Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 925: Chapter 926: I Told Them to Fire Him

The days were hectic and fulfilling, and Hualing still hadn’t returned. It was a weekend, and Cheng Su was finally at home resting, only to be met with the arrival of her Elder Sister.

Her eyes were red, her face haggard, and her complexion a bit pale. Upon inquiry, it turned out Qi Fenglian only then learned that Zhang Jisheng had long been dismissed.

”...I just found it strange. In the past, he would rush off to work in the morning, but lately, even when I’ve left, he hasn’t gone out. It was only after a few days of asking that I found out he’d been let go,” Qi Fenglian sobbed.

Upon hearing that Zhang Jisheng had been dismissed, it felt to Qi Fenglian like a thunderbolt had crashed over her head, leaving her mind buzzing.

Such a good job, with such high pay—although Zhang Jisheng’s salary was handed over to the family, at least it kept her mother-in-law’s mouth shut. But now it’s gone, where would she find money to silence her mother-in-law?

Should she ask for it from her side? No, Qi Fenglian persevered through the hardship of leaving her two children to work, just to become independent sooner. Her money could only be saved for her own family; how could she give it to her mother-in-law?

She couldn’t accept it!

How could he be dismissed out of nowhere? When pressed, Zhang Jisheng got angry, saying something about asking her good sister-in-law, leaving her completely bewildered.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Su felt her anger rising and said, ”He really said that? That you should ask me?”

Qi Fenglian’s heart pounded—could there be more to it?

Cheng Su curled up her lips coldly and said, ”Elder Sister, it was I who asked the renovation team boss to fire Zhang Jisheng.”

What?

Qi Fenglian was wide-eyed. Why?

”Do you know how he behaved at the renovation team, Elder Sister? He picked the easy tasks, complained about the low wages, whined about the hard work, and griped about everything. Is Zhang Jisheng a college graduate or something? What qualifications or confidence does he have to be so picky?” Cheng Su mercilessly mocked and said, ”If he’s going to complain about this and that, fine, but he even dared to confront the boss. What’s that about? He’s just an employee. Did he suffer any injustice or something? How dare he confront his boss? Pray tell, which boss can tolerate such behavior?”

Qi Fenglian was stunned; she had no idea about the confrontation, although she knew Jisheng complained about the hard work.

”Elder Sister, when hiring someone to work for themselves, it’s not about hiring an ancestor to serve. With Zhang Jisheng’s attitude, it’s not just others—even I can’t stand it,” Cheng Su said coldly.

”He... he wouldn’t...” Qi Fenglian found it hard to believe that Zhang Jisheng would confront the boss; what nerve he had!

”Elder Sister, don’t say he wouldn’t. In fact, he’s bolder than you think in many ways.” Cheng Su leaned forward slightly, took a deep breath, and swallowed back those unfortunate matters, saying, ”The scene where he confronted the boss wasn’t fabricated, but rather witnessed by Qi Taiguo firsthand.”

”What, Taiguo?” This time Qi Fenglian was truly shocked.

”It was Taiguo who suggested his dismissal. If you don’t believe it, Elder Sister, you can call Taiguo back and ask him clearly.”

”No need, I’m back.” Qi Taiguo walked in from the doorway. Cheng Su stood up, took the military uniform from his hand, and went to pour a glass of water for him.

Qi Taiguo took a sip and said, ”Susu didn’t say anything wrong. I instructed her to ask the boss to fire Zhang Jisheng. Elder Sister, go back and tell Zhang Jisheng to return to his old home and stop working here!”

Qi Fenglian was dumbfounded. Why?
