Chapter 27 You Know
The busy colleagues in each cubicle looked up and gossiped, but their hands didn't stop, and the sound of typing on keyboards rose and fell.
“Okay, if Team Leader Wu can do it, then I can too.” Su Xi turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Watching Su Xi's retreating figure, Wu Qingluan finally dropped her pretense, a wicked smile flashing in her eyes.
Did they think that just cleaning toilets was an insult to her dignity and that would be the end of it? How naive! Wu Qingluan always uses elaborate schemes; how could she be so shallow?
The real show is yet to come; today, Su Xi will be kicked out of the company.
She caused such a huge mess on her first day at work; let's see which good company will dare to hire her in the future.
Around noon, Shen Congxuan strode into the dispatch department and clapped his hands, "Immediately send me the plug-in programs that you have completed."
He sat down and started working quickly on the computer.
Wu Qingluan seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said, "Ji Feifei, quickly go and call Su Xi over."
Ji Feifei quickly got up and left.
Sensing the panic in Wu Qingluan's voice, Shen Congxuan frowned. "What's wrong with Su Xi?"
"Aunt Zhang took the day off today. I told her to make sure she finished the plug-in and cleaned up the stain on the toilet floor, but I haven't seen her yet. I don't know if she finished the plug-in or not."
Upon hearing this, the temperature around Shen Congxuan instantly dropped, and his expression turned grim. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with his long middle finger, his amber eyes behind the lenses unfathomable, as he silently watched Ji Feifei pull Su Xi over.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Wu Qingluan's eyes. The workplace is like a battlefield; a mistake is a mistake, and no excuses are allowed.
Su Xi could only swallow this bitter pill this time. Even if she tried to argue, it would only make people disgusted with her stupidity.
Seeing Su Xi stop, Shen Congxuan asked seriously, "Have you finished making your plugin?"
"It's done," Su Xi said, her slender fingers swiping across the phone screen. "I've already sent it to you."
Behind Shen Congxuan, Wu Qingluan's smile froze instantly. She looked down and saw the plug-in program that had indeed been sent to her computer. Her eyes widened like saucers, and she blurted out, "How did you know?"
Su Xi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "How would I know? So Team Leader Wu also knew that he hadn't told me about the plugin at all, which is why he was surprised when I showed him the program. Risking the company's interests for personal grudges, your character and integrity are truly questionable."
"No, I didn't." A look of panic and realization flashed across Wu Qingluan's face. She originally wanted to dig a hole to bury Su Xi, but she didn't expect that Su Xi would dig a hole and bury her instead.
She was unconvinced, but quickly regained her composure and argued righteously, "Of course I told you, otherwise how would you know the job details?"
Su Xi chuckled. She wasn't stupid; how could she not see through such an obvious and clumsy scheme? Since she knew it was a trap, she naturally had her own way of breaking it, and then she would wait and reap the rewards.
"Su Xi, you've been dawdling over mopping the floor for so long, were you playing on your phone?! No, you didn't bring your computer, so how did you even create this plugin? You…"
"Shut up." Shen Congxuan scolded lightly, and Wu Qingluan immediately muted her microphone, almost biting her tongue.
Shen Congxuan stared intently at the computer screen through his glasses, his hands typing rapidly without blinking.
A serious man is the most charming. Wu Qingluan stared at Shen Congxuan's handsome back of the head, her eyes secretly sparkling as she lingered from the back of his head to his neck, then his broad back, narrow waist, and long legs crossed.
It's a pity that Shen Congxuan always deliberately kept his distance from his female subordinates and never engaged in any underhanded dealings.
Before long, all the plugins were assembled and sent.
Shen Congxuan's wise eyes finally left the computer screen and swept over Wu Qingluan and Su Xi.
"Wu Qingluan, you've disappointed me again. You're demoted to deputy team leader with a one-month probationary period. If you make another mistake, you're fired."
Wu Qingluan's eyes widened in disbelief. Her mouth opened and closed, but when she met the man's all-knowing gaze, she dared not say a word.
"Su Xi, being able to create such a perfect program using a mobile phone shows that your software skills are excellent and your use of code is superb. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Su Xi nodded, her smile modest.
After Shen Congxuan left, Wu Qingluan glared at Su Xi and said in a low voice, "You dare to plot against me? Even if I'm demoted to deputy team leader, I'm still the boss of this dispatch team. You just wait and see."
Su Xi's face also turned cold. "Wu Qingluan, you set me up first. I was just protecting myself. If there is a next time, I won't let it go so easily. Moreover, Manager Shen said that if there is another mistake, you should pack your bags and leave. If you want to lose your job, feel free to try."
"You!" Wu Qingluan ground her back teeth. "Even if I leave, it won't be your turn. Don't be so smug."
Wu Qingluan returned to her workstation angrily. Ji Feifei shuffled over, her face full of flattery, "Sister Wu, that Su Xi is going too far. If this continues, won't the entire dispatch department have to take her surname?"
Wu Qingluan glanced at her irritably, looking at her as if she were some lowly ant. "You only have a mouth, all you do is talk nice things. What's the use of just talking without doing anything?"
Ji Feifei was a little embarrassed by the criticism, her eyes flickered, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said seriously, "Sister Wu, I understand. People you hate and people you don't like don't need to appear in front of you anymore and bother you."
Seeing Ji Feifei's eagerness to pledge her loyalty, Wu Qingluan, though feeling that she couldn't cause any trouble, still found it pleasant to have a sycophant by her side to flatter her. So she casually quoted Manager Shen's words to appease her, "Okay, do a good job, I have faith in you."
After lunch, Wu Qingluan went to the rooftop to make a phone call and recounted everything that had happened that day, feeling utterly aggrieved.
She heard the person on the other end say something, and immediately beamed with joy, then hung up the phone, completely satisfied.
Qiushui Villa.
He Ze was dressed as a lawn mower when Wu Yaoyao whispered something in his ear, causing him to frown deeply.
"No way, you're making me do this childbirth-like, ungrateful thing again. I've already lost my job twice because of you. If Feng Jinchen keeps targeting me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Luocheng anymore."
Wu Yaoyao pouted, "If you can't stay in Luocheng, just go somewhere else. You can make a living anywhere. And you still say you like me?"
Seeing that the woman was angry, He Ze quickly softened his tone, "Okay, okay, I'll do it, alright? But," he looked at her with a more explicit gaze, the desire deep in his eyes impossible to hide, "you have to make it up to me properly."
Wu Yaoyao frowned, feeling disgusted inside, but she didn't show it on her face. She said softly, "I am Feng Jinchen's woman now, and I am pregnant."
He Ze felt a pang of resentment and disgust when he caught the woman's deep disdain and disgust for him, and his expression turned sour.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he smiled and said, "Yaoyao, don't worry. I know this villa and all this wealth are because of the child in your belly. Of course, I won't let you lose this golden opportunity. Although we can't do *that*, we can use… you know what I mean."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yaoyao's expression changed drastically, and she could no longer hide her disgust.
