A few days after the change of guard, both Cen Ning and Liu Xin were transferred back to Hao Jie's team.
Since the incident happened under Xue Bing, everyone was curious and admired Cen Ning, but because she had been working with Hao Jie, everyone was afraid of Hao Jie, so they didn't dare to come and ask her anything.
And there was also an obvious gap between Liu Xin and Cen Ning. Unless it was necessary for work, the two would never speak a word.
For a few days, nothing happened, until Hao Jie gave the two of them a task.
Liu Xin did not receive the email due to a bug in the mailbox, which caused Liu Xin to be at a loss when Hao Jie asked the two for information. Later, Liu Xin was severely criticized.
After this incident, Liu Xin and Cen Ning quarreled in the office.
"You knew that there was a problem with my mailbox that day, and you knew that I didn't receive the teacher's message, why didn't you remind me?!" Liu Xin said sharply, "Just because I choked you before, you are so upset with me. Right, you want me to be scolded!"
It is difficult for Cen Ning to quarrel with others in public, but she has had a grudge against Liu Xin for a long time. Hearing her responsibility like this, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart: "Even if I know, so what, I won't say it." , won’t you go and find out what’s missing that day?”
Liu Xin: "It's obviously the same job, you will die if you tell me?"
"It's not my duty to tell you that."
"Are you still a colleague?"
Cen Ning looked at her incredulously: "Then are you a colleague again? If you still regarded me as your colleague, you wouldn't delete all the photos I was in charge of."
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed: "What are you talking about!" Cen Ning: "Didn't you delete Meng Peiyan's photo?"
"Ah..." Several other colleagues nearby had heard about this incident, and looked at Liu Xin in shock.
Liu Xin showed a little panic: "What! You're even pushing this kind of thing to me! What evidence do you have!"
"Liu Xin, is it interesting?" Cen Ning closed his eyes, his face was frighteningly pale because of the confrontation, "I don't know why I offended you so much and let you deal with me like this."
"I didn't do it at all! Don't put a label on me." Liu Xin looked at the colleague next to him, "I really didn't, why should she say that about me?"
The colleagues on the side looked at each other, but none of them said anything.
Liu Xin was flustered and embarrassed. She didn't expect that several colleagues who usually had a good relationship with her would stop speaking for her at such a critical time.
"Cen Ning, don't think that you can do whatever you want with someone covering your back!"
Cen Ning: "..."
A colleague: "Oh, okay, Liu Xin, please don't say a few words, we are all colleagues, so you should target Cen Ning everywhere."
Liu Xin: "Did you make a mistake, she is targeting me now!"
"Everyone, stop rushing like this."
"That's right, don't say anything—"
"What are you doing?" At this moment, Hao Jie let the outside come in.
Everyone fell silent and hurried back to their work stations.
With a cold face, Hao Jie suddenly pointed out: "Liu Xin, come to my office."
Liu Xin froze for a moment, looked at Cen Ning resentfully, and followed Hao Jie away.
Later, what Hao Jie and Liu Xin said in the office was unknown to everyone, but Liu Xin sat in his seat and cried without saying a word after he came out. In the following week, Liu Xin began to hand over work to others.
So everyone knew that Liu Xin was leaving, or in other words, was fired.
When Cen Ning heard the news, she was taken aback for a moment. She had thought about the possibility of arguing with Liu Xin, but she didn't expect that she would be directly fired by Hao Jie.
In the past few days, Liu Xin was listless like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, and when he saw Cen Ning, his eyes were also dull.
On the day Liu Xin resigned, Hao Jie talked about it at the meeting.
Liu Xin's resignation was his personal intention. Liu Xin has been with him for nearly a year, and he has repeatedly made mistakes in his work, and his camera quality has never met his requirements. Coupled with her temper, Hao Jie absolutely does not want to keep her around. In the team.
Cen Ning understood Hao Jie, she had been working under Hao Jie for a while, she knew how Liu Xin was doing, but she didn't expect Hao Jie to be so swift and resolute.
The Liu Xin incident passed so abruptly, and regarding the photo incident, Cen Ning had no choice but to let it go.
Being dismissed this time was considered the biggest punishment for Liu Xin.
However, she never expected that some bad rumors began to spread in the company because of this incident. At first, Cen Ning didn't pay attention to it, until one time when he passed by the tea room, he overheard the conversation of some people from other departments inside.
"Liu Xin under Mr. Hao Jie was fired, do you know that the reason is that she offended someone?"
"Oh, you're talking about offending that little assistant named Cen Ning, right? I heard it's just a college student who hasn't graduated yet."
"Don't underestimate her, there are people behind her, and Mr. Yang has to listen to them."
"Hey, in today's society, if you don't have a background, don't mess with someone with a background. This is too miserable for Liu Xin. I lost my job."
"It's too exaggerated. He didn't do anything, just smashed his job like that? Don't be too cruel, little girl."
…
For a moment, Cen Ning was in a daze.
She didn't understand why everyone suddenly pointed the spotlight at her. It was true that she hated Liu Xin, but Liu Xin's resignation had nothing to do with her in essence.
Clenching the cup tightly in his hand, Cen Ning stopped entering the tea room and turned back to his seat.
When working in the afternoon, Cen Ning was going to work with those other departments. Coincidentally, he happened to meet two of them in the tea room. But this time, the two of them treated her very well, and it could even be said that they listened to her carefully, as if they were afraid of making her unhappy.
In fact, it's not just these two colleagues, Cen Ning feels that since Liu Xin was fired, the people around her have become more cautious about her...
In the evening, Cen Ning went home.
Tonight, Aunt Chen boiled a big pot of soup and asked her and Wei Pinfang to come over for dinner.
"Ningning, I think you are still too thin, come on, eat more meat." Xu Wanying picked up a chopstick for her.
Cen Ning stared at the rice in the bowl with lowered eyes, but did not respond.
Xu Wanying: "Ningning?"
Wei Pinfang turned to look at her, and patted the back of her hand holding the spoon: "What are you thinking about?"
Cen Ning suddenly came back to his senses: "Huh?"
Wei Pinfang said dissatisfied: "Eat well, why are you so dumbfounded?"
Sitting across from him, Yan Xing Zhi also raised his eyes to look at Cen Ning, only to see that the latter's ears were slightly red and his eyes were flustered. He leaned back and took a sip of water from his glass.
Cen Ning: "I'm sorry... I was just in a trance."
Xu Wanying smiled: "It's okay, is it because the work of tutoring is too tiring recently?"
Cen Ning is not very good at lying, so he lowered his eyes to hide the guilt in his eyes: "It's okay."
Yan Guofeng: "Ning Ning, don't go if you are tired, and rest at home for a few days during the summer vacation."
Cen Ning shook his head: "Grandpa, I'm fine, I'm not tired."
Yan Guofeng: "You child, you are also stubborn."
…
After dinner, Cen Ning sat on the sofa in the living room, originally chatting with Yan Guofeng, but after Yan Guofeng returned to the room, she sat by herself. What happened in Tianying these two days made her very entangled, and some thoughts couldn't come out of her mind.
Tired of thinking, with dry mouth, Cen Ning reached for the glass on the tea table. As soon as he touched the wall of the cup, the back of his hand suddenly became hot.
Looking up, she saw a slender hand covering the back of her hand. The joints of that hand were tough and the lines were particularly beautiful.
And the owner of the hand was obviously going to grab the cup suddenly, and he didn't expect to bump into someone. After a pause, he said, "Mine."
Cen Ning shifted his gaze slightly, only to realize that the water glass he was drinking was a little to the left, and the one in her hand was what she said and what she did.
"Ah... good." Cen Ning let go of her hand suddenly, but the hand covering the back of her hand was still covered, warm, and she could still feel a thin callus on the pulp of her finger. The callus touched the visible blood vessels on the back of her hand. The skin trembled inexplicably.
Cen Ning: "..."
Two or three seconds later, Zhiyan let go of his hands leisurely, took the glass and glanced at her indifferently: "Is there a problem at work?"
Cen Ning's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly took a sip of water to suppress his shock, "Forget it...it's not worth it."
"Um?"
Cen Ning collected himself and looked at him seriously: "I want to resign."
In words and deeds: "Resign?"
"Um."
"Why."
Cen Ning hesitated for a moment, and said: "Everyone misunderstood me. Before that Liu Xin was fired by Mr. Hao Jie, the people in the company... thought it was because of me."
Words and deeds frowned: "So I made things difficult for you?"
Cen Ning shook his head: "Didn't embarrass me, but treated me very well, that's great, being kind is a bit... abnormal."
Clenching the cup tightly, Cen Ning mustered up a lot of courage and said, "Brother Xingzhi, everyone said that I have a backer and a background, so I'm not easy to mess with."
Slightly raising his eyebrows in words and deeds, he said as a matter of course: "Very sensible."
Cen Ning: "..."
Seeing her hesitation in words and deeds, she reacted: "You don't like it? Does it affect your work?"
Cen Ning said with difficulty: "I don't know how to stay calm when they're like this... I don't even know what I did wrong, and everyone stopped telling me."
Words and deeds slowly came to his senses: "So, you want to tell me that I have asked people to take care of you in one fell swoop many times, and even harmed you."
"No, no!" Cen Ning was frightened into a cold sweat by his words, "It's not your problem, because everything was fine in the beginning! It's because Liu Xin talked nonsense before that everyone knew about it. "
After finishing speaking, he glanced at him cautiously: "I don't blame you, I just told you that I want to resign..."
Words and deeds do not speak.
Cen Ning looked at his frighteningly cold side face, reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Brother... you won't be angry, will you?"
He stared sideways at her in words and deeds, but still didn't say a word.
Cen Ning was about to panic to death: "Don't be angry, I'm not that ignorant... I'm glad you helped me, really."
The pitiful and terrified little face, with a pair of big eyes trembling slightly, is funny and cute.
He was really frustrated with his words and deeds, but he liked Cen Ning's way too much, she apologized in fear, and by the way, with a little coquettish unconsciously, his unhappiness would be wiped out in an instant.
"Okay." The words and deeds eased his expression, "I didn't think about this matter."
Cen Ning: "No..."
"Just resign, just resign, such a place is not suitable for you."
Cen Ning: "I will definitely find a better one."
Words and deeds patted her on the head: "Don't worry, take your time."
"Um."
His brows were still furrowed, looking worried. Unable to hold back her words and deeds, she stretched out her hand and pinched her face that seemed to be able to pinch water: "You still have a face? When grandpa saw it, he thought you were being bullied."
Cen Ning was pinched in a daze, and looked up into his eyes, only to see that his face was normal, but there were sporadic smiles in his eyes, and there was a faint light in that smile, as if it contained all her emotions. figure.
Cen Ning: "... Oh."
The corners of his mouth slightly pursed in words and deeds, and he let go: "Go back to sleep early."
After all, he got up and went upstairs to the room.
Downstairs, Cen Ning sat on the sofa and raised his hand to press his cheek.
"Cen Ning, where's brother?" Yan Xingyao came in from outside.
Cen Ning: "Upstairs."
"Oh." Yan Xingyao turned around and was about to go upstairs, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Do you have a fever?"
Cen Ning: "Huh?"
"The face is so red."
Cen Ning was dumbfounded, and quickly got up: "No, it's just a little hot."
Yan Xingyao watched Cen Ning hurried out of the living room and walked towards the small building, he frowned: "Hot? Is the air conditioner not on?"
