C68 Girls Shouldn't Fight too Hard
Linjia's back slammed against the wooden door.
In front of her was Su Huai.
And the distance between them was virtually no distance.
She was face to face with him, and her body was pressed tightly together.
This kind of inappropriate distance always made one feel extremely uneasy.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Jia could clearly hear footsteps coming from outside the conference room. Someone passed by. And it was unknown when they would suddenly barge in.
She suppressed her voice to the lowest, forcefully pushing him. She didn't push him, but instead made him stick even tighter.
"Don't worry, I just want to talk to you" Su Huai lowered his eyes, and his dense eyelashes trembled a few times.
"Let go of me first, let's chat at the table. " Lin Jia tried her best to maintain the stability of her voice.
Su Huai didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly laughed.
He was sure. "You're really very nervous. Look, your forehead is full of sweat. "
Lin Jia subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead. There was indeed sweat, but it was absolutely not as exaggerated as she said.
"Did you hear that? Your heart is beating very fast. "
Lin Jia bit her lips, "When someone barges in and sees this scene, they will definitely misunderstand. "
"Misunderstanding what? You're single, I'm single, so what if it's a misunderstanding? Are you afraid? " He bent down, and the breath he exhaled brushed past the hair by her ear, as if he had electrified her. It was a little numb, a little itchy, and ripples spread out.
"It's not that I'm afraid. " Lin Jia suddenly stopped moving.
She tilted her head and looked to the other side. There was an abstract oil painting hanging there. At first glance, it was a pile of colors. After looking at it for a long time, she realized that there was a woman with a blurry face hidden in the colors.
"Su Huai, don't you understand? What you're doing now is very easy to cause misunderstandings. " She paused for a moment, then her voice softened. "I'll misunderstand. "
" Misunderstanding what? " He suddenly became interested.
"Misunderstanding that you like me. " Lin Jia curled her lips in mockery. "It's a misunderstanding that you've fallen in love with me. "
"If you were the one who came to meet me that night, you would have received a bouquet of red roses. " He tightened his grip. "I thought I expressed it very clearly. "
"I don't know. " She shook her head, put her hands on his chest, and tried to pull away from him.
However, it was useless.
His arms were like two steel bars firmly wrapping around her.
"Now you know, I understand, I understand. Lin Jia, do you want to give me an answer? " He narrowed his peach blossom eyes.
This atmosphere was suspected to be a confession.
However, this atmosphere did not seem like a confession at all.
"Stop messing around, Deputy Director Su. I still have a lot of work to do. There's still a small meeting in the afternoon that needs to be started at 1: 30 PM. " It was already 1. 25 PM.
In another 5 minutes, even if she didn't leave, there would still be people looking for her.
If any of her colleagues saw the scene that she shouldn't have seen during this period of time, there would definitely be endless rumors and rumors.
Perhaps there was no need to expose anything. Su Huai's sudden appearance in the Silken House project team today was already sufficient for others to let their imaginations run wild.
Lin Jia felt a headache.
This project was something that she had waited for a very, very long time before waiting for an opportunity.
She cherished it very much.
"Lin Jia, you really. . . "
Su Huai's words were interrupted by a hurried knock on the door.
Assistant Bei tried to push open the door to the conference room. "Boss, everyone is waiting for you. . . Strange, why can't you push it? Is the door to the conference room broken? It was fine just now. "
Su Huai and Lin Jia quickly separated.
One had a calm expression, while the other had a flushed face.
Assistant Bei tried again. This time, the door was very easily opened, and she was unable to stop in time and almost fell down.
"What's with this door? Where is it stuck?"
Lin Jia glanced at Su Huai and pretended to be calm as she spoke. "Then does Deputy Director Su have any other suggestions for work? If not for me, I would have to go to a meeting. "
"You can continue with your work. " Su Huai took a step and left.
When he brushed past Assistant Bei, Assistant Bei subconsciously took a large step to the side.
Assistant Bei only patted her chest exaggeratedly when Su Huai disappeared from his line of sight and let out a long breath. "Didn't Deputy Director Su just come back from his vacation? Why does his mood still seem to be very bad? His gaze just now really scared the baby to death. "
"Did he?" Lin Jia casually replied and quickly walked out the door.
"Boss, Deputy Director Su must have something very important to talk to you about, right?" Assistant Bei was curious.
Su Huai had long since become a hot topic figure in the entire HMF. He was very handsome, and his background was extraordinary. His promotion speed was unparalleled. Although he had always been in the Business Department, his body seemed to always be surrounded by a mysterious halo, causing people to be unable to resist guessing everything that was related to him.
It was just that although Su Huai seemed to be easy to get close to, in reality, it was not easy to get close to him.
This was practically the shared feeling of everyone who tried to get close.
Before Assistant Bei entered the project team, she was considered an outstanding figure in the Sixth Business Group. Her strength was strong enough and her actions were swift and decisive. However, she was not cold and arrogant and treated everyone with a warm smile.
The first time she saw Su Huai, she left a very deep impression.
It was a feeling of being similar to her own kind, and it was very subtle.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to come into contact with him more deeply, and Su Huai's side was always surrounded by people. There was a Zhang Xiaoyan whose face was filled with love and determination, staring at everyone. There was also a receptionist girl, Zhou Tingyu, who was always watching from the side, waiting for the opportunity not too far away. Assistant Bei was the same as many other professional women who lived in the HMM world. She did not want to develop a relationship that was impossible to develop. To get into all kinds of trouble.
It was fine to stay away from gossip.
When one got close, they were afraid that they would get into trouble for no reason. That was absolutely not possible.
Assistant Bei followed beside Lin Jia and walked forward. She casually asked a question, but she did not get an answer. It was as if she had forgotten about it. She was not impatient or annoyed, and she would not repeat the question.
In any case, as long as they were in the project team, they would always find out about these things.
- - -
The progress of the entire project wasn't easy.
Because of the attention it received, the pressure was immense.
Everyone in the project team had clear and detailed work goals. They would report their work every 48 hours, and they had said that if they could not keep up with the pace of their work and dragged others down, they would be expelled.
After leaving Silken Jade, they would leave Silken Jade. This also meant that their career had come to an end.
Travelling against the current, one would fall back if one did not advance.
Apart from charging forward, no one had any way out.
That was a battle where they had to fight with all their might. Who would care about any way out?
For two consecutive days and two nights, Lin Jia only slept on the simple bed in the office for five hours. Moreover, it was an incoherent sleep, and she woke up a few times in the middle.
The first business data analysis was finally placed on her desk.
It was not easy to get it.
But after looking at it, her furrowed brows never relaxed.
"If you hand over this form to the Jin Xiu Project, you can basically stop it. " Xiao Zhu held two black circles and yawned with all his might. After muttering to himself, he made himself a cup of thick coffee that was as black as medicine and poured it into his mouth with a frown.
The bitter taste that made one want to vomit spread in his mouth.
In the project team, the purpose of drinking coffee was only to calm one's mind. It had never been enjoyment.
"Is it a calculation step, or is there a mistake in the sampling database?" After Lin Jia flipped through it for the second time, she closed the form.
"Boss, this analysis was finally combined by three groups of people. If it is reasonable to say that one group is wrong, then the three groups are wrong at the same time. Moreover, the conclusion of the mistake is shockingly similar. This kind of probability is almost non-existent. Don't doubt your own eyes, The Jin Xiu project evaluation value can't even pass the minimum passing average. There's basically no need to continue. " After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, The members who sat over successively fell into a stiff silence.
It sounded like a big joke.
The project team had just gathered together and were ready to do something big. A bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.
"What should we do? Should we prepare to write a work email and submit it to the higher-ups?" Xiao Zhu asked what everyone was thinking.
Lin Jia looked at the clock. "There are still 12 hours until the deadline given by the higher-ups. I won't submit it for the time being. I want to study it again. "
"Boss. . . " Xiao Zhu looked at the dark circles under Lin Jia's eyes that were deeper than the others and wanted to say something.
Assistant Bei pulled his arm and shook his head, indicating that he should not interrupt.
"I know what you want to say, and I believe in your abilities. There won't be any mistakes during the most basic model evaluation stage, but since the HM and C & G spent so much effort to launch such a project, I believe that it definitely won't be an unrealistic idea. " Lin Jia pinched the space between her eyebrows. "Let me write the report for the higher-ups. But I will be stuck at the final time to complete it. Everyone can get off work now. Go home and take a shower and have a good rest. See you tomorrow. "
The project team members stood up and left one after another.
It was rare for them to get off work at just the right time, but no one was happy.
When almost everyone had left, Lin Jia stood up and went to the window.
The office space that the company had vacated for the project team was three floors higher than the floor where the original business group was located. The field of vision was even wider. Standing in front of the window, one could see that the old man was far away. It was as if the entire city was under their feet.
She stared blankly for a long time until Su Huai's voice sounded from behind her.
"Other people have already gotten off work, yet you're still here looking at the scenery. It's rare for you to be in a leisurely mood?"
Lin Jia slightly turned her body and looked at him who was standing not far away with one hand holding onto his jacket as he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.
"I was planning to work overtime. "
In order to prove that what she said was true, she pointed at the desk that was filled with documents. Of course, there was also coffee that had been cooked and she looked like she was going to fight to the end.
"It's really rare for a girl to work so hard to reach your level. " Su Huai walked towards her.
When Lin Jia saw this scene, she inexplicably thought of that hug in the meeting room. Perhaps it wasn't some sort of hug, but a method used to achieve her goal. It was just that she still felt that her brain was a ball of mush.
"I have no reason not to fight. " She heard her own answer.
"Lacking money? Lack of security? Lack of recognition?" When Su Huai arrived by her side, he was unbridled when there was no one around. His slender fingers lightly slid past her eyes and drew a circle lightly. "No matter what you lack, you've made yourself into a ghost. Lin Jia, you must be tired. "
She closed her eyes and restrained the ripples that quietly arose in her heart.
With a wave of her hand, she pushed his hand away and rejected those unknown concerns.
"What business do you have here? Do you need my help? Or do you want to know something? Just say it. Just like in the past, if you can help me, you'll do your best. If you can't, don't make things difficult for me. "
Hearing this expected answer, Su Huai suddenly laughed in a low voice.
She looked at him as if she was looking at a madman.
But he grabbed her arm: "Let's go. I'll take you out for dinner. "
"I'm not going. I still have to work overtime. " Lin Jia refused in annoyance.
Unfortunately, she did not have as much strength as him and was dragged away. "You only have the strength to come back and work overtime after eating. You will never be able to finish your work, but you may collapse at any time. "
"Which eye of yours will collapse when it sees me?" Lin Jia was anxious.
"I can see both eyes. Lin Jia, you should really go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. Even a thick layer of powder could not stop your ugly face. You are not even thirty yet. Don't make yourself look like a pitiful and resentful woman. " He reached out and rubbed her hair, as if he was treating an awkward little girl.
Lin Jia wanted to hide and block it, but unfortunately, it was impossible.
Her neat hair that was originally meticulously combed turned into a ridiculous bun. She was pressed by Su Huai to the desk and locked the necessary documents. Then, she was half-forced to take the elevator and went down.
She pursed her lips and did not speak.
He stood by her side and seemed to be lost in thought.
Just like that, the elevator reached the lobby on the first floor and slowly opened.
Lin Jia was just about to walk out when Su Huai grabbed her arm, "We're going to the parking lot. "
Lin Jia:???
"Follow me. " Su Huai said softly.
