Chapter 92 When a Relationship Hits a Wild Road
Design Director Lan Ting heard the noise and walked over in her high heels. After greeting the administrative assistant, she looked at the intern in front of her, who was dressed more like a director than she was, and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you the intern that Vice President Zhang recommended?"
"Hello, teacher. I'm Zhou Xiaomeng! I'm here for an internship in the design department."
Zhou Xiaomeng straightened her back immediately, trying to look more professional, but she couldn't help but glance at Su Nian's desk—what was going on with that pile of blueprints? Wasn't she here to do odd jobs?
——What is the origin of her unconventional ways?
Lan Ting pondered for a moment, her eyes sweeping over the design drawings piled up on Su Nian's desk. She mused, "Su Nian, you're now in charge of the design independently, and you're in need of an assistant. How about Zhou Xiaomeng join you first?"
Su Nian immediately shook her head, her fingertips unconsciously scratching the edge of the table. "Director Lan, I haven't finalized the model yet, and I'm worried I won't be able to guide the newcomer well. I'm also not familiar with the factory process, and it would be troublesome if I teach it incorrectly."
Zhou Xiaomeng was completely bewildered. What the hell? Su Nian was solely responsible for the design? Wasn't she an intern?
——This script is wrong! Did I travel to a parallel universe?
As soon as Su Nian finished speaking, Fang Xia, who had come to see Lan Ting for something, overheard her. He thought for a moment without making a sound, and then interrupted, "Su Nian does need time to adjust. She has only done concept design before, and her experience in pattern making is a bit shallow.
How about I take care of Su Nian first, and let Wu Xiao take care of the new intern? His team just needs a runner."
Su Nian looked at Fang Xia - this is simply a lifesaver!
It turns out that the feelings I have for people I met by chance in the "Family Bureau" are different.
Zhou Xiaomeng realized belatedly: So, this guy who was introduced by the vice president of my company was just being kicked around like a ball? He was demoted from "maybe following the designer" to "a runner to train his arm"?! Fortunately, he's not following Su Nian!
Lan Ting glanced at Su Nian's tense profile, then glanced at the production schedule in Fang Xia's hand, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say.
Wu Xiao, help Xiao Meng get familiar with the environment and memorize the auxiliary material supplier's information for her this afternoon."
"Memorize the auxiliary material supplier information?" The smile on Zhou Xiaomeng's face froze instantly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes - she got here through connections, shouldn't she study design?
But because Lan Ting was there, she didn't dare to get angry. She just followed Wu Xiao to the work station, passed by Su Nian, and deliberately stomped her high heels on the floor, making a "thump thump" sound, as if to vent her dissatisfaction, or as if to declare her presence.
Wu Xiao led this clearly emotional "connected person" and wondered: How should he handle this hot potato? Should he treat it with care, or should he follow the normal procedures?
He couldn't help but complain in his heart - Team Leader Fang, when did our team need someone to run errands?
Fang Xia coughed lightly at Wu Xiao's departing back, silently retorting in her heart - "Team Leader Wu, just accept this beautiful intern. What if we can develop a relationship? This is all I can help you with."
Wu Xiao - Sister, this person’s identity has just been revealed by Director Lan. I really don’t deserve to have him!
Zhou Xiaomeng, who was assigned to Wu Xiao's group workstation, turned his chair and looked around. He seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the current situation.
This Team Leader Wu is young, tall, and handsome. He is much more pleasing to the eye than that Vice President Zhang. He is a perfect match for a workplace idol drama.
"Just run errands." She adjusted her hair in front of the computer screen, thinking in her mind: As long as I am sweet-talking and good at dealing with people, and can make the team leader happy, then I can learn whatever I want, right?
If that doesn't work out, isn't there still Vice President Zhang? Are you still worried about not being able to participate in good projects?
But when her eyes swept across Su Nian's profile diagonally opposite her, who was concentrating on revising the picture, she couldn't help frowning: "What kind of luck does Su Nian have? He can actually do design independently? He has only been in the company for a short time..." When she thought of this, her mood instantly plummeted, as if she saw others winning the lottery while she was still scrambling for red envelopes.
When the cafeteria opened for lunch at noon, Zhou Xiaomeng, who was not greeted by anyone, simply played to her outgoing nature and followed Wu Xiao closely.
Her familiar and warm demeanor made Li Yue, who was standing beside her, smile, but there was a hint of gloating in her eyes.
Wu Xiao felt annoyed and embarrassed - he had made up his mind to pursue Li Yue, but now there was an intern who was sticking to him and he couldn't get rid of her. It was simply a large-scale social death scene. The road to pursuing love instantly upgraded from normal mode to hell-level difficulty.
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Wu Xiao caught sight of Vice President Zhang eating at the "executive dining table." As if grasping a lifeline, he immediately reminded the intern beside him, "Zhou Xiaomeng, Vice President Zhang is over there. Why don't you go over and say hello?"
Zhou Xiaomeng followed his gaze and saw that the short and fat Vice President Zhang was indeed eating leisurely. Then he looked at the long queue in front of him and his steps paused noticeably.
She thought quickly in her mind, then walked over with brisk steps. As soon as she reached Vice President Zhang, she instantly changed to a pitiful and innocent expression: "Vice President Zhang..."
Vice President Zhang was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared. When he saw that it was Zhou Xiaomeng, he subconsciously dodged half an inch to the side and looked around quickly - being too close to people with connections in the company cafeteria was simply digging a hole for himself.
He lowered his voice, his tone unmistakably distant: "Go back and eat with your colleagues. It's not good to sit here with me. Be obedient and go back quickly."
Zhou Xiaomeng hadn't expected to be publicly "returned," and her innocent expression nearly faltered. She bit her lower lip, pretending to be even more aggrieved, but could only retreat back to Wu Xiao's side in frustration, like a discarded puppy.
Wu Xiao felt his scalp tingling as he looked at this great god who could not be sent away.
What's more troublesome is that Zhou Xiaomeng hasn't applied for a meal card yet, so he reluctantly paid for her meal and silently cursed Fang Xia eight hundred times in his heart.
While looking for a seat with his meal tray in hand, Wu Xiao noticed an empty seat at the table in the corner. He immediately walked over and sat down, looking as if to say, "Don't follow me, I don't know you."
This time, Xiao Meng finally had no reason to come along, so she had to carry her tray and look around in the cafeteria for a seat.
Finally free of the "trap," Wu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly glanced up to find Li Yue's location and gave her a look: "Look at me! I've successfully shaken off the "tail"! Come on, praise me!"
Li Yue took a sip from the soup bowl, a sly smile flashing in her eyes - "Thank you, Sister Fang Xia! Let this piece of sticky candy stick to Team Leader Wu so that he won't bother me."
Zhou Xiaomeng, sitting alone at an unfamiliar table, poked at the rice on her plate, feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied.
She secretly glanced at Wu Xiao and Li Yue who were communicating across the air not far away, and Su Nian and Fang Xia who were chatting and laughing beside Li Yue, and became even more annoyed.
——Very good, you guys stick together in the workplace, and I have connections, let’s see who will have the last laugh!
