78: Please don't fire me.

Lei Jun pretended to be an ordinary visitor and walked around the first-floor lobby, observing the posture and morale of the security personnel.

She then went to check on the sanitation and environmental maintenance of the public areas.

She even randomly asked two white-collar workers hurrying past about their feelings regarding the property management.

Hmm, everything was in perfect order, and the details were handled well.

Lei Jun nodded inwardly; as expected of someone from the special forces, their execution and management skills were beyond reproach.

She hadn't been on her undercover inspection for long before she was recognized.

It couldn't be helped; with her head of silver hair and her heaven-defying beauty, Lei Jun was simply too easy to identify.

News quickly reached Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya, who was processing documents in her office, felt her heart skip a beat and instantly became apprehensive.

What happened with Miss Lei?

Why did she come to the company without notifying her? Was she dissatisfied with her?

She didn't want to lose this job with a monthly salary of thirty thousand yuan.

A few days ago, after her parents learned she had a conflict with a distant cousin, they gave her a harsh lecture and told her to apologize.

She had indignantly explained the whole story.

After her parents found out, they cried and said she had been wronged.

Then they said if she really couldn't find a job in the big city, she should just come back.

Back to their small hometown.

If she still couldn't find a job, the family would support her for a while before trying to find work again.

They didn't want her to endure grievances just because she couldn't find work in the big city.

Hearing those words at the time, she had instantly burst into tears.

She then told her parents that she had met a kind person, a benefactor—Miss Lei Jun.

Miss Lei had found her a job with a monthly salary of thirty thousand yuan.

Her parents didn't believe it, thinking she was lying to them because she was afraid they would worry.

They immediately said there was no need to lie and told her to hurry back.

Even after repeated explanations, her parents still didn't believe her.

Finally, the old couple came in person to see and confirm for themselves.

First, they shed tears, and then they were relieved.

Finally, they left with smiles on their faces.

Her heart felt warm then; her parents hadn't laughed like that in a long time.

She knew exactly who she needed to thank for all of this.

Her parents also earnestly exhorted her to work hard for Boss Lei.

To repay Boss Lei properly.

She couldn't be ungrateful or do anything to betray Boss Lei.

She kept her parents' exhortations close to her heart, and she had indeed acted accordingly.

After her parents returned to their hometown, they told all their relatives and friends about her thirty-thousand-yuan monthly salary in the big city.

Then they gave her a huge amount of praise over the phone.

They said she had brought honor to them in their hometown.

Everything mentioned above was brought to her by Miss Lei.

But if Miss Lei was dissatisfied and she lost this thirty-thousand-yuan job...

She would be sent back to square one.

The boasting her parents did to relatives and friends would also backfire.

Thinking of the disappointment in her parents' eyes and the pain of being mocked by others after a false joy...

She felt extremely distressed.

No, she couldn't let that happen.

She couldn't be fired by Miss Lei.

She then began to carefully recall her work during this period, wondering if there were any mistakes or areas where she hadn't put in enough effort.

But after thinking it over several times, she couldn't think of anything.

These past few days, in order not to fail Miss Lei's trust and kindness...

She had worked overtime until ten o'clock almost every night, carefully checking every lease contract, strictly supervising every service link of the property team, and even personally inspecting every corner of the building to ensure safety... She really couldn't figure out where she had slipped up.

With an apprehensive heart, she arrived before Lei Jun.

She then waited in despair for Lei Jun's judgment.

Looking at Zhao Ya, who had walked quickly to her with her hands nervously clasped together and a pale face, Lei Jun was a bit puzzled.

What's wrong with Zhao Ya?

Her expression was so heavy, as if she were about to go to an execution ground.

Lei Jun asked with concern.

“Zhao Ya, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?”

Hearing the question, Zhao Ya finally plucked up her courage, suddenly raised her head, and pleaded.

“Miss Lei, I... did I do something wrong?”

“Please... please don't fire me!”

“I will definitely work harder!”

“Fire you?”

Lei Jun was stunned by her words, and then it suddenly dawned on her.

So she thought my surprise visit was to give her the sack?

She found it a bit funny and was also a bit speechless.

Her imagination was a bit too strong, wasn't it?

Did she look like such a mercurial boss who fired people on a whim?

“What are you thinking?”

Lei Jun explained with a smile.

“Why would I fire you for no reason?”

“I just came by this time for a casual look. You've managed this building in an orderly fashion, even better than I expected!”

“The security is spirited, the environment is clean, and the tenant feedback is also good. You've done a great job and haven't failed my trust at all.”

These words were like heavenly music, instantly dispelling all the gloom and despair in Zhao Ya's heart.

She almost wept with joy.

Miss Lei wasn't here to fire her!

Miss Lei was praising her!

She felt as if she had been pulled from hell back to heaven in an instant; her tense body immediately relaxed, and she giggled uncontrollably.

She said excitedly.

“Thank you, Miss Lei! Thank you for your recognition!”

“Don't worry, I will definitely work even harder in the future. I will absolutely not fail your trust, and I will manage this place even better!”

Lei Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad; she knew how to be grateful and worked steadily—she was a reliable person.

She encouraged Zhao Ya with a few words, telling her to pay more attention to rest since her complexion was poor and not to just focus on working overtime.

Zhao Ya was very moved.

She suddenly remembered her parents' exhortation and quickly had her assistant go to her office to fetch a carefully wrapped gift box.

She held it in both hands and handed it to Lei Jun.

She said shyly.

“Miss Lei, this was sent specially by my parents from our hometown. It's cured meat they made themselves.”

“They insisted I give it to you as a small token of appreciation for taking care of me... It's not worth much, just a gesture. Please... please don't mind it.”

“Giving me a gift too?”

Lei Jun looked at the simple gift box, feeling a bit surprised and a hint of warmth.

They were quite a down-to-earth family.

She had originally wanted to decline, but seeing Zhao Ya's expectant and slightly nervous eyes, she swallowed the words back.

Forget it, she'd accept it; otherwise, Zhao Ya would start overthinking again.

“Thank your parents for me; they're too kind.”

Lei Jun took the gift box with a smile.

“It's thoughtful of them. I like this gift very much.”

Next, she had Zhao Ya accompany her for a walk around the office area to check on the employees' work status, and Lei Jun became even more satisfied.

Finally, she left the building in a pleasant mood, taking with her the fifty-eight million yuan in annual rent that had just arrived in her account.

After watching Lei Jun leave completely, Zhao Ya breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Then she continued to work diligently... Sitting in the car on the way back, looking at the skyrocketing balance in her mobile banking app, Lei Jun's desire to shop began to stir.
