I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. It turns out that in their eyes, a person like me is a target for exploitation.
"What are you thinking?" Ye Junli asked.
As I listened to Ye Junli's words, my heart suddenly cooled down after having been fed hot water by him. So there was actually a follow-up, which was why he was so patient in chatting with me and explaining the sequence of events to me.
Ye Junli looked at me with a complicated gaze before slowly saying, "Zhou Xiang, I …" But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused and didn't continue. He stood up and lightly said, "If there's anything else, I'll inform you. I won't let you get dragged into it so randomly this time."
He turned and left the room.
I looked towards the entrance and let out a cold laugh. Ye Junli, in the end, you still haven't treated me sincerely. Don't blame me for not being ruthless.
My whole body was still sore and weak, but I had already started to plan my future path, I had no other choice but to be like Wu Meng, and place my hopes on that design competition. No matter what results I achieve, I must seize this chance, and this is the only chance I have, if not, I can really be the Ye Family's chess piece forever.
I didn't know what sort of thoughts he had towards me. In short, I suddenly understood that whether it was for revenge or in the future, I couldn't rely on him to walk any further. Ye Junli had only opened a door for me.
My illness came and went quickly, and in a few days I would be able to go to work. During this period of time, I contacted Wu Meng a few times, and we communicated with each other for a bit.
By the time I got to work, it was a week later.
After arriving at the company, everyone still ignored me, only a few people looked up at me occasionally, casting disdainful looks at me.
After what happened, I am no longer the me from before. I will definitely get back all the cold eyes that they have on me one day.
"Zhou Xiang! "You're here?" Wu Meng came out from behind me and asked, "You've recovered?"
I looked back at her and nodded. "Yes, I've recovered from my illness. I'm fine."
"Seriously, why are you suddenly sick? Wasn't it all right when you left that day? " Wu Meng complained.
I didn't know how to explain it to her, and I didn't want to talk about it again. If I had a chance in the future, I would feel completely relieved about it.
"Nothing, everything is ready now. We can start preparing. There's still less than a month left, I don't know if we'll make it." "No," I said.
Wu Meng sighed: "It's alright, regardless of whether we make it in time or not, we have to try, good things happen often. We have worked hard for so long on this matter, we will definitely get a good result."
I vigorously nodded towards Wu Meng. This matter has already meant a lot to me.
When it was time to go to work, Wu Meng and I did not continue to talk about anything else.
"Zhou Xiang, why haven't you come for so many days? Do you know how much work is waiting for you? " The designer who had been trying to make things difficult for me suddenly walked in and arrogantly said to me.
I sneered in my heart as I said indifferently, "I was sick and took a few days off."
"Yo!" She shouted in a weird tone, "I didn't expect you to be so weak and have quite a few problems. To be able to get sick at such a busy time, that's truly amazing!"
I looked at her coldly. I really don't know how someone as petty as her, who couldn't tolerate others, could survive in such a mind-eating workplace?
"My apologies, my sick leave is approved by the Manager Jiang, if you think there's a problem you can go to the Manager Jiang, but if you don't even approve sick leave, I think I will directly sue the Ye's in court!" I looked at him coldly. "Of course, if you want to go to work alone and die on your desk after you get sick, I have no problem with that."
"You …" Her eyes were wide open, and her finger pointing at me was trembling slightly.
Ever since the incident, I have always been suppressed by these people. Just like Wu Meng, I always thought that the two of us had no position or talent, and that we were inferior to them. However, I don't want to continue enduring it now.
"Don't you, you, me or you. Since you like work so much, why don't you hurry up and do it? If you stick around to obstruct my work, I'll report it." I continued to look straight at her.
She pointed at my hand and shook it, as if she were very angry. Her eyes began to turn red, and then, not knowing what to say, she threw the papers she was carrying on my desk and left in a rage.
I coldly looked at her back, and then I finally understood, that it was all a mistake for me to suppress myself. With my strong personality, I had to endure it all the time in the Ye's, afraid that my identity would be seen through by others, afraid that others would know that I was a dancer. It was only now that I realized that I did not need to suppress myself at all, because no matter what I did, they would look down on me.
Looking through the window at Wu Meng's busy figure, I silently sighed in my heart. It seems that I have to teach Wu Meng all these things I have learned.
I was all alone in Print room, handling the matters that I did not manage to complete in the past few days, when I saw the commotion outside through the window. I raised my head to take a look, but I did not expect that it was actually Yan Yue. What was she doing here? If I remember correctly, the jewelry company she owned was a competitor against the jewelry chain owned by the Ye's.
