I timidly walked into Sister Li's office. There were only two people inside, but the temperature in the room seemed to be extremely low.
"Shui Er, what's wrong with you? I told you to clean up the office. Sister Li immediately scolded her. I didn't know what was going on. What? I threw the file away? The papers I picked up were all waste paper! Because I was afraid that I would accidentally throw away any useful information, I opened and verified the papers one by one when I picked them up. There clearly weren't any documents.
"It's not like that, Sister Li, you know, I just …"
I finally understand what's going on now. Seeing Sister Li like this, she seemed to have something that she didn't do, and purposely plotted against me in order for me to take the blame for her.
I finally understood why everyone looked at me with sympathy, and I believed that many of them knew what had happened. Furthermore, there should be many people who had plotted this woman's poison in the Sister Li before.
I was very hesitant now, because I just picked up the paper and put it in the basket, did not take it out to pour. I think, the Sister Li probably didn't notice this detail, right? Otherwise, why would she use such a trick that was full of holes? So, should I expose Sister Li? If I were to expose her, then there's no need to say anymore. If I were to continue to stay in this department, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but if I do not do so, I do not know the consequences, but it will definitely not end with the scolding that Sister Li had mentioned. The worst that could happen was for her to be expelled. No, this is the first time I've ever gotten a proper job like this, and I don't want to give it up so quickly.
"Shui Er, oh Shui Er, what do you want me to say? You pour some tea every day at the teahouse and photocopy some documents. How can you not do such a small thing well? How are you going to complete such a big mission in the future?" Sister Li sighed at last. If it wasn't for me, I probably would have been moved by her words. Unfortunately, that's impossible.
I was just about to tell the truth and expose the evil deeds of Sister Li, but Sister Li immediately said, "However, I have been observing and paying attention to you this whole time. I see that you are very responsible for your work, I originally wanted to arrange a project for you, but who would have thought that you would make such a low level mistake. However, as long as you can humbly correct it, I believe that Executive Assistant will not blame you. " Sister Li looked at me with encouragement.
I know the meaning behind her words. If I were to tell her the truth, then even if I can still stay in the company, Sister Li will definitely not let me off scot-free. In the end, I didn't say anything. I feel that I will become the scapegoat for Sister Li first! Furthermore, from the meaning behind Sister Li's words, she seems to be helping me. Since that's the case, I shouldn't worry about her for now.
I'm sorry, Sister Li. Maybe I accidentally lost it when I was tidying up just now. Even though I was extremely unhappy, I still said it out loud. I had always hated people who were tactful, but now I realized that they too had their own reasons. And now, because of such a compelling reason, I have become a man I once hated.
"Can a single apology solve the problem?" Executive Assistant, who was sitting opposite to me on the sofa, started to speak. I could hear the anger in his voice.
That document must be very important, that's for sure. I believe that I am not a timid person, but the anger that this Executive Assistant has shown is truly great, I simply do not know how to answer him.
I quietly lowered my head, like a child who had committed a crime and was waiting for others to criticize him, but in my heart, I was thinking, Sister Li, say something! You're actually begging for mercy for me!
I lowered my head, and from the corner of my eyes, I could see that Sister Li seemed to be biting her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Well, I didn't think she was such an ungrateful person. I knew that Sister Li wasn't someone who was easy to deal with, but I didn't expect her to be so careless.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second, I resigned myself to my fate and waited for Executive Assistant's judgement. I have already helped Sister Li take responsibility of this matter, it is obviously too late to go back on my word now. Therefore, I could only place my hopes on the Executive Assistant, hoping that he would be magnanimous and can forgive me this time.
"Sigh!" How about this! I have another piece of information here. You have to give me a document design that will satisfy me by Wednesday, or you can leave. Our company doesn't need people who only know how to cause trouble. " The Executive Assistant said coldly.
"Alright, Wednesday is Wednesday." I answered with a frown.
As soon as I said this, I realized that it was already Monday, and that I had a day left before Wednesday. Moreover, I don't know what kind of documents I need to do at all. It's just that I was deceived by the Sister Li and had some grievances in my heart, so I couldn't help but say something along those lines. It really wasn't easy for me to make such a document, and I looked at my own size.
"Alright, let's talk about it the day after tomorrow then." After Executive Assistant said this, he angrily left the company. It seemed to me that he had deliberately emphasized the word "day after tomorrow."
The moment the assistant left, Sister Li could no longer maintain her calm and directly sat on her office chair. Her face was pale like never before. I really wonder how Sister Li, who is in this state, managed to climb up to this position step by step.
