I'm in love

The morning sun shone through the curtains and gently fell on the old man's face, awakening his sleeping consciousness. Lin Yan hurried to the bed and helped the old man up, and asked gently: "Grandpa, how do you feel? Please make sure to eat well, don't be angry, I have a boyfriend I love deeply." The old man heard his granddaughter's concern and showed a happy smile on his face. He said happily: "Okay, when can I meet your boyfriend?" Lin Yan lowered her head shyly and replied softly: "It will take some time." The two talked and laughed by the bed for a long time until late at night. Lin Yan drove back to Ode to Joy and fell asleep after taking a bath.

The next morning, when Qiu Yingying entered the company, she unexpectedly saw Manager Bai standing at the front desk, and she was flustered. Their eyes met instantly, and Manager Bai gave her a chilling look. Qiu Yingying returned to her office in a sullen mood. After Manager Bai turned and left, she returned to work, occasionally secretly glancing at Manager Bai talking to other female colleagues, but Manager Bai quickly closed the curtains of the office, preventing Qiu Yingying from peeking, so she had to let go of her worries, thinking she had escaped. However, her boss asked her to handle the expense report, which forced Qiu Yingying to face Manager Bai again, because Manager Bai was in charge of the company's financial affairs.

Qiu Yingying walked into Manager Bai's office and learned that Manager Bai was not there at the moment. Her colleague suggested that she leave the expense report and leave. She politely thanked him and returned to her seat. After Manager Bai returned to the office, he deliberately delayed processing Qiu Yingying's expense report and accused her of filling out the expense report incorrectly, asking her colleague to make a new one. The colleague took the expense report with a confused look on his face and could only helplessly answer, "Okay." Manager Bai then instructed, "If anyone comes to see me this afternoon, tell him that I'm at the factory."

Qiu Yingying was furious when she learned that Manager Bai had deliberately delayed processing the expense report and avoided seeing her. She complained loudly in the group chat. However, she was caught by her boss at this time and was severely reprimanded, which caused a commotion in the company. Qiu Yingying walked to Manager Bai's office and shouted righteously: "Mr. Bai, come out! If you hide from me, you will bear the consequences!"

Qiu Yingying hurried into the manager's office, opened the door gently, and changed the subject in a loud voice: "Dear manager, I came here today to expose the behavior of Manager Bai, who tried to seek personal gain in the name of hypocrisy, retaliate against me in the so-called duties, and refused my expense reimbursement for no reason. What's even more ridiculous is that he pretended to pursue me, and after I rejected him, he destroyed the company's computer with despicable means, and even claimed that it was done by my friend!" Qiu Yingying recounted Manager Bai's treacherous behavior one by one, and her words were sonorous and powerful, like thunder and lightning, and the whole company knew about it. In the end, Manager Bai was dismissed for misconduct, but Qiu Yingying was suspended. This unexpected move made her quite puzzled, why did exposing corruption lead to such a result.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Qiu Yingying left the manager's office and returned to Ode to Joy heartbroken. She hurriedly called her friend and told her what happened. Lin Yan answered the phone and expressed endless sympathy in her words: "So that's what happened. Afterwards, the human resources manager summoned you, suspended you for no reason, and took back your door card." The situation became more and more confusing, like a puzzle, pushing Qiu Yingying into a dilemma.

Qiu Yingying's voice was a little confused, like a lone star that had lost its way in the night sky: "What does all this mean?" She sighed softly, "I have already reported Manager Bai to the company, and he was fired for this. Why did you suspend me from my job?" Andy said knowingly, "Although Manager Bai has been fired, for you, this seems to be another implicit dismissal." Qiu Yingying couldn't help feeling confused.

Lin Yan gently interrupted, "Maybe Andy is just speculating. Maybe you can go back and ask Fan Shengmei. As a veteran in human resources, she may know the inside story." At this time, Fan Shengmei was accompanying Wang Baichuan to gradually explore the secrets within the company and engage in a battle of wits with the intermediary.

"Hello." A steady and powerful voice came from Fan Shengmei's end. Qiu Yingying said softly, "Sister Fan, this is Yingying. I'm having some troubles. I hope you can help me solve them." Fan Shengmei said anxiously, "I'm a little busy now. Let's talk about it when I get back." Qiu Yingying could only nod silently, and then she heard Fan Shengmei admonishing her on the other end of the phone, "You can ask Andy and Yanyan about the work. I'm hanging up now. We'll talk more later." After that, Fan Shengmei plunged into the confrontation with the agent again.

Qiu Yingying asked Andy and Lin Yan anxiously, and Lin Yan gently persuaded: "Yingying, don't worry. We will talk about it in detail when we come back later. Go relax and eat something first. I have a dinner party here, so let's talk about it later." As soon as Lin Yan finished speaking, she left in a hurry, and Andy was also entangled in urgent matters...

Night falls

Everyone sat together and comforted Qiu Yingying.

Fan Shengmei said calmly: "Perhaps we all underestimated Manager Bai."

Qiu Yingying asked doubtfully, "Andy said that this was a secret attempt to fire me, Sister Fan, is this true?" Fan Shengmei motioned Qiu Yingying to tell her what happened today in detail, and after thinking carefully, she said calmly, "Yingying, this matter is not good for you."

Guan Juer said with concern: "Yingying, didn't you say that you get along well with your colleagues? Is there no one who can plead for you?"

Lin Yan calmly analyzed: "Relationships between colleagues are often just for the convenience of work. When faced with such an important matter, these relationships are no longer useful."

Andy also said: "In this matter, seeking charity from others may be futile."

Qu Xiaoxiao sighed softly and said, "Most people in this world only care about themselves and laugh at others' jokes. How can they help others? As for Qiu Yingying's affairs, we outsiders really cannot interfere."

Lin Yan raised her eyes and said softly, "Yingying, if I were in that situation, I would not be able to do anything. I also want to mention that Xiao Qiu's boss is scheming. In this world, no one's bottom line is pure and flawless. Everyone has a little handle, and no one can be absolutely innocent. The most taboo thing for people in the underworld is those who don't know the rules."

Fan Shengmei said disdainfully: "Xiao Qiu, you are the one who doesn't know the rules. The second rule of the underworld is that the most despicable thing about bad people is that the people around them are full of nonsense. When you expose the shortcomings of a scumbag in public, will your boss continue to trust you?"

She continued: "As soon as you are no longer needed, your suspension will be instantly converted into dismissal for the simple reason of being accused of harboring a criminal, and you will then have no place to stand."

"So, Yingying, maybe you should consider changing your job." There was a hint of unquestionableness in Fan Shengmei's tone.

Amid the conversation, Qiu Yingying broke down again, tears streaming down her face. After everyone consoled her for a while, Qiu Yingying left sadly and headed back home.
