He Jing and Lao Ji get along very well. Lao Ji is too old to drink too much, so he only had a sip or two yesterday.
He Jing asked, "Won't anyone make you a hangover soup when we get back?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately grimaced, as if a sore spot had been touched: "I'm still a single aristocrat. I moved out and lived alone ages ago. Who can make me a hangover soup?"
He Jing remembered that there was a tea room in this building. She thought for a moment and said, "I'll cook something for you."
There's no single way to make hangover soup. The tea room has milk, honey, red dates, longan, dried lemon slices, etc., which she can use to make a few simple hangover soups.
Xiao Wang exclaimed "Oh!" flattered, "You can do it?"
"Okay, wait a minute."
He Jing turned around and went into the tea room, where she prepared several cups of milk hangover soup.
Xiao Wang invited everyone to drink, and each person got a cup. After drinking it, they felt much better.
Then, Xiao Wang, his spirits high and his eyes shining, said, "He Jing, could you make a few more drinks? I'll send some to the chemical engineering team too, so they don't lack the energy to work."
He Jing had no objection, and poured a few more drinks for him. Soon Xiao Wang went to the chemical engineering group. When he came back, he was all smiles and said, "Xiao Jing, you are so thoughtful."
This is the first time they've received such treatment after working at the Institute of Evolution for so long.
He Jing asked, "Brother Wang, can I ask you something? How many girls are there in the office?"
Xiao Wang readily replied, "More than eighty, I guess. There were more than a hundred before, but more than twenty left."
"Is it the Chemical Engineering Group?"
"Why do you ask that?" Xiao Wang said, "Every department has them, but the chemical engineering team lost two."
He Jing: "Oh—"
It seems things aren't as bad as she thought; Yu Jiaojiao probably just doesn't like her.
Xiao Wang defended Yu Jiaojiao: "Don't let Yu Jiaojiao's bad temper fool you, she's just honest, straightforward, and has a sharp tongue, but she's actually a good person. She's usually very sincere, dares to stand up for others, and is generous. If she weren't so tough, she would definitely have a lot of suitors in the office."
He Jing nodded and smiled, "If Brother Wang says so, then I'm relieved."
Since they just don't like each other, if she can't afford to offend her, she can simply avoid her. She and Yu Jiaojiao are in different groups, so they should just stay away from each other.
However, before the two could finish speaking, the Huajun Group came up to them. The man said, "Xiao Wang, don't send anything to the Huajun Group anymore. Boss Jiao is very unhappy that we drank that so-and-so's hangover soup. She said we're siding with outsiders. She knows we don't get along with that so-and-so, but we still shamelessly drink their soup."
Xiao Wang hadn't expected Yu Jiaojiao to dislike He Jing to this extent. He'd never seen her target anyone so fiercely before. He quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, I won't see you off anymore."
He Jing stepped forward and said, "Sending soup was just a kind gesture from Brother Wang. He wanted to thank Sister Jiaojiao for treating my energy team to dinner yesterday. There was no other meaning behind it. Is that not allowed?"
The colleague from the chemical engineering team who came looked troubled and said, "We understand, but if President Jiao is unhappy, there's nothing we can do."
Firstly, Yu Jiaojiao got along well with them, and they were all willing to do as Yu Jiaojiao pleased.
Secondly, they didn't want to offend their colleagues in the same group, since they would see each other all the time.
Also, Yu Jiaojiao has treated them to meals so many times, and they should remember that.
PS: Why are people still asking about six updates? I've already finished six updates in three days. I didn't have any inspiration yesterday and wanted to ask for a day off, but I managed to squeeze it out. I've settled my accounts. The update is late because I'm working irregular hours on weekends for review.
