Chapter 22: Team Leader Chen Discovers He Is Being Teased by Lin Wanqing
Team Leader Chen sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I thought Lin Wanqing was very capable, but who could have imagined that the manuscript she handed me would be like that! I had no choice but to translate it from scratch during my lunch break."
His stomach growled in agreement, and Team Leader Chen smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I..."
"You haven't eaten yet." Director Zhou pointed to the lunch box on his desk and said, "That's right, I have some extra. Eat it quickly."
"That won't do." Team Leader Chen repeatedly declined, "The Director must have eaten too. How can I eat your lunch?"
Director Zhou said, "I've eaten."
He gestured for Team Leader Chen to sit down. "We all know how much you've contributed to the factory over the years. Sit down. This meal is for you."
"I'm so sorry!" Team leader Chen was flattered and sat down on the sofa, unable to hide his surprise.
But she was still a little puzzled. Didn't she say that the translation manuscript was needed urgently? Not only did no one urge her during the entire lunch break, but now the manuscript was placed on the desk, and Director Zhou didn't even look at it, and didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Although Team Leader Chen was puzzled, she didn't think much about it. First, she was really hungry, and second, Team Leader Chen's attitude towards her made her feel a little flattered.
What does it mean that her boss has noticed her efforts over the years? It means that she will definitely be promoted in the future!
Team leader Chen opened the lunch box, took a bite, and said with a smile, "I knew it was from the same cafeteria the moment I tasted it!"
"Really?" Director Zhou smiled lovingly, "This kid is really thoughtful."
The chef in a canteen used to be the head chef in a big hotel. He has good cooking skills and has the most people going there to eat. It is always crowded and you have to fight for food.
Even for those with stuttering, one has to use connections to get help.
Team Leader Chen ate his meal in a hurry and said subconsciously, "Yeah, everyone around Director Zhou is smart."
Director Zhou shook his head and said nothing, but just told her, "Hurry up and eat."
Team leader Chen suddenly felt a little nervous, not knowing whether she had said something wrong. She didn't dare to say anything else and just lowered her head and ate her meal quickly.
After finishing the meal, she washed the dishes, wiped the water clean, and carefully placed them on Director Zhou's desk, saying, "Director Zhou, thank you for your lunch. I've washed the lunch box and put it here for you."
Director Zhou looked up at her and smiled. "Lin Wanqing prepared this meal. She knew you were too busy to eat, so she left it with me. Fortunately, she asked me to remind you to eat it when you submitted your manuscript."
"Give her the lunch box."
"Ah?" Team Leader Chen blushed. "Yes, was it Wanqing who brought the food? Especially for me?"
Director Zhou nodded. "Okay, that's enough. You can go out now. I still have to work."
Team leader Chen glanced at the lunch box in his hand and walked out.
I will just put on a show in front of Director Zhou and pretend to be a good person!
Team leader Chen thought about it and realized that this was not a simple matter. This was a demonstration for her! He wanted to tell her that the factory director was backing him up!
She felt uncomfortable when she thought about having to thank Lin Wanqing later.
She walked forward muttering to herself, and when she reached the corner, Team Leader Chen happened to meet the clerk who had gone to her office to pick up the manuscript at noon.
Although he was just a clerk, he was close to Director Zhou and was the object of flattery by many people.
Team leader Chen quickly walked over and tried to establish a relationship with the factory manager. "Zhou Ke, thank you for blocking me today. Otherwise, I would have a hard time reporting to Factory Manager Zhou."
Zhou Ke said puzzledly, "I submitted the translation a long time ago."
"Besides, the seminar is over. What's the point of submitting your translation now? It's too late."
"Huh?" Team Leader Chen was a little confused. "I just finished translating it and submitted it."
"Lin Wanqing handed me the translation as soon as I left your office." Zhou Ke chuckled and said, "How come you don't know?"
"By the way, Director Zhou also praised your department, saying that you have strong professional capabilities and are conscientious and responsible in your work. He is especially optimistic about you!"
Team leader Chen suddenly felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.
What did it matter that she had just said bad things about Lin Wanqing to Director Zhou? The director must have seen her performance just now, but he didn't expose her, saving her face.
Lin Wanqing had been setting a trap for her from the beginning to the end. She watched her busy and exhausted for the entire afternoon without reminding her that the manuscript had been submitted and the meeting was over.
Then, someone prepared the food and sent it to the factory director's office, waiting for her to eat!
Isn't this like closing the door and beating the dog?
Besides, can anyone enter the factory director's office at will? But Lin Wanqing can, which is equivalent to telling her how close her relationship with Factory Director Zhou is...
Anyway, she had lost both her face and dignity. Team Leader Chen thought a lot on the way back, and the more he thought, the more upset he became.
From beginning to end, I was fooled by Lin Wanqing like a fool.
The most frustrating thing for her was that she couldn't tell anyone about it. After all, it was too embarrassing! No one in the office knew about it, and they didn't know how sinister Lin Wanqing was.
Team leader Chen walked faster and faster, and stumbled over a stone. She was annoyed and stretched out her leg to kick the stone hard, but ended up grimacing in pain.
It was not until he reached the office that Team Leader Chen tried hard to calm himself down, then pushed the door open and walked in with a fake smile.
"Wanqing, here's your lunch box, thank you." She tried hard to curl the corners of her mouth and put the lunch box on Lin Wanqing's desk.
"You're welcome." Lin Wanqing put away her lunch box.
Wan Jiajia craned her neck to look. "Wanqing, you prepared lunch for Team Leader Chen at noon. I was wondering why you took another meal with you. You're so thoughtful."
Team Leader Chen's mouth twitched a little, but he still forced a smile, "Yes, Wanqing is thoughtful."
"Team Leader, what were you busy with at noon? Why didn't you call us to join you?"
At this time, everyone in the office realized that Team Leader Chen had worked overtime and immediately felt embarrassed.
When Lin Wanqing handed the scribbled manuscript to Team Leader Chen, the lunch bell happened to ring. Her colleagues were in a hurry to eat and left. No one knew what happened next.
Team Leader Chen could only grit his teeth and swallow it, then smiled and said, "Nothing serious, just some finishing work, not tiring at all."
"Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Chen." Lin Wanqing said softly.
Team leader Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard at all."
He just pretends to be a good person, Team Leader Chen cursed in his heart.
Lin Wanqing didn't say anything else, lowered her head and started working.
For the entire afternoon, Team Leader Chen felt his face burning. He felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat there, and he didn't even dare to look at Lin Wanqing.
As soon as she got off work, she was the first to leave the office. When she passed by Lin Wanqing's workstation, she said with a forced smile, "It's time to get off work."
Lin Wanqing nodded at her and said, "Goodbye, Team Leader Chen."
Wan Jiajia packed up her things and skipped over to Lin Wanqing. She grabbed Lin Qing's hand and kept shaking it, begging, "Please go shopping with me! Please!"
Lin Wanqing had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay."
Liu Yali, a colleague standing nearby, also packed her things. When she heard that Lin Wanqing was going shopping and would not be home for the time being, she changed her mind and went to Lin Mansion with her bag.
