Chapter 27 The cowardly group is at the top and they are also cowardly today
early morning.
A cool breeze blew in from the office window. Manager Sun asked her to "go out for dinner together in the evening." Shi Meilan put one hand on the folder on the table and glanced at Lin Xinran casually.
Last night, when she was completely desperate, Hu Chengjun dug out the piece of paper from the trash can.
After turning it over, the piece of paper turned out to be the lost contract paper.
The stone pressing on Shi Meilan's back suddenly disappeared, and she was able to stand up straight again. She had strength again. This piece of paper became her life-saving straw.
After she stood up straight, she finally had two seconds to think.
How the hell did this stuff end up in the trash?
No matter how confused she was, she would never just crumple up and throw away the file after entering it into the computer.
There must have been another hand that reached into her documents while she wasn't noticing, ripping them around, crumpling them up and throwing them into the trash can.
If she had been a little lazier and more careless, she would not have discovered this.
So who could this person be?
In this entire office, there are only two people who can truly say that they "have a grudge against Shi Meilan", one is Wang Yulian and the other is Lin Xinran.
Even if the others disliked Shi Meilan, it was a very minor dislike, limited to some minor conflicts in the office, and would not expand to stealing documents.
If anything went wrong with the document, everyone in the entire office building would suffer. Only Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran hated her to this extent—in fact, sometimes Shi Meilan didn't know why they hated her.
If she were a mistress, she would definitely hide from the real man and never jump to the front. If she were the mistress's daughter, she probably wouldn't even be able to lift her head. But Lin Xinran just happened to provoke her.
Even if Wang Yulian had fought with Li Jianye that day, the blame should have been on Li Jianye, that bastard with no dick. Why blame her? What had she done to provoke anyone?
Isn’t this unreasonable!
If you think about it carefully, Wang Yulian has not been in the office for several days. Their sales department's job is to run around everywhere, and Shi Meilan can't catch her. Instead of Wang Yulian, the only one left is Lin Xinran.
Sometimes this kid is bolder than Wang Yulian. When Wang Yulian does something, she will at least think about the consequences, but these immature kids don't care about that. They really dare to do it, but they don't have the ability to take responsibility after doing it. They just leave a big mess behind and only make themselves happy.
Lin Xinran shuddered when she glanced at her, and quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at Shi Meilan.
Shi Meilan pretended not to see it, turned around with a smile and continued talking to Manager Sun.
When there was no evidence, Shi Meilan acted as if nothing had happened. While talking, she picked up the documents in her hand and walked to the third floor.
When she passed by Lin Xinran, Lin Xinran kept her head down looking at the documents in her hand, as if she didn't know Shi Meilan at all.
Shi Meilan pretended not to see her and turned around and went upstairs - now was not the time to fall out.
Shi Meilan is a very tolerant person. She won't get angry over trivial matters. She has to find a big incident to put these people to death, so she doesn't say anything now.
This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me. Shi Meilan didn't say anything, and Lin Xinran didn't dare to say anything either. They just covered it up in a confused manner, and no one knew when it would explode and spill out the poisonous water.
Shi Meilan waited for the day to come. These people were not doing their job properly and she would catch them sooner or later.
She walked up to the third floor with the documents in her hand. When she reached the door, she saw Hu Honghua sitting behind the desk outside the office on the third floor, secretly eating a bag of dried sweet potatoes.
As soon as Shi Meilan came in, Hu Honghua quickly put away the dried sweet potatoes. She looked up and saw that it was Shi Meilan, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Auntie," Hu Honghua said in a low voice, "Are you here to see me?"
"Okay, here are the documents." Shi Meilan handed them to her without saying much. She didn't want to drag Hu Honghua into the matter of Lin Xinran and Wang Yulian. She just told her to "work hard" and then went back to the second floor. Before leaving, she added, "By the way, let's go to your uncle's restaurant for dinner tonight."
Aunt Shi had told her before that her uncle opened a restaurant in the town, but she had never been there. Today was a good opportunity for them to go have dinner together.
After Shi Meilan left, Hu Honghua secretly stuffed dried sweet potatoes into her mouth while busy with work.
She had no idea that Shi Meilan was fighting with someone on the second floor. She was only immersed in the soft and sweet dried sweet potatoes.
The sunlight from outside shone through the half-open window onto her back, making it warm and comfortable. She stretched out slowly and sat leisurely.
She actually didn't have much work to do every day, because not that many people came to see Yuan Yao, so she could take advantage of the situation most of the time. When she was having a great time today, a small voice came from outside the third floor.
"safflower!"
Hu Honghua turned her head and saw Chen Chunxiang.
Chen Chunxiang was wearing a beautiful pastel pink dress today and was standing at the door to greet her.
It was obvious that Chen Chunxiang had also sneaked in to see her today. Hu Honghua subconsciously stood up and took a look inside the office.
The blinds in the office were half open, and one could vaguely see the people inside, who were probably working hard - Yuan Yao was incredibly busy, with no time to rest at all. No matter when you looked at him, he was always busy.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one saw her, Hu Honghua secretly ran to the door and talked with Chen Chunxiang in the corner.
The two of them talked endlessly. The sisters gathered together and looked at the book in Hu Honghua's hand.
The notebook was filled with all of Yuan Yao's preferences. Chen Chunxiang looked at it and suddenly blushed and said to Hu Honghua, "Honghua, can you help me ask what kind of girls Yuan Yao likes?"
Hu Honghua took note and said, "I'll ask tomorrow."
The two girls were talking together when suddenly a ring sounded in the office. Hu Honghua jumped up and said, "My phone is ringing," then left Chen Chunxiang and walked towards her desk.
Chen Chunxiang also knew that Hu Honghua was busy, so she didn't delay and ran directly to the second floor, pretending to be at work - she was just slacking off at work, since she didn't do any work anyway.
Outside the office, Hu Honghua hurriedly answered the phone and heard a serious voice on the other end: "Hello, Yuan family, looking for Yuan Yao."
Hu Honghua hurried over to inform Yuan Yao.
Before the call was transferred from Yuan Yao's office, his expression was calm, even a little cold, but the moment he answered the call, Hu Honghua felt that Yuan Yao's expression suddenly became very ugly.
"I understand." After a while, Yuan Yao finally responded on the other end of the phone and said, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
After he hung up the phone, Hu Honghua asked, "Are you going on a business trip again?"
She thought it was a work matter, but Yuan Yao shook his head and said, "No."
Yuan Yao left as soon as he said he would, and stood up to go back to Baicheng City. Hu Honghua nodded and obediently went back to sit behind her desk.
No matter where the boss goes, she still has to continue doing her job.
——
However, Hu Honghua did not take Yuan Yao's sudden departure from the garment factory seriously, but others did. After Yuan Yao left, the first person to come up and ask was Chen Chunxiang.
"Where is Yuan Yao?"
"What's going on?"
"When will you be back?"
Hu Honghua just shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know."
There was no point in Chen Chunxiang being anxious. Hu Honghua herself was a very dull person. She never asked about other people's affairs, nor would she try to dig out other people's thoughts from between the lines of other people's words.
Chen Chunxiang could only leave with regret.
After a while, Manager Sun came up and asked again, and Hu Honghua kept shaking her head.
Hu Honghua continued to shake her head: "I don't know."
She never asked.
Manager Sun could only shake his head and leave.
Because Yuan Yao was gone, Hu Honghua's work suddenly became very simple and easy. She fished and ate something, and soon it was afternoon and time to get off work.
She slowly went upstairs and went to look for her uncle with Aunt Shi.
Shi Meilan rode her bike and carried Hu Honghua from the garment factory to the mutton restaurant.
——
The mutton restaurant is still the same mutton restaurant, sitting quietly in the summer evening of July.
The doors and windows were wide open, and a faint fragrance wafted out from inside. When Hu Honghua entered the mutton restaurant, her eyes were shining and she kept looking around.
The last time she came, the mutton restaurant belonged to someone else, but this time, it was theirs.
Her uncle was standing behind the counter keeping accounts. When he heard the footsteps, he wanted to greet the customers, but when he looked up, he saw the two of them. He smiled at them and took them to find a corner to sit down.
After a while, my uncle brought over a pot of mutton soup.
Hu Honghua lowered her head and started eating.
The mutton soup was salty, fragrant and smooth, gurgling down her throat. It was delicious. While Hu Honghua was stuffing herself with it, she heard her uncle and aunt talking.
She took a bite of mutton and looked up to see her uncle asking, "How was things at the factory today?"
Hu Honghua lowered her head and ate.
"Everything is fine." Auntie sat aside, smoothed her hair with her right hand, and said softly, "Nothing is wrong."
Hu Honghua looked up and continued eating.
My uncle started to peel garlic, but not for himself, but for my aunt.
Hu Honghua looked up, then lowered her head and continued eating.
My aunt took it and ate it.
Hu Honghua suddenly looked up and said, "Uncle——"
Hu Chengjun and Shi Meilan both shuddered, as if they suddenly remembered there was someone else beside them. When they turned around, Hu Honghua said, "I want some garlic, too."
Hu Chengjun threw a whole head of garlic over and said, "Peel it yourself."
Hu Honghua said "Oh" and felt that something seemed to be wrong while peeling garlic.
Forget it, no matter what's wrong, let's eat the meat first. It tastes even better with a bite of mutton and a bite of garlic!
Hu Honghua's face was bulging from eating. Shi Meilan glanced at her, lowered her head, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of mutton, thought for a moment, and quickly put it into Hu Chengjun's bowl.
Hu Chengjun stopped talking and continued to sit there with his head down and look cowardly - the cowardly group got big points!
——
While the two of them were enjoying mutton drinks in Hu Chengjun's mutton restaurant, Wang Yulian took the first money she earned and went to find Li Jianye.
