After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

"Oh no, this is bad."

Gu Yannian was a little irritated. Everything was fine when she was taking the order, so why did it suddenly go wrong?

After inspecting it for a long time, he found that the connecting wires near the battery were burnt out, and it would definitely not be able to be moved unless it was taken for repair.

"Leave me your contact information, then you can drive my car."

Su Yanxi tossed the car keys back to Gu Yannian, saying, "Give the car back to me when you've fixed it."

Gu Yannian hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

After all, this is an affluent area; finding someone to repair electric bikes is harder than finding a young model.

"Thank you."

After many twists and turns, Gu Yannian finally escaped from this place that he found difficult to face.

He fled from the woman he couldn't face.

After driving a long way, he breathed a sigh of relief and planned to return the car before going to work the next morning.

"I'll have to be more careful when taking orders in the future. I'm never taking orders from Qingyue Bay again."

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the villa.

Su Yanxi threw the lighter in her hand into the trash can, and then dialed the company's legal department.

"Attorney Qin, please help me investigate a phone number."

It was exactly six o'clock in the morning.

The alarm clock suddenly rang in the quiet room, and Gu Yannian, who was fast asleep on the bed, couldn't help but shiver.

Since he started working, he has also developed an alarm clock phobia.

I turned off the alarm, and there was an unread text message on my phone.

The text message was from Su Yanxi, explaining the car return location.

Gu Yannian's expression turned serious because the text message was a bit strange.

The car return address wasn't Su Yanxi's villa, but rather... near his workplace!

How is this going?

Does Su Yanxi have a business partnership nearby?

He'll have to be careful at work from now on, just in case he accidentally runs into them...

The thought of this possibility gave Gu Yannian goosebumps.

He got up, washed up, ate a quick breakfast, and then drove onto the elevated highway.

He had specifically set his alarm two hours earlier to deliver the car, and now that it was on his way, he could have slept in a little longer.

However, Gu Yannian preferred to arrive early and wander around rather than wait until eight o'clock to be stuck in traffic.

At 6:30, in the company WeChat group, Department Manager Wang @ed everyone, requiring everyone to arrive at work half an hour early today, otherwise anyone who was late would be laid off.

In his words, it was about checking employee compliance.

Gu Yannian was somewhat relieved. If it weren't for the car issue, he definitely wouldn't have seen the message until eight o'clock, and then his layoff would have been a foregone conclusion.

At seven o'clock sharp, Gu Yan read out the name of Yunteng Commercial Building.

This 56-story building houses hundreds of small and medium-sized companies.

His foreign trade company was one of them.

At this time, the company's HR had not yet come to open the door, so Gu Yannian leaned against the elevator and sent a message to Su Yanxi, telling him that the car had been parked downstairs in the commercial building and the key was at the front desk.

The message was sent and a reply came quickly.

Two words: Received.

Gu Yannian was immediately relieved, knowing that he would no longer have to see Su Yanxi.

If nothing unexpected happens, he may never meet her again in his life.

"Manager, why are you at the company so early today?"

"Hehe, our company was acquired for a large sum of money last night. Before the handover of the company, we will definitely have to lay off a number of employees."

"I see. So, supervisor, you want to lay off those employees who like to arrive at the last minute?"

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the department head, Fatty Wang, with his large belly, stepped out. He chuckled and said, "That's not it. The main thing is to fire that clueless Gu Yannian."

"Manager Wang."

The HR guy who came out of the elevator with Manager Wang spotted Gu Yannian at a glance and quickly gave Manager Wang a wink.

Manager Wang tilted his head, revealing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why are you here so early today? Don't you live outside the Sixth Ring Road?"

With his hands in his pockets, Gu Yannian said sarcastically, "Someone like me who loves the company and treats it like home should naturally respond to the leader's call immediately. Otherwise, what if I get laid off by someone with ulterior motives?"

Manager Wang had a long face and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Gu Yannian's gaze met his, and she mentally cursed his entire family.

He was just a driver when he happened to get a job from Manager Wang. Because he wasn't given a discount, that fatso held a grudge and started making things difficult for him at the company.

At nine o'clock, several employees who arrived late were led into the human resources department.

When he came out again, he was completely distraught.

Seeing this, Gu Yannian shrugged, thinking, "I'll just have to live one day at a time."

"Everyone listen to me."

After entering the design department and attracting everyone's attention, Fatty Wang said with a stern face, "As you all know, the company has been acquired. In order to welcome the new chairman with a brand new look, we need to optimize our internal operations and eliminate some employees who are late, leave early, or have low work efficiency."

These words immediately put everyone in the office on edge.

In today's society with low employment rates, what everyone fears most is layoffs.

Fatty Wang adjusted his glasses and forced a greasy smile.

"But don't worry, because after looking around, I found only one person who meets the layoff criteria."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yannian felt a chill in her heart.

"Gu Yannian".

Fatty Wang looked at him with a forced smile and said, "You've been laid off."

Gu Yannian accepted it in just three seconds. After all, there was nothing interesting about working at this company except for being humiliated.

"Okay, but I want n+1 in compensation."

"impossible."

Fatty Wang tossed the design proposal in his hand at Gu Yannian like a piece of waste paper, saying, "These proposals you wrote are utter rubbish, not a single one of them is usable. You're just taking a salary from the company every month for nothing. We're already being lenient by not asking you to compensate the company, and you still want n+1?"

Gu Yannian's expression was cold and stern.

This fat Wang is going too far.

His proposal, while not top-notch in the industry, is still quite sophisticated.

After all, his family used to own a listed company, and as the only son in the family, he was exposed to a lot of things from a young age, and his vision and design concepts are much stronger than those of ordinary employees.

The company used his solutions to win over many overseas clients.

How come his plan is worthless in Fatty Wang's mouth!

Gu Yannian slowly stood up and loosened her tie.

He walked step by step toward Manager Wang, cracking his knuckles as he said, "My severance pay should add up to tens of thousands, which should be enough for you to stay in the hospital for more than a month."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang took a step back warily.

"What do you want to do?"

Gu Yannian wrapped her suit jacket around her fist and punched Wang Pangzi hard in the stomach.

Fatty Wang gagged and immediately knelt on the ground like a cooked shrimp.

Gu Yannian had tolerated him for a long time, and now she couldn't contain her anger any longer.

In front of all the company employees, he pinned Fatty Wang to the ground and beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.

Of the more than one hundred employees in the company, not a single one stepped forward to break up the fight.

They felt incredibly satisfied watching Fatty Wang get beaten up.

Everyone in the company, except for the management, has been disgusted by him.

"You're finished...you're finished!"

Fatty Wang spat out a mouthful of sour water and struggled to get up.

"I want to call the police! I want to call the police!"
