Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 40 Sudden Death After Overtime



"Wang Yue, what's going on? Why haven't you done the spreadsheet I asked you to do? Are my words just wind past your ears..." Zheng Aojiao kept tapping on the desk with her hand, her face full of arrogance.

"But, manager, it was you who said there was no hurry, so I..." And Wang Yue was like a wronged little girl, lowering her head, tears swirling in her eyes.

Su Chen was immediately a bit angry. To secure the client, the innocent girl almost sacrificed herself, and now she was being bullied by Zheng Aojiao.

You should know, last night the innocent girl had quite a few drinks, so it was great that she could come to work today at all.

He immediately walked over and said, "Manager Zheng, you're blocking my way!"

Seeing Su Chen, Zheng Aojiao instantly smiled.

She was annoyed because she hadn't seen Su Chen in two days, even thinking he had resigned. Yet her anger wasn't gone. Just right, she heard Wang Yue dared to help Su Chen with the Hongda project, so she took her anger out on the innocent girl.

She didn't expect Su Chen actually hadn't left but had come to face the music himself.

Immediately, with a cold smirk, she said: "Su Chen, I haven't even started on you yet, why haven't you been to work for two days?"

Su Chen naturally knew it was mostly because of him that Wang Yue got scolded, and said with an amused look: "Manager Zheng, which eye of yours saw that I didn't come to work?"

"Su Chen, you think the entire sales department is blind? Yesterday and this morning, you weren't at the company!" Zheng Aojiao huffed.

"Oh? Who said sales must be done at the office? I went to see a client, is that not allowed?" Su Chen replied with a smile.

"Seeing a client? You still have to report to the leadership, don't you even know that rule?"

"I've already reported to Director Qin, and Director Qin approved. Or does Director Qin's word not count, and only Zheng Aojiao's permission is accepted?" Su Chen said unabashedly, pulling rank.

It's a waste not to rely on higher-ups when you can.

"You, don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Aojiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva; as arrogant as she was, she didn't dare to be so towards Qin Keren.

"Fine, since you say you went for business, where's the business then? Did you close the deal?" Zheng Aojiao asked sternly.

"Isn't there still a day left?" Su Chen shrugged, anyway Guo Hong had already agreed to sign, and he was going to personally deliver the contract, so he wasn't worried at all.

"Alright, I'll see what you have to say tomorrow!" Zheng Aojiao decided to bide her time, and if Su Chen didn't secure the order tomorrow, she would have the righteous grounds to send Su Chen packing.

After Zheng Aojiao left, Su Chen noticed something wrong with Wang Yue.

Her face looked terrible, and she seemed unwell.

Probably due to drinking too much last night.

Immediately frowning, he asked, "Sister Yue, are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine, it's just... my head hurts a little..." Wang Yue shook her head, forcing herself to continue with the spreadsheet.

Su Chen felt very sorry for her, and said to Wang Yue, "Sister Yue, you should go home and rest for today."

"How can that be, I haven't finished the manager's spreadsheet yet... and this afternoon, we have to go sign the contract! Ah, it's all my fault for being unreliable, the order could have been signed, but I got drunk..." Wang Yue had blacked out last night, not even knowing that Su Chen had sent her home, she thought she went back by herself.

Su Chen shook his head; this naive innocent girl still naively thought Guo Hong would sign the contract with her.

"I'll handle the major business myself. You go home and rest for today!"

"But Manager..."

"It's fine. I'll just ask the director for some time off on your behalf later." Su Chen said.

"Haha, look at Su Chen, acting all high and mighty! You say Wang Yue can take time off, and the director just has to agree? Why not ask the director to give us all time off while you're at it?" Unbeknownst to them, the malicious Zheng Aojiao had returned. Hearing Su Chen's words, she immediately scoffed.

"What? Is the company not allowing leave now?" Su Chen frowned.

"Of course, the company allows for leave, but there are rules and regulations to follow. I think, since Wang Yue's health can't cope with the high intensity of work in our sales department, I suggest she resigns." Zheng Aojiao sneered coldly.

"I, I can do it," Wang Yue quickly said.

Speaking of rules and regulations, Su Chen suddenly felt amused and, ignoring Zheng Aojiao, sat back down at his seat.

However, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered to Yang Xuewei, who was sitting in front of him: "Sister Xuewei, not sure if you've seen the news about Fukang Company."

"What news?" Yang Xuewei asked quietly.

"Fukang Company, one of their employees died suddenly after being forced to work overtime..."

"Really?"

"Yes, it's true. The poor employee was not even thirty and was killed by unethical leaders. But that leader got what they deserved, took responsibility, and resigned."

The authentic version is on M|V|LEMPY_R.

Su Chen's voice was soft, but Zheng Aojiao wasn't deaf. She overheard and couldn't help but swallow uneasily as she glanced at the unwell Wang Yue.

"Actually, resigning isn't the worst part. The victim's family came knocking, demanding a life for a life. Some even brought sulfuric acid, threatening to throw it on the unethical leader. Scared her so much that she didn't dare to go out for months and nearly developed depression. She felt like someone was strangling her in her sleep, demanding her life..." Su Chen shook his head and sighed.

"Just focus on your work, why are you whispering to each other?" Zheng Aojiao couldn't hold back anymore and coughed, saying: "Well, Wang Yue, since you're not feeling well, you better go home and rest."

If Wang Yue were to die suddenly, she would be the manager held responsible.

Anyway, her main target was Su Chen. As for an insignificant intern, she didn't take her seriously.

"Manager, I... I'm fine..." Wang Yue continued to pretend she was strong.

"Sister Yue, the manager has given you the day off, are you deliberately being disrespectful?" Su Chen quickly hooked Wang Yue's Hello Kitty bag around her neck.

"Su Chen, I'm really fine." This time, the little white flower refused to listen to persuasion.

Su Chen immediately grabbed her hand and tried to lead her out.

"Su Chen, what are you doing?"

"Sister Yue, didn't you agree to help me with the major business? Let's go meet the clients now!" Su Chen said earnestly.

"Now..." Wang Yue felt awkward, especially because she hadn't completed the tasks the manager had given her, and walking out in front of the manager seemed really disrespectful.

"Wang Yue, you don't need to work on the forms anymore. Do whatever you want." Then, unexpectedly, Zheng Aojiao spoke up very understandingly.

Of course, she wasn't being understanding. It was just that if it was Su Chen who took Wang Yue away, and anything happened to her, it would have nothing to do with her.
