"The pastries you gave were very nice, we ate it when my family got back home yesterday, and my Mom kept feeling guilty that she should not have said those things," Wu Lize said lowly.
Lu Man shook her head. The truth was that when Lu Man had heard Auntie Chai say those things yesterday, she did feel a bit angry.
In front of them, Auntie Chai was so warm-hearted and got along very well with Xia Qingwei.
Yet who knew that she would look down on them so much behind their backs, this made Lu Man dislike her a little.
Yet the help Auntie Chai had rendered Xia Qingwei was also very real, and Lu Man was grateful for that.
However, after thinking about that incident for the whole night, she was no longer that angry.
It was just that in the future, she probably could not treat Auntie Chai as naturally as she did before, and this was probably the same for Auntie Chai.
"It's really nothing," Lu Man pulled on her lip and smiled, standing up, "Manager Wu, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait!" Wu Lize quickly followed Lu Man and stood up. He did not bother to think more about it and grabbed Lu Man's wrist.
Lu Man still remembered that the office was facing a big glass window, and her colleagues outside could see everything clearly.
Although with the angle that she and Wu Lize had right now, the people outside might not be able to see that Wu Lize was grabbing her wrist, Lu Man still quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp.
Wu Lize also realized that he was being rude, "I'm sorry, it was just that I was too anxious."
"Manager Wu, this is the corporate office and there are many colleagues watching us. I don't want people to say things about us, and I believe that you also do not hope that that would happen," Lu Man kept her hands behind her back, "Yesterday, when I just heard what Auntie Chai said, I was indeed a bit angry, but after thinking it over for one night, I'm no longer angry. I also understand now, what Auntie Chai said was the truth of the situation, whether I like hearing it or not. Also, no matter what has happened, Auntie Chai had once helped my mother a lot, and I won't ignore all the help she has rendered till now just because of this incident."
"No, I wasn't referring to that," Wu Lize said awkwardly.
"Then what are you referring to?" Lu Man found it weird.
"My Mom misunderstood that I have feelings for you… I'm scared that you'll feel uncomfortable," Wu Lize was so awkward that he felt too ashamed to look at Lu Man.
Lu Man laughed, "If you didn't mention it today, I would have entirely forgotten about that incident. Manager Wu, please don't take it to heart. We're working in the same department and need to avoid arousing suspicion, I hope you understand."
In reality, Wu Lize wanted to say that he did not have that meaning and that his intention was not to tell her to not arouse suspicion, it was just that he wanted her not to misunderstand him.
But for some reason, he did not really want to say that.
Now, he already regretted bringing it up.
"Do you have anything else to talk to me about?"
"There's nothing else," Wu Lize felt that his heart was unsteadily beating fast. "You go do your work if you have anything you need in terms of work, feel free to mention it to me."
"Alright," Lu Man had just left the office when she saw her colleagues, who had been chatting away and whispering in each other ears, suddenly stop talking upon seeing her and then going off to do their own work.
Just as Lu Man returned to her seat, she saw Ye Xiaoxing walking over to her from behind, and when she was next to Lu Man's desk, she made a hmph sound, before continuing to walk forwards towards the exit.
"Xiaoxing, where are you going?" Xia Mengxuan asked. She was a colleague around the same age as Ye Xiaoxing and normally got along quite well with Ye Xiaoxing.
"I'm going to find my older sister," Ye Xiaoxing replied.
"Oh, then go quickly, ask if there's any insider information recently, and come back and tell us," As Xia Mengxuan said that, the rest of the colleagues nodded telling Ye Xiaoxing to quickly go.
Ye Xiaoxing pursed her lips, she just wanted to go find her cousin to chat, how would there be so much insider information.
The only reason why Ye Xiaoxing was so popular in the public relations department was that her older cousin was working in the CEO's secretarial department, and would be the first to know of any new information.
If it was of concern for the Public Relations Department, she would obviously reveal the information to them, so that their department could be ready for whatever happens.
Ye Xiaoxing's face was black the whole way to the CEO's secretarial department.
"Why did you come by? Oh dear, your face is so black, who angered you?" Ye Xuanxuan asked upon seeing her sister.
"Today, a b*tch came to our department, "Ye Xiaoxing was gritting her teeth in anger as if she were chewing on Lu Man at the moment.
"Be quieter, if the CEO hears what you said, I can't protect you," Ye Xuanxuan pulled on Ye Xiaoxing.
Thus, Ye Xiaoxing quickly shut up and nervously asked, "The CEO isn't here right?"
Ye Xuanxuan rolled her eyes, "He's in the office, but if he were outside and heard what you said, he'll probably fire you. I'm just a small secretary, I can't save you if that happens."
"Alright, I know," Ye Xiaoxing grunted and rubbed her chest in relief, "Thank goodness he's not here."
"What exactly happened?" Ye Xuanxuan asked her, taking out a box of chips from her drawer. As long as the leader did not see, secretly eating some snacks was no problem.
Ye Xiaoxing pressed on a chip, ruthlessly taking a bite, "Our department got a new employee today."
"I know, she's called Lu Man right? That day her father came to make trouble before she had even officially started working, she already became famous in the company. Now, there are not many people who don't know her," Ye Xuanxuan also took a chip to eat.
"That's her," Ye Xiaoxing's mouth twitched, "She has a big appetite, she just came today, but she already dared to seduce our manager."
"Is that true? How talented!" When the rest of the office heard what Ye Xiaoxing said, they quickly surrounded her.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how can it not be true? She has no shame, I don't know what tricks she used, but Manager Wu was holding her wrist. We're still at the workplace, and it's even the same department, is she worried that people won't know how strong her charm is?" Ye Xiaoxing gave a 'pooh' sound, "Such a shameless thing."
"She's so brave?" the colleagues exclaimed in shock, "Regarding Manager Wu, don't you… like that? How did Manager Wu look at her?"
"Manager Wu liking her? What a joke!" Ye Xiaoxing acted as if someone had stepped on her painful foot.
When Zheng Tianming had heard enough, he entered Han Zhuoli's office.
"How was Lu Man's first day at work?" Han Zhuoli raised his head and asked.
"She seems to have been ostracized by her colleagues, mainly due to what Lu Qiyuan did that day," Zheng Tianming said, "Besides that, the Manager Wu from the Public Relations Department seem to be old acquaintances with Lu Man, their relationship seems quite good."
After Zheng Tianming carefully observing Han Zhuoli's expression, he continued, "Lu Man was in his office, and it seemed like they even… held hands…"
"Pa!" Han Zhuoli suddenly hit his fountain pen onto his documents with a loud sound, "Call her to come here right
"Who?" Zheng Tianming was not sure whether Han Zhuoli wanted to call Lu Man up or call Wu Lize up to give him a lesson.
"Of course call Lu Man!" Han Zhuoli said angrily, what would he call Wu Lize for!
"But you have a meeting right after this, it's a meeting that has been set at 10 o'clock, it'll begin in two minutes," Zheng Tianming looked at his watch, and reminded Han Zhuoli.
"Then call her up here first, and have her wait here!" Han Zhuoli stood up angrily, "I made sure she kept her job, yet she doesn't come to thank me, and even dares to go and hold some other guy's hand?"
He just knew, this girl was a heartless one!
When he was not in front of her for her to see, she totally put him at the back of her mind and forgot about him!
"Alright," Zheng Tianming walked out of the door.
"Wait," Han Zhuoli called him again, "Didn't Wu Lize hand in a request, to have Lu Man be in charge of Du Lin publicity campaign? Go and tell Wu Lize that I have agreed and let this be a test for Lu Man, if she does well, then just make her an official employee, there's no need to go through the trial period."
