Chapter 159 The next day, the chatterbox started yelling about her living at the president's house...
Zhou Ying wasn't here to accuse anyone. She politely asked, "Xiao Yao, Xu Wei said my daughter Zhou Juan is clamoring to change jobs. I'd like to ask if she's made a mistake again."
"Aunt Zhou, I think Zhou Juan may need some psychological counseling. She always stares at other people's things. This habit is not good." Yao Zhizhi was a little annoyed with Zhou Juan. She was causing trouble every day. So, she decided to let Zhou Ying take her home and discipline her properly.
He then explained the whole story, including how Zhou Juan had gone to great lengths to find out how much other people had received during the Lunar New Year holiday.
She concluded, "Her recent positive progress is a good thing, and I'm glad to see this change. However, her motivations are a bit utilitarian. If I can't give her a 30 yuan red envelope at the end of the year, will she get angry with me? Aunt Zhou, you should have a good talk with her when you have time."
Zhou Ying sighed silently. "I've really spoiled this child. I heard she even yelled that you can't use this name? Xiao Yao, please don't take it to heart. She's the youngest in the family, and I've spoiled her so much that she doesn't know her place. I really regret this."
Yao Zhizhi smiled. "Aunt Zhou, the name is just a symbol, it's nothing serious. It's mainly Zhou Juan's personality that's a big problem. If I don't intervene, the other colleagues will definitely be dissatisfied. If I intervene, she'll get angry again. It's not easy for me to do that either. Aunt Zhou, why don't you let her go to another unit to gain experience? Maybe she'll find that her colleagues at the publishing house are already quite tolerant of her. For example, last year, Wu Wei and Zhang Datong quietly helped her with those proofreading tasks, and never once took credit for them."
Zhou Ying understood and thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll think about how to arrange it. I may not be able to transfer in the next few days. Thank you for your concern. Don't make it a big deal with her."
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhou, I know what to do." Yao Zhizhi hung up the phone.
I don’t know whether Zhou Ying really regretted it or was just being polite.
I couldn't help but think of Yao Jingjing in the past, who was also spoiled by her parents, brothers and sisters and became arrogant and domineering.
Perhaps the youngest child in a family is more likely to have this problem?
Then she must be more vigilant and not let Xiaoyue become such a naive child.
There is a difference between loving a child and spoiling a child.
If you keep doting on someone, in the end, it will definitely end in drowning, which is not good.
Yao Zhizhi silently watched her daughter who was learning to eat, walked back and touched little Nini's head.
Baby, baby, please don't do this.
Look at Little Star again, wow, he is like a little adult, he even knows to help his sister pick out fish bones.
She smiled with relief and sat down to watch the brother and sister eat.
I couldn't help but remind her, "Xingxing, if your sister does something wrong in the future, don't hide it for her. Help mom and dad remind her to correct it in time, okay?"
"Okay, Mom! I've got it!" Little Xingxing looked up seriously, finished the last bite of rice in his bowl, and continued to concentrate on helping his sister pick out fish bones.
For a moment, Yao Zhizhi felt a little hopeful. It shouldn’t be her child, right?
I hope not. She didn't want to scold her child harshly. The thought of it made her feel a little bit reluctant.
As expected, this person can say one thing about others but not necessarily about himself.
I can't help but laugh.
The child hasn't made any mistakes yet, why are you thinking about all these things?
Okay, Little Moon has finished eating. Wipe her mouth and let her and Little Star take a nap.
When I arrived at the office in the afternoon, I didn’t see Zhou Juan.
Xu Wei called and apologized: "Sorry, Editor-in-Chief Yao, Zhou Juan is not feeling well today and needs to take half a day off."
Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything and just approved it.
Zhou Juan was bored in the afternoon, so she simply followed Xu Wei to the university.
After asking around, I found out that a teacher in the library was on maternity leave and they needed someone to cover for her.
Zhou Juan became excited and wanted to give it a try.
Xu Wei asked, "Think it over carefully. The publishing house has been doing well in the past two years, and jobs there are very popular. If you quit, it will be difficult to get a job again."
"I didn't say I was quitting." Zhou Juan rolled her eyes. "I'll ask the doctor for a medical record, ask for sick leave, and try working at your library for a month. Isn't that all right? Anyway, President Li won't refuse for my mom's sake."
Xu Wei was helpless and advised: "Do you think this is a good idea?"
"Why is it not good? Yao criticized me in front of everyone and forced me to apologize to Wu Wei! And you still speak for her?" Zhou Juan was very angry. What was wrong with her husband? He always spoke for Yao Zhizhi.
Xu Wei was speechless. "I didn't help her. I'm not blaming anyone for the incident. You're the one who did the wrong thing. Wu Wei's mother is dying, and you're still taking off her scarf. If I were him, I wouldn't be able to stand you either."
"Xu Wei! In your eyes, I am not even as good as an outsider, am I?" Zhou Juan cried in anger. What kind of person is this?
Xu Wei didn't want to argue with her: "Okay, okay, do whatever you want. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the university campus is not as simple as you think. There are also small groups and circles. There are also all kinds of unwritten rules. You may not be able to handle it."
"Don't bother me, just arrange it for me, I want to try it!" Zhou Juan was so angry that everyone was against her.
Xu Wei had no choice but to contact a doctor and the person in charge of the library for her.
After all the hassle, I finally managed to get the leave application to the publishing house before getting off work.
Yao Zhizhi ignored her and asked Xiao Jiang to give the leave note to the president.
The president had nothing to say, and not wanting to offend Zhou Ying, he readily approved the leave.
He also instructed the accountant to pay the salaries as usual.
Yao Zhizhi laughed out of anger, okay, this is the nature of a society based on human relationships.
Fortunately, the president is about to retire. When the time comes, he should get out of here and stop being an eyesore.
The next day, Zhou Juan arrived at the library, excited and ready to show off her skills, but found that her colleagues' attitudes were very cold.
She took the initiative to greet people, but they just nodded politely and awkwardly without any extra greetings.
Zhou Juan was dumbfounded. This shouldn't be the case. She was new and hadn't offended anyone, so why was he ignoring her?
It was not until she went to the bathroom and heard her colleagues whispering through the door that she realized she had fallen into a trap again.
A middle-aged woman in her forties said disdainfully while pulling up her trousers, "That new Zhou Juan is Teacher Xu's lover? I never thought she'd be good-looking, but she can't do anything."
"That's right. He didn't even ask about the local customs before coming here, nor did he bring any snacks. He doesn't know how to interact with people. He really has such a pretty face that he's wasted." Another man in his thirties was also a chatterbox.
"That's not true. Maybe he's just relying on his good looks and not bothering to delve into interpersonal relationships. People like him are bound to suffer big losses sooner or later."
"That's not necessarily true. Teacher Xu treats her like a baby and even holds her hand when she goes up and down the stairs."
"Could it be that she's pregnant?"
"I don't think so. If she's pregnant, shouldn't she just stay at home and lie down? But I heard this second-generation rich kid is very spoiled. When she was at the publishing house, she was sneaky and sly, pushing the work onto others, and she offended a lot of people."
"My goodness, you have such a bad temper? Then I'd better be careful."
"That's right. I have to be careful too. He's lucky and has someone to back him up."
After washing their hands, the two women went out.
He didn't notice Zhou Juan squatting in the corner at all.
When Zhou Juan stood up, she was in a daze.
So her bad reputation at the publishing house has spread outside? Who is so mean?
She had to find time to ask.
After get off work, she asked for the president's address and went there.
When they got there, they found out that Ye Zheng actually lived in the president's house. Zhou Juan was dumbfounded. Looking at Ye Zheng serving tea and water like a servant, she wanted to say something several times, but felt it was inappropriate, so she held back.
After taking the hot tea poured by Ye Zheng, Zhou Juan pondered for a moment and asked, "President, I want to ask, have you heard anyone spreading rumors about me?"
President Li laughed and said, "What rumor? How come I didn't know about it?"
Zhou Juan smiled awkwardly. "It's just... didn't I take a lot of leave last year because I wasn't feeling well? Someone spread rumors that I was deliberately cheating and pushing the work onto others. President, if you hear anything, please tell me. It might be that person misunderstanding, so I have to defend myself."
President Li, a cunning and shrewd workplace veteran, pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth. He said, "You haven't heard of it? How could such a thing happen?"
"Yes, even my husband's colleagues at work believed such rumors and made up stories about me behind my back." Zhou Juan lowered her eyelashes in grievance, a typical gesture of acting like a spoiled child to her elders.
President Li wasn't fooled. He smiled and said, "It must be a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart. Think about it, our publishing house is doing so well. We might even have enough money to build dormitories in two years. I wonder how many people will be jealous. Plus, you get commissions for expanding the magazine's sales. Won't the jealous people be so anxious? Relax. The more anxious they are, the better your work is. You should be happy."
That’s true, Zhou Juan was convinced.
When he came, he was still angry and wanted to find someone to argue with, but when he left, he was smiling and in a good mood.
Ye Zheng had to admire the president's ability to fool people, and silently taught herself a lesson in her heart.
Learn something, it will come in handy when dealing with people like Zhou Juan in the future.
However, Ye Zheng never expected that the next day Zhou Juan would start complaining about her living in the president's house.
As soon as she arrived at the office that morning, Xiao Song looked at her incredulously: "I heard you're living at the president's house? Is that convenient? Why don't you come live at my parents' house? My family consists of my mom, my sister, and my sister-in-law, all of whom are lesbians. You're an unmarried woman, so you have to avoid suspicion."
Ye Zheng was stunned and silent for a long time. He could only say that he would think about it.

On the day off, Yao Zhizhi asked her third brother and father to take care of her two children, called Qi Changxiao, borrowed the backpack from her parents-in-law, and went to Hulu Commune together.
Qi Changxiao was driving the car, Yao Zhizhi was sitting in the back, and Yang Shuming was sitting in the sidecar.
There was a cool breeze along the way and we soon arrived at Hulu Commune.
