Chapter 515 Her Desire to Perform
I have never been a person who can tolerate others
On the contrary, I knew the law of the jungle from a young age. In my childhood without parental protection, I often had to take the initiative to seize opportunities
I had been tolerant of July's behavior before, not because I didn't want to cause trouble, but because I knew clearly that I had become the strong one in the "survival of the fittest" now. I didn't want to use this advantage to personally ruin her future
But at this moment, I heard those absurd comments being spoken by colleagues whom I
had only recently met, and it was then that I truly realized the damage July had done to my reputation
If I let this matter continue to ferment, the eventual result could very well be that my colleagues from other departments at Meiling Company would start to oppose me, even the entire R&D department
This is a devastating blow to both my personal career and the overall development of the company
No company is willing to continue to let a person burdened with conflicts hold a leadership position. I may soon lose my perfect job, and even after this matter is known, I will not be able to work in any industry-related organization
By then, no one would care whether those rumors were true or false. Sometimes people just need an outlet for their emotions, and when rumors are spread too much, the truth becomes less important
But why should I become that outlet for venting?
For the sake of July's future?
Joke, if this continues, my future will be at stake. Iam not some god who 1s willing to bear all her sins
So this time, I couldn't hold back and walked directly into the pantry, stopping in front of the girl who was just telling other colleagues about how I bullied the intern. I glanced at the ID badge hanging around her neck
"Lily Lemon, a lovely name, but not so lovely when it comes to speaking. Oh... you're a colleague from the technical department, so I guess I know where you heard these rumors from. Have we had any previous interactions?"
Miss Lily was clearly frightened by my
straightforward statement. She stammered and shook her head when I asked her once again if she had ever had any deep interaction with me
"No... no, I just joined the company half a month ago, so I didn't know you before."
"Is that so? From what you just said, I thought you knew me well." I chuckled instead of getting angry, casually placing the coffee cup back in front of the machine and pressing a button for another cup of espresso
"Next time, if you have any opinions or
suggestions for me, you can come directly to my office to raise them. I was a very patient person and could accept criticism very well. However, the prerequisite is that your criticism should be reasonable and well-founded, and your suggestions should be implementable
Otherwise, I will consider all of you as spreading rumors and defamation, and have the right to pursue your legal responsibilities."
As the sound of the coffee machine came to a halt, my words also came to an end
Just now, the few girls who were just listening to Lily telling them about my "exploits" were all holding their breath and focusing. After I picked up the cup of concentrated tea and left the tea room, none of them dared to say a word and quietly returned to their own workstations
And coincidentally, when I was leaving, I
happened to come across July standing outside the door, who was flipping through some materials. She must have heard what I just said in the pantry, and at this moment, she probably didn't even read half a letter in the book, staring blankly in the direction I came out, not knowing what she was thinking
When I looked at her, she reflexively made way and quickly averted her gaze from me
Such actions clearly showed how much she feared me in front of the people around. I sneered and deliberately didn't ignore her like I did a few days ago. Instead, I took two steps forward and called out her name
"July, you're the same. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can say it to my face instead of looking so aggrieved after I simply asked you to go to the office to deliver a
laboratory sample. I believe I have never made things difficult for you anywhere, so I came here specifically to ask you to explain why I have made you so uncomfortable."
With the emotional boost I just had in the pantry, I am now even more confident. July, whether she wanted to fully embody the image of a bullied intern or she was genuinely scared by my tone, didn't dare to even lift her eyes. She even started shaking her head pitifully, saying that she didn't have it
Several colleagues quickly approached, wanting to persuade me. But the more people there were, the more July seemed to be inspired to perform, as if she really felt oppressed by me but didn't dare to say it. It made me feel annoyed, and I was about to tell her not to play this game in front of me anymore when I heard a clear and melodious male voice from behind:
"Olive, please come with me to the office."
