Chapter 222 Fighting Back
The knocking is loud. It sounds that the comer comes with no good intentions.
Xia Ning winks at Li Baoer, “This one is tough. Don’t be impulsive.”
Li Baoer is confused, “Who on earth is that? She is rude.”
Xia Ning glances at the monitor, “Come in, please.”
The door is open. Li Shi rushes in, followed by Gu Ruoruo, “Director, Supervisor Li...”
“I see. You may go to work.”
Gu Ruoruo nods. She turns to walk out.
Li Shi looks angry. She sees there is someone else there. She holds her arms around her chest, “Director, I want to talk with you in private.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Baoer is sent by Chief Editor Leng. She is not an outsider. You may speak directly as you want.”
Li Shi glances at Li Baoer, “Oh, it is from Chief Editor Leng. That’s not surprising.”
Xia Ning turns serious, “Supervisor Li, I hope you go to the point. Don’t talk about other things.”
“That’s what you want. Don’t blame me for making you embarrassed before other people.” Saying this, Li Shi drops an envelope in front of Xia Ning, “Director Xia, please explain what does this mean?”
Xia Ning takes up the envelope. She glances at the documents inside, “It is correct. This envelope is for you. It is written clearly. I think Supervisor Li is very talented. So, I recommend Supervisor Li to go to work in W City. Any problems?”
“Director, as you say so, we may speak directly, don’t beat around the bush. The letter says recommendation, while actually, you want to transfer me away. Don’t you?”
Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips, “You may call it a transfer or a recommendation. For Supervisor Li, isn’t this good news...”
“Shit!” Li Shi scolds directly, “Director, I offended you in the meeting just now. I apologize! Director, you are taking revenge at work for personal problems. I am not resigned to that.”
“Not resigned?” Xia Ning puts down the envelope, “Supervisor Li, you are a good speaker. That is really good. Anyway, don’t worry, you have several companions. You are not alone.”
Li Shi’s eyes gleam fiercely. She says, “Xia Ning, you are eliminating dissent! You want to kick out those who disobey you! Don’t you? Let me tell you, there are labor laws. What you are doing is irrational.”
Xia Ning knows Li Shi will mention the laws. She responds, “That is all right. You can go to the relative governmental department about this issue. Anyway, you have a good relation with some departments. However, you have to understand, I am recommending talents. I don’t fire or transfer anyone. What’s the reason for your appeal? Because you are not resigned to that?”
Li Shi widens her eyes, “You! Good. Very good! Xia Ning, I underestimated you. You are also vicious! I lose this one. I am resigned to that!”
She thought that after Xia Ning quitted, she will become the Director of the Entertainment Department. So, she has done quite a lot of things secretly for a year. Xia Ning gave no reactions all the time. She doesn’t expect that Xia Ning comes back this time to take such a tough move. She has imagined many possibilities, but she has never thought that Xia Ning can be such a deep person.”
Xia Ning puts on a bigger smile, “Supervisor Li, you work in my department. You work for me. We are not fighting with each other. What do you mean? Do you always regard me as your enemy?”
Li Shi takes a deep breath. She slowly says, “Xia Ning, I want to mention one thing. You kick me away in this way. What will the other people in the department think? Who dares speak out their opinions in the future?”
“That’s about the future. What I do now is to better run my department. As to what you said in the meeting, I am not judging whether you are wrong. However, your attitude towards Supervisor Wu showed totally no respect to her. In addition, when I was away, Director Gu distributed the tasks to you. You always tried to refuse and made a drag on the whole department. You didn’t examine yourself. Instead, you went further on the way. It is right. You are a talent. But I can’t have you here. We can’t serve you as a Manito.”
Li Shi curls her lips forcefully. She stares at Xia Ning, clenching her fists. She remembers all her efforts in the year. They are all in vain. She loses the whole battlefield inexplicably. She really can be resigned to that!
She thought that Xia Ning would warn her in advance. But Xia Ning even doesn’t give her any opportunities to slow down!
No. If she really leaves, she will have no chance again!
To leave C City means leaving him!
No. She can’t leave. No matter how, she can’t leave!
“Director Xia, I am wrong. Would you please give me another chance?”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “I am not giving you no chances. W City is a very good chance.”
Li Shi takes a deep breath. She keeps patient, “Director, I want to stay in C City for further development. I don’t want to leave. Please give me another chance.”
Li Shi yields. Xia Ning’s eyes gleam.
If it happened in the past, she would really soften her heart.
However, she has figured out one thing: To be merciful to enemies is to be cruel to oneself!
“Li Shi, W City is a chance for you. You may make the arrangement these days.”
“Xia Ning.” Li Shi grasps and her chest waves, “You decisively do this to me?”
Xia Ning takes up the coffee for a sip, “Li Shi, you chose your path. Don’t blame others for that. If there are no other things, you may go out now.”
“Good. Xia Ning, I will come back!” Li Shi grits her teeth and drops the words before she turns to leave and slams the door behind.
The door bangs loudly. Li Baoer pats on her chest, “Wow. The girl really has a quick temper.”
“She is very capable at work. If not because of personality problems, promotion is just a matter of time.” Xia Ning says. She takes up the handset and calls Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, pay attention to what happens in the Director Office.”
Xia Ning puts down the phone. She is aware of Li Baoer’s surprise. She smiles, “What’s wrong?”
Li Baoer looks carefully at Xia Ning for a while, “Are you really Ning?”
“That’s silly. Am I not Ning?”
Li Baoer shakes her head, “That’s not what Ning would do in the past. You become smart. I can hardly recognize you.”
“Hahaha.” Xia Ning laughs, “I was wondering what you said. You are praising me. Thank you.”
“Yes. I am praising you. To be honest, you come back this time and change a lot. What on earth happened during the time when you were away?”
Xia Ning doesn’t respond. She takes up the coffee for a sip. Then, she puts it down and says slowly, “I went to a very quiet place and thought over a lot of things. But what made me change happened in the first days after I came back. Rui did a lot for me secretly, while I was stupid and didn’t cherish him. Actually, happiness lies in our hands. I change because I want to be happier, and more positive. When other people attack me, I can’t just sit there to wait for the destruction. Baoer, do you agree?”
