Chapter 124: 124, please, help me
With that, Zhao Jinping made her exit from the finance department before anyone else.
Song Qinghuan was livid, glaring at her retreating figure until it was out of sight.
She turned her gaze towards Li Wei and apologized, “I am sorry. Don’t be upset, okay?”
Li Wei, who had been looking down all this while, finally met Song Qinghuan’s eyes, tears streaming down her face, “I’m not angry. What do you have to apologize for, it’s her who wanted me out in the first place. What happened today was just an excuse. Even without your incident, she would have found another reason to kick me out.”
Song Qinghuan held her hand, at a loss for words, “Li Wei.”
Li Wei sobbed softly, “I know, I’m stupid, but, Qinghuan, I don’t want to leave the company, I want to stay. I know you have a good relationship with the general manager, could you maybe ask him to not fire me? I promise I’ll work hard in the future!”
The sudden plea took Song Qinghuan aback, “This… I…”
Li Wei reached out and hugged her, like a drowning person grasping for a life ring, “I really don’t want to leave the company, I have to stay here. Qinghuan, I beg of you, please help me!”
The weeping, pleading Li Wei stirred an unidentifiable sour feeling in Song Qinghuan.
She wanted to assist Li Wei, after all, had it not been for her ulterior motive of helping Li Wei to secure a position in the finance department, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
However, her relationship with Shi Annuo was not as they imagined it to be. She herself was in a precarious situation, how could she possibly help others?
Just as Song Qinghuan was at a loss regarding what to do next, her phone that was in her bag began to ring.
Gently pushing Li Wei away, she pulled out her phone to see a call from Zhao Jingnan.
She seemed to already know what it was about. The expression on Song Qinghuan’s face when she answered the phone was as if she was heading to the guillotine.
Before she could utter a word, Zhao Jingnan burst out, “Be in my office within three minutes.”
With that, he hung up leaving a resounding ‘click’ on the line.
Li Wei, who was wiping her tears, asked, “Was it your general manager?”
She gave a nod in reply, “Yes.”
Li Wei continued, “Our director must have gone to him. You should be okay, right?”
Song Qinghuan gave a shake of her head, “I don’t know, but I am going to find out. I will do as much as I can to help you.”
Not to mention that Li Wei didn’t want to go, Song Qinghuan herself didn’t want her to leave, either.
Li Wei was the only subordinate her brother still had left in the company. Certain matters, she must know or understand. Otherwise during lunch, she wouldn’t have defended her brother, only to abruptly stop, as if she was scared of something.
