Chapter 127 - 127 Some Are Happy, Some Are Sad



He smiled. “Let’s not talk about what hasn’t happened yet. Go back to work.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao turned around and left.

As soon as she returned to her desk, Meng Xi handed her dessert. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“I wanted to help you, but I haven’t passed my probation yet. I can’t go against him.”

Although she was not short of money or jobs.

However, she came to Sheng Heng because of a bet she made with her friend. She could not admit defeat because of someone else.

“I know.” Lin Jiao, who did not care, smiled and said, “Thank you for the cake.”

When she smiled, it was as if a valley of peach blossoms were blooming in unison, dazzling people.

Just looking at her, Meng Xi seemed to smell a fresh fragrance.

She smiled back and started talking about what just happened. “Will Pan Jun be fired because of that?”

“He will.”

“What about the home-wrecker?”

“Same.” Lin Jiao typed on the keyboard. “His wife came prepared. She’ll definitely blow things up.”

Meng Xi was looking forward to what would happen next.

She opened Sheng Heng’s group chat and scrolled through it a few times before finally seeing someone mention this.

“They said that the other departments received the photos as well.”

“His wife probably made a lot of copies of those photos.”

“What a spectacular show!” Immersed in gossip, the colleagues who were in no mood to work started discussing again.

Suddenly, someone said, “Shush! They’re coming out.” With that, all the eyes were fixed at the manager’s office.

Pan Jun dragged his wife out.

In just a short period of time, he seemed to have aged a lot. He looked gloomy and tired.

“What are you all looking at?” He glared at the employees at the desk and said in a deep voice, “Continue working and stop poking your nose into my business.”

“Stop putting on airs.” His wife sneered. “You’re almost at the end of your career as a manager. Who will listen to you?”

“Shut up!”

“You have the gut to do it, but why don’t you have the gut to admit it?”

Pan Jun, who was extremely angry, covered her mouth and dragged her away as quickly as possible, thinking with his wife gone, this matter would automatically come to an end.

However, when he returned, Qu Shao, who had received the news, appeared in his office with the documents.

At this moment, Pan Jun’s mind was buzzing.

He wanted to find explanations to get away with it, but when he met Qu Shao’s eyes, he laughed awkwardly and could not speak a word.

When Qu Shao finished what he had to say, Pan Jun packed his things and went to the human resources department to resign.

Some people were happy while others were sad.

The sad one was gone while the happy one was called into Qu Shao’s office. “Who do you think is suitable to be the assistant manager?”

Wu Xiuwen said honestly, “I’m afraid Qin Jiao is not qualified yet to be promoted to that position.”

“I didn’t ask you to promote her.”

Qu Shao decided to make things clear. “Whether she gets promoted or not will depend on her performance and the normal process.”

Wu Xiuwen’s impression of Lin Jiao rose again.

He was silent for a moment. “I think Zheng Yi is not bad. He’s very serious about his work.”

“What’s his current position?”

“Supervisor.”

“He sounds like a good candidate.” Qu Shao believed in his judgment. He put out the cigarette in his hand and said, “Finish the handover procedure as soon as possible.”

“Alright.” Wu Xiuwen sent him off.

He stood in front of his desk and coughed twice before announcing the news. “From today onwards, Zheng Yi will be promoted to the deputy manager of the planning department!”

Zheng Yi was stunned by the surprise.

The applause around him pulled him back from his thoughts and reminded him that he was not dreaming.

Under Wu Xiuwen’s signal, he walked forward with a reserved smile. “Thank you for the promotion.”

“Keep working hard in the future.”

“I will.”

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Wu Xiuwen did not intend to let him improvise a speech. “The supervisor position is empty now. Whoever wants to give it a try can write a self-recommendation letter and hand it in to Manager Zheng before Friday.”

“No problem!”

“Old Wu, now that you are promoted to the manager, shouldn’t you treat everyone to a dinner to celebrate?”

“And Manager Zheng, you have to treat us too!”

“I want to eat hotpot.”

“Ditto.”

Wu Xiuwen had this thought in mind already.

He would treat the entire department to a meal tomorrow evening while Zheng Yi would do so on Thursday.

“I’ll go down with Manager Zheng.” He ended the topic. “You guys go ahead and get busy.”

Seeing him walk out with Zheng Yi, many staff started to write a self-recommendation letter and decided to fight for the position of supervisor.

Meng Xi looked away with disinterest.

She picked up the mirror to touch up her makeup and looked at Lin Jiao from the corner of her eye. “Aren’t you going to write one?”

“No.” She just wanted to climb the ladder step by step and pave a good foundation for herself.

As Lin Jiao replied to Pei Yilan’s message, she asked, “Are you ready to write your very first proposal?”

“Pretty much.”

“Then try your best to give it to Brother Zheng before Thursday.”

Meng Xi suddenly sighed. “To be honest, I’m not very confident.”

“You haven’t even done it yet.”

“But I don’t even know where to start.”

Lin Jiao gave her some guidance again.

She did not go into too much detail and only brought up a few key points for Meng Xi to think about. “Organize your thoughts first.”

“I’ll try.”

Meng Xi had only typed two lines the entire morning and was already exhausted. “Senior, are you going to the cafeteria?”

“I’m going out to eat with a friend.”

“Eat what?”

“I’m not sure yet.” Lin Jiao closed her laptop and went to the ground floor to meet Pei Yilan.

They had endless things to talk about when they were together, such as Pan Jun and Jiang Ye.

“I didn’t even get to kiss him in the hot spring.” Pei Yilan held Lin Jiao’s hand and walked into the rice noodle shop.

“He dodged it?”

“No.” She wiped the table. “There were too many people around. I didn’t get a chance.”

“Then is there anything different about him this time?”

“He seems to have become shy.”

“Why do you say that?” After ordering, Lin Jiao held the lemonade water the waiter placed on the table.

“He rarely looked at me when I was in my swimsuit. And he didn’t let me get too close.”

“Did he blush?”

“Yes.” Pei Yilan recalled. “But I think that was because of the hot spring.”

Lin Jiao couldn’t figure it out either.

She rubbed the glass with her fingers. “Ask Qian Yue on Saturday to help you analyze his thought process.”

“Yes.” Pei Yilan had the same idea.

She took two sips of water and sighed. “On Uncle’s birthday, I can’t bring him along.”

“Why is that?”

“He has a full schedule this week.”

Lin Jiao raised an eyebrow. “Chu Yuzhou can keep you company too.” She tore open the wrapper of the chopsticks. “He broke up with Xia Nanrui last week.”

“He was dumped?”

“No.”

After hearing the whole story, Pei Yilan shook her head and clicked her tongue. “Naive girls are more suitable for him.”
