" Long Fei knew, but he was too lazy to find an excuse to avoid it, so he changed the topic.
Luo Yijie wanted to say that he hadn't answered her yet, so why did he change the topic? However, when she saw Long Fei's impatient expression, she swallowed her words in disappointment and replied to his question,""My brother is bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents tomorrow. I want to invite you to come too and help take a look.”Luo Yijie thought to herself," You're his future brother-in-law. Although you won't live together, it's hard to see each other often. Moreover, Gu Ruyi is a famous socialite in Xiangfu. It's necessary to get to know her in advance."
"Alright then!" Long Fei knew that Luo Yijie was looking for him for nothing. Although he didn't want to go, he thought that the company had something to ask Luo Yijie's father for help. If his father knew that he had rejected Luo Yijie, he would definitely embarrass him again. He couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Luo Yijie was originally dissatisfied with Long Fei. Seeing that Long Fei agreed readily, she wrote off her previous dissatisfaction and was only happy. She said that she would see him tomorrow and went home. She originally wanted to see if Mu Zixi had seduced Long Fei, but when she came today, she happened to bump into Long Fei giving Mu Zixi a scolding. Mu Zixi was punished with a dirty face, and she was extremely happy. Her original plan to talk to Liu Songguang face to face was also canceled. It was true that a woman's IQ would become lower when she was in love!
Mu Zixi handed the self-reflection letter to Long Fei. When she was writing, she really wanted to write down the reason, but she remembered what Luo Yijie had just said. After thinking about it again and again, she didn't mention a word. He just wanted to make sure that he would not make a similar mistake in the future.
The next day, when Mu Zixi passed by the company's notice board, she looked at it seriously. After reading it, she couldn't help but get angry. The thought of working for nothing under the scorching sun and not getting a single cent of her monthly bonus made her heart ache. If she used 500 yuan to buy medicine for her mother, she could buy a big bag of medicine, a big bag of discounted fruits, and even improve her life for a few days. However, what made her even angrier was that her self-reflection letter and Liu Meiling's commendation letter were posted side by side in the most eye-catching section of the notice board.
After reading it, she regained her rationality and calmness after a while. She had done all of this willingly. No matter what, it was a happy thing for her child to find her father safely. From the beginning to the end, she had never thought of asking for anything in return. As for the punishment, she had expected it the moment she left her post without permission. Although the consequences were more serious than she had thought, she was still blessed and not fired, so there was no need to be so calculative. Mu Zixi finally calmed down and thought that this matter was over, so he didn't think too much about it.
