'No, this won't do. I have to let my aunt know about this. I have to wait until she takes her new post. Then, no one will be able to touch me.'
As if he'd figured it all out, Zhao Rui immediately said, "I don't accept this. I need time to consider. Ten days isn't too much to ask, is it?"
The HR representative smiled scornfully. "Zhao Rui, this is the company's decision. Your consideration is not required. When I asked if you had any issues, it was so I could try to get you a little more compensation, not to negotiate your departure date.
Starting tomorrow, a new colleague will be taking over your duties. I hope you will handle the final handover properly. If there are any problems with the handover, you might not even get your severance package."
Of course, Zhao Rui couldn't accept this. With his aunt about to start her new position, his own career was supposed to take off. He might have even become a deputy project manager before long. How could he get fired at a time like this?
