Le Tong's unauthorized leave issue hasn't been brought up again by Ji Rui these past few days, it seems to have just fizzled out.
Coincidentally, the finance department has been working on the payroll reports these days. While having lunch, Le Tong sat with Aunt Huang and a few others, chatting about salaries. Le Tong tentatively inquired, and the young girl handling the reports told her that her salary had increased by several hundred yuan compared to the previous month, plus there were two transfers to her account from the president and Special Assistant Yang made in a personal capacity.
It seems Ji Rui merely wanted to scare her a bit about the leave and didn't intend to really pursue it. Moreover, he even transferred a substantial amount for breakfast money as promised.
Le Tong, the little money grubber, was overjoyed upon learning that her salary would safely land into her pocket in a few days, and she quietly made spending plans.
