Chapter 827



Fred: “?”

Fred frowned, but immediately smiled, “Lucy, what kind of joke is this?”

After he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the dismissal letter in his hand. “It’s not funny at all.”

But as soon as she spoke, she saw that the name on the letter was indeed Fred Long.

Fred’s jaw dropped.

He felt he must have read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.

For the first time, Fred felt he could no longer recognize his name.

How… How could this have happened?

Fred raised his head abruptly and looked at Lucy. “Have you made a mistake, why did I get fired, who dared to fire me?”

Lucy replied, “It was Jesse.”

Jesse turned out to be Fred’s direct superior. Fred used to share a good relationship with him. You could say that it was precisely because of Jesse that Fred was able to do whatever he wanted in the company. Therefore, he didn’t believe it at all. “That’s impossible! What’s the point, why would Jesse fire me?”

Lucy sighed. “The reason for the dismissal is written in the letter.”

Fred hastily opened the dismissal letter, in which he saw listed one after another the things he had done recently that violated the company’s principles. Everything was clearly listed.

Fred swallowed hard. Suddenly he looked at Lucy. “Where’s Jesse? I want to see him.”

Lucy, however, took a step back. “Jesse doesn’t want to see you, so please leave.”

After saying that, she paused and continued. “You said it yourself a moment ago: the company must have its reasons for firing an employee! And no matter who is fired, would you dare to sue NTT? NTT has the best team of lawyers in the world.

So, you should think that no one would dare to make trouble at NTT, right?”

I’m already showing you a lot of courtesy by personally handing you the termination letter. Don’t be embarrassed anymore.

If you don’t leave, I’ll have to call security. I don’t suppose you’d want security to drag you out, would you? That would be really inappropriate.

Oh, by the way, since you were fired for such major mistakes, we will state all of this in your employment file. This may have some impact on your job search in the future, but my dear friend, I think you can get over it, don’t you?”

All the phrases he uttered were the same ones Fred had said to Liam a moment ago, which made Fred feel as if someone had just slapped him on the cheek. He couldn’t say anything at all.

He looked at Lucy in surprise.

Lucy tilted her head and pointed outside. “This way, please.”

As the saying goes, everyone kicked the man as he lay on the ground. Everyone had long been unhappy with Fred’s behavior, so the moment she said those things, someone said, “By the way, when Liam was fired just now, he was asked not to take anything from the company. So, what about Mr. Long?”.

“Of course, he’s not allowed either,” Lucy replied with a serious expression. Then she looked at Liam. “Liam, since you’re still working with us, why don’t you keep an eye on Fred? Don’t let him take anything company related with him when he leaves.”

Liam, who was still dazed and shocked, only pulled himself together when he was spoken to. He was quick to reply, “Okay!”.

After speaking, he looked back at Lucy in surprise. “Does this mean I won’t be fired anymore?”

Lucy nodded. “Yes, Fred’s notice of termination was issued last night, so strictly speaking, he had already been fired by the company this morning. Therefore, the orders he issued are not valid.”

Liam’s eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited. “Okay!”

He looked directly at Fred. “Mr. Long…. Oh, no, wait, I mean Fred, could you leave the company immediately?”

Their roles had instantly reversed. From being someone repressed, Liam had become the one repressing his bully.

At this instant, Liam felt indescribably fantastic.

He was simply too lucky!

Who would have thought Fred would be wrong in this regard – Jesse was practically his lifeline!

“Liam, you’re so lucky!”

“Yes! You’re saved!”

Liam chatted and laughed with the others, totally relieved – he didn’t have to leave NTT anymore! He was so happy!

“I’ll invite them over for dinner later. Now, I have something important to do.”

After saying that, Liam led Fred to the latter’s office.

Fred’s office was separate from the rest. When he entered the office, he was already starting to collapse. His eyes were red and puffy.

After entering, he headed straight for the phone without hesitation.

Liam was quick to step forward to stop him. “What are you doing?”

“Get out! I’m going to ask Jesse what the hell is going on.”

Fred shoved Liam away. Liam frowned. He wanted to act decisively and call the security officers, but the phone call came out of the blue.

Fred shouted, “Jesse, you betrayed me! Why? I just want to know why.”

Liam, who wanted to stop him, paused slightly: he too wanted to know why.

Just as he thought about it, he heard Jesse reply, “Because you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have!”.

Had he offended someone he shouldn’t have?

Who was it?

As Fred thought about it, beside him, Liam stopped abruptly.Could it be that .
