Except for Zhang Li, who was a little disappointed, the others did not feel much about Li Xiaomei’s dismissal.
They were only surprised to hear that Li Xiaomei was personally fired by the boss. The employees knew that their boss normally didn’t handle these things. The person in charge was Zeng Yaozu, the general manager.
They did not expect that the boss would personally intervene in the dismissal of a small employee.
Li Xiaomei was really bold and unlucky.
The boss personally caught her skipping work for no reason. Who would like such a worker? Plus, this was the perfect opportunity for the boss to make an example out of Li Xiaomei. One shouldn’t skip work and expect to be forgiven.
However, Li Xiaomei was really pushing her luck. She could have asked for leave. It was not that hard!
One didn’t even need to do it in person. munication was much more convenient now. She could simply call or send a message to ask for a leave of absence.
Yet, she directly skipped work. Did she think she owned the supermarket? Could she e and go as she pleased?
Of course, Li Xiaomei did intend to be the wife of this supermarket’s general manager.
Anyone with eyes could notice it.
Whenever general manager Zeng appeared, Li Xiaomei would use all kinds of methods to attract the general manager’s attention.
However, every time, the general manager would perfectly step aside and refuse. That was really obvious.
For example, one time, when she saw general manager Zeng standing somewhere, Li Xiaomei deliberately passed by. Then, she pretended to sprain her ankle and fall into general manager Zeng’s arms.
However, perhaps general manager Zeng was very guarded, so he immediately turned around and left.
Li Xiaomei directly fell to the ground. Another time, she benefitted a male colleague because she fell into his arms when Zeng Yaozu avoided her.
It was a joke.
Li Xiaomei was thick-skinned enough to pretend that none of this had happened and continued her acting.
Even the naive Zhang Li realized that something was wrong with Li Xiaomei.
This made Zhang Li ask her, “Xiaomei, do you like general manager Zeng?”
Li Xiaomei did not say anything.
Zhang Li continued, “You can’t do that. General manager Zeng already has a girlfriend. She has been here before. They are such a happy couple. Xiaomei, you can’t ruin that.”
Li Xiaomei’s face turned black. She said angrily, “They aren’t married yet, are they? So how can I ruin anything? As long as they are not married, I have the right to pursue him.”
Those words sounded very familiar. It was the same words Li Xiaomei told Zhang Li when she tried to persuade her to go after General Manager Zeng.
Zhang Li was naive but not stupid.
Did Li Xiaomei like general manager Zeng? Yes, but she probably liked Zeng Yaozu’s handsomeness and money more.
Zhang Li saw how persistent Li Xiaomei was and didn’t try to persuade her. However, from then on, she became estranged from Li Xiaomei.
Therefore, when Li Xiaomei was fired, Zhang Li felt it was within her expectations.
General manager Zeng obviously did not like Li Xiaomei. Now that he finally had a reason, of course, he had to make good use of it. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
Li Xiaomei’s dismissal did not affect anyone.
However, it did make the employees more active in their work. If they had to leave, they would definitely ask for leave at the first moment.
They didn’t want to be the second Li Xiaomei, and they didn’t want to lose such a well-paid job.
Zeng Yaozu saw the change.
He reported the situation to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “This lets them know that their work is not irreplaceable. Therefore, everyone must work hard.”
…
After the discussion with the village elders and chief, Taoyuan Village had another village meeting. Many villagers heard the news, so they attached great importance to this meeting.
“I heard that Xiao Lingyu is going to turn our entire village into a tourist destination.”
“I heard the same thing. If she can do that, that will be great.”
“Does that mean Xiao Lingyu is going to contract the entire village?” Someone suddenly exclaimed.
“Ah, is that so?”
“Of course. Have you not seen it on Tv? Apart from the staff, no normal villagers are living in the tourist destinations.”
“So, do we need to move from Taoyuan Village?”
“No, I heard from the village chief that we’ll keep on living here. We’re renting the whole village to Xiao Lingyu.”
“The entire village?”
“I think so.”
“The village is huge! When Xiao Lingyu rented the mountain, she spent more than five million. The rental will be higher for the entire Taoyuan Village. Is Xiao Lingyu that rich?”
“Of course, she’s rich. Even if she doesn’t have money, her in-laws are rich. Have you forgotten that she married a rich man? Back then, her in-laws gave her a betrothal gift of several million RMB, and that was after Xiao Zhengyang rejected most of them. I heard that the original betrothal gift was more than a hundred million.”
“That’s really rich. Why is Xiao Lingyu’s life so good?”
“Is it really good? Haven’t you heard that Xiao Lingyu’s husband is in a vegetative state because of the car accident?”
“Sigh, that’s quite pitiful.”
“Is it though? This means that Xiao Lingyu will have all the money that belongs to her in-laws. With that, she could have easily bought out the entire Taoyuan Village. However, if we are required to move, there has to be a pensation fee.”
“No, I heard that Xiao Lingyu is still renting. However, the rent is definitely much higher than when she contracted the mountain.”
“The village chief told me that this time, Xiao Lingyu is planning to let the villagers invest in the development of Taoyuan Village.”
“Ah, what does that mean?”
“I don’t understand either!”
“The meeting today will talk about it. Let’s see what the village chief and the others have to say first.”
