“I know that Dash must not approve of my return.”
I said, “I don’t want you to come back either.”
Lin Fang’s face was hard to see and her lips were bitten white as she looked at me hurt.
“Why do you have to say that? Did you like me all wrong before?”
I was getting annoyed, I suspected that this woman couldn’t understand human words, I had said the same thing to her hundreds of times over and over again.
Did I like her before and that meant I would like her for the rest of my life? Am I going to continue to be nice to her even if she plays me and uses me? I couldn’t do it.
If it were usual, I might have been a little more polite to her, but today I really couldn’t do it. The matter of Chu Xiaoxiao gave me a pounding headache, and I was incredibly irritated inside.
I didn’t want to listen to her anymore, so I turned around and left.
Lin Fang was now in a hurry and followed me straight out, pulling me in the office lobby. The office lobby was full of people and everyone was looking at us curiously. I really had no choice but to stand still and whisper, “Let’s talk about it.”
“I won’t talk nonsense, please let me come back. I’m out of work now, and I know my colleagues are upset with me, but I’m really short of money, and I’ll make up for the mistakes I’ve made in the past by working well in the future.”
People whispered and I scanned the room and noticed the disgusted looks on everyone’s faces, it seemed most people didn’t want her back.
It was no wonder, I didn’t know this before, the company had a lot of opinions about Lin Fang up and down, she always failed to finish her work in time and asked others to help her finish it overtime, but she didn’t take out her share of the project bonus, people were too angry with her to say anything.
I have also led soldiers and I know very well that this is the most taboo thing in a team, always favouring an incapable person can even ruin a company.
For my sake, despite rejecting Lin Fang, no one spoke out against it directly.
“Personnel is not under my control, you go to the HR manager for an interview first.” I said.
It wasn’t that I was desperate, I just wanted to tell everyone that from now on Lin Fang was an ordinary person, and even if she came back, I wouldn’t give her any privileges.
But Lin Fang didn’t understand me at all, and once she heard me say that she should go to the personnel department, she became anxious then and grabbed my arm to prevent me from leaving.
“Please, let me stay. Even if you like someone else now, you can’t be so desperate to me. Zhang Chao, you can’t abandon me ……”
Why did she say this as if I was the scum who started the whole thing?
I saw that everyone was confused and gossipy, and knew that if I didn’t make this clear today, many rumors would surely spread throughout the company.
“You have something to say, there are also many advertising agencies in Tong City besides us, Lu Tong. Even if you can’t find a job in an advertising agency, Ju En has many positions for you. It’s true that Chen Yu Zhou is not a good person, but we can all see how much he likes you, and he won’t leave you alone.”
This was another reason why I didn’t dare to take Lin Fang.
With how good Chen Yu Zhou was to her, how could he let her fall to the point where she didn’t even have a job? I really didn’t know if Lin Fang had returned to Lu Tong with an agenda, what if she lied to me again?
Lu Tong: “Yes, Lin Fang, you stay and work with us, why don’t you go and work for Ju En? We’re just a small company and sometimes we don’t get paid on time, but Ju En is different, it’s a big group of companies and the pay is much better than ours.”
At the mention of this, Lin Fang was so excited that she could hardly breathe, and her tears fell down at once.
“Mr. Lu, I know you will definitely laugh at me, but can’t you still see that I am in this state now?”
Lin Fang unbuttoned her high collar again, I felt something was wrong just now, it wasn’t too cold yet and yet she was wearing a high collar shirt, she never used to love wearing this kind of clothes.
After she unbuttoned the collar, all of us there were stunned. A deep bruise on Lin Fang’s neck looked like it had been pinched so hard that it had turned purple, and many of us looked at it and unconsciously touched our own necks and chattered about it.
Although Lin Fang was poor, she had never been beaten before. She said a few days ago that Chen Ruhai wanted her to break off her relationship with Chen Yu Zhou and not give her a job. I thought it was a lie at the time, but could it be true?
I blurted out, “Who did that?!”
Lin Fang rubbed her neck, tears streaming down her face, and said, “I didn’t want to tell you, for fear of causing you trouble. It was Chen Ruhai who had someone beat him up. He felt that it was because of me that Chen Yu Zhou had made an enemy of you and offended Jun Ran, so he became very upset with me. He was also the one who wouldn’t let me work at Ju En, he wouldn’t let me be with Chen Yu Zhou, and he put the word out that no company in Tong City would be allowed to take me on, he just wanted to clean me up to show you Jun Ran a good time.”
I really wanted to tell Lin Fang that the Chen family didn’t want to show me any goodwill, they had gotten Thai a*sa*sins to kill me the other day.
Seeing that I didn’t reject her this time, Lin Fang said anxiously, “Now only Lu Tong and Junran will want me. I’m begging you, if Lu Tong doesn’t want me, can I go work at Junran? Even if it’s just as a receptionist or a small employee. Otherwise I’ll starve to death, and you know my brother still owes a lot of money.”
I thought to myself, “You still owe me 300,000, but I wouldn’t fall on my sword, asking Lin Fang for 300,000 at this time would be similar to killing her.
I said, “Junran has a personnel system, and I don’t own Lu Tong, so wherever you want to work is fine, but you have to go through the standard process.”
Lin Fang cried, “No one will want me that way, and I can’t afford to wait for the recruitment process.”
I frowned, “So what do you want me to do? To get you in through the back door? I’ve told you many times, I already have a girlfriend, I can’t take special care of you in the future, I don’t want people to get the wrong idea. You go through the normal process, and as long as you’re really capable, Junran or Ju En, they’ll definitely want you.”
I couldn’t bear to go on, after all, I had been the one who had liked the woman, and it still hurt me to see what she had become.
“Zhang Chao, you can’t just leave me alone, Xiao Xiao would help me if she knew, she would never watch me living on the streets.”
When it comes to Chu Xiaoxia, I can’t be cruel. Chu Xiaoxia says that she hates Lin Fang, but she is so kind, she definitely won’t watch Lin Fang suffer and not care.
I had to say, “You can stay for a month on a trial basis, and whether you can be transferred after a month depends on the opinion of the personnel department. If you still don’t agree, just leave.”
Lin Fang was obviously not very satisfied, but seeing that I left decisively, without any further discussion with her, she had no choice but to give up.
A month later, I would definitely save Chu Xiaoxiao from Chu Huaien’s hands. I couldn’t wait any longer, after a month, even if Chu Xiaoxia wanted to break up with me, I still had to see her.
Chu Xiaoxia is the most powerful designer in Lu Tong’s company, and with her not coming, several projects have lost their backbone, and these are the ones Chu Xiaoxia and Lu Tong went out to talk about together a few days ago. The company was in a mess, and there was a huge shortage of staff, so we had to forget about the conflict with Lin Fang for the time being and work together intensely.
