Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Chapter 23 After the Rumors
When the waiter saw that they were all here, he wanted to share the food. He immediately came up with a wink and asked, "Sister, what kind of pot do you want to eat? What kind of dishes do you want to order?"
"Oh, I, I want to eat three delicacies. What about you?" Xiaoling said first.
Yue Qing looked at Zhang Yuan.
"I prefer spicy food." Zhang Yuan said.
"What about you?" Yue Qing asked Qi Yilin.
"I can do either."
"Then I'll eat spicy food with Zhang Yuan. I'd like the Yuanyang Hot Pot, two flavors." Yue Qing said to the waiter.
"Okay, what do you want to order? Look at the menu here."
Everyone took turns ordering a few, and the waiter asked if there were any points to use. The three of them looked at each other, but there were none, and they didn't ask Qi Yilin at all. Then the waiter asked if there was anything else he needed help with, and then went to prepare it first.
As soon as the private room was quiet, Yue Qing suddenly found that it was a bit crowded. Although it was said to be a seat for 6 people, there was only Qi Yilin sitting opposite. There were three girls sitting together. Except for Xiaoling, who had a relatively standard figure, Yue Qing and Yuanzi were both She is thin, especially Yuanzi, who can already be said to be a little chubby. With the bags, coats and other things of three people, there are also a bunch of things on the table. Looking at the empty space over Qi Yilin, Yue Qing sighed in her heart. tone. "Yuanzi, let's change places. When the food comes later, it won't be easy to put things away."
Yuanzi seemed to understand all of a sudden, "Oh, you don't even look at me. Come on, sit across from me."
"So, I'm not right either, hurry up, Yue Qing, come over quickly." Xiaoling also said.
Yue Qing moved over and as soon as she sat down, she heard the two people opposite laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Yue Qing asked.
The two looked at each other, but neither responded.
"Hey, I said you two have a good understanding. It seems that we will be good friends in the future."
"That's right, it doesn't matter who the two of us are good friends." Zhang Yuan said.
"You guys have such a good relationship." Qi Yi interjected.
"Yes, if you want to know anything, it's absolutely right to ask the two of us. I'm sure she knows everything inside and out." Zhang Yuan covered her mouth and laughed.
"Yeah, I agree." Xiaoling echoed from the side.
"That's great. Your acquaintance must be a beautiful story."
"It was a poetic morning in a corridor of the school." Xiaoling said coquettishly.
"We are colleagues. We met at work. The main reason is that Yue Qing is a very nice person." Zhang Yuan also said.
"Okay, okay, don't betray me." Seeing that Qi Yilin was about to say something more, Yue Qing quickly interrupted.
"Mr. Qi, don't mind. Yue Qing is mainly shy." Zhang Yuan ignored her.
"Well, I'm relatively slow about certain things. Take your time." Xiaoling continued.
Qi Yilin laughed, "The two beauties know her well, and they are indeed best friends. It seems that I really came at the right time today. It is such an honor to meet these two beauties today."
"Hey, let's leave each other's contact information." Zhang Yuan heard this and said this in a hurry.
"Okay, this is my QR code. Just scan it, beauty." Qi Yilin quickly took out his mobile phone.
"Hey, I'm done with you guys." Yue Qing wanted to stop her.
Zhang Yuan quickly took out his phone and scanned it. "Yueqing, you're wrong, you're just adding a friend." After scanning, he put the phone on his chest, "Oh my god, I actually have such a big shot in my address book. I'm so excited."
Yue Qing looked at her helplessly, and Qi Yilin also smiled.
However, Xiaoling hesitated and scanned it. Fortunately, she was more reserved and did not embarrass Yue Qing.
Today's meal was really inappropriate, mainly because two bad friends were there. Yue Qing rolled her eyes when she saw the interaction between them, and just wanted these people to eat and go home quickly.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. When they met for the first time, the three of them had no idea how much they had in common. Not to mention how congenial they were, Yue Qing was so angry that she would pick up food for the two of them from time to time, and even wink from time to time. Unfortunately, she gained a lot. micro. Qi Yilin fully demonstrated his talkativeness, making the girl happy while making jokes. The meal was finally finished with the enthusiastic and attentive service of the waiter and the revelations from Xiaoling and Zhang Yuan.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"I'll take you back." After leaving Haidilao, Qi Yilin asked the three girls to take his car back. It was already very late, and he originally planned to finish eating early and go home early.
After sending the two shameless friends home, Qi Yilin drove to the house where Yue Qing lived.
Looking at Yue Qing sitting in the back seat in the rearview mirror, Qi Yilin burst into laughter.
"what's so funny."
"I didn't expect you to have such an interesting past."
"Don't listen to their nonsense and exaggeration. Why didn't I think they were so talkative before?"
"Ha~." Qi Yilin continued: "I think you are becoming more and more attractive."
Yue Qing ignored him.
Qi Yilin didn't talk about it anymore, and changed the topic: "Do you need me to help you solve the rumors about your company? Such rumors are actually easy to break."
"Why? What do you mean by helping me? It's not me who is in the eye of the storm, so why should you help me?"
"That person named Chen Yuan doesn't mean that you admire him."
"They will handle it themselves, no one needs to worry about it."
"......,All right."
"Just put me there and I'll go in by myself."
"Okay. Then you go to bed early."
"Thank you for sending me back."
"As a man should."
Yue Qing closed the car door and walked into the community.
Qi Yilin looked at her back in the car. He couldn't explain why he was so interested in this woman. He only knew that since the first time he saw her walking out from behind the tree, he suddenly felt that his blood was flowing. There was a slight movement. Perhaps because of family and status reasons, there is never a shortage of beautiful and gentle women around him, but none of them can make him feel a little shaken. Qi Yilin leaned his head on the armchair, thinking about the few times he and Chang Yueqing had met. He didn't drive away until the sound of a car was heard from behind.
....................................................
On the other side, the protagonist of the rumors in the company today was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Chen Yuan had not returned home until now. His face was a little red, and he looked like he had drank some wine. His wife had called him many times, but he hung up on them all. Later, she didn't even bother to hang up and just let it ring.
After Yue Qing and the others returned to their respective homes, Chen Yuan had just arrived downstairs. He looked up and saw that the lights at home were still on. Wang Yan was not asleep yet. He smoked a cigarette at the door to calm down. The phone rang again. I picked it up and saw that it was still Wang Yan. He hung up the phone and walked upstairs.
Just after knocking on two doors, Wang Yan opened the door from the inside. "Why are you back so late? Are you still drinking?"
"Drink a little." Chen Yuan's tone was a bit unpleasant.
Wang Yan heard it: "Why don't you answer the phone? I've been worried about you."
"There's nothing to worry about."
Wang Yan stood silently beside him. Chen Yuan usually cared about his family and loved his family, but sometimes it was quite scary when he got angry.
"The child is asleep?"
"Go to bed early. Have you eaten? I'll heat up the food."
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and Wang Yan went to heat the meal. Chen Yuan sat on the sofa and looked at his wife who was busy in the kitchen. He sighed. He picked up the cup from the coffee table and drank some water before getting down.
Wang Yan came out of the kitchen and saw him leaning on the sofa. She sat next to him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"
"fine."
"Not going well at work?"
Chen Yuan said nothing.
"By the way, how is Yueqing doing lately?" Wang Yan changed the topic.
"fine."
"I'm really worried about the two of them, and I don't know whose problem it is."
"Why do you worry so much?"
"Wang Bo is the only sister like me. Who else can worry about her besides me." Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't speak, he said again: "I didn't ask you to worry about it last time. Did you ask? What did the girl think? ah?"
"I asked, why didn't you ask? Wang Bo himself didn't take the initiative, so it's useless for you to worry."
"What should I do if I keep putting it off like this? It's a waste of youth."
"Hey, there are a lot of things going on in the company recently, so I guess Xiao Chang doesn't have time to mind his own affairs."
"Isn't your project finished?"
"What do you know?"
"Is it going well or not?"
"I met my old company." Chen Yuan looked at Wang Yan and said.
"ah?"
"Today, the company is spreading rumors about my plagiarism in my previous company."
It was Wang Yan's turn to stop talking. After a moment of silence, she continued: "This is indeed my fault. It's all my fault."
"My own words don't matter, but if this matter affects the company." Chen Yuan stood up and walked to the bedroom before he finished speaking.
"Hey, if you don't want to eat, it will be heated up soon." Wang Yan asked towards his back.
Chen Yuan didn't answer. Wang Yan sighed and returned to the kitchen to turn off the fire.
------------------------------------------Dividing line
Regardless of whether she was happy or disappointed yesterday, everyone went to work as usual the next day. When Yue Qing arrived at the office, she subconsciously looked at Chen Yuan, who was already in her office area. Colleagues didn't get much rest today. A few were busy with their own affairs, and a few were whispering to each other.
"Sister, have you heard about it?" Wang Peng waited for Yue Qing to finish packing and then came over to talk.
Yue Qing glanced at him and said, "I know, just leave it alone."
"I support Brother Chen anyway."
"Quite aware."
"You said the company won't fire Brother Chen."
"Who knows, I'm not in a hurry, let's wait and see."
Not long after, Chen Yuan answered a phone call and went out. A colleague who had something to do with him immediately followed him to the door to see from a distance. After a while, he turned back and said to everyone: "Hey, the manager has gone to the vice president's office."
Immediately, more people went out to take a look, and Wang Peng also followed. Yue Qing glanced at Zhang Peng, who was still sitting there, and thought about it for a moment. Yue Qing also walked to the door and took a look, except for the people in their department. , a lot of people gathered around the door of the vice president's office, most of them probably watching the excitement.
Yue Qing sighed and returned to her seat. When Wang Peng comes back later, he will definitely tell her the news.
"Mr. Ren, look for me." Chen Yuan came to the vice president's office. There was no one else in the office, and Mr. Ren was alone.
"Oh, sit down."
Chen Yuan sat down. He could probably guess what Mr. Ren wanted from him. He had already thought about it. If there was really nothing he could do, the worst option would be to start over.
"Some things have been circulating in the company these past two days, have you heard about it?"
"Mr. Ren, I know this."
"is that true?"
"It's not true. There are some reasons, and I can't clarify it."
"Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
"I used to work in Chiyang. As you know, at that time, I actually carried out the plan first. Later, Hao Dongsheng told my wife that he needed to use some electronic materials. My wife didn't understand, so she gave it to him. I'll find out later. At that time, he had already publicly talked about that plan, and I couldn’t explain why.”
"Oh, there's another matter. I understand your matter, but it will have a certain impact on the company's image."
"I know this, and I will obey the company's decision."
"Oh, don't be so pessimistic. The project department just said that Chengmao Construction has decided to cooperate with us. It seems that it has not been affected by these problems."
"Really, I have been worried that my problems will have a negative impact on the company's project this time. Fortunately, the results are good."
"The company has also considered your contribution to the company. It has been decided at present that Zhang Peng from your department will take over the position of your department manager first. You will take a break first and see what happens later. I will also advance it. Let me tell you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ren." Chen Yuan sat on the sofa and bowed.
"Well, I hope you won't be too affected by this incident. Our company still depends on you for its development. Your talents are obvious to all."
"Okay. I understand, Mr. Ren."
"Well, if nothing happens, you can go back first. The company will have a meeting to discuss it later."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Um."
As soon as he came out, Chen Yuan was stunned by the crowd of people at the door, and he immediately reacted. Everyone quickly pretended that something was wrong and went about their own business. Chen Yuan ignored these people and returned to the office.
Wang Peng also returned to his desk, and Yue Qing glanced at him. "What did you find out?"
"Can't hear clearly." Wang Peng said with a smile.
"The results should be available soon, don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid you are." Wang Peng said with a smile.
"Why am I anxious?" Yue Qing glared at him.
....................................................
I thought there would be a meeting in the afternoon, but it turned out that there was a company-wide meeting the next morning. The meeting was chaired by Vice President Ren. All the middle and high-level managers from all departments of the company attended. As for other employees, everyone from the technical department also participated. Not everyone from other departments is there. The meeting continued as usual, exaggerating the good work done by the company and the hard work, and then talked about some of the company's recent key tasks.
Then he mentioned that the cooperation on the just-concluded project had been signed, and the whole company had made considerable efforts for it, especially the technical department. Hearing this, the entire company was also happy along with everyone. After all, everyone has worked hard together. Yue Qing was also sincerely happy. Although she was not worried about the rumors that suddenly spread in the company this time, it might affect her after all. I was concerned about the company's image, and I didn't know what the other company's new products were like, so I was always worried.
Then he talked about some personnel changes. The specific changes were not mentioned at the conference, but they will be posted on the company's bulletin board later. Yue Qing's heart skipped a beat, which was directly related to their technical department.
After the meeting, everyone returned to their posts. Yue Qing and the others also understood the company's decision when browsing the bulletin board. The events of the previous two days still had a certain impact on Chen Yuan, and then Zhang Peng's succession was relatively sudden. Yue Qing Qing suddenly felt that she didn't see much of him yesterday. She didn't know if there was some small meeting. She must have told the person involved about this kind of thing, and he should have known about it in advance. However, everyone didn't have any objection to this. After all, Zhang Peng's talent was top-notch in their technical department. The main reason was that Chen Yuan didn't know how to deal with himself, and Yue Qing didn't consciously feel worried for him.
Chen Yuan had packed up all his things yesterday and moved his things to Zhang Peng. Yue Qing was very close to Zhang Peng's position and clearly felt that Zhang Peng was a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Chen..."
"Zhang Peng, please go over there. That will be your office from now on."
"Brother Chen, I didn't expect that I would take this position."
"You deserve this. Work hard. Everyone knows that Zhang Peng will be our leader from now on. Everyone must follow Zhang Peng and do their best for the development of our company. My Everyone knows that there is nothing good about me, so you don’t have to worry about me. From now on, we will still be colleagues, and if you need help, you can come to me."
"Brother Chen, we all support you." A colleague took the lead and said. Chen Yuan is quite popular in the technical department.
"Brother Chen, are you sorry?" Zhang Peng said.
"I'm sorry. This is my own problem. I had already planned to leave the company. This is already a very good result. By the way, there are still some of my information on the computer. I may need to sort it out by then. one time."
"Okay, then Brother Chen, I'm going over."
"Call me Chen Yuan from now on. You are the department manager. You will need to manage the entire department from now on. Don't call me Brother Chen anymore."
"I'm used to it." Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"If you need help in the future, just say so. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Okay, then I'll go there."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhang Peng also packed up his things and moved over after saying that.
Chen Yuan sat in Zhang Peng's seat, and no one else found it inappropriate. He sat down and saw Yue Qing looking here, smiled and said: "Yue Qing, we will help each other from now on."
"Brother Chen, please take care of me." Yue Qing also said with a smile.
