Chapter 320 Never to return. Boss Cai sighed, she knew what was going on, after working as the boss of the dock teams, she was used to seeing a lot of schemes and sadly this one was one of the schemes she has seen a lot of time but the thing was she was on Tu Tingling side. Not because she was favouring the latter but because she has grown long tired of Zhu Cheng, it was just one time that this woman brought a client to their team when they were in trouble and all of their clients were being snatched by their opposing teams but God knows how many times she has heard Zhu Cheng mentioned that one time when she brought the client.
And even if she did a favour to the team, she repaid it by making Zhu Cheng the team leader long ago. It wasn't that she was an ungrateful person but Zhu Cheng has always been a troublesome worker, she would dump her job on others, and taking bribes was something that was a habit that she couldn't get rid of, Boss Cai has always turned a blind eye to it. And she can do it this time too, she could turn this quarrel into something completely minor but she didn't want to —— she understood Tu Tingling's intentions and she was on board with it as well.
She took Zhu Cheng back because she has some good grace left for the woman but then again, this woman has left for months and suddenly turned up. Instead of acting properly and keeping her as inconspicuous as possible for the trouble, she made the team go through after quitting so suddenly, she was acting like she was the boss here.
Boss Cai hated her arrogance, how can a woman who was irresponsible to drop everything and leave when there wasn't even another team leader trained to take on her responsibilities act like this? This was a good chance, she can take this opportunity to kick Zhu Cheng from the team, after all far from bringing clients to the team, she was causing the clients to run away.
Thus, Boss Cai cleared her throat and looked at Zhu Cheng sternly causing the other's heart to thump wildly. " Zhu Cheng, I have ignored whatever you have been doing behind my back but just so you know I am aware of what you have been doing, alright?"
Zhu Cheng's heart jumped, as she carefully peered at her boss and when her gaze met with Boss Cai's stern one she understood that all the small stunts that she has been pulling behind the latter's back acting like Boss Cai wouldn't know—— Boss Cai knew it all.
"Boss——"
" However, I cannot ignore the trouble that you have brought to the team ever since you returned." continued Boss Cai ignoring Zhu Cheng's interruption. " Do you think that you are still the team leader after abandoning the team for so many months, do you take this work as your mommy's backyard where you can stroll anytime?"
" Boss, I... I told you that my daddy was sick and I have to——"
" Enough!" snapped Boss Cai as she raised her hand and stopped Zhu Cheng from saying any more of her excuses. " You think that I am stupid? We all have parents at our home, do you think that if our parents get sick, we will stop coming to work? No. Everyone here will take extra shifts to make enough money to treat their parent's disease, you think that you can fool me with these petty excuses?"
"Zhu Cheng, I took you into the team again because you once were an important team member but that doesn't mean that you are any better than the other workers here, you can't cause trouble to the team leader out of envy and anger, after all, if you haven't quit so suddenly without training anyone to take your responsibility, we wouldn't have to do something like this, you get it?" said Boss Cai as she pinched the bridge of her nose and then shook her head. " I worry that you and Tu Tingling can't work together and since, that's the case——" she opened her eyes and sharply looked at Zhu Cheney causing the latter to stiffen. " You can go to other teams and look for work, Zhu Cheng. Stop causing trouble in my team."
Zhu Cheng was stunned, she couldn't believe that Boss Cai would kick her out of the team. If she went to work with the other teams, then she would have to start from the very bottom again, she was in her late twenties now.. by the time she would be recognized by the Boss of the other team she will in her late thirties! And that too if she was ever recognized by the Boss of the team!
The opportunity of getting the client was once in a lifetime opportunity, with the current competition she might have to stay as some small worker all her life!
She was startled and immediately rushed after Boss Cai who was walking toward the merchant with a smile on her face. " Boss! Boss! I will work hard from now on, please don't kick me out of the team! Boss!"
But Boss Cai didn't turn around and before Zhu Cheng could get close to her, she was surrounded by the very team she once led. Furious, she turned to glare at the women who were stopping her. " You bitches! What are you doing, get the f*ck out of my way! Have you forgotten that I was the one who took you all on the road to success, have you all forgotten the grace that I have shown you, so soon? If not for me, this team wouldn't have existed and then you all would be starving somewhere, how dare you treat your benefactor like this?"
Tu Tingling snorted as she raised her hand and waved it. " Like this," then she turned to the team and ordered, " Throw her out, if the merchant mistress got upset then we will be the one who will get punished."
The team immediately followed and then ignoring Zhu Cheng's shouts, they carried her out of the docks. As for Tu Tingling, she took a furtive glance around the dock and then strode towards the alley that was next to the dock and stretched her hand out, " I did as you asked, I might even lose some of my daily wages because of the trouble that I caused, pay me accordingly."
Lang raised her head and peered at Zhu Cheng through the hooded cloak she was wearing, when she saw that Zhu Cheney was indeed removed from the docks with no chance of return she nodded and handed two taels to Tu Tingling. " Make sure she never makes a come back."
Rubbing the two taels in her hands, Tu Tingling sighed. " Oh don't worry as long as I am alive, that woman will never work on these docks again much less in any other teams."
