Chapter 285 In my position, shouldn’t I be timid?

When Ouyang Murphy came to the manager's office, he immediately said to Hu Qiang impatiently before Hu Qiang could say anything:

"It's almost time to get off work, why did you ask me to come here? Then, let's agree first that we don't have to worry about duty matters! Don't expect me to stay on duty!"

"Of course not." Hu Qiang smiled, "Since Tang Haixing is on duty, it will naturally be his business until he can't handle it anymore."

"Hmph!" Ouyang Murphy curled his lips, "If it's not on duty, what is that?"

Hu Qiang smiled: "Of course it's something else, a good thing."

"A good thing?"

"Yes, it's definitely a good thing!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Qiang explained the whole story clearly. Then, Hu Qiang laughed and said to Ouyang Murphy:

"Murphy, the discount package that Secretary Jin got this time is 998 for two people's high-end Japanese food, plus 998 for two people's high-end spa.

After calculation, it is equivalent to two 499 per person, which is not cheap.

Look, don’t I still owe you three meals, three movies and three amusement parks?

Otherwise, if I pay 998 for you this time, how about three meals and three movies?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ouyang Murphy rolled his eyes.

"Then two meals and two movies?" Hu Qiang said.

"One meal at most!" Ouyang Murphy raised a finger.

"This is too much!" Hu Qiang frowned immediately, "This is 998!"

Ouyang Murphy curled his lips: "If you can't pull me down, I'm going back."

"Hey, wait!" Hu Qiang said quickly, "Look, it's more reliable to pay the money on the spot, isn't it?

How about two meals and a movie?"

"Stop blabbering!" Ouyang Murphy raised his chin and said impatiently, "Just one meal, that's fine. If not, I'm leaving."

"No, no, no, I admit it. Is it okay to accept it?" Hu Qiang sighed, "Just one meal."

Ouyang Murphy curled his lips: "998, are you going to do it?"

"Yes, I'll do it." Hu Qiang nodded.

Ouyang Murphy said lazily: "By the way, are you so afraid of eating with me?"

Hu Qiang sighed: "Isn't this nonsense? Murphy, it's not like you don't know that in this Ministry of Public Security, everyone is always spreading rumors in private about what you and I have to do.

As a leader, of course I have to lead by example and guard against mistakes.

If I went out to eat with you in private and someone found out, then it would be really hard to tell.

At that time, if someone accuses me of harassing my female subordinates, how can I still get along? Where can I put my face?

Besides, it’s not good for you, right?

You are still a young girl. If someone gossips that you are having an affair with me, what will you do in the future? Who would dare to want you?"

"Tch!" Ouyang Murphy curled his lips.

"Some people like to spread rumors and cause trouble, so that's fine, I don't care about that.

It’s just that I can’t hear it. If I heard it, I would just ask a lawyer to sue them!

If you sue one by one, sue them directly to the end and see who suffers the loss!"

Hu Qiang frowned: "This is so inappropriate. Besides, if you do this, even if you can win the lawsuit, what's the point?

For example, when Secretary Kim was harassed by her boss, even if she successfully resisted in the end, her reputation was ruined and she would never get back up.

You are the same, you are usually a bit weird..."

Speaking of this, Hu Qiang noticed that Ouyang Murphy's eyes suddenly became a little dangerous, so he swallowed and changed his words decisively: "Very maverick, very different!"

"Hmph!" Ouyang Murphy crossed his arms with a look of disdain.

Hu Qiang blinked and continued to persuade: "Anyway, Murphy, you also know that you have made many enemies in the company. Except for us, most of the others in the company actually have a bad relationship with you.

You are just relying on your professional skills and you are not wrong, so everyone avoids you and gives way to you.

But once you have a weakness, especially a weakness in matters between men and women, those people will definitely add insult to injury and talk nonsense.

As the saying goes, public opinion makes gold, if word gets out that I have anything to do with you, whether it's that I'm harassing you or you're harassing me, it will be very troublesome.

At that time, no one will care about the truth at all and will only gossip and spread lies.

Once rumors fly around, it will not only hurt me, but also you, and even others in the Ministry of Emergency Affairs.

So Murphy, the reason why I am so careful is all for your sake, no, it is for everyone's good."

Ouyang Murphy sighed: "Old Hu, Old Hu, it's really hard for you. I have to tell so much nonsense in just one sentence. Is it so difficult to just say that you are scared?"

Hu Qiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily to Ouyang Murphy:

"Yes, I'm scared, so what?

In my position, shouldn't I be timid?"

Having said this, Hu Qiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and exhaled deeply.

Afterwards, Hu Qiang said with a serious face: "Murphy, I am not you, I am different from you.

I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I am still middle-aged. I have to support the whole family by myself. I, I no longer have the qualifications to be willful!

Who doesn’t want to find a young and beautiful girlfriend?

Who doesn’t want to have a young and lovely girl with whom I can cook, eat and talk when I get home from get off work?

But it doesn’t work.

I am a manager, I have a lot of work to do, I have to perform well and work hard, because why? Because I can't leave here.

Once I leave this comfort zone, with my current age and education, what competitiveness will I have, and which other company will want me?

I want to make money to pay off the mortgage, I want to make money to reimburse my mother’s medical expenses, I want to make money to enroll Xiao Hutao in interest classes, and I want to make money to pay for nanny fees.

There are mountains on my body, and I must be careful every step I take to make sure I don't make any mistakes.

But you are different. You are young, beautiful, and skilled. You don't have to worry about being fired or not being able to find a job.

You don’t have a mother with Alzheimer’s disease and a daughter who is in elementary school. You have almost no burden on you.

As for a boyfriend, well, given your conditions, it’s just a matter of whether you want him or not. It’s you who is picking someone else, not someone else who is picking you.

Therefore, you can be as willful as you like and be independent as much as you like, because you have this condition.

However, just because you have the conditions to play, does not mean that others should follow you!

I can't afford to play your game, do you understand?

In fact, you are just curious about me for a moment.

But as time goes by, your curiosity will wear off and it will naturally become boring.

So, let’s just be a normal pair of superiors and subordinates, okay?

Why do you have to complicate the relationship, don’t you think?”

After hearing what Hu Qiang said, Ouyang Murphy, who had always been expressionless, suddenly smiled coldly: "Have you finished speaking?"

Hu Qiang blinked and nodded nervously.

Ouyang Murphy curled his lips:

"Tch, I'm talking a lot of nonsense, as if I really have something to think about you.

You are an ordinary man, can you be a little bit smart, and can you stop being sentimental?

If you are like you, why would I fall in love with you? I won’t even take a picture of myself by peeing!"

"Well, it turns out I was overthinking it." Hu Qiang sighed, "That's the best."

"Okay!" Ouyang Murphy waved his hand lazily.

"I'll go, I'll just accompany Secretary Jin! I've had enough of you!

By the way, remember to transfer the red envelope to me later! That’s it!”

After saying that, Ouyang Murphy ignored Hu Qiang, put his hands in his pockets, and left the manager's office in a carefree manner.

When Ouyang Murphy left, only Hu Qiang was left in the room.

Hu Qiangcai, with a solemn expression on his face, lay down on the chair like a piece of plasticine without bones.

"I was scared to death. I thought Murphy was going to hit me."

"It's okay, okay, I finally got through it safely, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Amitabha, Amen."
