Chapter 25 Rumors
Spring is also a season that makes people feel melancholy
The flower season is short, only lasting for a short time. After the splendor, there is the sense of loss that time has passed so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is late spring and early summer.
After Jiang Jin took office, he took effective measures and used tough tactics. After some adjustments, he quickly became proficient in his work.
Han Que's workstation is still opposite his office, and he can often see him busy coming in and out when he looks up.
The two maintained a tacit understanding and did not cross the line except for the inevitable interactions in the workplace.
Even more alienated than the rest of the department.
A few days after Jiang Jin took office, he invited the team to an "ice-breaking" dinner, but Han said she had a bad cold and was not feeling well, so she asked for leave and did not go. Some time later, at a department meeting, Jiang Jin criticized her without naming her, saying that she had a weak sense of teamwork and was only concerned with her own performance.
Han was a little confused about him. Didn't he say that he should stay away from her and avoid contact with her if possible?
But Jiang Jin's attitude towards her has always been very cold, and he is even more demanding of her at work than he is of others.
Li Mei and the others said behind Han's back that he had finally hit a wall and that his seductive tactics were of no use to him.
However, Han always kept to himself and turned a deaf ear to these discussions.

That day, the weather was clear and sunny. After work, Han Que went to the R&D department to find R&D assistant Qiao Hui, preparing to take some samples to visit customers.
She stood beside Qiao Hui's workstation and listened to her introduce the basic functions of the new product. Teacher Wang pushed the door open and walked past them.
Qiao Hui suddenly became so nervous that her face turned red and she stammered and couldn't speak clearly.
Before Han could say anything, Teacher Wang stopped, knocked on Qiao Hui's workbench, frowned, and lectured, "How many times have I told you to not use so many technical terms when introducing product features? Make sure the salespeople can understand. Don't show off your expertise. You're acting like idiots if you don't listen."
Qiao Hui's face flushed, her eyes drooped, her lips tightly pursed, and tears were about to fall.
Han couldn't bear it, so he said, "Teacher Wang, Qiao Hui explained it very clearly. I understand."
Teacher Wang then glanced at her sideways, as if he had just noticed her, and said calmly, "Oh, it's Han Que. No wonder, you're different from others. You can understand."
Han heard the sarcasm in his words, so he just smiled, lowered his head and said nothing more.
Teacher Wang continued, "I heard that you don't want to come to our department because you think our department is too small to accommodate you."
Han was embarrassed and quickly denied it: "No, Mr. Wang, I have lost my professional skills and am not qualified for this job."
Teacher Wang snorted, "That's right. I really can't accommodate a Bodhisattva like you here. I don't want you to go to Mr. Gu and complain a few words every now and then. My old bones can't bear it."
After saying that, he walked away leisurely. Han looked at his skinny back and heroic steps and sighed helplessly.
When Teacher Wang walked away, Qiao Hui curled her lips and snorted disdainfully, "He only has a tiny bit of shares, but he really treats the R&D department like his own."
Han just smiled and didn't express his opinion.
Qiao Hui continued, "Sister Han Que, when Teacher Wang heard that you were going to be transferred here, he flew into a rage and said some very harsh things..."
Han was puzzled and said, "I don't know him well, what can he say about me?"
"They say this is a honey trap, and you're a female spy sent here to steal core secrets..."
Han was dumbfounded: "..."
She pointed at her nose in disbelief. "Me? A female spy? What does Mr. Wang think of the company's R&D department? Has he watched too many spy dramas and mistaken Mr. Gu for the Dai Li of the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Han got the sample from Qiao Hui and took Yu Xiaoli to visit the customer.
As Han Que expected, Jiang Jin transferred Yu Xiaoli to the sales department, and assigned her as Han Que's assistant.
Han wanted to refuse, as she wanted to be more cautious and didn't want others to know about her work, but Jiang Jin announced it directly at the meeting and would not allow her to refuse.
Han had no choice but to express his intention to train the newcomers well.
Yu Xiaoli thought that it was Han Que who spoke well of her, and she was very grateful to Han Que. She called her sister in front of others and behind their backs, and volunteered to run errands and do chores for her.
The two of them stood at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator, but Han lowered his head and sent a message to the other party's purchasing manager with his mobile phone, confirming the meeting time again.
This client was introduced by Lu Xiaoping, and it is very difficult to maintain a good relationship with him.
With a ding-dong sound, the elevator arrived. As the door opened, Gu Ningwei walked out. He was wearing a beige casual suit and khaki pants, with a key ring hooked on his finger, looking very casual.
Seeing Han Que and the others, he paused slightly and asked with a smile, "What? Are you going out?"
Yu Xiaoli quickly stood up straight, staring at him intently, and blushed as she greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Gu..."
Gu Ningwei nodded slightly.
Han responded with a polite smile: "Yes, I have an appointment with the client. He said he wants to see our latest samples."
Gu Ningwei nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy." Then he turned and walked towards the office.
Han Que nodded. Just then, the elevator arrived. She and Yu Xiaoli stepped into the elevator and were about to press the down button when Gu Ningwei turned back and blocked the elevator with one hand. He smiled and said, "By the way, Han Que, when you're done, come back to the company. I have something to talk to you about."
Han hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had something to tell him, and nodded and said okay.
Gu Ningwei said in a familiar tone, "I'm going to have a meeting with them first, and then we'll have lunch together in the building next door. By the way, I heard you've become an internet celebrity now, so it's hard to reserve a seat. You should come back early."
After saying that, he turned and left, and before leaving, he smiled kindly at Xiaoli.
Han Que: "..."
Yu Xiaoli: “…”
The two stood in silence in the elevator. After a while, Han only heard Yu Xiaoli's rapid breathing. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Xiaoli exaggeratedly covered her chest and murmured, "Is this true? Sister Han Que, pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
Han was puzzled: "What do you mean by dreaming?" Then he understood her little girl's infatuated mentality, rolled his eyes at her amusedly, and gently scolded her, "Why are you so serious?"
Yu Xiaoli nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Of course it is. Absolutely."
Han ignored her and continued to send messages.
Yu Xiaoli asked again, "Sister Han Que, that person just now was Mr. Gu Ningwei, right?"
Han nodded absentmindedly: "Yeah, didn't you call him just now?"
"But he was smiling at me just now." Yu Xiaoli blinked and smiled.
Han nodded, thinking of Gu Ningwei's theory of providing emotional value to employees. He thought to himself, just by smiling, he could win a good impression of the little girl. Gu Ningwei is really good at it.
Yu Xiaoli was still mumbling beside him, praising Gu Ningwei's handsome appearance and beautiful face. She mumbled for a long time, and seeing that Han Que was still not paying attention, she couldn't help but say, "Sister Han Que, how can you ignore my brother like this?"
Han then raised his head: "Your brother? Who is your brother?"
Yu Xiaoli said as a matter of course: "Mr. Gu."
Han was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Wake up, girl, when did he become your brother? What kind of relationship do you have with him?"
"Sister Han Que..." Yu Xiaoli frowned and said disdainfully, "You're still young, how come you don't know anything? Idols always say that those who call you brother are not really relatives."
Han was even more confused: "Do you regard Mr. Gu as your idol?"
Yu Xiaoli nodded. "Of course. Originally, I regarded Mr. Jiang as my idol, but Mr. Jiang has a girlfriend. It's not good for us to be too enthusiastic. But this Mr. Gu is even more handsome than Mr. Jiang, and..." She paused and asked Han Que in a low voice, "He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
Han Que's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Why are you asking me? I don't even know if he has a girlfriend." As she spoke, the elevator had already reached the first floor. She walked out quickly, and Yu Xiaoli followed her a few steps behind her. "Hey, Sister Han Que, how could you not know? Aren't you very familiar with him? Otherwise, why would he invite you to dinner?"
Han suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Yu Xiaoli sternly with a stern face: "Don't say it."
Yu Xiaoli smiled mischievously and asked, "Don't say anything."
Han said, "Don't tell anyone that Mr. Gu asked me to have dinner with him." He paused and added, "It would be bad if others knew."
Yu Xiaoli shrugged. "So what if they know? Do you think everyone doesn't know? It's all over the company. They say that Mr. Gu bought our company just for you."
