However, to Wu Youyou, this tone and these words were nothing but outright blame.
Wu Youyou, driven by emotion, exclaimed, "Are you blaming me for Lan Qingqing? For a bad woman, you're blaming me? You never used to get angry with me!"
Zong Jin turned his head away, avoiding her gaze, his expression awkward. He had indeed never lost his temper with Wu Youyou before, but in the corporate environment, rules and authority still mattered. He could tolerate Wu Youyou's personal vendetta and allow her to use her position to deal with Lan Qingqing, but he absolutely could not let her act recklessly to the point where someone needed to be taken away by an ambulance, especially in front of so many employees.
Just moments ago, as he passed the break room, he heard a loud crash. He turned to look through the glass door and saw Lan Qingqing collapsed on the glass table, shards scattered everywhere, and a pot of hot water spilled all over the floor. Fortunately, the glass was shatterproof and did not injure anyone, and the hot water had not splashed onto Lan Qingqing.
When he rushed into the break room, Lan Qingqing appeared to be on the verge of unconsciousness. He supported her body as she murmured for Wu Youyou to let her go. Zong Jin was confused about what had happened; it wasn't until he asked the employees in the office lobby that he learned what Wu Youyou had done to Lan Qingqing.
At that moment, the relationship between Wu Youyou and Zong Jin grew increasingly tense. Tong Le could not stand by idly; she quickly stepped in front of Wu Youyou and urged her, "Let's go to the office first. We shouldn't argue here; there's definitely some misunderstanding."
Suddenly, Wu Youyou shoved Tong Le aside. "What misunderstanding! I just made things difficult for Lan Qingqing—so what? On my first day at work, she made things hard for me! What I'm doing now is perfectly justified; I'm simply getting back at her so she'll remember! I said it before: if she can't handle it, she can quit! It's her choice to stay! And how could she suddenly faint? Just a moment ago in the break room, she was arguing back at me! She's just pretending!"
Zong Jin remained silent with a cold expression; he wasn't good at handling such situations and didn't know how to placate women.
Tong Le tried to forcibly pull Wu Youyou toward the office, but Wu Youyou turned and rushed toward the elevator instead, disappearing from sight.
Tong Le stood there, troubled and sighing.
Zong Jin spoke up, "Let her cool off for a bit. That's just her temperament. By tonight, when she's calmed down, I'll have a good talk with her."
Tong Le replied to Zong Jin, "Wu Youyou might have gone a bit too far, but she knows who she likes and dislikes. Besides, I think Lan Qingqing was probably faking it earlier in the break room. She usually seems as strong as an ox; I hardly ever hear her say she's been sick."
Zong Jin felt overwhelmed; dealing with conflicts between women was incredibly challenging.
After leaving Zong Group, Tong Le headed straight to Tongshan Real Estate.
As soon as she got off the elevator and entered the office area, several people led by Jiang Zhichao greeted her with small gifts.
Jiang Zhichao celebrated, "Congratulations to our Tong Le Jie! Sister Tong is amazing! You've landed a big contract with Zong Group!"
Tong Le was also happy; securing this contract was not only for herself but also ensured job security for the employees at Tongshan Real Estate. After all, in today's economic climate, business was tough.
In the office, Ke Jie called out from the doorway, "Tong Le, come in for a moment."
Tong Le entered Ke Jie's office.
She placed the signed contract on the desk and explained that everything was settled; now it was just a matter of various meetings and processes before they could start work soon.
