Chapter 19
Let us see how you praise him.
After lunch, Su Hanyan completed the blackboard report and returned to the office. She saw Jiang Kuo and Lin Qingyu huddling together and chatting.
She threw Jiang Kuo a disdainful look. He was clearly a man, but he totally did not have the poise of one.
Every day, he would be with Lin Qingyu, gossiping like housewives.
On the other hand, she did not know why Lin Qingyu held such a strong animosity toward her. Having used such a trick behind her back showed that the other party truly wanted to kick her out of the publicity department.
Not long after she sat down, Chief Niu Hongxia entered. Her displeasure was written all over her long face.
“Su Hanyan, come out for a while.”
Su Hanyan put down her notebook and followed her out. They stopped upon reaching a bare white poplar tree.
“I heard that you had removed one of the union’s programs for personal revenge. You even got into a fight with Qiao Shasha and splashed her with tea. Su Hanyan, the nerves you’ve got. The union even came to complain to me; do you know that?” Chief Niu’s expression was dark. It was obvious that their words had not been pleasant.
“Chief, those are false accusations! I don’t think that the program was reasonable. When I removed it, I even asked Lin Qingyu and Jiang Kuo for their opinions! They also felt that there’s no problem. About that fight… Qiao Shasha started it! There were people in the workshop watching at that time. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate…” She was glad that there were people who had witnessed it. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain this matter.
“Really?” asked Niu Hongxia.
“I swear that it’s absolutely true!” Su Hanyan patted her chest and guaranteed with a sincere expression. “I’ve worked under you for so many years, and you’ve always taught me that a person should be open, straightforward, and broadminded! You’ve always done that and been a great role model for me! With your influence, that has become my baseline when it comes to both work and study, so there definitely won’t be a situation where I use work for personal revenge! How about I show you the program list? If you think that there’s a problem with my decision, you can criticize me, and I’ll have no complaints!”
Her statement was an explanation for herself, but at the same time, it had a suitable amount of flattery for the leader added in.
Who did not like hearing nice words? It just all depended on how one praised them.
When Chief Niu heard this, she inwardly felt quite pleased. The expression of blossoming flowers on her face showed everything. “Really?”
“Of course! You are my role model—my idol!” said Su Hanyan impassionedly. “You know my personality. I used to be timid, have no guts, and make no sound, but you are such a good talker and have excellent communication skills. As your subordinate, I mustn’t fall behind. I’ve worked hard to speak boldly so as to build a good image for our publicity department!”
Niu Hongxia recalled Su Hanyan’s recent work and realized that it was true. It was as if the latter had become a different person. She spoke more and her personality got more cheerful.
“It’s good that you didn’t. I still believe in your work ethics.” Since she had already said so much, she felt that it would be too outrageous to continue questioning, so she simply said, “Let me handle this matter. However, I must remind you that Qiao Shasha is related to the union’s vice president. Try not to have any conflicts with her in the future!”
