Chapter 20: Follow you?
Friday.
At about 10 am, Guo Shunjie returned to his desk afterreceiving a task from Chief Zhou in his office. He looked at the thick stack of documents and frowned. He thenstood up and walked towards Dong Xuebing, who was doing some data entries. Hesmiled and place the stack of papers onthe desk: "Xiao Dong, are you busy? Go through these documents. Chief Zhou saidthat there were too many spelling mistakes. You need to amend it. He needs itby noon."
Should this be your job?
But Dong Xuebing wanted to maintain a good relationship withhis colleagues. "Ok. I will do it now."
Guo Shunjie nodded and returned to his desk. He crossed hislegs and sat there drinking his tea.
11.30 am. Dong Xuebing and Tan Limei went upstairs todeliver a document.
On the way, Tan Limei asked softly: "Guo Shunjie asked youto do his task for him again?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "We are colleagues, and we should help each other."
"Hmph! What help each other? Guo Shunjie likes to order thenewcomers around because he knows the District Political Commissar. He acts asif he is the leader in the office. When I just arrived here, he had also askedme for lots of things. It's sosickening." Tan Limei grumbled. "Oh, before you and Sun Zhuang came, there wasa hardworking young man. But he left because of Guo Shunjie. Who can toleratebeing ordered around by him?"
Dong Xuebing was surprised. "Really?"
"Why should I lie to you?" Tan Limei did not say any more. "Just be careful."
"I will. Thanks for telling me." Dong Xuebing was thinking.Being in an organization was so much different than in school.
2 pm.
Guo Shunjie walked out of Chief Zhou's room and walkedstraight to Dong Xuebing's desk. He threw a stack of documents on the desk: "Copy 5 sets. Don't mess up the pages. Iwant it before 4 pm." Guo Shunjie's tone was like a superior giving order to asubordinate.
Everyone in the office looked over. All of them wondered howdid Dong Xuebing offend Guo Shunjie.
Dong Xuebing was furious. Thiswas Guo Shunjie's true colors. He really wanted to give him a kick inhis face.
If I follow you, I will be your underlings. If I don't follow you, I still have to do your work. Whatother choices do I have? Damn. I had never seen anyone so unreasonable.
What a bitch.
After a while, Guo Shunjie went to the restroom for a smoke.Tan Limei and Zhuang Zhi asked: "Xuebing, what happened?"
Dong Xuebing replied with a forced smile: "Nothing."
Both saw that Dong Xuebing was not willing to say and theydid not press on further. They returned back to their tasks.
Guo Panwei who was sitting nearby, looked at Dong Xuebing:"Xiao Dong, are you busy?" He pointed to a box beside him. "I am busy now. Helpme bring these to the Finance Department later." Guo Panwei saw Dong Xuebing couldbe bullied and he also passed him his tasks. After that, he entered ChiefZhou's office to brew tea for him.
Damn it!
When will this ever stop?
Dong Xuebing almost cursed out loud. Both Guo Shunjie andGuo Panwei were assholes.
Dong Xuebing finally understood "Being nice will be bullied." He clenched his fist tightly. He knew thathe must do something to get out of this. If not, he will have to remain as a lowly staff member forever.This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
