On the first day of work after returning from Shendao, Sang Tianen was mercilessly scolded by Manager Sun. The general meaning was that he had agreed to take a two-day vacation, but he came to work more than a week later, which betrayed his trust.
Sang Tianen knew she was in the wrong, but she couldn't say that she was arrested and put in jail, as she would surely be interrogated endlessly. So she simply lowered her head and kept silent.
After Manager Sun vented his dissatisfaction, she said a few nice words with a playful smile, promised that she would actively work overtime in the next month, and secretly gave Manager Sun two cans of tea.
Manager Sun was reluctant to accept it at first, but after Sang Tianen persuaded him and said it would be bad if others saw him, Manager Sun finally accepted the tea with an awkward expression.
As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's money will be thankful for what he has received. After receiving the tea, although Manager Sun still had a sullen look on his face, his attitude had softened a lot. Sang Tianen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter should be over.
Sang Tianen is a very picky person. She only drinks green tea before April, that is, before Qingming Festival, which is called tea before Yalan Festival in this world. She rarely drinks anything else.
The tea at this time is the most nutritious, with tender buds and leaves, a light and elegant fragrance, and almost no bitterness. Therefore, the price is also particularly expensive. The most expensive tea Sang Tianen has ever sold can reach 2,000 yuan per catty.
After the Yalan Festival, the tea will lose its original aroma and become bitter. It is easy to fall asleep if you drink too much of it. The price will also become cheaper, and you can buy a pound of it for a few hundred yuan.
Some people who do hard labor like to drink bitter tea in summer, which can boost their energy. People like Sang Tianen cannot drink it at all, as it will excite their nerves all night.
Manager Sun had drunk Sang Tianen's tea several times and knew that the two cans of tea her apprentice had given her must be good stuff. She was a little happy. She didn't have any hobbies except tea. Seeing that it was getting late, he waved his hand and let her go to eat.
Sang Tianen quickly got his meal and came to Shi Zhou, Qian Xiaodou, and Xia Tong's table. As soon as he placed his meal card on the table, Qian Xiaodou approached with a shifty look and asked, "Team Leader, where have you been? Why haven't you been to work in so many days?"
Sang Tianen didn't even look at her. He raised his hand and pressed her head back: "Children, don't ask about adults' affairs."
"That's right, you didn't even reply to my messages." Shi Zhou chimed in, "There's a rumor going around at the company that you got a guy pregnant, and then you got stabbed by his wife and had to be hospitalized."
Sang Tianen: “…”
"I even had a fight with the neighboring group over this matter." Xia Tong said while chewing bean sprouts, "This is too outrageous. These people dare to say anything." After saying that, she glanced at Sang Tianen's arm covered with gauze.
Qian Xiaodou turned around and looked around, noticing no one was paying attention. He whispered, "I heard something even more outrageous. Someone said you were actually with Minister Yan during the few days you disappeared!"
Shi Zhou put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "The fact that he applied for leave and resigned at the same time is indeed very suspicious."
Xia Tong shook her head. "I'm more inclined to believe that the team leader was hacked. Minister Yan is so old now, how could they possibly be together?"
Qian Xiaodou shook her finger. "That's not necessarily true. Minister Yan is so handsome. Apart from being a little older, he and the team leader are a perfect match. Their future children will definitely be very good-looking."
Shi Zhou retorted: "Even if you were with Minister Yan, you wouldn't end up like this, right?" As he said that, he gestured at Sang Tianen's arm with his eyes.
Qian Xiaodou said disapprovingly, "Maybe they like to play games, like bondage, wax dripping, lettering... Who doesn't have a little hobby these days?"
"Pah!" Sang Tianen pressed his chopsticks down on the table, his face turning pale and blue. Did these people think she was dead? They were actually gossiping about her so openly!
And it's such outrageous gossip! Even the play has come out. What the hell is in Qian Xiaodou's head?
Sang Tianen angrily grabbed her ear, and Qian Xiaodou gasped in pain and begged for mercy, "Team Leader, Team Leader, I was wrong!"
Seeing this, Shi Zhou and Xia Tong immediately said they were full and slipped away with their plates. Only Qian Xiaodou was still wailing. Sang Tianen smiled sinisterly and said, "Qian Xiaodou, I think you're tired of living, aren't you?"
"No, no, no, not at all." Qian Xiaodou blinked, her earlobe pinched by Sang Tianen turned red. She smiled carefully and said, "Team Leader, it really hurts. Can you please stop pinching?"
Sang Tianen raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you like to play? Am I not satisfying you now?" He increased the strength of his hands.
"No, no, no." Qian Xiaodou waved his hands quickly, "Team Leader, I was really wrong. Please don't do this in public. It hurts!"
The actions of the two attracted a lot of people's attention. At this time, a tall figure suddenly blocked the sunlight slanting in through the window. A faint smell of wood wafted over, and Sang Tianen and Qian Xiaodou raised their heads at the same time.
Li Ye was holding a plate and staring at the two of them with a frown. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said to them earnestly, "A restaurant is a public place after all. Could you two colleagues please pay attention to the rules?"
Sang Tianen looked puzzled. She was just teaching Qian Xiaodou a lesson. What did it have to do with the scale?
Li Ye sighed, quickly plucked his Huanghuali bracelet with his left hand, and whispered, "Although this may offend you two, my mother always taught me to do one good deed a day, so I still have to say a few words."
Sang Tianen looked at her, wanting to see what crazy words this great god would say.
"Many times, what people call 'feelings' are actually just changes in hormone levels or a reaction in the nerve endings, not what you truly desire."
"Through certain 'stimulations', you can indeed get the 'feeling' you want to a certain extent, but what awaits you after the happiness? Longer-term emptiness and loneliness."
"Physical pleasure is only temporary, but spiritual happiness is eternal."
Sang Tianen and Qian Xiaodou looked at her blankly, totally not understanding what she was saying. Hormones and nerve endings were all on her mind. What on earth was she trying to express?
Sang Tianen was impatient and was the first to ask, "What bird language are you speaking? Can you speak human language?"
Li Ye's expression changed. She quickly leaned over, raised her eyebrows and smiled at the two of them, "I really didn't expect you two to be so wild. The boss is training his subordinates, and in the cafeteria. Wow, you really know how to have fun."
Qian Xiaodou was the first to realize what she meant. Her face immediately turned red and she cursed, "Your Second Aunt!"
As he said that, he pushed Sang Tianen away and pounced towards Li Ye. Li Ye's eyes suddenly widened, he threw the plate to Sang Tianen and ran away.
"You two are crazy!" Sang Tianen cursed behind them, "No chasing and fighting in public!"
