Chapter 121 Rumors

Rumors

"...I understand. I'll go now."

Although they were interns from the same batch, Chi Dong and Lin An'an were treated very differently. One was assigned to do odd jobs in a corner and was bullied by everyone, while the other was assigned to be an assistant to the manager and was welcomed everywhere.

Chi Dong didn't understand the reason, but he had argued before and it was completely useless. Now he just wanted to work peacefully.

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go find Manager Liu. However, before he could take a step, he was grabbed by Lin An'an at the side with such force that he almost fell to the ground.

Chi Dong quickly used his hands to steady himself on the table, then frowned and looked over, angrily saying, "What are you doing?"

Lin An'an curled his lips, a strange expression appeared on his baby face, and he tilted his head slightly and smiled at him, "You're finished."

"What do you mean?"

Chi Dong looked at him in confusion. His originally bright eyes were now filled with bewilderment and astonishment. Although he didn't know why he said that, he could see the malice in Lin An'an's eyes even if he was blind.

In fact, what Chi Dong couldn't understand the most was that they had a pleasant chat during the interview, but after he officially joined the company, Lin An'an suddenly hated him so much.

After hearing his words, Lin An'an sneered and said gloatingly, "You took someone else's position, and now this is the consequence of your taking the position."

"...What? I took someone else's place?"

Chi Dong didn't understand what he meant at all. What did it mean to take someone else's position? Whose position did he take?

Seeing that Lin An'an looked indignant and angry, Chi Dong estimated that he would not answer even if he asked, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to him to avoid embarrassing himself.

Thinking of this, he took two steps back, walked around the table to the other side, and went straight to the manager's office.

Behind him, Lin An'an stared coldly at Chi Dong who didn't even turn his head, sneering softly, "I hope you can still be so calm later, hum!"

After saying this, he was about to leave when his eyes were suddenly attracted by something on the table. He reached out and picked it up, looking at it for a few seconds, his eyes rolled around and he sneered.

He first looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he turned his wrist slightly, and a small bulge appeared on his flat pocket instantly. It would not be noticeable if you didn't look closely, so he pretended nothing happened and left.

………

On the other hand, Chi Dong, who was completely unaware of the matter, came to the door of the manager's office. When he knocked on the door, he realized that he was not wearing his hearing aid. He was worried that Manager Liu would wait too long, so he gave up the idea of ​​going back to get it.

Fortunately, he had learned a little lip reading, and his other ear could hear a little, so as long as the speed of speech was not too fast and he listened carefully, he could still make out what they were saying.

Chi Dong knocked on the door, and as soon as he entered, the curtains were drawn, immediately blocking out all the curious glances.

Some people who were sitting near the manager's office saw the curtains being lowered, and their desire to see the excitement suddenly swelled. Some people who were curious even stopped working and stretched their necks to look inside, wishing they could open the door and rush in to see the scene directly.

…………

"Hey, you guys, is that someone being criticized in there?"

"Hmm~ I can't tell. When I see Special Assistant Chen smiling gently, I don't think he's here to call me to task."

"That makes sense, but..."

"But what?"

"However, how come Special Assistant Chen is getting more and more handsome? You don't know, I was next to him just now, and he exuded a strong sweet fragrance, it smelled so good!"

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered that the scent was from Special Assistant Chen. I thought it was a new perfume bought by one of the sisters. I want to know where she bought it. I also want to get a few bottles."

A few people were huddled together, talking in low voices, glancing towards the door from time to time with a look of prying eyes on their faces. Apart from them, a small number of other people just thought they were very boring.

They are not so active in their normal work, but they are so hesitant to eavesdrop on gossip. I don’t know what Manager Liu was thinking. A few months ago, he transferred several hard-working and motivated people away through rotation opportunities, and only left these petty, lazy and slacking relatives.

We finally got two interns, thinking they could share the workload, but it turns out that these conscientious, hardworking and very capable people have been squeezed out and targeted by these people until now. I am really impressed.

Not only was he squeezed out, but he was also assigned a lot of chores that were irrelevant to work, making it difficult for them to even ask him to do any work.

It's not that they don't want to help, but they can't afford to offend the backers behind these people, so they can only watch them act recklessly and do all kinds of things.

However, what no one knows is that, on the surface, they appear to be aiding and abetting the evil, but in reality, it is someone else who has made Chi Dong a thorn in everyone's eyes.

…………

"Fairy sisters, what are you talking about? Can I join in?"

Lin An'an walked over slowly with a bright smile on his face. Not far away he saw these people gathered around the table, chattering non-stop.

But he had to take these people's background into consideration, and he became impatient during the meal.

So after entering the company, he deliberately approached and tried to please them, using all kinds of sweet words and sugar-coated bullets to make them happy and smiling.

There is no woman in the world who doesn't like a sweet and handsome boy, so compared to Chi Dong who only does chores every day and is as stubborn as a piece of wood and has no idea how to please them, isn't it obvious who to choose?

What's more, Lin An'an's uncle is Director Lin, so it is obvious who has a more serious relationship with him.

Coincidentally, Sister Xuan, who asked Chidong to deliver the documents, was one of this group of people.

When Sister Xuan saw that it was Lin An'an, she felt relieved and said with a charming smile, "Oh, it's you, Xiao Lin. I was so scared. We thought it was Special Assistant Chen."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. It's all my fault. I'm sorry, all the fairy sisters."

Although Lin An'an was tired of dealing with them, in order to profit from it, he had to suppress his hatred and speak nicely to them.

"What are you sisters talking about? You look so happy."

"Hehe~ We were talking about how Special Assistant Chen is going to call for justice!"

Lin An'an raised his lips to an ambiguous smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes. "Then...did you hear what Special Assistant Chen said?"

"No, that's not the case. As soon as that person entered, the curtains were drawn. Now we can't see anything."

After hearing this, Lin An'an's eyes flashed with displeasure. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the manager's office for a few seconds. Before he could look away, the tightly closed door suddenly opened.

Everyone looked up and saw Liu Ke and Chen Lian walking in the front, followed closely by the protagonist they were discussing, Chi Dong.

The expressions of the three people were as usual. Some laughed when they should laugh, some were serious when they should be serious, and some were silent when they should be silent. It was hard to tell what they said in their conversation.

Liu Ke nodded slightly to Chen Lian, and then her eyes involuntarily turned to the person next to her, "Assistant Chen, I have a few urgent matters to deal with today, so I'll send you to the door and have someone take you back."

Chen Lian waved his hands and said slowly, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll take this little student away first, and I'll bring him back after I'm done with this."

Liu Ke readily agreed, and then turned her gaze to Chi Dong who was behind her, "Chi Dong, you should do your best. As for the work, you don't have to worry about it. I will arrange for someone else to take over."

"Okay, manager." Chi Dong nodded, trying hard to force a smile, and gently closed his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a row of faint shadows under the cover of his glasses.

Chen Lian said politely, "Then we'll leave first." After that, he glanced at the crowd in an inaudible manner, and soon he took Chi Dong and left in the elevator.

…………

The two of them hurried to the monitoring room in silence.

Chen Lian was not a talkative person, and General Bu had repeatedly reminded him before the trip not to get too close to Chi Dong, as he didn't like it. So Chen Lian kept a proper distance from Chi Dong all the way.

Chi Dong didn't say anything because he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes and history repeating itself, where flattery turned into criticism.

When he first arrived, in an effort to overcome the barriers to communicating with others, he tried to please his colleagues, but in the end all he got was cold words. Now he doesn't want to hear these words anymore, so he gradually lost the desire to initiate conversations.

Before Chen Lian brought Chi Dong here, he asked someone to notify the logistics manager Zhang Qifei to come along. As soon as they arrived, Zhang Qifei was already waiting inside.

"Special Assistant Chen, you are finally here."

After receiving the notice, Zhang Qifei immediately rushed to the monitoring room and waited. However, it was the first time for him to see Chen Lianhui personally bringing people down, and he couldn't stop being surprised.

Chen Lian nodded slightly: "Manager Zhang."

Zhang Qifei smiled flatteringly: "Assistant Chen, we have prepared the video you requested."

"Well, let's get started."

Zhang Qifei responded cautiously, then stood up and said to the young man standing not far away, "Xiaowu, go and turn on the machine quickly."

Chen Lian watched the young man named Xiao Wu play the video quickly. Chi Dong stared at the screen closely, holding a notebook and a pen in his hands.

Because the copied video was long, they tuned it to 4:30 p.m., which was almost time to get off work. Everyone sat together on rows of stools, and the video was projected directly onto the big screen.

Time passed minute by minute, and Chi Dong watched very carefully. He didn't want to miss any problematic places.

So when he saw Sister Xuan and another person appear on the screen, Chi Dong stood up suddenly and frowned. These two people...

But the video was played at too fast a speed, and before Chi Dong could take a good look at it, the scene changed, and Sister Xuan and the other person disappeared.

His intuition told him that the clip at this time was very important. After thinking about it, he directly asked Chen Lian, "Assistant Chen, I want to adjust the playback speed of the video. Is this okay with you?"

Chen Lian smiled and replied, "Of course you can. President Bu has instructed that you will be in charge of this matter. I will only be responsible for the recommendation.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the side, and looked at Zhang Qifei, whose forehead was bleeding inexplicably, and signaled him to adjust the video.

Zhang Qifei didn't know who Chi Dong who was following Chen Lian, but from Chen Lian's respectful tone, which also mentioned General Bu, he subconsciously thought that Chi Dong was the person sent by Bu Qianli to supervise his work.
