Chapter 10.1: Martyrdom
In the army, time meant life. If one was a minute late, a second late, you’d be severely punished. Bai Yu did not care for the other departments being on time, but in the security department, all the rules that she set had to be strictly enforced by the security guards; otherwise, it would be a violation of discipline and a provocation of her authority.
In the security department, no one dared to provoke the authority of Boss Bai!
Xiao Zheng was the first!
And she swore that he would be the last one!
Facing Bai Yu’s questions, Tang Ming’s body shrunk. He bowed his head and explained, “Boss Bai, you’ve misunderstood. I’m afraid Xiao Zheng won’t be able to find the exact location of the gym, so I waited for him at the door…”
“Since you’re so enthusiastic, why don’t you help him find another job?” Bai Yu crossed her arms behind her back and said with a fierce look in her eyes.
“I was wrong…” Tang Ming drooped his head and said dejectedly.
“Go to work.” Bai Yu coldly interrupted Tang Ming’s words.
“Yes, Boss Bai!” Tang Ming turned around and left, fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire. However, before leaving, he didn’t forget to give Xiao Zheng a meaningful glance.
The latter understood and nodded without leaving a trace.
Without waiting for Tang Ming to leave, Xiao Zheng immediately explained, “Boss Bai, there’s a reason I’m late. I was too excited to sleep last night because of the limitless prospect of this job. At seven o’clock in the morning, when I was ready to leave for work, a woman near my home asked me to go to Long Street and buy her a pint of soup dumplings. I was so preoccupied with my work that I declined her on the spot and went straight to the bus station. As a result, I bumped into a lame old lady in her seventies. The old lady’s eyes did not look too good. Not only did she cross the road, she even almost got hit by a car. I tried to help her out of good intentions, but before I could get close, she fell to the ground with an “Ouch!” and grabbed my leg, screaming for help. At that time, I was shocked. My gut instinct told me that I had to help her, so I immediately called the police. She’s no longer in danger. However, it also delayed me coming here on time. To get to the company earlier, I didn’t even have breakfast… ”
As Bai Yu listened to Xiao Zheng’s extravagant explanation, her beautiful but icy eyes lit up. She clapped her hands and said, “Being a security guard is truly too much for you.”
“In my opinion, no matter what position you are in, as long as you work hard, you will be able to shine with enthusiasm and make an outstanding contribution to New Arcana.” Xiao Zheng spoke in a righteous tone. He looked very much like the head of the marketing department.
“You misunderstand…” Bai Yu replied indifferently. “What I want to tell you is that the security department doesn’t welcome such behavior. You’d better think of something else. ”
“What!?” Xiao Zheng’s expression changed drastically as he took two steps forward and questioned. “Just because I helped a grandma across the street, you’re going to fire me? I refuse to accept this!”
“I don’t care what you do during your break, but as long as it affects your job, I have reason a fire you!” Bai Yu said with an expressionless face.
“You’re prejudiced against me!” Xiao Zheng said resentfully. In his heart, however, he was perturbed.
After returning to his hometown for a few months, his savings had already been used up. His long and idle life made him even more anxious. A strong sense of emptiness invaded his fragile heart all the time. Every time he woke up at night, he would feel a strong sense of frustration. He was extremely depressed.
In the long run, Xiao Zheng believed that sooner or later, he would suffer from terrible depression. Finding a proper job was too important for him.
Now that he finally got an ideal job, Xiao Zheng couldn’t just give up no matter what.
Chapter 10.2: Martyrdom
“That’s right. I am prejudiced against you!” Bai Yu tensed up and said without denying it. “Your work attitude is sloppy and undisciplined. Being late on the first day of work, trash like you who have no sense of responsibility and don’t abide by the rules, I don’t think you’re up to the job! ”
Her words were sharp, and her attitude domineering. It could be seen that Bai Yu was determined to fire Xiao Zheng.
In the face of Bai Yu’s vicious and indiscriminate attacks, Xiao Zheng’s expression of anxiety gradually disappeared.
Xiao Zheng lit up a cigarette and said, “Boss Bai, I remember that you’re only the head of security. Right? ”
To address Bai Yu directly by her pretty name, Xiao Zheng was clearly preparing to tear off all decorum.
“So what if I am? As head of security, I have the right to clean up the team.” Bai Yu said in a low voice.
“That’s right. If there is a serious security violation of the company’s rules. You do have the right to fire.” Xiao Zheng carelessly spat out a mouthful of thick smoke and said with a smile, “But I was only late once, and there’s a reason for it. Even if you are my boss, I’m afraid you don’t have that power, right? ”
Xiao Zheng was not afraid of the reverence others felt for this Boss Bai, who was famous for her infamy in New Arcana. As long as he could keep his job, even if he offended Bai Yu and she made things even more difficult for him, Xiao Zheng would accept it.
Bai Yu naturally knew the rules of the company. She was even more clear on the fact that she had fired Xiao Zheng just because he was late. Other than Lin Huayin, no one else had the authority to do so. Even if the company did not pursue the matter because of her position, she would inevitably fall into the trap.
That isn’t in her best taste.
Furthermore, Xiao Zheng had the backing of Lawyer Deng who was quite popular in New Arcana. It was even more challenging to dismiss Xiao Zheng.
Most importantly, Bai Yu could tell that Xiao Zheng was not someone she could push around. If she were to dismiss him forcefully, this trash would definitely think of ways to blow the matter.
After she settled the issue, Bai Yu’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of sternness. She sharply said, “You’re right. So far, I really don’t have enough reason to fire you.”
“I will definitely work hard and not disappoint Boss Bai!” Xiao Zheng raised his head and puffed out his chest, expressing his stance confidently. “I will gladly fulfill all of Boss Bai’s request! It is my job!”
“Shut up!” Bai Yu’s charming eyes turned cold as she spoke in a deep voice, “According to the rules of the New Arcana, I really can’t dismiss you, but according to the security department, you are not yet an official employee.”
“I’m already wearing my security uniform…” Xiao Zheng was puzzled.
“That’s simply giving Lawyer Deng face.” Bai Yu said indifferently. “If you to become a qualified security guard in the security department, you need to complete several tests. If you don’t meet the requirements, I can still get you to scram!”
Xiao Zheng asked in surprise, “What test?”
Wasn’t it just being a security guard? Take a walk, talk, keep the company in order. You actually want me to go through several tests? What is this? A game?
“Follow me.” Bai Yu’s eyes flashed with a strange light as she pushed open the door and entered the gym.
Xiao Zheng followed closely behind and as he was about to enter, his phone rang at an untimely moment.
It was a text from Tang Ming.
“If Boss Bai wants you to enter the gym for the exam… I suggest that you resign immediately!”
