The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1595 Asking For Compensation
“Wow, it’s mom’s sweet and sour spareribs!” Bowen gleefully exclaimed when he saw the food on the table. He was so excited to eat that his eyes lit up like fireworks and his mouth started watering.
Jacob almost had the exact same response as his son when he saw what was for dinner, since sweet and sour spareribs were the only food he ever craved for, day and night.
It was quite surprising for Emily to hear how much Bowen liked her spareribs. She couldn’t help but think about it and ask herself, “When did this become his favorite?”
In a somewhat sarcastic tone, Beryl quickly reminder her. “Mom, don’t you remember making it last month? Bowen ate so much that he couldn’t move afterward because he said his stomach was too full.”
“Oh, yeah! I remember that now,” Emily replied with a slightly embarrassed smile. She didn’t want anyone to find out that the reason she hadn’t noticed how much her son ate was because she couldn’t stop looking at Jacob at that time.
She always loved seeing her husband eat his favorite dish that she worked so hard in the kitchen to make.
With a gloating smile, Jacob looked at Bowen and playfully said, “Don’t get too excited now. Your mother made that specifically for me.”
But since Bowen was too excited to eat, he didn’t pay attention to his father’s boasting. After that, everyone sat down with smiles on their faces. But when Bowen saw Jacob and Emily starting to eat, he remembered the rule that the elders always ate first. Worrying that he would run out of food, Bowen angrily picked up a sparerib and frantically exclaimed. “To Mommy, Daddy is everything! To Daddy, Mommy is everything! I wish I was a daddy too!”
“Ha-ha-ha…”
Emily almost fell from her seat from laughing too much at Bowen’s childish words.
Surprisingly, Beryl, the elder sister, joined in on the banter. “I agree! This is unfair and one-sided! Our teachers keep telling us that everyone is equal. If that’s the case, Mommy should love us the same way she loves Daddy!”
“Hey, buddy, just settle down, okay?” Jacob uttered with a complacent smile while pinching Bowen’s chubby cheeks. After that, he cleared his throat and added, “Bowen, let’s talk about this when you’re all grown up and you have a wife of your own, okay?”
“But Mommy is my wife!” Bowen angrily replied with a fierce yet innocently cute expression on his face.
“What? Did you just say you’re Mommy’s husband?” Jacob asked back in a serious voice while trying his best to stop chuckling. No matter how childish their conversation was, he wasn’t going to back down.
Emily couldn’t stand the bickering anymore, especially since the food was getting cold. With a stern voice, she said, “Everyone, stop it. Let’s just enjoy our dinner, okay?”
After that, she placed a few pieces of meat into Jacob’s bowl and thought to herself, ‘Why is it that whenever Jacob’s here, some sort of ruckus always starts? Is this something I should worry about? Maybe I shouldn’t let them do these kinds of things anymore.’
After a while,
for his failures. To top it all off, he says that his salary is too low for the amount of work he’s doing. That’s why he’s so insistent on leaving. He has signed a contract with us for five years and he has only worked here for less than half a year. I can’t believe that this man still has the audacity to ask for retirement compensation!”
Right after the manager gave the employee a piece of his mind, the look on his eyes changed from a furious to a disappointed one, probably because his own salary wasn’t what it used to be because of the group’s low sales.
While the manager was tilting his head down and thinking about money, Harlan glanced at the young man and sneered. “Ever since Mr. Xu started the KING Group, he made sure that everyone working for him has the freedom to resign. If he wants to leave, let him go.”
The atmosphere in the KING Group hadn’t been the best in a while ever since the HT Group became successful in the skincare industry. That alone was enough reason for Harlan to let go of anyone who brought upon negativity in the company.
“But…how about the compensation?” the young man asked.
“Compensation?” Harlan repeated the young man’s words, and then asked, “Aren’t you from the promotion department? Since the company’s sales are at an all-time low, Mr. Xu has been looking through the records to find out which department is at fault. If you really think that you’ve done your best and the company should pay you for that, then fine. All you need to do is write a work report of everything you’ve done while the manager checks the surveillance videos. If we see that you’ve stayed in your post and worked hard ever since you started here, the company will compensate you. But if you are found out to be derelict of duty, we’ll terminate your labor contract and sue you for compensation on the grounds that your serious negligence has caused major losses to the company.”
The young man’s jaw dropped when he heard Harlan. He hadn’t expected that things would be taken this seriously.
He also couldn’t believe that the company still kept surveillance videos from such a long time ago. It was absolutely unbelievable since most companies would only keep footage for seven days.
