Chapter 35 Coercion
As a result, Cheng Jia still didn't kill me. She only ordered two home-cooked dishes and a plate of appetizer, and then told the waiter. I said dissatisfiedly: "Why order this dish? It's not enough to use thirty yuan in total! Don't save it for me, I sincerely thank you!"
Cheng Jia smiled and said, "It's enough for us to eat. Besides, I only like to eat these home-cooked dishes!" I didn't believe it, so I grabbed the menu and ordered two more expensive seafood. Cheng Jia kept saying, "Okay, okay, don't waste it if you can't finish it!" I stopped and ordered two more cups of hot drinks and asked the waiter to go down and get it.
When Cheng Jia saw that the waiter had left, he immediately asked me: "You didn't come to work since that day. I thought something had happened to you. Later, when I heard from Manager Fan, I realized that you were on a business trip with Hua Jingjing. By the way, you haven't finished drinking that medicinal wine? What kind of medicine is that?"
I smiled and said, "It's a powerful laxative. If I drink it, it will be miserable. Maybe I'm still lying in the hospital now! So I really want to thank you very much. If you didn't tell me in time, I would have been beaten to death by Hua Jingjing this time! I owe you a favor. Just treating you to a meal will not repay your great kindness. So as long as I have something to use in the future, even if I give me an order, I, Tang Qian, will never frown."
Cheng Jia smiled and said, "What kind of kindness, what kind of kindness, what is in the water and fire? How can it be that serious? I just mentioned you to wake up, so you don't need to repay you! Then why did Hua Jingjing drug you? Did you offend her?"
I sighed and said, "Oh, it's hard to say anything!"
Hua Jingjing next door suddenly realized, and felt very resentful, and said to herself: "I said, how could Tang Qian know in advance that there is medicine in the wine? It turned out that this stinky girl was informed. Good thing Cheng Jia! You made me make all the foolish lady look down on Tang Qian and she was so shameless. I must not let you go. I will take revenge on you! I want to take you-bye, I thought of a good idea, ha! I think Tang Qian what to do?"
At this time, the waiter came to greet her. Hua Jingjing did not dare to speak or eavesdrop on her anymore, otherwise she would have to arouse the waiter's suspicion. She shook her head, stood up and walked away.
The waiter was very surprised and murmured: "Strange thing, I'll sit and leave when I come, and don't want anything. I don't say a word. Isn't you crazy? But she doesn't look like her dress?"
I briefly told Cheng Jia about the reason for my grudge against Hua Jingjing. As for what happened after drinking that glass of medicinal wine, since it involves a woman's privacy and face, I am not the kind of person who likes to expose people's scars behind my back, so I just took it a little without mentioning it.
While speaking, drinks and dishes came up one after another. I picked up the chopsticks and said, "Don't talk about these boring things anymore. Come on, start eating!"
Not long after eating, Cheng Jia took a sip of the hot drink and asked me: "According to what you say, if you are a secretary under Hua Jingjing, wouldn't you be persecuted by her every day? What's the point of such a job? Have you ever considered changing a position or just quit?"
I lowered my head to eat vegetables, silent. Of course, I should quit my job, because my boss is my enemy. If you work under the enemy, how can you have good fruits for you?
But when I was with Hua Jingjing recently, the hostility between us seemed to be much weaker, and Hua Jingjing showed it clearly. Although she still wanted to argue with me from time to time and became unhappy, the feeling that it gave me was no longer the right thing, and that - it was like acting cute.
I suddenly remembered the panic and weakness that Hua Jingjing showed when I was angry yesterday morning, as well as her tears. With Hua Jingjing's competitive personality, how could she express it in front of the enemy she thought?
Also, the vow made by Hua Jingjing in person! I could not see any hypocrisy or deception in her eyes, so it could only be a voice that came to my heart. If this was fake, then Hua Jingjing would be too terrible and could simply win the Academy Award.
When did it become like this? I asked myself in my heart. For a moment, I couldn't answer it with certainty. I only knew that before I was sent to the hospital, Hua Jingjing still hated me to the core. Could it be that Hua Jingjing was moved when she saw that I was working hard all night to save her?
Only this explanation makes sense. Hua Jingjing is still aware of it.
While I was thinking in my heart, I suddenly heard Cheng Jia say, "What are you thinking? You are distracted again!" I was shocked, came back to my senses, smiled, and said, "I'm trying the taste of this dish, well, it's very good."
Cheng Jia smiled again and said, "Stop teasing, you are eating the side dish leaves of this dish. What's the good taste?" As he said that, the princess kept laughing.
I curled my tongue and thought to myself, "Is that so? I just thought about something and picked up something, but I didn't pay attention to it." Seeing Cheng Jia laughing at her face, she had to smile awkwardly.
Cheng Jia smiled for a while, and finally regained control. After eating a few bites of food, she asked me again: "I asked you just now, why didn't you answer? Haven't you ever thought about it?"
I said, "I thought of it, but I was able to work in the company's planning department. My former marketing department manager Gu spent a lot of effort to transfer me. I accepted her great affection and promised her to work hard in the planning department and achieve some results. But I have to transfer or quit my job before I have been working for two days. I feel very sorry for Manager Gu's good intentions and embarrass her, so I haven't decided to stay or leave for a while."
Cheng Jia said "Oh" and said, "That's right, I've heard of Gu Ruoyan. It is said that she is a tigress and treats her subordinates very fiercely. It seems that she is okay to you!"
I said seriously: "Nonsense! Manager Gu is a real good person. Others say that to her, but they just don't understand her. Although she looks cold on the outside, she is very kind inside. She is, alas! She didn't say anything to me."
Seeing that I became serious, Cheng Jia stopped talking and just lowered her head to drink a hot drink. Seeing that she was a little concerned, I felt sorry for her, she smiled and said, "Of course, you didn't say anything to me. There are very few people in the company who are really good to me, you are one of them. Cheng Jia, I think you are very cute, kind, and a good girl!"
Cheng Jia began to climb onto the red clouds when she heard this, and said in a very low voice: "Why did you say that you are talking about me? Who is good to you?"
Seeing that she was shy, I hurriedly said, "Eating vegetables is almost cold!"
From now on, we will not talk about the company's topics, but will only talk about our own interests and hobbies. Before we knew it, we would have almost finished our meal and dinner.
Cheng Jia said: "I'm full, so let's do it. I promised my mother that she would go back early to watch TV with her."
I said, "Okay, I'll take you back. Miss!" As I said that, I waved to the waiter.
Cheng Jia said: "No, I can just fight by myself."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I'll stop a taxi for you."
After paying the meal, she and I walked out of the restaurant. A taxi happened to pass by. I reached out and stopped me. Cheng Jia opened the door and sat in, and said to me: "Thank you for dinner tonight, goodbye!"
I waved my hand and said, "I'd better thank you. If you have something to do in the future, please let me go!" The taxi drove away quickly. I took out a cigarette box, took out one and held it in my mouth. While lighting the cigarette with a lighter, I turned around to block the wind. As soon as the fire was lit, I suddenly saw a woman standing proudly three steps away from me, playing with a small cell phone in my hand.
This - isn't this Hua Jingjing? How could she be here!
I opened my mouth so wide that the unlit cigarette fell from my lips, and I didn't feel it.
Hua Jingjing sneered: "It's quite hard to part with it, why don't you send your little lover home directly?"
I finally recovered from peace and said, "What little lover? Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just ordinary colleagues! By the way, what are you doing here?
"Waiting for you?"
"Wait for me? Why are you waiting for me? How do you know I'm here?"
"Hmph! I'll give you a word. If you don't know, don't do it yourself. I've been wondering why I've made such a secret arrangement of drugging. How could you find out? It turned out that someone reported that a female spy appeared in my company! That's great. It's time to rectify the planning department!"
I said angrily: "You eavesdropped on us? How can you do this? What do you want to do to Cheng Jia?"
Hua Jingjing said: "This year's planning department has performed poorly, and according to Mr. Qi, some people have disclosed some of the company's planning content to other competitive companies, which has caused us to be in a very passive position in the market. We have been looking for this trampling worm, and now it seems that we have found it."
I scolded: "Nonsense! This is just a matter of two things. You are retaliating! I warn you not to do anything randomly and to make facts!"
"Huh! I was anxious for my little lover, and I actually started to threaten me. Let me tell you, I will take revenge on you. What can you do to me? I am the company boss, and I have the final say in everything in the company. Tomorrow, I will let that stinky girl get out of the way!"
She said and turned around and left. Now I was so anxious that I hurriedly caught up with her in two steps and shouted: "Hua Jingjing, don't go too far! Cheng Jia is not wrong, all the mistakes are here with me. If you want to fire me, please don't blame the good people!"
Hua Jingjing glanced at me and said, "Oh! You sacrifice yourself for others. Do you really like that stinky girl so much? No! I just don't let you go, but I just want to fire her. I want to make you feel uncomfortable and feel guilty!" As she said that, she continued to move forward.
I stood there, trembling all over my body and shouted hard: "Hua Jingjing! You are despicable! You are shameless! You persecuted innocent people in order to vent your personal anger."
Hua Jingjingli ignored me and was still leaving. I thought that if Cheng Jia was fired by the company because of helping me, I would feel guilty and sad to death for this. How could this be done? I would rather suffer myself than let my benefactor suffer a little!
Seeing Hua Jingjing go away, I can do nothing, and in despair I shouted: "What's going to do? You won't go to trouble Cheng Jia?"
