Chapter 171
I shook my head and replied, “No.”
The ruthlessness in the woman’s gaze was immediately withdrawn after I answered no, so she pulled up a chair and sat in front of the office regardless.
Lin Chong stepped forward, tugged me aside and said close to my ear, “Don’t mess with that woman, it’s Manager Bai’s wife.”
I was shocked to see the woman in front of me, dressed in general, strapping a little more than the average woman, with no makeup on her face, plain face, and some waxy yellow skin, compared to Manager Bai’s gentle and elegant, it was unlike a couple.
I’m glad I’ve been a housewife for so long, but I’m still very concerned about the details of what I’m wearing, and I don’t think I’m going to be a sloppy person.
This red flag vs. colored flag thing really makes sense.
I went back to my seat and categorized the new products that were released in the new season, as well as the statistics on the needs of the customers.
The company’s CEO, Mr. Bai, said: “I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that, but I’m sure I’m going to be able to do that.
The first time I was in the office, I saw her in tears, and the second time I was in the office, I saw her in tears, and the third time I was in the office, I saw her in tears.
I’m not sure how much I’d like to see a woman as a mistress, but I already knew about Xu Qinghua’s relationship with Manager Bai before, and I also know that she doesn’t really love him at all, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone to any sorority.
Xu Qinghua looked at me wretchedly, covered her face and ran out, I followed her.
She ran up to the rooftop and sat alone on the edge of the rooftop crying, I slowly walked over to her and sat next to her.
I didn’t say a word, I wouldn’t comfort her, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to think of jumping off, but I underestimated the thickness of Xu Qinghua’s cheek, she looked at me after wiping away her tears and said, “Old Bai and I are just a kind of mutual use.”
“The whole office knows.” I said faintly.
“It must have been that Lin Chong who told you.” Xu Qinghua wasn’t stupid, “I don’t love Old Bai, the reason I’m his woman is because I want to move up the ladder.”
“People say that the workplace is like a palace drama, I haven’t experienced that kind of cruelty yet.” I said calmly, looking sideways at Xu Qinghua, “Even if you don’t climb into Manager Bai’s b3d, I’m sure that with your ability, you’ll be able to put together a career of your own.”
“A career?” Xu Qinghua laughed mockingly, “Do you know, in Weiss, every year, there is an assessment on performance, the salary of those who have passed the assessment is increased by 30%, and the year-end bonus is doubled, those who fail the assessment, lightly, no salary increase, heavy may have to leave the company. When I entered Weiss in my first year, I failed the test, and it was Old White who helped me.”
“So you gave your word in return?” I was puzzled.
“Cynthia Mo, I don’t know how you got into the Weiss Group, but you don’t know how hard it was for a rural girl to get into the Weiss Group, how she went from being bullied to still having a little bit to say, I’ve come up step by step, every step I’ve tried my best to hold on with my teeth, do you think I’m willing to be Old White’s lover?” After Xu Qinghua finished speaking, tears fell down. She smiled bitterly and pursed her lips.
I don’t say anything, everyone’s life is forced by fate, who wants to walk in a straight line, who wants to walk crookedly.
“Do you believe that? I’ve never forced Old Bai to divorce.” Xu Qinghua looked at the azure sky in front of her and smiled faintly, “When will I be able to make my family’s life more comfortable, when will I be able to spend money without having to think about affordability, when will I be able to find a man who will wrap me in food and clothing for the rest of my life?”
For life?
Being kept like a canary? I thought back to the old days, well fed and clothed, but like a walking corpse every day, only to find that this life was nothing more than sugarcoating after the last man betrayed me and all the truth was bloody ripped away.
“Xiao Xu, don’t hang your future on a man’s pocket, that’s more dangerous. We can spend more if we make more money, and we can spend less if we make less. Life can go on, so don’t put your hopes in others. Spending your own is always the most reliable.” I whispered softly, it’s been my experience.
“I just want to find a handsome man to raise now, that Yinhao is good, introduce me to him.” Xu Qinghua was not shy, she was just crying, now she wanted me to introduce Yinhao.
“Yin Hao is rich and educated, he enjoys freedom, I can’t introduce you to him directly, once it’s deliberate, he will reject it, everything should go with the flow.” I replied.
Yin Hao is an easy-going person, this kind of good man, how could I introduce Xu Qinghua to him, he should have a good woman by his side to love him and guard him.
Xu Qinghua is not a bad person, but after all, she is Manager Bai’s mistress, and she is simply on a different level from Yinhao. Seeing Xu Qinghua’s mood ease up quite a bit, I said, “I’m going downstairs to see if Manager Bai’s wife has left, and if she has, you can go down to work.”
Xu Qinghua nodded, “Okay, Cynthia Mo, thank you.”
“No need.” Me.
Chapter 172
Xu Qinghua’s slightly raised mouth suddenly stiffened as she heard my words.
“Impossible, who has the qualifications to fire Old Bai?” Xu Qinghua looked at me in disbelief, “Old Bai did his best for the Weiss Group, how could he be…”
“Yi just came down here himself,” I said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghua completely died, collapsed and pursed her lips, and returned to her position, where she had been sitting motionless all afternoon, her computer screen kept going black.
At the end of the shift, a few female colleagues who are usually very close to her went straight away, without even calling out to her.
I went forward and gently pushed her shoulder, only to be startled, slightly raised her head, looked at me and said: “Cynthia Mo, you go first.”
“I’ll give you a ride.” I said with mixed feelings.
“No, I want to sit down again.” Xu Qinghua refused my kind offer, and I knew that she had been sitting all afternoon and still didn’t dare to present her letter to Manager Xu.
I pulled her up hard and said, “I said I’ll send you off, so you have to come with me.”
I’m not sure why I pulled her out of the car, but I’m not sure if she’s a good driver, so I’m not sure if she’s a good driver.
I really don’t know why I pulled her out, maybe once Manager White is gone, she won’t have to be that man’s mistress anymore and should be able to live with a little more dignity.
I walked her to the Left Bank Coffee, parked the car and I invited her to have a cup of coffee.
She looked around the surroundings and said, “I’ve never had coffee here before, it should be expensive, right?”
The usually arrogant looking Xu Qinghua actually asked me about the price of coffee, I heard her say this is a bit sad, shallow smile and said: “My treat.”
“Of course you’re buying, you dragged me here, it’s not you that’s buying, am I buying?” I’ve been staring at her eyes as if nothing had happened, and I really want to read this complicated looking woman.
I guess I was staring so hard that I couldn’t hide it, Xu Qinghua shrugged her shoulders weakly, sighed, and said, “How miserable I am mixed up, I have to send home a lot of money every month, you know, I have a son, autistic, I put him at my mother’s place, and it costs a lot of money every month.”
“The father of the child is…”
“It’s not Old Bai’s.” Xu Qinghua’s eyes glistened with tears, the helplessness and hardship of life reflected on her face, “I don’t know why I’m telling you this, I’m not trying to arouse your sympathy. As you can see, when there was Old Bai, those female colleagues in the company, every day, they affectionately asked me to leave work together, and look at today…”
Xu Qinghua clenched her teeth, the corners of her mouth hardened with a smile, “This is how a good man is bullied and a good horse is ridden.”
I was silent, hearing these words, I had mixed emotions in my heart, perhaps behind every evil person, there is a side of misery that is not known to anyone.
I’ve always felt that I have a bad fate, but I didn’t expect that there are plenty of people in this world who have a worse fate than me.
“Xiao Xu, if you want those colleagues to look up to you and fight for Old Bai’s position, you’ll climb up there and others will naturally look up to you.” I encouraged Xu Qinghua, although I hadn’t spent much time with her, her business and professional abilities were indeed as good as anyone else’s.
She had been hiding under Manager Bai’s wings because she was comfortable and content, so she didn’t want to fight for it anymore.
She scoffed at herself and looked at me, “Do you think I’m good? The whole office is watching as soon as Old White leaves, and even if I try my best, it may not be mine.”
“How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try your best?” I continued to persuade, as for Zain’s selfishness, I don’t want to care anymore, I just want to be willing to be ordinary, I don’t want to climb so high and be so tired.
“Thank you, Cynthia Mo, I treated you so well when you first joined the company, but I didn’t expect…now the only one who treats me best is you.” Xu Qinghua sips her coffee with emotion.
The topic between Xu Qinghua and I was heavy, and after talking about it to this point, I fell into a damn silence.
Through the glass, I looked sideways at the warm street lights that were already on outside, and the cars on the road were coming and going. Just as I was getting a little irritated, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
“Cynthia Mo…”
I looked for my voice and saw a tall man wearing sunglasses standing next to me, I recognized him immediately, it was Lin Hai, and I was shocked.
Why was he here?
“Lin Hai, why are you here?” I looked at him in shock, and when he took off his sunglasses, Xu Qing Hua on the other side was so dumbfounded that she immediately forgot her sadness and her lips trembled with excitement.
“Ocean, you’re Ocean, right?” Xu Qinghua looked at Lin Hai in disbelief.
“Can you make room for me?” Lin Hai raised that standard smile and smiled politely, “I have something to say to Cynthia Mo, so it’s not very convenient for you to be here.”
“Oh, I understand.” Xu Qinghua replied in a daze, suddenly, she suddenly took off her jacket, inside her jacket was a white shirt, she turned her back to Lin Hai, her waist slightly bent.
