Chapter 313: Burning Ears
"Working overtime on your own initiative is one thing, while being maliciously bullied and forced to work harder is another. Hard work, tolerance, and patience are good qualities, but in the workplace, if you're bullied and keep silent, others will think you're easy to manipulate. Over time, all the hard work will inevitably fall on you. Who will you turn to for justice then?"
Liang Zhouheng's tone was not harsh, but Song Cun was too sensitive. She could hear a hint of anger in his words.
She made a pledge with Qin Hong and quietly accepted such a heavy workload. After all, it was not because she cared what others thought of her, but because she just didn't want to disappoint Liang Zhouheng.
But now she realized how stupid and cowardly she was. She was the exact opposite of what he expected her to be.
What he expected was that she would be smarter and more flexible instead of foolishly asking for trouble.
Song Cun was admitted to Beicheng University as the top student in the county. She was not really stupid, but she was not good at dealing with people. This was her biggest shortcoming. She knew this very well, but Liang Zhouheng directly exposed this point, and she naturally felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Her ears felt hot, she lowered her head and quietly avoided his sight, feeling lucky that he hadn't turned on the light.
However, Liang Zhouheng's eyes were too sharp, or perhaps he understood her too well, and her expression changes could not escape his eyes at all.
He had been impulsive and had spoken a little harshly. He actually had a lot more to say, but fearing she would burst into tears if he continued, he changed the subject. "Your position was originally reserved for someone else. Qin Hong chose her from another department. She was a fellow apprentice of hers. Your arrival completely disrupted her original plan, so the anger she's harboring is bound to spread to you."
His words caused a ten-level shock in Song Cun's heart. Only now did she fully realize where she was wrong, or rather, it was not her fault, but the human heart was too sinister.
She actually fell into Qin Hong's trap automatically. Because of her words, she was like a chicken with blood injected, and she wanted to fight for her life to see.
Song Cun suddenly felt a chill in her heart, remembering that she went to the office every day to report to Qin Hong, and Qin Hong always had a look of disdain on her face. She once thought that her work did not meet Qin Hong's standards, so she could not even get a word of affirmation.
Only now did she realize how stupid she was. If it weren't for Liang Zhouheng, when Qin Hong drove her away, she might have foolishly thought that she didn't do well enough.
Song Cun couldn't help but feel grateful to Liang Zhouheng again.
Seeing her silent face, Liang Zhouheng felt a pang of pain in his heart, and softened his tone. "Qin Hong won't be in the product planning department for much longer, so from now on, you don't have to worry about offending her. No matter who takes over her position, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of you no matter what happens."
When he said the last few words, his beautiful peach blossom eyes rarely showed any smile, and he just stared at her intently in the dim light.
Song Cun felt that all the blood in her body was heated by his last few words. She tried her best to control herself from having any wild thoughts, but her rationality was almost lost.
Her dark eyes seemed to be illuminated by his burning gaze. The two of them sat in the dim light, but it was as if they were illuminated by a spotlight. She could clearly see his face without his casual smile and the undercurrent swirling in his eyes.
Through the gaze he cast upon her face, she seemed to be able to see the nervousness, shyness and helplessness on her own face at the moment.
