In the
troubled times, I met the monitor who bullied me in high school during the
interview.
She is the applicant and I am the boss.
“I’m very righteous. When I was in high school, I caught a classmate who was stealing and made her quit school. She got what she deserved.”
When faced with the question, “What qualities do you have that match your job?”, she answered confidently. When
she finished, my trembling fists clenched even tighter.
Cold sweat-stained palms, now still hidden faint scars.
At that time, she used a knife to carve the word “bitch” here.
She said that she wanted me to live with the traces of being bullied by her all my life and live under her haze. When I saw the face in the interview room
through the glass door, I was suddenly short of breath.
“Director Yao, are you all right?” The assistant caught it quickly and asked with concern.
I waved my hand, and my heart was still beating fast. In the
interview room, Jiang Nannan’s makeup was exquisite, confident and proud, and she was caught off guard.
At that time, she was my nightmare day and night, and when I was bullied, I always saw her as an elevation.
Every time I curled up in the corner, Jiang Nannan raised her feet with a grim smile and landed heavily on my lower abdomen, arms, shoulders, then my head and the bridge of my nose. The dizzy feeling of
memory makes me unable to move at the moment.
“I’ll arrange for another interviewer.”
The assistant was very understanding. “An employee at her level doesn’t need you at all.” After
a pause, I ordered, “Give me the live voice broadcast.”
Ten minutes later, the interview begins.
Listening to self-introduction and work experience, it can be seen that Jiang Nannan has been mixed up for so many years, but he has not made any achievements.
The new interviewer, Cheng Lei, the commercial director, frowned frequently. If the
ability is not enough, the quality will come together.
Speaking of professionalism, Jiang Nannan hesitated, but when it comes to the story of fighting thieves in high school, she talked endlessly.
Director Yao, I think it’s almost done. The level of this applicant is too poor. It’s a waste of my time.
Cheng Lei couldn’t help sending a message to report the progress.
Bear with me. Today’s shift pays you double.
Leaning back in my chair, I threw away my cell phone, closed my eyes for a moment, breathed slowly, and then replied. Don’t finish
yet. I want to meet her.
To be exact, I want to hear her story about outsmarting the thief. Let’s
recall our lost and messy youth together. In
my impression, it was a break before the final exam of the second year of high school, and I went back to class from the bathroom.
A group of people were gathered around my seat, and the textbooks in my schoolbag were shaken to the ground. Among
them, there are two dazzling hundred yuan and a low guarantee, which is the information I brought to apply for the grant today.
“That’s her!” Chiang Nan-nan held up the “stolen money” on the ground and raised her arms and shouted, “It was Li Sike who stole the 200 yuan class fee. She’s a thief!”
Li Si was my name at that time.
With these words, she contemptuously hooked her lips and kicked the low assurance on the ground into the crowd. The students in the
class picked it up, passed it around, read out the names of my mother and me, gave her nicknames wantonly, and tore up the small book that protected our family’s food and clothing.
“Still living on the minimum living allowance, no wonder you want to steal money!”
Jiang Nannan found an excellent piece of evidence and shouted even more wantonly,
“Two hundred yuan, for you, is really a huge sum of money stolen. How can your mother reward you when you go back?”? Isn’t it time to get you a new cup?
Last month, Jiang Nannan stuffed a dead mouse into my cup.
I threw it in the trash can. When I
got back, my mother hit my hand with a ruler.
She said that I was a waste, that our family was so poor, what qualifications did I have to throw away the intact cup, wash and disinfect it, not that I could not continue to use it.
“Death to the thief!”
I don’t know who threw the blackboard eraser in my face, and there was a striking white rectangular mark in the middle, just like the ancient criminals on TV.
Everyone burst into laughter.
“No, I’m not a thief..”
I repeat over and over again, no one listens, no one cares. After
school, on a hidden path, I saw Jiang Nannan give my deskmate a test paper.
Say yes, the final English question, thank you for stuffing money into that bitch’s schoolbag. Don’t worry, my mother is the dean of academic affairs, so there won’t be any problems.
The school also responded as quickly as possible, deciding to order the “corrupt thief” to drop out of school, and awarding the “righteous and brave” Chiang Nan-nan a medal of virtue. When
my mother heard the news, she took a half-day leave for the first time and came to school from the factory.
Kneeling at the door of the class, facing the head teacher, she kowtowed to the cement floor one after another, loudly and loudly. Disgusted with shame,
the head teacher went over and closed the door coldly.
Jiang Nannan took out her cell phone and aimed it at my mother.
That night, a photo gallery called “The poor mother of the thief is really disgusting” was transferred to everyone in QQ space. In the
comments, the scarlet birthmark on my mother’s forehead became the subject of their jokes.
“This woman was caught and beaten while she was stealing. How come all the family are thieves?”
“The old woman is so ugly, how can she have a man who wants her and give birth to a thief’s daughter?”
“Let Li Sike and her mother get out of school and get out of the earth!” There seems to be no right or wrong in
their eyes. They don’t care who is a thief or who bullies whom.
They just want to be lively, just want to unify the direction of the spearhead, and vent their anger and hostility from unknown sources on someone.
Best of all, that person seems to have something wrong, is a real bad guy, is a perfect object to be trampled underfoot.
As for who, who cares? Destroying a man’s life.
As they wished, I dropped out of school.
My mother took me away from the sad place and let me take her surname. She wanted me to live a safe and secure life. She changed my name to Yao An.
It was Yao An, who won the first prize in the county examination the next year. Yao An, CEO of a new science and technology company,
is now on the list of 50 outstanding young people in the city.
Jiang Nannan probably never dreamed that in this life, she would be able to see the “poor thief” who was forced to drop out of school by her.
I can’t imagine.
She deserves to sit in an office with me.
Now, in this senior office building, we are safe and sound.
Standing outside the glass door, taking a deep breath, I pushed the door and entered.
“Yao..” Cheng Lei,
the interviewer, stood up and was about to say the word “total” when I stopped her with a bow.
“Sister Lei, I’m the new intern, Xiao Yao.”
I smiled obsequiously and said, “I left my notebook here during the meeting. May I look for it?”
Cheng Lei didn’t understand but said, “Oh, you’re free..”
Passing by Jiang Nannan, I stood and she sat, looking down at her for the first time, I found that she was so small.
She gave me a contemptuous glance.
Sure enough, after years of separation, I changed so much that she didn’t recognize me.
That look is everywhere in my memory, but now it no longer makes me afraid, only makes me sick.
I “searched” for a while, and Cheng Lei fidgeted, rubbing her hands with trepidation, and said, “Yao..” The word “
total” almost came out again, and I glared at her.
“Little Yao.” “Would you like me to look for it?” She asked softly. “Be careful not to get your skirt dirty.”
“No, don’t look for it.” When I
left the interview room, I heard Chiang Nan-nan laughing behind me. She said to Cheng Lei in an ingratiating manner,
“You can rest assured that when I join the company, I won’t be as unreliable as she is. I won’t be as forgetful as she is. I can’t even manage my notebook well.” As
she spoke, she leaned close to Cheng Lei and said, “An intern, quite vain, with a fake brand name.”
Cheng Lei vented her anger and looked at me in the direction of walking away.
Back in the office, she sent a message complaining.
What garbage? How did you get through the resume?
I chuckled and replied.
[Leave her.]
Turning my chair to the wide, bright French window, I took a hard breath. People who
have lived in the mud and deep canal will cherish it more when they embrace the light.
Now, it’s my turn to put the bully in the mud.
Rule of law society, I want to use the most civilized way, let her eat the bitter fruit, pay off the debt of that year.
Three days later, Jiang Nannan came to report. When
I went to the Ministry of Commerce to ask Cheng Lei for the plan, she just sat on the workstation.
Seeing me, Jiang Nannan immediately got up and greeted me.
“Hey, intern, did you wipe my desk?” Her face is perfectly justified. It’s hard for
me to associate her intern with myself at the moment.
Until passing by, Jiang Nannan pulled me directly.
Ask again, “Can’t you hear me?”? I said, did you wipe the table?
“Ask me?”
I looked around and pointed to myself incredulously.
Or what? You’re an intern, and I’m officially recruited, so shouldn’t you wipe it? Do you know how many times my salary is yours?
Jiang Nannan’s fighting capacity is a hundred times weaker than I imagined. After only ten minutes of talking
publicly about her salary, she broke the company’s red line in black and white in her contract.
But now I’m looking for Cheng.. Sister Lei has a plan for the project.
“Right later.” She didn’t care. She wiped the table with her finger pulp, pulled her neck back in an exaggerated way, and pushed me to her desk. “Wipe first, don’t delay my work.”
I stared at her calmly, and she looked at me with her chin cocked up.
After a while, I nodded, “OK, wait a moment, I’ll get the cloth.”
“Oh, wait!”
She stopped me, grabbed my necklace rudely, and looked at it over and over. “You have a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace. I have one, too.”
“But..” She curled her lips, not knowing what she was thinking. “Mine is real.” She was as coarse and narrow as she had been
years ago, with her eyes on others and her mind stirred by expensive material things.
“Oh, you see.”
I calmly took off the necklace and stuffed it into my pocket.
“I can’t afford a real one. Use this to make up the number. Don’t learn from me. If you go out and be recognized by a client, you’ll be ashamed.”
“Chiang Nan-nan, what are you doing on your first day on the job?”
The voice did not fall, Cheng Lei from the director’s office to see this scene, immediately came out, drink her. When
Chiang Nan-nan saw someone serving food, she immediately became like an old dog: “I’m teaching the interns to work.” Is it your
turn to teach? You do it yourself, see?
Cheng Lei looked at her and suddenly sneered,
“As it happens, our company has a habit that when new people enter the company, they have to start by wiping the table.”. When we do business, we should cultivate the spirit of service.
Chiang Nan-nan’s face turned from red to blue. Ignoring her,
Cheng Lei pointed to the two rows of tables and said, “Before I get off work, I’ll wipe them all. Tomorrow I’ll hand in a report and tell everyone what I’ve learned about wiping the tables.”
After that, she added, “Director Yao likes you very much. Don’t let her down.”
Cheng Lei squinted at me and smiled, and I gave her a hard look. After
watching the play, I turned to go.
When Cheng Lei was acting, she stopped me and said, “Where are you going, Xiao Yao?”? Come to my office and I’ll check with you on the plan.
Jiang Nannan stared at me and was scolded by her: “What are you looking at?”? It’s only the first day of probation, so get to work! It seems that she put
this account on my head. Who cares,
though.
As soon as she stepped into the director’s office, Cheng Lei immediately changed her face, bowed and smiled like a flower.
“Director Yao, please sit down.” She offered to pull out the chair for me.
“Is Director Yao’s water temperature OK?”
“Director Yao, is the sun shining in your eyes? Would you like to draw the curtains?”
“Director Yao, would you like to see my business plan?”
I narrowed my eyes, raised my chin, and Cheng Lei knowingly opened the PPT.
She is a veteran of the Ministry of Commerce. I believe that her plans can satisfy customers. I also believe that she already knows what to do about Jiang Nannan.
The next day at work, Jiang Nannan had a shiny Van Cleef & Arpels around her neck. Wherever
she went, her hands touched the pendant for fear that someone would not see it.
Except at noon, I heard her hiding in the toilet and talking on the phone in an anxious and flustered tone.
Don’t rush it! I’ve already found a job, and I’m doing well. It costs tens of thousands of yuan a month. I won’t be unable to pay you back!
Her payroll is five thousand and five hundred, and I signed it personally.
After a while, the female voice in the toilet was suddenly weak again: “.” No, no, no, please, don’t call my mother.. After
begging for mercy, Jiang Nannan came out of the inner room and saw me washing my hands. After a
strange look in my eyes from top to bottom, she suddenly picked up her cell phone and sent a voice message spontaneously.
Every word is sonorous and forceful. When will I pay back the tens of thousands of yuan I
owe? Everyone else has come to urge me! I have a good family condition and a high salary. I am not poor in money, but you can’t keep dragging me.
Hey, show me. It’s really not necessary.
I smiled and walked away without saying a word.
“You stop!” She shouted behind her, three points of fear, seven points of exasperation.
When I ignored her, she ran up and grabbed my coat.
I stared at her hand. “Let go. You can’t afford to break it.”
A niche brand’s autumn launch has just been customized, not to mention the high price, and the construction period has to wait for three months.
What is it? I’ve never seen a brand before, and they don’t sell it in the mall!
I peeled off her fingers one by one and turned away.
In the afternoon, when I went to find Cheng Lei, I put my clothes on the seat beside Jiang Nannan’s workstation. When
I came back, sure enough, there was a large piece of ink that could not be washed off, and there were signature refills scattered beside it.
The perpetrator turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
It’s the same as in the high school classroom many years ago.
My clothes, pencil bags and schoolbags were painted wantonly by the girls headed by Jiang Nannan.
And I couldn’t afford to change, so I had to carry a schoolbag full of “Little Bitch” and “Big Silly B” and endure their ridicule into the classroom.
I have a bad spine, because from then on, I kept my head down forever.
But this time, it may be different. The price of
this coat is more than Jiang Nannan’s foreign debt, which is enough to make her already bad life worse.
But I’m not in a hurry.
Climbing high and falling heavily, the river flows out, and there will be an avalanche sooner or later, which is enough for her to do her evil.
A few days later, on a weekday night, Cheng Lei sent me a message that was a screenshot of Jiang Nannan’s circle of friends. Here
she is holding a bouquet of flowers, beaming at the back of a Palamera.
The caption reads: “Boyfriend’s gift, Eustoma grandiflorum, flower language is always the same love.”
I’m really speechless. What is
she showing off?
It was clearly Bulgaria roses, and the flower language was first love.
Palamera’s license plate number is 0607, which is my birthday.
No one knows this car owner better than I do.
Tang Xiao, he chased me for half a year, a bunch of Bulgaria roses every day, can not civilize me to refuse his heart as firm as a rock.
In order to show my attitude, I also personally ordered that no one in the company should receive Tang Xiao’s flowers, or even Bulgaria roses into the company’s door.
In Jiang Nannan’s circle of friends, this infatuated tall, rich and handsome man has become her “consistent” boyfriend. When she went to work
the next day, she even took the rose to her workstation and inserted it in the most prominent place. Colleagues
around looked askance.
Chiang Nan-nan doesn’t know why, but she still keeps bragging: “It’s a gift from my boyfriend. It’s precious. It’s very difficult to order. It’s all sprinkled with gold foil.”
This.. Director Yao has said before that the company does not allow this variety of flowers to be released.
She smiled and rolled her eyes: Director Yao? She is too old to be pursued by a man, so she doesn’t like our young people to fall in love. It’s called the general manager. Why can’t it be an old woman in her forties? Besides, when I joined the company, she said she liked me.
Seeing me, the “old woman” who “liked her,” just passing by, the crowd dispersed in a hubbub.
Only Chiang Nan-nan was left to take care of the flowers, muttering,
“My boyfriend is my senior in high school. I’ve known him for ten years, and his family runs a company.”
No one listens, but it doesn’t interfere with her performance.
Even when our CEO sees him, he has to bow 90 degrees respectfully! When we get married, I won’t have to go out to work, and I won’t care about her general rules.
Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao, do you know you are so imposing in other people’s mouth?
“Then why haven’t you got married yet? It can’t be because you haven’t got your contact information yet, can it?” When I
passed by her, I made a casual joke, which made her face red.
“You’re wearing a fake. Why are you so sour?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I don’t deserve to be sour. I invite him to come to the company when I have time.”
I smiled. “I want to see the CEO bow 90 degrees to him.”
Later, Jiang Nannan’s flowers were put into insects and thrown away by the cleaning aunt.
She actually went to the cleaning room and asked people to pay for the gold foil on her flowers.
Make the whole building known to everyone, and lose face all over the place.
Seven
days later, Tang Xiao’s car was still parked downstairs on time. There was Bulgaria roses on
the copilot, and when he couldn’t wait for me, he threw them into the trash can on the side of the road.
Day after day.
I watched upstairs every day, but I never appeared in front of him. It was
also at this time that Cheng Lei was gnawing at an important partner, and it was Tang Xiao’s company. Could
this be a coincidence?
Ghosts don’t believe it!
Cheng Lei invited him to talk about cooperation again and again, and Tang Xiao has been in and out of my company since then.
And I, the CEO, was running around in my own company.
“Senior, let me invite you to dinner at noon.” On the
contrary, Chiang Nan-nan loves to show her face in front of his eyes and is very gallant. “I’ve been raising that bunch of roses for two weeks.”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao finally had a little more expression on his face without any waves.
He stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said with a touch of boredom, “You didn’t throw?”
Why throw it! The flowers are blooming so well that I like them very much!
Tang Xiao turned the wristwatch in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and left.
Jiang Nannan followed
all the way: Senior, we haven’t seen each other for many years. The last time I met you downstairs, you just asked me to help throw the flowers, but you didn’t catch up with me. Today we have a chance to talk about whether we can work together. We can talk about our feelings.
With an eager look on her face, she stares at the indifferent Tang Xiao, the “boyfriend” who lives in her circle of friends.
At the same time, I came out of the conference room and bumped into Don Shaw.
His eyes lit up.
I quickly turned my back and pretended not to see it, and laughed awkwardly with the assistant beside me.
“Ann..” Tang Xiaocai didn’t let me get what I wanted and called me. Faster
than my feet. Annoyed,
he shouted out my name in front of Chiang Nan-nan: “Yao An, stop!” Bad things for
men!
I stopped, turned around, and laughed shyly.
He was getting closer and closer, and I was finally quick-witted: “Mr. Tang, are you looking for our CEO, Director Yao?”? She’s just gone. You can catch up with her in the elevator now.
Tang Xiao was silent and looked at me steadily, as if seeking some answer.
Moments later, he cooperatively walked past me. “I see.”
His handsome face darkened, and even his eyelashes were lonely, which made people feel a little distressed for no reason. Jiang Nannan was
left looking around like a fool: “Which one is Director Yao? What does he look like?”? How old are you? At noon on
the same day, Jiang Nannan deleted the last circle of friends with the momentum of thunder and replaced it with a self-portrait close-up with Van Cleef & Arpels.
Caption: “It’s a gift from my father. It’s not easy to make money. I specifically told him to send a cheaper one and donate the money saved to the children in the welfare home.”
Suddenly pretending to be a socialite.
It seems that she finally got Tang Xiao’s contact information this time.
Actually, it’s not that I don’t like Don Shaw.
On the contrary, I don’t think I’m good enough for him. I don’t deserve it
from the bottom of my heart.
Jiang Nannan big talk, not worth listening to, but only one sentence, I remember now.
“You don’t even deserve to be a dog for Don Shaw.” In
high school, she stepped on my face and said so.
Tang Xiao is my senior. Besides, he has another identity.
His father is a famous philanthropist in our local area. In the name of Tang Xiao, he donated many poor children to study.
I am one of them, and the one who reads it best.
Tang Xiao was two years older than me. During the summer vacation when I was a sophomore in high school, he went to a famous university in Beijing as he wished.
He used to shine into my world like the sky.
So after he left, the light also left, and my life was stormy and dark, and the night was dark.
Later, Jiang Nannan began to bully me crazily and unscrupulously. The first time
she hit me, she hit me in the eye with the heel of her shoe until it was black and blue and swollen into a seam.
She was finally satisfied: “a natural Sao, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, seduces Tang Hsiao.”. I’ll beat you up and see who you seduce again!
In fact, a few days ago, I also asked her why she always aimed at me when she had never met before.
She said she was born to hate people who have peach blossom eyes and seduce men. After
hitting me in the eye, he kicked me in the stomach and beat my calf with a branch.
When she was tired, she stepped on my head and said that from now on, all her life, she would trample me under her feet. Jiang Nannan was only sixteen years old
that year. What could she know for a lifetime? I was only sixteen years old
that year.
But I have learned that no one can protect anyone, and people have to become strong themselves.
I seem to be strong enough now, but in the face of Tang Xiao’s love, I am still as weak as an ostrich.
I still remember that summer vacation, when Tang Xiao went to Beijing, I peeped at him in the crowd outside the railway station.
He caught a glimpse of me as if he had been waiting for me for a long time.
The crowd was noisy, and the thin teenager shouted at the top of his voice that he was waiting for me in Beijing and asked me to go to him.
His eyes were full of hope and longing.
But when I really got the county champion and was qualified to stand side by side with him, I would rather give up Qingbei and choose a college in Shanghai.
I just don’t think I deserve it.
Do not deserve to love him, do not deserve to stand with him, that kind of inferiority engraved in the bone, deep into the blood. Whether it’s
wealth or the title of CEO, where can it be washed away?
Cramp and pull out the bone, wash it clean. When I went to work
the next day and waited for the elevator, I heard the girls from the Ministry of Commerce talking about Jiang Nannan.
Some people said that she borrowed two hundred yuan and didn’t pay it back, some people said that she escaped the bill for dinner, and some people said that she was so rustic that she bought a big brand lipstick with expired discount, or Barbie powder.
Upstairs, I came face to face with the “center of conversation.”.
Recently, I have frequent communication with Cheng Lei. My office is upstairs. In order to facilitate communication with the Ministry of Commerce, I temporarily set up a workstation opposite Jiang Nannan.
“Hello, Yao Keke.”
She stopped me. It was a name I made up for her.
“Grandma Xiang’s bag on your desk. I used it last night when I met with a client.”
She’s not asking. She’s informing.
I’m noncommittal.
Chiang Nan-nan laughs dryly, and rarely praises others: “The workmanship is quite similar, and the client asked me where I ordered the limited edition, but she didn’t see that it was a fake.”
I thank her for Grandma Xiang. If
Cheng Lei knew that when she was on vacation abroad, the bag she bought after waiting for three hours in the early morning was said to be fake, she would probably be angry.
I sat down at my desk and said, “You can use my things as you like.”
“So what? We’re all colleagues. You’ll need a lot of meat if you use it.”
“I’m afraid you’ll lose a piece of meat if you use something you shouldn’t. Don’t do that again.”
“Che.” She rolled her eyes.
Jiang Nannan this person, really does not need the human to think of the way to deal with her specially, she lives in the loophole.
“Oh, by the way, I have an appointment with Tang Xiao for dinner tonight.” Out
of the blue, she mentioned Tang Xiao’s name in an ostentatious tone.
I said “oh” quietly.
Afraid that I didn’t know, she went out of her way to emphasize,
“It’s the Tang manager that Sister Lei can’t handle, and the supplier that the company is talking about working with recently is his family.”. Ah, but people treat me differently. We’ve been in love for ten years.
To be honest, I’m surprised, too.
Tang Xiao used to be as cold as squatting in the atmosphere, only when he chased me, he wished he could be low in the dust.
Why did you suddenly add the contact information of Jiang Nannan, a pheasant, and be willing to have dinner with her?
She chattered, “Tang Xiao is going to drive a Porsche to pick me up in person. Tell me, if Sister Lei knows about this, she won’t be able to rush me to the car.”
Beautiful, Jiang Nannan just thought about it and laughed out loud. It would be impolite to keep silent
any longer. I finally opened my mouth and was very cooperative: “Last time, the Lisianthus was not also a gift from President Tang, was it?”
“Hey, what’s a Lisianthus? This four-leaf clover necklace is also from him.”
She pinched it casually and touched the Van Cleef & Arpels which was about to be covered with slurry.
“Huh?”
I pretended to be puzzled. “But this is not your father..”
In a flash, Jiang Nannan’s lips froze and her face suddenly turned white and red.
Laugh to death.
It seems that I was the one who slipped through the net when her circle of friends was grouped.
That.. That. That’s the other one. I have a lot of big brand jewelry, and if you buy a fake, of course you can’t tell the difference between them!
With that, Jiang Nannan fled. On the afternoon of
October 10
, after dealing with the business affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, I returned to the CEO’s office. Before I
left, I happened to be in the company’s inventory, and some jewelry was placed on the workstation opposite Jiang Nannan. I didn’t have time to take it into the warehouse, leaving only a “company assets” sign. When I went to see it again in the
evening, my heart sank.
It is expected, but it is still worrying. The only valuable item
inside, a sapphire necklace with a price tag of 180,000, was missing from the box.
Who took it? I have a guess in my mind.
After all, for Jiang Nannan, there may be no occasion, than to see the male God senior who has been away for many years, more need external things as a platoon, to fill the vanity of deep desire.
The next morning, Jiang Nannan came to work with a white face.
“When you left last night, did you see a sapphire necklace over here?”
I was managing these things, and when I saw her coming, I asked.
Sure enough, there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.
“Why are you asking me?” She rarely has a weak voice.
“Thought you’d know.”
Jiang Nannan suddenly jumped away like an electric shock, pointing at me, staring into a copper bell.
Don’t frame people! Yao Keke, if you don’t like the company’s things, don’t try to blame others! You lost it, so pay for it yourself!
I didn’t say anything, and Jiang Nannan was annoyed first.
She grinned stiffly, as if to embolden herself:
“You’re finished. You’re an intern. Can you afford it?”? Do you know how expensive that necklace is?
“Yes..”
I took a breath and stood up calmly. “I can only go to the security room to check the surveillance.”
“Prison..” Monitor? Is there surveillance here?
Through her thin skirt, I saw that her back was sweating through. When I
passed by her, I also saw her deep dark circles under her eyes, her oily nose, and her rough pores.
Last night, for Jiang Nannan, I’m afraid it was not a dream date with the male God, but a sleepless night that made her exhausted.
Suddenly, a cold hand clasped my arm with a fine shaking.
“Don’t go.”
Jiang Nannan sent out a trill with an empty voice, and this time, she finally had a little tone of begging.
“If something so expensive were to be lost, I wouldn’t be able to pay for it.”
I pushed her hand away.
Don’t.. Yao Keke, don’t go..
She ran after him again. “Isn’t it just a necklace? If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you. No one knows I lost it.”. Don’t worry, I won’t give you up. Let’s just forget about it.
I stopped and just looked at her.
Enjoying her silent collapse with an expressionless face, she is like a bunch of Bulgaria roses that have failed, rotten, withered, desperate and ugly. I was the same way when I was trampled on my face by
her feet. I did the same when
she doused me with coffee that only “rich people” could afford. Why didn’t she forget
the song with me? Tired of
watching, I pushed her away and made light of it.
“I can’t. The warehouse has records. We have to find out who was the last person to take the necklace.” When I
pushed her, I found that she was so light, weak and vulnerable.
Jiang Nannan didn’t stop me again. I
lost my soul and couldn’t take a step.
It was not until I had gone more than ten paces that she suddenly shouted behind me, “Stop!”
She was hysterical, with a voice in her chest and a ferocious roar, like a wild beast.
One after another, “Don’t go!”! Stop! Don’t go! I said don’t go!
The noisy office was suddenly silent, leaving only Jiang Nannan’s panting after going mad. Some of the
busy colleagues looked around, some bowed their heads, and fell into silence.
I turned around. “Why not?”
Times have changed, and it’s my turn to ask her.
“Because you stole it?” The
great noise finally startled the colleagues in the personnel department.
And Cheng Lei, who is talking about cooperation in the conference room, and my dear partner, Tang Xiao.
Seeing me being pestered, Tang Xiao stepped forward quickly and pulled me behind him to protect me.
“Are you all right?”
I avoided his concerned eyes, but stood beside him honestly. After
a brief understanding, Cheng Lei looked embarrassed, and when she saw me nodding slightly, she made a decisive gesture to the people.
“Call the police.”
Jiang Nannan suddenly turned pale, pulled Cheng Lei’s sleeve, and squeezed out a very ugly smile.
No.. That’s not necessary. Sister Lei, aren’t you always the most protective of Xiao Yao? If the police are really attracted, it won’t be easy for Xiao Yao to lose something.
To this day, she is still acting. The
performance made everyone frown frequently, but he was convinced.
Cheng Lei shook off Jiang Nannan in disgust and said, “If you go to see the surveillance, you will know who lost it.”. Besides..
She finished with a drawl and looked at me like a request.
I smiled indifferently.
“Besides, don’t say a necklace..”
Cheng Lei pointed at me and went on with a sneer. “Xiao Yao, even if she lost ten, lost a hundred, no, even if she lost the whole warehouse, even if she lost this office building, even if she threw me out now, even if she threw Mr. Tang out, there would be no bad ending.”
Tang Xiao cleared his throat. He didn’t want to be thrown out.
Jiang Nannan doesn’t understand.
The elm brain turned red melon seeds, her frowning brows suddenly loosened, and even surprise and hope emerged.
She grinned and pointed to herself. What about me? What about me, sister Lei? If I had lost it, would I have let it go? Instead of answering her,
Cheng Lei raised her chin and said
, “Call the police.”. In any case, surveillance cameras can take pictures, and if the company really has a thief, it’s up to the court to decide.
“Don’t call the police, don’t call the police!”
To no avail, she begged Tang Hsiao again, “Senior, senior, talk to me..”
Don Shaw took a step back. “Don’t let me see you yell at her again, understand?”
“What?”
“I don’t have her good temper. I do things directly, and I’m not human.”
Tang Hsiao lowered his head and turned his wristwatch. He didn’t even bother to look at her. “As for now, you should have begged me not to talk.”
He spoke softly, but said that Jiang Nannan had a few more layers of sweat.
Tang Xiao must have seen Jiang Nannan sitting in his Porsche wearing a sapphire necklace, but he didn’t have to say it. Surveillance as evidence is stronger than anything else.
What’s more, at this moment, his eyes only stopped at my palm, clenching his back teeth at the knife marks that could no longer disappear.
Jiang Nannan has no way out.
Seeing this, she finally admitted,
“Yes, I tried on the necklace yesterday, and then it disappeared inexplicably. I don’t know how I lost it.” But I’m not, I’m really not a thief..
Cheng Lei is indifferent.
“If it’s not up to us, the police will investigate.”
Entanglement reached an impasse until..
“Flop!” In full view of
the public, no one expected that Jiang Nannan knelt down with a bang.
“Please, please..” Every time
she begged, she would knock on the marble floor.
“If I call the police, I’ll ruin it. My life will be ruined. 180,000. That necklace is 180,000. I can’t afford to sell it.”
Finally, this time, it was Jiang Nannan’s turn to kneel down.
I’ve been waiting ten years for this day.
An entire office was breathlessly staring at the outrageous scene.
They are excited, curious, restrained, they whisper, hide their faces and laugh, and they treat it all as a comedy or a few words of conversation. I am so familiar with
this scene.
At that time, my mother knelt and kowtowed outside the classroom, and there were people laughing and making trouble in the inner room.
She made so much noise and knocked so loudly.
Everyone looked sideways, wanted to look but dared not, but I stared at my mother. The scarlet birthmark on her
forehead followed her movements up and down, like a knife rising and falling, to my heart.
But in the end, the mother did not knock the pity of the head teacher, only knocked her own face, knocked into a popular photo album in the space, knocked lost her job, and had to go far away.
To this day, with the passage of time, she was born early, but still could not escape the midnight dream, thinking of the abuse and ridicule of that year, screaming to wake up, heart in the throat of a hard bump.
She lived on sleeping pills, and once she “accidentally” took dozens more.
I went to press her throat, and she grabbed my hand and apologized to me: “Nannan, it’s all my mother’s fault that she’s useless, that she has no money, that she’s not the director of the teaching office, that she has this ugly birthmark..”
No, Jiang Nannan is not like my mother!
She brought it on herself, she was the one who started it!
Finally, Jiang Nannan, kneeling, told the whole story of the necklace.
“I’m really vain. I was going to borrow it, wear it to see my upperclassman, and return it today..”
“But I didn’t expect that the chain was not firm, and I didn’t know where it had fallen, and suddenly it was gone..”
“I went back to look for it later. I looked for several roads, but I couldn’t find it.”
“Believe me, I’m not a thief..”
Once, I said I was not a thief.
But the blackboard eraser still hit me on the bridge of my nose, and the withdrawal notice was delivered to my home the next day.
You’re not a thief? Impossible.
I pushed aside Tang Xiao and walked up to her.
“It’s like the’thief ‘you outsmarted in high school. Everyone said she was a thief. How could she not be a thief?”
High School.. Everyone said?
She chattered, then slapped her forehead. “Yes, but she’s not a thief, and neither am I!”! Someone set her up! In this case, someone must be trying to frame me!
Tang Xiao suddenly became nervous: “Who?”? Who did you frame? He seemed to want to hear
the answer from her mouth more than I did.
Jiang Nannan’s eyes were full of fear.
After a long time, she forced out a sentence: “Senior, if I tell you the truth about when Li Sike dropped out of school, you will help me and not let them call the police to arrest me, right?”
Tang Hsiao gritted his teeth and his face darkened. “Who framed her?”
「…… Am I right? Senior, right?
She just seemed to grasp at straws and asked again and again.
I promised her for Tang Xiao: “If you answer Tang’s question, Tang will be satisfied, and no one in this company will embarrass you.”
“Really?”
Cheng Lei nodded wittily: “Really.”
Yes.. At that time, someone framed her and stuffed two hundred yuan into her schoolbag.
Donshaw stared at her without saying a word. It was obvious that this was not the complete truth he wanted to hear. After
a long silence, Jiang Nannan closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.
It’s me! I framed Li Sike. She wasn’t a thief. She was never a thief!
“Apologise to her.” I ordered.
Jiang Nannan raised his head in disbelief.
“Chiang Nan-nan, listen carefully. I won’t say it again.”
I said, “Apologize to Li Sike and her mother.”. Tell them one by one what you have done, and then apologize to them piously. When
Jiang Nannan said, a mobile phone was raised around him.
Everyone consciously turned on the mute, and there would be no more crackling shutter sound.
Only when she talked about how to maliciously spread my mother’s kneeling video on the Internet, the crowd gasped from time to time.
「…… I apologize to Li Sike and Li Sike’s mother. I’m really sorry for ruining their lives.
Listening to her say the last sentence, I feel relieved, relieved is a breath of ten years, dirty, suffocating, it is depressed in the heart, almost with me for life.
I have kept her and endured her to this day. What I want is never revenge. She doesn’t deserve it. What
I want is that the truth that no one cares about is made public, and that I finally have the ability to reconcile with myself.
“Well, go back. No one will call the police.”
“Really?”
I looked down at Jiang Nannan, who was kneeling on the ground, and my tone was calm and unbearable.
“The company will discuss how to deal with this matter. You will come three days later at ten o’clock in the morning and inform you of the final plan.”
She got up and ran away.
Running out a few steps, Jiang Nannan thought of something, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at me over and over again.
A kind of spontaneous fear gradually enveloped her and stopped her breathing.
You.. Who are you?
She asked.
But she doesn’t deserve an answer. After
Jiang Nannan escaped, my whole body softened down in an instant.
Tang Xiao’s eyes are quick and his hands are quick to hold me. As alway,
I dodged his glare.
“You invited Chiang Nan-nan to dinner last night just to find out about my dropping out of school, right?”
“Mmm.”
Tang Xiao grinned to himself. “I’m really useless, Ann.”. It takes ten years to figure out one thing.
Decade. Is
ten years really a long time? It will take
me ten years to get out of the shadow of bullying.
But how lucky am I?
How many people, because of a bullying, have to carry physical and mental scars all day long, throughout their lives, can not get rid of.
There are people, they do not have ten years, their lives forever stopped in a sunny afternoon, obviously young moxa, but it is the end of the time. Bullies, on the
other hand, grow up safe and sound, and then disappear into the sea of people, easily writing off numerous evil deeds.
I’m not a virgin. I don’t agree.
At noon, Cheng Lei came to me and said, “How am I going to ask her to pay for that sapphire necklace?”
“Forget it.”
“Oh?”? One hundred and eighty thousand, let it go?
She leaned over my desk, arched her nose and smiled without the slightest surprise.
I bet Cheng Lei knew what I wanted to do from the first day. She assisted just right and had a sense of proportion.
“Well, forget it.”
Yes, a string of imitations that the anchor accidentally broke cost a few hundred yuan. If our Director Yao is still looking for someone to lose money, the situation is really not big enough.
Cheng Lei raised her voice and broke my little trick. Two days
ago, I found that the chain of the imitation sapphire necklace commonly used by the anchor was broken and often fell off by itself.
The fake necklace was originally a display sample we made to prevent the real thing from being lost. Although it was cheap, it looked like a real sharp jewelry.
And then, what did I do?
I didn’t do anything but put it on my temporary workstation.
But this is enough, enough Jiang Nannan was killed by his vanity.
She always laughed at me for being a fake, but in the end, she ended up on my only “fake.”.
Three days later, Jiang Nannan came to the company to accept the results.
She was accompanied by her mother.
Yes, that’s the “powerful” dean of academic affairs we used to have.
In front of Jiang Nannan was my suit that she had splashed ink on, as well as the relevant compensation bill.
There is also a list of her various violations in the company.
The most excessive one is that she has embezzled seven thousand yuan of company funds and has not returned it yet.
That was the day I was in the bathroom when I heard the call.
“Director Yao said that the matter of the necklace should be settled for the time being, and you don’t have to pay for it.”
Cheng Lei sat upright in the boss’s chair and looked at people with her chin.
Jiang Nannan almost laughed out of tears.
“However, we have saved the surveillance and relevant evidence, and we still reserve the right to hold you accountable.”
Jiang Nannan’s mother did not eat this, she twisted her eyebrows to read the document several times, and then threw it on the table.
“I’ve seen it. It’s nothing important.”
“Nannan is still a child. You are such a big company, so don’t haggle with her.”
What a twenty-six-year-old kid.
She twisted up my dress again and said, “Can this be more than forty thousand?”? What clothes are so expensive to sell, and there’s no gold to weave them? If you go on cheating our Nannan like this, I’ll sue you for blackmail!
“Be my guest.” Cheng Lei smiled and waved her hand.
“Well, I’ll tell you the number, and I’ll get rid of all these things.”
Chiang Nan-nan’s mother held out five fingers without hesitation. “Five thousand.”
Are you kidding me? That’s not all she took from the company. In theory, if she does not return it for more than three months, she needs to bear criminal responsibility.
“Mom..”
Unexpectedly, Chiang Nan-nan first grabbed her mother by the hem of her coat and said, “Be nice, in case they want to call the police again.”
Jiang Nannan put on a smiling face and said flatteringly, “Sister Lei, I’ve been working for a while and I’ve made a lot of contributions to the company.”. Didn’t you say before that Director Yao liked me very much? Can you let me intercede with her and not care too much?
Cheng Lei raised her eyebrows, amused and delighted: “Do you want to see Director Yao?”
“Yes, yes, I hear she’s very nice.”
In her mouth, Director Yao is not an old woman.
“At your level..” Cheng Lei smirked disdainfully and bit the last four words: “Far from being worthy.” Then
she looked down at her watch and said, “But not today either.”. Today, Director Yao went dating with Mr. Tang.
Hearing this, Chiang Nan-nan looked seriously disappointed and muttered in a low voice, “How could a senior like an old woman?”
Jiang Nannan’s mother and daughter did not enter until Cheng Lei called the lawyer to ask for the legal process.
Jiang Nannan mother has not seen a lawyer, a listen to what the police, what the court, although the legs are weak, but still clamoring.
Finally, simply pull Jiang Nannan to run away.
Passing by the office area, he kicked a glass cabinet in anger.
After all, although this compensation is not much, only tens of thousands, it is enough to make Jiang Nannan’s debt-ridden economic situation worse. Only then did
I discover that once, the identity of the daughter of the director of the teaching office made Jiang Nannan act as a tyrant in that small school.
But in fact, she is just a county girl who grew up in a fourth-tier city.
Before she became an adult, she had never seen the world, had never been to Disney or the cinema, took the high-speed rail was a thing worth bragging about, and McDonald’s was a top meal.
It turned out that the mountain that almost crushed me in my life was just a tiny dust. When I
went downstairs, Jiang Nannan saw me at the gate of the company.
He immediately stepped forward and said in a strange voice, “Fake spirit, are you proud of forcing me to leave?”
I don’t want to talk to her at all, because the person I’m waiting for has arrived.
A familiar Porsche stopped at the door of the office building, and Tang Xiao stepped out.
For the first time, I took Bulgaria roses from his hand.
Jiang Nannan stared in surprise, looked at him, and then looked at me, the old woman.
“Come on, Ann, get in the car.”
I took a step back and stressed, “Let’s start with Tang Xiao. I’m not promising you anything. Don’t think too much. I’m just going to your company to talk about cooperation with you.”
“I know.” Tang Hsiao laughed, not knowing what to laugh about. “Please, Director Yao.”
One side Jiang Nannan Wen Yan’s chin almost fell off, pointing at me with one hand, repeating with a lisp.
You.. You. You are Yao An. General Manager Yao? No, it’s impossible! You are not Director Yao. You’re Yao Keke, you’re intern Yao Keke!
When I ignored her, she grabbed me. He was
quickly thrown away by Tang Xiao, took my hand and sent me into the car first, and closed the door.
“I understand, I understand everything!”
Jiang Nannan does not give up, she suddenly guffaw more than, more terrible than crying, like zombies fiercely patted the car door.
It was you, you set it up, you set me up! You deliberately set up a trap and went round and round in order to kill me!
“Chiang Nan-nan, no one has made up layers upon layers of elaborate and unsolvable traps for you to lure you into the urn.”
I rolled down the window, and I wanted her to hear it for real.
On the contrary, I did nothing. I even set up barriers on your way to the urn. Is your own, one by one, must fall into, you want to blame the person who advised you? Don’t you blame yourself?
“Who are you? Why are you doing this? Who are you?”
Her hair was dishevelled, and she asked in babble.
But no one answered her again.
Tang Xiao started the car, Jiang Nannan lost his mind in the back chase, after a few steps fell to the ground, hammer to the ground crying.
Like a child of twenty-six.
16
Later, we initiated legal proceedings.
At the same time, Jiang Nannan tried to find several jobs one after another, but when those companies were back to tune, they were persuaded to quit by the numerous evil deeds she left here.
Helplessly, her mother took her back to the county where I grew up.
But everything, already can not go back. The video of Jiang Nannan kneeling down to apologize in the company
that day was posted on the Internet by someone.
The county is so big, soon spread to everyone, Jiang Nannan door dare not go out.
The incident also involved her mother’s violation of giving students test papers in private, which led to her losing her job as dean of academic affairs.
The matter is not over, in fact, Jiang Nannan early in the morning owed a net loan, interest rolling interest, has become a snowball she can not afford.
Later, in order to keep up with the Joneses, she bought Van Cleef & Arpels necklaces and luxury bags, which made her debt index rise.
Heard that those debt collectors chased her door, Jiang Nannan ran away, but her mother did not run away, when she turned over the window, she broke a leg.
But she couldn’t run anywhere, and soon a summons from the court was sent to her. What
she has to bear is not only a sum of compensation, but also the criminal responsibility of misappropriating funds.
No one wants to ruin her life, except herself.
My mother also saw the video of Jiang Nannan’s apology. She kept quiet and waved her hand and said that it had been so many years and she had forgotten it. Why did she still do this.
But since then, I have never heard her sit up in the middle of the night screaming, never seen sleeping pills.
She made up, not with the abuser, but with her own scar.
Then everything I do makes sense.
Soon after, I received an invitation.
It’s the high school where I have too many negative memories. In the letter,
the headmaster said earnestly that they had withdrawn the medal of virtue awarded to Jiang Nannan ten years ago and the decision to order me to drop out of school.
They have repeatedly apologized to me for the injustice I have suffered, and they still hope to be forgiven by me despite the passage of time.
And invited me back to school to speak as an outstanding graduate.
I agree to keep the appointment.
Even if I know, they are not sincere, but it is a big thing, and I happen to be successful. In
this decade, I am by no means the first victim, nor the last. In the
auditorium, the children below were my age ten years ago. Some of
them are also suffering from bad things, the wind and rain are dark, the sun and the moon are not clear.
In the future, it will take infinite time to smooth away the pain.
Life is not the network Shuang Wen, they can not wait for the rich and powerful parents, can not wait for the prince from the sky, no one else can shoulder the responsibility of redemption.
But one day.
“The light of the sky will light up your life again, and you are the light of the sky.”
This is the last sentence of my speech.
