CHAPTER 42

The next day in the office, the previous employees that Xu Kai had fired due to unreasonable reason walked into the office, they walked straight to Cheng Xiao.

"Miss Cheng, I don't know how to thank you." A middle-aged man folded his hands bowing to her.

"Please don't do this." She said unfolding the hands.

"I don't know how I was going to survive with my family if it was not for you." He said gratefully.

"Yes, Miss Cheng, we can't thank you enough." The lady said.

"It's fine, the reasons for which why you were fired were unnecessary." She replied to them.

"I was really struggling to find a job the past month, I didn't know if I would be able to pay for my rent." The woman said, she was the one who got fired for making a bad coffee.

"It's fine really, if I can come back, why shouldn't you come back. It's my fault for resigning in a rush." She said feeling guilty.

"You should go to your stations now." She said, they nodded with a smile and went back to their workstation.

"Look at her, she must really be feeling great right now." The whispers started.

"She just wants to show off how everyone is at her mercy now. She can get rid of you and bring you back if she wishes." The other responded.

"Do you want her to hear you, you could end up losing your job." Another one scolded.

"SHH!" They hushed when they saw her looking in their directions.

Cheng Xiao heard the whispers but said nothing.

Her focus right now was the interviews she was going to conduct. She wanted to find Xu Kai a replacement as soon as possible. 

She stood up and took the file with here that had the interviewees.

She went into the meeting room and took a seat, she and the other two people from HR were accompanying her.

"Miss Cheng, what do you think of this one?" One the asked.

"She looks capable." She replied.

"Shall we proceed in hiring her?" The other one asked, and she nodded.

"It's lunch time, we should head out." She said looking at the time.

"Okay!" They packed their things and went out.

Cheng Xiao went back to her station to fetch her bag. She met Shen Mu downstairs along with the employees that came back to work.

"They said they wanted to eat with you today." Shen Mu said when she approached them.

"Yes, miss Cheng, we wanted to treat you to lunch." One of them said.

"There is no need for that, I glad you guys got your jobs back." She replied.

"Okay then let us eat together." The other one said.

"You are not going to reject us again, will you?" She asked.

"No, let's go. I am really hungry." Cheng Xiao said patting her stomach.

"What do you feel like today?" Shen Mu asked linking their hands together.

"Right now, I feel like eating spicy noodles." Cheng Xiao replied.

"You and spiciness." Shen Mu said shaking her head and they walked out.
