Li KangYi waited for the news of his promotion after his made the call.
He felt quite confident about it. Madam Jiang had promised him a handsome reward over the phone. She was the bossâs mother. Should be easy peasy for her to reward him with a promotion of some sort.
As he felt that his promotion was just a matter of time, Li KangYi stopped caring about his current work. He tried of offload as much from his plate as possible; and those that he couldnât offload, heâd procrastinate them till the very last minute.
âLi KangYi, have you sent out the progress report on Chuâs Garden yet?â
âWhat progress report?â asked Li KangYi as he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs and looked at his colleague. His lifted his eyes slightly and created the illusion that he was above his colleague.
âThe one that we talked about in our meeting on Wednesday. Remember you were supposed to send them out to the project team? They said they havenât received it yet.â His female colleague frowned and was very unhappy with his attitude.
Li KangYi was at the meeting and he vaguely remembered something like that. He went online to look at houses afterward and had completely forgot about the email. Now he finally recalled it when he was reminded.
Granted, he wasnât going to say that he had forgotten about it. He didnât care for his job but he still needed to put up a front for it. âEh?â He said with a dubious look. âThatâs odd. I did send it.â
He opened up his mailbox as he spoke and pretended to be looking through it and mumbled, âDid it not get send out?â
After he was done with his cover story, he looked up at his female colleague and gave her an embarrassed smile. âYeah, it looks like it didnât get send out. Iâll just resend it.â
His female colleague just gave him a cold look without saying anything. They were partners and worked together as a team. Li KangYi had been dropping the balls a lot lately and that had increased her workload by a lot. She had spoken to him multiple times already but he always had some sort of excuses.
Of course Li KangYi realized that his partner was unhappy. But he was confident now and didnât care about his colleagues in the office. He didnât even bother with saying something nice.
The outcome of offending his colleague was being called into his superiorâs office.
Qi Shan wasnât a big fan of Li KangYi. To be precise, nobody was a big fan of Li KangYi in the office. His work performance was mediocre but loved to brown nose and would follow the boss around all day long. Everybody still remember how funny it was when the boss booted him out of the office when he was annoyed.
As much as he didnât have a good impression on this man, Qi Shan never really picked on Li KangYi either. He had always been a fair boss. He wanted to talk to him this time to find out what was going on with him lately.
Li KangYi didnât care about him, though. He put up an apologetic front but Qi Shan could tell that he didnât mean it one bit. He frowned and knew not what to do with someone like that. He finally sighed and waved him away.
Li KangYi returned to his own desk quickly with a smile on him. He thought Qi Shanâs reacted the way that he did because of instructions that he was received from higher up. He was daydreaming when he received the notice that he had been fired.
âIâm fired? Why??!!â Li KangYi busted into Qi Shanâs office, demanding for an answer.
âItâs what the boss wanted. You are welcome to talk to the boss if you like.â Qi Shan didnât even bother looking up. âSomeone new will be here shortly. Do transition with him.â
âThere is no way the boss will fire me!!â Li KangYi didnât believe it one bit. He was the one who located the bossâs son for him!
âYou donât need to believe meâ Qi Shan didnât know what to say either. Li KangYi really wasnât at the point that he needed to be fire yet but, that being the bossâs idea, who was he to argue with him?
