He reached out and picked up a can of beer, first wiped the mouth of the can carefully with a tissue, then opened the pull ring and handed it to Chen 꼎.
Chen 꼎 took it with a smile, tilted his head back and took a sip.
Su Qing picked up the second can, wiped it clean, opened it, tilted her head back and took a big gulp.
When this woman raised her head to drink, her slender neck was very white and sexy, and you could even see the blue veins beneath her skin.
After drinking half a can in one breath, Su Qing paid attention to her image and wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Phew, much more comfortable."
Chen 꼎 smiled but did not stop him.
"It seems that you are in a very good mood."
"Would you like to tell me about it? I'm sure it will feel better if you tell me."
Su Qing turned her head to look at Chen 꼎 and muttered in a low voice.
"What's there to say?"
Chen 꼎 opened the package, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.
"Tell me about tonight."
"I remember that you joined a foreign company after graduation?"
Su Qing held a beer and stared blankly at the night view of the city outside the window.
After a while, he sighed.
"It's really hard for a stranger with no background to make a name for himself in the capital."
Chen knew why Su Qing expressed such emotion, but he could understand what she meant.
Su Qing took a sip of beer and then spoke slowly.
"Tell me, is a woman's beauty an advantage or a disadvantage?"
Chen 꼎 smiled and said, "Of course it is an advantage."
"Yeah?"
Su Qing turned her head and looked over.
“Why do I think it’s a shortcoming?”
"How do you know?"
"The foreign company I worked for before had very good benefits. I worked diligently and never complained. I just hope I can gain a foothold in Beijing through my own efforts."
"If possible, I imagine that I can buy a house here that truly belongs to me through my own efforts."
"The house doesn't need to be too big, a one-bedroom and one-living room is fine. This way I can feel a little warmth in this city."
"But in the workplace, being beautiful doesn't seem to be an advantage for women."
"I was excluded by my colleagues, and there were all kinds of gossips and rumors. I also had to face the targeting from my company..."
Through Su Qing's rambling narration, Chen 꼎 finally understood how Su Qing had been through the past few years.
In the previous foreign company, she was not so sociable in the whole department because of her beautiful appearance and her cold and arrogant personality.
In addition, Su Qing was too outstanding, so naturally she was excluded by her colleagues.
Her department manager is a woman who often targets Su Qing with various arguments. Later, Su Qing was even allowed to handle specific matters and only do some odd jobs.
Su Qing is such a proud person.
Naturally, I suffered this humiliation. So he resigned.
After resigning, I found my current job.
As a result, because of her beautiful looks, she is often taken by her manager to various drinking parties.
For work, she endured it.
Who would have thought that the company would do all kinds of PUA to her and have good intentions towards her.
This was the situation today. Originally, Mr. Sun told her that it was just a normal dinner party. In order for the company to get financing, he asked Wen Wan to help introduce the company's current situation.
After I went there, I realized that it was exactly the case.
With Su Qing's personality, she naturally couldn't tolerate such a thing.
If Chen Xiao happened to appear there tonight, Su Qing would be in danger tonight.
Su Qing felt suffocated, so she drank quickly.
Before Chen 꼎 finished his first can, Su Qing had already finished two and was starting on the third.
Chen 꼎 just glanced at it and did not dissuade him.
"Would you like to hear my opinion as a person who has been through this before?"
Su Qing turned around and glared at Chen 꼎.
"Someone who has been here?"
Chen 꼎 smiled and said, "Although we are the same age, I at least have more work experience than you, right?"
Su Qing had no way to refute this, so she nodded.
"Go ahead."
Chen 꼎 put down his beer and looked at the other person and said.
"I think the main reason for all this is you."
Su Qing glared at Chen 缎 with some embarrassment and anger.
"I?"
Chen nodded.
"You're too easy to accept what I said."
"But the truth is the most acceptable and likely thing."
"Do you know why?"
Su Qing had already drunk three cans of beer and her eyes were a little blurry.
I shook my head subconsciously.
Chen 꼎: "Because you are too arrogant."
Su Qing: “…”
Chen Xiao smiled and explained: "Arrogance is arrogance, indifference, contempt and aloofness."
"To put it in the most common terms, you are a bit... gregarious."
"Of course I know this is because of your personality. It's not something you pretend to do."
"When we were in school, you were the campus beauty, the goddess that countless boys secretly loved..."
When talking about the goddess she had a crush on, Su Qing blinked and her pretty face blushed slightly.
"In an ivory tower like school, if you are a little aloof and withdrawn, everyone will take it for granted."
"She's a school beauty. A goddess should be high and mighty. The colder and more aloof she is, the more people will think it's normal."
"If you laugh and joke with everyone every day, sit on the roadside and eat skewers... you will ruin your image as a goddess in the eyes of boys."
At this point, Chen 꼎 paused.
"but……"
"I'm going to say but. But the workplace is different from school."
“The workplace has its own set of survival rules.”
"In the workplace, no one cares who you are. The rule here is the survival of the fittest."
"Your character has become your weakness."
"If you want to do well in the workplace, you need to be sociable, you need to integrate, you need to take the initiative to build good relationships with your colleagues, and you need to curry favor with the company."
"What the boss likes is obedient, serious and capable employees. This is especially true for female bosses."
"You are sociable and participate in group activities, so people will think you are arrogant and easy to get along with."
"Especially since you are so beautiful, it will cause pressure on other employees, and naturally make others regard you as a competitor."
"If this continues for a long time, you will naturally feel that everyone around you is gradually distancing themselves from you and are full of hostility towards you."
Su Qing lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was still thinking about what Chen Yu had said.
Chen 꼎 picked up the beer can and took a sip, then continued.
"I know you. I know that you are born like this. You like to speak in a low-key and silent manner. But in the eyes of your colleagues, these behaviors of yours are just arrogance and looking down on others."
"The workplace has its own set of survival rules."
"If you want to survive here, you must first learn to change yourself and try to blend in."
Su Qing raised her head and glanced at Chen 꼎, and said softly.
“Does it have to be changed?”
Chen nodded: "You are just a low-level employee. You just want to gain a foothold, that's all."
"Get on good terms with colleagues, and then 'understand' the company's intentions. Of course..."
"Unless you become the leader yourself."
"Of course you need to consider other people's faces."
Chen 꼎 smiled when he said this.
"Student Su, you still have a lot to learn."
