BXBX NOVEL Chapter 840: Directly Fired?
Originally, according to the normal circumstances, Connor and Quenna could have neatly arranged those documents.
Because it was still ten minutes before ten o’clock in the morning.
Although there were indeed quite a few documents, ten minutes would have been enough for them to arrange the documents properly.
However, what they never expected was that the shareholders attending the shareholders’ meeting would arrive so early.
Moreover, he could sense that these shareholders were extremely displeased with what she was doing at the moment.
But in fact, he knew that it wasn’t solely her fault.
After all, their secretary department assigned her alone to print so many documents, and they even added an additional file in the middle. This workload was simply impossible for her to complete.
Not to mention Quenna alone, even if he joined her, the two of them could only try to finish arranging the files before ten o’clock.
If it were just her alone, even if she worked herself to exhaustion, she wouldn’t be able to finish.
“I didn’t expect the shareholders in Thomas’s company to have limited capabilities but such an attitude…”
Connor couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that most of the affairs of Empire World Corporation were managed by Thomas alone, and these shareholders would rarely come to the company apart from attending the shareholders’ meeting!
Meanwhile, Quenna stood foolishly in place, her face showing extreme nervousness because she didn’t know what these shareholders were planning to do next!
“Which department do you belong to?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to her and coldly asked her.
“The Secretary Department…” Quenna replied softly.
“Good, so this is how the people in the Secretary Department work, right? The meeting is about to start, and you haven’t even prepared the documents. I’m going to call your department manager right now and let him see how to handle this matter properly!”
The middle-aged man shouted with a stern face, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
…
Quenna stood in place, her expression filled with despair.
Because she never expected that these shareholders would be so temperamental, to the point of calling her manager directly.
“Hello, is this Miss Carver from the Secretary Department? I’m Clyde Zink. Come to the meeting room now, quickly…”
The middle-aged man shouted into the phone with a blank expression, then hung up directly.
After hearing these words from the middle-aged man, Quenna widened her eyes in an instant, her expression filled with fear.
Because she didn’t expect that the middle-aged man standing in front of her right now was actually Clyde!
Although she hadn’t been at the company for long, she had heard about Clyde’s position. It was said that he had a very good relationship with Thomas, and he held three percent of the shares of Empire World Corporation. He was known to have the worst temper among all the shareholders. If the employees were to know that Clyde was coming to the company, they would do everything possible to hide and avoid being seen by him.
He was extremely strict. There was a time when he directly fired a receptionist just because she didn’t wear the uniform provided by the company.
The receptionist was fired simply because she didn’t wear the uniform, and now Quenna had made such a big mistake. The consequences were self-evident.
Hence, her expression began to turn nervous. Back then, in order to work at the Empire World Corporation, she had to pull countless strings and spend a lot of money on her parents. If she was really fired because of this mistake, she would be very unwilling!
Meanwhile, he had been arranging the documents and had not said a word from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he wanted to see how Clyde planned to deal with Quenna.
“What are you still doing? Hurry up and arrange the documents. We’ll talk about this when your department manager comes over!”
Clyde shouted at Quenna expressionlessly.
She was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly continued to arrange the documents.
But it can be seen that her expression at this moment was extremely unpleasant, and she has already guessed what awaits her.
Five minutes later, Connor and Quenna arranged all the documents.
Quenna sighed helplessly and murmured, “If only I had come five minutes earlier…”
“Quenna, today’s incident is not your fault. It’s unfair for you to handle so much work alone. I can vouch for you!” Connor consoled Quenna in a soft voice.
Quenna looked at Connor with a helpless expression and said lightly, “What difference does it make even if you vouch for me? Mr. Clyde is not easy to deal with. He might just fire me directly…”
“Fire you directly?”
Connor was stunned for a moment upon hearing Quenna’s words, and then furrowed his brow and asked, “You haven’t done anything wrong, so why would they fire you just because of this? Don’t they have any sense of reason in their actions?”
“Reason?”
Quenna shook her head helplessly and whispered, “He is a shareholder of the company. How could he bother explaining things to us small employees? If he doesn’t like you, he can find any excuse to fire you, and there’s nothing you can do about it…”
“Does the company have such situations?”
Connor turned to Quenna, looking at her with concern, and asked softly.
“There are plenty of such situations. Although these shareholders don’t hold any positions in the company, they have a good relationship with Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas wouldn’t offend them over such trivial matters…”
Quenna said in a tone of despair.
“It seems I came at the right time. If I hadn’t come earlier, I would never have known that such a situation exists in the company!”
Connor sighed softly.
“What are you talking about, Connor?”
Quenna asked in a puzzled tone.
“It’s nothing…”
Connor shook his head gently.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a black suit rushed into the meeting room, panting, and asked Clyde, “Mr. Clyde, what’s wrong? Did something go wrong with the documents we prepared?”
“The documents are not the problem, but these two people are!”
Clyde replied expressionlessly.
“People are the problem?”
Miss Carver instinctively turned his head and glanced at Quenna, then asked in a puzzled tone, “Mr. Clyde, what’s going on?”
“The shareholders’ meeting is about to start, but these two employees from your department haven’t even prepared the documents for the meeting. Fortunately, Mr. Connor didn’t come early today. If he had seen these two people arranging the files here, what do you think would have happened?”
Clyde shouted angrily, his eyes wide open.
