I instinctively didn’t want to think about some of the unspoken rules behind the workplace that seek to achieve the goal by any means necessary, so I had no choice but to change the subject with a smile: “Just sign the contract, I’m really afraid of delaying your performance.”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yi's smile faded slightly and she sighed softly. She said: "The contract has been finalized and signed, but the minister's anger has not subsided. As for the year-end dividends, I don't even dare to do so." think."
I was about to speak out, but when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhou Yu walking over.
Yang Yi followed my line of sight and turned his head, and we both called him "Minister."
Zhou Yu nodded, and then asked Yang Yi: "How are the customers in Japan doing?"
Yang Yi quickly replied: "I just received an email from the other party withdrawing the complaint and agreed on a time for signing the contract. I will handle it as soon as possible."
Zhou Yu hummed: "That's good. Don't affect the reputation of the whole company because of such unprofessional behavior in the future."
Yang Yi responded awkwardly.
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he turned to leave, but suddenly turned around, looked at me and said, "Liang Zijin, your clothes are fine for school, but now you have entered the workplace, and here is Mr. Luo, this is the translation department. Don’t wear clothes like this to the company again.”
I was so nervous that I immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Regarding the incident where I left several Japanese clients in a hotel and went home by myself, there were different opinions in the translation department.
To put it nicely, I was young and ignorant, and my drinking capacity was not good enough.
To put it more harshly, he directly called me a scheming bitch who wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Yang Yi.
And I have a summary of my mistake this time, that is, my head was caught by the door, my heart was at home, and I forgot to take it out.
It's no wonder that everyone can't imagine this kind of thing. If I hadn't experienced it personally, I would probably have said, "My brain is sick."
Fortunately, Wang Huining helped me out, and I was able to make amends, rein in the situation, and even, to a certain extent, turn the tide.
Many senior people in the translation department praised me for handling the situation well. Of course, some praised me and some criticized me.
Dong Jianan told me privately: "Zijin, you don't even know what those people are saying about you behind your back."
My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but ask aloud: "What did they say about me?"
Dong Jianan frowned and replied: "The day after you went to accompany the Japanese client, didn't you come to work wearing sportswear and with swollen eyes? But they insisted that you didn't go home at night and slept with the Japanese client!"
In fact, I had already guessed Dong Jianan's words halfway through, but after listening to it, I was still inevitably angry.
As an outsider, Dong Jianan was aggrieved, and kept complaining to me: "What do you think these people are thinking? After all, they are all highly educated, so why do they all have evil intentions?"
I tried my best to be calm, but I couldn't help but say: "We don't do anything bad, and we are open-minded in our hearts. I guess those who say these things have shadows in their hearts."
Dong Jianan saw that I could still fight back sharply and knew that I was fine.
Patting me on the shoulder, she said helplessly: "I've heard that the workplace is like a battlefield. These rumors and rumors are like invisible bullets. Sometimes they are unavoidable and have to be tolerated."
I smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. Thousands of arrows can pierce your heart. Just get used to it."
A few days later, due to the successful signing of the contract with the Japanese client, all the expenses I had spent on them were reimbursed as normal.
The first work crisis after joining the company was resolved in this way. I took advantage of the opportunity to pay back the money and invited Kuang Yiyang, Xu Lu and Dong Jianan to have a meal together.
This time coincided with my first salary payment. Before coming to Luo's, I had only heard that Luo's salary was generous, but I didn't expect that even interns could get so much.
After I had money, I decisively booked a famous restaurant in the night city. The per capita consumption here was over a thousand dollars. Although it would cost more than half of my salary, in order to get a good start, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
On Friday night, after get off work, Dong Jianan and I came to the restaurant together.
After reporting our names to the front desk, the clerk led us to the seats we had reserved.
The waiter came over, brought us two glasses of water, and asked us if we wanted to order now.
I smiled and replied: "Wait a minute, there are still friends who haven't arrived yet."
The waiter responded politely, then turned and left.
Dong Jianan picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then whispered: "Well... the water in this restaurant is sweet."
I looked at Dong Jianan across from me and replied with a smile: "You are a 'fascist for foreigners'. Why is it that all the water is white water? Is the water here better than the water outside?"
Dong Jianan said with a serious expression on his face: "If you don't believe me, try it."
I picked up the thick crystal cup and took a sip. I don't know if it was influenced by Dong Jianan, but I really tasted a hint of sweetness.
When Dong Jianan saw that I didn't speak immediately, she immediately stared and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you, it's really sweet."
While waiting for Kuang Yiyang and Xu Lu, Dong Jianan and I kept chatting.
Not long after, Dong Jianan suddenly looked behind me with a slightly surprised expression.
I thought it was Kuang Yiyang and Xu Lu who were coming, so I turned around and saw Kitty Qiao Kelly in a tight skirt and big sunglasses not far from the door.
Dong Jianan said aloud: "It's the assistant to the president, should we go over and say hello?"
When I first entered Luo's, Kitty took me to the apartment herself. She took good care of me. Although we didn't interact much after that, I still thanked her in my heart and wanted to say hello to her. .
But after Kitty came in, she said a few words to the waiter, and then the waiter reached out and made a gesture of invitation, leading her in my direction, but she walked towards the window through a hollow creative wall. go.
Dong Jianan and I looked at Kitty intently. Because there was something between us, Kitty didn't notice Dong Jianan and me from the beginning to the end.
Finally Kitty sat diagonally across from me, and there was already someone waiting at that seat.
The man had his hair slicked back, wore a hat and big sunglasses, covering almost two-thirds of his small face, only revealing his pointed chin.
Most people would not be able to recognize the woman's appearance at all, but I recognized it at a glance... Specifically, I recognized her wig.
This person was none other than Li Yanshu. Because I had met her in an elevator before, I was extremely impressed by her short hair.
But... why does Li Yanshu want to see Kitty
Dong Jianan's eyesight is very poor. Each of his eyes has a thousand degrees of astigmatism.
Once upon a time in school, she wore heavy glasses. Now that she is at work, she wears two contact lenses, but she is still squinting and cannot see Li Yanshu clearly.
She asked aloud: "Who did Assistant Qiao make an appointment to meet? Is it someone from our company?"
I couldn't directly say it was Li Yanshu, for fear of being asked more gossip, so I had to reply against my will: "I can't see clearly."
While we were looking at each other attentively, Xu Lu suddenly came out from behind me and patted my shoulder. I was so startled that I nearly jumped up on the spot.
Looking sideways, Xu Lu, who was wearing ol' attire, and Kuang Yiyang, who was wearing casual sports, were standing together.
Kuang Yiyang looked at me, smiled, and called out: "Senior."
Xu Lu spoke up: "What are you two looking at? Are you looking at it so seriously?"
Dong Jianan hissed, and then said: "I'm looking at the assistant to the president of our company."
After saying that, Dong Jianan pointed in Kitty's direction.
I also took a look. Because of my good eyesight, I could see the sinking corners of Li Yanshu's lips from such a long distance.
She crossed her arms, and although she was wearing sunglasses, I knew that the eyes behind her sunglasses must be displeased.
When Xu Lu saw that Dong Jianan and I were both gossiping, she immediately put down her bag and said carelessly: "Hey, you two are so far apart, what can you hear? Can you just guess?"
After that, she stepped towards the row of seats opposite.
I was afraid that Xu Lu would stir up trouble, so I lowered my voice and said, "What are you doing?"
Xu Lu turned around and winked at me as she walked, and replied with a smile: "Eavesdropping."
I frowned slightly and thought to myself, maybe this is an eavesdropping situation, maybe it's a prison situation.
Kuang Yiyang said with a smile: "Senior Xu Lu is really fast at work."
I replied aloud: "I'm afraid she'll get angry and burn herself."
Dong Jianan also had an ambiguous expression on his face and whispered, "You won't be discovered, right?"
"Probably not. Assistant Qiao doesn't know Luzi."
In the next few minutes, Kuang Yiyang and I sat together, together with Dong Jianan opposite, tilting our heads and looking diagonally across.
Xu Lu was brave and sat directly next to Kitty and Li Yanshu. During this period, a waiter came to serve him. He didn't know what Xu Lu said to him, but he dismissed him without leaving a trace.
Not long after, from my direction, I saw Li Yanshu opening her lips, saying something, then picking up the handbag on the table and leaving angrily.
I was surprised, not only because of this strange meeting between Kitty and Li Yanshu, but also because they met for such a short time, but the result was obviously that they broke up on bad terms.
Shortly after Li Yanshu left, Kitty also left wearing sunglasses.
After both of them left, Xu Lu couldn't wait to stand up. She almost ran all the way over on her high heels, with uncontrollable excitement on her face.
After she came back, she sat in front of me, her eyes widened, and she said mysteriously: "Hey, hey, guess what exciting thing I just heard?"
Dong Jianan said: "Don't be too pretentious. We just said it, and we relied on guessing."
Xu Lu looked at me and Dong Jianan and almost slammed the table with excitement. She suddenly came forward and lowered her voice and said, "You said that the one in the red skirt is your president's assistant, right?"
Dong Jianan hummed: "During the previous interview, she called Zijin's name in the corridor. You have seen her before."
Xu Lu subconsciously replied: "Then how could I remember... Hey, don't interrupt me. What I want to say is that she is in big trouble!"
Xu Lu spoke loudly, while Dong Jianan and I stared at the same time.
I quickly asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Xu Lu's eyes were full of gossip, and she spoke out as if telling a story: "I heard from another woman that your president's assistant secretly hooked up with your president, but the assistant refused to admit it and said no."
"Ah? It's true... can't it?" Dong Jianan was really shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
My heart skipped a beat, and I vaguely felt something was wrong.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Lu continued: "Look, you still don't believe what I heard with my own ears? My girlfriend even told me the date, time, and time. If the evidence wasn't solid, how dare you swear so confidently? ?"
At this point, it finally dawned on me.
At the hot spring club before, Li Yanshu called me and asked me what my name was. I was smart and said my last name was Qiao.
The only person named Qiao who works as an assistant to Luo Xiangdong is Qiao Kelly.
