"Actually, I was the one who was with Mr. Luo at the hot spring hotel that time. Li Yanshu called and Mr. Luo asked me to get rid of him. I pretended to be his assistant and said he was in a meeting. Before Li Yanshu hung up the phone, he asked me who I was. I really just said it casually. I said my surname was Qiao. I didn’t expect that I would stir up such a big mess and implicate you to the point of being fired. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry..."
While I was talking, tears were already falling from my eyes, and I couldn’t tell whether it was grievance or regret.
I really hate that I was so smart back then, and I also hate that I was so cowardly later that I didn't dare to stand up and take responsibility for myself. Now that it has led to such a result, I really have no face to face Kitty.
Kitty glanced at me in the rearview mirror and saw that I was crying. She held the steering wheel with one hand, took out a box of tissues and handed it to me, saying, "Don't cry, I already knew it."
"I… "
I was stunned for a moment and looked up at Kitty in front of me with a confused look on my face.
She said she had known it for a long time. What did she know
Kitty said calmly: "As early as when Li Yanshu found me for the first time, I felt strange. She swore that I had seduced the boss, and she even specified the time and place clearly. I also thought she was not that boring. So I asked someone to investigate, and later I found out that you happened to be at the hot spring hotel that day.”
"From the day you first came to Luo's for an interview, the boss has deliberately taken special care of you, so I guess your relationship with the boss must be extraordinary. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the boss to tell me personally and ask me to go and get rid of him. Li Yanshu, and I didn’t even mention a single word about you.”
"So... you always knew that you were taking the blame for me?" I asked in disbelief with red eyes.
Kitty looked calm and replied aloud: "There is no scapegoating, I just try my best to do the things assigned by the boss."
I said, "Then Luo Xiangdong just let you be misunderstood by the media and the public. Why didn't he think of a way to suppress it?"
Kitty turned a corner at the intersection ahead, and she replied loudly: "The boss asked me to talk to Li Yanshu, but Li Yanshu wanted the name but not the money. She said that it was okay to break up, but she had to make the best use of everything, that is, take this time. Let the scandal spread."
When I heard this, my eyes suddenly widened and I could hardly believe it.
It turns out that the sadistic drama that has been hyped on the Internet for so long is just a farce directed and acted by Lee Yeon Soo.
I was speechless for a long time. Kitty glanced at me in the rearview mirror, and then said: "I never thought you would come to me, especially since I am no longer an employee of Luo's, nor an assistant to the president. Most people just You would stay away from me, but you even came to my door. Aren't you afraid that others would talk about you behind your back?"
I raised my eyes and replied: "I only blame myself for why I have to implicate you. Now that you have lost such a good job, I don't know what I can do to make it up to you."
This is what I mean, but I'm worried that Kitty may not believe it.
Kitty replied in a calm voice: "You don't have to feel indebted. Before today, I have been Luo's assistant to the president. I make the best use of everything and people fulfill their responsibilities. This is the same as using money to eliminate disasters for others. I will do my best to handle the things assigned by my boss, so that I can stabilize my position.”
Hearing this, I felt distressed inexplicably, and I had the illusion that a cunning rabbit would die and be cooked by a lackey.
I asked aloud: "But now that he has fired you, what will you do in the future?"
Kitty seemed to slightly raise the corners of her lips, and she replied with a faint smile: "I have worked at Luo's for six years. Before I left, you were the only one worried about what I would do in the future... I shouldn't have said this to anyone. , but today I am also willful. Let me tell you, the boss is actually very nice. He has already written a recommendation letter for me to Fangda Group, so I will not be unemployed. "
I had never thought of such a turn of events, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in my eyes.
Kitty drove the car to a high-end community in the city. I had seen in the online news that this place was Wu Yaohui's home.
After the car stopped, I came down holding the carton.
Kitty said to me: "If you are not in a hurry to go back, would you like to go up and sit for a while?"
I shook my head subconsciously and replied aloud: "No."
Handing the carton to Kitty, after a pause, I asked tentatively: "Assistant Qiao... is it not affected between you and your boyfriend?"
Previously, reporters photographed the two quarreling while eating.
Hearing this, Kitty replied: "There is no problem with the relationship between us. It's just that there was a fierce quarrel online before. His parents heard about it and were a little unhappy. He has explained it later. Things like scandals, If it is passed around, it will disappear. It cannot be true or false, and it cannot be true. It will be fine. "
I was completely touched by Kitty's generosity. It stands to reason that even if she loses one job and has another one, her boyfriend can reconcile after a fight, but after all, he is under such great pressure. , being poked in the spine and scolded by many strangers.
But she didn't complain at all to me, and even comforted me not to take it personally.
My heart...
My throat was choked, tears gathered in my eyes, and I couldn't help but choked and said: "Assistant Qiao, I don't know what to say. Anyway, I owe you a favor this time. If you need me to help you with anything in the future, as long as Just tell me, Liang Zijin will definitely help you!"
Kitty raised the corners of her lips and replied with a smile: "Okay, I will remember what you said."
Before I said goodbye to Kitty, Kitty also spoke for Luo Xiangdong, saying that he was protecting me behind my back and told me to do a good job at Luo's in the future.
I really think Kitty is a good person. Although she will no longer work at Luo's, we are still friends.
On the way back to Luo's by car, I looked sideways out the window and fell into my own thoughts.
Luo Xiangdong said that the dean of our department asked him to take care of me. I also contacted the dean about this, and the dean said that this was indeed the case.
I am naturally grateful to be able to enter the Luo family, but now I know too many secrets about Luo Xiangdong, and I promised him that they will never be leaked. These secrets almost make me breathless.
Especially when Xu Lu, Dong Jianan and others asked me about Luo Xiangdong, I no longer pretended not to know once or twice.
On the one hand, I am Luo Xiangdong, and on the other hand, I am a friend. I feel that I have deceived the latter for the sake of the former.
I didn't like this feeling, but I couldn't get out, so I had to sink deeper and deeper into it.
Fortunately, all the troubles have come to an end now. I just hope that my future life in Luo's will be peaceful.
When I returned to Luo's Translation Department, I was keenly aware that everyone looked at me with meaningful eyes.
Especially Song Mo and Sun Kexin, their expressions when they looked at me were obviously aggravating.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked back to my seat, Wang Huining stood up immediately, frowned, and said to me in a low voice: "Where have you gone?"
I paused and replied truthfully: "I'm going to see Assistant Qiao off."
Hearing this, the expression on Wang Huining's face was also strange.
But a few seconds later, she lowered her voice again and said: "Not long after you left, the minister came to find you. You didn't bring your phone. I don't know how long it took for you to come back. I can't even help you carry it."
When I heard this, I knew something was wrong.
"The minister said that when you come back, he will ask you to go to her office."
There was a blur of anger and sympathy in Wang Huining's eyes. I sighed secretly. I was really getting more and more afraid of something. Before, I thought it would be calm.
"I went..."
Wang Huining looked at my dejected look and said in a low voice: "Go, I'll ask Buddha for blessings for you."
It's useless to beg anyone now. Few of the people who were called to the office alone by the minister were praised, and those who came out of that office would lose half their lives or even shed a layer of their skin.
Based on the experience summed up with blood by the seniors, they said that Zhou Yu particularly hated it when she criticized someone and the other person continued to quibble.
Therefore, there is a popular saying in our translation department privately, which is: I would rather visit the Palace of the King of Hell than argue with Zhou Yu.
I recited this sentence silently in my mind, thinking that no matter how Zhou Yu scolded me for a while, I would just keep silent.
When I came to the office door, I took a deep breath. The long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain, and I quickly knocked on the door.
"Come in." Zhou Yu's voice came from inside the door.
I pushed open the door. From the first second I saw Zhou Yu, I immediately bent down and shouted respectfully: "Minister, you are looking for me."
To avoid hitting people with smiling faces, I must first have a good attitude.
Zhou Yu hummed, raised his eyes and said, "Close the door."
There was a thump in my heart, and various scenes of being killed by Zhou Yu in the office filled my mind.
After closing the door, I hesitated whether to move forward or whether I would be scolded standing or sitting down.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhou Yu say: "Liang Zijin, you have performed well recently."
What
My eyes suddenly widened slightly, wondering if I had heard wrongly.
Zhou Yu looked calm and said directly: "You have been working hard and don't take credit, but I know that you help many people translate documents and materials, and you often go to work early or stay late and work overtime. You work harder than many interns in the same period. ”
Hearing this, I raised the corners of my lips, smiled stiffly, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing. To be honest, I just came to the translation department. Everyone has their own things to be busy with. I want to learn more, so I Rush to help the seniors do what they can."
Zhou Yu smiled at me and said, "Liang Zijin, do a good job in the translation department, I'm optimistic about you."
I instantly felt that the whole world became brighter. It turned out that being praised by Zhou Yu was such a wonderful feeling.
Zhou Yu casually took out a piece of information from the file box, handed it to me and said, "Please help me send this information to the top floor to Mr. Luo."
When I heard the word Mr. Luo, my wonderful mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Looking at Zhou Yu's raised hand, I had no choice but to walk over, take the file, and asked softly: "Can I just give it to Assistant General Luo?"
Zhou Yu replied: "Give it to Mr. Luo personally. This document is very important."
