Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 384 - 382: Explanation
In the car, Huo Zhenyang’s slender and straight fingers parted to straighten the collar of his shirt, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, "What’s happened to her?"
"Today, Chu Jiayi went to UA to deliver sample garments and altered the original creations of the chief designer Fang Yao on her own. Fang Yao is very angry and has filed a complaint. She insists that Chu Jiayi should not pass the probation period and that the company should fire her immediately."
Chu Jiayi was referred by the largest behind-the-scenes shareholder of Yundu, and Manager Yang didn’t dare to dismiss her just like that.
No matter what, he had to notify Huo Zhenyang first.
But Fang Yao is the core figure of Yundu’s women’s clothing line, essentially the company’s pillar. He couldn’t offend her for a newcomer.
Manager Yang could only placate Fang Yao temporarily and call Huo Zhenyang to report the incident first.
Huo Zhenyang’s brows locked even tighter, "She altered the sample garments on her own?"
What on earth was this young woman doing? Was it that hard to keep to her duties? Why cause trouble with her superior for no reason?
"Yes, Mr. Huo," said Manager Yang, feeling helpless.
"Is Director Fang insistent on making Chu Jiayi leave?" Huo Zhenyang’s face darkened slightly.
Manager Yang’s face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, "Yes, Director Fang is furious. She just stormed into my office and laid down the ultimatum. At Yundu, it’s either her or Chu Jiayi—not both. She wants a decision by this afternoon and doesn’t want to see Chu Jiayi again tomorrow. Mr. Huo knows that Fang Yao is highly regarded in the fashion design industry. She is currently the mainstay of Yundu’s women’s wear. Throughout these years, she has made significant contributions to our Yundu, and many companies are trying to poach her. Losing Fang Yao over a minor newcomer is simply not worth it..."
Not to mention Chu Jiayi’s unauthorized change to the chief designer’s original design was indeed wrong, but even if she had her reasons, such actions would surely displease her superiors.
After a few minutes of silence on the phone, the man’s steady voice finally came through, "I’ll be at the company shortly."
-
After Fang Yao came down from upstairs, the atmosphere in the women’s clothing design department shifted.
Before entering the director’s office, Fang Yao turned her head and gave Jiayi a cold look; everyone in the department noticed. Before they could snap back to reality, Fang Yao raised her voice and called out to Tong Xiaomian, who was closest to Jiayi, "Tong Xiaomian, take over Chu Jiayi’s work for today!"
She thought she could climb over her without even being a regular employee?
Then Fang Yao would have wasted all those years in the industry!
Both Jiayi and Tong Xiaomian were simultaneously surprised.
It took a while for Tong Xiaomian to come to her senses, "Director Fang, why should I take over Jiayi’s tasks?"
"She’s leaving this afternoon, so go ahead and take over her work now. You don’t want to be unprepared when she’s gone," Fang Yao dropped these words, walked into her office, and slammed the door shut.
Tong Xiaomian drew a sharp breath and looked at Jiayi.
In an instant, everyone in the office looked at Jiayi with sympathy.
Even though they didn’t know how she had crossed Fang Yao, since Fang Yao had spoken, it was as good as certain.
Fang Yao was a big name at Yundu. God knows how many attempts it took to poach her to Yundu. Normally, even the senior executives showed her great respect.
However, sympathy is one thing; having one less competitor meant a bigger chance for the remaining design assistants to pass the probation period.
This time, there were only three design assistants left in the women’s clothing design department, but four newcomers. If Jiayi left, the positions for the remaining three would be much more secure.
"Jiayi, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have suggested trading tasks with you, it’s my fault you lost your job," Tong Xiaomian’s eyes began to redden.
Jiayi was also stunned by the sudden news of her dismissal, but blaming Tong Xiaomian now was pointless.
Seeing how frantic Tong Xiaomian was, almost to tears, she said, "I will go talk to Manager Yang and explain things later."
That was easier said than done. Why would Manager Yang listen to her explanation?
Even if I did listen, how could the company possibly offend Fang Yao for my sake? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Jiayi’s stomach was filled with trepidation as she sat down and continued to work on her computer.
As long as Yundu hadn’t officially notified her to leave, she was still an employee of Yundu.
An hour later, someone from the women’s wear design department came over, "Chu Jiayi, Manager Yang would like you to come up."
It was Manager Yang’s secretary.
The gazes of the colleagues in the design department all focused on Jiayi, filled with pity, sympathy, regret, and also relief for themselves.
Fang Yao really could say it, and do it.
It seemed that Manager Yang calling her up was to formally fire her.
How difficult it was to get into Yundu!
After becoming a regular employee, her salary would multiply several times over!
It was with great difficulty that she had gotten in, and now to be fired just like that, it was too unlucky.
——
The senior management floor of Yundu was bright and clean, with high-end and luxurious decor, marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and marble columns.
Having joined for only two or three months, Jiayi had never had the chance to come up here; she never imagined her first visit would be under these circumstances.
She sighed softly and knocked on the door, "Manager Yang, I am Chu Jiayi."
"Come in." Manager Yang’s deep and thick middle-aged male voice came from inside.
Jiayi could feel sweat soaking her back; she pushed open the door, walked in with her head lowered, and just as she raised her head to explain to Manager Yang, who was behind the desk, the words reached her lips and were suddenly swallowed.
Her eyes widened in shock; there was another person sitting on the office sofa, a tall and majestic figure that was not unfamiliar at all. At the moment, his hands rested on the armrests of the sofa, and his deep, dark eyes gazed over, filled with nothing but dissatisfaction.
It was that man.
That made sense.
He was also one of the company’s executives, after all. Having offended Fang Yao and facing the turmoil of being dismissed, he would certainly be aware of it.
He was still counting on her to work at Yundu and pay off her debts; he probably wouldn’t want her to be dismissed, right?
Comforting herself with this thought, Jiayi felt a little more at ease.
On the other side of the sofa, Fang Yao had also been called in.
Upon seeing Jiayi, her expression darkened further.
"Manager Yang, Director Fang," Jiayi greeted the several superiors in the office; her eyes moved to a certain person, and she took a deep breath, "Manager Huo."
Fang Yao didn’t care to say much; she turned directly to Manager Yang and said, "Manager Yang, what are you waiting for?"
Manager Yang glanced awkwardly at the man on the other side of the sofa, then faced Fang Yao, "Director Fang, perhaps I should listen to Chu Jiayi’s explanation of the specific reasons first."
Huo Zhenyang also glanced at Fang Yao; his gaze was indifferent but concealed an undetectable chill.
Fang Yao looked very unwilling, but to Jiayi’s surprise, she didn’t say a word.
Jiayi felt the stern gaze of the man on the sofa piercing her, as if in a court trial, and said, "When I arrived at UA, I discovered that the prototype was damaged. UA’s Manager Shi is very picky, and a small mistake could be greatly magnified. If he saw us presenting that prototype to him, he might terminate the cooperation with Yundu. Plus, UA’s manufacturer just happened to come over, wanting to see the model’s styling, and they needed to wear the prototype immediately. I had no choice but to alter Director Fang’s prototype. At that moment, all I thought about was to deal with the situation first and then explain properly to Director Fang when I returned. I didn’t expect that UA’s manufacturer would take a liking to my design."
