After the social gathering, rumors will spread about what happened at the gathering, who got together, etc.
People who are in a relationship will inevitably attract attention. It doesn't take much effort to find out which unit their partner works for, what level he or she is, how much he or she earns, his or her family situation, etc.
And because many people were also in relationships during the same period, this provided a control group. Whose partner was higher-ranking? Whose partner had a higher salary? Whose partner was more attractive?
Those who have nothing to do will go and make all kinds of comments about it. Some of them will even go to the person involved and complain about it. Some people have even broken up because of this before.
Those who are mean-spirited just say whatever they want without even considering whether what they say is true or what the consequences will be. It doesn't concern them anyway, so they don't care.
As for those who don’t have a partner, it goes without saying that they won’t have a single good word to say.
You all attend social gatherings, but others have found partners, but you don't. Is there something wrong with you?
If someone has an ordinary face, they will say that the other person is ugly and no one wants them; if someone has a good look, they will say that the other person has a bad temper and no one wants them either; if someone is beautiful and has a good temper, they will say that the other person has a bad family background; even if someone is good in every aspect, they will still have something to say, saying that their eyes are too high and they look down on everyone.
There is nothing they can't find fault with.
So Liu Li made two plans before letting Jianshu attend the social gathering.
If Jianshu finds someone he likes, everyone will be happy and there is nothing much to say.
If she didn't find it, it means that she forced Jianshu to attend the social gathering. The girl is young and hasn't figured it out yet.
In this way, even if others knew that she had rejected many people, they would not say that she was too picky and looked down on the comrades who participated in the social gathering. They would only think that she was a little childish and didn't understand anything at all.
In this way, the problem lies with her, and Jianshu will not be easily criticized.
The other people in the office were not stupid. They had experienced so many social gatherings and remembered what happened after each social gathering. They immediately understood the meaning of Sister Liu's words.
"Hey, it was all us, why did we have to let Shushu go?"
"Alas, Xiao Jian said she didn't want to go at the time, but we forced her to go. What's the point?"
"Yeah, Xiao Jian hasn't figured it out yet. If she goes, she won't understand anything. It would be a wasted trip."
"Don't be so reckless next time. You should wait until Xiao Jian understands and is willing to go."
A group of people talked at once and tried to distance Jianshu from this matter.
Jianshu didn't understand what Sister Liu meant at first, but only understood after everyone else spoke.
Suddenly a warm feeling surged into my heart.
"Thank you everyone." Jian Shu said in a low voice, afraid that if she spoke louder she would burst into tears.
It is her blessing to meet such a group of colleagues.
"I'm glad you don't blame us. I wouldn't have forced you to attend the social gathering."
They said they would speak with one voice and started acting in the office.
Jianshu couldn't help but laugh, but his eyes were a little red.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's okay as long as everyone understands it. Stop arguing and get to work." Sister Liu said.
Jian Shu glanced at her helplessly. "Now you know to go to work?" Who was the loudest and talked the most just now?
But looking at Section Chief Li not far away, he was still looking at the newspaper in his hand, as if he was unaware of what was happening here and heard nothing.
The office gradually quieted down, and Jianshu was no longer as nervous as before.
When it was time to get off work at noon, Jianshu put down the newspaper in his hand, took out the lunch box from the drawer, said goodbye to his colleagues and walked to the first floor.
Li Li didn't go home for dinner today, waiting to be interrogated about her and Pan Ning.
At the end of the working day, the employees of the department store all rushed out and headed towards the cafeteria.
Jian Shu and the other two were walking on the road, and there were many people walking around them.
As a big news recently, the social gathering has been the focus of everyone's attention recently.
Along the way, all Jianshu heard were topics related to the social gathering.
One person talks about who is dating whom with a gossipy look on his face; another person talks about someone finding a partner who is a company commander with an envious look on his face; and there are also people who say with a sarcastic look on their face that whoever hasn't found a partner must be disliked by others and it's shameful.
Jianshu didn't know where they heard these inside information when the social gathering just ended last night, only half a day had passed.
After hearing what these people said, Jianshu finally understood the intention of what Sister Liu said in the office.
This social gathering was screened, so it was inevitable that some people were not able to attend. But everyone knew that the participants were all very outstanding, and there were also many officers from the military. Who wouldn't want to find a good partner?
People who had good opportunities but missed out on them will inevitably feel aggrieved, especially when they hear that someone has found a good partner, they will become even more envious.
When they are emotional, they can't say anything nice. They have to belittle the participants to make them happy.
Those who have found a partner will find fault with their partner by saying that they are ugly or short. If there is really no big problem, they will say that it was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse and that others were blind.
As for those who haven't found a partner, they are belittled to the extreme by them, as if they can only feel good by stepping on others.
For such people, Jianshu didn't even give them a glance.
When there is a problem, instead of reflecting on oneself, one targets others. This shows the character of this person.
And from their remarks, you can tell what kind of person they are. It's normal for them to be eliminated.
