Chapter 99
When Shu Tian returned to the office, she received attention from everyone. Although everyone was trying not to put an eye on Shu Tian, Shu Tian still felt much attention which was like shining sunlight. Just as she reached her seat, Wei Xiangming suddenly came out of the office and called out to her, "Shu Tian, come here for a moment."
Shu Tian paused and turned to follow.
Entering the office, Wei Xiangming didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "I've seen the news about you and Boss Li. I want to know what you think about that."
Putting aside those hypocritical routines, Shu Tian felt much more comfortable by such honesty. "Manager Wei, I have no idea. I just want to do my job well and work hard."
Wei Xiangming looked at her, smiled politely, and didn't say much. She just asked Shu Tian, "Have you ever thought that your relationship with Boss Li might affect the relationship between you and other colleagues?"
Shu Tian thought, "We announced our relationship, and our colleagues would be more or less afraid, which would indeed have a lot of bad effects on our work."
Shu Tian pondered for a moment, exactly as what Li Han had just said, "There will be an impact, but it will not last long, and I think the impact is more from the speculator himself. As long as I am strict with myself, I believe that these will all pass, and everyone will only work harder."
"It's best for you to think like this, but I will keep an eye on your work status. If anything happens, I will advise my superiors to make other arrangements for you." After that, Wei Xiangming added, "Of course, you may not be afraid. I hope you can understand that I'm just doing my work."
Shu Tian nodded noncommittally. "I understood."
Shu Tian preferred a leader like Wei Xiangming rather than Liu Wei. Wei Xiangming would tell you what needed to be noticed or your wrongs in work directly, instead of trying to make things difficult, and she was just being objective.
Just like their conversation just now, there was not a single word that made Shu Tian feel unjust, but more able to inspire her to work hard.
Seeing Shu Tian so magnanimous, Wei Xiangming nodded approvingly. "All right, you can go out first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Shu Tian left the office and sat back in her office seat. Next to her seat was Zhang Rui'er's desk. They were separated by a partition and could hear each other.
Shu Tian opened the company's internal communication software and sent Zhang Rui'er a message. After waiting for a long time, she finally received a reply. There was only a single question mark.
Shu Tian, "I don't know how to explain it to you. There are some things I am not sure about before, so I couldn't tell you. I hope you don't blame me. I didn't want to lie to you. I'm sorry." After a long time, it kept showing that "the other one is typing", and it could be seen that Zhang Rui'er was hesitant about what to say.
In the end, Zhang Rui'er only sent a few words, "Why didn't you say when I asked you?"
Shu Tian bit her lip, "I wasn't sure back then."
Zhang Rui'er curled up her hand above the keyboard and said nervously, "You and Boss Li are really a couple. In the eyes of others, I am really a woman who relies on someone powerful." Once, Shu Tian was said to have a backer and was ostracized. Only Zhang Rui'er was willing to get along with Shu Tian because she thought Shu Tian had a good personality and a very good moral character. People, however, thought Shu Tian to be fawning on someone with a powerful background.
Now that Li Han had admitted Shu Tian was his girlfriend, everyone in the company who knew about their relationship was surprised that the two people who seemed to be very distant actually got together. Shu Tian was not a mistress as rumors. They were in love.
When Zhang Rui'er saw the news, she almost spat out the porridge in her mouth. Besides being surprised, she was more disappointed. She had asked Shu Tian more than once about her relationship with Li Han, and Shu Tian denied it either directly or indirectly. Although it was reasonable not to say because it was personal business, Zhang Rui'er could not help but feel disappointed.
Did Shu Tian consider her as a friend?
When Shu Tian saw the message replied by Zhang Rui'er, she felt a wave of guilt and stopped talking on the computer, but to drag Zhang Rui'er directly to the tea room. They two stood side by side. For the first time, the atmosphere was so awkward.
Shu Tian still took the initiative to say, "Rui, it's not what you think. Although Li Han and I have known each other for a while, our relationship has not been formally established. When you asked me before, I don't know how to define our relationship. It was only today that he admitted our relationship clearly."
"So you were together before today?"
Hearing this, Shu Tian's face was a little hot, and she nodded awkwardly, "Yes."
The beginning of the story between Li Han and Shu Tian was indeed not good, even terrible actually. If Shu Tian hadn't fallen in love with Li Han later, she wouldn't have imagined what she would have experienced.
Zhang Rui'er looked at Shu Tian lowering her head slowly, looking like Shu Tian had done something wrong. Zhang Rui'er didn't feel good, either. What was wrong with Shu Tian? There was no absolute thing in a relationship. Only the person involved knew what happened.
As an outsider, Zhang Rui'er was not qualified to judge, nor was she qualified to be angry just because of Shu Tian's concealment.
All she cared about was Shu Tian, her friend.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rui'er asked Shu Tian seriously, "Shu Tian, do you treat me as a friend?"
Hearing that, Shu Tian raised her head in shock. Her big eyes seemed to be about to pop out. "What are you talking about? How can I not treat you as a friend?"
In her heart, Zhang Rui'er was her best colleague in Hanyi Law Office, and they were still friends in private.
How could Zhang Rui'er have such doubts?
Zhang Rui'er was young, the same age as Shu Tian. Zhang Rui'er might not see things very clearly, but she was truly a person who treasured friendship. The two of them were face to face, and they were not lying to each other. It could be seen from their eyes.
Her eyes gradually reddened. "Why did you make such big news without saying a word? I thought you were Cinderella. Who knows you are the princess in the ivory tower..."
Knowing that she was still in the mood to joke, Shu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head. "Are you joking me too?"
Zhang Rui'er answered angrily. "Now you are Boss Li's girlfriend, so you will get anything you want."
"You take Li Han as a much better man." Shu Tian was a little helpless, took Zhang Rui'er's hand and looked at her sincerely. "Rui, I always treat you as a friend. In my heart, we are not only colleagues but also friends. We are still good friends after leaving Hanyi Law Office someday. I had my own difficulties before. Don't misunderstand. I've never been on guard against you. I just don't know what to say..."
Zhang Rui'er's eyes turned even redder when she heard this. She looked at Shu Tian for a few seconds and broke into a smile. She couldn't help but be amused by Shu Tian's sad face. "You, just appreciate your happy life. You didn't come to the office this morning. You can not imagine how many people envy you. You don't even know what they said. They are so jealous of you. So I think no one will dare to conflict with you face to face in the future."
Shu Tian had been ostracized and bullied so badly before, but now it was her turn to hold her head high.
Although Shu Tian said no, her behavior was still very honest. When she heard such a compliment to Li Han, she had an inexplicable sense of pride.
The man she liked should be so outstanding.
The misunderstanding was solved. Shu Tian and Zhang Rui'er got back together as usual. In fact, it was not a quarrel. It was just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Shu Tian solved it in time so that the tension would not get tighter.
As they talked freely, Zhang Rui'er became unscrupulous and whispered in Shu Tian's ear, "Don't forget me when you become the president's wife in the future. Your good sister, me, is still single. Remember to introduce a few rich guys to me."
Hearing this, Shu Tian thought of an incomparably handsome face almost at the same time. She thought about it carefully and then looked at Zhang Rui'er. "You really want to find someone, and here is a one." Zhang Rui'er was just saying it, and she didn't expect Shu Tian really knows someone. She nodded immediately. "Well, good. Do you have any photos? Let me take a look."
"No need." Shu Tian looked at her teasingly. "We both know him."
"Yes?" Zhang Rui'er looked confused. "Who is he?"
"Zhang Bikun." Shu Tian lowered her voice and walked out of the tea room. A gleaming color flashed, and Shu Tian elbowed Zhang Rui'er. "Here he is."
