She should have thought that Yan Yuan was a person who did not know how to use idioms and liked to pretend to be educated and use idioms blindly.
Let’s not talk about whether Yan Yuan’s sophistry is justified?
Zhang Ling was indeed deeply moved when she heard that Yan Yuan was devoted to her.
I originally wanted to accuse Yan Yuan of being fine and pretending to be pitiful while lying on the hospital bed to trick her into crying.
She could only say softly:
"Okay! I've convinced you. I was just having dinner with an important client. What do you mean by calling me here in such a hurry?"
Yan Yuan admitted her mistake like a child and said:
"I'm sorry, I really don't know. What important customer wouldn't be angry if you come like this?"
"Say it quickly! I have to go back to the company to work after I finish talking." Her tone was a bit harsh.
Zhang Ling felt that her sudden departure might have offended Mr. Mi.
Where did she go back to work at the company?
Most likely, when I return to the company, I will be scolded by the group general manager.
Yan Yuan realized that Zhang Ling was unhappy and quickly got to the point and said:
"I'm here to find you. I just want you to help me ask Li Xiang where that guy Chen Jian is? I'll deliver the gift myself."
Zhang Ling slapped her head hard and said:
"Oh my god! It's not like you don't have Li Xiang's phone number. Why do you have to go all the way to ask me via remote control?"
Besides, she put Li Xiang on the blacklist because of the misunderstanding caused by Shangguan Aoxue.
It was really embarrassing for her to take the initiative to call Li Xiang at this time.
Zhang Ling explained with a bit of a wry smile:
"Well! You are a couple after all. I am your best friend, so it would be wrong to contact Li privately."
When Zhang Ling heard this, she wanted to confess that she wanted to break up with Li Xiang, but the words came to her lips but she did not say them out.
Yan Yuan continued:
"So if this matter gets out, it will easily cause misunderstandings among outsiders. It will make it look like I am seducing your Li Xiang. As good sisters, we have to avoid suspicion, right?"
Because Yan Yuan knew from Zhang Ling that Li Xiang had two boats.
He was also furious and blacklisted Li Xiang.
What's more, she promised Li that she wanted to help find out why Zhang Ling ignored him.
For this reason, Yan Yuan had already accepted the gift box that Li Xiang promised to send, but she didn't tell him the answer to Li Xiang's needs before she knew it.
Regardless of the sisterly relationship with Zhang Ling, Yan Yuan felt that what she had done was too unkind.
So the two sisters were unwilling to make this call and declined each other.
"Express delivery!" Zhang Ling took the lead when she saw that she couldn't convince anyone.
"Express delivery?" Yan Yuan actually didn't want to choose this method.
I always feel that it is not sincere enough to send an apology in this way.
Zhang Ling continued:
"If you insist on sending an apology, I suggest you send it directly to their company and attach a handwritten letter of apology."
"Okay, this is a great suggestion!" Yan Yuan exclaimed happily.
Doing this will also avoid the embarrassment when two people meet.
Zhang Ling felt relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her body.
Suddenly, they accidentally saw someone not far away watching them.
When the man realized that he had been discovered, he quickly turned around and left, leaving only an afterimage.
Although it was an afterimage, she was basically certain that the person must be a woman.
"Yan Yuan, did you feel that someone was watching us just now?"
"Is someone watching us?"
Yan Yuan listened to Zhang Ling's supernatural words and nervously grabbed her arm and looked around.
"Could it be that my suitors can't stand their loneliness anymore and want to use such violent means to kidnap me? Zhang Ling, something will really happen later, you must save me!"
Zhang Ling said deliberately teasingly:
"Why should I save you? Someone should have taken care of you, a scourge like you."
"You...are unloyal!" Yan Yuan continued to defend his behavior, "I didn't sacrifice my always innocent reputation just to help you get rid of those suitors. Why am I in trouble now, sister? You
If you want to leave me alone, there’s no way!”
Oh my god!
Yan Yuan really dared to say any words to herself.
The word "chunliang" doesn't seem to match her Yan Yuan!
Zhang Ling calmed down her surprise and said:
"Okay, don't worry. The person staring at us is a woman. And this woman feels very familiar to me."
"It can't be Li Xi!" Yan Yuan guessed as she let go of Zhang Ling's arm. She then rolled up her sleeves and looked around again, her eyes full of anger and said, "Where is that? How dare this little girl come out to beat me! I, Yan Yuan, am here today
Just fulfill her."
"no!"
Although Zhang Ling looked at Yan Yuan's actions in vain, her heart was still warm.
"No? Zhang Ling, where did you attract this hatred from?" Yan Yuan put a hand on Zhang Ling's shoulder and said worriedly, "You have such a body of hatred! It's really worrying!"
She shook her head and explained:
"The familiarity I'm talking about doesn't mean the kind of familiarity between classmates and friends. But..."
Zhang Ling thought hard about how to describe that feeling?
Yan Yuan became more curious and asked:
"What?"
Zhang Ling suddenly said:
"It's like the familiarity between relatives. To be more specific, it's probably a bit like the feeling between mother and daughter."
Because she really didn't know how to feel about the relationship between mother and daughter.
This feeling is also experienced through books, film and television dramas, etc.
Yan Yuan found it funny when she heard Zhang Ling describe her like this, but considering the fact that Zhang Ling had never had a mother since she was a child, and that they had been the best sisters since childhood.
Yan Yuan could only suppress the strong smile caused by Zhang Ling's words.
"Okay! It's almost time. Let's go to work quickly."
Zhang Ling noticed that Yan Yuan was holding back a smile. When they walked out of the hospital door and left, she took the initiative to say with an indifferent expression:
"Don't hold it in!"
"Why don't you hold it back?" Yan Yuan pretended not to know and asked with a puzzled face.
Zhang Ling said: "I know you want to laugh. Laughing, as I said before, is like the feeling between mother and daughter. If you want to laugh, just laugh. I don't care."
Yan Yuan's heart seemed to be broken when she saw Zhang Ling lowering her head, and the strong smile she had before disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Ling was waiting for Yan Yuan's laughter, and she felt that she could bear it.
After all, she felt that she had already accepted the fact that she did not have a mother.
And what she just said made her fantasize about maternal love again, causing her to suddenly think that her mother was still alive.
Now that she thinks about her previous remarks, she thinks it is a big joke.
So she had to tolerate Yan Yuan's next laugh.
This can be considered as using the cruel truth to tell her to stop fantasizing about her mother.
But she didn't wait for Yan Yuan's smile for a long time.
Suddenly, to her surprise, her body was held in Yan Yuan's arms.
The tight feeling made her feel the warm body temperature of Yan Yuan's body, which acted as a catalyst to heat up the relationship between them again.
Yan Yuan's gentle voice came to her ears:
"Don't say that! I won't laugh at you for this. Remember we are the best sisters."
Zhang Ling, who had always been strong, burst into tears like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and said "Yeah" with bursts of sobs.
To be honest, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart that Yan Yuan did not laugh at her but held her in his arms.
Because the moment she was hugged by Yan Yuan, she realized that she was not as strong as she thought she was.
At this moment, she desperately needs a happy hug.
The time of happiness is always so short.
In order not to be late for work, they can only force themselves to end the hug.
Zhang Ling walked into the group building with anxiety.
Some colleagues greeted her normally, while others stared at her with hostile eyes. There was even Xiao Jin who stood in the hall early, waiting for her.
"Vice President Zhang, you're here!" Xiao Jin came over and said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Ling looked at Xiao Jin and guessed that something must have happened.
It is possible that Mr. Mi came to the company to investigate because she left early for lunch.
Zhang Ling asked directly: "Is something wrong?"
"The general manager asked me to wait for you here. He said that as soon as he sees you at work, he will ask you to go to his office immediately." Xiao Jin replied.
Xiao Jin obviously didn't practice enough, and Zhang Ling actually heard a sense of schadenfreude in her words.
"Oh, I got it!" Zhang Ling suddenly thought of Bie Shanliu, looked at Xiao Jin again and asked, "Is Bie Shanliu back?"
"Her! Before, I called and said she wouldn't be back to report in the afternoon. She said there was a lot going on at Zhihua Technology." Xiao Jin should have stopped when he said this, but continued to add insult to injury, "I think she has a lot going on.
, mostly..."
As Xiao Jin spoke, he could clearly feel the coldness in Zhang Ling's eyes, and he did not dare to continue talking at the moment when his eyes came together.
Zhang Ling said in a serious tone:
"Remember, you answer whatever I ask in the future, and don't talk nonsense. Do you remember that?"
"Remember!" Xiao Jin was like a child who got into trouble admitting his mistake to an adult.
Xiao Jin followed Zhang Ling into the elevator.
Very strange today!
In the past, they shouldn't have been the only ones in the elevator at this time.
Other colleagues would rather stand outside and wait for the next elevator than come in together.
Xiao Jin still helped Zhang Ling press the floor number out of habit.
She watched Xiao Jin help press the floor where the general manager was.
Suddenly, a similar scene came to mind.
It was when she was the smart manufacturing project manager of X joint venture technology company.
At that time, she seemed to be facing a rumor crisis of being "kept".
Now her situation is not optimistic either.
At noon, she left the meeting early because of a phone call from Yan Yuan. She probably learned that Mr. Mi of Ruozhen Vision of Country H had messed up an important cooperation in the eyes of many people in the group, so the general manager of the group would definitely not invite her up for tea.
.
When she came to the door of the group general manager's office.
It's time to face it.
When she heard that she was allowed in, she took a long breath, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she didn't see the scene when she was still the smart manufacturing project manager.
When the general manager saw her arrival, he immediately stood up from his desk and greeted her with a smile.
"Xiao Zhang, you're finally here. Come and sit here." The general manager led her to the sofa in the rest area.
Zhang Ling murmured in her heart.
The general manager in front of her was completely different from the armed escort who escorted her to the banquet when she got off work at noon.
Could it be that he is harboring some bigger conspiracy?
Anyway, she doesn't feel very good!
"Okay!" Zhang Ling sat on the sofa in the rest area.
Seeing the general manager brewing a cup of coffee for her and bringing it over, he placed it within her reach and said:
"I heard that you like to drink tea. I'm sorry, but it's a pity that I don't have it here. Then I'll give you a cup of coffee that I brewed by myself. It should taste good! Try it and see."
Zhang Ling’s eyes were even more surprised!
Could it be that she has always misunderstood the general manager?
This feeling is a bit like when Mr. Mi eats lunch.
But compared to Mr. Mi, his skills are still somewhat inferior.
This may be another side of the general manager that no one really knows.
Zhang Ling's mind was very clear at this time.
She just touched the coffee cup with one hand and said:
"Thank you. General Manager, I heard that you have something to do with me. Let's talk about business first."
"Business! Can't I just treat you to a cup of coffee alone? Xiao Zhang, you are thinking too much." The general manager took a sip of coffee and then gestured after swallowing, "Well, today's coffee has a unique taste. Xiao Zhang
, you try it quickly."
Zhang Ling raised her hand and glanced at her watch. It was already past the prescribed working time. She stood up slowly and said:
"Since the general manager has nothing special to say, I still have a lot of official business to deal with..."
The group general manager said calmly:
"Why are you anxious? It's not too late to leave after drinking this cup of coffee. My management philosophy has always focused on employees' work-rest balance. Sit down, sit down, and drink coffee."
Zhang Ling could only sit down again with some helplessness, and took a sip of coffee as the general manager asked.
Zhang Ling, who is not used to drinking coffee, only thinks that this coffee is no different from traditional Chinese medicine.
"Zhang Ling, do you have any relatives at the top of the group?" the general manager suddenly asked.
"Ah! General manager, why do you ask that?" Zhang Ling was a little surprised.
She really didn't understand why the general manager asked this question?
The general manager of the group then said with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal chat. It's nothing."
Zhang Ling looked at the general manager. It didn't look like chatting at all, but more like she was trying to get some information from her.
indeed!
She was suddenly appointed as the vice president of the group in advance, as if she were airborne.
This has never happened before in the history of the group.
It is inevitable that people will misunderstand that the senior management of the group has some kind of strong backing from Zhang Ling.
"Did the general manager hear any rumors?" Zhang Ling asked suspiciously.
All she could think of was that someone was spreading rumors and slandering her again.
"Rumors?" the group general manager said with a smile, "There are no rumors. It's just a casual chat between us. Don't get me wrong!"
"oh."
She knew that she might offend Mr. Mi when she spoke frankly about it at lunch, which would definitely make the group general manager furious.
She felt that she would have to face this kind of thing sooner or later.
It's better to take this opportunity to say it now.
She drank the coffee in front of her like wine and said:
"General Manager, there is something I think it is necessary to inform you in advance."
The general manager of the group thought that Zhang Ling was going to confess to the group's top management who was her backend.
He looked at Zhang Ling with great interest and said:
"You said it, I'm listening."
"General Manager, I'm sorry. I probably offended Mr. Mi at Mr. Mi's invitation to lunch."
She mustered up great courage to finish speaking, lowering her head and waiting for the storm from the general manager.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
It turns out that waiting to be reprimanded is a great torture.
Seeing that half a minute had passed, the group general manager's angry rebuke was still not heard.
She is surprised!
Even if the general manager of the group is brewing feelings of reprimand, such a long time should be enough.
In fact, what she didn't know was that the general manager of the group was also in a dilemma at this time.
Because he is weighing the pros and cons of offending his unknown boss versus offending his ignorant colleagues and subordinates.
The general manager of the group finally spoke:
"Oh, haha, it's okay. In fact, I have the same opinion as you. I am more inclined to cooperate with Zhihua Technology. After all, it is a local company and everything is easy to communicate with."
