Chapter 477 Can You Just Keep Your Mouth Shut

Chapter 477: Can You Keep Quiet Once and for All?

Wei Nan’s face turned green with anger; those words were clearly accusing him of being short-sighted!

Factory Director Zheng’s obvious favoritism towards Jiang Yuming was no longer concealed.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

Wei Nan forced a stiff smile, “No, it was just a misunderstanding.”

All he wanted was to escape this place as quickly as possible, feeling so humiliated that he wished he could bury himself in the ground.

However, the people standing behind him were not willing to let it go so easily.

“If that’s the case, why hasn’t Deputy Section Chief Wei received any commendation from the factory?”

Jiang Yuming sneered and walked up the stairs, giving that person a glance.

“Can you think before you speak? You’ve been shouting all along that I’m stealing his credit, but this is clearly part of our job responsibilities. Where does the credit come from? If every task we do requires a bonus, then what’s the point of having a salary?”

The man retorted, “Why shouldn’t it count! Didn’t you used to issue commendations at the drop of a hat?”

He Qianqian stepped forward to counter, “Tell me, which of Sister Jiang Yuming’s achievements doesn’t deserve a commendation? If you’re so capable, why haven’t you achieved anything noteworthy?”

The one who spoke was Qian Wei, a colleague in the finance department like He Qianqian.

But she had more seniority than He Qianqian and often bossed her around, taking advantage of her position as a senior.

He Qianqian had long harbored resentment towards her but had to keep it bottled up.

Jiang Yu had some impression of Qian Wei, who was overly pampered at home and lacked the ability to discern right from wrong.

It wasn't surprising that she could speak up for Tong Heng before and now support Wei Nan.

"Qian Wei, you think Deputy Section Chief Wei has been wronged here. How about letting him take over as Factory Director? Would that make you happy?" Factory Director Zheng said with neither warmth nor coldness.

Qian Wei was a child he had watched grow up; it was his wife who had helped her get into the finance department of the second factory.

With those words, Qian Wei didn't dare to act out anymore.

"Everyone, go back. If anyone dares to gather and cause trouble again, they will all be disciplined!"

Seeing Factory Director Zheng's anger, these people slunk away like frost-bitten eggplants, one after another descending the stairs.

Jiang Yu glanced at Wei Nan, raising an eyebrow.

"Deputy Section Chief Wei, are you satisfied now?"

Wei Nan found it hard to maintain his gentle smile; his facial muscles twitched, and his refined and handsome face took on a somewhat sinister look.

"Indeed, Department Head Jiang is quite capable."

Jiang Yu knew from the start that he was setting a trap, yet she accepted it with pleasure.

Precisely because she knew it was a trap, how could she not have prepared?

Turning his strategy against him, she played it skillfully.

Leaning against the wall, Jiang Yu's smile was cool.

"Thank you for your praise, Deputy Section Chief Wei. At our age, we shouldn't be learning from the young ones and getting into all sorts of trouble. We should be more composed."

Wei Nan's face twisted for a moment before he replied coolly, "My affairs don't need your concern, Department Head Jiang."

Jiang Yu snorted, "I'm just reminding you to be careful not to stumble in the gutter."

Wei Nan quickly descended the stairs and walked away without looking back.

In the past, he would never have forgotten his manners and would have forced himself to say goodbye to Factory Director Zheng before leaving.

He Qianqian secretly gave Jiang Yu a thumbs-up, "Since Deputy Section Chief Wei joined the factory, this is the first time I've seen him lose his composure."

Jiang Yu chuckled inwardly; it wasn't the first time.

When He Qianqian called him a boar earlier, his face was even darker than now.

Factory Director Zheng tapped Jiang Yu, finding her truly exasperating.

"Can't you get along with him peacefully?"

Jiang Yu blinked innocently.

"Director, he set me up first. How can I possibly get along with him peacefully?"

Factory Director Zheng shook his head helplessly, "I'll give you the same advice: don't underestimate him, or you might end up in trouble."

Jiang Yu giggled, "Thank you for the reminder, Director. Those spies are the real enemies, not Deputy Section Chief Wei."

Seeing Wei Nan humiliated, she felt quite pleased and even hummed a little tune as she went down the stairs.

"Sister Jiang Yu, aren't you afraid he'll take revenge?" He Qianqian truly admired her courage.

Jiang Yu found it amusing, "He takes revenge on me? Why don't you say I might take revenge on him?"

Doesn't she hold grudges?

He Qianqian fell silent; in comparison, Wei Nan seemed more dangerous.

After finishing their meal and returning to the office, He Qianqian realized that the most dangerous person was actually herself.

Because she had offended Qian Wei, and they had to see each other every day.

"Oh, you're back? I thought you'd follow Jiang Yu to the Publicity Department."

As soon as He Qianqian entered the office, she heard Qian Wei's sarcastic tone.

She kept a straight face, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Aren't you always fawning over Jiang Yu? Why didn't she give you a position?"

Usually, He Qianqian would endure it silently, thinking that since she had just joined the Finance Department, there was still much for her to learn.

Facing Qian Wei's bullying, she remained silent.

But today, she couldn't help but retort.

"And you're always following Deputy Section Chief Wei around. Why haven't you gone to the Publicity Department?"

Her rare defiance made everyone else in the office look up.

Qian Wei slammed her hand on the table and stood up in anger.

"How dare you speak to me like this!"

He Qianqian was puzzled. "Why shouldn't I? In the past, I didn't say anything because I was letting you off, thinking that enduring for a while would bring peace. Are you a princess from the Forbidden City or a young lady from the old society? Why shouldn't I speak to you like this?"

At this moment, an amiable senior colleague in the office stepped in to mediate.

"Come on, come on, Qianqian, your temper is too big. Qian Wei only said one thing to you, and you responded with a whole basket."

He Qianqian looked at him. "Did she ever say little? Every time she bullied me, did I see you stand up for me? I'm not asking you to help me, but can't you just keep quiet?"

The man was taken aback, his face turning unpleasant.

Qian Wei sneered. "Impressive, now that you have Department Head Jiang backing you, you don't even look at me."

He Qianqian retorted, "You could also ask Deputy Section Chief Wei to back you up, but there are too many people vying for his support. How could it be your turn? Do your parents know that you don't date proper men and instead follow an old man around all day?"

Qian Wei's mouth opened in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock.

Today, He Qianqian's fighting spirit was formidable, leaving Qian Wei speechless.

"You were the one who made a mistake and got scolded by the factory manager. How can you act as if you're the one wronged? Are you unhappy with the factory manager? If you're so capable, go complain to the factory office."

He Qianqian continued her barrage of words, leaving Qian Wei speechless, her lips trembling and tears welling up in her eyes.

"You've gone too far!"

He Qianqian shrugged. "Who asked you to take my silence for granted in the past?"

Qian Wei was so angry that she was speechless, covering her mouth and sobbing as she ran out of the office.

"Tsk, Qian Qian, what are you doing, offending everyone in the office!"

He Qianqian glanced at her coldly, "Sister Ying, are you intermittently blind? When Qian Wei used to bully me, didn't you tell me to endure it? Why aren't you telling her to endure it now? You really are double-standard."

Sister Ying's face turned green with anger, gritting her teeth, "That's not the same. We are your seniors. You just joined the finance department, and you should humbly learn from us."

He Qianqian seemed to realize something, "So, your idea of humble learning is to let you bully me without resistance."

Sister Ying: "... Think whatever you want, but you shouldn't have done that just now."

He Qianqian didn't bother to respond, "If you have any complaints, go talk to Department Head Miao."

Miao Shilan happened to walk in at that moment and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Sister Ying took the initiative, "Qian Wei was bullied by Qian Qian and cried."

Miao Shilan didn't believe it, raising an eyebrow.

"You have that skill?"

He Qianqian pressed her lips together, not defending herself.

Miao Shilan laughed, patting her shoulder.

"Good job, keep it up."

Both He Qianqian and Sister Ying looked at her in surprise.

Miao Shilan glanced at Sister Ying, "I'm not blind. Don't think I didn't see how you used to bully her."

Sister Ying: "..."

Miao Shilan said sternly, "There's no rule that says you can bully others while they can't defend themselves."

Sister Ying, who was always one to bully the weak and fear the strong, dared not speak after being reprimanded.
