Chapter 761: Chapter 461 Ivy Loses Her Temper
"Whether I want to do it or not is my own business. Who are you to tell me to pack up and leave?
What’s wrong with driving an Audi to work?
Did I use your bank card to buy the car? Did I spend a penny of your money on gas?
If I’m not serious or passionate enough about my work here, you can criticize me.
But stop using these pointless reasons to make things difficult for me.
I’m here to work, not to be bullied by you.
The work you assign me within a normal scope, I’ll do my best to complete.
But if you keep bullying me like this, I’m sorry, I won’t stand for it."
"Then quit if you won’t serve," the team leader shouted angrily.
"Then please have HR issue a dismissal notice.
As long as there’s a dismissal notice, I’ll immediately pack up and leave.
But if you can’t produce one, please apologize to me immediately."
The sound of their argument was loud, alerting the department manager.
The onlookers saw the manager coming out, and everyone quickly returned to their seats.
The manager scolded, "What are you all doing."
The team leader pointed at Ivy Miller, "Manager Tan, I can’t handle Ivy Miller anymore.
I assign her work, but not only does she refuse to do it, she also picks faults with me."
Ivy Miller bowed, picked up the materials, and walked to Manager Tan, "Manager, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for disturbing the office order today.
But what I’m saying is objective fact. This is the work Team Leader Liu assigned me today.
She wants it translated by this afternoon because it’s urgently needed.
I need to organize the materials for her by at least three o’clock.
But for a newcomer like me, this is indeed a task I can’t complete.
I can work overtime, and use my personal time for work.
My skills aren’t that proficient yet, that’s my fault.
But Team Leader Liu is clearly making things difficult for me."
Manager Tan took the materials, glanced at them, and Team Leader Liu raised her eyebrows, giving Ivy Miller a sideways look, "This is the workplace, not a place for your nonsense.
This is the first time I’ve heard someone picking and choosing work."
Manager Tan said gravely, "All right, both of you stop arguing. Team Leader Liu, this document is indeed too much for a newcomer to complete.
In the future, arrange documents needed urgently ahead of time.
If a situation like today happens again, find an experienced staff member to handle it.
Even for an old employee, this document would be tight."
Team Leader Liu frowned, bit her lip, "I got it, but Ivy Miller’s work attitude is problematic."
"Both of you have problems. Your work assignments are inappropriate, and while Ivy Miller’s reasoning is correct, her attitude needs to improve in the future."
Ivy Miller nodded, "I understand, Manager, I’ll definitely correct my attitude next time."
She then looked at Team Leader Liu, "Team Leader, it’s my fault for yelling earlier. I’ll watch it next time."
Team Leader Liu snorted coldly and turned away. Ivy Miller knew these people weren’t fools; given a way out, they would definitely take it.
There’s no reason to get a bargain and still be coy.
Not surprisingly, after being scolded by the manager, Team Leader Liu was disgruntled, and gave Ivy Miller another file, this time with even more content, "I need this by tomorrow morning, is that okay?"
Ivy Miller really wanted to curse this wretched woman a few more times, but thinking this was the workplace and not her own home, she held back.
At noon, everyone went to lunch, but Ivy Miller did not.
In the afternoon, when everyone clocked off, Ivy Miller stayed behind for overtime.
From six o’clock, there were still a few people in the office, but by seven thirty, only she was left.
Did she really think she was asking for punishment?
Clearly, she could be making money from home, but she decided to suffer this aggravation at the company.
However, thinking about it, since she’d be home alone, she might as well work overtime. Besides, she could practice her English translation skills.
Put nicely, it’s full of positive energy; put harshly, it’s self-comfort.
Just as she was focused on her work, Jack Jude came by again with the same reason as last night, bringing her a meal.
"Ivy, eat something before you continue working."
Seeing Jack Jude’s diligent attitude, Ivy Miller suddenly thought that the uncle’s words from last night made sense.
Could he really have feelings for her?
"Jack, I’m not hungry. I’ve been dieting at night these days."
"You’re already this thin, and still dieting."
Ivy Miller pursed her lips, wondering how thin she really was.
"Jack, you should head back early; I’ll be here for a while longer."
"Don’t be too stubborn with Team Leader Liu.
She has backing in our company, and if you clash with her, be careful she doesn’t sabotage you.
Team Leader Liu has always been quite dominant.
Few dare to oppose her in the office. You’re new, and there’s a lot you don’t know, so be cautious next time."
"Even with backing, she should be reasonable, right?" mentioning Team Leader Liu made Ivy Miller upset again.
"In places like this, where does reason come from?
Whoever has the backing has the say. I think you’re just too naive."
Ivy Miller pressed her lips, "Jack, I think you should contact me less in the future. I don’t want to drag you down.
You’re so kind, bringing me meals, and if Team Leader Liu found out, she might go after you too."
"I just think you’re a poor girl, coming to the company for a month and almost always working overtime.
You remind me of my own struggles when I first joined the company.
I was also unfamiliar with work and worked overtime nearly every day.
Everyone goes through it, just comfort yourself and be more open-minded.
All right, I better not say much, need to rush home to study for an exam. Keep it up."
Hearing Jack Jude say that, Ivy Miller was puzzled. If he really was interested in her, he wouldn’t just leave like that.
Could she have been overthinking it?
Oh, perhaps. He’s just pitying her, kindly bringing her a meal. She was being suspicious.
No, no, it’s not her fault, it’s that uncle’s bad guidance.
She was led astray by the uncle.
At ten thirty, she had only translated two-thirds of her document. Exhausted, she decided to rest her head on the desk and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, the office lights had somehow been turned off.
She was already timid, and now she was really panicking.
She took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and looked around.
The dense cubicles made her feel a bit flustered.
She stood up, walked quickly to the door to turn on the lights, but the lights wouldn’t come on.
She wanted to run out, but the hallway outside was long and dark...
She bit her lip and shook her head; no, she couldn’t go out, that would terrify her. She turned back to her desk, trembling as she dialed Henry Sullivan’s number.
