My Terrible Life in Those Years

I cursed inwardly; this was the last straw!

In the flash of lightning, I couldn't help but think of that girl, Du Yan.

I think she was like a moth drawn to the flame of love.

But because this project involved Wan Ning, I got caught up in this web.

It made me feel restricted and constrained, completely unlike my usual carefree self.

Does this sound like a word?

Does he look like a real man?

The fog that had shrouded us all day finally gave way to a reason.

I was so anxious and worried that I made myself feel like I was walking on thin ice and standing on the edge of an abyss all day!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Faced with his direct question, I paused for a moment, then quickly prepared my response: "They're misunderstanding? No way, they were just joking with me! I was so drunk I almost passed out. They're big clients, so it's okay for them to joke around. Manager Wu, this doesn't count as a work mistake, does it?"

I took the opportunity to ask a question in return.

Wu Bo didn't expect me to say that. I just brushed it off with a joke.

His gaze sharpened.

He had a smile on his face, thinking he could suddenly stab me in the back and take the opportunity to find out more about me, but I used this joke to deflect his anger.

He probably didn't expect that I, a temporary worker who had only been with the company for a few days, would have such adaptability.

So, a slightly smug smile was mixed with an awkward laugh.

I watched his next move with a calm expression.

I believe that after investigating me, he will definitely have other plans.

He also wanted to find out from me the true nature of my relationship with Aunt Shu.

Definitely. Otherwise, how could Aunt Shu feel at ease placing someone like me, a needle in a haystack, in his sales department without understanding my situation?

I suddenly realized that Aunt Shu is really something else; she just casually put a newbie into her sales department and made her nervous!

"Hey, it was just a joke. I thought you and President Shu were playing a game of teamwork. Since it was a joke, how can it be considered a work mistake? No wonder President Shu included you and added your name to this deal. You really have potential!"

I made up my mind not to say anything reckless and to wait for him to make his move.

"It's all thanks to President Shu's kindness!" I said succinctly.

"Hmm, Mr. Shu appreciates talent. So, Mr. Shu has known you for a long time?"

He started looking at me intently.

I feigned panic and quickly clarified, "No, no, that's not true. How could I possibly know President Shu before? With President Shu's status and level, how could I possibly know her!"

Wu Bo's eyes lit up, as if he had caught my tail.

Whether it was the fluctuation in my tone or something I just said that revealed a message, I have no idea.

In short, after I lost my anxiety about gains and losses, I felt that things weren't so bad after all.

"Xiao Jiang, because it was President Shu who personally interviewed and recruited you, I wasn't very familiar with you. I almost missed out on such a promising young man like you."

I was speechless for a moment. What did this mean? Was this deliberate attempt to be friendly to me?

"Manager Wu, you're too kind. I'm new here and there's so much I need to learn. Please take good care of me in the future!"

My mind was clear, and I could speak fluently again.

Sure enough, his face lit up, and you could tell from the way he tapped his fingers on the table that he was quite satisfied with my attitude and response.

"Good, that makes things easier. From now on, unless there are any special requests from President Shu, don't bother her anymore. If you have any problems, just come to me. I'll take you with me from now on!"

As he finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on my face, waiting for my reaction.

I was overjoyed again and quickly looked up: "Manager Wu, I'd be more than happy to have you take me on. From now on, just let me know if you need anything!"

I quickly gave my opinion! At this point, did I have a better choice?

Of course not. Whether it's Aunt Shu wanting to keep me firmly in the sales department, or from my own learning and growth perspective, there's no other way but to get close to her, get to know her, get to know the work and projects, acquire more information, and quickly establish myself.

As for what other actions Aunt Shu might take later, and whether I could play a role, that's another story.

"Let's go home after work. Later, when we have time, let's have dinner together!" Wu Bo finally made the decision.

I laughed and agreed. Anyway, it was definitely not my treat, so why not take advantage of the opportunity?

But as soon as I got off work, on my way home, I started thinking again about how I should face Wan Ning.

On the bus, I sent a short message to Aunt Shu.

"Manager Wu has reviewed my file and knows about General Manager Jiang's situation."

This time, she replied very quickly.

"What did you say?"

"you guess!"

Am I the kind of person who speaks the truth and answers every question honestly? Obviously not.

Why should you, a woman, dictate everything?

Sure enough, the phone rang immediately, with a series of 8s.

I waited for it to ring more than ten times before I answered.

"What are you being so mysterious about? Hurry up and tell me the details!" she snapped at him.

"President Shu, you specifically told me today that I couldn't report such detailed work to you directly, so why are you so anxious and upset?"

I spoke slowly and deliberately.

Is it only you, this petty woman, who takes every opportunity to mess with me, that I can't even vent my anger?

If I get another chance, watch out, watch out or I'll spank you!

Thinking about the allure of her buttocks, I felt a strange stirring in my heart!

Judging by its appearance, it should be very elastic!

She was both angry and amused.

"Hey you little brat, you're holding a grudge? Like a woman!"

This is completely different from her behavior during the day. I've basically gotten used to her multifaceted nature now.

"Tell me quickly, what was your answer?"

I dared not say anything more offensive: "I said everyone was just joking," and brushed it off!

She scoffed, "Not bad, kid. I didn't realize you were so quick-witted!"

"Of course I was quick-witted. He casually tried to win me over, and I immediately knew when to gravitate towards him."

She hesitated for a moment: "He tried to win you over?"

"That's right, she said she would personally guide me, unlike some people who use me and then discard me!" Seeing that her attitude was alright, I complained a little.

She chuckled softly twice: "What else did you say?"

"He seems to think I'm your informant, like I've known you for a long time. Even if he tries to win me over, he probably won't completely trust me. At least not now!"

I made my judgment based on my intuition!

"Okay, just do your job well. If you have any important information, let me know."

"Hey, Mr. Shu... Mr. Shu, someone's poaching your girlfriend, and you seem pretty happy about it?"

Damn, looking so relaxed, I almost blurted out "Aunt Shu" again.

"roll!"

"Also, Mr. Shu, Mr. Shu, this new street renovation is such a huge violation, are you really not going to do anything about it? This is completely unlike your style!" I casually teased her!

She didn't answer and hung up the phone immediately!
