Chapter 134 Rescue
"What are you thinking? Who do you think I am?" Ding Hong narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura suddenly emerged. It was because he saw contempt and... disgust in the other person's eyes!
Disgusted? Disgusted about what? Disgusted that I like you? Or do you think I'm... a pervert?!
Thinking of this, Ding Hong angrily shouted: "It's unreasonable!"
Why are you yelling? Are you trying to hide your guilt? An Yi was unwilling to get involved with him, and took two steps back to go around him. The two of them were alone, and there were not many people working overtime today, so they had to escape first before thinking about it.
It was a pity that she couldn't compete with the other person's long legs. She was blocked by the tall figure. An Yi was no longer as submissive as usual, staring at Ding Hong without giving in. Whenever she recalled these two days, she always secretly annoyed herself for being too cautious and lacking decisiveness. If she was still like this today, the other party would think she was weak and could be bullied.
Bah! If a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat. Even if I have no power or influence, I still have my family to love and protect me. Moreover, we live in a society ruled by law, with a bright and clear world and a bright sun and moon.
An Yi risked her life. Although her temples were throbbing and her hands were shaking unconsciously, she tried to cover it up with fists but accidentally pulled them and got burned. The pain made her mouth tremble and she bit her lips hard, like a female leopard ready to attack at any time.
"Shall we sit down and talk?" Ding Hong sighed imperceptibly and conceded defeat. He was so angry, but was easily defeated by the woman's slight expression of pain. He shook his head, and the sigh was for himself.
"No." An Yi refused. There was nothing to discuss. The matter was very simple. So he said with determination: "I decided to resign when I joined the company, you know."
"But you and Uncle Han weren't talking about today."
"Yes, something happened suddenly, so..."
"You were already embarrassed to say that you would only work for half a year, so you would never resign early, otherwise it would be very dishonest of you." Ding Hong's voice was full of sarcasm.
An Yi was furious, thinking: Why don't you know about me? How shameless! But she knew clearly that she couldn't bring this up. Our famous Mr. Ding would never admit it, and it would only make things more difficult for her.
I was thinking about how to refute it when I heard my boss's cold voice: "It is clearly written in the contract: you must notify your superior in writing thirty days in advance if you resign. If your improper resignation causes losses to the company, the company can demand compensation from the person who resigned."
"I am just a little assistant..."
"Small?" Ding Hong shook his head: "You are the only secretary to the president of Sun Technology. You are in charge of all the confidential documents of the company and are also responsible for the marketing data of several ongoing projects. Our company does not have any contracts worth less than one million. If losses are caused due to your improper handover or even just walking away without a care, you can try to calculate the amount involved." As he spoke, he slowly walked forward, forcing the stunned little woman to retreat continuously. In the end, she stopped for fear of angering the other party.
At this moment, An Yi quickly recalled the contents of the contract. What the boss said was indeed a clause that any company would include in the contract. However, his previous resignations had been smooth. Although his leaders would also persuade him to stay, as long as the handover was clear after making his intentions clear, it would be completed in a week at most.
Thirty days in advance? Compensation?
Looking at her boss inquiringly, An Yi wondered: Was the other party trying to intimidate her, or would it really go to court? To be honest, she was not sure. Who knew if the boss Ding, who was always arbitrary and moody, would play a trick on a small employee? You know, the legal department of the head office has several lawyers with high salaries, and it is said that there are also external consultants.
I shivered quietly and thought of a countermeasure quickly.
How could Ding Hong give An Yi enough time to think? His remarks were only to catch her off guard, weaken her momentum, and buy himself time to solve the problem and restore his image.
"Would you like to talk?" He sent out the friendship boat again. Seeing that An Yi still didn't respond, Ding Hong strode to the door and pulled it open.
The sounds of colleagues talking, typing, and printers running could be heard faintly in the office. Finally, seeing An Yi's look of surprise but finally relaxation, Ding Hong sighed that he was such a failure as a person. He regrouped and cheered himself up, pointing to the sofa in the corner of the president's office: "There's such a big coffee table in the middle, it's safe, isn't it?"
After saying that, he walked over first, and secretly guarded against An Yi running away. Seeing An Yi made up his mind and followed him, Ding Hong felt relieved: at least he should keep calm first, otherwise he would not be able to display his eloquence.
"The company needs you right now." Without waiting for An Yi to sit down, Ding Hong spoke directly: "The suspension of the sales department's inventory work is not only due to the launch of new products, but actually to give several district managers a last chance to make corrections and fill in the gaps. It will be restarted soon. I promised those people: as long as they solve the problem well, the company will not pursue it, and the previous data will be sealed and stored in the database, and it will be over. So An Yi, the inventory work can only be carried out by you from beginning to end. I agree that Qin Shan will take over your work in the future, but not at this time or for this project."
Ding Hong felt thirsty after finishing his words, so he stood up and went to the bar to get some water, which gave An Yi some space to calm down. He hoped that An Yi's professionalism would satisfy him, and he also had a trick up his sleeve. If he showed it, it would greatly increase the chances of success. This was what he had just thought of. After all, who could have expected that this woman would take his love gesture as a sexual advance. Ding Hong held his forehead and sighed.
"Drink some water."
A cup with a straw appeared in front of her, and An Yi couldn't help but praise her boss's meticulousness. After the commotion just now, her throat was dry and she slowly stretched out her little "flower" hand that she had been hiding, picked up the cup and sipped it.
Ding Hong's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape. The ointment on An Yi's hand had been almost absorbed. Although the burned area did not break the skin or blister, it was also red and swollen. Worry and anger were gathering again. Ding Hong took a deep breath to calm down. It was urgent to persuade this woman to resign, and it was even more urgent to save his glorious image!
His hands were burned, so he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Xiao Yang. He looked at An Yi and said gently, "I have estimated that it can be completed before the time you and Uncle Han agreed on, so can you resign then?"
An Yi's mind was in a mess. She was very clear about the progress and importance of the 30-day inspection stipulated in the contract. What the boss said was reasonable, but she had ignored it before. Now she was in a helpless and embarrassing situation. It was a big mistake. Only her hands on her knees reminded her: How can you live with wolves?
Suddenly, I thought of a solution: I could work from home without a salary! Anyway, every audit was done by telephone conference, so it would not be affected at all. Businessmen pursue profits, and who can refuse free labor?
An Yi was sure that the other party would agree, so he quickly expressed his idea. Unexpectedly, the boss refuted him with one sentence: "All the data for the final inventory must be operated on the company's computer. It is a commercial secret and involves major issues. I believe you can understand." Seeing An Yi's posture of asking for it again, he knew that his back-up plan was imperative.
Oh, I really don’t want to use it.
I had no choice but to say, "I understand your taboo. Let's take care of the work first and discuss it with you later. However, I still care about and respect your feelings. Let's do this: from tomorrow until the day you leave, I will not show up when you are in the office. If you violate this, your resignation application will take effect immediately."
"It's been more than a month, how can you not come?" An Yi didn't believe it. Besides, he had never heard of any boss making room for a mere assistant.
"Originally, I only came a few times a year. I just submitted some documents that needed approval to the headquarters regularly. I still followed the old pattern. Besides, what I said was: I won't come when you are here. Do you think you can stay at the company 24 hours a day?"
Seeing that An Yi had nothing to say, he continued, "Prepare your resignation report in advance, leaving the date blank. As you said just now, if you see me again at Sun Technology, give it to me to sign immediately. I will never break my promise!"
The boss's words were very powerful. An Yi was silent for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
What if she disagreed? She couldn't think of a better way. And she knew that she lacked evidence for the so-called crime she had identified, so she didn't have the confidence to confront him.
Ding Hong heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he felt a sense of humiliation that he had not felt for many years. He tried to suppress his anger and sat up straighter, and started the second part: "Now that we have reached a consensus on the work, it's time to talk about your judgment of me."
Seeing that the other party was squirming awkwardly and had no intense emotional expressions or actions, I knew that the situation was already good and it would be best to strike while the iron was hot.
"I am a person who rarely explains. But you are my subordinate, an excellent subordinate, and obviously something has caused big problems in our relationship. First of all, I sincerely apologize for holding your hand without your consent in the theater. The crowd was crowded at the time, and someone in front screamed, making the order even more chaotic. I think I misjudged your condition and felt that you were in danger. I should have supported you, but there was limited space so I had to hold your hand..."
"But I struggled and resisted, you should let go." An Yi couldn't help but interjected with grievance.
Ding Hong nodded: "I found out. I think that's because you don't know who it is. If you knew it was me, you wouldn't refuse."
An Yi was dumbfounded, thinking, "Aren't you too arrogant? Why wouldn't you refuse when you know it's you?"
"Colleagues love and help each other. I don't believe you think there was no danger of trampling in the environment at that time." Ding Hong was very stubborn. Nonsense, could it be that I was so timid that I wanted to arouse the love between us like a flash of lightning through physical contact, hoping to see you look back with shyness or a smile of understanding?
"Boss, this is how movie theaters always close. I can't say for sure how safe it is, but a stampede is unlikely to happen."
Great, I’ve fallen into the trap!
Ding Hong was secretly delighted, then pretended to be confused: "Really?" Then he suddenly said: "Maybe it's been too long since I went to a public cinema. The atmosphere of the queue at that time made me feel very flustered and depressed, and I felt that my eyes could not find the focus." He shook his head in distress: "In the future, team building cannot be organized in places where there are too many people."
Although she had speculated that the boss had claustrophobia or something like that, when she heard it with her own ears, An Yi's eyes became clear and she didn't believe it...
