Chapter 155: Unintended Consequences

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Wenjin sneered. This was Shen Wan, the “sister” whom Shen Ru had guarded against, but in his eyes, she was nothing more than a headstrong fool. Even though she had become the president, she lacked the ability to manage a company. It was like a monkey putting on clothes but still unable to become a human.

It was the first time he had heard of someone being fired just for being late without causing significant damage to the company!

At this rate, there was no need for Shen Ru to take action; Third Lady Shen would dig her own grave.

Li Wenjin said, “Alright, I understand.” He was about to hang up.

“Wait—” Liu Yi raised her voice, stopping him.

“What else?”

“Secretary Li, I’ve been fired!” She emphasized each word.

“So?”

“You promised to let me work at the group headquarters before…”

Li Wenjin laughed with a hint of sarcasm, “Yes, I did promise, but the problem now is that you haven’t completed your mission. Besides, for employees terminated by Mingda, do you think the group will hire them again? It’s not a garbage disposal facility…”

Liu Yi’s remaining hope was mercilessly shattered. She begged with a trembling voice, “I have no way out, you can’t just abandon me!”

On the other end, there was a slight mocking sound, as if ridiculing her innocence and ignorance. “What does it have to do with me when you got fired because you were late? Since there’s no connection, why should I care about you?”

Liu Yi’s grip on her phone continued to tighten, her fingertips turning slightly purple, but she seemed oblivious to the pain as if she could only gather enough courage by holding on tightly.

“Secretary Li, what do you mean by this?”

“In simple terms, Mingda Group doesn’t need employees without value.”

Liu Yi’s value existed in monitoring Shen Wan. Once she left Mingya, she would lose the opportunity to contact her target, and her value would cease to exist.

“Are you trying to burn your bridges?!”

“So what if I am?”

“Fine.” The woman sneered. “Then I’ll tell Shen Wan everything you asked me to do, or even more people.”

“You dare!”

“After all, in the high-stakes internal battles of a prestigious family like ours, where older sisters guard against younger ones, it’s the most attention-grabbing. Anyway, I’ve already come to this point. It can’t get any worse. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Even if I die, I’ll take a chunk out of you all!”

In moments when there’s no way out, people often unleash astonishing potential, just like Liu Yi was doing now.

Without a job, Li Wenjin became the only lifeline she could grasp, even if it meant being cut and bleeding. She wouldn’t let go.

“Secretary Li, you better think carefully, or it’ll be a disaster for everyone!”

After a long silence, Li Wenjin finally spoke, his tone less icy and with a hint of seductive huskiness, “…What do you want?”

“I want a job at Mingda.”

“I’ve told you, that’s not possible!” The veins on the man’s forehead throbbed. He wasn’t part of the HR department and didn’t have the authority to arbitrarily change employees’ positions between headquarters and subsidiaries.

“Then help me find a job…”

Five minutes later, they reached an agreement and ended the call.

Liu Yi put away her phone, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn’t help but cry and laugh. Fortunately, there was always a way out in desperate times.

She washed her face, turned around, and as the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor grew fainter, suddenly, a door in a nearby compartment opened from the inside. A middle-aged woman in a black suit emerged, accompanied by the sound of a flushing toilet.

Choi Yun stood in front of the washbasin, washed her hands, dried them, and then adjusted her collar and hairstyle in the mirror. Immediately afterward, a cold snort escaped her nostrils.

She thought she might understand why Shen Wan had spared Liu Yi.

There’s a saying—pull out the radish and bring out the mud!
