Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 68.4: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (49)
If a colleague made the same mistake, nothing would happen to him, but when Shao Mingzhu made it, she was blamed in front of everyone.
Shao Mingzhu felt very ashamed when her mistake was pointed out to her in person. She was depressed when she returned home and even couldn’t help complaining to Shao Yu.
“What are you going to do?” Shao Yu asked.
“I will be extra careful and won’t let him find fault with it again.” Shao Mingzhu said.
Although she was unhappy, she also understood the root of everything, which was that she was indeed wrong.
“What if you have made no mistakes, but are still being criticized?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Mingzhu was stunned and suddenly didn’t know how to solve the problem.
Shao Yu then asked, “Are you willing to admit a mistake you didn’t make?”
Shao Mingzhu shook her head.
“But what if the other party forces you to apologize for a false mistake and uses this as an excuse to attack you personally?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Mingzhu asked, “Why would someone be so malicious? Dad, this shouldn’t happen, right?”
“Malicious? Were you not nice to Zheng Yaozu? And how did he treat you?” Shao Yu said
Shao Mingzhu immediately understood that what Shao Yu said was indeed possible.
“I don’t want to admit my mistake, but I really need this job,” said Shao Mingzhu.
What Shao Mingzhu said is actually the same mentality as most people in the workplace. It is clearly not their fault, but in order to support their families, they have no choice but to admit it. For the sake of salary, they have to be tortured by their leaders.
“Are you afraid that your leader will fire you?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Mingzhu nodded.
Shao Yu continued, “Your company is in a period of growth. A company in a period of growth is in need of people, so you should be very cautious in treating every employee you recruit.”
“Although your leader can decide whether you stay or leave, if he really fires you, he will also be responsible for the manpower and material resources he spent on recruiting you, which will also be a proof of his poor leadership ability.”
“So, he won’t fire you unless it’s absolutely necessary. It won’t do him any good. Unless you make a big mistake, he probably won’t fire you.”
Listening to Shao Yu’s explanation was like opening up another perspective for Shao Mingzhu.
“Is that really the case?” Shao Mingzhu asked.
Shao Yu nodded and said, “Do you think it’s easy to organize a recruitment? Your company is short of people, and you have to go through many trials and tribulations to get in. In addition to paying you a salary, they also paid for many other costs.”
“If that’s the case, why are those regular employees always so humble?” Shao Mingzhu was puzzled.
Shao Yu said: “This is a matter of personal choice.”
“Even if your boss really fires you for this reason, don’t be afraid. Although your family is in difficulty, it doesn’t mean you have to be a grandson outside every day.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Yu just wants Shao Mingzhu to experience more of the outside world, but he doesn’t really want her to become a complete office worker.
Shao Mingzhu seemed to be thinking about what he said, and then asked, “But what if he doesn’t care about it, is not afraid of any consequences, and is determined to fire me?”
Shao Yu looked at his daughter with great approval and said, “You are thinking very far ahead now.”
Shao Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed. She cherished her current job very much and couldn’t help but think too much about it.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “The solution is actually very simple. It’s all written in the textbook.”
Shao Yu’s mouth seemed to be blessed. A week later, although Shao Mingzhu did nothing wrong, she was still criticized in public by he rleader. It was obvious that he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Although Shao Mingzhu is now in a desperate situation, she was once a tiger after all. After talking with Shao Yu, she also realized that these leaders were not as tough as she thought.
When Shao Mingzhu made a mistake, she could have just stood there and let the other party say whatever they wanted. But this time, even though she had done nothing wrong,the other party kept talking to her, and the talk even escalated to personal attacks and insults to her family. Shao Mingzhu immediately exploded.
“Did I do something wrong? You said yesterday in the meeting that we should use the waterfall chart, and now you’re asking me why I didn’t choose the lake view chart. If you want to find fault, you might as well blame me for not stepping into the company with my left foot today.”
After Shao Mingzhu finished speaking, the entire small conference room fell silent.
The other colleagues glanced at Shao Mingzhu, then looked at the male leader sitting at the top.
The leader frowned and said, “I just said a few words. Why are you reacting so strongly? You are such a grown-up, can’t you bear a few words?”
Perhaps because Shao Mingzhu was so confident after getting the job, she said in front of so many people, “I will accept any reasonable advice, but I will not accept any unreasonable advice.”
“Haha, you’re really a young lady.” The leader said sarcastically.
Shao Mingzhu was not afraid at all and said, “I am here to work, not to be someone else’s servant.”
The leader looked gloomy.
The situation in the conference room was too awkward at this time. Someone still couldn’t help but stand up and said softly, “Mingzhu, you are indeed wrong in this matter. Don’t go against the leader.”
Shao Mingzhu was very persistent and said, “I am not wrong. The picture here can be a waterfall or a lake view. I put the waterfall because he said he liked waterfalls in the last meeting.”
“Mingzhu, maybe the leader thinks that a lake view is more suitable…”
Shao Mingzhu ignored such attempts and said, “What lake view? Our recommendation is ‘Enjoy the beauty of famous mountains and taste the silver falling from the sky’. What does the silver falling from the sky refer to? Don’t you know?”
Seeing how tough Shao Mingzhu was during the entire probation period, the others were so scared that they dared not speak. They even couldn’t help but reflect on whether they were living too miserably. But soon they thought of the mortgage and car loans they owed, and the elderly and children at home, and they dared not think about it anymore.
“If you don’t want to do this anymore, just turn left when you go out and go to the Human Resources Department to complete your resignation procedures,” the leader said sinisterly.
“Why should I resign voluntarily?” Shao Mingzhu asked rhetorically.
