After Being Fired by the Boss's Young Girlfriend, the Company Went Bankrupt

1

After the boss went on a business trip, his young girlfriend tried to establish her authority in the company by making an example of me, the sales champion.

But she didn't know that the boss treats me like a revered ancestor on a daily basis.

Because all the company's salespeople are my trainees, and nearly all the clients were brought in by me.

Without me, the whole company would starve.

That day, I left the company, but just a few days later, she was on her knees, crying and apologizing.

"Please come back, my husband said that if you don't come back, he would leave me!"

In order to secure a multimillion-dollar super contract.

I stuck it out and drank with the client until three in the morning, causing my stomach ulcer to flare up.

But when I forced myself to go to the office the next day, I was told that I'd lost my entire bonus for the month due to being late.

"Chen Yue, you were late by a whole minute, who gave you the guts to disregard company rules?"

The boss's young girlfriend Xu Lili stood with her hands on her hips, looking at me disdainfully, with a hint of glee as if she finally found a reason to blame me.

Being fined for being late?

When did this rule come into play?

Why didn't I know about it?

I was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

As the busiest sales department in the entire company, we always need to attend to clients outside, and our office hours are never fixed.

Thus, the sales department is also the only department in the whole company that doesn't need to clock in.

Seeing my confusion, Xu Lili directly slapped a piece of paper onto my face.

This was the attendance policy she had just created, and its content was truly an eye-opener for me.

A one-minute delay results in a one hundred yuan fine, a ten-minute delay is considered absenteeism, and a one-hour delay results in the deduction of the entire monthly bonus.

Looking at these extremely targeted regulations, I suppressed my anger and kindly reminded her that this attendance policy does not apply to the sales department.

But Xu Lili snorted coldly with full disdain: "You're just a bunch of lousy salespeople, what's with the special treatment!"

She's a recent graduate who, with her coquettish ways and sweet talk, won the boss's favor.

Ever since she became the boss's girlfriend, she has been arrogant and bossy in the company.

She would insult anyone she didn't like without a second thought.

Once, there was a female colleague whose performance was twice as good as hers, so she spread a nasty rumor that the woman was using her body to please clients.

She forced the woman into quitting.

Who would have thought she'd target me now.

I laughed out of anger, an undefined rage surged within me, and my stomach felt like it was being churned by a power drill.

Back when the boss couldn't even afford a meal, if I hadn't found ways to run business and secure orders, the company would have collapsed long ago.

Since then, the boss treated me like a god of wealth.

But just one phrase from her — "lousy salespeople" — negated all my contributions!

Beside me, Little Li from HR cautiously reminded:

"President Xu, the boss indeed allows salespeople to be late, especially since Manager Chen has always been the sales champion..."

But before Little Li could finish, she interrupted him.

"My husband left the company to me while he's on a business trip; I'm the lady boss. Is the company paying you to act like kings? If everyone shows up late, how can this company be managed?"

"Besides, so what if she's the sales champion? Without this company's platform, she's absolutely nothing."

Xu Lili carried herself like the number one in command, announcing on the spot that all sales staff would be considered absent if they didn't clock in.

She then arrogantly said to me:

"As a leader, you're setting a bad example by being late. This corrupt trend starts with you, and today I'll use you as an example to cut an entire month's bonus!"

"Chen Yue, from today, you will clean the toilets! If you don't want to do it, then pack your things and leave!"

In the next moment, everyone was shocked — letting the sales champion clean the toilets?

Seeing everyone seemingly defying her, Xu Lili laughed coldly, taking out her phone to actively call the boss.

Once connected, she immediately changed into a cutesy voice:

"Hello? Darling, there's an employee not listening to me and often goes absent; can I fire her?"

On the other end, the boss was helpless.

"Fine, fire whoever you want, but definitely don't upset Manager Chen."

Unfortunately, the overbearing Xu Lili only heard the first half of the sentence before hanging up, not catching a single word of what followed.

After hanging up the call, she looked at me with even more pride:

"My husband said, I can fire whoever I want. I advise you, either clean the toilets or get out of here!"

That day, I ignored her and took a sick leave to go home.

But in Xu Lili's eyes, this became my compromise.

What she didn't know is that as the top sales manager in the entire industry, I never lack potential employers.

Big companies have always been privately trying to poach me, even willing to give me stock dividends, but I've always politely declined.

Only because the boss has always treated me well over the years and never shorted me on benefits.

Because of this long-standing loyalty, I was willing to stay with the company.

Taking leave today, I believed that as long as the boss returns in three days, he could suppress her arrogance.

But when it comes to disgusting me, Xu Lili never disappoints.

As soon as I got home in the afternoon, I received a call from a client.

"Yue Yue, what's going on? Why has the contact person for your company changed?"

Changed?

Before I could react, messages from other clients came flooding in.

Everyone was asking me about the changes in contact personnel.

Moreover, they all said that if I resigned, they would cancel their cooperation with the company.

Only at this moment did I realize that Xu Lili was taking advantage of my absence to poach my clients one by one.

When I found out about this ridiculous news, I wasn't angry; instead, I felt like laughing a bit.

She only knows that I have a lot of premium client resources in my hands.

But what she doesn't know is the kind of relationships I have with these clients.

Does she really think that someone else can just take over what I've been doing?

The next morning, I arrived at the company ready to steady the morale of the team.

But as soon as I entered the company, I saw a bunch of strangers sitting at the sales department's workstations.

Seven or eight young girls I'd never seen before were chit-chatting at the desks.

And there was an older woman with her legs crossed, sitting in my chair, munching on sunflower seeds and littering the floor with shells.

It was only when I saw a message on my phone that I realized Xu Lili had spent just one night to fire all the sales department employees!

Not only that, she recruited her entire clique of girlfriends and relatives to fill the positions.

This mass layoff drama had the whole company buzzing!

Everyone knew the backbone of the sales department were industry elites groomed by me personally!

Leaving the company, they'd be snatched up by dozens of companies in no time.

But only Xu Lili was oblivious to this.

I shook my head helplessly, telling her she'd regret firing these people.

Yet Xu Lili laughed so hard she was practically bending over, mocking me:

"Chen Yue, you're just a lousy worker, what right do you have to talk to me like this?"

Xu Lili snorted coldly, her eyes full of ridicule, pointing at the calculative old woman and said to me:

"You're really full of yourself, aren't you? It's just selling to clients, my second aunt has been selling veggies in the market for over twenty years, she's way more professional at selling than you!"

Xu Lili might have watched too many workplace dramas, thinking she's a business genius.

She claimed she'd double the company's profit while the boss was away on a business trip, and to boost profit, she devised a cost-cutting plan.

And the sales department, which claimed eighty percent of the company bonuses, was her biggest obstacle.

Eliminate our department, and she could save up millions in bonuses.

That day, as she wished, I prepared to resign along with the department staff.

As I packed my things, the HR manager looked at me in shock.

"Sister Chen, are you really leaving?"

I deftly started packing, smiling: "I've been fired, so why wouldn't I?"

She widened her eyes, looking at me in disbelief: "Firing you, Xu Lili must be insane, right? Everyone knows you're the boss's favorite, isn't she afraid of breaking up with the boss?"

I shook my head and chuckled lightly: "Well, that's beyond me. After all, it's her decision, she has to bear the consequences herself."

HR was very angry: "You're the backbone of our company, if you leave, our company is doomed!"

Indeed.

Even HR understood this clearly, but Xu Lili just didn't get it.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

It's a good chance to take a break, and take care of my health.

However, when I went to finance to collect my salary, Xu Lili followed me.

Upon seeing my salary of 188,000, her face turned green!

"How can it be this much!"
