"..."
Yu Jiaojiao was speechless.
This was the first time she had ever met someone as eloquent as He Jing, who managed to completely shut her down from every angle.
He Jing pressed her advantage, asking, "Did President Jiao's last mistake really just happen by accident?"
Yu Jiaojiao was completely speechless. She turned to look at Xiao Wang and the other two colleagues who hadn't left, hoping they could speak up for her.
Xiao Wang avoided her gaze and said, "It must have been a slip of the hand."
The words were still spoken in her defense, but not sincerely.
He Jing stopped there and didn't pursue the matter further.
She waved to Xiao Wang, Qi E, and the others, and said, "Thank you for treating us today, Ms. Jiao. See you tomorrow, my two senior brothers."
Xiao Wang nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
Qi E glanced at Yu Jiaojiao and followed closely behind He Jing.
Yu Jiaojiao grabbed Xiao Wang and said stiffly, "I really didn't mean to."
Xiao Wang patted her hand: "I believe you."
Yu Jiaojiao was still worried and said, "Then let's go out drinking again tomorrow."
Xiao Wang replied, "Okay."
Actually, what he was thinking was that the ghost would come out and drink with her, and he wanted to play games with He Jing!
The next day, because of the gaming incident, everyone's opinion of Yu Jiaojiao changed, and the atmosphere in the energy group was quite subtle early in the morning.
He Jing had just arrived at her post when Qi E said, "Just now, A Diao from our energy group went to the tea room to get water and overheard someone from the chemical engineering group saying bad things about you."
He Jing: "Oh?"
"I suspect someone is exaggerating." He didn't say who it was, but there were also members of the Huajun Group at Xianyun Yehe yesterday, so it might not have been Yu Jiaojiao herself. Qi E didn't dare to make a conclusion, but only reminded He Jing, "Beware of people from the Huajun Group. We won't go to dinners that Yu Jiaojiao invites us to in the future."
He Jing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's my treat."
The Institute of Chemistry isn't just home to Yu Jiaojiao, the only rich second-generation. There's another hidden rich woman standing here too.
Apparently, after hearing He Jing's bold statement, the energy team members gathered around.
Of course, no one took this as He Jing's true feelings.
Xiao Wang chuckled and joked, "Oh my, where is Xiao Jing treating us to eat, drink, and have fun? Let me make it clear, we won't go for anything less than five yuan. It has to be at least a bowl of vegetarian noodles with an egg."
He Jing blinked: "Where do you senior brothers want to go? Anywhere is fine."
"Wow! How awesome!" Everyone got excited when they heard there was something to gain. One colleague, who did odd jobs and was usually not very noticeable, said, "I want to go to Xiangyun Water Pavilion!"
Xiangyun Water Pavilion and Xianyun Wild Crane Pavilion are on the same level, except one is for drinking tea and the other is for drinking alcohol.
Qi E smacked him with a hammer: "Are you trying to take a piece of Xiao Jing's flesh? Her monthly salary is only so little."
Others disagreed, only mentioning cheap and inexpensive shop names, and even roadside stalls.
He Jing said, "How about I treat everyone to barbecue at Chang'an after get off work today?"
Chang'an is a well-known barbecue restaurant, with an average price of around 400 yuan per person, which is neither cheap nor expensive.
Xiao Wang's eyes lit up: "Really? But there are nine of us here. Lao Ji, Lao Ji, are you going?"
From afar, Lao Ji, who was doing something, looked up and replied, "Go."
Qi E said, "Let's find another place to eat."
How much would it cost to eat your fill just by eating skewers?
He didn't want to drain He Jing dry.
He Jing smiled gently: "No need, Chang'an is my friend's shop, they're having a promotion today, so there's a discount."
Xiao Wang asked, "Boyfriend?"
“No,” He Jing explained, “It’s my brother’s shop.”
P.S.: Don't ask me why the female supporting characters are all abnormal. Have you all forgotten what's normal? Miss Meng Yao and Miss Wang Dong are both positive female supporting characters. Sister Jing has been around for a long time and will always encounter one or two oddballs. As for why the "gender equality" theme was incorporated, it's because art imitates life.
