Chapter 755: How Could I Tolerate Other Women Laying a Finger on Him?

The HR manager quickly found the female assistant and said to her, “Xiao Fen, you don’t need to come in tomorrow.”

Li Fen was stunned. “What do you mean?”

The HR manager took out the lipstick.

The color drained from Li Fen’s face.

She clutched her own tube of lipstick. When she saw the other one, she said angrily, “You’re firing me over a lipstick? How can you be so unreasonable?”

The HR manager had seen too many young women like her.

The HR manager said calmly, “This was such a good opportunity. You’re young and you got to work for a major corporation, but you didn’t appreciate it. Instead, you resorted to these underhanded tricks. Fine. Let’s be objective. You have a crush on the boss—we get it. He’s certainly an exceptional man. But you’ve met his wife, haven’t you? Ask yourself, how do you even begin to compare to her?”

“I…”

The HR manager handed her the lipstick from Qin Jiao. “The boss and his wife have been together for years, and their relationship is solid as a rock. That’s because she’s a wonderful woman, and he cares about her immensely. It’s not something an outsider can undermine with a few words or by trying to wedge their way in. Go on, now. Find another job. Whether you decide to work honestly or keep trying these crooked schemes is up to you. The month is almost over, so we’ll give you a full month’s salary. And since the New Year is coming up, you’ll get your year-end bonus, too. It will all be deposited into your bank account.”

No matter how much Li Fen pleaded, it was no use. She had no choice but to pack her belongings and leave the job she had loved so much.

A part of her was regretful.

But deep down, she was also indignant.

‘I just graduated from college. I’m young and beautiful. How could I possibly not compare to the boss’s wife?’

‘She’s had a child and spends all day focused on her business. Even if she is attractive, isn’t a gentle and supportive homemaker what a boss really needs?’

A while ago, she had bragged to her college roommate that she’d gotten into Jiuyi. She even boasted to her classmates about how young and handsome the boss was.

Her roommate had egged her on, “Then you should go after him.”

In truth, Li Fen had been smitten the very first time she saw Shen Yi. But she had shyly told her roommate, “But the boss is already married and has a child.”

Her roommate said, “So what? People get divorced, don’t they? You have to fight for your own happiness. There’s no such thing as a man who can’t be stolen, only a woman who isn’t trying hard enough.”

Li Fen was very displeased to be compared to a pickaxe. She prided herself on her beauty; plenty of guys had pursued her in school.

But she had well and truly fallen for Shen Yi.

She had originally worked in administration. When Shen Yi’s assistant took a leave of absence to go home, she fought for the temporary position.

But no matter what she did, Shen Yi wouldn’t even give her a second glance.

Today, when she went to Shen Yi’s car to get some documents, an idea suddenly struck her.

‘Shen Yi isn’t interested in me for now, but I can create some conflict between him and his wife.’

So, Li Fen had taken the perfume from her pocket, sprayed some in Shen Yi’s car, and then left her lipstick on the front passenger seat.

And that had led to the scene today.

In the end, clutching the two tubes of lipstick, she walked out of the main doors of Jiuyi.

Qin Jiao stood at the glass window, watching the young woman’s dejected figure as she walked away.

‘She didn’t think there was anything wrong with having the young woman fired. While it might seem that, in their marriage right now, Shen Yi’s feelings for her ran a little deeper, that didn’t mean Qin Jiao didn’t love Shen Yi. Shen Yi was her husband, the father of her child. How could she tolerate another woman trying to get her hands on him?’
