Chapter 621 - Shirking Responsibility!

After Wu Guihua failed her interview at a company in City Z, she rushed to apply for her interview at Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket.

Her phone rang.

“Hello, I’m… What?” Sitting on the bus, Wu Guihua suddenly raised her voice and asked, “Why are you telling me not to come to the interview? It’s because… I’m stuck in traffic, yes!”

Wu Guihua got off the bus. Her fingers holding the phone were slightly pale, and there was faint anger on her face.

Then, she took a deep breath and said, “Forget it, it’s just a company in the countryside. What’s so great about it? I’m a university graduate. I refuse to believe I can’t get into a good company.”

When Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket became Green Fresh Corporation, she would really regret this opportunity she had missed.

When Chen Minghai was accepted by the company in City Z, he was so excited that he almost jumped up. ‘So what if I graduated from a third-rate university? Gold will shine wherever he goes. I’ve defeated several candidates from first-rate universities. The future is mine!’

However, while Cheng Minghai had the ability, he lacked interpersonal skills. It caused his career development to stumble.

When he finally became a supervisor in a medium-sized company, his friend had reached the peak of his career. When he saw his former friend on the news, tears of regret flowed down his face.

If he didn’t make that choice back then… would the person on the news be him?

…

Xiao Lingyu’s current company did not lack people.

After the interview, she accepted all five applicants. However, like everyone else, they had a three-month probation period.

Whether or not they could stay after three months would depend on their ability and performance.

Xiao Lingyu emphasized, “My company values character. I do not require you to work overtime, but I need you to finish your job within the allocated time. What I will review in the end is the result!”

“Yes, CEO Xiao!”

…

“CEO Xiao, I’m sorry. I was too careless!” As soon as she returned to the office, An Xiaohui immediately apologized for her mistake.

Xiao Lingyu knocked on the table and asked, “Who received the applicants this time?”

An Xiaohui said, “It’s Xiao Bai!”

“Xiao Bai?” Xiao Lingyu narrowed her eyes and said, “Bai Shanshan?”

An Xiaohui nodded and said, “CEO Xiao, Shanshan just joined our company. This is my fault for not teaching her well…”

Xiao Lingyu waved her hand.

An Xiaohui,”…”

Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said seriously, “An Xiaohui, do you still remember what I told you when you just joined us?”

An Xiaohui’s expression changed, and then she said, “Yes. CEO Xiao said that I’m too kind and soft-hearted.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “That’s right! What happened today is not your personal responsibility or Bai Shanshan’s.”

An Xiaohui nodded and said, “Yes, it’s both of our responsibility.”

“Either way, you’ve made a huge mistake today!” Xiao Lingyu said seriously, “You should be thankful that those five are job applicants. What if they’re bad people? Are we going to let random people into our company just like that?”

An Xiaohui lowered her head, and her face was a little red. She looked a little ashamed. An Xiaohui raised her head and said seriously, “CEO Xiao, please give me another chance.”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Okay, I’ll give you another chance. If this happens again, I’ll have to consider whether you’re suitable for the human resources department.”

In fact, in Xiao Lingyu’s opinion, An Xiaohui was more suitable for the customer service department!

However, she didn’t want to waste the professional knowledge and talent that An Xiaohui had learned in university, so she placed An Xiaohui in the human resources department.

Xiao Lingyu continued, “Whether it’s your fault or Bai Shanshan’s fault, it’s all because of your poor supervision.

“So, although I’ll give you another chance this time, I’ll give you a certain punishment. I’ll deduct your bonus for three months. Do you have any objections?”

An Xiaohui shook her head vigorously and said, “No, of course not!”

“Go and get Bai Shanhan,” Xiao Lingyu said.

An Xiaohui left and returned with a girl about her age. Her face was round, and her eyes were big. She looked very cute, especially when she was wearing a pink dress. This person was Bai Shanshan.

As soon as Bai Shanshan entered the general manager’s office, she called out obediently, “CEO Xiao!”

Then, she slightly lowered her head, her two fingers twirling about as if she was uneasy. She had heard about the interview error, and she was afraid of being blamed.

Xiao Lingyu directly asked, “Bai Shanshan, do you know why I called you here?”

Bai Shanshan carefully probed, “CEO Xiao, is it about the interview?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes. I just wanted to ask you, do you have anything to explain about this matter? Director An said that she gave you the resumes to confirm with the applicants before bringing them to the meeting room.”

Bai Shanshan’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief.

She said, “CEO Xiao, that’s not true! Director An gave me the resumes, but she told me to bring those five to the meeting room directly!”

An Xiaohui, “…” So this is all my fault. This girl… No wonder Xiao Lingyu keeps on saying that I’m too soft-hearted and too kind-hearted!

Earlier, she was already ready to take on all the blame, but Bai Shanshan had decided to throw An Xiaohui under the bus the moment she opened her mouth.

Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile that was not a smile, “So, Director An told you to bring those applicants to the office, and you did that without checking their identities first?”

Bai Shanshan was a little frightened by this question. She looked at her finger and said uneasily, “I… I thought Director An had already checked the resumes, so I didn’t repeat it.” In fact, Bai Shanshan only took a glance at the applicants and resumes. She didn’t take it seriously. That was why she made such a mistake.

But obviously, she couldn’t tell Xiao Lingyu that.

Xiao Lingyu asked, “So, that means you don’t need to do your job?”

Bai Shanshan lowered her head, her face red, and did not say anything.

An Xiaohui, on the other hand, exploded.

“Bai Shanshan, when I gave you the resumes of these people, I told you repeatedly to confirm them with the applicants.” An Xiaohui decided to spill the beans.

Bai Shanshan opened her mouth as if she wanted to defend herself.

An Xiaohui said directly, “Whether it’s the office or the entrance of the company, there are cameras. We can check the footage and see what exactly happened. What do you think?”

When Bai Shanshan heard that, she immediately raised her head and looked at An Xiaohui in disbelief. She was confused. An Xiaohuai had always been easy to bully, and she would never complain to the CEO. It was why Bai Shanshan decided to push the blame onto her.

But now…

Bai Shanshan was really a little flustered.

Bai Shanshan could not help but call out, “Sister An, you…”

An Xiaohui looked at the flustered Bai Shanshan and sneered, “Are you shocked that I didn’t take the fall for you this time?”

Bai Shanshan’s expression stiffened.

“Actually, that was indeed what I did. I shouldered all the blame for you.” An Xiaohui looked at Xiao Lingyu and continued, “But CEO Xiao is wise. She doesn’t blame everything on me.

“But you’re a rookie who has made a big mistake. Instead of admitting it, you want to push the blame onto your boss.

“Do you think I’m that easily bullied? Why would you think I’d bear all the blame for you?”

Bai Shanshan’s face turned pale as she shook her head. Her eyes were red as she looked at An Xiaohui as if she had suffered a great deal of bullying and grievance.

An Xiaohui, “…” Damn, what a white lotus! I’m indeed too kind and soft-hearted before.

If Xiao Lingyu didn’t have a clear eye, she would think that An Xiaohui was bullying Bai Shanshan.

An Xiaohui’s heart was filled with anger as she said angrily, “Bai Shanshan, why are you making such an expression? There are no men here. Otherwise, people will think that I’m bullying you again.”

Tears welled up in Bai Shanshan’s eyes. She shook her head and looked at Xiao Lingyu, feeling wronged. “CEO Xiao, I… I didn’t…”

An Xiaohui, “…”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

This is an ultimate white lotus!

Bai Shanshan was fired!

This was Xiao Lingyu’s decision!

If Bai Shanshan had made a mistake because of her incompetence, as long as she admitted her mistake, she would not have been fired.

However, while Bai Shanshan was young, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Most of her tricks were evil. She liked to use others to climb to the top.

She was jealous that An Xiaohui, who was the same age as she, was her boss. They came from the same prestigious university and studied the same course. However, Bai Shanshan couldn’t compete with An Xiaohui fairly. She was not qualified to be the director of the Human Resources Department. So she had to rely on small tricks.

Normally, Xiao Lingyu would turn a blind eye to these petty disputes. However, this time, it revealed Bai Shanshan’s real character.

However, Xiao Lingyu never expected that Bai Shanshan, who was fired, would be so indignant that she would post some comments online, causing a huge uproar on the Internet!

…

“Brothers and sisters, did you have fun?” Xiao Letong stood on a tree stump and looked down at the tourists. He asked loudly, “Did you enjoy yourself?”

Xiao Letong was small. He didn’t like others to talk to his head. Therefore, he would usually stand in high places and talk to others.

The tourists smiled and said, “It’s fun. We’ll stay for one more day. Little Friend, will you still be our guide tomorrow?” The tour was more fun with the child around.

Xiao Letong crossed his arm across his chest and rested his chin on the other. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the sky. “It depends. If my mom clears me from writing calligraphy tomorrow, then I’ll come and be your guide.”

The tourists immediately asked excitedly, “Little baby, you’re so young, and you’re training for calligraphy already?!”

Xiao Letong’s face was solemn as he said pitifully, “My mother said that although I’m a peerless genius, I have a fickle personality. I have to write 100 calligraphy characters every day to calm my heart before she’ll let me out to play.”

The tourists, “…” Compared to this child who could memorize an entire dictionary and write calligraphy, they felt shame.

However, this child’s mother was also quite crazy. She didn’t need to force her child to practice calligraphy simply because her child was a genius.

“Little baby, how pitiful!” a tourist said.

Xiao Letong nodded and said very seriously, “Yes, yes, I’m very pitiful.”

Everyone, “…”
