Chapter 229: Restrained
Jiang Chu came out of the conference room and walked leisurely to his office, the assistant behind him hurriedly followed in small steps, looking at Jiang Chu's eyes full of admiration.
"Mr. Jiang, you were really handsome just now, you didn't know that Yin Luo's face was going to be pulled to the ground. But I have a doubt......" The assistant looked at Jiang Chu cautiously, and the corners of his lips showed an embarrassed expression of gossip and not daring to ask.
Jiang Chu glanced at the assistant with slanted eyes, with a funny expression on his face, and asked leisurely, "If you have any questions, say it." ”
The assistant rubbed his hands, hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the door in front of him, and then whispered: "I don't quite understand some of the ambiguous words you just said on purpose, but you are a ...... A woman with a successful career. ”
Jiang Chu chuckled, pretending to be unfathomable, and spit out a sentence lightly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, one day you will know." ”
Jiang Chu's words made the assistant second monk even more confused, she couldn't help scratching her head, and kept recalling everything about Fang Cai, but the more she thought about it, the deeper the doubts on her face became.
Turning the corner, a familiar figure stood silently at the end, the sunlight shining through the window and over her head as if it were a halo of God's light.
"Mr. Jiang, isn't that Miss Shao?" The assistant's gaze couldn't help but follow Jiang Chu's gaze, and then asked suspiciously.
Jiang Chu slowed down his pace and carefully observed the slightly curved figure, loneliness and grievances lingered around, looking very pitiful.
"You go back to the office first and sort out the afternoon's itinerary." Jiang Chu found an excuse to separate the assistant, and it was obvious that she wanted to leave a space to spend time with Shao Jie alone.
After the assistant left, Jiang Chu slowed down his steps, slowly approached Shao Jie, and asked in an unprecedentedly gentle voice, "What are you doing here alone?" ”
Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Shao Jie's body couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then turned around, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were full of panic. Realizing her gaffe, Shao Jie hurriedly lowered her eyes, trying to hide her emotions, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, Sister Jiang, why are you here?" ”
Jiang Chu frowned slightly, the reddish circles under his eyes were obviously left after he cried, and now he said to himself that it was okay, it was obviously a perfunctory, could it be that something happened?
"It's okay, what's the red circles under your eyes? Lost your eyes when you see the scenery? Jiang Chu followed Shao Jie's words and deliberately joked. Who knew that after these words came out, Shao Jie felt even more aggrieved, and her calm shoulders began to tremble.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Chu couldn't help but lower his head, put his hands on her shoulders, and the tone of his mouth involuntarily softened.
"What's wrong? Is something happening? ”
Shao Jie sobbed twice, then forcibly held back the sourness in her heart, she sucked her nose, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and responded in a dry voice: "It's okay, it's just that I'm in a bad mood all of a sudden." ”
Jiang Chu took a closer look at Yin Luo, but after only a few days, Shao Jie's face was obviously much haggard, the dark circles under her eyes were heavier than before, and what was even more terrifying was that she had lost a lot of weight.
Like a big sister, Jiang Chu chuckled, revealing extremely gentle eyes and expressions, and her voice of persuasion was much softer.
"What the hell is going on? Is there any secret you can't tell Sister Jiang? Just don't believe me? Jiang Chu was very worried in his heart, so he guided Yin Luo again and again, trying to force her to tell the truth.
When Shao Yang was leaving, he specially found himself, and emphasized over and over again that he must promise to take care of Shao Jie, and even brought a little threat. Therefore, protecting Jiang Chu is not only her commitment, but also her original intention when she recruited Shao Jie over.
Shao Jie crossed her hands together and kept rubbing them, looking very embarrassed. She had planned to digest this matter by herself and calm her mind by herself, after all, no one would always protect her. Encountering Jiang Chu today was something she didn't expect, and Jiang Chu's step-by-step pressure made her already built but very weak psychological defense completely collapse.
"I ...... I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I didn't want to hide it from Sister Jiang. I...... I was bullied. Saying this, Shao Jie couldn't help lowering her head, her face was full of loneliness, and she looked lovely.
Being bullied? Jiang Chu couldn't help but show a surprised expression. No one in the company knows that Shao Jie is deeply favored by her, and won the first place in the design competition, whether it is strength or the power behind it, it should discourage those who want to embarrass her, and there are still people who dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
"Really? I'm curious who would do it to such a delicate little girl as you. Jiang Chu was already very annoyed, but she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and ensure that her tone was calm and normal.
Shao Jie lowered her eyes, looked past Jiang Chu's figure and looked at the back, and saw that the corridor of the office was empty, so she was relieved. After hesitating for a moment, Shao Jie slowly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"There is a female designer in the design department who was poached by the company, probably because she was too good, she began to rise to prominence as soon as she came, and many colleagues were scolded by her, but I don't know why she kept holding on to me, looking for trouble for me everywhere......"
The more she talked, the lower Shao Jie's voice became, and her mood became more and more depressed, she really couldn't figure out where she offended people and made people so angry, and they stared at her as soon as they came up.
Jiang Chu frowned, she really didn't notice this. But no matter what, she shouldn't have targeted Shao Jie as soon as she came up, and she wasn't the only one in the design department.
I don't know what came to mind, Jiang Chu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice: "That female envoy you, you can completely refuse, I have already said that I am your boss." ”
"But people are higher than me, and they are reasonably qualified to call me. And in terms of qualifications, I'm just a fledgling newcomer, and she's a battle-hardened old man. Speaking of this, Shao Jie saw it very openly, and said it reasonably.
Jiang Chu chuckled, I haven't seen anyone who defends herself, Shao Jie is really still that simple and harmless child, even if she enters the workplace, this foul air still hasn't polluted her nature, which is really rare. But there is also a bad thing about this kind of character, that is, there will always be people who will bully good people.
"When you first enter the company, you have a very high position as soon as you come up, which will inevitably cause jealousy from others, especially this kind of old man who has gained a firm foothold in the design circle, and the most hated thing is that someone threatens his status, and you are now this threat. But this also shows that your strength is enough to make her afraid, so you shouldn't be discouraged, but take advantage of the waves and design something that belongs to you as soon as possible, and that thing only belongs to Shao Jie, do you understand? ”
Jiang Chu didn't think this was a bad enough thing, someone was forced to grow faster and more motivated than growing by himself, so it was more appropriate to take advantage of this opportunity.
Shao Jie's depressed mood was relieved by Jiang Chu's words, but when she thought of the appearance of the tigress, she still had palpitations.
Seeing Shao Jie's concerns, Jiang Chu raised his hand and touched her hair, and said, "You work hard and strive to design a work that belongs to you as soon as possible." You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll take care of it and make sure you don't lose your reputation. ”
Shao Jie was a little embarrassed when she said this, this was originally her own business, Jiang Chu was kind enough to relieve herself, and she had to take into account her own feelings, no matter how she said it, she made trouble for Jiang Chu.
"Sister Jiang, I'...... You don't have to do so much for me, after all, this is my business, I ......" Shao Jie said a little embarrassed, with an anxious look on her face.
Seeing this, Jiang Chu couldn't help but chuckle, she raised her hand and patted Shao Jie's shoulder, her eyes were full of doting and gentleness like a sister looking at her sister.
"Are you feeling better now? Would you like to come and sit in my office? Jiang Chu looked around, it was time to rest at this moment, naturally there were employees walking around, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction of the two.
In order to prevent rumors unfavorable to Jiang Chu from recurring in the company, Shao Jie hurriedly nodded and agreed, and walked hurriedly to Jiang Chu's office.
When the assistant saw Jiang Chu, who came back so quickly, he obviously showed a look of surprise on his face, but when his eyes swept to Shao Jie behind him, everything was clear.
"You go get busy first." Jiang Chu was afraid that his next words would make Shao Jie embarrassed, so he took the assistant away, leaving only the space between the two.
"Shao Jie, tell me the truth, are you in a bad mood, just because someone bullied you?" Jiang Chu's eyes were full of ambiguity, picked up the coffee on the table, and drank it leisurely.
Shao Jie frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible to Jiang Chu's inquiry, she stared at Jiang Chu's gossip-filled eyes, and asked softly, "......What does Sister Jiang mean?" I don't think I understood. ”
Jiang Chu drank coffee for a moment, her eyes were full of expressions of doing things, she slowly put down the coffee in her hand and looked at Shao Jie fixedly. Shao Jie, who had no secrets, was looked at like this, and there was a trace of weakness and helplessness in her heart.
"Yesterday, Shao Yang sent me a message asking me about your recent situation. Did there be any misunderstanding between you and Shao Yang? How could he have come to me otherwise? Jiang Chu asked leisurely, the meaning of gossip was about to come out.
When Shao Jie heard this, she couldn't help lowering her head, and patches of blush appeared on her cheeks, this shy and deliberately evasive reaction attracted Jiang Chu's attention, and she couldn't help but let out a "tsk" exclamation in her mouth.
