Su Ruan returned to her table with her stomach full of anger.
Although she managed to conceal her expression well, everyone was aware of her mood. Just like Su Ruan, the others were angry at Gao Leng's favoritism. However, they chose not to say a word.
The atmosphere in the department turned quiet and tense. No one dared to speak loudly. Everyone was focusing on their work as they waited for the day to be over.
A while later, the click clack of a pair of high heels could be heard walking around in the department.
Yan Xi walked over to Su Ruan's table with a smug look on her face while the others continued to watch this scene with worry. Everyone was afraid that Yan Xi had come to provoke Su Ruan and wondered if the two of them were going to start a fight.
Their eyes were looking at the computer screen but they were observing the situation quietly. They have decided that once something happened, they will have to step forward stop them.
Yan Xi stopped beside the table and rolled her eyes upon seeing that Su Ruan had not raised her head up. She let out a sigh and knocked on Su Ruan's table a few times. "Hey."
However, Su Ruan was determined to ignore her.
Yan Xi scoffed. "Are you going to continue and ignore me? Su Ruan, don't you know that you are being childish?"
Taking a deep breath, Su Ruan finally turned in her swiveling chair to look at Yan Xi.
"What do you want?" Surprisingly, Su Ruan was able to conceal her anger as she spoke. Her tone was languid and it doesn't seem as if she cared about whatever happened in the meeting room.
"I'm here to get those important documents from you," Yan Xi said. "You heard what Director Gao Leng said. I'm the one who will be interviewing President Long Fei. Su Ruan, just hand over the materials you have to me."
Su Ruan sneered. "According to Director Guo, you were assigned to this interview because you are capable. Yan Xi, if you are so capable, why don't you find whatever materials you need yourself?"
Yan Xi flashed a smile that did not reach to her eyes. "Since you have collected the materials, let's not waste your effort. How about handing them over to me?" Su Ruan, let's not forget that we are a team. What's wrong with helping each other."
"You want the materials I gathered?"
"Isn't that what I just said?"
Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line. Then slowly, the corner of her lips tilted up to a smile. "Well, that's too bad for you. I already deleted whatever materials I have gathered. Everything that I have gathered previously is all gone."
"Su Ruan, you!" Yan Xi pointed a finger at her. "You're lying!"
"Why would I lie about this?" Su Ruan crossed her arms on her chest. Seeing Yan Xi this angry gave her a satisfaction. "If you don't believe me, you can go on and check my computer. I'll let you bring someone over to check my computer. I can assure you that you won't be able to find anything."
The interview with President Long Fei is important. There was no way that she was going to let Yan Xi take credit for her work this time.
Yan Xi's face turned red. She stared at Su Ruan's face for a long time and knew well that Su Ruan was telling her the truth. The girl was too furious after Director Guo let her be in charge of the interview that she had deleted everything from her computer.
A look of satisfaction appeared on her face. "If I were you, I would go ahead and start to work," Su Ruan said. "Don't forget. Yan Xi, you only have less than twenty-four hours to gather everything you need. It was rare for President Long Fei to agree to be interviewed by any magazine. Yan Xi, don't embarrass us. Since Director Gao believed in you, you shouldn't let him down. Anyway, everyone in this department is looking forward to your work."
Turning around, Yan Xi found that everyone in the department was looking at her.
None of them were going to take her side.
Clenching her hand into a tight fist, Yan Xi turned around and planned to meet up with Gao Leng to complain.
Once Yan Xi had left, everyone began to heave with relief. Seeing Yan Xi this angry made them very happy. A few of them turned to Su Ruan and gave her a thumb up.
This was the first time that Su Ruan had retaliated to this extend. It was no wonder that Yan Xi would be this angry.
Jiang Tian slid in her swiveling chair to her friend's table. "Su Ruan, are you not afraid that Yan Xi would tell Director Guo?"
"She can tell him if she want. What can he do about it?" Su Ruan sneered. "He had taken away this job from me. It can't be that he still want me to take help Yan Xi, right? Since he think that Yan Xi was that capable, then he should trust hat she would do a good job."
Jiang Tian let out a sigh. Although she was glad that Su Ruan had retaliated, Jiang Tian was still a little worried that Gao Leng was going to do something.
As everyone was seated in their cubicles and busied themselves with their job, Gao Leng's secretary walked over to Su Ruan's table and announced that Gao Leng wanted to see her.
The surroundings were quiet and everyone could hear loud and clear the secretary's words. Their gaze shifted to Su Ruan worriedly.
Su Ruan nodded. "Alright. Tell Director Gao that I will come to his office shortly."
The secretary turned around and left after sweeping her gaze around the department once.
"Will you be alright?" Jiang Tian asked as she reached her side again.
"Its fine. What can he do to me?" Su Ruan stood up and flashed an assuring smile to her friend. "If things get worst, I can just quit. Anyway, with a boss like Gao Leng, there was no way that we could have a bright future."
The others were in a deep thought as the heard Su Ruan's words. As they watched Su Ruan walked over to Gao Leng's office, everyone began to consider their future in the company.
