She wanted to speak again, but I interrupted her: "So, do you think you have a problem right now and want to take it out on me?"
"Song Juan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm just speaking the truth."
Our argument attracted the attention of passing employees.
They looked at us curiously, seemingly wondering why I dared to argue with Gu Nian.
Gu Nian also noticed their gaze, her face alternating between pale and flushed.
"Song Juan, if you don't understand, just learn properly and stop talking nonsense here."
"If I don't understand, aren't you supposed to teach me?"
"You..."
She wanted to say something again when a voice came from behind: "What are you two arguing about?"
Gu Nian's expression changed, turning into one of respect.
"Chairman."
My dad glanced at her and then at me: "What's going on?"
Fearing I would complain, Gu Nian quickly said, "I was just teaching Song Juan. She didn't understand something, and I'm helping her."
"Is that so?"
My dad looked at her with suspicion: "Where are you taking Song Juan to learn?"
"I..."
She bit her lip: "I'm taking her back to the department."
"Let's go, Song Juan."
I gave my dad a look, signaling him not to interfere.
I wanted to resolve this in my own way.
I entered the engineering department with Gu Nian.
She handed me a stack of documents and said, "Organize these; we need them for tomorrow's meeting."
"Is this a lot?"
"Is it too much?"
"Manager Lin, you're my superior. I will definitely complete the tasks you assign, but you can't expect me to handle a day's worth of work all at once, can you?"
"Are you the manager of the engineering department, or am I?"
"Of course, it's you."
"Then should you listen to me, or should I listen to you?"
"…"
Her unreasonable attitude made the other colleagues in the engineering department turn to look at us.
She was completely unashamed and instead appeared quite justified.
I had no choice but to sit down.
She walked away confidently in her little high heels.
I looked at her retreating figure in confusion.
Why did she have such hostility towards me?
"Wu Jian, do you know why?"
Wu Jian shook his head. "No idea."
"It seems like she's only like this with me."
"Yeah, I find it strange too."
He hesitated for a moment. "Song Juan, do you have some personal grievances with Gu Nian?"
"No, not at all."
I thought carefully and confirmed that I had no impression of her.
"None?"
Wu Jian looked puzzled. "Then why did she treat you like that?"
"Maybe it's because I'm pretty?"
"Pfft—"
Wu Jian burst out laughing. "Song Juan, you're really funny."
"I'm serious."
"Hahahaha..."
He laughed even harder.
"Alright, stop laughing."
I shot him a glare. "If you laugh again, I'm going to get angry."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
He suppressed his laughter. "But you're really too full of yourself."
"This isn't being full of myself; it's confidence."
"Sure, sure, confidence."
He patted my shoulder. "Then work hard; I believe you can do it."
"Mm."
I nodded and lowered my head to continue looking at the documents.
It wasn't until Wu Jian left that I realized what had happened.
