Chapter 879: Job Application
When the other party drank the fourth pot of tea and went to the bathroom five times, Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to ask, “May I ask, Mr. Bruce, why did you come to find me? It can’t be for the tea, right?”
Bruce put down his empty cup and said with a smile, “President Xiao, I am your great admirer…”
“Huh?” Xiao Lingyu was slightly stunned, then she interrupted him, “Mr. Bruce, I’m already married, and my husband is very easily jealous. If he hears this, he will break your legs!” Her husband was getting more jealous by the day.
Bruce was stunned at first, then he reacted. He immediately waved his hands and defended himself, “No, no, president Xiao, you misunderstood. I didn’t… I didn’t mean that.”
He had a wife and children, and he had always been loyal to his wife. No matter how beautiful other women were, he would not be moved.
Bruce scratched his head a few times. He seemed to be a little anxious and did not know how to express it.
Bruce explained, “CEO Xiao, I… I mean, I respect and admire you very much. I have always regarded you as my idol… I…”
He had stayed in China for so many years, and he could speak the language fluently. However, the Chinese language was broad and profound. Seeing Bruce’s expression, Xiao Lingyu finally understood that he had used the wrong words, which almost caused a misunderstanding.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked, “Thank you for the compliments, Mr. Bruce. So, you came today to..”
Mr. Bruce was about to explain, but his face suddenly turned red. He said, “Sorry, President Xiao, I need to go to the bathroom!”
He had drunk so much tea, and this was the consequence.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Please!”
A moment later, Bruce came back.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to the point and said, “President Xiao, you have heard that I have been removed from my position as the branch president of Royal Forest in China, and the head office has banned me from the industry.”
Royal Forest and Green Fresh were competing companies.
If the other company had any news, the first to know would be the rival company.
Bruce being fired from his position was not a secret. Of course, Xiao Lingyu would know.
Xiao Lingyu asked again, “I know, but what does it have to do with me?”
The CEO of a rival company suddenly came looking. Generally speaking, it was not good news. Xiao Lingyu would naturally be on guard.
Bruce said, “Of course, it has to do with you. Do you know why I was fired by the head office?” Then, without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to answer, he said anxiously, “That’s because I praised your company in front of the head office. The president didn’t believe me, so I was fired!” He felt wronged. He was just telling the truth. Instead, the head office determined that his ability was not good enough.
“…” Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless as she asked, “Oh, I see. Then did Mr. Bruce come to find me to ask me for compensation?”
Bruce shook his head and said, “Of course not. My dismissal is the decision of Royal Forest’s head office. It has nothing to do with you.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” so, what exactly are you here for?
“I’m here to apply for a job!”
“Huh?!”
