Chapter 40: Sowing Discord
The results of the competition came out, and to everyone's surprise, Ou Muyang participated in the competition and won the first place, which also made those who had disagreed with her also lose convinced. What Qingzi didn't expect was that she was on the list and won the third place, and Xingchen didn't even know how many places she won because she didn't win the award.
"Congratulations! You are the best place for our Ryan. Those colleagues who knew that Kiyoko had won the ranking were hustle and bustle.
"Where, Mr. Ou is our role model!" Kiyoko was very happy.
"I really didn't expect Mr. Ou to put down his body and participate in the competition, but I really didn't expect Mr. Ou to really kill the whole audience in seconds!"
"Envy and jealousy, people always have real skills, otherwise not everyone can be Ryan's director."
……
Colleagues discussed the results of the game, although Xingchen was happy for Kiyoko, but she was still a little disappointed when she thought of herself, after all, Kiyoko was in front of her, and she had to wonder if she had fallen.
"Isn't it a celebration?" After getting off work, Xingchen said with a smile to Kiyoko.
"Of course, I'm in for a treat." Kiyoko is very refreshing.
When Qingzi and Xingchen walked out of the building together, they saw Chen Xiaofei already standing there.
"Looks like I'm going to have dinner tonight!" Xingchen teased after seeing Chen Xiaofei.
"No, it won't." Kiyoko was afraid that the stars would go away, so she held her arm tightly.
Since it was the time when many colleagues in the building came out of it during the off-duty period, Qingzi couldn't say anything to Chen Xiaofei.
"I heard that you won the competition, so I wanted to celebrate you." Chen Xiaofei said.
"You're very well-informed, yes, then Xingchen and I must have fun tonight." Qingzi said the word "Xingchen" very seriously, deliberately did not give Xingchen a chance to escape, and let Xingchen be a "shield" to escape before she could figure out how to reply to Chen Xiaofei's "confession".
At this time, Ou Muyang and An Ran came out with a smile, and when they passed by Qingzi and them, they deliberately said: "Congratulations, Qingzi has achieved good results, and today I have an appointment with An Ran to celebrate you another day!" ”
Xingchen felt very uncomfortable when she saw the backs of Ou Muyang and An Ran drifting apart, she knew that Ou Muyang's words were deliberately said to herself, although she never wanted to compete with Ou Muyang for An Ran, but looking at the way they looked together, she had to admit that they were so right.
Although Xingchen was a "light bulb" for one night, she also felt very happy and worth it for the sake of seeing Kiyoko so happy. Chen Xiaofei took very good care of them, especially when he looked at Qingzi with his admiring eyes, Qingzi's evasion made Xingchen see it, and she finally understood Qingzi's abnormal mood these days, it seems that this seemingly beautiful relationship has brought Qingzi a painful and happy helpless happiness.
"Do you think it's because your parents don't agree that you rejected Chen Xiaofei, or do you don't like him at all?" Xingchen asked when he got home.
"I don't know, every time I see him, I feel so guilty."
"But you don't want to force yourself to agree to him out of guilt, do you? Actually, I don't think you have to think too much, just follow your heart, if he is really good for you, he will understand. ”
Kiyoko can only hope that this is the case.
Ou Muyang's office, Xingchen and another colleague sat in front of Ou Muyang, Xingchen didn't say a word before he heard this colleague's overwhelming complaints, what is not easy to develop a customer, what is the pressure to support a family, and all kinds of pitiful and innocent love dramas are full of sight.
Ou Muyang didn't seem to be able to stand it, so he said to Xingchen: "Xiaomin said that you robbed her customer? ”
Although Xingchen didn't know the ins and outs of the matter very clearly, she was very unhappy when she heard the word "rob".
"I just said a word to the customer, she was also there at the time, how did it become a 'robbery'?" Xingchen felt very aggrieved by Xiaomin's exaggerated facts, she just happened to meet this customer to help him make a little suggestion, so she inexplicably fell into the charge of "robbing" the customer, and she felt wronged for herself.
"Can't I think of it? Why do you want to say it, now the customer says that I am not professional and refuses to cooperate with me. Xiaomin argued.
"You know whether you are professional or not." Xingchen secretly scolded in her heart, although she had not been in Ryan for a long time, she had already heard that Xiaomin came in through the back door, and usually relied on relatives and friends to introduce her performance.
Xingchen has always thought that large enterprises will not have this kind of nepotism, but I didn't expect that both large enterprises and small companies have this kind of criticism of helping relatives and not helping them, and this kind of corporate culture management is simply "virus" corruption in China.
"Xiaomin, you are really, if you are really a professional customer, will you have such an excuse? And Xingchen, why don't you even have this most basic professional ethics, this is the most taboo thing in the workplace, do you still want me to teach it? Looks like I'm going to give you a good ethics lesson. ”
Xingchen thought that he still had a lot of work in his hands, and he didn't want to waste time here for a moment, so he said, "Mr. Ou, what do you say now?" Anyway, I didn't grab that customer. ”
"Are you still cheating?"
"Okay, there is not only one customer in the world, just pay attention in the future, don't come to me all day long because of these things, go out!"
Kiyoko saw Xingchen's face was not good and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Xingchen wanted to complain very much, and when she saw Xiaomin just passing by, she didn't make a sound, thinking that since her colleague didn't look up for a while, she didn't want to implicate this matter again, so she said, "It's okay!" ”
Who knew that when Xingchen just wanted to devote himself to work, he saw Xiaomin and a few colleagues whispering, although he couldn't hear it, but when he saw other colleagues looking at this side from time to time, he knew that he must be talking about her.
Xingchen was furious and wanted to go over and tell them: "If you form a gang in the office, you are not afraid of being beaten to death by the gang leader." ”
Kiyoko pulled Xingchen and asked her to go to the pantry, and she reluctantly followed.
"Su Xiaomin actually went to Ou Muyang to complain and said that I robbed her customer, isn't this a wild talk? When I came back, I was talking to those people about right and wrong, making the whole office smoky. As soon as he came to the pantry, Xingchen couldn't help but complain to Qingzi.
"Now the performance is not good, everyone is depressed, Xiaomin is too big and too small, I'll talk to Ou Muyang."
"It's useless to say it, I just can't get used to Xiaomin's face, where did I offend her? Besides, the customer didn't sign an order with me, so why did he wronged me like this. ”
"Lose your anger, just be bitten by a mad dog, stay away from them."
Xingchen calmed down a little and returned to her seat after Kiyoko's comfort, and after this incident, she finally saw such a wolf selling dog meat in sheep's clothing.
When Ou Muyang was about to get off work, she suddenly asked for a meeting, and she rarely held meetings at this time, so everyone was speculating whether something had happened.
"I'm going on a business trip with the Enron manager of the project department next week, so the work of the design department is temporarily handed over to Kiyoko to manage, although she has not been here for the longest, but through the results of this competition, everyone has also seen that she is capable, I hope you can cooperate with her to complete the work, and wait for me to come back smoothly to invite everyone to dinner."
After Ou Muyang finished announcing, everyone unanimously set their eyes on Qingzi, although Qingzi was a little unaccustomed to this sudden focus, but she also thought that this was an opportunity, and she had no reason to give up.
Just when everyone was whispering, Ou Muyang seemed to think of something again and continued: "I don't want to go around in circles anymore when we are all adults, we are not very united recently, I hope everyone can reflect on it, selfish people can't take the road of great futures, and the country never relies on one person to build, let's be humble!" ”
After Ou Muyang finished speaking, he glanced at Xiaomin and Xingchen, and Xingchen was also ashamed of his impulsiveness just now. Although she was wronged, she also had something wrong, and looking at Xiaomin's appearance of not caring about herself, her heart was uncomfortable.
"Such a brazen person is simply wonderful." Xingchen thought to himself.
After Ou Muyang left, everyone gathered around Qingzi to say what was happening, Mr. Ou's right-hand man and other flattering words, at this time, Xiaomin was surrounded by Qingzi again, and Xingchen immediately turned around and left.
The colleagues all asked Kiyoko to have dinner, Xingchen found an excuse not to go, and the mood became better when he returned home alone.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xingchen opened the door to see that it was safe.
"Aren't you going on a business trip?" Xingchen asked.
"Isn't that next week? Two more weekends, have you eaten? ”
"Not yet!" Xingchen felt helpless when he thought that Qingzi must have been "besieged" by his colleagues at this time, and the current person has changed too fast.
"I haven't eaten either, why don't you go out and eat?"
"No, I'm not in the mood." After saying that, Xingchen sat back on the sofa, she was really not in the mood at all, even if she ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas, she felt unhappy at all.
"Then you wait a minute, I'll cook the noodles."
Before Xingchen could agree, An Ran ran back to his house, and the door was always open.
Kiyoko thought it was just an ordinary dinner, but she didn't expect everyone to openly provoke the relationship between her and Xingchen because of Xingchen's absence. Xingchen's absence tonight really made Qingzi lose face, Qingzi knew that Xingchen was wronged today, and wanted her to go back early to have a good rest. But many times the truth is that these rumors have been falsified and turned true, and the cheering of her colleagues makes Kiyoko think that Xingchen is indeed a bit excessive.
Ou Muyang trusts her so much and appreciates her, as a good friend, Xingchen should be happy for her no matter what, but he didn't expect to leave so coldly and calmly, Qingzi thought that Xingchen was jealous that she was doing better than her, so she was unhappy. After all, Xingchen has always been far ahead of the curve in both work and study.
When Kiyoko returned home that night, it was already late at night, and Xingchen had already fallen asleep.
Tonight's stars may be much closer to him because of An Ran's bowl of noodles, An Ran is like an old friend accompanying her, and listening to her long-ago stories. Xingchen never thought that he would tell the past in his heart as a story, but no matter what, opening his heart is the beginning of liberating himself, whether the listener understands it or not, but he has become much more relaxed.
Remember the saying goes: if you have a story to share, you're really relaxed.
