Chapter 970: Chapter 757: Her Eyelashes, Her Curved Smile
Shi Chuxin looked at the young girl before her.
Although a feeling of jealousy rose involuntarily in her heart, seeing the tendency of Nan Zhubin and Chonghui to hand over the lead in the conversation to the young girl made Shi Chuxin breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared to Nan Zhubin and Chonghui, who although still students, exuded more pressure than many working adults.
Xia Tian, this young girl, was enveloped in a clearly bright and pure aura—unique to residents of the Ivory Tower.
Without needing to delve deep, Shi Chuxin felt she could create a character profile for the young girl: simple, sincere, rule-abiding, yet filled with hope for everything.
Frankly speaking, Shi Chuxin envied this temperament and even wanted to possess it.
However, when this temperament appeared on others—especially opponents—Shi Chuxin couldn’t help but feel disdain.
Shi Chuxin believed that five minutes would suffice for the negotiation outcome.
Thinking of this, she stealthily glanced at Nan Zhubin, feeling apprehensive—only Shi Chuxin knew that Nan Zhubin had almost broken her defenses earlier.
And Nan Zhubin—at this moment actually reached out to the Psychological Consultant, asking about the dishes.
Was he ordering food for the new young girl?
Seeing Nan Zhubin indeed disengage from the conversation, Shi Chuxin’s big stone in her heart finally settled.
Today, for the umpteenth time, she straightened her back and lifted her chin: "Since you’re asking, I’ll speak frankly."
Shi Chuxin lowered her voice: "Firstly, I can help you get compensation calculation proofs for some laid-off employees from various departments. Like the sales department’s agent who was laid off recently; his compensation was calculated based on the basic salary, without commission. I can get that proof;"
"And the company’s layoff notice—I don’t know if you’re aware, if the company doesn’t give 30-day advance notice of layoff, it has to provide an extra month’s salary as compensation, do you understand this?"
"Mm-mm, I understand." Xia Tian nodded repeatedly, like a student attentive in class.
Simultaneously, she began flipping through a thick folder in her hands, even taking out a pen. Resembling a good student eager to browse materials and take notes.
Shi Chuxin inwardly sneered: "But our company’s announcement draft is full of loopholes!"
At this point, Shi Chuxin couldn’t help but lower her voice once more, her gaze wandering around. Even with EAP Project Team members present as physical barriers, she felt uneasy.
"The layoff notice... our company has never officially announced it!"
Despite having decided in her heart to leave the company, speaking out in public about these matters still filled Shi Chuxin with dread.
She took a deep breath to adjust her state: "Besides, I can help you dodge legal accountability from the company’s legal department, as I’m acquainted with them and know what they’re going to investigate next;"
"I can also help you coordinate with several laid-off veteran employees, allowing them to testify, and even obtain some employee payroll records to prove compensation calculation irregularities."
On saying this, Shi Chuxin gave Xia Tian an admiring glance, glanced at Nan Zhubin, and then at Chonghui, who had already seated himself a short distance away.
"You guys... quite creative, thinking of sending someone in under the guise of an intern in the legal department to help gather evidence."
"I heard our director mention you recently. If I remember correctly, you were recruited to help with layoffs? A current master’s student from Beidu Political and Legal University?"
Saying this, Shi Chuxin even found herself amusing.
She shook her head, using a genuinely senior tone:
"Your idea is indeed not bad. But the things I mentioned just now, interns simply can’t touch them..."
...
Facing Shi Chuxin, who had reestablished her demeanor.
Chonghui leaned back against the side, arms crossed over his chest, saying nothing.
Nan Zhubin finally settled the menu with his cafeteria-savvy companion, once again asking Mo Kai to fetch food, and Mo Kai gladly agreed.
And Xia Tian, like a truly good student.
"Just a moment, senior."
She was still flipping noisily through the folder thicker than her hand. From Shi Chuxin’s angle, she could see colorful sticky notes inserted every few pages, convenient for memory and referencing.
What a strong student vibe.
Would they let such a young girl negotiate terms for them?
On one hand, Shi Chuxin chuckled inwardly; on the other, she felt somewhat annoyed—were Nan Zhubin and the others underestimating her?
A psychology major, indeed a little weak in social negotiation scenarios? Only good at breaking defenses but not knowing how to capitalize?
But before this thought took root in Shi Chuxin’s mind for too long.
"Found it!"
A light cheer was heard.
"Firstly, senior, you mentioned compensation proofs for laid-off personnel, right?"
A photocopy was pulled out and handed to Shi Chuxin. The image was coarse, like a second version printed after taking a photo of a computer screen, but clear enough to discern the contents.
A pink sticky note was attached to the top-left corner of the photocopy.
Xia Tian used her fingertip to push the photocopy before Shi Chuxin: "Senior, you see, is it like this?"
"This is the compensation calculation draft for a sales department agent, encrypted, even the employee themselves couldn’t access it." Xia Tian pointed at the privacy information blacked out on the photocopy, "As for whose exactly, I can’t tell you. But rest assured, the original document clearly states, this processed version is just for show."
