C31 Similar to Love
"You're on Zhou Si Yu's side, aren't you?" Zhang Xiaoyan raised her voice by a lot. There was a strong sense of blame in her tone.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Jia was dumbfounded. She had never been willing to stand on the side randomly, so why was she 'being' on the side again? She was not going to take the blame for this. She was determined not to take the blame.
"Miss Lin, I can stand here and say all this. I still believe you in my heart. I really hope. . . I can speak frankly with you, and you can also wait with sincerity. " She rubbed her eyes. Her eyes were blurred, and her makeup was dirty. A black panda eye hung in the air, but Zhang Xiaoyan seemed to have forgotten about it. She sobbed and continued, "I'm 28 years old this year. I've met a few guys since I graduated. I've been in love for a few days, but if you're talking about love, that feeling. . . It was really the first time he had experienced it. Look at him. . . His heart would beat faster, and he would feel dizzy. He would be overjoyed and he would feel that every day was filled with anticipation. Because he was in the company, his daily heavy work was also filled with enthusiasm. I am willing to work overtime, and I am willing to come to the company early the next day. Even if it's just a passing by, I'll just take a look at him. I am also excited in my heart. That feeling. . . It was as if I had suddenly turned back into a little girl, having countless happiness every day. Although we've only been together for about two months, the number of times I smile is even more than the total number of times I've laughed in these few years. "
Lin Jia still didn't quite understand what she heard. She pursed her lips: "If you like it so much, then let go and chase after it. "
"Zhou Si Yu suddenly became intimate with Manager Su. There were a few times. . . I saw them standing at the front desk and talking and laughing. Manager Su doesn't like sweet food. Zhou Siyu forced him to eat biscuits and even said that she cooked it herself. If Manager Su didn't eat it, she would feel very sad. This woman is a scheming b * tch. In order to achieve her goal, she dares to say anything. She dares to do anything. "
When mentioning the beautiful and enthusiastic front desk sister, Zhang Xiaoyan was filled with resentment.
She glared angrily at Lin Jia. "Miss Lin, you also feel that I'm not as good as Zhou Siyu in your heart, right?"
Lin Jia could not bear to stand out and criticize her again.
"Your private matters have nothing to do with me. First, I will make it clear. I did not help Zhou Siyu, nor did I intend to help you. If you like men, then go after them yourself. If you chase after them, it's your ability that can't catch up to your fate, so don't drag innocent third party into it. If this is the real reason why your mood changed so much that it affects your work, I think you should apply for a vacation. Use this time to calm yourself down. Of course. . . If you feel that my proposal is not appropriate, you can also apply for a transfer from the Human Resources Department. You haven't been by my side for a long time. What you said today. . . I'm very disappointed, Zhang Xiaoyan. You have let yourself down. For an unclear love. . . You actually chose to destroy your career with your own hands. Stupid! "
"I. . . " Tears that were on the verge of collapsing gushed out of Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes. "Miss Lin's performance during the group building meeting has already explained a lot of things. Zhou Siyu, who clearly should not have come to participate in the group building meeting, forced her way over shamelessly. You and Manager Su play dice, she plays around Manager Su like a sparrow. You don't even feel irritated, coming to the company every morning. Zhou Siyu purposefully fawns over you and sends health tea over. You didn't refuse either. . . "
Although Lin Jia didn't want to hear it, Zhang Xiaoyan still told her everything about the source of her resentment.
"It's time to get off work. " Lin Jia reminded her expressionlessly.
Zhang Xiaoyan was in a daze. She kept crying.
"Control your emotions. Go back and seriously think about what I said. If you still can't adjust yourself when you come to work tomorrow, I'll apply for a new assistant from the personnel department. " Lin Jia turned a deaf ear to him and ruthlessly chased him away without showing any sympathy. As for comforting him, that was even more out of the question.
Zhang Xiaoyan walked away while crying.
Lin Jia pinched the space between her eyebrows tiredly. Between working overtime and going out to take a breather, she hesitated.
At that moment, the phone rang silently. She stared at the name on the screen, lost in thought.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jia put her coat between her arms and walked out of the office.
A figure flashed before her and Su Huai appeared before her, blocking her way.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Jia's attitude was obviously not so good. She had no choice. This person in front of her was the main culprit that caused her to lose a capable general. Now, when she saw him, she recalled Zhang Xiaoyan's crying face, and it was truly difficult for her to forcefully put on an amiable expression.
"CEO Lu, there's something you need. The appointed time to report will be delayed by an hour. Lin Jia, do you want to go out and have a simple dinner together?"
"I have an appointment. " Lin Jia pulled the corners of her mouth. "We have to rush over now. There's not enough time. "
Su Huai raised his brows. "Refuse in another way?"
"There's really something. " Lin Jia persisted without changing her expression.
"Alright. " Su Huai compromised and made way for her.
Lin Jia thanked him and brushed past him.
Before he could relax, he noticed Su Huai slowly following behind him and entering the elevator together with him.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the office building, Lin Jia said goodbye to Su Huai once again, but she didn't walk very far. When she turned around to look, she noticed that Su Huai was casually following behind her.
When she met her clear eyes, Su Huai lightly smiled. "I'll go nearby and settle dinner. After reporting in later, I might need to work overtime. "
Lin Jia wanted to say that this sort of thing didn't need to be explained to her and had nothing to do with her. Moreover, she didn't have such a great curiosity that she wanted to know.
Those words were brewing at the tip of her tongue. But Su Huai didn't say anything. He walked faster and was half a step ahead of her. From her angle, she could only see his straight back and slender legs.
At the entrance of the building, a tall man in sportswear walked two steps forward after seeing Lin Jia.
"Senior Liao, why are you here? Didn't we say we would meet at the restaurant later?"
Senior Brother Liao rubbed his fingers. "I didn't have any classes this afternoon, so I got off work early. I have plenty of time, so I came to pick you up on the way. "
His excuse was always the same.
It seemed that no matter where he was or how far the journey was, when he came to find her, it was always the same way.
Lin Jia had made up her mind long ago. The reason she agreed to invite him out today was to get rid of this ambiguous situation. It was destined that no story would happen, so she didn't want to keep giving him the false impression that she was looking forward to it.
"Eh, isn't that your department director? His surname seems to be Su?"
Senior Brother Liao very naturally greeted when he noticed Su Huai's gaze drifting over from time to time. "Manager Su, do you still remember me? You guys worked overtime that night. I came to deliver something to her. "
The other party took the initiative to express goodwill, and Su Huai's footsteps turned as he walked over, and the corners of his mouth raised into a warm yet cold arc.
"I remember that you're Miss Lin's boyfriend?"
