Fined 600,000 For Snacking In The Office

The next day, I sent in my application for annual leave when I reached the office. I had worked in this company for eight years, and I had never once had a vacation.

When I submitted my application, Brandon looked at me. “What are you doing? Taylor, I’ve just got promoted, and you’re already applying for time off now? Are you doing this on purpose?”

“Brandon, you’re overthinking this. With your leadership, we’ll definitely be able to reach new heights. I haven’t taken a break throughout all these years. I can’t take it anymore, so I decided to take some time off to rest. Otherwise, I’d be too exhausted.”

He sized me up in disdain. “That’s true. You’ve had to deal with so many big clients. You’re already over thirty years old. Naturally you would lack the energy to keep up with them.”

His implication was practically transparent. I knew he suspected that I got my clients through despicable ways.

It was hard to change his mind since he already had that prejudice against me.

I did not bother explaining myself. Brandon approved my application.

“Don’t forget about your month-end evaluation! If you can’t hit your target, your salary will be docked!

“If you don’t hit your targets for three months in a row, you’re out of here!”

“I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t be leaving.”

They would be the ones leaving!

After I completed my leave application, I packed my bags for my vacation. I was going to Shine City. It was the day of the show, so I did not want to miss it.

After two hours, I had just alighted the train when Henry sent me a text. [Taylor, Glory Corporation has signed the agreement. Winnie said Brandon will be taking the commission.

[This is going to be his key achievement during the year-end performance review, so Brandon can be promoted to our sales head. With that, Winnie would be promoted too!

[They’re so shameless! How could you bear it?]

[Be patient. They won’t be able to deal with the case. Just wait and see!]

I laughed after I sent that text message. It had not been easy to get Glory Corporation to sign a renewal agreement.

I muted my phone and chose to ignore everything else. I sat in the mall and stared at the stage before me. I felt extremely excited.

My emotions fluctuated with the plot, and I laughed and cried along with the characters.

After two hours, I stepped out of the hall. I took out my cell phone and saw more than a hundred missed calls. I also got a lot of text messages.

The latest text message came from Winnie.

[Taylor, Mr. Williams from Glory Corporation said there are some issues with the agreement. They decided to withdraw from the contract. This will cost a three-billion-dollar loss for our company. Get ready to be fired!]

I snorted and texted back. [I have passed the agreement to Brandon. He couldn’t deal with it, so you’re putting me up as a scapegoat?

[Winnie, if you want to fire me, remember to compensate me.]

After I sent that text message, I put my cell phone in my pocket. Not even Henry could reach me.

I kept walking around while receiving continuous text messages. From those text messages, I roughly knew what happened.

After I left, Brandon decided to build some relationships with some big clients. Hence, he went to Glory Corporation with gifts.

However, when he reached, he bumped into Daniel Williams. When Daniel learned that Brandon was the new director, he asked Brandon a few technical questions. Brandon could not answer any of them. Daniel was losing confidence in our company, so he requested a site visit.

I had already gone through the site visit with Daniel numerous times before. Brandon had never visited the site before. When he reached there, it just so happened that one of the machines was broken.

Brandon had asked an engineer to fix it.

It turned out that no one knew how to fix this new machine. In the past, whenever there were any issues, I had always contacted the right person to service it.

Daniel immediately expressed that the company was a fraud, and that he would not sign the renewal agreement.

The agreement fell through. Not only did the company lose three billion dollars, but Daniel also scolded Brandon and contacted Mr. Davis.

Henry gave me a call. “Taylor, come back. They’re going to file a police report, claiming that you’re a fraud!”
