Lu Sisi saw her showing fear, grabbed her hand, and slapped her cheek.
The slap landed, and red finger marks appeared on both cheeks.
Wu Fang opened her mouth wide, standing in a daze, watching the frantic Lu Sisi.
"Crazy!"
Ignoring her address, Lu Sisi, with a red slap mark on her cheek, walked out of the cleaning department.
"Sister Wu, she wouldn't go to complain, would she!" her companion reminded her tremblingly.
Wu Fang felt uneasy. It was her fault first, but Lu Sisi was the one who hit her. If the matter escalated to Di Mingjue, she would surely be punished.
Glancing at the corridor outside the door, Wu Fang picked up her legs and hurried out.
Her companion stood still, muttering incessantly.
The elevator went all the way to the top floor. Wu Fang stood in front of the trash can, repeatedly rehearsing her explanation.
As she turned around, she was startled by Shen Lin, who had appeared behind her at some point.
"You..."
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Lin looked her up and down.
She had no tools with her, suggesting she wasn't working.
Feeling the pressure, Wu Fang trembled and stated her purpose, "I want to see President Di. I have something to tell him."
Since she was bound to be punished anyway, she wanted to take control of the situation. She didn't want to wait for Di Mingjue to find her, which would put her in a passive position.
Wu Fang was an old employee of the company, and her interpersonal skills were not to be underestimated.
Seeing her anxious expression, Shen Lin agreed to report her presence.
"You want to talk to me?"
After Shen Lin reported her, Wu Fang was led to the office by him.
Seeing her attire, Jiang Ziyu guessed the content of her speech.
"President Di, I'm here to accept my punishment."
Wu Fang's words aroused the curiosity of everyone present.
"I had a dispute with Miss Lu over work just now, and I accidentally hit her. The first slap was indeed impulsive, but the second slap was because she grabbed my hand and slapped herself. Although I don't know what she meant, it was indeed wrong for me to hit someone, and I won't complain about being punished."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu had to admit that everyone in Di Jue Company, from the president to the cleaners, was intelligent and strategic.
After hearing this, Di Mingjue asked only one question, "What did you argue about?"
"She was sitting there not working. I assigned her work, and she refused to do it," Wu Fang stated truthfully.
"Alright, I understand. You can go back to work now."
The absence of any punishment shocked Wu Fang. However, she was not foolish enough to ask for clarification and simply nodded and left obediently.
After she left, Di Mingjue instructed Shen Lin to retrieve the surveillance footage from the cleaning department and also went to the human resources department to propose a promotion for Wu Fang.
Because of a quarrel, Wu Fang escaped punishment and received an opportunity for promotion, becoming the head of the cleaning department.
This fortunate turn of events also made many people realize that although Lu Sisi was brought in by Di Mingjue, she was treated like everyone else; when she made mistakes, she did not receive special favoritism from Di Mingjue.
Lu Sisi was unaware of the company's affairs. She was returning to the Di residence in a taxi, feeling wronged.
...
Night fell early. As the streetlights flickered on, Di Mingjue and Jiang Ziyu returned to the Di residence after having dinner out.
During dinner, Di Mingjue's phone rang incessantly, all calls coming from Di Jianhan and the landline at the Di residence.
The car stopped by the roadside. Shen Lin got out and opened the rear door. Jiang Ziyu waited by the car for Di Mingjue and helped him walk inside.
"It's getting late. You should go. I'll push him in," Jiang Ziyu said, taking the wheelchair.
Shen Lin glanced at Di Mingjue. After receiving his permission, he dared to get into the car and drive away.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the glass door of the front hall was opened. The housekeeper came out and hurried to greet them.
