700 -316: Crossing New Year’s Eve with Tao Tian_3
Workplace harassment is a common occurrence, whether around Zhou Yuwen or elsewhere; harassment is inevitable, even in future jobs.
In these recent part-time gigs, there are always men coming over to ask for contact information.
Minmin says it’s all Qu Jing’s intentional way of messing with us!
“Tiantian, we’ve been roommates with Jingjing for three years, and now that she’s made it, shouldn’t she at least get us a manager position of some sort?
Instead, she made us stand as promoters!
Hmpf, if I had known she would be this heartless, you should have never introduced her to Zhou Yuwen.
Now that she’s climbed into Zhou Yuwen’s bed, she’s pretending she doesn’t know us,”
Tao Tian has been pretty exhausted lately, standing all day, so she couldn’t be bothered talking to Minmin when she gets back to the dorm, only managing to say tiredly: “Stop talking nonsense, you have no proof.”
“What proof do we need?
Qu Jing admitted it herself, saying Zhou Yuwen goes to sleep at her place every night.
As if he goes there just to sleep in separate rooms?
Such shamelessness, being the other woman!” Minmin mutters to herself quietly.
To say that Tao Tian has no complaints at all would certainly be impossible.
Especially when she sees Qu Jing looking splendid at the office.
Clad in high heels and black stockings, she struts around the office all day, sipping coffee, or gossiping with others.
What’s worst is the way those women butter up Qu Jing with all sorts of flattery as if it costs them nothing.
These women have an impressive knack for reading expressions and words.
They can tell at a glance that Qu Jing does not like Tao Tian and Minmin, so to please Qu Jing, they deliberately target Tao Tian with their subtly hostile remarks.
Among these girls are even former members of the Cultural Department, who used to butter up Tao Tian with smiles and now target her with the same subtle hostility.
Sometimes they even deliberately say where Tao Tian can hear them, wondering how she has the face to come back after being driven away by someone else.
“Just shamelessly holding on to hope, still wishing that Mr.
Zhou would take a fancy to her.”
“What’s there to fancy about her?
Parading around with her big breasts all day long, not finding it too tiresome.”
“Hahaha!”
The girls say quite bold things in private, and they are even sharper than one might imagine.
Logically, it was Tao Tian who backstabbed Zhou Yuwen at the time, but indeed there was a group of girls who wanted to follow Tao Tian to gain more benefits.
And this same group is now slandering Tao Tian the most viciously in private.
As if the previous incidents had nothing to do with them at all.
As if everything was concocted by Tao Tian alone.
Tao Tian had thought that just by being in Zhou Yuwen’s company, she would still have a chance with Zhou Yuwen.
But honestly, the current environment in the company is extremely challenging for Tao Tian.
She has truly experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
Sometimes, Tao Tian thinks that if she had known things would be this way, she wouldn’t have fallen out with Zheng Yanyan and just contentedly remained Zhou Yuwen’s mistress, which seems quite good in hindsight.
To be like Qu Jing, wagging her tail in front of Zhou Yuwen.
At least now, this group of women would gather around her.
In school, I learned an idiom called ‘刻舟求剑,’ and I thought the protagonist was really silly at the time – didn’t he know that things lost in the river would be carried away by the current?
Only when I grew up did I realize that most people spend their lives ‘marking the boat to find the lost sword.’
Just like Tao Tian, with her appearance, attractiveness, and education, wherever she goes, she’s top-tier.
She could easily find a rich second-generation boyfriend.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that a group of well-to-do young men would be willing to be her submissive admirers for life, and she could easily thrive in a big company.
But to the present Tao Tian, these perks seem unimportant.
After working at Zhou Yuwen’s company for over a week, because of the sharp and caustic remarks of others, all Tao Tian can think of is wanting Zhou Yuwen’s favor again.
Even if not as a girlfriend, even just as a fling, as long as Zhou Yuwen likes her, that’s enough.
This is not unlike ‘marking the boat to find the lost sword.’
Unfortunately, those involved are often blind.
Tao Tian, although being harassed by a sleazy middle-aged man.
She doesn’t think of quitting and going back!
She only regrets having fallen out with Zhou Yuwen back then.
If she had been more content at the time and stayed obediently by Zhou Yuwen’s side, how could she have come to such a sorry state today?
Sigh, all of this is but the fruit of her own making.
If given another chance, she would definitely behave obediently.
She would even, like Qu Jing, discard her dignity if needed!
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of her determined to block her path and even looking to find the boss.
Zhou Yuwen, watching Tao Tian’s predicament, also thinks to himself that this girl really isn’t cut out for being in the spotlight.
“I am her boss, may I ask what do you need?” In the end, Zhou Yuwen still steps forward.
