Chapter 005: Workplace Bullying
"Ning Qing?" Seeing Ning Qing open her mouth wide for a while, and then frowning and biting her lip tightly, Ling Anxun really couldn't help but say something.
"This, how can I say it, Sister An Xun, just, this...... It's so pretty. Ning Qing was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt that the words in his mind were so scarce, and he really couldn't think of anything to describe his feelings at the moment.
Looking at Ning Qing's appearance, Ling Anxun smiled and said, "It's not over yet, you see, there, here, and here, you can have more polishing in the later stage, as for the color, I suggest that you can use the same color contrast scheme." Ling Anxun continued to guide without sparing.
"Sister An Xun, you are really, really amazing." Ning Qing's face flushed, and she used all her strength to say the words that could be most praised by others.
"How can I have it, you're exaggerating." Ling Anxun couldn't help but blush when she heard this, although this was not the first time she had received such praise, but from the mouth of a pure person like Ning Qing, it was even more touching.
"Really, Sister An Xun, you are very good, you are better than the second part of the design, no, you are better than all the designers in Jincheng. Otherwise, those people wouldn't be guarding you as if they were facing a great enemy. Seeing that Ling Anxun didn't believe it, Ning Qing hurriedly proved to himself, but he didn't expect to bring out some of the secrets of the second design department.
"Guarding against me?" Ling Anxun showed a puzzled expression.
Ning Qing slapped her mouth, this shouldn't have been said, but when she met Ling Anxun's innocent eyes again, Ning Qing finally made up her mind to do nothing, after all, Ling Anxun was already an idol-like existence in her mind now. I saw that she took a deep breath, looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to this side, she said in a low voice, "Yes, guard against you." This project was originally designed by Manager Lu, but I don't know why the company suddenly said that it wanted to break through the inherent style of the design department of Jincheng Branch and widely absorb external talents, so it made a submission. Moreover, the acceptance of the manuscript was also completed by the group headquarters, which was completely out of the control of the second design department, so it was rumored that you might be sent by the group to target Manager Lu. It may have something to do with the fact that several design departments have been robbed recently......"
"However, according to what you said, a total of five design departments of the company have projects that have been robbed, why does the group want to send someone to target Manager Lu of the second design department?" Ling Anxun continued to follow her innocent route, hoping to elicit more information from Ning Qing's mouth.
"Oh, doesn't that mean that the upper echelons are questioning Manager Lu's ability?" Ning Qing said anxiously, how could there be someone who couldn't figure out the situation more than herself?
"However, I'm here to apply, and I don't have anything to do with your headquarters, and I've never cooperated before, so why am I here to deal with Manager Lu?" Ling Anxun woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream and said anxiously.
"I don't know if they heard some of the above news, in short, Manager Lu is very angry, and I am afraid that the consequences will be very serious, she, how to say it, is a very methodical woman, Sister Anxun, you have to be very careful."
"But aren't you the one who designed the second department? You told me this, aren't you afraid your manager will know? Ling Anxun looked at Ning Qing with a frown, looking panicked.
Ning Qing nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Because you are very good to me, you encourage me, and you help me modify my works, and your design is so powerful, I am really afraid of you, I am afraid that you will be ...... by those people, those people Bully...... They are already fierce, and they are even more fierce when they hug the group. ”
"Then you were bullied by them, right?" Ling Anxun looked at her, and it was obvious from the observation of the past two days that how could this talented young man be tolerated by those people, from the work arrangement to daily life, it could be seen that the second design department was just an assistant without talent.
Ning Qing's nose was a little sour, and the grievances she suffered from the university to the company seemed to come up all of a sudden, she tried hard to raise her head, only to hold back the tears that were about to burst the embankment, and no longer crying in front of others was her last stubbornness, "No way, I am an intern in the second design department, I am soft-spoken, inexperienced, and my personality is cowardly, I don't flatter people, and I don't fit in well...... Ning Qingmu muttered about the charges she was imposed on herself by the people of the second design department.
"Enough, Ning Qing, these are not reasons for you to be treated like this. Trust me, you're talented, don't bury it here. After gathering enough information from Ning Qing, Ling Anxun could finally be himself, and said bluntly, "In this way, I still have some connections as a freelance designer in the past few years." After your internship, if you don't want to sign a contract with Jincheng Branch, you can call me, I can help you contact some small independent design studios in Jincheng, although the starting salary is not as high as Jincheng, and the benefits are poor, but they are all talented young people like you who are not valued, I believe you can find your true home there. ”
"Really, really, Sister Anxun." Ning Qing's eyes appeared again, she didn't expect that the dark clouds that had been pressing on her heart in the past few years would be able to dissipate one day.
"Of course, I won't lie to you." Ling Anxun nodded heavily, her design studio in Asia had set up a branch in Jincheng two years ago, and the brother who was currently in charge of the studio liked to attract these talented young people. Although the design studio is not well-known in Jincheng now, Ling Anxun believes in the slow work of this benevolent brother, and the entire branch is indeed thriving and flourishing under his leadership and the efforts of this group of young people.
Seeing Ning Qing leave with hope and his first commercial work, Ling Anxun also turned around and returned to the apartment. Along the way, she inevitably used some anti-tracking means to ensure that there were no flies behind her. This is also a habit for many years, but fortunately, it is clean behind me this time. Now that Ling Anxun has obtained the recording of the conversation with Ning Qing, he will retire after completing the project, and his brother can launch a formal investigation against Lu Weiwei with this. The only thing to worry about now is how Lu Weiwei will deal with herself later.
Ling Anxun was not wrong to worry, but she still thought of Lu Weiwei simply. How can a person like Lu Weiwei who can form a gang and bully others have only these means? Less than five minutes after Ning Qing and Ling Anxun were separated, Lu Weiwei sent someone to "invite" Ning Qing to a private room in a tea room.
"How's it going, did you find it?" Lu Weiwei sat on the rattan chair, took a sip of tea and said.
Ning Qing lowered her head, shrunk her body and stood aside, clutching the backpack containing her drawings in her hand.
"What about you?" Li Pei, who was standing next to Ning Qing, slapped Ning Qing on the head as he spoke. Li Pei has been Lu Weiwei's follower since she was in college, and she is Lu Weiwei's loyal servant when she arrives in Jincheng.
"No, no. She was too tight-mouthed to ask. Ning Qing said. It turned out that when Ling Anxun approached Ning Qing, it attracted Lu Weiwei's attention, so she planned and asked Ning Qing to take the opportunity to inquire about Ling Anxun's address so that her next plan could be implemented. But with Ning Qing's character, testing Ling Anxun once was already her limit, and Ling Anxun didn't say anything, so she simply gave up. Moreover, Ling Anxun was so good to herself, if it weren't for Lu Weiwei and the others being too terrible, Ning Qing really didn't want to help them find out even once.
"Can't ask?" Lu Weiwei stood up from the rattan chair and paced towards Ning Qing, "You can't ask, or don't you want to say it?" Ning Qing subconsciously shrank back, but was caught by Li Pei and another woman, Wang Yue of the second design department, so that she couldn't retreat. Lu Weiwei snatched the backpack in Ning Qing's hand and took out the sketch from it, "Do you think that with this, you can turn over and become a designer?" Stop dreaming. Don't forget, who paid for your college education, dare to be ungrateful, eat inside and out, I will let you not eat and walk around. Every time Lu Weiwei paused, she slapped Ning Qing on the face with her sketch, and finally slapped Ning Qing directly in the face. Ning Qing was in pain, but she still stiffened up and didn't shed tears, but this was not the most painful, until her sketch was thrown into the trash by Lu Weiwei, and her heart seemed to be torn apart.
Ning Qing's father died early, and her mother raised her with hard work, and it was easy to be admitted to the ideal university, but because of the high tuition fees, she had to be obedient to Lu Weiwei, because her hard-won scholarship was provided by Lu Weiwei's company. Since then, she has been bullied for two years, and it was not until her sophomore year that Lu Weiwei went abroad for further study as an exchange student, and her life took a turn for the better. Who knew that the internship in her senior year actually made her fall back into the palm of Lu Weiwei's hand, and she once again became the target of Lu Weiwei's bullying.
Ning Qing hated, she hated herself for being so useless, she couldn't even protect her favorite works. When Lu Weiwei was about to throw the lit match into the trash, Ning Qing finally couldn't help but shout with tears in her eyes, "She really didn't reveal it, she just said that her apartment was very close to the Starbucks we met, and it only took 5 minutes." ”
Lu Weiwei extinguished the match in her hand and said to Li Pei and Wang Yue, "Let her go." Ning Qing climbed into the trash can with both hands and feet to pick up his work, and then "rolled" out of the tea room under the punches and kicks of Li Pei and Wang Yue. At this time, Ning Qing was like a walking corpse mechanically walking along the road in the direction of her home, and the joy before the festival on the street had nothing to do with her, only the pain in her heart. Lu Weiwei is really terrifying, every time she can trample Ning Qing's weak self-esteem under her feet, making her miserable and can only succumb to do things against her will. Now, in order to escape from the person who bullied her, she betrayed a person who was willing to help her sincerely, how much she wished she could be friends with Ling Anxun at that time, but now she can only let Ling Anxun's charitable smiling face keep appearing in her mind, lingering.
On the other side, Lu Weiwei in the tea room had already told the hacker she hired about the information provided by Ning Qing just now, and it only took a moment to determine the apartment where Ling Anxun lived, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before she could know the specific room number. only hated this Ning Qing waste to get such information, otherwise she wouldn't have to spend so much effort on Miss Lu.
