Chapter 17 Old Fox and Tea Room Gossip

Halo Tea Room's latest report is that Director Yu's air pressure has been extremely low recently. Please do not approach him unless necessary. Everyone couldn't help but gasped after hearing this gossip. A breath of cool air. The tea room after lunch is always crowded with people making coffee and eating snacks, but the most people gather around to talk about the latest gossip. "Let me tell you, yesterday the design department. That Cindy went to find Director Yu to sign, but he grabbed her and asked her for more than half an hour. When she came out, her face was pale. "As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood became as frantic as a chicken blood shot. Everyone was talking and the discussion was very lively. "Huh? What did Director Yu ask her? Could it be that our tea room gossip was exposed? "She was actually able to chat with Director Yu for half an hour, which is quite impressive.""What should I do? I also have documents that I need to go to Director Yu to sign. I don't dare to go even if you say so." " Chi Xia listened to her colleague's rather exaggerated tone, silently opened a pack of snacks, hid aside and ate secretly. For lunch, she ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles out of curiosity, but after only two bites, she was so spicy that she burst into tears. To be honest, her stomach was empty now, so two more bags of potato chips wouldn't be a problem. Compared with her, Su Yinuan seemed to be much more positive about this topic, and she said loudly, "I am." I heard that not only Cindy, but also many people were called in by Director Yu to talk! "At this time, the originally lively and peaceful atmosphere suddenly became weird. Colleagues, you look at me and I look at you, with a rather solemn expression on their faces. Until one person finally spoke anxiously: "Our company , could it be that T is going to lay off employees? " Chi Xia's heart sank. Although there were rumors before that the industry was not doing well recently and many companies were laying off employees, no one took it seriously. After all, koi had just been launched, and everyone was immersed in the joy of increasing sales month by month. , how could she think about these unlucky things? But after mentioning it today, combined with Yu Ningze's unusual behavior of finding someone to talk to, she couldn't help but think about it in her mind. If there are really going to be layoffs, will it be my turn? Although I am usually diligent and never arrive late or leave early, I don't seem to have any special achievements. Compared with laying off those old employees who have worked for many years, it seems that she will be laid off. It's more cost-effective to recruit a new person. Besides, she also has another fatal injury - openly provoking Yu Ningze at the conference. To sum up, Chi Xia feels like she is at the top of the layoff list. The snacks in her hands no longer tasted good, the gossip in the tea room was no longer interesting, and even the air around her became a little thin. At this time, Su Yinuan broke the atmosphere like a frozen river in early spring and said. : "No way, I didn't hear the news, I don't think it's a big deal. "Other colleagues seemed to be as anxious as Chi Xia and expressed their own concerns. "Don't lay off me, otherwise the rent for the next quarter will not be paid. "I hurriedly went to the Chenghuang Temple to worship after get off work. It was so scary." " Su Yinuan shook her head helplessly: "As for you, isn't it just a conversation? Maybe it's just routine work. " But this statement that seemed to stabilize military morale was immediately refuted from all sides. "When did you see Director Yu talking to someone? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. "That's right, there is a higher chance that Mr. Ye will find someone to talk to." " Chi Xia, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but join in the fight, and said quietly: "Yes, what kind of kindness can that old fox have? "After saying that, her hand that was about to reach for the snack packaging bag hung in the air. At a certain moment, she felt countless eyes falling on her, like arrows stuck in the scarecrow, densely packed. Chi Xia Ti At first, the colleagues in front of me still had the same familiar faces, but they all had extremely unnatural smiles. "What's wrong with you?" She couldn't help but ask: "Are you scared?" " Looking left and right, Chi Xia unexpectedly discovered that her colleagues were all looking in the same direction. There was even a kind colleague who was winking at her and beckoning her to turn her head. So, sitting with her back facing Chi Xia, who was standing at the door of the tea room, turned around suddenly and met Yu Ningze's eyes as cold as ice. He was leaning against the door, and at first glance he looked like a model taking a photo of a magazine cover. As an employee, she wouldn't have known that Yu Ningze's perfect appearance, like a work of art, hid an evil heart. The moment they saw his appearance, her colleagues fled. Chi Xia got in among them and tried to escape, but was about to escape. As I stepped out of the door, I heard a low cry from behind, "Stop. "Although he didn't name him, Chi Xia stopped like a Sun Wukong who was cursed. She turned around slowly, and the picture looked like a cartoon with dropped frames, "Director Yu, you call me. ? "Director Yu?" He sneered: "Isn't he an old fox?" " Chi Xia closed her eyes in despair. She thought that if it calculated her own horoscope and Yu Ningze's horoscope, she would find that the two of them must have had a bad relationship in their previous lives. Otherwise, how could it be like this in this life? Conflict? Yu Ningze came early and late, but he came at the moment when he said "old fox". Now, Chi Xia could almost predict that he would be fired for stepping into the company with his left foot at work tomorrow. Scene. The gag trick has been used before. Chi Xia turned her head and came up with another trick. She stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Has Director Yu had lunch?" Why do you have Yazhi to come to the tea room today? "This move is called changing the topic. Although it is risky, the chance of winning is high. Yu Ningze shrugged: "If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that I would have such an image in the minds of my colleagues. "Failed. She raised her head, and seemed to see the depression on his face as if it was shrouded in a cloud for a moment, but the next second, it disappeared without a trace. But no matter what, it was impossible to fetch someone else's money behind his back. The nickname was indeed her fault, Chi Xia, who bowed her head when she should. Chi Xia immediately knelt down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Director Yu, you have a lot of money, please don't argue with a villain like me. " While speaking, she secretly raised her eyes to observe Yu Ningze's expression, trying to figure out on his face how long her career could last. But his expression was as usual, without any change. Time passed by minute by minute. Although only half a minute had passed, Chi Xia felt that a century had passed. The window in the tea room was open a small gap, and every gust of wind that blew over evaporated her cold sweat. Fortunately, Yu Ningze let her go as if her conscience had discovered her. He raised his chin and issued a pardon token towards Chi Xia. After receiving the news, Chi Xia immediately lowered his head and turned around silently, trying to leave the silent battlefield as quickly as possible. But before she could take a step forward, the voice from behind once again broke down the defense she had re-established. "Wait a minute." Yu Ningze's voice came from far away and finally settled in Chi Xia's ears: "I have a question to ask you." Chi Xia turned around and met Yu Ningze staring at him. eyes. The distance between the two of them was only a punch, and they seemed to be able to feel the air flowing between them as they breathed and breathed. She suddenly had a bad feeling, and the topic of "layoffs" in the tea room came to her mind again. Sure enough, is it still my turn? Many complicated thoughts flashed through her mind, but Chi Xia remained determined. Even if she left Halo, she would never return to the place where she was born. People always say that fallen leaves return to their roots, and it seems that they always have different feelings and obsessions for their hometown. But she was still too young to experience such feelings. She only felt that if this stick penetrated too deep, one day it would tie her wings and strangle her throat. So even if she rolled in the quagmire of City A and became unrecognizable, it would be better than being a caged bird without wings. While thinking, Yu Ningze's next words came quietly: "Has anyone in your department ever used koi?" "Yes..." After answering subconsciously, Chi Xia tilted his head and his brain shut down instantly. Does this silly question have any other meaning? Perhaps due to stereotypes, she always felt that every action of Yu Ningze was not as simple as it seemed. So to be cautious, she asked tentatively: "Are Director Yu looking for me to gossip?" Yu Ningze only responded lightly: "Just take it as such." This time Chi Xia couldn't be fooled. She began to secretly figure out Yu Ningze's intentions. On the one hand, she felt that as the R&D director, he might want to know how his colleagues felt about using the app, which was an internal survey; on the other hand, she felt that he was secretly investigating something, but he had no clue about it. clue. So she had to be vague: "A lot of people are using it. After all, everyone has social needs." Yu Ningze asked again: "What about you?" "Me?" Chi Xia started brainstorming again. If she says she has never played it, will he mistakenly think that she does not care about the project she is working on and has no ambition to make progress? "I've been playing for a while." Chi Xia thought this was a perfect answer, but when she raised her head, she saw Yu Ningze's frown. His expression was serious, just like the way she scratched her head and scratched her head when she couldn't solve the last big math question in the final exam of junior high school. She felt that if she continued to confront him, no matter how many brain cells she had, it wouldn't be enough. So Chi Xia used the last of the thirty-six strategies and said with a dry smile: "Director Yu, if there is nothing else, I will go back and write the plan first." There will be a project seminar at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. I heard that Even intern Ye Xi had already turned it in, but he changed it one version after another, still unsure. After saying that, without waiting for Yu Ningze to reply, Chi Xia turned around and left. Vaguely, she heard the last words he left for her: "Send it to my mailbox before ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
