Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Rival in Love (1)

MN

Wa Zicong stood in his boss’s office.

This was a foreigner, named Joseph, a middle-aged old man with a slightly overweight body. MN was a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, so it was not surprising that some of the key leadership positions were usually filled by people sent from the company headquarters to the Greater China region, mostly expatriates.

As for dealing with foreigners, Zicong was quite accustomed to it. He had come to understand what his boss was like after working with him for a while. Speaking of foreigners, one should not expect their integrity to be much higher than that of Chinese businessmen; when it came to money, there was no difference between abroad and China.

Since Zicong was very clear about this, if his foreign boss asked him to leave, his first thought would definitely not be that his boss was deliberately kicking him while he was down; on the contrary, he knew it must have been Lin Jiale’s doing.

"Did Mr. Lin tell you to do this?" Zicong’s mouth twisted into a sardonic smile.

Joseph, with a mix of English and Chinese, seemed to try to downplay the issue, saying, "Manager Wa, the mistake you made last time has now been exposed. Although you say it was your subordinate who framed you and the company, and it has nothing to do with you, the cover-up has failed, and the headquarters has sent down the word that you need to take responsibility for this. After all, that employee was someone you hired in the first place."

Here we go, bringing up the old issue with Su Yixia; that was old news, and besides, the company hadn’t suffered much loss from that incident. It was just a project that had been canceled before it even started.

If they wanted to fire someone, the company could come up with all kinds of reasons. It was just like when a couple argues and all the good things from the past turn into faults, and they can’t wait to break up.

Zicong naturally understood this very well and said, "I know, Mr. Lin asked you to do this. Whether you admit it or not, please tell Mr. Lin something for me, ’He—has—run—out—of—luck.’"

Joseph flinched as if startled and shook his head, "Manager Wa, as you Chinese say, why bother with this unnecessary trouble?"

Zicong didn’t bother with further words, simply stating, "According to the contract I signed with the company, if you make me leave now, it will be a breach of the relevant contract law, requiring you to pay me a year’s salary for damages. I’ll leave once I have the money. Otherwise, I’ll see you in court."

Joseph’s mouth hung open, probably not expecting him to be so decisive, and he said angrily, "It was you who made the mistake, Manager Wa, and the company is already being kind not to ask for compensation from you. And now you want the company to compensate you?"

"I’ve said it before, if we can’t come to an agreement, I’ll see you in court," Zicong finished speaking and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey—" Joseph called out after him, gradually shifting to cursing in his native language. His words roughly translated to cursing Zicong as a damn Chinese monkey trickster, accusing him of deceiving him and the like.

It seemed that in the eyes of foreigners, any slightly cunning Chinese businessman could be likened to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven that they were familiar with.

Zicong returned to his own office, ready to pack up his things. MN was not stupid, and neither was Joseph. He was well aware of who would be found at fault if this went up to headquarters. If the local office really wanted to please Jiale at his expense, undoubtedly the matter would have to be settled quietly before it escalated to headquarters.

The money for one year’s breach of contract should be deposited into his salary account by the end of the day.

Actually, the person who would suffer the most would still be him, Zicong. Because it was unlikely that Jiale would stop at just getting him fired from MN; next, he would make sure Zicong hit a wall everywhere he went. No one would accept him, Zicong, any longer. In that case, he would inevitably have to crawl back to the Lin father and daughter.
