Farming Space Makes Me Rich (3)

Chapter 594: You're Lying!

As soon as she entered the office, she saw boss Xiao sitting opposite the general manager. She greeted Xiao Lingyu first, "Boss!" Then, she looked at Zeng Yaozu and asked, "General manager, are you looking for me?"

Of course, she noticed Li Xiaomei standing in the office, but there was no need to greet her now.

Zeng Yaozu pointed at Li Xiaomei and said, "Li Xiaomei has missed work for three days. According to the rules and regulations of the supermarket, if there is no legitimate reason, she will be automatically dismissed. However, Li Xiaomei said that she had asked for leave from you. Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Xiaomei immediately shook her head and denied, "No!"

Li Xiaomei's eyes suddenly widened, and she shouted, "Zhou Xiaomei, you are lying! I clearly asked for leave from you. Why don't you admit it now?" Then, she turned to Zeng Yaozu and said, "General manager, I asked for leave from Zhou Xiaolu. I don't know why she's lying now."

Zhou Xiaolu said frankly, "Li Xiaomei, you've said it yourself. Why would I lie for no reason?"

Li Xiaomei's breath stopped for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses and pointed at Zhou Xiaolu angrily. She said loudly, "I know! You hate me, right? So you're taking revenge on me!" Then, she turned to Zeng Yaozu and said, "General manager, a few days ago, Zhou Xiaolu and I had a dispute about work. So, she hates me and won't give me leave."

Everyone, "..." What does this woman think work is like?

Zhou Xiaolu's face turned dark as she said, "Li Xiaomei, even if I had some disputes with you at work, I won't bring it into my work. You didn't ask for leave from me, so please don't slander my character."

"Humph, Zhou Xiaolu, I clearly asked for leave from you."Li Xiaomei said sharply, "But since you're the team leader, you have the final say."

Zhou Xiaolu, "..."

Xiao Lingyu, who was listening at the side, frowned slightly.

She didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters.

There was something wrong with Li Xiaomei's character. She wanted to fire her a long time ago.

However, Li Xiaomei had been quite well-behaved these days, and they could not find any excuses. They couldn't fire her for no reason. But now, Li Xiaomei had presented them with the best excuse.

Then, Xiao Lingyu suddenly asked, "Li Xiaomei, you said that your brother had a car accident. Is it serious?"

When Li Xiaomei heard Xiao Lingyu's voice, she was stunned. It was as if she had just seen Xiao Lingyu. She answered in panic, "His head was injured, and his leg was crushed. I have been taking care of him these days." She made the injuries sound very serious so that she could earn sympathy points.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Yes. As the older sister, you should take care of your brother, who has suffered such a serious injury. Oh, right, after you received the call from the hospital, did you directly ask team leader Zhou for a leave of absence?"

Li Xiaomei did not know what Xiao Lingyu meant by this question, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiao Lingyu looked at Zhou Xiaolu and berated her with a serious and slightly serious tone, "Team leader Zhou, this is your fault.

"Li Xiaomei has a family crisis, so she didn't have the time to write a request slip. But she did tell you verbally. You should have reported this immediately. How can you hide it because of your selfishness?"

When she heard Xiao Lingyu's words, Li Xiaomei's eyes lit up, and her face jumped with excitement.

The boss was on her side. In that case, she would not only get her salary back but Zhou Xiaolu might also be kicked out as well.

At that time, the position of team leader would be vacant. Then, she might be able to fight for the position of team leader, right?

Then, Li Xiaomei looked at Zhou Xiaolu with a proud and boastful expression.

When Zhou Xiaolu received her gaze, she felt suffocated and even aggrieved.

She defended herself, "Boss, I didn't."

"You didn't?" Xiao Lingyu's expression changed as if she was very dissatisfied with her. "Li Xiaomei, team leader Zhou is unwilling to confess.

"So, Xiaomei, please tell us when and where did you ask for leave from team leader Zhou? As long as you explain clearly, I will definitely help you.

"Not only will I ask the finance department to make up for your lost salary, but I will also give the position of team leader Zhou Xiaolu to you."

Zhou Xiaolu, "..." What kind of Boss is this? She only listens to one side of the story. To think I used to believe she's a good boss.

Li Xiaomei was so happy that she wanted to jump up. If she had known that Xiao Lingyu was an idiot who was so easy to fool, she would have done this a long time ago.

Li Xiaomei suppressed the excitement and happiness on her face and very naturally told them the time and place of her quarrel with Zhou Xiaolu, "I told him four days ago when I was sorting out the goods on the second floor at seven o'clock in the morning."

Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows. "Four days ago, on the second floor at seven o'clock in the morning, are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Li Xiaomei confirmed without hesitation.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and then said to Zeng Yaozu, "Yaozu, pull up the surveillance footage to confirm it!"

Li Xiaomei's expression instantly froze.

How could she have forgotten that there were surveillance cameras installed in every corner of the supermarket except for the more private places?

Zhou Xiaolu,"..." Why didn't she think of that?

Zeng Yaozu quickly called the security room and asked someone to transfer the video over.

After watching the video, Zeng Yaozu said coldly to Li Xiaomei, "Do you still have anything to say? In the video, it is shown clearly that you and team leader Zhou were arguing because you didn't agree with the arrangements of the goods. You even scolded team leader Zhou. Then you disappeared from your post. You never did ask for any leave."

After this lie was exposed, Li Xiaomei's expression was flustered.

She immediately defended herself, "General manager, it's my fault that I didn't ask for leave. But after I quarreled with team leader Zhou that day, I received a call from my family saying that my brother had been in a car accident.

"I didn't have time to ask for leave at all. My brother was seriously injured, and my parents were devastated. I had to comfort my parents while taking care of my brother. I couldn't spare any time and forgot to ask for leave."

She felt that this was a very good reason.

This was an accident. No one could have predicted it, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu immediately pointed out and said, "You're lying!"
