Chapter 96 Praise
Her voice was clear but unquestionable, and her words were mixed with a sharp power.
She said in a cold tone: "Sister Lan, no one on your side ordered her to help pack the clothes, right?"
Her tone was like the biting wind on a winter night, carrying a pressure that left no room for rebuttal.
Then he turned to the other woman and asked, "Sister Lan, is it fun to treat your colleagues at the bottom like this? They are just ordinary employees."
After she finished speaking, she frowned slightly, and her words revealed both the harshness of the rebuke and a sense of responsibility to defend the vulnerable.
The one called Sister Lan looked embarrassed for a moment and glanced at Li Tingting. "Huh, how can you tell if you're interested or not if you don't do it?"
Zhan Lan pretended to be strong, but her face turned slightly red, and there was some evasion and unwillingness in her tone, but she knew in her heart that she seemed to have hit a wall this time.
She had long disliked women like Chen Yan who relied on their beauty to make a living and climb the social ladder, and she wished she could teach them a lesson every day.
This has always been Zhan Lan's opinion. Although she never said it out loud, she has long been full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with her in her heart.
Li Tingting questioned her mercilessly: "You don't go back to the First Madam's room to work during working hours. Be careful not to make her angry. Don't spend all day thinking about how to get close to the Third Master."
Her words cut through the air like a sharp blade, and every word pierced the other person's heart.
"you!"
Zhan Lan was speechless for a moment.
Faced with Li Tingting's ruthless exposure, Zhan Lan was suddenly speechless, and was so ashamed and angry that she had no words to say.
She snorted softly and turned away.
His steps were a little hurried, as if he was afraid that if he stayed a moment longer he would completely lose face.
Shen Yan was confused, "Who does she belong to?"
Chen Yan looked at the direction where Li Tingting was going away with a puzzled look in her eyes, her heart full of questions and astonishment. She didn't know which side this person who suddenly helped her was on.
Li Tingting didn't answer, but said in a cold tone, "I'm afraid that what happened last night has spread, and everyone is trying to cause trouble."
Her face was still cold, but her tone vaguely revealed a sense of helplessness and hidden worry about the current situation.
Thinking of Chen Moli's attitude towards her, she suddenly understood.
The more she thought about it, the clearer it became that the barrier that seemed to exist at one time had turned into hostility towards her.
Even Assistant Chen looks at her like this?
Shen Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Could it be that all her efforts were regarded as some kind of ulterior motive?
She didn't do anything, but some people couldn't sit still and were deliberately looking for trouble.
At this moment, Shen Yan felt aggrieved and confused - she hadn't approached anyone yet, nor had she done anything wrong, but she had already become the target of public criticism.
If she really became Chen Zeyu's personal assistant, or even further, some ambiguous rumors spread, how could she stay safe in the company in the future?
This assumption made her shudder. If things continued in this direction, what awaited her might be more than just rumors.
Shen Yan couldn’t help but shudder.
An inexplicable fear swept over her, sending a chill down her spine.
"Thank you, Tingting. If it weren't for you, I would have almost followed them."
Chen Yan thanked him sincerely, her tone showing gratitude and relief at surviving the disaster.
Li Tingting said calmly, "I'm leaving now. Be careful."
After saying this, Li Tingting said no more. She just looked at her with slightly tired eyes, then turned and left.
After she finished speaking, she went to get busy, and Shen Yan also had to go back to the purchasing department.
Neither of them said another word as they walked back to their respective posts.
Compared to those people in the inner courtyard gossiping about her private life, the purchasing department obviously didn't care about the matter at all.
The purchasing department was extremely busy and the work pace was tight, and no one seemed to notice what kind of turmoil she had experienced today.
When they arrived at the purchasing department, Fan Xiuli handed her the key.
The moment she took the key, Shen Yan truly felt like she had returned to her own space.
At this time, Wei Jie happened to pass by Fan Xiuli's position.
A familiar figure came into her eyes, as if bringing her a brief moment of comfort, but he did not glance over here for a second time, but just walked over with steady steps as usual.
Chen Yan came over with the car keys and happened to meet Wei Jie standing at the entrance of the corridor. She looked up at him and asked, "Manager Wei, do you want to come with us?"
A cold smile appeared on Wei Jie's face, and he replied in a low but sarcastic voice: "No, I have other plans."
As soon as he said this, several colleagues who were chatting nearby suddenly became interested and immediately jokingly said, "Wei Jie, don't be so reluctant. Just go. Why are you being so reserved?"
Another colleague also said with a smile: "If you don't take that car, does that mean anyone can drive it? You have to reserve your seat!"
Someone else took the opportunity to chime in, "Yeah, if you don't get on it, how are others going to know this is our Purchasing Department's official vehicle? You need to prove it with actual action."
Wei Jie's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth tightened. Finally, he gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "If you want to sit, go sit by yourself!"
The colleague who had been making the joke didn't get angry. Instead, he spread his hands and said with a smile, "I don't care. It's not my responsibility to handle this project. I don't bother with this kind of nonsense."
In fact, although the purchasing department seems calm, it is not united.
Although everyone is working in the same department, there is always a lot of hidden friction between old employees and between new and old ideas.
Among them, Fan Xiuli happened to be standing not far away and listened for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she secretly gave Chen Yan a look - a movement so small that others would not notice it, but she understood what the other party meant.
With their understanding tacitly understood, she turned and looked at Wei Jie, and said in a calm but slightly tentative tone, "Since it's not convenient for you to go with me for the inspection, I will go first and report back to you as soon as there is any progress."
Without waiting for Wei Jie to respond to her, she picked up the key hanging on her hand and walked quickly towards the gate of the manor.
She knew her goal clearly. She had to reach the inspection team's meeting point before time today and complete the supervision and inspection work.
There were a total of ten inspectors, plus herself, making a total of eleven people, forming a temporary inspection team, and they all set off in a car.
They were going to take a government vehicle with a manor license plate. As for key information such as which car to take, where it was parked, and what the license plate number was, Fan Xiuli had already told her in detail in advance. The whole process was very smooth and there was almost no resistance.
After the inspection process began, no unexpected situations were encountered and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
The auditors' attitudes also seemed particularly relaxed. No one looked serious, and they mainly gave praise when recording reports.
