My Terrible Life in Those Years

When I arrived at the Second Department office, I saw Wu Bo sitting listlessly in his seat, staring blankly at the black screen of his computer. Only Sister Guan was busy helping him pack his things.

I gently knocked on the open door.

"Sister Guan, Manager Wu?"

I greeted them with a smile.

Wu Bo glanced at me blankly, then turned away with a dark expression, ignoring me.

I can totally understand that. Anyone who causes so much trouble and has such serious consequences in just a few days would not be willing to give me, a troublemaker who suddenly appears out of nowhere, a friendly face!

Sister Guan turned around, saw it was me, and was surprised.

He stopped what he was doing: "Oh, it's Xiao Jiang? Come in."

I stepped inside without any hesitation.

"I need to speak with Manager Wu about something, Sister Guan. Hope that won't bother you?"

Sister Guan is a typical woman from Guangzhou. Even if she knows that everything that has happened these past few days is related to me, she won't treat me coldly like Wu Bo did.

However, this does not prevent me from being more vigilant about her strength, ability, and cunning. She is a person who is gentle on the outside but ruthless on the inside!

This can be seen from his decisive action at the press conference to prevent Wu Bo from getting into even bigger trouble.

"It's alright, I'll get you a glass of water. You can talk to him and try to comfort him."

She said it with a smile, and was very polite. Although I couldn't tell how sincere she was, at least on the surface, it was an attitude that made her seem more acceptable.

I unceremoniously pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Wu Bo.

Wu Bo was startled and frowned, asking, "What's going on?"

I'm more than half a head taller than him, so I sat up straight and looked down at him.

"Last night, was it really you who hit me?" I pointed to my bandaged arm.

Wu Bo's expression changed drastically.

"You, you're talking nonsense, President Shu. That woman, Shu Mei, is deliberately trying to frame me. She's trying to kick me out of Sales Department One, she's trying to get rid of me from the company, that's why she's causing all this trouble. How could I do such a thing?"

Damn, anyone can see how blustering he is!

If your butt were that clean, would it be so easy to fix?

With Brother Liu above you and so many brothers in the sales department below you, it won't be easy for Aunt Shu to touch you unless you cause a few big incidents!

Don't you have any self-awareness?

I think it's necessary to scare him a little.

"Do you know that President Shu has another folder? Do you know what's inside?"

I smiled at him, a sense of control emanating from my face.

His expression immediately changed.

"What folder? What's in it? What does it have to do with me?"

I stared at him with amusement: "You might not know, but in that underground parking lot, opposite the elevator, there's a spot where they just installed a surveillance camera..."

Before I could finish speaking, Wu Bo nearly jumped up and knocked over a huge pile of documents on the table.

Hey, that's a great effect!

Her hand trembled as she pointed at me: "You, you're lying, I clearly saw it wasn't there..."

I rely on...

Is this okay?

I took out my phone and shook it at him.

"Well, thank you, Manager Wu. At least you admitted it yourself!"

His face turned ashen, and he tried to rush up and snatch my phone.

"You bastard, you dare to scheme against me???"

I stood up quickly and forcefully stopped him with one hand: "The person on the other end of the phone heard everything. And they recorded it too. Taking my phone won't change anything!"

I quickly put my phone away.

I'm ready to leave the office at any time. If I hadn't injured one of my hands, would I still be afraid of him?

However, even with only one hand, I can safely evacuate.

There's no need to get entangled with him. I'm a star employee, and he's an old man who's been relegated to a lower-class position. It's not worth it!

However, I also have to be wary of him; if he really gets angry, he might take extreme measures.

I have a bright future ahead of me, as for him, well, he can only hope for the best.

Actually, I didn't expect it either. I just casually tricked him, and he blurted it out on his own, looking completely bewildered.

Wu Bo's eyes twitched, preparing to pounce on me.

With his right hand, he picked up a glass.

I quickly moved back. Damn, this guy... is he really that desperate? If he breaks the cup and cuts me, I doubt it'll even qualify as a workplace injury!

"Old Wu?? What are you doing? Put it down!"

A sharp shout cooled down Wu Bo's furious rage.

Sister Guan came in carrying a disposable cup filled with water.

He quickly put down his cup, rushed over, stood between me and him, and then took the glass from his hand.

"What are you doing? Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

His tone was somewhat forceful, but Wu Bo immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, his tone cooling down and softening.

Wow, it's immediately clear who has the status and who is in a dominant position.

"Sit down and talk this out. Will taking action solve the problem?"

It's obvious that blaming him and taking action won't solve the problem; in fact, it will only complicate and worsen it. Otherwise, how could he have been beaten to death by Aunt Shu with a single blow?

"Xiao Jiang, please sit down too."

She remained standing between him and me, her tone neither too loud nor too soft, but with an air of authority that commanded respect.

I sat down. Now that safety wasn't an issue, it was normal to chat. Besides, my purpose wasn't to cause him any trouble.

The older woman had already given him trouble, and she had vented her anger quite a bit.

"Xiao Jiang, you didn't come to see him just to hear the truth, did you?"

Sister Guan turned to look at me with a faint smile on her face.

I thought to myself: This woman is amazing, no wonder she can sit in such a crucial position.

It was immediately clear that I hadn't come here to cause trouble.

"Manager Wu, don't worry about it. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble last night."

"Actually, even if I were to cause you trouble, it wouldn't be my problem. I was just accidentally hurt by you."

I said it casually.

"Not looking for trouble with me?? Then what are you doing here? Why did you try to frame me?" Wu Bo retorted indignantly.

His mind is in a complete mess right now; he's so caught up in this little thing that he can't get over it.

"If I really wanted to cause you trouble, I could have just handed it over to the police, like Mr. Shu said. Originally, Mr. Shu's idea was to handle this internally, but you don't seem too happy about it. Do you think I'm deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Wu Bo choked for a moment.

If he really gets into the limelight, he'll be lucky if he doesn't get skinned alive!

How can it be this comfortable, with a seat and a sense of security?

Sister Guan interjected, "So, what else do you want to see Lao Wu about? Just say it."

The eldest sister is different. You yourself said you wouldn't cause trouble, so let's just let it go. What else is there to say?

In other words, Wu Bo himself couldn't bring himself to do it.

"I wanted to ask Manager Wu, what did Xiancun Northwest Street look like before the renovation? And for the renovation of South Street, could you give me some suggestions?"

Wu Bo was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that I had actually come to him to learn about this job!
