Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Finally Found Her Weakness!
Maeve insisted uncompromisingly: “Being late and skipping work are two different things! If it was just being late from lunch, that’s one thing! But you actually sneaked out during working hours to meet your boyfriend!?”
Lin Qi suddenly realized what kind of person Maeve truly was!
She is someone who can’t stand to see others doing well, especially those who are better than her!
Dealing with this type of person is too easy.
There’s no need to get angry or argue with her, just let her know that you are living better than her and it will drive her crazy!
Lin Qi suddenly stuck out her tongue at her and chuckled mischievously, “Yeah! I did skip work to date my boyfriend. Didn’t you secretly snitch on me to my supervisor? Just deduct my bonus then. Even if I don’t get my bonus, I’ll be late tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and I’ll keep being late and go out to date my boyfriend during lunch breaks!”
Hmph!
That’ll infuriate her!
Maeve, infuriated, stood up and exclaimed: “Then don’t come to work anymore! What do you think this place is? Your own family’s business? You do whatever you want?”
Lin Qi shrugged innocently: “Yeah, I do treat this place like my home. You have the guts to report me to the supervisor, to President Qi, and get President Qi to fire me!”
Maeve was so angry that she was gnashing her teeth!
This woman, she’s really pushing her limits!
Maeve stood up and shouted at the top of her voice for the whole workplace to hear, “You think I wouldn’t dare? Lin Qi, just you wait!”
After that, she stormed furiously into Qi Ling Chuan’s office.
All colleagues in the workplace stood up, enjoying the drama without fearing it escalating.
Some took pleasure in the misfortune, covering their mouths and snickering: “Lin Qi, you’re done for!”
“Haha! You dare to offend Ms. Mia, the ace of the project team! She has huge power!”
“Why are you confronting her hard? At this critical moment, you should be sucking up to her, otherwise, if you offend her, you deserve to be fired!”
They all thought Lin Qi was scolded by Ms. Mia and was just stubbornly trying to save face.
Lin Qi, disinterested in addressing the various looks and scrutiny, calmly turned on her computer and continued with her work.
After all, she was serious about her work. If Maeve wanted to tattle to get her fired, then she’d just have to go home with tears, being kept by Huo Tingdong as a useless burden, right?
Lin Qi thought about it; even if she worked hard all her life, she couldn’t earn a fraction of Huo Tingdong’s assets.
With such capable son and husband, why wouldn’t she lay back and enjoy it?
In Qi Ling Chuan’s office, after Maeve finished her impassioned denunciation, inventing various charges against Lin Qi, she turned to look at Qi Ling Chuan.
“President Qi, keeping this kind of employee under you will only spoil your reputation!”
Maeve suggested seemingly out of concern, though she never outright said it, hinting to Qi Ling Chuan that he should fire Lin Qi promptly!
Qi Ling Chuan furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and looked at Maeve: “Alright, go back to work. I’ll have a proper talk with her later.”
Maeve nodded, “President Qi, I’m doing this for your sake, for the sake of the project team! Huace cannot accommodate such a detrimental person!”
After she finished, she suddenly thought of something, whispered: “President Qi, you don’t know, this woman has been boasting in the workplace saying her fiancé is going to propose to her soon, and also mentioning her boyfriend is also an employee of this company, earning a million a year, a local, with a house and car! Now it seems like she’s becoming unmanageable thinking her boyfriend getting married to her will support her, today she dares to skip the lunch hour, tomorrow she’ll skip full workdays! This must be stopped… and maybe you should check her boyfriend out!”
Qi Ling Chuan’s eyelids twitched fiercely: “What about her boyfriend?”
Maeve said: “She skipped work to date her boyfriend, her boyfriend probably took advantage of his company position to manage personal schedules during work time! These two, they are simply parasites of Huace!”
Qi Ling Chuan pressed his lips together, his eyelids twitching even more fiercely: “Are these kinds of allegations something you can just casually make?”
Maeve was taken aback.
Qi Ling Chuan said irritably: “You go back to work first!”
Maeve felt something was off.
Qi Ling Chuan’s tone suddenly became very impatient, and she didn’t know what she had said wrong, but President Qi was definitely going to talk to Lin Qi!
Maeve walked out of Qi Ling Chuan’s office triumphantly and returned to her desk.
Just as she sat down, Qi Ling Chuan’s assistant came to call Lin Qi.
Lin Qi put down her work and went to Qi Lichuan’s office.
As soon as she entered Qi Lichuan’s office, the workplace buzzed with excitement!
“Hahaha! Time to watch the drama unfold!”
“Let’s see how she comes out with her head hanging low!”
“Who does she think she is, acting all high and mighty, as if Huace belongs to her family and she can do whatever she pleases!”
“Just wait, President Qi will definitely fire her!”
Maeve elegantly sipped her coffee, a hint of triumph in her eyes.
Previously, she was worried about not finding any faults with Lin Qi, but this time, she finally caught Lin Qi slipping up!
She wanted to see Lin Qi cry as she packed up her things and left!
President Qi would definitely scold her harshly and expel her from the company.
The office.
Lin Qi sat down in front of him.
Looking at her, Qi Lichuan asked, “Did she just scold you?”
Lin Qi shook her head and said, “No, but her tone was quite harsh. Did she come here to tattle?”
She could guess how Maeve would tattle to Qi Lichuan.
Qi Lichuan said, “Ignore her. Why did you come back so late today at noon?”
Lin Qi replied, “It’s my son’s birthday, I went to buy a gift for him.”
Qi Lichuan asked, “Did Mr. Huo accompany you?”
Lin Qi said, “Yes.”
Qi Lichuan asked, “Do you want me to shuffle the seating?”
Currently, Lin Qi and Maeve sat diagonally across from each other, running into each other now and then, with Maeve always picking at her.
Qi Lichuan wanted to move her farther away from Maeve.
But Lin Qi said, “No need! That seat is quite fine! I really like it.”
Looking concerned, Qi Lichuan said, “I’m worried she might bully you.”
Lin Qi said, “Just watch and see who is bullying whom.”
Then, after speaking, she stood up, smiled slightly, and walked out of the office.
In the workplace, the employees who were waiting to watch the drama saw Lin Qi walking out of President Qi’s office with a smile and were all shocked.
Maeve’s hand holding the coffee cup suddenly stiffened, and the smile on her face froze as well.
She had not expected Lin Qi to walk out laughing, returning to her seat as if nothing had happened, and continue with her work!
Did President Qi not say anything to her?
She thought that President Qi would definitely tell her to pack her things and get out!
Now, the situation was embarrassing for Maeve!
Everyone looked at her as if silently asking what exactly she had said to President Qi, as there seemed to be no decision made about Lin Qi.
Maeve, unable to save face, furrowed her brow but held herself back from saying anything!
At half-past six in the afternoon.
Lin Qi clocked out from work.
Tingdong, as usual, was waiting for her in the underground garage.
