Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 50

Mu Tongrui knew that Fu Lingye would not believe her no matter how she explained herself so she had prepared for the worst. She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Fu, since the losses were made by me, I'll let you decide my fate in the company.”

Fu Lingye's eyes sank and he said with a smirk, “A total loss of three-hundred million in local currency. I don't think you can cover the compensation even if you sell yourself.”

Three-hundred million... Perhaps she could not even pay back a fraction of it. If the company wanted her to compensate three-hundred million, they might as well send her to jail.

Mu Tongrui harden her heart and said with her lips pursed, “Since I've made such a huge mistake, why don't you, Mr. Fu, dismiss me?”

It was obviously impossible for her to cover the losses. Although this incident was framed by Xiang Nanqian, it was still her that had committed the mistake. It seemed that the chances for her to stay in Fu Corporation was slim.”

After giving such a thought, Mu Tongrui breathed a sigh of relief. If she got dismissed by Fu Lingye, she would need to leave Fu Corporation and no long need to deal with Xiang Nanqian who despised her and always made her life difficult.

“The losses had already incurred and if I was to dismiss you, the damage to the company will be greater. Mu Tongrui, do you think I'll be fooled by you?”

The voice of the man, who was sitting at the executive chair, did not show any emotion. However, the cold deep voice made her shiver.

He looked at her with a gloomy and icy cold gaze.

“But the agreement was indeed mistakenly translated by me. If you don't dismiss me, it'll be hard to shut people's mouth up in Fu Corporation...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Lingye mocked her and said, “Are you saying that you're thinking of my interest?”

This woman, might not know much, but she was definitely getting better at upsetting others.

“I'm doing this for...” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Get out.”

Mu Tongrui stood in the room with her mouth opened and stunned for a few seconds before she walked out of the CEO's office.

......

She went back to the Creative Department unhappily and once she arrived, Xiang Nanqian summoned Mu Tongrui to her office.

“Why did Mr. Fu look for you?”

Mu Tongrui looked at her amusingly and said, “Ms. Xiang, you should know the reason. There're only the two of us here so you don't have to pretend to be innocent. I've translated the contract value as fifty million but I suppose that you had changed the number, am I correct?”

Xiang Nanqian pursed her red lips, stood up, and walked to the side of Mu Tongrui in her high heels. She whispered in the latter's ears, “So what if it was me? I suppose you would have gotten quite a bit of scolding from Lingye just now.”

“Even if the contract was wrongly translated by me, but you had circumvented the Legal Department and the Translation Department and assigned the translation task to me directly. You would need to bear some responsibilities too. Furthermore, you're my direct supervisor and your liability should be greater.”

Xiang Nanqian chuckled and did not even bother about her comments. She said, “So what if I've circumvented two departments? Why are you telling me this? Do you think Lingye doesn't know about this? He would have known the process but he would just blame you and not me. Let me give you a piece of advice. Why don't you just tender your resignation? I'll agree to let you go.”

Mu Tongrui clenched her fist, stared at Xiang Nanqian's smug look coldly and said, “Is it because of jealously that you need to target me both publicly and privately?”

“Jealously?” Xiang Nanqian chuckled in disdain, crossed her arms, looked at her and said, “Do you think I need to be jealous of you? Mu Tongrui, the most unpleasing thing to me is that you get to stay beside Lingye as of right without doing anything. But you need to know that the person in his heart will only be me and always be me.”

Mu Tongrui smiled broadly and relaxingly and then said, “Ms. Xiang, you're right in saying this. I don't have to do anything and I can stand beside Fu Lingye. Even if I've left Fu Lingye, I'll still be Mrs. Fu. I'll submit my resignation letter to you before the day ends. Coincidentally, I also don't want to stay here anymore.”

“You!”

Xiang Nanqian's face turned blue and Mu Tongrui turned her back and left the office.

“Mu Tongrui, you better watch out. Not only I'll kick you out of Fu Corporation, I'll also kick you out of the Fu family!”

......

Mu Tongrui sat at her desk and began to type a document with the first few words, LETTER OF RESIGNATION.

“Are you planning to resign?”

The voice of Ye Zibo was heard from her back and shocked her. She said, “Why did you suddenly appear behind me? You almost scared me to death!”

Ye Zibo anxiously asked, “Please don't do so otherwise there's no reason for me to be here at Fu Corporation.”

Ye Zibo paid a hefty price before getting himself a job at Fu Corporation. Although it was a career in the art and creative sector, the main purpose of him entering Fu Corporation was Mu Tongrui's presence.

“How is my resignation got to do with your existence here.”

“Hmm... Then I'll get more bored of my job. When you're around, we can still have lunch together. But once you leave, I'll not have a lunch buddy anymore.”

Mu Tongrui pursed her lips and said with a smile, “There are many girls in this Creative Department who would want to have lunch with you after I leave.”

This company was really unsuitable for her. Not only Xiang Nanqian ignored her, the whole Creative Department other than Ye Zibo also ignored her. Instead of facing all her enemies in this company, she might as work in another company until her retirement.

Mu Tongrui spent the entire afternoon thinking whether she should resign from the company and eventually printed out the resignation letter.

......

At 2:00P.M., Xiang Nanqian walked into Fu Lingye's office.

Once she entered the office, she said with a smile, “Lingye, shall we go to Xiaohan's school now? The parent-child activity class will be starting in 30 minutes.”

But Fu Lingye did not seem to have the intention to leave. He was looking at his notebook to settle some official matter and said coldly, “I still have some outstanding work. Why don't you go first? I'll be there punctually.”

Xiang Nanqian pursed her lips as he did not seem to have interest to go together with her.

“Lingye, are you still mad at me?”

Was it because of the matter last night? Or was it because ......Mu Tongrui's mistake in the agreement?

When she saw that the man kept quiet and continued to focus on his work, Xiang Nanqian explained, “Mu Tongrui just joined Fu Corporation not long ago and she had already made a translation mistake, which resulted a great loss. Since she works directly under me, I know that you'll be very upset. So, I plan to...dismiss Mu Tongrui so that she wouldn't be making such mistake again. Lingye...what do you think?”

The man, who had his lengthy fingers on his notebook keypad, suddenly stopped typing. He did not raise his head and just said lightly, “Mu Tongrui is not the only person at fault on this matter.”

Xiang Nanqian's heart trembled while the man slowly continued, “As her direct supervisor, you should've known that the contract would need to go through the Legal Department and the Translation Department. But yet you personally passed the translation task to a newbie. Ms. Xiang, if I were to agree with the departure of Mu Tongrui, you would need to share the responsibility too.”

“Lingye, are you saying that the responsibility is on me and not Mu Tongrui?”

The man raised his head, stared at her with his clear black eyes and then said, “Don't you think so?”

“But the contract was indeed translated by Mu Tongrui. This was something clear to everyone and that she had caused the company to lose forty-five million. If we do not dismiss her, wouldn't everyone think that they can simply make a mistake?”
