Chapter 5 Meeting in a narrow road

Ye Yinfeng didn't sleep well all night, and went to the company early the next day.

Xia Xia's seat was vacant. He put her canvas bag in the chair and left her a note: "Please come and find me when you arrive."

After walking a few steps towards the office, he turned back, picked up the note, glanced at it, and rolled it into a ball in his palm.

As soon as you enter the corporate environment, various familiar rules stand out from the chaos, giving you confidence.He felt that there was no need for him to be so humble to an employee.

After sitting absent-mindedly in the office for more than 20 minutes, someone knocked on the door. Ye Yinfeng's nerves tensed immediately, and before he could say "Please come in", the door was pushed open.

It was indeed Xia Xia who came in, with downcast eyes, holding a piece of A4 paper in her hand, walked towards him vigorously, put the paper on his desk, and said in a blunt tone, "Boss Ye, please sign it."

Ye Yinfeng didn't look at the content on the paper right away, eyebrows raised: "Why didn't you answer the call last night? We are all worried about you."

Xia Xia pursed her mouth and said nothing, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she cried more than once last night.Seeing this, Ye Yinfeng's heart softened again, he sighed, and looked down at the document she presented.

Unsurprisingly, it was a resignation letter.

"If you just want to leave every time something goes wrong, you won't be able to change companies." Ye Yinfeng calmly handed her the resignation letter back, "I won't approve it, you go out first." , calm down and let’s talk again——Guo Xiaxia, you can’t be too childish in your behavior.”

Xia Xia didn't reach out to pick it up.

Ye Yinfeng's gentle teaching made her want to cry again, but today is not what it used to be, all the sweetness in the past has been marked with cruelty in retrospect today, it is ridiculous that she once cherished those memories so much.

She calmed down, and finally dared to look directly at Ye Yinfeng, even though she only lasted for a few seconds.

"Mr. Ye, if it wasn't for what happened last night, I wouldn't even think about resigning. But I didn't leave on impulse... If I stay, I don't know how I will face you in the future."

She held back her sobs, paused for a moment and continued: "I also understand that it's not your fault, nor... her fault, it's me being too stupid... But now, I can't turn my mood back, let alone... I don't know how to get along with you, I can only leave... Please forgive me."

Ye Yinfeng had already seen that Xia Xia was maintaining the communication with him with a strong will, and he felt uncomfortable. The resignation letter was exchanged between the two hands, and finally fell on the table: "Since you are so Thought... well, I agree."

"Thank you." Her voice was low and inaudible.

"You go out first, I will talk to you after I communicate with the personnel department."

Xia Xia went out and closed the door carefully as usual, her desolate expression seemed to be reluctance, Ye Yinfeng saw it all, and only felt that she encountered an unsolvable problem.

His eyes fell on the resignation letter again, it was just a few lines, and the language was in a flat format, but he seemed to penetrate the paper, reviewing the more than 200 days and nights after Xia Xia came to the company, her laughter often Accompanied by his ear, he should also be a little bit reluctant.

Ye Yinfeng sighed again, took out a pen and signed his approval and name at the end of the resignation letter.

From handing in the resignation letter to leaving the company, within two or three days, Ye Yinfeng gave Xia Xia the green light all the way, and she quickly disappeared from Maixin's world.

However, Ergen has not been cleansed by leaving. From time to time, some ex-colleagues who are good friends with Xia Xia will always call for inquiries, and her few dry official explanations obviously cannot satisfy everyone's curiosity In the end, she couldn't stand all kinds of interrogation, so she simply turned off her mobile phone for a long time, and the world was quiet from then on.

But people need to vent their emotions when they are frustrated, and Xia Xia is no exception. She can't find her ex-colleagues, so of course she can only go to the "venomous tongue" Xiaochun to complain.

Xiaochun has one advantage, she knows how to guard against inevitability, but once something happens, she will not be complacent about chasing after it. In her words: Don't chase after the poor.

"Your boss, oh, no, it should be the former boss. I told you before that he definitely belongs to the kind of man who looks indifferent on the outside and has a turbulent heart. Ordinary girls can't catch his eyes. There is also that woman Qiu Wenxuan. You are very scheming, you are her opponent! My eyes are poisonous in judging people!"

Although it feels good to hear a close friend criticizing a "rival in love", but rationality tells Xia Xia that this is wrong.Moreover, the more vicious they are judged, the more they show their stupidity.

"Don't mention them, anyway, it will have nothing to do with me in the future!" Xia Xia sniffed listlessly, "The most important thing for me now is to find a new job."

Xia Xia is optimistic by nature and will not get entangled in one thing repeatedly. Although she still feels sentimental when she thinks about it occasionally, she decides to find a job to heal her emotional wounds.

Her first job after graduation was arranged by the hand-eye director of their department. She didn't get it right and lost it.After meeting Ye Yinfeng, he entered Maixin smoothly.So she took it for granted that finding a job was a matter of course and success.

But she obviously underestimated the difficulty of job-hopping.

There are occasional responses to the submitted resumes, and there is no news after the interview.The interviewer was concerned that she had worked in two companies within half a year, and the reason she gave for leaving seemed far-fetched.

"We have already understood your basic situation, and we will call you again if we have further news." After the interviewer's smiling politeness, there was basically no further information.

After tossing and tossing for half a month and still getting nothing, Xia Xia was really anxious.

Xiaochun comforted her: "It's almost the end of the year now, and many people are holding back their energy. They want to wait until they have received No. 13 months' salary before moving out! You have to be patient, and after New Year's Day is over, you will definitely come out for a while." Lots of new jobs."

"I can't wait! I'm so wasted every day, I can't sleep well at night!"

"That's why you are in a hurry! Instead of being like this, it's a pity to grind your teeth until the end of the year at Maixin. It's a pity to give you a salary increase!" Once Xiaochun finished his tongue, he felt that it was a bit too much, and hurried back to make up for it. If you’re really in a hurry, just look further away, don’t always stare at the few administrative positions, as long as you think you can do it, you can invest in it, such as logistics and procurement, you have to be brave to try!”

That night, Xia Xia sat cross-legged on the bed as soon as she had dinner, and searched her guts to list all her strengths and abilities. There were more than half a sheet of A4 paper, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

How can I be regarded as a promising young man who graduated from a regular university with ideals, accomplishments, and integrity. How could I be overwhelmed by a mere job?
Browsing the Internet until ten o'clock at night, she searched for more than a dozen positions that she could try in a daze. Her favorite was a Korean translation for a certain company.

In the second half of her junior year, she had nothing to do, and she was obsessed with Korean dramas at that time. In order to understand the lines in the original drama, she enrolled in a Korean class and studied hard. After a year, she was able to follow The Korean students in the school had a simple language exchange.

It was really lucky. The next day after the resume was submitted, Xia Xia received a call from the intermediary company, asking her to interview for the position of Korean translation: "Tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, remember to bring your ID card to the human resources department of Qunxin Technology Company to find a person." Miss Chen."

Xia Xia was stunned: "You mean... Qunxin?"

"Yeah! What's the problem?"

"Is it that Qunxin who makes communication equipment?"

"Hmm. Does Sanjiang have a second Qunxin?"

"But me, I did it in Maixin before...Maixin and Qunxin are competitors."

"Oh, then have you signed any non-disclosure agreement or documents like non-competition clauses with Maixin?"

Xia Xia recalled it, and answered truthfully: "That's not true."

Although she is Ye Yinfeng's assistant, the company's core documents have always been sorted out by Ye Yinfeng himself, and she is nothing more than a life secretary at best.

The intermediary breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine! As long as you don't sign the agreement, Maxim can't restrain you. You should prepare well, and I might as well tell you the truth, the department manager in charge of recruitment over there is quite satisfied with you."

"Really?" Xia Xia was overjoyed, her confidence greatly increased.

The intermediary couldn't help laughing: "So far, the resumes that have been submitted are only yours. They are in a hurry this time. If there is no accident, you will be able to go to work the day after tomorrow."

The intermediary is honest, and after three days, Xia Xia became a new member of the group.

Qunxin is so anxious to recruit a Korean translator because a Korean client is planning to visit the company on Christmas Eve. Xiaxia’s new boss—Sales Manager Lei Mingyang gave her a bunch of client information and told her to take care of it. Prepare, she will be required to be a simultaneous interpreter on the spot.

Xia Xia was terrified when she heard this, she didn't expect that she would take on such a big job when she first took office, and she almost wanted to give up her job.After thinking about it, you can't be so stage frightened, you have to face up to difficulties in order to make progress.

After suffering from insomnia for two consecutive nights, she finally had a solid understanding of the translation.I revisit "City Hunter" at home after work every day, in the name of cultivating a sense of language - although when watching the film, my attention is often drawn by the beautiful men in it.

Putting aside the pressure of translation, Xia Xia has adapted well in Qunxin. She belongs to the kind of girl who can talk to anyone. She is down-to-earth and well-behaved. He is treacherous and slippery, so he likes his boss Lei Mingyang very much.

Most of the colleagues in their department are male colleagues. Usually, they are indifferent. There is only one sales assistant who is also a girl. The one who does odd jobs for the entire department is Wang Jing.

Wang Jing is not quiet at all, she likes to gossip, once Xia Xia is gone, it will be hard for the two of them not to get acquainted.

"In our company, it's fine if you don't know about other things, but you must not offend Xiao Qi, who sells the second part."

"Why is that?" Xia Xia opened her eyes and humbly asked for advice.

"She and our Tian are always the same..." Wang Jing winked, "Anyway, you understand."

Xia Xia understood, but she didn't quite agree with it. After all, Tian Jingyi, the boss of Qunxin, was already very old, and he must have a family.She joked with a smile: "Didn't you say that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests?"

"Whatever the side of the nest, as long as it is grass, the rabbits will eat it now!"

Xia Xia met Xiao Qi once, she was quite a hearty woman, and she didn't have a bad impression, so she still didn't want to believe it: "Then... how do you know they have an affair?"

"This question is right on point!" Wang Jing beamed brightly, "One time she offended Boss Tian, ​​and Boss Tian wanted to ask her to leave. Unexpectedly, she went into Boss Tian's house in a fancy dress that afternoon. The office came out half an hour later, and then guess what, the officer was immediately reinstated!"

Xia Xia was stunned when he heard that: "Extremely fast!" But the confusion in his heart still lingered, "It may not be that they are here for real, Mr. Tian doesn't look like that kind of person!"

On Xia Xia's third day in Qunxin, he happened to meet Tian Jingyi in the corridor, and Lei Mingyang specially made an introduction for her.

Tian Jingyi is thin, dark, and has a serious face, but he is very kind to the newcomers, with a kind smile as if looking at a junior. Xia Xia also has a good impression of him.

"You can't judge by appearance!" Wang Jing frowned suddenly, "That's not right, Mr. Tian is not in the company these two days, how did you meet him?"

Xia Xia was surprised: "I just met him in the corridor yesterday, and Manager Lei even introduced us to each other!"

It was only then that Wang Jing suddenly realized: "Hi! The manager Tian I'm talking about is not Lao Tian, ​​but Xiao Tian—the director of our sales department, Tian Ning! He's on a business trip in Guangning and won't be back until the day after tomorrow!"

"I see!" Xia Xia felt relieved and nodded frequently.

She is quite familiar with the name "Tian Ning". When they were in Maixin, Cui Youxin and Ye Yinfeng often mentioned it.But it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, her direct boss is Lei Mingyang, so she just needs to work with Manager Lei.

Xia Xia turned around and forgot about it until two days later when she came to work, and when she passed by a row of manager's offices excitedly, a figure suddenly jumped out of one of them. A grenade thrown out.

When Xia Xia brushed past him, she vaguely felt that face looked familiar.

As if there was a tacit understanding, when she turned her head to confirm again, the man was also turning to look at her, both of them had similar doubts on their faces, and when their eyes collided in the air, the other's sharp eyes suddenly awakened Xia Xia. Xia memory.

Isn't this the same person as the evil star she met when she had dinner with Ye Yinfeng more than a month ago?
She trembled with fright, turned her face away in a hurry, and walked forward in a hurry, her mind was never idle for a moment.

Although Xia Xia's intelligence quotient is not outstanding, but after several episodes are connected together, she can easily guess that this person is the most important competitor of Maixin at present, that is, Tian Ning, the sales director of Qunxin, a former friend of Ye Yinfeng, Enemy now.

If Tian Ning, like her, still remembers meeting each other that day, with the current relationship between him and Ye Yinfeng, wouldn't he be in Qunxin...

Xia Xia couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing, as expected, she echoed the old saying: Enemies have a narrow road.

As soon as Tian Ning came back, the entire sales department immediately became lively, and almost all the cubicles were filled with people. Wang Jing ran before and after to inform the meeting, copy materials, and was too busy. Lei Mingyang asked Xia Xia to help when she was free. She, Xia Xia was naturally also happy, but every time she passed Tian Ning's office, she always lowered her eyebrows and kept her eyes down, not daring to look around.

Seeing this, Wang Jing asked worriedly: "Xia Xia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick to your stomach?"

Xia Xia decided to plan, and immediately nodded with difficulty while holding her stomach.

"Then don't go, there are two copies left, and I can copy them soon."

Just as Xia Xia wanted to run away, Wang Jing said again: "By the way, remember to tell Mr. Tian when you pass by Mr. Tian's office, everything he wants is ready."

"Ah?! Then, then, you should go and say it, and I'll copy it."

"Don't you have a stomachache?"

"It's much better now, hehe, really!" Xia Xia grabbed the copy and ran away.

The meeting in the evening required all the staff in the department to attend, so Xia Xia had to bite the bullet and go to the meeting room.Fortunately, there were so many people, she chose the most inconspicuous seat and sat down, spread out a notebook on her lap, and made an honest record of the leader's speech piously, in an attempt to disappear from the public.

However, Lei Mingyang was busy, and when it was his turn to speak, he deliberately took Xia Xia out for "interview", and grandly introduced the new Korean translator to the sales staff.

Xia Xia's heart was pounding, she lowered her head, wishing that there was nothing to cover her, with Lei Mingyang's narration, it was like a trial meeting.

Tian Ning folded his arms on his chest and looked at her coldly. Gradually, the mist of confusion in the morning dissipated, and the light in his eyes remained.

After finally surviving the meeting, Xia Xia returned to the department with all her colleagues. Wang Jing was joking with a few salesmen who rarely showed up. .

Ordinarily, she didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't have to dodge it, but when she thought of Tian Ning's eagle-like sharp eyes, she couldn't help being terrified.This person looks like a guy with little stomach, can he tolerate an employee who used to be by Ye Yinfeng's side?
Lei Mingyang walked in from the outside - he was called by Tian Ning to talk alone after the meeting.

Xia Xia deliberately didn't look at him, and hoped that he would pass by her side by chance, and go to work as he should.

But Lei Mingyang still stopped in front of her desk: "Xia Xia, come to my office."

Xia Xia shivered and stood up in despair.

After entering the door, Lei Mingyang sat down in his chair, raised his head and told Xia Xia: "Close the door."

Xia Xia closed the door nervously.

"Sit down and talk." Lei Mingyang stared at her and sighed, "Can you tell me what exactly do you do in Maixin?"

Xia Xia's face was flushed red, and she muttered and couldn't speak.

During the interview, she still did a little technical processing of her resume.

It is very common for employees to flow between competing companies, but the position of secretary is somewhat sensitive. Out of prudence, Xia Xia adopted Xiaochun's opinion, and did not clearly state that she is the secretary of the general manager of Maixin, only vaguely Said to do a miscellaneous job in the administration department.

Lei Mingyang was eager to get people, and seeing that the girl was cute and smart, he accepted her without careful questioning.

"Boss Tian told me just now, he said that you were Ye Yinfeng's secretary."

Xia Xia didn't dare to say anything, she looked at Lei Mingyang pitifully.

"Xia Xia, I have always had a good impression of you. I don't really care who you were as secretary, but..." Lei Mingyang sighed regretfully again, "Boss Tian cares more about this, so I'm sorry..."

Xia Xia was in a hurry: "Manager Lei, I was Ye Yinfeng's secretary, but what does it matter, I have never done anything that is not good for Qunxin!"

"Don't get excited, I can understand what you said, but... this is Mr. Tian's meaning, and I am also very embarrassed." Lei Mingyang shook his head helplessly.

Xia Xia's heart sank, and after falling to the bottom, the fear was gone, but the fire of anger began to blaze, she stood up, and the chair almost fell over with too much force.

Lei Mingyang looked at her in astonishment: "You, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to find Tian Ning!" She raised her small fist, turned around and ran out like a gust of wind like a generous soldier.

Tian Ning was joking with a few subordinates in the office, but he was the one with the highest decibels, and seemed a little like no one else.Before finishing a sentence, Xia Xia slashed in like a sharp sword, instantly cutting off the joy in the room.

"What's the matter?" Tian Ning raised his head proudly and asked knowingly.

"Mr. Tian! I have something to ask you!" Because of excitement, Xia Xia made a series of trills.

Behind her was Lei Mingyang, who was chasing after her, angrily trying to stop Xia Xia: "Guo Xiaxia! Why are you acting like a child!"

Tian Ning waved his hand at Lei Mingyang: "Mingyang, don't stop her, let her speak if she has something to say!"

There are more and more people watching around, even the office door is crowded with heads.

"You, why did you let me go?"

Tian Ning leaned back leisurely, clasping his hands on the back of his head: "Because you are a spy sent by Ye Yinfeng!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter inside and outside, like a farce.

Xia Xia's face became more and more red. In addition to the initial anger, shame was added at this moment. She suddenly felt that she was really naive, and talking about justice with an old idiot was simply playing the piano against the cow.

"Mr. Tian, ​​forgive me." Her voice was surprisingly calm, "No matter what you want to compare with Ye Yinfeng, you will lose." Tian Ning's happy smile froze slightly, and he stared at her coldly. No one dared to laugh anymore.

"Because you lack his vision and mind." Xia Xia took a deep breath, took a breath, and finished the rest of the sentence, "You are petty and narrow, and you draw conclusions based on your personal likes and dislikes, and you don't even bother to think about whether you should do that. You do things like this, I really don't know what Qunxin will become in your hands!"

"Xiaxia..." Lei Mingyang squeezed his sweat and called her again, intending to stop her, but it was of no avail.

Xia Xia tore off the badge and threw it on Tian Ning's table: "You don't need to rush, I will leave by myself. Because in my opinion, this company has no future!"

Under the watchful eyes of many dumbfounded onlookers, Xia Xia walked out of Tian Ning's office with her head held high.

It rained for several days in a row, and Xia Xia's heart was also wet with the lingering rain.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the roommates went to work, and the rental room was quiet.

Xia Xia got up listlessly, glanced at the thick stack of translation materials on the case, and couldn't help but sighed again.That short week in Qunxin seemed like a lifetime ago.

The wonderful scene in Tian Ning's office did not bring any substantial benefits to Xia Xia, except for a happy mouth, followed by the distress of unemployment.

She went to Xiaochun to complain, but this girl was having a lively time with her elementary school classmates recently, and when Xia Xia poured out her bitterness, she held up half of her face, with an unpredictable and misty smile rippling on her face, He didn't listen to Xia Xia's words at all, let alone comfort him.

Xia Xia couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no matter how tough a girl is usually, as long as she is pregnant, she is all virtuous.

After washing up and eating a cup of cereal, she began to think about her day's plan.Of course, the theme is still looking for a job. Although the current situation is difficult, I have to cheer up for three meals and re-enter the new competition.

She sat in front of the computer and glanced at the cell phone that had been silent for a long time.This broken mobile phone is also a snobbish person. It usually rings non-stop. Once I lost my job, it also became dumb.

Just after slandering the mobile phone, the mobile phone rang unconvinced, Xia Xia grabbed it excitedly, and felt discouraged at first glance, it was Lei Mingyang who called, probably there was something missing in the resignation procedures, and she was notified to make up for it.

"Xia Xia, you haven't found a new job yet, have you?" Lei Mingyang smiled with a relaxed tone.

Xia Xia also smiled wryly: "No, I'm not a sweet potato."

"Then you come back."

"what?!"

"Our Mr. Tian has figured it out. You and Maixin really don't have any relationship anymore, haha. Mr. Tian is actually quite reasonable."

Xia Xia couldn't accept it for a while, her cheeks were warm: "But I said that day, how could he still..."

"Xia Xia, in fact, you underestimate Mr. Tian. If he is really like what you said, how can Lao Tian entrust him with the most important business! In short, don't think about it, and you are welcome back at any time—unless you I don't want to!"

"I," Xia Xia said with a choke in her throat, and finally turned thousands of words into one sentence, "Of course I am willing."

Returning to Qunxin, Xia Xia has almost become a celebrity. Everywhere she goes, people greet her with a smile.

Wang Jing quietly revealed gossip to her: "You can come back this time mainly because Lao Tian showed his power, and he also thinks that Mr. Tian has handled your affairs too hastily. But in order to save face, let Mr. Tian call you back. You will come back later. Be careful when you see Mr. Tian, ​​don't get caught!"

After Xia Xia came back, Tian Ning summoned her once, and her expression and tone were very serious: "It's nothing to ask you to come back. Lei Mingyang has a good impression of you and said a lot of good things for you, and," Tian Ning paused , "Your temper is also quite to my liking, I prefer people who speak the truth."

Xia Xia was embarrassed by the compliment, and was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of the ridicule in Tian Ning's eyes, and immediately blushed again from embarrassment, completely lost in her thoughts.

Tian Ning was not interested in listening to her expressing gratitude, so he let her go with a raised hand.

It's not too sad to return to her hometown after going through all kinds of calamities, but people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. As a group of new news figures, Xia Xia will never be able to live the carefree life when she first arrived. So I secretly made up my mind that as long as there is a chance, I still have to leave Qunxin.

A few days later, Xia Xia received a call from Xiao Shuang from the personnel department of Maixin. She was also a well-informed person.

"Xia Xia, are you okay in Qunxin?"

"Fortunately."

"Did Tian Ning make things difficult for you again?"

"No." Xia Xia felt awkward, "How do you know?"

Xiao Shuang giggled: "Your experience in Qunxin is known to everyone in Maixin. It is definitely headline news! Oh, even Mr. Ye has heard about it!"

As soon as Ye Yinfeng was mentioned, Xia Xia's face changed involuntarily. She didn't want to listen to Xiao Shuang's talk, so she quickly took the right to speak: "How is your place? Are they all good?"

"It's the same! It's just that your seat has never been taken up. Now Yanyan and I help share the chores." She lowered her voice, "Mr. Ye is very demanding, and he picks his nose. Picky, I have read two stacks of resumes, but I can't pick out one that can be interviewed. It's all your fault. You did this job to the extreme back then, and the sea was too difficult for water!"

Although Xiao Shuang was joking, Xia Xia's heart could not help feeling sad again. Ye Yinfeng's past love was vividly remembered, but there were thousands of mountains and rivers between her and him.

"Also, I ran into Xu Jing at dinner that day, and he was going around asking me about you." Xiao Shuang chuckled lowly, "Xia Xia, you see that people don't change their infatuation with you, do you want to give up?" Seriously consider it?"

If Xiao Shuang hadn't mentioned it, Xia Xia would have almost forgotten about Xu Jing, and smiled and said, "When did you change your career and become a matchmaker?"

Xiao Shuang was laughing happily, and a figure outside the cubicle flickered, she hurriedly whispered: "I won't tell you, I will ask you out to play next time!" and hung up the phone hastily.

Ye Yinfeng handed a stack of materials to Xiao Shuang: "Make five copies of each."

"Okay, Mr. Ye!" Xiao Shuang held the documents and added graciously, "If you have anything to do in the future, just call me."

Ye Yinfeng glanced at her, and said slowly: "You were busy just now."

Xiao Shuang's face turned red like a frost leaf.

"The copy is ready, give me the original, and give the copy directly to Mr. Jin." After Ye Yinfeng instructed, seeing that Xiao Shuang was still embarrassed, he smiled softly, "Thank you!"

Ye Yinfeng returned to his office, but didn't immediately enter the working state, and stood by the window for a long time.

It's been half a month since Xia Xia left, maybe she left too suddenly, and she couldn't get used to it all at once, and she always felt a sense of loss.

For two nights, he stayed alone in the company to work. When he was engaged in work, he grabbed the phone and dialed Xia Xia's extension without thinking. The phone rang several times and no one answered, and he suddenly woke up.

Whenever he raises his glass and takes a sip of cold tea, he realizes that the days of Xia Xia are gone forever—when she is around, the tea in his cup will always be warm.

She has only been here for more than half a year, but she has put her imprint on almost everything.

He tried to wrench himself out of his melancholy state of mind. He had only lost a capable secretary.But this kind of self-persuasion is too unconvincing.Why didn't he understand that apart from the ordinary employment relationship between him and Xia Xia, there was also friendship, and - injury.

Someone knocked on the door, softly and rhythmically, he cheered up: "Please come in."

It was Xiao Shuang who came in and brought him the original.

Ye Yinfeng nodded reservedly: "Put it on the table."

Xiao Shuang put down the file and turned to leave.

"Xiao Shuang!" Ye Yinfeng called to stop her, "Show me the resume you selected last time."

"Are you recruiting a secretary?"

Ye Yinfeng nodded.

Xiao Shuang smiled: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Let the past be the past.Ye Yinfeng turned around and let out a long breath.

Xiaxia's translation workload was minimal, especially after the potential client in Korea canceled their visit.

"Their chairman suddenly fell seriously ill, and the business expansion plan had to be suspended." Lei Mingyang explained to her in this way.

"Then, will you come again after that?" Xia Xia became nervous, it was related to whether she could keep her job.

"It's hard to say now." Lei Mingyang noticed Xia Xia's uneasiness, and smiled, "Don't worry, no one will drive you away after passing Mr. Tian's test."

Xia Xia grinned happily. After the "battle" with Tian Ning, she now has a thicker skin: "Manager Lei, if Wang Jing is too busy in the future, just do it for me."

"Hehe, of course. But," Lei Mingyang changed the subject, "You can't just help Wang Jing, so there will be gossip in the second sales department. Anyway, you are such a winking girl, if you have a job, you can come quickly. Just do it."

"Understood!" Xia Xia sang.

In this way, she was completely reduced to a handyman in the department.The entire sales department knows that there is such a young guy who is always on call, who wouldn't be willing to order him around?

For a long time, Lei Mingyang watched Xia Xia go back and forth between the two departments, losing weight from the busyness, and inevitably felt dissatisfied.After all, Xia Xia is also his subordinate, and several people in the second sales department are more ruthless than themselves in arousing her.

He went to Tian Ning to discuss it, and Tian Ning was quite straightforward: "In this case, just give Guo Xiaxia to me, I am short of an assistant here!"

When Xia Xia heard that she was going to help Tian Ning, she was really frightened, and clung to Lei Mingyang and refused to move: "I think this is fine now, really, Manager Lei, I like working here !"

Lei Mingyang was self-defeating and couldn't feel wronged. He scratched his scalp and comforted Xia Xia: "Your current position, to be honest, is quite embarrassing. It's not a good name. It's a good intention for Mr. Tian to transfer you there. There will be great chances of promotion in the future."

Xia Xia couldn't listen with a bitter face.

Lei Mingyang understood what she was thinking, and chuckled: "Xia Xia, you really don't need to be afraid of President Tian. Last time you put eye drops on him in front of so many people, he didn't do anything to you."

"If you're afraid, you're afraid," Xia Xia sighed, "He's just starting to take revenge now!"

The order came like a mountain, but in the end she had to obey. Xia Xia bit the bullet and went to report to Tian Ning, and was solemnly arranged in a seat outside Tian Ning's office. She looked to the left and right, and several director offices were like this The layout, the secretary sits at the door of the office, although everyone looks calm, Xia Xia still finds it very eye-catching, and mutters in his heart: "You look like a watchdog."

I think when she was in Maixin, Ye Yinfeng's arrangements were more humane, and the secretaries were all arranged in a unified cubicle, but it was just closer to her boss.

Tian Ning's former assistant has just been transferred to do procurement. She is a pretty good-looking girl. She thinks that she has no future as a secretary. Look for the position you like and apply for it, with Tian always behind you, the success rate is [-]%."

Xia Xia nodded frequently.

The work of the assistant to the director is much more leisurely than that of the assistant to the general manager. It is nothing more than serving tea and water, typing documents and so on.It's just that Tian Ning's personality is really hard to compare with Ye Yinfeng's, and he always sneered at Xia Xia. Xia Xia kept in mind the warning of his former assistant, and abruptly swallowed his words back into her throat. She was really worried that after a long time, she would Will you get laryngitis?

The torture within eight hours was fine, but Tian Ning didn't let her get off work on time, and she had nothing to do in her seat. Xia Xia felt that she was really a stupid watchdog.

One day before she got off work, she couldn't hold back and asked Tian Ning this question: "Mr. Tian, ​​can I only work overtime when I have something to do in the future, and get off work on time when I have nothing to do?"

Tian Ning glanced up at her, and said in a strange way: "Isn't that how you came here at Ye Yinfeng's place? Oh, you'd be happy if you co-operated with him to help him, and you'll have an opinion when you come to me?"

"I only work overtime at Mr. Ye's place when I have something to do." Xia Xia was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Okay! Then I'll find something for you to do, okay?"

Xia Xia was so angry that her eyes were staring, she became more and more convinced that Tian Ning transferred her here for revenge.A narrow-minded person like him was choked by himself in public, how could he let it go?

"What else do you have to say?" Tian Ning stared at Xia Xia triumphantly.

"You made me understand a truth," Xia Xia gritted her teeth, her voice was low but clear, "The world is as black as crows, you, you are blacker than crows!"

"Hey! You..." Before Tian Ning could form a counterattack, Xia Xia had already shaken her head and closed the door loudly.

"Grandma is a bear! It's against you!"

Tian Ning flicked his pen and jumped up from the chair, trying to catch up with her and argue with her again, but his rebuttals couldn't be strung together, so he could only stand behind the door with his hips crossed, blowing his beard and staring.

Xia Xia easily left the company with her bag on and went straight to the supermarket.No matter what rights and interests, you have to fight for it yourself.

On the way, she also briefly worried about the possibility of being expelled, but she immediately vetoed it.As long as Tian Ning doesn't take advantage of her for a day, he won't let her leave for a day - she is very sure of his villain mentality.

Therefore, she had to adjust her strategy accordingly in the future, and she couldn't just listen to her ex-assistant's words and blindly flatter her. That would not only make her aggrieved, but one day Tian Ning might feel that she had bullied her enough and kicked her out.

After planning all the way to the supermarket, Xia Xia walked briskly, feeling full of fighting spirit all over her body, and the stale air and bustling crowd rushing towards her from the supermarket door made her feel very cordial.

After picking radishes and cabbage, Xia Xia went to pick fruits again. A tally clerk was pouring the newly arrived apples into a large wooden frame, surrounded by customers, and she stretched her neck to get closer.

The hem of the clothes was pulled by someone, she turned her head in surprise, no one was there, then she lowered her head, and saw a little boy staring up at her.

"Xiaodong!" She couldn't help shouting, then looked around, but there was no sign of Wen Xuan.

Xia Xia withdrew from the crowd, knelt down and asked, "Why are you here alone?"

"Aunt Xiaxia, I miss you." Xiaodong always answered irrelevant questions.

Xia Xia's eye sockets were suddenly wet, and she couldn't clarify many emotions for a while. She sniffed and said, "I miss you too."

"Xiaodong!" Wen Xuan ran over from the frozen food, with a panicked expression on her face, "Why are you running around!"

Seeing Xia Xia, Wen Xuan felt a little embarrassed: "Xia Xia, so you are here too."

Xia Xia also became awkward, let go of Xiaodong's hand, and looked a little strange: "I should go."

Wen Xuan didn't know what to say, so she nodded with a smile.

Under Xiaodong's eager gaze, Xia Xia turned and left while pushing the cart.

Wen Xuan stared at her back in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yinfeng's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "I just called you and didn't answer?"

Wen Xuan came to her senses: "Did you call? I didn't hear you."

He took out his phone to check, and sure enough there were two missed calls.

Ye Yinfeng laughed at her: "What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

"It's nothing." She turned up the volume on her phone, "Go and see the candy, Xiaodong said he wants to eat a kind of chocolate candy packed in Christmas boots..."

Coming out of the supermarket, Ye Yinfeng put a few bags at Wen Xuan's feet, and he went to the underground garage to pick up the car.Xiaodong walked up and down the street restlessly, and Wenxuan couldn't even catch her.Seeing this, Ye Yinfeng turned back and hugged Xiaodong.

"Xiaodong should accompany uncle to pick up the car!"

Xiaodong twisted in his arms a few times before giving in. She is no longer afraid of Ye Yinfeng, but it is always difficult to get intimate with him, and Ye Yinfeng is making unremitting efforts for this.

"Xiaodong, why is the candy so delicious in Christmas boots?"

"Because those are Santa's boots."

"But candy is the same candy!"

"Those are Santa's boots." Xiaodong emphasized again seriously.

"Okay." Ye Yinfeng shrugged and changed the subject, "Would you like to share your candy with others?"

This question made Xiaodong think for a while, and she suddenly said without thinking: "Aunt Xiaxia."

"Huh?" Ye Yinfeng froze for a moment.

"I saw Aunt Xia Xia just now." Xiaodong spoke clearly.

"In the supermarket?"

Xiaodong nodded heavily.

Ye Yinfeng's heart was beating violently, Wen Xuan's dazed expression and his strong reaction at this time made him feel uneasy, as if an unknown haze was quietly enveloping him.
