My Terrible Life in Those Years

When I returned to my office, I was still thinking about what he had just asked me. This guy, asking about my school, did he think I really studied abroad?

That's really interesting.

Could it be that Manager Wu didn't tell him my secret? Or perhaps Manager Wu didn't know about General Manager Liu's child?

Or perhaps he also has doubts about my identity? That's interesting!

If that's the case, then his relationship with President Liu doesn't seem to be very close!

The problem then returns to this project.

Their involvement, in fact, pushes the issue forward.

I couldn't delay any longer, so I quickly returned to my seat, organized some documents, and immediately knocked on Aunt Shu's office door again!

Before she could ask any questions, I stood up and put the documents on her desk.

"Manager Shu, I feel it's necessary to report this matter in detail."

I know that for a low-level temporary worker like me to report to her, it's not enough to just be shameless.

So I took a bunch of documents and stood up, using my height to give myself a more imposing presence when I spoke.

After she just reminded me not to report my work directly to her, my doing this was clearly inappropriate.

She was looking down at the documents, holding a pen to sign them, and when she heard my tone, she seemed a little distracted.

This guy's getting bolder and bolder. I've explicitly told him not to report his work like this, and here he goes again?

Do you only remember the good times and not the bad times?

"Hey, you're just a temporary worker, can't you even recognize your place? When did I get demoted?"

what?

Oh, I just remembered, I always called her Manager Shu or something, but who in the company would dare call her that? Everyone calls her President Shu, okay?

"Oh, okay, I'll change that next time. Manager Shu!"

I'll change it immediately; that's not my style.

Unless you can help me resolve this matter, I might consider changing it immediately.

She gave me a sideways glance, a look that was a little helpless, a little annoyed, and a little amused.

The allure of the workplace!

My eyes and my heart skipped a beat at the same time.

"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening. Hurry up and tell me, I have a lot of things to do."

"Manager Wu added a renovation plan sketch to the proposal without authorization, a sketch that wasn't included in the planning contract. Manager Shu, are you aware of this?"

I emphasized the last sentence, because I had explained it in detail on the phone earlier.

She didn't stop working, nor did she look up again; she was still flipping through the documents at a very fast pace. I don't know how her eyes are so big and round, and she can see things so quickly! She can read ten lines at a glance!

"Manager Wu told me that he and the village committee are working on a plan. What's going on? Do you have any opinions?"

Holy crap, that guy is really that honest? He told Aunt Shu such an important thing in detail?

"But this draft wasn't in the original approved plan. Isn't this a violation? Won't my company be held responsible?"

"Not in the original approved plan? It's just two streets, adding a few more parking spaces, right? Why are you so nervous?"

I got anxious: "I'm talking about the planning for another street; they've already drafted a proposal, and this street isn't even included in that plan. This is illegal!"

She finally put down her pen: "What? What's it to you?"

I was completely speechless.

That woman hit the nail on the head. If it weren't for Wan Ning, it really wouldn't have anything to do with me.

Should I say yes? That's where my future girlfriend lives. Could it mean they'll lose their jobs? Or that we'll attract unwanted attention?

I feel like if I said that, this woman would just tell me to get out of the company!

"How can it be unrelated? It's extremely unrelated!"

I had prepared some words before I came, but I didn't expect her reaction; it was still the same.

She looked at me with interest, waiting for me to explain what the connection was.

"Think about it, this sketch was given to Cheng Juan, who then handed it to me. I then passed it on to Manager Wu, who used this sketch to develop the plan. If something goes wrong later, do you think I can wash my hands of the whole thing?"

I'm being unreasonable!

But I couldn't care less about that. I knocked on her door, partly to reiterate the importance of this matter.

Secondly, he hoped to get her guidance through this action.

Thirdly, he also wanted to see what this woman was really thinking.

She looked at me intently, trying to figure out what I was up to, but she clearly couldn't tell.

Before I came here, I had already planned that I must maintain the image of a novice from the very beginning, that I felt extremely uncomfortable when I encountered such a clearly irregular situation, and that I should immediately report the situation to my supervisor to show that I was only thinking about the company.

I felt guilty, but my body was perfectly upright! Straight as an arrow!

His eyes were fixed on her eyes and face!

I'm waiting for her reply, and any hints or suggestions she might give me about this.

But she didn't at all.

Because she picked up the internal phone and dialed a number.

"Manager Wu, could you please come here for a moment?"

Her tone was somewhat cold.

I was shocked. Holy crap, what is this woman up to?

Why did you call Wu Bo here?

What does that mean?

Are you going to tell Manager Wu everything I just said?

Should I flip the table? Isn't she betraying me?

But I can't seem to lift this big desk!

I stared at her, my eyes wide open.

Until Wu Bo quickly entered the office.

"Mr. Shu, is there something you need?"

"Hey Manager Wu, if I put Sales Department One in your hands, can you manage it well?"

She was very assertive and immediately gave me a hard time.

Wu Bo immediately put on a stern face, turned her head and glanced at me, her meaning clear: I must have snitched on her.

Otherwise, what reason could she have to get so angry?

I was furious. This woman, does she have to be so petty? Is she still retaliating?

"Um, Mr. Shu, has something happened?" Wu Bo asked cautiously.

She pointed at me with her long, thin finger and said, "Your little assistant here asks me about the smallest things. Doesn't she have any manners?"

Wu Bo's face immediately relaxed.

I was surprised too. This woman really knows how to stir up trouble!

"You, take this kid out of here. From now on, if he ever barges into my office again, I'll break his fingers. And you, Manager Wu, aren't you going to teach this unruly person a lesson? You know you have a responsibility as a leader, right?"

I became mute again and again, unable to utter a single word.

This woman, although she didn't mention that I complained about the blueprints, and didn't directly block me, her attitude suggests that she wants me to push the issue to Wu Bo.

"Also, Manager Wu, please give him more work to do, so he doesn't just sit around doing nothing anymore. It's driving me crazy!"

Just before we were about to leave, she suddenly added this sentence!

Huh? What does that mean? It's not just me doing external errands anymore?
