Chapter 82 Coming Cross An Acquaintance During Recruitment
Autumn said angrily, “If I was not Mrs. Lu and didn’t know Sam, then I wouldn’t have been able to escape from Mr. Song that night, right?”
“Well……” Linda kept silent. “Of course, I would not let you go if you were not Mrs. Lu.” Linda thought.
“Why are you silent? Don’t you have your answer?” Autumn went on with a sneer, “I have nothing to talk with you, you vicious woman. I have a lot of work to do. Please move aside.”
With a pile of documents in hand, Autumn stood up and walked out. She stepped inside Charles’s office and knocked the door.
“Come in.” Charles’s voice came from inside. Picking up the signed papers, David turned to Charles and said, “Mr. Lu, I’ll be right outside.”
“Okay. Go ahead.” Charles put the pen cap back and asked Autumn standing in front of him, “What brings you here?”
“I have something to talk to you about.” Sensing her seriousness, Charles nodded. He made her sit down beside him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Autumn hesitated for a second and then continued, “Charles, you asked me to work here because you want me to help you. But after working here the whole day, I can’t do anything else for you. So after giving it a lot of thought, I have decided to resign. And I hope that you can agree with me.”
“Resign? But why?” Charles was shocked by her words. He thought that she came here to talk about Linda and he was even prepared to comfort her. “Can you tell me your reason? Are you not satisfied with your salary?”
“No. I have said this earlier also that I am not fit to work here.” Her work was simple, but things were more complicated than she expected. It was not easy to be his secretary at all.
Take Linda for example. Though she was not of good moral standing, she was a capable secretary. She was good at closing contracts and she also knew how to cope with business engagements.
But things were different for Autumn. What were her capabilities?
“Charles, I know you asked me to work here for my own good, but I have taken careful consideration. It is not a good idea for me to work here. I am not used to this job. And I am sure you also know that I can’t handle it. So after much consideration, I have decided to resign.” Autumn smiled and added, “Do you remember? That one time when I told you that I wanted to take a break? Well, I have selected a good place for myself. It’s Z City. I will find a job when I come back. As for Linda……”
Autumn hesitated for a while at the thought of Linda. Though she really hated her annoying conduct, Autumn had to admit that she was competent at work. Autumn knew that Charles would be busy with his work after her resignation, so she wanted to persuade Charles not to fire Linda.
“Even though Linda went too far that day, fortunately she didn’t go further to make serious mistakes. And I am sure that David would be busy after my resignation, so you’d better not to fire Linda. She is a capable woman and she can help you with your work. Or you can think about firing her after you find the right person to replace her. What do you think?” Autumn asked for Charles’s opinion.
Charles was stunned by her words. ‘Why doesn’t she care how others treated her?
Like Nancy and Linda.’ Charles thought and felt surprised.
“Ye, don’t you feel angry about her behavior?” Charles asked her.
“Of course I am angry.” Autumn nodded and then explained, “But I have taken everything into careful consideration. You will be very busy with your work. And since David is the only one who can help with your work, don’t fire Linda immediately. But you have to be very careful about her, because I am afraid that……”
“Ye, you are really very considerate.” Charles embraced her while talking. In fact, bearing the same misgivings as Autumn, he was not going to fire Linda immediately. And he thought that perhaps Autumn would not accept this news. But he never expected that Autumn persuade him not to fire Linda. He was really touched by her.
Charles understood that it was because Autumn was worried about him.
“Are you moved?” Autumn joked with him and smiled. “If you are really touched, then sign my letter of resignation. I am going on a vacation.”
“Naughty girl!” Charles stared at Autumn fondly but still signed on her letter of resignation.
“Though I have agreed with your resignation, you can’t leave immediately because I still have to recruit the right person to help me. Can you help me look for some good candidates from the Internet in the afternoon?” Charles asked Autumn.
“Okay. I will do it.” Autumn nodded and then said, “Well, then I’ve got go now.”
Linda got a call from Charles after Autumn left his office. Linda was extremely nervous since she thought that she would definitely get fired.
However, she didn’t expect at all that Charles would only scold her for a while. And finally tell her that he would not fire her this time. He even told her that it was Autumn who pleaded his mercy for her. Of course, Charles also warned her that he would not let her off if this happened again next time.
Linda felt so grateful that she went to Autumn’s office immediately. Though she felt awkward, Linda finally said, “Autumn, I have to thank you for what you did for me. If it was not for you, I would have been fired today.”
Being a lucky survivor from getting unemployed, her eyes filled with tears.
“There is no need for you to thank me.” Autumn said indifferently to Linda. “I know you are capable enough, and I just did you a favor at little cost. But if you make such a mistake again, then I promise you that I won’t be sympathetic next time.” Autumn added.
“I won’t. I promise I won’t do it again.” Linda shed tears of gratitude and then returned to her seat after extending her appreciation. She dared not to cook up any evil ideas anymore.
After Linda left, Autumn began to look for some good candidates for the position of Charles’s secretary on a professional job-hunting website of Y City. Unexpectedly, Autumn happened to find Leila’s resume.
She hesitated for a while, but finally made a call to Leila. When the phone got through, it was Leila’s voice on the other side. She cheerfully said, “Ye, I didn’t expect that you would call me.”
“I……” Autumn was a little indecisive but then said, “We haven’t been in touch for a long time. How are you doing?”
Upon hearing this, Leila became upset. “I am not fine recently. I am hunting for a job at the job market.”
“Looking for a job? Why?”
“It is because of this annoying woman, Paula. She always gives me a hard nut to crack. I am so angry but I gathered the courage to submit my letter of resignation. Well, Ye, how are you doing now? Did you find a new job?” Leila asked.
“I……” Autumn smiled and then replied, “I also don’t have a job yet.”
It was the current situation now, since she had just resigned so was also a hobo.
“Well, I will invite you for a dinner after I get a job. But I have to hang up now, because I got to continue looking for a job.”
Leila was about to hang up but Autumn stopped her, “Wait for a second. Leila, I can offer a job to you, but I am not sure if you would be interested in it.”
