Chapter 67 The Biggest Fool in the World
"Director Wen, congratulations on your recovery." Wu Ling said with a smile.
"Thank you, Director Wu." Wen Liang said with a faint expression.
"Director Wen hasn't been here these past few days. I thought you were too embarrassed to see anyone!"
Wen Liang smiled faintly, "It seems Director Wu just had half of his year-end bonus docked, and he's very happy! He gave up so much money just to disgust me. Director Wu is really willing to spend a lot of money."
Wu Ling's face froze, and then she said, "Wen Liang, do you think you won?"
"What's the meaning?"
Wu Ling raised her eyebrows. "Do you think that was really an intern's mistake?"
Wen Liang remained silent. Of course she knew that it was Wu Ling who accidentally liked the post, and the intern was just taking the blame for Wu Ling.
Seeing her expression, Wu Ling smiled. "You already know it was me who did it, doesn't Mr. Fu know? But he still chose to protect me and put the blame on the intern. What do you think this means?"
What does it represent?
Wenliang lowered his eyes.
She knew in her heart that it meant Fu Zheng didn't care about her, and that in Fu Zheng's heart, Chu Siyi was much more important.
Just because Wu Ling and Wen Liang were not on good terms and were restraining each other, no matter how much Wu Ling slandered her, she would not be transferred from the position of Director of the Public Relations Department.
Wu Ling is much more important than her reputation.
Wu Ling continued, "Even if I impose a larger year-end bonus as a fine, it's just a bonus. First, it doesn't touch my salary. Second, there's still some time before the end of the year, so maybe I can get it back. You're the only one who takes this mild punishment seriously. Wen Liang, now you should understand your position in Mr. Fu's heart, right? He spoke in the group, seemingly defending you, but in reality, you received nothing."
My reputation is still bad and my work is still not going well.
Wen Liang thought fortunately, fortunately she was not moved by Fu Zheng's protection.
Otherwise she would be the biggest fool in the world.
Fortunately, she has seen Fu Zheng's true face.
"I'm very curious, Director Wu, why are you so malicious towards me?" Wen Liang asked, changing the subject.
"Why? Can't it be that I just naturally dislike you?"
Wen Liang said categorically: "Impossible."
Wen Liang was, after all, the Fu family's adopted daughter, favored by the Vice Chairman. Even if others disliked her, they wouldn't show it on their faces. Everyone has an instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, especially Wu Ling, who had reached the position of Director of the Public Relations Department.
There is nothing wrong with Wu Ling being straightforward.
But after working with her for so many years, Wen Liang knew very well that Wu Lingxingzi was extremely smooth and had two different faces in front of different people.
There must be a reason why they are targeting her.
"What's impossible?"
"Director Wu, you keep talking about President Fu. Could it be that you like President Fu? You target me because you're jealous. I'm an ordinary person, but I was adopted by the Fu family and can get close to President Fu. You feel unbalanced, right?" Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and guessed.
"Wen Liang. What nonsense are you talking about? Don't slander me!" Wu Ling's face changed and she scolded angrily.
Wen Liang became more and more confident, "Why? Are you angry because I said it right?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Wu Ling denied it and left in a hurry.
Wen Liang smiled and turned back to his office.
After returning to her office, Wu Ling thought about it and finally opened her phone and sent a WeChat message to Fu Zheng, "Mr. Fu, if Director Wen said anything offensive, please don't mind it."
After a long while, Fu Zheng replied to her: "?"
"Nothing. Just a reminder to Mr. Fu."
If Fu Zheng believed Wen Liang, it would be difficult for her to stay with him.
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Fu Zheng sent a message saying that he had a social event in the evening and asked Wen Liang to go home first.
Wen Liang didn't ask the driver to pick him up, but took a taxi at the company gate and went to Jinsheng Plaza first.
She was craving the Black Forest cake from that old bakery.
"Master, please wait for me here. I'm going to buy something and will be back soon." Wen Liang instructed the driver, got off the car and walked quickly into Jinsheng Plaza.
This bakery is called Afternoon Time. It has been open in Jinsheng Plaza for many years and its business is very popular.
When Wenliang passed, there were many people in the store.
She walked straight to the glass cabinet on the left and asked the bakery employee to choose a piece of Black Forest cake and a Napoleon for her. She lined up to pay and left with the paper bag.
As soon as she walked out of the bakery, Wen Liang bumped into two women. She said "sorry" and prepared to leave by a detour.
Suddenly someone called her, "Wenliang?"
Wen Liang paused and turned around, only to find that among the two women, the one wearing a mask and a hat was actually Chu Siyi.
The person next to her who is not wearing a mask is her assistant.
Chu Siyi took a step forward and glanced at the package in Wen Liang's hand. "Come to buy cake? You also like cakes from this shop? Coincidentally, I like them too."
"So it's Miss Chu. How can you find time to come and buy a cake in person when you're so busy?"
"certainly."
"Then buy it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Wen Liang turned and left.
Chu Siyi said from behind, "Wait, you bought the Black Forest cake, right?"
Wen Liang froze.
The packaging of Afternoon Time is an exquisite paper box with a cake inside. From the outside, you can’t see anything at all. Why did Chu Siyi know?
"You're curious about why I know this, right?" Chu Siyi smiled as she slowly walked over to Wen Liang, her eyes visible through her mask. "Because I also like this Black Forest cake."
Wen Liang pursed her lips tightly, she had already anticipated what Chu Siyi would say.
She should have left.
But her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and she couldn't lift them.
"I remember when Zheng and I were still dating, he knew I liked this Black Forest cake and would often bring it to me. Especially when we were arguing, he would bring me a piece of Black Forest cake and I would forgive him. But then one time, we had a big fight and he brought me a cake. I was still angry and turned him away. Later, he must have given the cake to you. I remember seeing the circle of friends you posted that night. Seeing how much you liked it, I didn't remind you."
Wenliang's heart sank to the bottom, and the cold wind was howling.
I see.
I see.
Wen Liang carried the packaging paper bag and walked out of Jinsheng Plaza slowly.
Seeing the trash can on the side of the road, she walked over quickly, put on a wooden face, and threw the paper bag into it.
Wen Liang closed his eyes and strode towards the taxi.
"Girl, didn't you want to buy something? Why haven't you bought it yet?" The driver started talking when he saw Wen Liang coming back.
Wen Liang smiled faintly, "It's sold out, so I didn't buy it. Let's go."
The driver didn't ask any more questions and started the car and drove towards Xinghewan.
Wen Liang sat in the back seat, leaning back and looking at the street scene outside the window. He blinked a few times and his eyes became moist unconsciously.
Why does she like Black Forest cake?
When she first arrived at the Fu family, Wen Liang was quiet and cautious. Fu's relatives all said that she was very well-behaved and obedient.
She and Fu Zheng have a close but distant relationship, just an acquaintance.
Wen Liang only dared to secretly glance at him a few times where Fu Zheng couldn't see her, and she was satisfied.
Until one day, Fu Zheng came back from outside with a paper bag in his hand. Wen Liang was doing homework in the living room. Seeing him come back, she called out "Second Brother". Fu Zheng's steps on the way upstairs suddenly stopped, walked up to her, put the paper bag in front of her, and said, "Wen Liang, I brought you a cake."
