Chapter 387: Would I Not Know My Own Person? (7)
If no one she cares about is in the office, it wouldn’t matter, but...
Yu Shasha glanced in the direction of Guo Jingtian, her face grew even colder.
Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing arrived at the Chinese restaurant across the street, made their orders, and sat on the bench outside, waiting.
"Bingbing, why do I feel like Yu is targeting you? Did you upset her?"
"First, let me correct you, when someone targets another person, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re upset. It could just be menopause. Secondly, she’s not targeting just me, it’s both of us."
Tang Yanqi frowned, "Why?"
"Didn’t you go out for lunch today? I heard people chatting when I was in the bathroom. She seems to like Brother Guo, but Brother Guo doesn’t seem to reciprocate. Also, Yu Shasha used to be known as the flower of the finance department, and then we arrived, you know."
Tang Yanqi looked suddenly enlightened, "No wonder... People say the company’s bathroom is always the gossip hotspot."
"Hey, Tangtang, you’re focusing on the wrong point."
Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing carried a stack of lunch boxes back, the plastic bags digging painfully into their hands, and they stopped several times along the way.
Just as they reached the finance department, they saw Qiao Zi standing there, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Qiao Zi turned and saw Tang Yanqi, then noticed the items she was carrying, and felt a chill inside. If that person from the top floor saw this scene, given his already more irritable mood today, Shengshi Group might face a harsh winter.
"What? Did you already order food?"
Everyone in the office exchanged glances, especially Li Ke, who had been in his own office and had no idea what was happening outside. Looking at the lunch boxes Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing were holding, his first reaction was that the newcomers were trying to please the old employees by ordering food.
This normally wouldn’t be a problem, but if the higher-ups saw two interns carrying so many lunch boxes, they might misunderstand that their department was bullying newcomers. And being personally noticed by Qiao Zi was not a good thing.
"Little Tang, Little Bai, what’s going on with you two? Who told you to order food?"
After all, Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing were new and hadn’t figured out the nuances yet when Yu Shasha spoke up: "Didn’t you say you were going to the bathroom? Why did you come back with so much stuff? There’s so much work to do, and you find time to buy dinner internationally?"
Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing were even more puzzled, what was going wrong?
Bai Bing, naturally strong-willed, could endure much, but she couldn’t take the blame for others without reason, let alone be falsely accused.
Just as she was about to say something, Tang Yanqi quickly pulled her back: "We thought everyone was working hard on overtime, so we took the initiative, we’re very sorry."
Yu Shasha was clearly trying to play innocent, but as someone with years of experience navigating the workplace, Qiao Zi could see the game behind it.
They were worried about her misunderstanding them bullying the newcomers, so they directly let the newcomers take the blame. Qiao Zi secretly sighed; it’s fortunate that person from the top floor didn’t hear, otherwise... Asking the president’s wife to run errands, especially the wife that our company president treasures, just thinking about it makes one shiver with fright.
Feeling the sigh within, Qiao Zi coldly laughed on the surface, assuming the demeanor of the president’s special assistant: "Since you’ve already ordered food, then the president’s goodwill is unnecessary. Both of you put the items down and follow me."
After speaking, Qiao Zi turned and left, exuding an imposing presence. Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing promptly put the items down and followed him.
