Chapter 038: Ambition Can’t Be Hidden

When Xu Yan returned to the design department, she saw that there was no one in the office area. She took her water glass from the table and came to the indirect water for tea.

But she didn’t want everyone to squeeze here to chat about gossip. She stood at the door and overheard everyone discussing who the next design director was.

These people are the ones who spoke ill of her in the staff restaurant before. Among them, the most profound ones of Xu Yan are Gao Ping and Qingqing.

The people in the pantry were discussing frantically, and they didn’t even notice Xu Yan standing outside.

One of them flattered: “If you want me to say that the position of design director is our Ping brother, he has worked with Ye Ge for so long, and he is the most suitable person in the company.”

The enchanting woman named Qingqing also said with a grin: “I also think that by then Ping will be promoted, remember to invite us to dinner!”


People who are touted always have a sense of accomplishment, and Gao Ping feels that he will soon be promoted when he hears the big guys supporting him so much.

He couldn’t help being a little lucky, but fortunately, Ye Lanqi was fired, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to be promoted.

In front of everyone, he was too embarrassed to talk too much, and said modestly: “Don’t praise me. I haven’t gotten the horoscope yet. I still have to send an email from the personnel department. Shout.”

Xu Yan curled her mocking lips when she heard him say this, her expression full of disgust.

These people were still fighting over Ye Lanqi’s dismissal in the morning, and now they started to have ideas about their position.

Especially this man named Gao Ping, who used to be a follower behind Ye Lanqi’s ass, usually called Ye Ge, is a kind of affection.

Now that Ye Lanqi has just left his front foot, his ambition can’t be hidden. It’s ridiculous.

People in the workplace don’t have ambitions yet, just to see who hides deeper.

And she Xu Yan also has her own ambitions.

And she still holds a lot of grudges. This Gao Ping ridiculed that she was an African black girl in the restaurant that day, but she took down this grudge.

Since he wanted the position of design director, she had to be his stumbling block.



Xu Yan walked in with the cup, turned around and left after receiving the cup of hot water.

The face of Qingqing turned dark, looking at her back and scolding disdainfully: “Look at the way this black girl ignores people all day long, it’s really like the second extinction teacher, it makes people so uncomfortable.”

Gao Ping echoed: “Her personality is indeed a bit withdrawn and introverted. It may be the reason why she is so dark and embarrassed.”

Qingqing said again: “It’s not lonely. Think about her even Yan Wen dares to fight, and there is nothing she dares to do. In my opinion, our new girl is not a simple character.”

Another gossip little genius couldn’t help it, and whispered: “I think this black girl is very close to the new Leng Da design. Brother Ping should be careful. Be careful that the position of the design director is not guaranteed.”

“Hey!” Qingqing said with disdain: “Just her? Let’s forget it, anyone can be possible, but she can’t.”

“Oh, I’m gone, it won’t be good to be heard by Leng Da later.” It was still the youngest girl who stopped the topic.

She is not a gossip person, but she can’t do anything for the sake of being in a group. She usually listens to gossip with this group of people, but never interrupts.

Sometimes she just let the wind blow and whistle, but every time she can play a role at the critical moment.

Qingqing had long been dissatisfied with her coward, and said coldly: “Every time you have a lot of things, I’m afraid here and there, so next time, don’t participate in us.”

After speaking, she twisted her hot posture and left the pantry, and the others also left one after another.

The young girl is a bit wronged. She is not timid, but feels that it is bad behavior to always talk about others behind their backs.

But she also has no right to speak. Whoever makes her the lowest position is a small clerk doing chores.

Xu Yan sat there and saw everyone coming back from the pantry. She glanced at the young girl and felt that she was not very happy.

The young girl sat next to Xu Yan, with her hands on the table and covering her face, tears falling down.

She sobbed quietly, completely afraid to make any noise, for fear that it would attract the attention of others.

But her work station was too close to Xu Yan. The distance between the two was only a few meters away. Xu Yan accidentally saw the tears on her face.

She couldn’t help but care a little, and subconsciously went to look at the girl’s badge.

Lin Ruoli, 18 years old, is a clerk in the design department.

Although it was just a glance, Xu Yan’s good memory is particularly clear.

The girl named Lin Ruoli made her feel distressed. She took out a pack of mini-version tissues from her bag and gently handed it to Lin Ruoli.

Lin Ruoli’s eyes were soaked with tears, and she saw the tissue in the blur.

She turned her eyes to look at Xu Yan, her crystal clear eyes filled with gratitude. This was the first warmth she came to the design department, but she didn’t expect it to be given to her by the black girl in front of her.

Lin Ruoli said hoarsely: “Thank you.”

Xu Yan smiled at her without saying much.

In fact, except for Gao Ping and Qingqing, she is not very annoying to everyone else, especially the little girl in front of her, who is only 18 years old. It must be very stressful to enter such a big company.

Moreover, young people in the workplace are most likely to be bullied. Looking at Lin Ruoli like this, she should have tried hard to squeeze into that circle and be left out.

As a newcomer, Xu Yan can’t help her much, she can only do small things like handing tissues.

After finishing work at six, Xu Yan went straight to the elevator and pressed the first floor button after finishing the card.

At the last second, Lin Ruoli rushed in carrying her bag.

The other colleagues were still talking about gossip, and Xu Yan couldn’t help being a little curious when seeing Lin Ruoli rushing over.

I saw Lin Ruoli proactively said, “Thank you for handing me the tissues today.”

Xu Yan didn’t expect that she would come to thank you for this trivial matter. It seems that this girl is really a flattering personality.

In this way, the personality will be very tiring, afraid of socializing and offending people by saying the wrong thing, too sensitive to a little bit of things, and willing to be a green leaf for fear of not being able to integrate into other people’s circles.

Xu Yan really met such a person for the first time, and she said in a calm tone: “Little things, no thanks.”

Lin Ruoli lowered her head and looked down. She looked very nervous, and asked shyly, “That…may I invite you to afternoon tea.”

Um? Xu Yan was a little surprised!

Thanks, she can understand, but this meal seems to have come too suddenly, right?


She doesn’t really want to make friends in the workplace, and think about it, it’s better to refuse.

Before she could speak, Lin Ruoli went on to invite and said, “I just want to express my gratitude. It won’t delay you a lot of time.”

Xu Yan looked at the expectation in her clear eyes, a little unbearable, “Next time.”
