Chapter 355: A woman, pacing at the entrance of the village, withdrew again. (2)

“Ah, Xiao Xia is here. Have a seat, please. Boss Shu had just called and let me know that you are a rare talent. It was partly my overlook that you had remained undiscovered for so long. In addition to making you a permanent worker today, Boss Shu also made an exception and making you a team lead,” said the head of Human Resource. Anyone with half a brain would be able to see that Shu Yan had an eye for Xia Ruo now and she would likely be going up and up from this point forward. Even if they weren’t going to be friends, they should at least have an amicable relationship.

“Team lead?” Xia Ruo was a little dazed. There was a total of three team leads in Designs. If she was going to be one, then……

“This is the contract for a permanent worker. You can take a look at it and sign here if you don’t have any questions. And, have Lin Shanshan come here for a second on your way back.”

As smart as Xia Ruo was, she immediately had it figured out. Long story short, she had taken over Lin Shanshan’s spot. The business scene is like the battlefield. She did not feel guilty taking over Lin Shanshan’s spot. She trusted that Lin Shanshan would have no hesitation firing her if only she could.

Xia Ruo was nervous on her way there but she had her head held high on her way out.

Seeing that Xia Ruo had returned, Lin Shanshan chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t feel bad. Teacher Wang has always had an eye for you. I trust that all you need to do is to go cry to her and she will pull some strings for you again.”

Lin Shanshan’s statement was very loaded. Everybody looked over at Xia Ruo. They didn’t know that Xia Ruo needed to have strings pulled even for just an intern position. No wonder she still hasn’t become a permanent hire after three months.

Xia Ruo was going to retort but suddenly realized that that was very pointless. “HR said to have you to head over there.”

“What do they want to talk to me about?” Lin Shanshan’s hand that was holding a document paused in midair.

“They are going to promote you, of course. What else could it be? Isn’t there an assistant manager position opening above you?” said a female colleague with a smile.

She was one of the permanent persons on their team and also Lin Shanshan’s minion. If Lin Shanshan said left, she would never say right. Her work was mediocre but her ability to fawn was top notch.

“Shush. Probably some other personnel matter.” Lin Shanshan had a pretty good idea of her own academic background and ability. She was nowhere close to that of the other two team leads. She would not make assistant manager. She figured they might want to her look for a new intern now that Xia Ruo was fired.

As soon as Lin Shanshan had stepped away, the minion quickly turned toward Xia Ruo and said, “Hey, why aren’t you packing up yet?”

Xia Ruo gave her a look and slowly started packing up.

“Are you really going to go, Xia Ruo?” The other intern looked at Xia Ruo, not wanting her to leave.

“Mmm.” She was going, but not leaving. Just moving to a different desk.

After a long while, Lin Shanshan returned angrily. Giving Xia Ruo a gloomy look, she said, “You’ve talked to Boss Shu?”

“That’s right.”

“Why did you turn in your drafts behind my back? You went over my head? Did you know that that is against company policy?” asked Lin Shanshan while gritting her teeth.

“The policy also stated with the exception of special circumstances. Do you think that that would apply here?” said Xia Ruo nonchalantly.

Lin Shanshan’s lips trembled. “You go and tell Boss Shu right now that we have no conflicts sand that it was all a misunderstanding.”

“Lin Shanshan, you know best whether there are any misunderstandings. You had been holding me back and did everything within your power to get me to leave over some minor incident back in school. And now you are asking me to lie to Boss Shu for you? Are you crazy or am I just stupid?”

Everybody in the office were looking at the both of them. They had it figured out by now. Xia Ruo wasn’t the one leaving; Lin Shanshan was.

Lin Shanshan was fired and Xia Ruo was taking over her position as the new team lead.

The minion who had just talked down to Xia Ruo had an awful look on her. Just a while earlier she was still “Sister Shanshan this” and “Sister Shanshan that”. Now she wouldn’t even see her out. She came over enthusiastically to help Xia Ruo move her stuff over to Lin Shanshan’s old spot.

“Let me. Let me. You don’t need to do this yourself.”

Xia Ruo frowned a little. She needed a talk with Human Resource that she did not need someone like her on her team. Whether they were going to transfer or fire her, that would be their decision.

She hadn’t sat down for very long before the phone rang. It was a call from Shu Yan, telling her to attend a meeting with the other team leads and their manager.
