Chapter 15
1150 Words
I returned to work at Four Seas Travel Agency.
Hai Xia wore a comforting expression on her face at my return, Ye Mei was even happier, while Lin Zhixiong didn't hide his confusion, he didn't know what tactics I had used to make Mai Su revoke his decision to fire me.
Of course, I knew that Lin Zhixiong would eventually find out, he could ask his cousin Xiao Feng.
The next day, Mai Ping came back.
I was called to Mai Ping's general manager's office just after I got to work.
This was the first time I met Mai Su's sister, Mai Ping.
Mai Ping looked about the same age as me, and was also very pretty, but her temperament and aura was more than a notch below that of Mai Su.
"Hello, Mr. Mai!" I stood up straight and greeted Mai Ping.
Mai Ping sat in front of the boss's desk, looked me up and down, half a day, and then hemmed and hawed and laughed: "You're the new salesman Chu Tian?"
"Yes, General Manager Mai." I replied.
"Are you the Chu Tian who injured my brother, Mai Yong?" Mai Ping asked again.
"Yes, General Manager Mai."
"You're the Chu Tian who got my sister Mai Su fired and reinstated?" Mai Ping continued to ask.
"Yes, General Manager Mai."
"How come you can only answer these four words? There's no innovation at all!" Mai Ping frowned.
I froze and looked at Mai Ping, "How do I have to answer that to be innovative? Ms. Mai."
Mai Ping: "How can you ask me this? You have to ask yourself that."
I said, "I don't know, Mr. Mai."
Mai Ping: "Chu Tian, the name is very loud, people are also handsome, can do business, but also fights, both martial arts."
I don't know whether Mai Ping's comment is positive or negative, I didn't say anything for a while.
Mai Ping looked at me with interest and said, "Do you think you are right to fight Mai Yong?"
I hesitated, "Yes."
"Why right?"
"Because your brother bullied Mr. Hai."
"Eh ......" Mai Ping nodded, "Then let me ask you again, do you think I will agree with you?"
I couldn't guess what kind of drugs Mai Ping was selling, so I nodded, "I would."
"Why?" McPhee asked immediately afterward.
"Because I believe that Mai always upholds justice to preside over justice." I replied.
"Why do you believe that?" Mai Ping said.
"Intuition!" I replied.
"Hehehe ......" Mai Ping laughed happily, "Good, you have good intuition, I like you for that."
I sighed in relief and looked at Mai Ping.
Mai Ping then said, "Chu Tian, good, good beating, I support you to beat up Mai Yong, this hateful Mai Yong, even hit my assistant Hai Xia's bad idea, it is really too abominable, I think you beat up too light, at least let him a few months can not get up in bed to be good!"
I was a bit dazed, staring blankly at Mai Ping, unable to guess whether her words were positive or negative.
"What? Am I wrong?" Mai Ping said.
I nodded, "Yes, yes, Mr. Mai is right."
"Since I'm right, I'll take you to the hospital now, and you'll beat up Mai Yong again so hard that he'll be lying in a hospital bed for months, okay?" Mai Ping said.
I quickly waved my hand, "No good."
Mai Ping pouted: "Why is it bad again?"
I thought for a moment, "Let's forgive people where we can."
Mai Ping laughed: "Come on Chu Tian, I think you are afraid of being expelled again, right? Hey, hey, okay, I won't tease you, anyway, I support you to beat up Mai Yong, he should have been beaten up a long time ago, messing with my Hai Xia's old boss, that's not bad, isn't it bullying my Four Seas Travel Agency? In this way, in order to recognize your heroic behavior, I will give you a bonus ......" Said Mai Ping, took out a bulging envelope from the drawer and put it on the table, "This is ten thousand yuan, for you, take it."
I stood there without moving or reaching out.
"Huh, why don't you take it?" Mai Ping was a bit strange.
"No merit, no reward." I replied.
What I actually thought in my heart was that if I took this bravery bonus from Mai Ping, it would be like adding fuel to my future relationship with Mai Yong, and would cause even more trouble.
I don't want to mess with Mai Yong again, I can't afford it.
"How is there no merit? You protected my deputy Hai Xia, isn't that merit? Here, take it!" Mai Ping said.
"Don't, Hai always is my superior, protecting Hai always is what I should do, this is not credit." I replied dryly.
"Huh?" Mai Ping looked at me with some strange eyes, "There really is a person who doesn't see money, tsk ...... well, just now I lied to you, this money is not from me, it's my sister Mai Su who gave it to you."
I froze.
"This is Chairman Mai sent you condolences in his personal name, this nominal money you should take, right?" Mai Ping said smugly.
I looked at Mai Ping, "Is what Chairman Mai said true?"
"It's true." Mai Ping said seriously.
I was surprised, what does it mean for Mai Su to send me condolence money in her personal name? Wasn't this clearly a disguised compensation for the ten thousand dollars of salary I had just lost? Obviously, Mai Su neither wanted to completely vindicate me but also wanted to use this ten thousand dollars to block my mouth, to find their own inner balance.
When I think of Mai Su's disgusted and loathsome demeanor when he faced me, I instantly felt the humiliation of being fooled and having my self-esteem hurt.
I'm poor, but also to be poor with ambition, I do not accept you this alms, starve to death also do not eat this contemptuous food.
Thinking of this, I said word for word to Mai Ping: "Please Mai General Manager to tell Chairman Mai, this money, I - do not - want!" Mai Ping looked at me blankly: "Why? You, look at you, why are you so stubborn? Do you have a grudge against money or what?"
I said, "I have no grudge against money, on the contrary, I love money immensely, but I won't want this kind of money! I rely on my own hands to earn money with my own labor, so I feel at ease with this kind of money, spend it freely! This money, please return it to Chairman Mai, and at the same time express my gratitude to her on my behalf."
After saying that, I glanced at the stunned Mai Ping, head high out of Mai Ping's office.
