Zhang Tingting remarked while helping to make the drinks, “It must be tough being the newcomer. But we have all been through it. Look at it this way, they will always need somebody to do all these chores for the meetings. When there’s another newcomer here, you will be free!”
Zhuang Nainai nodded again, noting that she was friendly.
Zhang Tingting peered out and made sure no one was looking into the pantry. She then went close to Zhuang Nainai and asked in a hushed whisper, “Do you know why your team leader is giving you such a hard time?”
Zhuang Nainai was just pondering over that and asked immediately, “Why?”
“You still don’t know, do you? Your employment is spreading all around the design department. Everyone is saying that you are the second Boss Mi. And you are so young, some people here will surely see you as an obstacle in getting a promotion!”
Zhuang Nainai gave a helpless smile. “I’m worlds apart from Boss Mi. These people flatter me way too much.”
The employees knew nothing of Zhuang Nainai’s identity, and they must have decided that she got recruited here due to some extraordinary talent!
Zhuang Nainai was between laughter and tears. It was no wonder that Leader Zhang was eyeing her with such bitterness.
However, she could not run off to Leader Zhang and tell him that she did not want a promotion.
One must have ambition in what they do.
And Zhuang Nainai had plenty of ambition. She wanted to achieve something great in her career too.
She would have to take the brunt of the misunderstanding.
Zhang Tingting looked at her helplessness and stuck out her tongue. She helped to finish preparing all the coffee before going off on her own in search of a snack in the pantry.
Zhuang Nainai carried the drinks back to the meeting room and delivered them to each and everyone according to their requests.
She then brought the final coffee to Zhang Chaowen.
He took a sip and frowned, creasing his brows. “Zhuang Nainai! What coffee is this! I wanted it with two creamers and four sugar cubes, this is way too bitter! How can you be so forgetful! How do you expect me to trust you with the work here in the design department!”
Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.
She gave a cold snort internally and smiled. “You requested for one creamer and two sugar cubes just now.”
“I know my preference, how can I remember wrongly? And how dare you talk back when you are the one who made a mistake?”
Zhuang Nainai curled her lips and smiled again. “Leader, are you sure that I’m the one who made a mistake?”
Zhang Chaowen gave a low grunt. “What can you do when you can’t even do such little things properly? I’m really doubting your capabilities at work!”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed at his words.
She was no longer a graduate fresh out of college. The New Age Wedding Agency was small, but it was filled with office politics. Zhuang Nainai was no longer new to such tactics and had learned how to deal with them.
She slowly retrieved her phone from her pocket and continued, “Leader Zhang, like you pointed out, I’m not good with remembering orders and was worried that I’d mess up the drinks. Therefore, I’ve recorded the requests just now. I’ll play it for you...”
She then hit the play button.
Leader Zhang’s voice sounded from the phone. “Zhuang Nainai, please get me a cup of coffee, one creamer and two sugar cubes. Thank you.”
The words were clear and unmistakable, and it was like a hard slap across Zhang Chaowen’s face.
Zhang Chaowen stood in a flash, his face turning from red to white, and then to an ugly shade of green.
Zhuang Nainai stood unwavering, looking at him.
She was not a meek little lamb to be trifled with!
