Age of Legends

Chapter 45 Shooting
Huang Huifen was late for work because she prepared breakfast for Zhang Chen. When she entered the corridor where the office was located, she heard several female voices from afar.

"Huang Huifen hasn't come yet... Isn't she usually the most active?"

"Every time we do a big inventory, why does she do that? Really... She has to be so strict, and if the goods don't match, we have to do it all over again... Doesn't she know how much people hate her?"

"Does she think that the boss values her for doing this? You must be overthinking. I heard that Zhang Zhonghua was transferred because he failed to keep up with the new company's pioneering pace. Haha, what's the point of doing so much? Don't you know how many people secretly used their connections to pass on messages to the higher-ups before the transfer? With her husband's temper and her temper, it's easy to offend people. It would be strange if the boss would value her family!"

When Huang Huifen walked to the door, she stopped and seemed to be rooted there.

No matter how impetuous she was, she didn't have the urge to go in and confront the people inside at this moment.

I remember the people who were talking were Sister Li, Sister Chen, and Xiao Zhong, who joined the company last year and whom I usually took good care of.

Normally everyone gets along well with each other, and Huang Huifen also thought that was the case. Even when she sometimes acted impartially, they would come back and say that she did a good job.

Sister Li, who just said that she was "disliked by others", remembered that she had specifically told herself last time: "You are an upright person."

But I didn't expect that I would be criticized like this behind my back.

It turns out that I worked hard and did the things that my boss asked me to do, but in the end, I was the one who was least liked. It turns out that working hard can't get me ahead, and Zhang Zhonghua can't get a job transfer. Only by moving around behind the scenes and building relationships with the boss can you get a job transfer into a promising new company.

But if everything depends on connections, then how can the new company, which is originally established to divest the old business, improve its combat effectiveness?

For the first time, she felt that it was not worth staying in this unit.

All along, I thought I wasn't working hard enough. But it turns out that I was simply out of place.

"Hey, Sister Li, congratulations! Your husband got a job in a new company this time. His position is not low! Your son is also very hardworking. He did well in the exam for No. 20 Middle School. Your son is also in the top ten in the class...Unlike the Huang family, although her son is in Yude, for a school like Yude, if you are at the bottom of the class, you might as well drop out directly. It's very painful!"

The person who spoke was the young Zhong, Zhong Xuanxuan.

Li Jieyun felt very comfortable being flattered. She looked around the office and said with satisfaction, "My son did a good job this time and got sixth place in the exam!"

"Oh, Xiao Ding is good!" Chen Juan, who is usually called "Sister Chen", praised him generously, "You are sixth in the class, not bad, excellent, can you get into a top university?"

Li Jieyun smiled and said, "550 is the first-tier score, and he is 560. If he keeps it up, he will be able to get a first-tier score next year!"

"Huo!"

Li Jieyun added, "I told him yesterday that if you still have to pass the first-tier line by ten points in the college entrance examination, don't think about applying to the University of Finance and Economics or Jiaotong University, which are several dozen points higher than the first-tier line. It's still okay to go to Agricultural University, University of Science and Technology, or Normal University, which are just above the first-tier line!"

The other two people in the office were really envious. The college entrance examination will only expand enrollment this year, and the value of a first-tier university is still very high these days. The children of Nanguang Company basically have poor academic performance. There are hundreds of children in the entire company, and only a few have outstanding academic performance. Most of them are not good. Some even go directly to vocational schools and fight every day, but that is the West District.

The situation in the East District was better, with not many misguided children. But poor academic performance was common, and among dozens of peers, few were outstanding. Two years ago, the general manager's daughter was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University, and became a role model known to everyone in Nan Guang Company. The general manager has now retired, although he was dismissed for corruption, but now he is very arrogant wherever he goes, with an attitude that the family is expected to revive, and he does not feel guilty at all.

Apart from these, there are basically no outstanding ones. Li Jieyun's son Ding Junjie is the backbone among these children. He can be said to be one of the generals under the marshal. These generals are among the few with good grades. Their grades are basically the same as those of Secretary Wang's daughter Zheng Xue, both of whom are qualified to enter the first-tier line.

What does it mean to be able to get into a first-tier university? According to relevant statistics, the number of college entrance examination candidates in recent years is about 300 million. Before the expansion of enrollment, only 40% of the candidates were admitted to undergraduate programs, that is, 120 million candidates could study for undergraduate programs, and the admission rate to first-tier universities was only one-ninth of the number of candidates. That is, out of nine candidates who took the college entrance examination, four could get into undergraduate programs, and only one could get into a first-tier university.

A one-ninth ratio is rare in NanGuang Company, isn’t it?
Moreover, at this time, a student from a first-tier university comes out, which is a golden boy. Every unit will be scrambling to get him. Li Jieyun should be very proud!

Huang Huifen walked in. Suddenly, the office was bustling again.

"Hey, Sister Huang is here!"

"Why are you so late today? You are usually so active!"

"You haven't come yet, so we haven't changed the water. You usually help us with that... Thank you!"

Huang Huifen looked at these colleagues who changed their enthusiasm quickly, and her face was tense and expressionless. If she was an office veteran like them, a king of workplace emotional intelligence, she would probably chat and laugh with them right now, and she would not take what happened just now to heart, and even find an appropriate opportunity to retaliate against them.

But she's not.

She is just Huang Huifen, a person who is impetuous and can't hide anything.

Her face was very stiff.

This group of people also saw it immediately and roughly guessed what was going on.

But based on their judgment of Huang Huifen's personality and their experience, they immediately started talking and laughing with each other, ignoring Huang Huifen. As long as they had woven a lively interpersonal network and a seemingly harmonious circle, they believed that Huang Huifen would not dare to tear it apart or get angry, even with her personality, she could only hold it in.

Because that's who she is.

Yes.

They had guessed Huang Huifen very accurately.

Huang Huifen was filled with anger, but she had no way to break through the iron wall formed by the three people.

She just sat in her seat with a stern face and started looking at the report, but after holding it in for a moment, she suddenly spoke stiffly.

"Li Jieyun, how much did your son score?"

Li Jieyun then looked at her with pride on her face, "560, their class almost ranked fifth! Oh, I said he wasn't careful, he came back and told me he didn't do a question well, and he started crying, I told him it's okay, try harder next time and try for a higher score! Oh, by the way. How many points did your Zhang Chen get in the exam? Did he do well?"

In fact, everyone in the office knew that Zhang Chen ranked last in the class and Yude ranked last in the grade, and everyone tacitly didn't mention the scores. But Li Jieyun felt that Huang Huifen was asking for trouble this time, so she let her son give her a gorgeous blow!
Huang Huifen only had one force at this time, she had a weapon, her weapon was not Zhang Zhonghua who failed to enter the new company with unlimited prospects, but Zhang Chen who was once considered by everyone to be the black hole of their family and the future dependent on their parents.

Now, his son is her weapon and her strongest support against these rumors.

So Huang Huifen looked up and said with an expression that she thought was even more charming than when she was young, "The test results are... not bad. That's 579 points. Ding Ding is sixth in their class! Alas, Zhang Chen is not so good, he only ranked 22nd in their class. If Yude is ranked in the whole school, he is only 256th this time."

"I've already told him to work hard this time. Keep up the good work and strive to get into Tsinghua or Peking University in the future!"

When Huang Huifen said this, she was gritting her teeth, wishing she could turn these into bullets and shoot them.

Then the office was silent for a few seconds.

Several women said in unison, "Ah... so many!?"
