The moment I stepped inside the Building I heard someone calling my name from behind. Looking
back, I saw Li Min. I stood still, waiting for her but behind her, suddenly appeared the figure of a guy that I did not want to see.
Following Jiang Li’s advice, I held my ground. Sweeping an indifferent glance at Yu Zhi Fei, I waved Li Min closer and walked shoulder by shoulder with her towards the elevator.
Li Min neither realized that there was someone behind her nor detected my unusual behavior because all her attention was focused on fishing out the latest pieces of gossips.
After catching up with me, Li Min chuckled darkly: “Secretary Guan, Just now did your boyfriend drop you to the office?”
I smiled and said: “No it was my husband.”
Li Min blinked her big eyes and with an unmasked envy on her face she said: “Your husband’s car is very beautiful.”
I politely smiled: “Probably so.”
Honestly, I had not inspected his car closely, all I knew that it was a white BMW. Since it was quite a snobby car thus I concluded that Jiang Li was also a snob.
Li Min laughed: “Your husband drops you to your office in his car daily. He is really very good to you.”
Was this a joke, good to me? If she knew what he had done to me, without any delay she would swallow back her words!!
Of course considering the complicity of the situation, a pair of eyes trailing behind us, I did not dare to backbite Jiang Li. Although refuting Li Min’s words could not be called a slander but Jiang Li had a sick personality. If he were to know about me ‘slandering’ him then I couldn’t even imagine how he would bully me.
So I calmly said with a plastic smile: “It’s his duty.” Bragging, in fact, was my forte.
At this point, Li Min looked at me with a little reverence in her eyes…….
The three of us walked in to the same the elevator. In the elevator, holding my head high, I looked straight ahead and did not glance at Yu Zhi Fei, not even once. I calmly listened to Li Min’s chatter and laughter. As per Jiang Li’s words, one must not resign herself but make others resign thus should overwhelm the enemy using the imposing attitude.
I realized that although Jiang Li was a psycho and had an implausible IQ but he still had become guru, my counselor, my adviser.
As we stepped out of the elevator I felt relieved. After all today I did not lose any face. Since my break up with Yu Zhi Fei four years ago, this had happened for the first time.
……….
Today my boss looked extremely tired and haggard. Perhaps he had a little too many drinks last night!
When Wang Kai saw me, he cheered up a bit, greeted me and then asked: “Are you alright?”
