Previously, they had thought that although Ye Xiaoxing was at fault, receiving a warning letter from the company was already a sufficiently severe punishment.
Even if she were to stay in the company, it was most likely that she would not have any opportunity for promotion in the future and neither would any colleague want to get close to her.
Therefore, there was no need to fire her.
Moreover, since her record would have that mark, it would be difficult for Ye Xiaoxing to find a job somewhere else too.
However, now that they knew that Ye Xiaoxing was also involved with the incident of Lu Manâs computer getting affected by a virus, which made Lu Man almost unable to submit her proposal and resign, the rest of them did not sympathize with Ye Xiaoxing that much anymore.
They could have given her a chance if she had made one or two mistakes.
However, she had set a trap to harm someone repeatedly.
Lu Man isnât a saint either, why should Lu Man have to forgive you after being harmed by you so many times?
Was Lu Man a masochist?
âBack then⊠back then when the IT staff returned the pen drive, I touched it too, so my fingerprints will definitely be there too!â Ye Xiaoxing straightened her neck and replied boldly.
Lu Man shook her head. âThatâs impossible. When the pen drive was returned, I immediately kept it away, so neither you nor Dai Yiran should have had a chance to touch it. Yet, both of your fingerprints were on it. The only reason must be that the two of you had touched it beforehand. Dai Yiran probably passed you the pen drive, right? To drag you down with her, she got you to insert the pen drive into my computerâs CPU. That way, you would be her accomplice and she wouldnât have to worry about being betrayed by you. Even if anything were to happen, you two would have to shoulder the blame together.â
Ye Xiaoxing did not expect that Lu Man could guess the exact situation back then so precisely even though she wasnât present there herself.
How exactly did her brain work!
As she was too shocked, Ye Xiaoxing could not refute in time.
Wu Lize walked out of his office and scolded, âStop making a ruckus, Ye Xiaoxing, quickly pack up your stuff and head to HR to settle your dismissal. If you continue this, Iâll get the security up, it wouldnât look good for you either.â
âThump!â Ye Xiaoxing surprisingly knelt down in front of Lu Man. âLu Man, Iâm begging you, help me plead my case to them! I can guarantee you that I will never provoke you ever again in the future. Iâm at fault, this is all my fault, please forgive me. Iâm pleading you, please forgive me, please donât let the company fire me. If you, the person involved, forgives me, the company will have to respect your opinion too, right!â
âIâm begging you, please, Lu Man, please help me! We are both colleagues after all, are you really willing to watch me get fired and never be able to find a job ever again? Yes, in the past, I always caused you a lot of trouble, but those were all petty stuff, I did not dare to blow things up too much. Dai Yiran had forced me to do insert that pen drive with the virus. If it was up to me, I would have never dared to do it no matter what. Lu Man, it took me a lot to get into Han Corporation. You do not know how much effort and hard work Iâve put in back then to join Han Corporation. You canât just stand there and watch my life get ruined! Please just do me a favor, I know you are a good person!â
Chen Shimian quickly pulled Brother Zhang over and dragged Ye Xiaoxing away.
Wasnât Ye Xiaoxing just making things difficult?
If Lu Man did not help, wouldnât it feel like it was Lu Manâs fault?
As if Lu Man was cold and heartless.
âYe Xiaoxing, stop making things difficult for Lu Man.â Chen Shimian helped Lu Man to speak some fair words. âThis is the companyâs decision, what could Lu Man do? The company must have their own reasons for making such a decision.â
âItâs easy for you to say that. This isnât happening to you, so you can just stand there and talk, talk is cheap for you!â Anger flared up in Ye Xiaoxingâs red-rimmed eyes.
âThatâs enough!â Brother Zhang was displeased. âThis was your own fault, forgiving you would be out of kindness. Yet, what kindness is there to speak of between you and Lu Man? Itâs reasonable for her to just do nothing. Back when you decided to harm her, why didnât you consider that you two were colleagues after all? Lu Man had never provoked you, yet you wanted to harm her. Now that you really have, whatâs wrong with Lu Man not forgiving you? I also have some words for you as a colleague. Save some sense of shame for yourself, just leave graciously, donât leave behind your last impression as a pathetic woman.â
