The beep of the dial tone echoed, and on the other end, Xu Bilian slammed the phone down in rage. The loud crash startled everyone in the office.

“Xu Bilian! Why do you damage public property? If you’ve got personal issues, deal with them privately. Don’t bring a bad attitude to work!” 

The manager snapped angrily.

Xu Bilian stormed off, with a face darker than thunder, without a word of explanation.

The manager’s expression grew even darker. He was already at the end of his tolerance with this new employee, who was always late, lazy, rude, and without any remorse. 

Just a few days ago, she had even gotten into an argument with a customer.

If not for someone higher up pulling strings for her, he would’ve fired her long ago.

Half an hour later, Xu Bilian returned and said coldly,

“Manager, I need a leave!”

She had to return to Shanghai immediately. Gu Jianshe, that heartless bastard, clearly hadn’t been taught a lesson. 

She had to go back and give him a warning. She couldn’t even wait one more day.

“Why are you asking for leave?” 

The manager’s tone was just as unpleasant. She had only been on the job for a week and had already asked for leave twice. 

And now she wants to leave again? If every employee acted like Xu Bilian, how was he supposed to manage everything?

“There’s something going on at home. I need three days.” 

Xu Bilian said casually, making up an excuse without a second thought.

Back when she worked in Shanghai, she could take leave whenever she wanted. Her manager there was also easygoing. 

But this one? This new manager was so dumb that he couldn’t even read the room.

“What kind of matter? Even bereavement leave is only a day. You’re asking for three right off the bat? Xu Bilian, are you here to work or on vacation? Request denied. Get back to work!” the manager barked angrily.

“I said, I’ve got something going on at home, and I’m taking leave whether you agree or not!” 

Xu Bilian had lost her temper too. She turned around and stormed off. Whether they approved it or not, she was heading back to Shanghai today.

“This is an unexcused absence. I can fire you for that. Xu Bilian, think it through!” The manager was practically furious. 

No rules, no discipline! Employees like her were like rats in the grain bin, toxic wherever they went.

Xu Bilian left without hesitation. She didn’t believe the manager had the guts to fire her. After all, she was the granddaughter of the He family.

“Unbelievable!” The manager fumed. 

He was so angry he could barely speak. But he made up his mind. 

This time, Xu Bilian had to be taught a lesson. If she dared to skip work for three days, he would fire her without mercy.

No negotiations!

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao was in a great mood. Her happiness today was all thanks to Xu Bilian. The more furious that b*tch got, the happier she felt. 

Glancing at her watch, she saw it wasn’t even nine yet. 

Since there was nothing to do at home, Chu Qiao decided to head to the suburbs to look for gear factories, maybe she could help Gu Ye out.  

The streets of Shanghai were lined with osmanthus trees, and this was the season when golden blooms filled the air with their sweet fragrance. 

The pleasant scent lifted her mood even more as she pedaled leisurely toward an industrial district. 

The area was a bit desolate, there were just a handful of factories scattered around.

One was a pharmaceutical factory. Two were garment factories. Then there were two bearing factories and two auto parts manufacturers. 

Chu Qiao’s eyes lit up, four of them fit what she was looking for!

She first visited the auto parts factories. One of them looked like a small, older operation, but the other one was much larger. 

Its facility looked newer, with stacks of cement blocks piled up, likely still under construction or recently expanded.

Chu Qiao became even more excited. This had to be a new factory, which meant they’d likely be purchasing lots of new equipment!

If she could connect with the boss here, it would be perfect.

Chu Qiao lingered at the front gate, pacing back and forth but too nervous to go in. 

There was no gatekeeper in sight, and the iron gates were closed tight. 

Two large, fierce-looking German shepherds were behind the fence, panting and drooling, their eyes locked on her.

She didn’t dare get close, afraid they might bite.
