In the afternoon, Zhou Hongyu and Sister Sun were chatting when Qi Fenglian, looking smug, led Zuo Tiantian into the office.
Qi Fenglian passed by and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks: "Some people are born to be busy, unlike us who have been playing around these past few days without having to do any work!"
Zuo Tiantian fawned, "Sister Fenglian is right!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Huang was the first to lose his composure. He had a low status in the family and had finally managed to show off in front of his wife, but these two had run into the line of fire!
"Don't worry, this merit award definitely has nothing to do with you. Your names weren't even written down in the first place!"
Huang was in charge, and Chairman Lin didn't say anything after seeing it.
You can do that?!
Qi Fenglian gritted her teeth.
She thought that by having Chairman Lin's backing, Zhou Hongyu's hard work these past few days would be in vain, benefiting others, but in reality, she couldn't even get a share of the credit!
Qi Fenglian swallowed her anger and grabbed Zuo Tiantian's arm: "It's alright, Chairman Lin is happier than anyone else to let Tiantian come back to work!"
Zuo Tiantian put her arm around Fenglian's shoulder and laughed, "That's right, as long as Sister Fenglian and I can still work together, these kinds of opportunities are not uncommon!"
She'll be able to get a share of the benefits by following Qi Fenglian around, and relying on the fact that Qi Fenglian is Chairman Lin's lover, it'll be better than Zhou Hongyu!
Zuo Tiantian heard from her uncle that Zhou Hongyu deserves a lot of credit for this meritorious service. So what?
As long as she comes back, Zhou Hongyu will still be easily marginalized in the office!
Huang Ge and Xiao Yu are both opportunists who never participate in internal power struggles, but they will side with whoever has the upper hand.
Sister Sun is a kind-hearted person. To be honest, even if Sister Sun dislikes them, she won't bother them. Being disliked by Sister Sun is no big deal for them.
Zhou Hongyu is now completely isolated and helpless!
Sister Sun frowned as she looked at Zuo Tiantian's gloomy expression: "What's going on? Why did you put them together again! I'd rather watch Qi Fenglian and Chairman Lin bickering every day than see these two scheming people together!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded as she listened to what the woman whispered in her ear.
These two love to cause trouble and disgust people when they get together. She especially enjoys watching Qi Fenglian and Chairman Lin make fools of themselves!
Sister Sun grumbled, "I don't know what Chairman Lin was thinking. Did he never intend to let Zuo Tiantian go in the first place? Did he just want to make an example of her to establish his authority?"
Zhou Hongyu had no idea what Chairman Lin was thinking; even Qi Fenglian, who shared a bed with him, probably didn't know what he was going to do next.
"Chairman Lin!"
Zuo Tiantian said, facing the doorway.
"Oh, Zuo Tiantian, you're back!"
Chairman Lin looked at the young woman standing next to Qi Fenglian, and his lustful desires stirred within him. Compared to Qi Fenglian's old face, the young woman was much more arousing!
When people fall into depravity, their tastes are always particularly peculiar, and they have an impulse to disregard their own life and death.
When people see hope again, their tastes return to normal, and they hope to find someone obedient and well-behaved who won't affect their work!
Qi Fenglian and Zuo Tiantian represent Chairman Lin's choices under two different states of mind.
Chairman Lin was ruthless, directly declaring a cold fact: "Now that Zuo Tiantian is back, Qi Fenglian, you go to the warehouse tomorrow to report that the office doesn't need so many people!"
Qi Fenglian's eyes widened. What's going on?
When Zuo Tiantian returned, she should have had the upper hand against Zhou Hongyu, but she was eliminated immediately!
"No, Chairman Lin..."
Qi Fenglian pushed Zuo Tiantian aside and rushed towards Chairman Lin in an emotional state.
"Alright, that's enough. The office is so busy right now, and you're throwing a tantrum and running away. What kind of behavior is that!"
Chairman Lin didn't care about anything else; he had already decided to abandon Qi Fenglian, so he showed no mercy at this point.
"You promised me you'd let Zuo Tiantian come back. Now that she's back, why should I leave!"
Qi Fenglian is going crazy. She used every means to get into this office.
In the past, when everyone worked in the same communal kitchen, the office belonging to the factory's labor union was highly sought after. Qi Fenglian found a few lovers to help her, and even made a name for herself as a promiscuous widow. Finally, she went from being a factory worker to her current position!
Chairman Lin wasn't playing a trick on her; he was trying to kill her!
Chairman Lin said matter-of-factly, "I told you, Zuo Tiantian is coming back, so you have to pay the price. This is your own choice. I thought you were a kind-hearted person!"
Qi Fenglian's face contorted in rage: "I didn't!"
If she had known it would be such a dramatic turn of events, she would never have wanted Zuo Tiantian to come back!
When she was safe and sound, Zuo Tiantian was a source of support.
Now her livelihood has been ruined, Zuo Tiantian is nothing but rubbish!
Qi Fenglian was filled with remorse and pointed at Zuo Tiantian: "I don't agree to let her come back now. If anyone wants to leave, it should be her!"
Zhou Hongyu burst out laughing on the spot.
Let's fight! Let's fight!
Sister Sun was both amused and exasperated. Although she knew Zuo Tiantian wasn't very bright, it was inappropriate to say such a thing. What did all that trouble mean? Did she deserve it?
The "plastic best friend" Zuo Tiantian exploded upon hearing this, raised her arm to slap away the hand in front of her, and shouted: "Qi Fenglian, what do you mean? The boss told you to leave, and you still want to cause trouble!"
Who cares? The most important thing right now is to keep my job.
According to Chairman Lin, if someone has to leave the office, it definitely can't be her!
Zuo Tiantian snapped, "Qi Fenglian, you're incompetent and old. No matter what, the office needs energetic young people! If you don't leave, who will?"
Zuo Tiantian got into the office through her uncle's help; otherwise, given her circumstances, she would still be working hard as an apprentice in the workshop.
She almost lost her job last time. After taking a few days off, she was criticized by her whole family. If she goes back home after all that trouble, it won't just be that she doesn't have a job. She'll have to make room for the other people in her family!
