Director’s office.
The secretary knocked and entered, “Director, Zhang Ye has gone home. They didn’t find him.”
Wang Shuixin was standing by his window, watering his plants. He was shaking his head, as if he were reciting some flowery poetry. He looked back at the secretary and signalled for him to come over, then pointed outside the window.
The secretary went over and looked, then immediately saw Zhang Ye’s figure. He was walking towards to subway, obviously just leaving work. When he saw this, the secretary was angered, “I got Old Wei to call for him, and he still said he was not around? Isn’t he just leaving? I’m sure they met each other. Is Old Wei lying to me? Leader, leave this to me. I will go look for that Wei guy right now! Is he rebelling now?”
“No need.” Wang Shuixin said calmly.
“But this isn’t conducive!” The secretary had been following Wang Shuixin for many years, so he could speak freely with him. “He didn’t even come when you had summoned for him, and that Old Wei also covered up for him. If it happens once, it will happen twice. Your credibility……” He knew that Wang Shuixin viewed his own reputation and credibility highly. For a poet and a literary figure, these are characteristics that won’t be lacking in them. They all valued themselves highly.
Wang Shuixin finishing watering the plants and turned around to sit down. He said, “Deduct all of Old Wei’s overtime pay for this month.”
“I understand.” This was a good reason, but even if there wasn’t a reason, it’s always been this way. It was a practice set by Wang Shuixin that anyone else would get overtime pay, but only Editor Wei, even if he were to work overtime every day, would not received a single cent of overtime pay. There would always be a reason to deduct it off. As for the reason why, everyone had a tacit understanding. Wang Shuixin had wanted serve justice for his son. He was his only son, so he spoiled him badly. Even Wang Shuixin could not bear to hit his son, but Editor Wei had used a chair to beat and chased him away some years ago. Wang Shuixin did not take it up with Editor Wei back then, but from then on he had been slowly getting back at him.
“For Zhang Ye…..” Wang Shuixin said slowly, “Deduct all his bonuses.”
The secretary nodded, “But what reason do we give?”
Wang Shuixin said, “Didn’t he take a few days off?”
The secretary pondered, “But he also worked overtime for a lot of days. He was even recording the program on a few public holidays. If he took time off accordingly, then……”
“Who authorized his time off?” Wang Shuixin asked. “It was true that he took time off. If he took so many days of time off, then would there be a problem with deducting his bonuses?”
The secretary immediately said, “There’s no problem. I’ll process it tomorrow. I’m just afraid if Zhang Ye will flare up. After all, he is lacking in cash now. After donating the surgery fees and having borrowed money, if we deduct his bonus, he might… Besides, his program is currently very popular. What if…”
Wang Shuixin said, “Just do it according to my instructions!”
The secretary did not dare say more, “Yes.”
