Chapter 1304: Chapter 1302: 1301 close relationship

“Is there anything else that needs to be addressed?” Tan Rou asked, “If not, then let’s all go have lunch.”

The issue had already been resolved by the boss, so what more could the employees say? They had always felt that Tan Rou possessed a kind of magic power, believing that with her presence, all problems would be solved, and this time was no exception.

Only after everyone had left did Tan Rou say to Hang Wei, “I didn’t mention the punishment for the employee who made the mistake earlier because I wanted to save him some face in front of the others. However, the mistake he made this time indeed had a significant impact on our company. If we don’t punish him, I’m afraid the other employees won’t be satisfied.”

Hang Wei, however, said, “Even if the other employees agree not to punish him, we can’t just let this matter slide. If one person makes a mistake and goes unpunished, then a second person will follow suit. Our company can’t allow this kind of situation to occur.”

Tan Rou smiled, “So what do you plan to do?”

Hang Wei spoke strictly, “Dismissal. He made such a big mistake, he must be fired!”

“We are a humane company, not one that doesn’t allow mistakes. Besides, the mistake he made isn’t irreparable. So I’m planning to give him another chance,” Tan Rou expressed her thoughts. “There’s still work needed on the applet. Let him show the revised version to me. If it passes, then he’ll be off the hook. If another mistake occurs…”

Suddenly, Tan Rou stopped speaking, and Hang Wei pressed, “If he makes another mistake, what will happen? Fire him? Wouldn’t that be letting him off too lightly? After making so many mistakes, he’d still get a second chance to repent.”

“No,” Tan Rou countered, “Do you think our company’s legal department is there just for show? If he makes another mistake, we’ll have to discuss compensation with him. After all, we’re a humane enterprise, not a charity.”

Hang Wei said with great admiration, “Boss, you are really something. Making him compensate for the losses, I bet he’ll have to spend his whole life paying back Magic Power Corporation.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Tan Rou said. “Let’s hurry up and go to lunch. I originally wanted to discuss the opening event with you, but this matter held us up.”

Having packed up the materials, Hang Wei said, “Let’s go, we can talk while eating.”

The two arrived at the company canteen where there were not many people inside, as most of the employees had probably finished eating and gone back to rest. Only a small number were still eating, and among them were Shang Jin and Lang Yue, who invited Tan Rou to join them upon seeing her.

Tan Rou waved her hand, indicating she would join them after getting her meal.

The others seated with Shang Jin expressed their envy, “Designer Shang, you have such a great relationship with the boss. I wish I were on good terms with the boss too so that maybe she’d spare me one day if I made a mistake.”

“I advise you not to think that way,” Shang Jin said sternly. “Do you think I maintain a good relationship with the boss just so I can avoid taking responsibility for my mistakes? Think about it, have I made a single error since I joined the company?”

After reflecting for a moment, they knew Shang Jin indeed hadn’t made any mistakes. In fact, she had the capacity to turn things around; for instance, she had led the team to resolve a crisis when a design was leaked.

“Everyone makes mistakes, right? If I were on better terms with the boss, I’m sure she wouldn’t punish me for my mistakes. She’d probably just warn or scold me,” the person said with a laugh.

Shang Jin disapproved of this attitude, and she emphasized once more, “Since we have joined Magic Power Corporation, we should take our jobs seriously, and not just focus on currying favor with the boss. Even if you are competent, if you don’t make any mistakes, the boss may not keep you. But if you are highly skilled, even if you don’t get along well with the boss, she’ll likely give you another chance if you make a small error.”

After being criticized by Shang Jin, the person was indignant and retorted, “What’s the deal with Officer Xiao Li? He isn’t very capable, is he? So why didn’t the boss punish him after he made a mistake?”

Shang Jin too was curious about why Tan Rou didn’t punish Officer Xiao Li, but she wouldn’t voice it outright since it was Tan Rou’s decision, “That’s the boss’s decision, we shouldn’t speculate about the reasons. Let’s focus on eating instead.”
