Running a Hotpot Restaurant in a Apocalypse World

Chapter 002: Taking Over the Hotpot Restaurant

However, before Jiang Ci accepted the task and completed it, there was no way to get in.

After returning, Jiang Ci's mood was far from the calm facade, moreover she discovered her balance had begun to tilt towards the other side.

The three days hadn't even passed yet, but Jiang Ci still resigned, and it wasn't because she decided to respond to the System. Instead, something happened within the company; the PPT she had painstakingly created over a week suddenly appeared on another colleague's computer.

And someone had messed with her computer, deleting all the original files inside, even more coincidentally, the surveillance during that period had issues.

However, the colleague didn't expect Jiang Ci had previously sent the most important data from this PPT to another colleague via email.

When Jiang Ci presented this evidence to her superior, the latter took a middle ground stance, words revealing that connections sometimes matter more than effort, hinting that there were people Jiang Ci couldn't afford to offend.

Later Jiang Ci learned that colleague had gotten on good terms with the company's deputy manager.

The colleague, certain Jiang Ci had no evidence, and knowing the superior wouldn't stand by Jiang Ci's side, boldly used Jiang Ci's PPT during a company-wide meeting, winning applause and attention.

Jiang Ci sat expressionless in her own seat, then what about herself tirelessly running around every day this week collecting data and information? Was it considered her misfortune?

As the colleague proudly returned to their own seat, Jiang Ci, who had been suppressing her emotions for a long time, stood up under everyone's gaze. She took out the evidence and flung it in front of that colleague and the Deputy Manager with their big head and ears.

No few people attended the company meeting, and everyone just watched Jiang Ci curse people on the stage for ten minutes.

Normally, Jiang Ci had always been the image of not saying much and burying her head in work within the company, looking like the type who would hold back her anger, with her colleagues also being aware that her family was not well-off, still at the stage of striving to buy a house. Now there was fierce competition everywhere, and Jiang Ci probably didn't want to lose this hard-won job, so the Deputy Manager and colleagues were unafraid, not realizing they had misjudged the situation.

In the end, Jiang Ci finished with the words "You're garbage, you're also garbage", handsomely and neatly flinging her hand, she slammed her work badge on the table. "I quit! Remember to give me my wages according to the rules, or I'll definitely drag this out until the end!"

She was never a person with a good temper, but to live, she had no choice but to force herself to smooth out her edges, but in the end, it gave people a false impression of being easy to push around.

Because the company's general meeting just so happened to be connected live with the chairman and shareholders, the chairman watched the entire thing, and he flew into a huge rage. This matter was dealt with very seriously, and the company's human resources even specially gave Jiang Ci a call, asking if she wanted to return, but Jiang Ci refused. In the end, she only took the part of the compensation that she should have received, and the company gave her a little extra. Jiang Ci understood; this was essentially a gag fee.

What happened later was broadcast to her live by her former colleagues, such as that often corrupt vice president and that colleague and boss who'd snatched her things all being fired from the company. The vice president and boss, because they often colluded to do such things, embezzled quite a lot of money from the company, and they even had to face a letter of intent from the company's lawyers.
