Until I overheard their discussion in the break room.
“Lin Ran is just a green tea bitch!”
“She’s only been at the company for a few days and has already hooked up with President Fu.”
“Otherwise, how could she possibly get to collaborate with President Fu?”
“Exactly, just look at her; she’s always so sneaky.”
“Otherwise, how could she be bold enough to go directly to President Fu?”
The more I listened, the angrier I became.
What nonsense were they spouting?
I had clearly earned President Fu's recognition through my own abilities.
What did it have to do with them?
Just then, the leader walked in:
“Do you all know?”
"Lin Ran has used quite a few tactics to secure the project."
"Look at her skirt; it's so short you can see her thighs."
"Dressing like that for work, how can she be an honest person?"
I could no longer tolerate it and pushed open the door to the break room with force.
"Have you all said enough?"
When the manager saw me, there was no hint of shame in their demeanor.
"Lin Ran, did I say anything wrong?"
"If you don't work honestly, how do you expect to get the opportunity to collaborate with President Fu?"
Fuming, I shouted back:
"Do you think everyone is like you, only good at flattering others?"
"I worked hard to secure a major deal for the company."
"But you can't even meet President Fu's requirements, and yet you have the audacity to criticize me?"
The leader was left speechless by my words.
The other colleagues also lowered their heads.
"I spit on you!"
I spat vehemently.
"You bunch of petty people, only able to gossip behind my back."
"Why don't you confront me face to face?"
The entire break room fell silent.
Everyone kept their heads down, not daring to look at me.
I let out a cold laugh.
"It seems this company can't accommodate me anymore."
"Then I'll resign."
In my anger, I resigned on the spot.
When I got home that night, I checked my Social Security, Health Insurance, and Recruitment Software.
To my dismay, I found that the Project Bonus and Year-End Bonus the company allocated to me only totaled five thousand dollars.
Clearly, the Project Bonus we negotiated was supposed to be nearly ten thousand.
Not to mention the Year-End Bonus.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
It wasn't until my best friend returned that I finally broke down and cried in her arms.
"Wahhh..."
"Those people at the company are all jerks!"
My friend patted my shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't be mad anymore."
"Our boss gave me a Project Bonus and said it was what you deserved."
"And he also reimbursed you for that sofa you gave to President Fu."
I immediately stopped crying.
Yet, I still felt a sense of injustice.
At that moment, Fu Xi sent me a message on WeChat:
"Why didn't you come to cook today?"
"You're ignoring me."
"What's wrong?"
I pounded on the keyboard fiercely:
"You’re not my boss."
"I don’t have to cook for you."
I silenced my phone and continued drinking with my best friend.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that my friend's phone rang.
She answered the call, said a few words, and then handed the phone to me.
"Fu Xi is looking for you."
I took the phone and saw that Fu Xi had sent a message in our project group chat:
"Termination of contract."
"You have dismissed the person I was responsible for."
"Therefore, this collaboration cannot proceed."
"Cancel the partnership."
"Refund the money."
The former leader kept trying to explain in the group:
"President Fu, please let me explain."
"It's not like that."
But Fu Xi had already left the group and stopped responding.
I stared at the phone screen, dumbfounded.
Does this mean I can continue to collaborate with Fu Xi?
And my former boss has lost this opportunity?!
I was completely drunk.
I didn't even notice when Fu Xi arrived.
"Sister?"
"Mm?"
I groggily opened my eyes.
I saw Fu Xi's handsome face.
He was dressed in a neat suit, leaning against the sofa.
A cigarette was pinched between his fingers.
Noticing my gaze, Fu Xi smiled and said,
"Would you like to come work at my company?"
"Ah?"
I was momentarily taken aback.
