4651 Never Too Late to Love (58)
Aifei took a look at Ai Mengyun and finally braced herself to take a step forward. She said to the general manager, “I am Bai Sheng’s colleague… Mrs. Gu’s colleague. I have something to say to her. Will you help me pass the message?”
Ai Mengyun was his subordinate, so he could reject her. But Aifei wasn’t. Since she was not his subordinate, he could only convey her request on her behalf.
The general manager temporarily shut the door and turned around. He looked at Bai Sheng and approached her. He bent down and said in a quiet voice, “Someone is looking for you outside. She says she is your colleague, Aifei. She would like to speak with you.”
When Bai Sheng heard this, she furrowed her brow. She was in the process of choosing the house type, but after hearing the general manager’s words, she guessed it had something to do with the punishment.
!!She was here to plead for leniency!
Bai Sheng took a look at Gu Chengze and he immediately understood. “Go ahead.”
She stood up and walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door, she saw Ai Mengyun and Aifei standing outside, both looking awkward in their own ways. When Ai Mengyun saw her walking out, she became visibly uneasy. Her face flushed red, and her eyes were filled with guilt and embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have… looked down on you!”
When Bai Sheng heard this, she frowned and was compelled to reply, “I feel that there is no need to apologize! Some damages are irreversible once they are caused. No matter how many times you apologize, it’s useless.”
Ai Mengyun was even more embarrassed. “I… It’s my bad attitude. I’m very sorry! I…”
“I didn’t set your company’s punishment system. Your superior meted out this punishment not because you offended me, but because you lack professionalism in treating your guests. This will affect the company badly, so it’s useless for you to ask me to plead for mercy! I’m an outsider. I have no right to interfere with a company’s reward and punishment system. Do you understand?”
Aifei said anxiously, “But isn’t your husband a friend of Director Yun?! Wouldn’t it do any good if he could plead for us?”
Bai Sheng found her request rather intriguing and asked with some doubt, “Why do you expect others to pay for the mistakes that you have made? My husband did not do anything wrong. He is innocent. It is you who have not taken responsibility for your guests and have not fulfilled your duties. That is why the boss has given you such a punishment. Furthermore, the punishment is clear. The employees who did not commit any mistakes are fine and the ones who are punished are the people involved. I feel that there is no problem with such a punishment? Why should my husband plead for leniency on your behalf?” Bai Sheng’s words were nothing but reasonable.
Ai Mengyun’s face turned red and ashen at the same time, but she did not know how to reply!
Aifei was infuriated. “Bai Sheng, why are you so lacking in empathy? Saying a few words for us and settling this matter is nothing. Do you find it troublesome? Or are you very happy to see us in such dire straits? So many people have lost their jobs because of you. Are you very proud of yourself?”
“Because of me?” Bai Sheng was so angry that she laughed. “They lost their jobs because they did not have professional ethics. How did I come into the picture? Also, let me reiterate that I am not from Shengyu. I do not have the right to interfere with the decisions of the higher-ups of a company. Even good friends should keep work and private matters separate, right? Do you want me to be like you and bring personal grudges to work?”
