Chapter 48 Jin Jie, who has a crush on Gu Ye
"Yangyang, you joined the company earlier than me. Do you know whose mouth is bigger?" Chu Xinglan asked, leaning closer to Yangyang.
"Huh?" Yang Yang looked at Chu Xinglan strangely. "You're looking for Big Slap?"
"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask you, who's the kind of person who loves gossip and talks about everything?" Chu Xinglan smiled.
Yang Yang looked even more puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity." Chu Xinglan smiled. Since everyone was so tight-lipped about Shirley, she decided to find someone who wouldn't keep a secret and try to find out more about Shirley.
"If we're talking about people who love gossip, then Sister Jin from the planning department is definitely the one. But Sister Jin has a bad temper. She takes advantage of being a senior employee and often bullies the newcomers." Yang Yang said, covering one side of her face with her hand and whispering in Chu Xinglan's ear, "I also heard that she's over thirty and still not married. She has a crush on the boss!"
"Having a crush on Gu Ye?" Chu Xinglan blurted out without thinking. Realizing her slip of the tongue, she looked around awkwardly. Fortunately, everyone in the office was busy with their work and didn't hear what she was saying.
"You actually called the boss by his first name?" Yang Yang's gaze at Chu Xinglan seemed to say, "You're too bold."
"It was a slip of the tongue!" Chu Xinglan quickly explained.
Yang Yang had no suspicions.
Chu Xinglan strolled slowly around the planning department with her cup in her hand. She wanted to find Sister Jin, whom Yang Yang had mentioned, but since she didn't know Sister Jin, she could only wander around outside the planning department.
As luck would have it, just as Chu Xinglan arrived at the planning department, she saw a plump woman bossing around a newcomer.
"Did you bring your brain to work? You can't even do a simple task right. Are you just here to freeload?"
The one being reprimanded was a young woman wearing low-waisted jeans and a denim jacket. Chu Xinglan recognized her at a glance as the aloof and arrogant woman who had applied for the job that day. She never expected that she would be hired in the end. But an arrogant woman is an arrogant woman. Even when faced with a senior's reprimand, she would not meekly accept it.
"Big sister, I'm just applying for a menial job. You want me to do planning for you? Do you want me to take your planning manager position too?"
"What...what's your attitude?" The fat woman paused for a moment, then, remembering that she was the leader, she raised her head a few notches.
"Sister Jin has finally met her match." At this moment, two female colleagues walked past Chu Xinglan, gloating as they went.
Sister Jin? Which fat woman is Sister Jin? And she has a crush on Gu Ye?
Okay, crushes have nothing to do with looks. Anyone would be envious if the object of their crush was good-looking.
"That's right. Because we're prettier than her, she makes things difficult for us at every turn, thinking we're trying to seduce President Gu. But she should take a good look at herself. She's so ugly. To put it nicely, she's in love with President Gu. To put it bluntly... she's just an unwanted old hag."
The two of them chuckled softly.
"Stop talking, it'll be troublesome if Sister Jin hears you."
Realizing they had gotten carried away, the two shut their mouths and quickly slipped away.
Chu Xinglan looked at Sister Jin, who was quacking like a duck, and found it inexplicably funny.
"This is a company. Do you want to be a conspicuous person and get everyone's attention by dressing like this every day?" Sister Jin started to criticize Sister Zhai's outfit.
"The company doesn't require us to wear uniforms. What I wear is my own business, what's it to you?" The arrogant woman retorted, giving a cold smile. "If you're not satisfied, you can fire me. Want me to do things outside my job description? Dream on!"
"You little slut, you think I wouldn't dare? I'll fire you right now, so get out of here right now!" Sister Jin said angrily.
The female assistant standing next to Sister Jin hurriedly pulled her aside: "Sister Jin, she is the third young lady of the Ye Group. She has already spoken to our company and cannot be fired directly."
"I know, otherwise I would have kicked that little slut out on her very first day. She's obviously here for President Gu, shameless!"
Chu Xinglan overheard their conversation and realized that she had gotten in because of her status, and that she was there specifically to get close to Gu Ye.
If it were said that Sister Jin had a crush on Gu Ye, that would be a joke, but the person in front of her... couldn't help but make Chu Xinglan feel a sense of crisis.
"Who are you calling a slut? Who's shameless?" Ye Xiaoxiao slapped Sister Jin across the face.
"Ah!" Sister Jin was stunned by the slap. She did not expect Ye Xiaoxiao to suddenly hit her, especially in front of everyone.
The entire planning department was stunned in an instant.
Chu Xinglan was also taken aback.
"You shameless slut, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for death!" Jin Jie, covering her face with her hands, spoke like a she-devil, about to scratch Ye Xiaoxiao's pretty face.
"It's so lively here. Am I mistaken? Shouldn't it be working hours now?"
Just then, Chu Xinglan's clear and bright voice rang out.
Everyone's eyes were on Chu Xinglan.
Jin Jie's hand froze in mid-air, and Ye Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to move aside and dodge her clutches.
"Who are you?" Sister Jin looked at Chu Xinglan with displeasure.
"She's from the secretarial department!" the female assistant whispered to Sister Jin.
"What are you doing in my planning department when you're just a secretary?"
Sister Jin glanced at Chu Xinglan's name tag and said unhappily.
"I'll get the water!" Chu Xinglan raised the water glass in her hand and smiled faintly.
"Doesn't the Secretariat have any water?" Sister Jin looked even more displeased. If this girl hadn't suddenly interrupted her, she would have already scratched Ye Xiaoxiao's face.
"The water dispenser in the secretariat is broken," Chu Xinglan lied without batting an eye.
"Even if the water dispenser in the secretarial department is broken, isn't there a human resources department next door? Why do you have to come to our planning department?" Sister Jin said irritably.
"Yes, the HR department is right next to the secretarial department, but I think the planning department is more lively. I could hear it from far away. Should I... tell President Gu about this?" Chu Xinglan asked with an innocent smile.
Upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words, Sister Jin's face, which was full of anger, froze.
"Do you really want a drink of water, or are you here to protect her?" Sister Jin glared at Chu Xinglan fiercely.
This young lady from the secretarial department looks new too, otherwise how come she hasn't seen her before?
"Of course, it's for drinking water," Chu Xinglan said seriously, then asked, "Where is your water dispenser?"
Sister Jin turned away, not wanting to pay attention to her.
"There!" Her female assistant, not wanting to offend the secretarial department, pointed to the water dispenser.
"Thanks!" Chu Xinglan walked to the water dispenser to get some water as if it were a serious matter.
"What's your name?" Sister Jin asked coldly.
"Chu Xinglan!"
"Fine, I'll remember you!" Sister Jin stared fiercely at Chu Xinglan.
