The situation was already urgent, and I didn't have time to discuss my backdoor entry with Sister Lu. I solemnly asked again, "Sister Lu, I really don't know. If you think I came in through special relations, I accept that. So, can you give me the phone number?"
At that moment, I didn't want to look for Miao Miao. There were absurdities all around me, and if I could postpone one thing, I would. The priority was to find Lu Ming.
I just wanted to resolve this matter quickly. My tone was a bit harsh, but Sister Lu didn't get angry; instead, she laughed cheerfully as if she had heard a great joke: "Hey, Xiao Jun, you've misunderstood me. After all, Lu Zong is not our superior. The contact information for Lu Zong is everywhere in this office. Although you've only been here a few days, I think you've seen it too, right?"
Sister Lu's words made my face flush. She wasn't wrong; I worked at Lu Ming's company, and the employees' contact information was recorded, which should also include Lu Ming's. I usually didn't pay much attention to it, and now I couldn't believe Sister Lu would use this to corner me.
I was left speechless.
After watching the show long enough, Sister Lu remained expressionless as she pulled out a business card for Lu Ming from her desk drawer and handed it to me. She gave me a deep look before turning away; after all, the show had gone on long enough.
I stopped guessing Dong Lu's thoughts and called the number on the business card for Lu Ming. It wasn't long before he answered. As soon as he said "Hello," I couldn't wait any longer.
"Lu Zong, this is Zhuang Jun. I want to talk to you about the issue of front desk employee Zhang Xiao Ai's dismissal."
"Miss Zhuang has strong opinions about my decision to dismiss an employee?"
"Yes." I didn't deny it: "The root cause of yesterday's incident lies with me; it was my mistake that caused losses for the company and affected its image. It has nothing to do with Zhang Xiao Ai."
"Come over."
"What?"
“Fuchun Tea House, come over to talk.”
Before I could say anything else, Lu Ming had already hung up the phone. Especially at such a critical moment, I was already feeling anxious and stressed, and his attitude only fueled my anger. Can Boss just decide others' fates without caring about their lives? I was determined to rush to the tea house to fire him.
I hurried to the entrance of the tea house, reported the name of the private room to the waiter, and was led to the door. After thanking them, I entered only to find that Lu Ming was not alone.
“Zhuang Jun?”
“Miao Miao?”
We almost spoke in unison.
Unlike me, Mu Miaomiao showed surprise upon seeing me, while I was left in shock. She came over with a smile, took my hand, and said, “What brings you here? How are you adjusting to the new company?”
It seemed Miao Miao was unaware of what had happened in the past few days regarding what Wang Xu had said about her and yesterday's drama at Wang Xu's company.
I opened my mouth but couldn't find the words.
Mu Miaomiao didn't seem to think much of it either as she pulled me toward Lu Ming, joking along the way: “Lu Ge, you were planning to surprise me! You brought me such a big gift right after I returned. Just because we Zhuang Jun aren't working today doesn't mean you can deduct our pay!”
After giving me a meaningful glance, Lu Ming replied to Miao Miao: “Yeah, no deductions.”
Then Miao Miao shifted her attention back to me: “Zhuang Jun, did you come here today to welcome me back? It’s my fault for not telling you during my trip; I left in such a hurry. It’s all Wang Nan’s fault for being so unpredictable. But I brought you a gift.”
"You..." I interrupted Miao Miao in shock. "Did you go on a trip these past few days?"
Miao Miao blinked and nodded. "Yeah, I went to Sanya. What's wrong, Zhuang Jun? Did something happen?"
