"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: "Im Irene, send this parcel to the design department".
Im Irene put down the work in her hand, and respectfully replied: "Ok, team leader."
When the woman who loved to gossip saw Im Irene 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 Im Jennie?"
"Im Jennie? It sounds quite similar to Im Irene'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 Im Irene and Jennie.
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 Im Irene snatched everything to do. So, they were even more free.
After hearing the gossip, the youngest one sympathetically said: "Can't tell that Im Irene 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 Im Irene. Besides, receiving benefits will make them soft to that person. Since Im Irene came, they were a lot idler, so their words naturally leaned towards Im Irene. Most importantly, this Im Irene is actually Im 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 Park was really too kind. She should have chased such an ill-intentioned person as far away as possible. But the way CEO Park handled things impartially was also very admirable.
Im Irene 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 Jennie's office and shouted: "Jennie, 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.
Jennie came out of the office and saw that the person delivering the parcel was Im Irene. 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 Im Irene was like that of a stranger, neither hot nor cold.
Secretary Wen came over and looked at it: "Jennie, 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." Jennie 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 Jennie.
Adding on that Jennie'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 Jennie's voice of acknowledging her mistakes.
Literal translation is when you eat that of others' and receive their means, the mouth is soft-spoken
"My condolences". Secretary Wen patted Jennie's shoulder sympathetically. Don't think that just because one was the department head's assistant meant that one could show-off. Department head Wang's strictness and justness was well-known. Without a strong heart, one could not possibly persevere till the end. Those who were scolded till they cried and then quitted were not just a handful.
When Jennie returned to the office, Wen secretary then discovered that Im Irene had not gone yet: "Hey, why haven't you left, is there anything else?"
"No, I am leaving now." Im Irene walked away and at the door, she couldn't help but look back at the closed office.
Also, a newcomer to the new company, she could only be in a dark office with a group of people, but Jennie could have a separate office to herself.
When she returned to the office, the colleagues who had always ordered Im Irene around took the initiative to talk to her. Their words revealed various kinds of probing and flattering. Im Irene worked hard to maintain a smile on her face, but she felt incomparably tired in her heart.
She couldn't help but think of the Jennie she had just seen. The exclusion and gossip that she would have encountered in the design department would definitely not be any lesser. Why did she seem so lively and happy?
The woman seemed to always be so happy, even if she was angered to the extreme at one moment, but in the next moment, she could be teased to laughter by a trivial little thing, and then the previous moment seemed to have not existed. On what basis does Jennie get to be so happy, but she has to be repeatedly tortured by those things!
Im Irene felt tired for the first time. She felt that she could not persist any longer. Just now, Jennie treated her like a stranger and completely did not put her in her eyes. She suddenly felt that everything she had done had lost its significance.
Perhaps, she really should not let her life be destroyed by Jennie, she should walk out of Jennie's shadow and start her new life.
She suddenly remembered the man who she happened to meet at the banquet last time, and a tinge of sweetness surfaced in her heart.
Regarding the meeting with Im Irene, Jennie did not put it in her heart. Rebirth made her realize a truth. Others could make you unhappy, but you can't make yourself unhappy, because if even you let yourself be unhappy, who else could make you happy?When she thought like that, she felt that there was nothing that will make her unhappy.
