Chapter 344: I Donât Want to Wear a Scarf to Work Every Day
âForget it. Iâve already got someone, and Brother Wangâs âeconomy modelâ is more my style. Your luxury sports car version should just enjoy yourself. I certainly donât want to go to work wearing a scarf every day.â The last sentence was definitely meant as revenge.
Chi Enenâs face turned red from being teased and she found herself at a loss for words. All she could do was silently curse Li Beijue in her heart and resolve that tonight she would definitely not let him continue!
âEnen.â
While they were chatting, a sycophantic voice cut in. Qin Nan looked up at the source of the voice and gave Chi Enen a âyouâre on your ownâ look before taking her mug and slipping off to the pantries to get water.
Fatty Fish was quite pleased with Qin Nanâs tact, his long face breaking into a smile as he approached Chi Enen, exuding a spring-like warmth, âEnen, why are you at work so early today?â
Chi Enen stood up from where Qin Nan had been sitting and, holding her bag, calmly replied, âI usually come in at this time.â
ââ¦â
Normally, she was just a small employee; it wasnât his place to question when she came in. But things were different now, Chi Enen was the new girlfriend of the CEO. After being snubbed by her, Fatty Fishâs expression turned awkward, yet he still followed behind her, fawningly saying, âEnen, Iâve been pretty good to you this past year, havenât I?â
âNot bad,â Chi Enen replied as she placed her things at her desk, waiting for him to continue.
Fatty Fish flashed a sycophantic smile, said awkwardly, âAbout last time, donât hold it against me. I had no choice, you understand. In my position, I have to do things that go against my conscience. I wanted to side with you, but you know, with superiors above and family to care for below, I couldnât afford to lose my job. So thatâs why Iâ¦â
âLast time? Which âlast timeâ are you talking about?â
Fatty Fish was anxious but couldnât outright say it, so he had to hint at it subtly, âThe incident with the photo. I was powerless then. Miss Xie came raging into my office, insisting on replacing you. I explained to her time and again, I said I absolutely donât believe youâre that kind of person, that the photo must have been doctored. But Miss Xie wouldnât listen and went to confront you. I couldnât stop her, Iâm sorry, Enen.â
Chi Enen wasnât new to the workplace; she could still discern truth from lies.
She absolutely didnât believe Fatty Fish defended her vehemently in front of Xie Tingting when the photo incident blew up.
However, him saying he had elders to take care of and children to raise, not wanting to lose his job, was true.
She was aware of how cruel the workplace could be. Although Fatty Fish was annoying, he hadnât really done anything to hurt her substantially. His choice to side with the rumored âCEOâs girlfriendâ at the time was logical. Any smart person, when faced with choosing between the âCEOâs girlfriendâ and a common employee, would pick the former over the latter. She wasnât petty; just because she had risen up didnât mean she needed to step on everyone who wasnât particularly nice to her in the past.
âAh, that incident. You wouldnât have mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it.â Chi Enen feigned sudden realization, then turned to the uneasy Fatty Fish with a smile and said, âItâs no big deal, really. I never wanted to do the exclusive interview anyway, so itâs actually better this way. Donât worry, all is well.â
Fatty Fish breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to chat with her some more and get closer. But Chi Enenâs mobile phone had already started to buzz with insistent authorityâ
