Cutting to the Artery: A Regretful Decision
墨書 Inktalez
Lin Xia was a key technical member of the company, leading the development of an artificial intelligence that was about to launch. Recently, a new vice president had been appointed, the boss's daughter, Wang Lan. After spending two years studying abroad, she returned eager to prove herself and felt that the company urgently needed reform, especially by getting rid of someone like Lin Xia, who was known for being difficult.
This had left Lin Xia feeling quite troubled.
The summer sun blazed down mercilessly.
Yet inside the Xinghuo Technology Company building, there was a suffocating chill in the air.
Lin Xia stood at the elevator doors with all the members of the technical department, awaiting the arrival of their new leader.
"Ding."
The elevator doors slowly opened.
The sharp sound of high heels echoed as they approached.
A woman in a designer suit, impeccably made up, stepped out on ten-centimeter stilettos.
Her presence was commanding.
This was the legendary daughter of the boss.
The newly appointed vice president—Wang Lan.
Lin Xia observed Wang Lan with an impassive expression.
Her gaze was like a knife.
It swept across every corner of the technical department.
As if surveying her territory.
Employees hurriedly lowered their heads.
Fearing to make eye contact with her.
An oppressive atmosphere hung in the air.
Lin Xia could sense her colleagues' unease.
As the head of the technical department, she had to remain calm.
Taking a deep breath, she was about to welcome Wang Lan's arrival when a sharp, piercing voice cut through the air.
"Everyone, gather in the conference room immediately!"
In the conference room, the employees sat nervously, the atmosphere thick with tension.
Wang Lan stood at the front, her gaze as sharp as that of a hawk.
"From today onward, I will be overseeing the work of the technical department."
"I'll be straightforward: the company's management regulations have become too lax."
Wang Lan's voice was cold and unyielding.
"Therefore, I am announcing some new management regulations."
Lin Xia furrowed her brow, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
"First, starting today, we will implement the 006 work system."
Wang Lan's words landed like a heavy hammer, striking each person’s heart.
A murmur of discontent rippled through the conference room as some couldn't help but voice their complaints in hushed tones.
Wang Lan squinted her eyes.
Her gaze swept across the room like a blade.
In an instant, it silenced the murmurs.
"Second, a fine of 100 yuan for being one minute late; three instances of tardiness will result in immediate dismissal."
"Third, you are allowed to use the restroom no more than three times a day, and each visit must not exceed five minutes."
Each regulation felt like a shackle.
They bound the employees tightly.
Lin Xia clenched her fists.
Her nails dug deep into her palms.
Yet she felt no pain.
She looked at the despair and fear etched on her colleagues' faces.
The fire of anger within her blazed hotter.
"These regulations will take effect immediately."
"If anyone has objections, you may submit your resignation right now."
As soon as Wang Lan's words fell, the meeting room fell into silence.
Lin Xia could no longer hold back.
She stood up abruptly.
"Vice President Wang, these regulations clearly violate labor laws."
"We are human beings, not machines!"
Wang Lan coldly regarded Lin Xia.
A smirk of sarcasm curled at the corner of her mouth.
“Supervisor Lin, are you questioning the company's decision?”
“I am not questioning it; I am pointing out the unreasonable aspects of these regulations.”
Lin Xia stood her ground, staring directly into Wang Lan's eyes.
“We need reasonable working hours and rest periods.”
“Only then can we ensure work efficiency and quality.”
Wang Lan narrowed her eyes, her tone laced with a threat.
“Supervisor Lin, you need to think carefully.”
“This is all for the development of the company.”
“If you cannot accept that, then…”
A gasp interrupted her.
All eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
It was Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang's face was pale, her body swaying unsteadily.
“I... I don't feel well...”
Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed to the ground.
