Chapter 367 Emotional Disharmony

In Bai Chuchu's impression, Cheng Che has always been gentle and friendly to others. Although he is nearly 40 years old, he is still handsome and young. He can be called a conscientious capitalist when it comes to treating his employees. In addition, his status as a Winter Olympic champion also made him a legend within the group.

As a newcomer who had just passed the probation period, she was sent to the headquarters in Munich, Germany to become his office secretary. Not only did she find it unbelievable, but even her colleagues around her were envious.

After arriving in Munich, Cheng Che rarely came to the company. He did not require employees to clock in. The few times he came, he always smiled. Many times, Bai Chuchu found that she would blush even when talking to him. But Cheng Che would always smile and say easily, "Don't be nervous."

At first, Bai Chuchu also remembered the advice of her predecessors. Although Mr. Cheng was handsome, rich, and gentle, she should not seduce him or she would die miserably. However, as time went on, she saw Cheng Che's smile and the rumors that Mr. Cheng and his wife were not in a good relationship. She could not help but want to get closer to him, imagining that she could reach the top in one step.

But that night, when she received Cheng Che's call, before she could suppress the upward curve of her lips and greet him as calmly as possible, Cheng Che's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "Secretary Bai, thank you for helping me take care of Astrid today. I will pay you according to overtime. I also know what you said to Astrid today. Remember to go to HR to complete the resignation procedures after work tomorrow morning."

"Mr. Cheng..." Bai Chuchu was a little overwhelmed and defended herself, "Mr. Cheng, you misunderstood, I was just joking with the young lady, I..."

However, before she could finish, Cheng Che had already hung up the phone. She was so scared that she almost dropped her phone on the ground. She sent a WeChat message to Cheng Che's assistant and asked, "Sister Sylvia, have you ever seen Mr. Cheng get angry? Is he scary when he's angry?"

[I haven't seen it.] Sylvia's tone was obviously a little impatient, but also a little gossipy, [But I heard from Mr. He from the Legal Department that she saw Mr. Cheng quarreling with Mr. Cheng, and it was completely different from his usual behavior. What's wrong, you are so powerful that you even pissed off Mr. Cheng?]

Bai Chuchu did not reply to her. She just sighed and looked at the dark night outside the window and the text message about overdue credit card in her mobile phone, hoping that Cheng Che was just speaking in anger.

The next morning, Bai Chuchu came to work as usual and asked Sylvia in a low voice, "Is Mr. Cheng here?"

"No." Sylvia said while handling work, "Mr. Cheng's daughter was injured and hospitalized. Mr. Cheng must have to accompany his daughter these days. He is such a daughter slave."

Bai Chuchu said "Oh", nodded, and said to Sylvia, "Boss Cheng's daughter is quite pitiful. She is so young and she fell off a horse and got hurt so badly. Her mother is not around."

"Big sister, are you so idle because you don't have a job?" Sylvia said unhappily, "Our combined annual salary is not enough to pay for Miss's two-month equestrian lessons. Are you crazy to be here feeling sorry for the capitalist's daughter?"

"Sister, are you jealous of the rich?" Bai Chuchu was also a little speechless, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that Astrid didn't have a mother to take care of her..."

"So what's it got to do with you?"

Sylvia typed as she spoke, "I just sent you a document. Since you're so free, please help me translate it into German. Professor Iseylia doesn't care much about her family, but Mr. Cheng does. Isn't he the one who takes care of the children? Besides, if it were me, I would wish my mother would pursue her own career instead of being a housewife. Men should take care of the children. Don't worry about it. Workers shouldn't feel sorry for capitalists."

After a while, Sylvia received a call and responded: "Okay, Mr. Cheng, I understand. You will go to Los Angeles tomorrow, and then you may return to Munich in two months, right? Okay, don't worry, I will follow up on the ModaMingle case with Mr. Hofman. If there is anything important, I will contact you by email."

She said a few more words about work, then suddenly looked up at Bai Chuchu and said hesitantly, "Secretary Bai? She is indeed still in the company. OK, I understand. I will convey this to her now."

After hanging up the phone, Sylvia knocked on Bai Chuchu's desk and said, "Boss Cheng asked me if you have completed the resignation procedures. If not, go and complete it now. He has already told HR that he will pay you two months' salary as compensation. But if you don't complete the resignation procedures before the end of get off work today, he will fire you. Not only will he not give you any compensation, but he will also personally write down the reason for your dismissal in the resignation report."

"Sister Sylvia..." Bai Chuchu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Sylvia pitifully and begged, "Can you help me ask for mercy from Mr. Cheng? Or, don't you have a good relationship with the Second Young Master? Can you help me ask for mercy? I will definitely thank you very much."

"No." Sylvia had been Cheng Che's assistant for many years and had never seen him angry, nor had she seen him fire anyone so decisively. She guessed what was going on and said indifferently, "Xiao Bai, on your first day at the company, I reminded you not to have those messy and crooked thoughts. You despise yourself, so don't blame others for being ruthless. Go and handle the formalities quickly. If you go now, you can get two months' salary compensation, and it won't be difficult to find another job later."

Bai Chuchu was a little bit incredulous after hearing her words, and said to herself: "It's impossible... Isn't it said that Mr. Cheng and his wife are not in harmony..."

"Huh?" Sylvia seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Who told you this gossip? Everyone knows that Mr. Cheng loves his wife the most, and then his daughter. When he was an athlete, he often cue professors during interviews.

Also, Mr. Cheng called me just now and told me that he would accompany the professor on a business trip to the United States and then go to Japan for vacation, so he asked me and Vice President Hofman to be in charge of the case together. Even if Mr. Cheng and the professor really have a bad relationship, it is not a reason for you to be a mistress. "

"I didn't..." Bai Chuchu denied in a low voice, "I just thought... Besides, isn't Mr. Cheng's wife just well-educated? Who in our company has poor academic qualifications?"

"Professor Iseylia's mother is Lucille, the big boss of LK, Lucille Wen. Do you think she married Mr. Cheng just because of her looks and education? If you must say it, it's Mr. Cheng who is marrying up." Sylvia was a little impatient and didn't want to waste any more words with her. "Go and complete the resignation procedures. I still have to work. If you don't want to resign voluntarily, I will also help you tell Mr. Cheng."

At this point, Bai Chuchu had no choice but to go through the resignation procedures. When she left the HR department, she happened to meet He Jiao, the director of the Legal Department. She also knew what happened and sighed, "Xiao Bai, you are really ruining your future. You have a good education and strong work ability, so why bother? Forget it, just take it as a lesson and don't make such a mistake again in the future."

"I see. Thank you, Director He."

On the plane to Los Angeles, Wen Song played Monopoly with Astrid while half-jokingly saying to Cheng Che, "I heard from Sylvia a few days ago that someone in your company was saying that you and I were not getting along. How could this be? Could it be that you said that on purpose?"

"How is that possible!" Cheng Che denied, while putting his arm around Wen Song's shoulders and kissing her again, "It should be the employees' blind guesses, because my dear, you really never come to the company to find me, and you never attend our dinners or anything like that. I am always alone, so they misunderstood... Baby, can you go with me once in the future?"

"No." Wen Song smiled, hugged his neck and said, "You know, I get annoyed when I see people."

"I know~" Cheng Che rubbed her head, "Then I'll post more pictures of us on Instagram and Moments in the future, okay? Or I won't go either, and I'll say I want to stay home with my wife. But I told Sylvia yesterday that I'll go on a business trip to the United States with you, and after that, no one will say that we're not getting along."

Astrid listened to their conversation and said in confusion: "Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? Mom, you just stepped on my land!! You should give me 2500!"

"2500?!" Wen Song pretended to be surprised and said pitifully, "What should I do? Mom doesn't have that much money. Can I ask Dad to pay for me?"

"No!" Astrid was very "iron-faced and impartial", "Mom, you can sell your land, just sell it to me."

Cheng Che also smiled and helped Wen Song to plead with Astrid, "Baby, Mom is so busy at work, and she went back to Munich just for you. Can you please give her some leniency this time? Dad will give you 5000, okay?"

"Hmm..." Astrid thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then..."
