The next morning, I arrived at the company ready to steady the morale of the team.

But as soon as I entered the company, I saw a bunch of strangers sitting at the sales department's workstations.

Seven or eight young girls I'd never seen before were chit-chatting at the desks.

And there was an older woman with her legs crossed, sitting in my chair, munching on sunflower seeds and littering the floor with shells.

It was only when I saw a message on my phone that I realized Xu Lili had spent just one night to fire all the sales department employees!

Not only that, she recruited her entire clique of girlfriends and relatives to fill the positions.

This mass layoff drama had the whole company buzzing!

Everyone knew the backbone of the sales department were industry elites groomed by me personally!

Leaving the company, they'd be snatched up by dozens of companies in no time.

But only Xu Lili was oblivious to this.

I shook my head helplessly, telling her she'd regret firing these people.

Yet Xu Lili laughed so hard she was practically bending over, mocking me:

"Chen Yue, you're just a lousy worker, what right do you have to talk to me like this?"

Xu Lili snorted coldly, her eyes full of ridicule, pointing at the calculative old woman and said to me:

"You're really full of yourself, aren't you? It's just selling to clients, my second aunt has been selling veggies in the market for over twenty years, she's way more professional at selling than you!"

Xu Lili might have watched too many workplace dramas, thinking she's a business genius.

She claimed she'd double the company's profit while the boss was away on a business trip, and to boost profit, she devised a cost-cutting plan.

And the sales department, which claimed eighty percent of the company bonuses, was her biggest obstacle.

Eliminate our department, and she could save up millions in bonuses.

That day, as she wished, I prepared to resign along with the department staff.

As I packed my things, the HR manager looked at me in shock.

"Sister Chen, are you really leaving?"

I deftly started packing, smiling: "I've been fired, so why wouldn't I?"

She widened her eyes, looking at me in disbelief: "Firing you, Xu Lili must be insane, right? Everyone knows you're the boss's favorite, isn't she afraid of breaking up with the boss?"

I shook my head and chuckled lightly: "Well, that's beyond me. After all, it's her decision, she has to bear the consequences herself."

HR was very angry: "You're the backbone of our company, if you leave, our company is doomed!"

Indeed.

Even HR understood this clearly, but Xu Lili just didn't get it.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

It's a good chance to take a break, and take care of my health.

However, when I went to finance to collect my salary, Xu Lili followed me.

Upon seeing my salary of 188,000, her face turned green!

"How can it be this much!"
