89: Chapter 89 Dismissing Qin Suxin

The next day.

When Zhao Feiyu woke up, Xia Zhu was already gone.

The dining table was spread with a sumptuous breakfast.

Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but smile happily.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xia Zhu had already finalized the investment matters for Rundafa Supermarket.

It could be said that the Rundafa Supermarket in Yunduan City now belonged to Feiyu Investment Company.

...

"Oh no, oh no!"

In the suburbs.

In the rented apartment where Qi Jiaojiao and her mother lived.

Qin Suxin shouted anxiously while getting dressed.

"Sister Zhang's elderly family member was hospitalized last night, and she called me in the middle of the night to swap shifts. How could I have forgotten about this!"

She checked the time.

Qin Suxin said to Qi Jiaojiao, who had already gotten up and started studying, "Jiaojiao, handle your own breakfast. Mom is heading to work now!"

After saying that,

Qin Suxin rushed out the door.

Then she hailed a taxi to go to Rundafa.

Rundafa was in the city center.

Usually, she had to transfer buses several times to get there.

But now, time did not allow her to do that.

If she were late and got fined, it would cost more than the taxi fare.

Plus, there was also the possibility of being fired.

As a chain supermarket,

the benefits for employees there were quite good.

Many middle-aged women her age, or even older, were eyeing this job.

The competition was simply too intense.

When Qin Suxin rushed there, it was already nine in the morning.

It was already over an hour past her shift start time.

"Who is responsible for this counter? Where is the person?"

Early in the morning, there weren't many people at Rundafa.

The supermarket manager and the regional supervisor began their rounds.

When they arrived at the daily necessities section,

they didn't see the sales staff there.

"Who is in charge here today?"

The regional supervisor's face darkened immediately.

This area was under her responsibility.

If anything went wrong, the manager wouldn't let her off the hook.

"It seems this area is Sister Zhang's morning shift!"

"Zhang Li?"

The regional supervisor immediately took out her phone and called Zhang Li.

After a long while, the call finally went through.

"Hello? Zhang Li, do you not want to work anymore? Where are you?"

"I, I, I... Supervisor, I swapped shifts with Qin Suxin last night. My elderly family member was hospitalized last night, and I'm at the hospital right now!"

"Qin Suxin?"

The regional supervisor's face darkened immediately.

"Does this Qin Suxin not want to work anymore? She swapped shifts with someone, so why isn't she here yet?"

"Enough, enough!"

The pot-bellied manager waved his hand directly and said.

"Just fire her. She didn't keep her promise to a colleague, has a negative attitude toward work, and is an hour late for her shift. Just fire her!"

After saying this, the manager ignored the matter and walked to the next section.

But no one noticed that a triumphant smile appeared on the manager's face.

He thought to himself, "Finally caught an opportunity. Those poor relatives of mine all want to work here; this is great!"

Just then, a breathless voice came from afar.

"I'm here, Manager, I'm here. I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Looking over,

they saw Qin Suxin jogging over in her work uniform.

Upon seeing Qin Suxin,

the manager's eyes lit up immediately.

Although Qin Suxin was bare-faced, without any heavy makeup, her natural and simple appearance could strike straight at the soul.

It made the pot-bellied manager's heart itch immediately.

Immediately, the manager rolled his eyes, and a sudden idea gave him an opportunity.

He then licked his lips and walked straight over.

"Qin Suxin, where did you go?"

The regional supervisor questioned her directly.

"I've already verified it with Zhang Li; she swapped shifts with you, so why are you late!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Manager!"

Qin Suxin caught her breath and quickly explained.

"Sister Zhang called me at 3 AM last night. After I woke up this morning, I just forgot about it. I'm really sorry!"

"It doesn't matter what time she called you. Once you agreed, you should have been on duty on time. The manager just said it: you have been fired!"

The regional supervisor didn't say another word and just waved her hand.

"Ah!"

A look of panic immediately appeared on Qin Suxin's face.

"Please don't, Supervisor, I really didn't do it on purpose!"

Just then, Qin Suxin suddenly saw the manager standing behind.

She immediately walked over to explain.

"Manager, I really didn't do it on purpose. For the sake of my three years of diligent work, please don't fire me, okay?"

Seeing this, other staff members nearby also couldn't bear it.

"Yeah, Manager, Sister Suxin has worked here for three years without taking a single day off. She really works diligently. Please give her a chance!"

"Rules are rules!"

The manager said with a dark expression, appearing cold and heartless.

"If everyone were like this, could this supermarket even stay open?"

"However..."

At this point, a wicked smile appeared on the manager's face.

He then walked up to Qin Suxin and said.

"For the sake of your hard work, come to my office in a bit, and I'll see if I can arrange another position for you!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Qin Suxin was immediately overjoyed.

But immediately after, the manager smirked and said, "That depends on how you perform!"

Hearing this, Qin Suxin immediately stepped back in fear.

Because she had heard more than once that this manager abused his power and bullied female employees in the supermarket.

She didn't know how many female employees had been ruined by him!

"No... I'd better not!"

Qin Suxin waved her hand and said, "Manager, thank you for your kindness, but I still request to continue working in this position. You're firing me just because I was an hour late; that's a bit heartless, isn't it?"

"Heartless? Who's in charge here, me or you?"

Seeing that Qin Suxin wasn't playing along, the manager was furious.

"Qin Suxin, I remember you have a daughter studying at Yasi Middle School, right?"

"The annual tuition at Yasi Middle School is 100,000 yuan. Without this job, how will you support your daughter?"

"My advice is, you should reconsider!"

"No need to reconsider. Regarding my lateness today, I will report it to the general manager. If the general manager also agrees to fire me, then I, Qin Suxin, have nothing to say!"

Qin Suxin's unyielding character immediately earned the respect of those around her.

But this also completely offended the manager.

"Fine! Go ahead and report it. Let's see if the general manager believes me, the manager, or you, an employee!"

After saying this, the manager scanned everyone coldly.

"I warn you all, I will report today's events truthfully to the general manager. If any of you don't cooperate, don't blame me for firing you too!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the other employees who were prepared to stand up for Qin Suxin didn't dare to speak up anymore.

"You... you are abusing your power!"

Qin Suxin shouted, holding back the grievance in her heart.

"Alright, that's it for today's matter. I'm going to report to the general manager now!"

After saying this, the manager prepared to leave.

Just at this moment,

a woman wearing a small white suit, looking very capable, was seen walking quickly toward them surrounded by a group of people.
