EVWNALM ch 23.1 – Contentment

“I heard that an outsider came into the design department, and became the department head’s assistant straight-away.”
“Really, then wouldn’t she become a designer of our company the moment she becomes official?”
The woman who spoke first raised her hand and admired the crystal nails that was just done yesterday. She said sourly: “We have no choice, since she has a backing”.
“Department Head Wang has always been famous for being thorough. Even if people had backing, she might also not be interested. In the end, she should still have some skill. Alright, whether she has backing or not, has nothing to do with us. Let’s do our own duties first.” Another person who had more power to speak mediated and blocked this topic. She said to the new person who was sitting at the side sorting out materials: “Lou Qing Qing, send this parcel to the design department”.
Lou Qing Qing put down the work in her hand, and respectfully replied: “Ok, team leader.”
When the woman who loved to gossip saw Lou Qing Qing holding the parcel and leaving, she immediately pulled the colleague beside her and said: “Have I said that the newcomer with the backing in the design department is called Lou Yao Yao?”
“Lou Yao Yao? It sounds quite similar to Lou Qing Qing’s name. It can’t be that they have some connections?” The colleague quickly responded.
“Of course, there is a connection.” Then she grabbed her colleague and went through the whole gossip, and completely explained the identities of Lou Qing Qing and Lou Yao Yao.
Hearing such interesting gossip, the people in the whole office came to surround her. When the logistics department was busy, they were so busy that their feet could hardly touch the ground. But when they were free, they had nothing to do all day. Originally, they were already a relatively idle group, and the work was not a lot. Add on the fact that the new intern Lou Qing Qing snatched everything to do. So, they were even more free.
After hearing the gossip, the youngest one sympathetically said: “Can’t tell that Lou Qing Qing is actually so pitiful”.
“Yeah, it must have been very difficult for her in the past few years. It is rare that she can still be so optimistic.” Another colleague continued saying.
Soon, a gossip meeting became a sympathy meeting, and everyone was partial towards Lou Qing Qing. Besides, receiving benefits will make them soft to that person[1]. Since Lou Qing Qing came, they were a lot idler, so their words naturally leaned towards Lou Qing Qing. Most importantly, this Lou Qing Qing is actually Lou CEO’s daughter. Coming to the grassroots level this time was just to train her ability, right? Promotion was only a matter of time.
Only a few older staff secretly curled their lips in disapproval and did not join the conversation. Based on their experiences, they naturally looked farther than the young people. How was a discontented woman pitiful? Moreover, this woman actually came to work here at this company. It seems that she couldn’t figure out the situation and probably doesn’t know who the real voice of this company is.
If she thought she could rise up all the way relying on her father, then she was destined to be disappointed. Talking about this, CEO Fang was really too kind. She should have chased such an ill-intentioned person as far away as possible. But the way CEO Fang handled things impartially was also very admirable.
Lou Qing Qing took the parcel to the design department. It was different from their group’s small dark office, as the design department occupied a whole floor, with sufficient light and luxurious layout. Working in such a place, just thinking about it, made one’s mood better.
After explaining her purpose in coming to secretary Wen at the door, the other party rushed to Lou Yao Yao’s office and shouted: “Lou Yao Yao, there’s a parcel for you, come and sign to receive it”.
“Okay, coming”.
Just listening to the voice, you can feel that the owner of that voice was in a good mood, revealing a cheerful spirit.
Lou Yao Yao came out of the office and saw that the person delivering the parcel was Lou Qing Qing. She was dazed for a moment, and took up the pen to sign. After signing, she said naturally: “Thank you for sending the parcel over.”
Her attitude towards Lou Qing Qing was like that of a stranger, neither hot nor cold.
Secretary Wen came over and looked at it: “Yao Yao, what is in this parcel?”
“It was teacher who helped me order some introductory books. She despises that my foundation is too bad, and I am too stupid. So, she doesn’t want to teach me anymore and lets me read first.” Lou Yao Yao stuck out her tongue.
Said teacher was the design department’s Department Head Wang. Department head Wang was very strict, and had no mercy when she taught Lou Yao Yao. Adding on that Lou Yao Yao’s foundation was basically zero, she naturally could not avoid reprimands. Recently, when you passed by the door of her office, you can often hear her roaring voice and Lou Yao Yao’s voice of acknowledging her mistakes.
