Chapter 43: Suffering, often because of the neighbor's axe, grass and trees
"Do you know about Kitty?" Shirley asked.
KittyοΌ Justin's secretary? Aimee remembered at once. yes, it seems that I haven't seen her in the past few days, and besides, it seems that Justin has changed secretaries? Where did she go?
"Did you know Kitty likes Justin?" Shirley asked.
"Not too clear." Although Aimee felt it, she never noticed it, and since Kitty joined the company, she has been in Shanghai, and she hasn't even met Kitty much, so she usually doesn't think of her at all.
"Kitty likes Justin, at least it's something that our entire business department knows." Shirley began to speak.
Kitty fell in love with Justin at first sight. This little girl who has just come out of work actually met such a charming single handsome boss as soon as she came up, and she didn't know how to express her love every day. At first, he brought flowers to Justin's table every day, but Justin was allergic to pollen and sneezed constantly, so he directly asked Kitty to take out the flowers.
She started to bring fruit to Justin every day, cut it very carefully, packed it in a small lunch box, and brought it back to Justin. At first, Justin thought it was provided by the company's canteen, and ate casually for a while, until one day he discussed the company's expenses with the personnel administration department, and asked how much the fruit platter in the canteen cost, everyone covered their mouths and snickered, he felt strange, Lei Yueer secretly told him the origin of the fruit platter, so scared that he told Kitty after the meeting that he was also allergic to fruits.
Ning Qian couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she could imagine Justin's frightened appearance when she didn't dare to see flowers and touch fruits anymore.
"The little girl is really attentive!" She understands very well the kind of helplessness that wants to be good to someone, but doesn't know where to start, just like when she first joined the platinum boat, she saw the daylight and wanted to be good to him, but she didn't know what to do for him. Kitty is much better than herself, not only has a clear goal and a method, but also can adjust and persist according to the actual situation.
Flowers can't work, fruit can't work, so what does Justin want? Kitty found a problem: he actually went to Shanghai for the Mid-Autumn Festival! When can't he go to Shanghai, and who will go on a business trip on this holiday? Isn't this a clear idea of going to Aimee? What's more, he also asked her to book Sheraton's restaurants on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, hotels, restaurants, Mid-Autumn Festival...... What does such romance mean? Kitty made a point of explaining that the guests were Mr. Justin and Miss Aimee, and this arrangement was very important, so she would call again when they arrived. That night, she called the restaurant again, and the reply was: Yes, Mr. Justin and Miss Aimee have arrived.
On the day Aimee came back from Shanghai, Kitty went out of her way to check: Justin's flight was actually the same flight as Aimee! They also went back to the company together! What does this mean? That day, when she saw Aimee and Justin in his office, fist to fist, she was completely devastated......
During her lunch break, she stood in front of Justin's office with a large bottle of dish soap and started drinking it. The office was almost empty, and Justin was engrossed in his work at the computer, not noticing Kitty standing in the doorway. After she drank most of it, she saw that Justin was not moving, she was very unwilling, walked into the office, and began to crusade against him hoarsely and tearfully.
"Why do you want to like her? You went to accompany her for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you went to Shanghai to pick her up, and you held hands with her...... I tell you, I took all the things on your table that had anything to do with her, and I wanted her to disappear from your presence! But you just can't do it. I do so much in front of you and for you every day, you don't care, she hasn't done anything for you, but you always protect her! Why, why? She cried as she spoke, and continued to drink dish soap. Bubbles kept popping out of her mouth and nostrils, and the scene was horrific and funny. Justin came to his senses, rushed up, snatched the dish soap from her hand, threw it on the ground, and shouted at the doorman: "Call the emergency number!" β
Mr. Lei dealt with this matter, Kitty's parents took her back to her hometown, saying that they would never dare to let her stay alone in Guangzhou again.
Aimee listened to this thrilling story and was inexplicably sad: not only for Kitty, but also for herself.
It wasn't Justin or me who hurt Kitty at all, but Kitty's own imagination. In fact, nothing happened, but for her, the picture she imagined was the fact that she was deeply stabbed. Perhaps, Marcus and his ex-girlfriend didn't happen anything, but I, who had low self-esteem, also used an imaginary picture to stab myself in the heart, letting myself cry and bleed, which seemed very tragic and noble.
Yes, in Kitty's eyes, Aimee is an unattainable and uncompetitive opponent; In Aimee's eyes, Marcus's ex-girlfriend, why not?
The difference is just to withdraw in discouragement, or to give up willingly.
Shirley saw that Ning Qian was silent, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there really nothing special about you and Justin?" β
"Of course not! We are a normal colleague relationship, and there is absolutely no ambiguity. "Aimee is really scared, I obviously have a righteous and righteous face, half of my boyfriend didn't catch it, this scandal gossip has come and gone, is it wronged?
"What about the little waterwheel and the little clay sculpture on Justin's desk? Kitty said she saw these small items on Justin's desk and asked Justin where he got them, and Justin said you gave them to her, and she took them all to her desk. "How can there be such a thing? Aimee thought about it seriously: the small water wheel, it should be when Gupta asked the department manager to do sales, Justin and Aimee were in a group, they went to develop a five-star hotel, after talking about cooperation, they happened to see that the hotel mall had this for sale, Justin thought it was very good-looking, and bought one for Aimee, Aimee felt that he couldn't accept his gift in vain, and immediately bought one and sent it back to Justin. The small clay sculpture happened to pass by a roadside stall when she was looking at the market in Shanghai, and Aimee bought two of them and gave one to Justin. She barely remembered either of them.
Alas, the blindness of love will make the neighbors leave axes, plants and trees all soldiers.
Except for Aimee, who has been only concerned about business trips and meetings, I don't know, in fact, Kitty's matter has long been winged, and even spread to the platinum boat. Director Xu couldn't help but call: "Xiao Ning, I think your business manager is a talent, and it's good anywhere, you really should think about it!" Why don't I be a matchmaker? "Oh my God, Director Xu, who warned the General Office of the General Assembly to protect against letting people introduce Xiao Ning to his partner, is now planning to go into battle to be my matchmaker in person, how difficult it is for me to get married! Xiao Ning began to have a strong sense of crisis.
Marriage is always necessary, but why, until now, there is not even half a person who is willing to marry me? What's wrong with me? It's okay to think about anything else, but when I think about my boyfriend and getting married, my head hurts...... Could it be that I don't have talent for falling in love?
There is talent in talking about customers: for example, Tim finally came to visit the factory, the whole process was very smooth, and Tim has always praised Lipton's team for being neat, young and energetic. Edward's presentation and introduction of Lipton Iced Tea around the world, through different flavors and different brewing methods, has brought countless happy moments to many consumers, which impressed Tim. He said that in the past, he had always thought that the iced tea served by Chaoque was just a recipe, but here in Lipton, he saw the vitality that the brand brought to consumers.
Tim was going to visit another factory in Dongguan next, and Aimee had already arranged for the company's driver to drive him there, but seeing the heavy rain, he was worried that if there was any situation on the road, it would be difficult to deal with and explain, so he simply accompanied Tim and sent him there. The time on the road is long, and in addition to talking about work, even Tim's family, children, what kind of tea he likes to drink, etc., everything is thoroughly understood. By the time Aimee handed Tim over to the next factory owner, Tim was already a friend of her.
As soon as Tim returned to Shanghai, he put Youjia and Lipton into the system of alternative suppliers and actively began to promote blind testing. Marcus heard the news and knew it had to be Aimee's masterpiece. She always has a way that others can't think of and a keen and controlled key detail for everything in her work, every department, and even every person, and even when she only sees me as Shengbai Purchasing, she is always very thoughtful and considerate everywhere, switching to a love object, but there is no signal, completely extinguished? I can only say that she really doesn't love me......
Marcus didn't immediately agree to get back together with his ex-girlfriend. He was still waiting for Aimee, even if there was a faint light in the dark, he would rush over immediately, but there was no ......
The Guojian Hotel and the Luomei Building are close at hand, and it takes less than 200 meters to walk around the corner. Every day Marcus walks by, he can't help but stare at that building affectionately, and every time he looks at it, his heart is like a knife. He knew that she had returned to Guangzhou and had long since lived here, but it was as if this building had become her, standing there silently, looking at him quietly, reminding him: I'm still here, I'm here.
He also wanted to call her countless times and tell her: Let's not do this anymore, let's go back to the sweetness of the past, okay? But the longer it dragged on, the more he felt her coldness, and he was worried that his flame would no longer be able to melt her like ice.
Yes, as soon as the Aimee gets cold, it suddenly feels cold and impossible to get close β that's how President Dai of the Platinum Boat Union feels. When Ning Qian was not allowed to participate in the finals of the economic and trade system report performance that year, other girls were anxiously asking why, but she didn't say a word, like an iceberg.
Now that Bozhou is going to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the company's establishment, Mr. Shi and Director Xu actually proposed to invite Xiao Ning to come back as the host. Let Chairman Dai invite her. Even if the laid-off diversion has been carried out vigorously and effectively in recent years, the number of employees in the platinum boat has been reduced to only more than 500 people, but in this base, there are still many talents, all languages, and people of any appearance and height. Although Chairman Dai also has a good impression of Xiao Ning, can he make such an arrangement? The key is how to speak?
When Chairman Dai called Xiao Ning on the phone, she really didn't know the bottom in her heart, but she didn't expect Xiao Ning to only ask what time and what the request was, and she agreed. Such a refreshing experience was really unexpected by Chairman Dai. When they met for rehearsal, Chairman Dai was also convinced by Xiao Ning's seriousness and cooperation. The celebration was very grand, the platinum boat up and down together with the retired workers gathered together, everyone was asking who the hostess on the stage was, when they heard that it was Xiao Ning, even Aunt Chen didn't dare to admit it: too much change, right? Why are you so thin? Jia Weihuang and Sui Yanyan also whispered in the audience: "I can't recognize it, I can't recognize it, it's another person entirely." "Yes, Xiao Ning now, without the caution and prudence she was in the platinum boat, she is so confident and so radiant.
Ning Qian knew: This was Director Xu giving her a chance to tell those who had hurt her that Xiao Ning was not so easy to lie down. But Ning Qian knows better: the platinum boat is the starting point of her career, where she has pain and has gained so much care and love.
After presiding over the anniversary celebration of the platinum boat, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Ning Qian rushed back to Lipton, wanting to make up for the day's work, anyway, no one should see it after work, so don't remove your makeup first. As soon as she entered, Justin came looking for her. It's so late, and he hasn't left yet.
Since Aimee returned from Shanghai, she has been promoted to the manager level, and the company has arranged a separate office for her, and she has not had time to set it up seriously. As soon as Justin came in, he asked, "Are you too plain here?" Seeing Aimee's face with heavy makeup, he was startled, and quickly answered: "Oh, it's not plain, it's not plain, the color of today's face is really strong!" Seeing her wearing a dress that fits well, I can't help it: "Why aren't you in the company this afternoon?" Probably going for a wedding photoshoot, right? β
