Chapter 162 Article Was Rejected

Melinda only remembered that later she couldn't stand the spicy food, and she was excited to tell her companions that she liked the same taste with Jonas.

How silly she was.

"What would you like to eat? I'll look for it nearby." Jonas knew the hidden meaning of this sentence, but he deliberately ignored it.

"No need. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"Melinda, can't you have a talk with me calmly? Please give me a chance. I want to start over." Melinda's direct refusal was a little disappointing, but Jonas only felt that he should suffer these.

"We won't start over, and we will never be together again," Melinda said as she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, a little ferocious on her face. Who could be as calm as water when talking about the past?

Melinda hung up the phone. In order to get quietness, Melinda had muted the phone. After such a long time, she knew clearly that blacklisting didn't work.

Melinda was preoccupied and did not notice the change of attitude of many colleagues.

It was not until three days later that Melinda gradually realized that all the people around her were making various excuses to isolate her.

"Mark, do you have any good literature recommendation of this issue?" Melinda turned to ask her colleague. This was the topic they would talk about after each requirement was designated.

Melinda's reserve of knowledge and unique insights were great. Colleagues were fond of discussing with her, but Mark seemed to have heard nothing about what she said this time, and he stood up and walked to the opposite side.

His keeping a distance from Melinda made Melinda embarrassed. Her colleague on the other side stood up from her seat quickly and went straight to the conference table to join in the fun.

There were four or five people around the conference table. They seemed to be discussing, but their eyes would occasionally float to Melinda.

"Elsa, why are you here?"

Elsa was the colleague on the right side of Melinda. As soon as she came, someone greeted her. With a cup in her hand, Elsa took a seat at the conference table.

"Who wants to discuss with that person? Isn't the topic this time about how to survive in high-speed cities? Maybe someone will talk about how to get in superiors' bed in the end." Elsa had been jealous of Melinda all the time. This time, she found the opportunity to mock her, showing no mercy.

The people around her burst into laughter.

"You really don't know how to get into superiors' bed. Many people say that there is such a lady's design center, but in fact, they teach people to do those disgusting things. Why don't you ask her to bring you into contact with that if you are in a favorable position?"

a colleague ridiculed. Most of the people who had spoken at this time were envious of Melinda at the usual time. The neutral ones were only alienated because they were worried that if they stood on the side of Melinda, they would also become the focus of the crowd.

"I'm begging you. Stop disgusting me here," Elsa said as she folded her hands. Th

his one sentence?"

Some people pretended to be kind, but actually they were mocking Melinda. The others also made a gab at her, but none of them stood on the side of Melinda.

Looking at the colleagues who got along with her day and night, Melinda had a mixed feeling. Human heart was indeed the most unpredictable.

She sat calmly in her office and ignored the mocking words. Standing not far away, Elsa was more jealous.

She was not only jealous of Melinda's talent, but also her temperament.

But she didn't know that Melinda had to live a horrible life for five years. Their irony was not enough at all.

On the contrary, Elsa was a person with a good sense of propriety. She would take advantage of her colleague's help to get rid of Melinda.

If an excellent person couldn't join the group, he or she would be abandoned in the end.

Elsa was a well aware of this point.

After Victor went back to his office, he read Melinda's manuscript many times and felt that there was no problem, but he also found that the quality fell a lot this time.

So he understood it as that colleagues tended to have higher requirements for capable people.

"Melinda, Mr. Cheng is looking for you." This message-passing man said that in an intimate tone, drawing a lot of attention from the colleagues around.

"Okay," Melinda answered. She then locked the screen. Never relaxed vigilance against others. These people attacked her right in front of her, and if they did something to her in secret, it would be really difficult to prevent them from happening.

Sitting on the sofa and sipping the tea cup, Victor was relieving his boredom. Seeing Melinda come in, he pointed at the seat beside him as he said, "Take a seat."

Victor sat on the middle part of the sofa, Melinda went to the right, sat down, and ignored his greeting.

"Mr. Cheng, what can I do for you?" Victor was puzzled by her attitude.

"The person who denied your manuscript is not me. Don't give all your anger to me." Victor couldn't help displaying an aggrieved expression.
