Chapter 41 Making things difficult
The two laughing and joking at that moment had no idea that Luo Shuangshuang's words would actually become a crime.

After dropping her off at home, Su Ning locked the door, washed up, and went back to her room. As usual, she took a walk in Taoyuan Park, finished her chores, and went to bed early to rest.

……

The next day.

As dawn broke, wearing a plaid shirt with a wide collar, brown straight-leg trousers, and flat leather shoes, Su Ning tossed her braided hair behind her and pinned it with a flat, rhinestone hair clip.

I grabbed my small canvas bag and headed to the kitchen, where I took some shrimp dumplings from my storage space for breakfast.

With the chili sauce made by Aunt Li, she devoured all ten or so dumplings in no time.

Finally, I watered the flowers, plants, and fruit trees in the yard before putting my bag in the bike basket and pushing the bike out the gate.

The women's bicycle that Xiaotingzi rode back with was only recently purchased, and since there was space available, she naturally had to smuggle it over.

It only took twenty minutes to ride my bike to the textile factory. Accompanied by patriotic songs playing from loudspeakers, Suning, after parking his bike, entered the factory gate with the workers who were arriving one after another.

……

Led by the HR director, Su Ning arrived smoothly at the purchasing department director's office.

The head of the purchasing department was a capable and serious woman with short hair.

There were four other staff members, three men and one woman. The oldest of them looked to be only in his early twenties, and they were all quite young and full of vigor.

Liang Shengnan clapped her hands, gave a brief introduction and welcome speech, then casually pointed out an empty spot to be her desk, and told everyone to hurry up and finish this week's tasks before leaving in a hurry.

"Officer Su, welcome, welcome!"

"Thank you."

The one who broke the silence was Fu Jiaming, whom they had met just yesterday.

As soon as this friendly remark was made, the other men joined in, laughing and joking.

Looking at the pairs of hands, each a different color, that greeted him, Su Ning took a deep breath, returned the greetings with a smile, and bowed slightly in thanks.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly spread through the large office.

"scoff~"

As Tang Tian chuckled, the four men, including Fu Jiaming, simultaneously withdrew their claws.

Tang Tian, ​​with her delicate and pretty appearance, was the only beauty in their office.

Regardless of how much convenience they enjoyed, they were indeed taken care of by everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, because of this.

Now that a tall and exceptionally beautiful female colleague has joined the company, it's no wonder she's happy.

"Welcome, Officer Su."

Tang Tian stood up and slowly walked to the middle of the group, extending her hand to them. Half-jokingly and half-playfully, she asked, "I'm not like those stinky big men. Surely Director Su wouldn't look down on me too?"

Such obviously provocative words, even if spoken in a joking tone, are not hard to detect as full of malice.

Just as Fu Jiaming and the others were looking at each other, unsure how to smooth things over,

"I'm sorry, I'm just not used to interacting with strangers."

Su Ning's smile didn't fade; instead, it became even sweeter as she earnestly added, "Although your hands are short and small, they're quite clean, except for a little bit of black dirt under your fingernails."

"Pfft~"

With an apologetic gesture, Hu Yong, whose dark complexion had been the subject of Tang Tian's silent gossip about his short, stocky build and unattractive appearance, turned around and shrugged as he returned to his seat. He couldn't bear to argue with a woman.

What similar words! It's so damn satisfying!

Upon hearing her words, Tang Tian's face immediately fell, and her outstretched hand clenched into a fist.

"Ahem, everyone."

Clearing his throat with a laugh, Fu Jiaming patted the task list in his hand, cleverly changing the subject, "Everyone, take a look at the tasks and choose according to the usual procedure."

As is customary, this is determined based on the completion of the previous task. This is a principle that everyone in the purchasing department has always known and tacitly agreed to follow as a preferential treatment for the winner.

Since Su Ning was a newcomer and a woman, she naturally received the same care that Tang Tian had received before.

Before Fu Jiaming could finish speaking, Tang Tian snatched the task list from his hand with lightning speed.

"Brother Qin, you completed the last mission the fastest and best. You don't mind if I help with the allocation and selection this time, right?"

Qin Jianjun, a kind-hearted man, harbored feelings for Tang Tian and secretly hoped to date her.

Meeting her eyes that were constantly flashing at him, he couldn't help but clutch the hem of his clothes, blushing as he stammered, "I don't mind, I don't mind."

Tang Tian withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, giving Su Ning a provocative look that she thought was very subtle.

After quickly flipping through the task list, she indeed distributed the tasks to everyone as she had planned.

"Here, Su, this is yours. Do your best and I'm rooting for you!" Tang Tian smiled smugly as she handed her the last task list, then took her own copy and returned to her desk.

"It's quite interesting. You said you were helping Brother Qin pick something out for yourself, fine, but you're also helping us pick something out. How come something that even Director Liang didn't do has fallen on your shoulders?"

"Hu Yong, stop talking to me in such a sarcastic tone. If you have a problem with the task I chose, just say so!"

"Hehe, I actually do!"

"You! Even Brother Qin didn't say anything!"

"I can't control him, and you can't control me either."

Seeing that Hu Yong's temper was about to flare up, Fu Jiaming quickly grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't make a fuss, or we'll all be in trouble if we attract Director Liang's attention."

"Humph!"

Tang Tian let out a cold snort. If it weren't for Fu Jiaming...

She turned her head away, grabbed her order form, and stormed out the door in a huff.

"Hey Tian Tian, ​​wait for me!"

Qin Jianjun quickly packed his things, smiled apologetically at the others, and then left the office.

"What kind of mess is this!"

Hu Yong slammed the order form on the table, his face turning a deep, dark red.

"Alright, alright, you're a grown man, why are you arguing with a girl?"

In those few short minutes, Su Ning had a general idea of ​​who his future colleagues would be.

I don't even care about someone like Tang Tian, ​​who's way less sophisticated than Qian Huiru.

But it was Qin Jianjun, the one who went out to watch over the kind-hearted man, who made her…

"Officer Su? Su Ning?"

"Hmm? Is there something you need, Officer Fu?"

"You really don't recognize me?"

Fu Jiaming couldn't help but touch his face. Although he wasn't as handsome as his good friend Yan Bei, he was certainly not so unforgettable.

He pulled the chair behind him forward, getting closer to her table, and seeing the continued confusion in her eyes, he couldn't help but remind her, "Ning Baogai!"

This is the exclusive name for grapefruit. Suning frowned and suddenly remembered sharing a table at the state-run restaurant yesterday at noon.

But... is one of the two Fu Jiaming standing in front of us?
She never memorizes the faces of strangers, so she really couldn't remember.

"Don't tell me you don't remember the guy who was with me yesterday either?"

"Should I have a memory of this?"

"No, no, no, hahaha! No impression at all, no impression at all, hahahahaha!"

Suddenly bursting into manic laughter, unable to stop, Fu Jiaming wanted nothing more than to rush up to him, grab his collar, and yell: "Yan Qi, Yan Qi, you never thought you'd get the same treatment as me one day!"
Ever since the day they met when they were still kids, he seemed to automatically turn invisible because of Yan Qi's face.

From elderly women in their seventies and eighties to infants crying for milk, whenever Yan Qi appeared, they all forgot about him.

Don't let Yan Qi's aloof and arrogant appearance fool you; he's actually quite narcissistic.

It's so rare! Finally, someone has appeared who completely ignores his existence, and she's a female comrade who's just as good-looking!
This is something to be so happy about!
"I'm determined to be your friend! Let's get to know each other again as friends."

Fu Jiaming stood up, solemnly extending his hand, "Fu Jiaming, from Shanghai, twenty-two years old, single..."

"Stop!"

The more Su Ning listened, the more something seemed off, and she quickly took a step back: What's wrong with this person?

"Oh, right, you said you're not used to interacting with strangers. Well, I'll wait until we're more familiar with each other, then we can do this handshake again, a symbol of sincere friendship!"

"Suning, trust me, I am definitely the most trustworthy friend."

When he got excited, he pounded his chest with his fists, and then pinched his brow.

The polite, distant, yet courteous smile on her lips was almost impossible to maintain.

"By the way, what is your mission?"

"Purchase 100,000 jin of grain and 10,000 jin of fruit as employee benefits for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"what?!"
