Chapter 286
I was questioned by Lin Xixi and I didn't react for a moment.
Yan Dong didn't understand the situation and stood there in confusion.
Feng Wenting strode over, stood in front of the coffee table, stared at my face, and sneered, "Wrong? Stolen, right? I never thought that someone like Manager Meng, who claims to be noble, would actually do such a stealing thing, stealing other people's food and stealing their people?"
"It should be that Manager Meng didn't steal it on purpose. She must have made a mistake and thought that the food was sent by Han Zhi, so she took it away. Manager Meng's current status should not allow her to steal other people's things." As soon as Feng Wenting spoke, Lin Xixi returned to her usual soft and tender self. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at me, and there was innocence and kindness in them. "Right, Manager Meng?"
"Did she see it wrong? No way, Manager Meng is not nearsighted nor presbyopic, how could she have seen it wrong? I heard that stealing is an addiction and has nothing to do with status. Xixi, you'd better not think too highly of people. If she steals from you today, she might steal from someone else tomorrow. You must clarify this matter." Lin Xixi failed to stop Feng Wenting, but instead made her even more excited.
Stealing food, stealing people.
Whoever steals yours today may steal someone else's tomorrow.
Every word Feng Wenting said was sharp and profound.
It seems that Feng Wenting is not only good friends with Lin Xixi, but also a teammate of Lin Xixi who shares the same hatred for the enemy.
Lin Xixi was still defending me: "Forget it, Wenting, we are all colleagues, and this is not a big deal. Let's just let it go. I forgive Manager Meng. This meal is given to Manager Meng by Han Zhi and I."
"How can stealing be considered a small matter, Xixi? Don't be so tolerant all the time. You don't take stealing seriously, but who can you cry to when someone steals your people? Besides, you don't say anything when someone wrongly accuses you, and you don't say anything when someone steals your things. You will be treated as a soft persimmon." Feng Wenting interrupted Lin Xixi, becoming even more indignant. She looked at me and asked arrogantly, "Manager Meng, please apologize to Xixi immediately."
It was not until this moment that I realized that Zhou Hanzhi had indeed only delivered the meal to me and not to Lin Xixi, but Lin Xixi mistakenly thought that I had stolen the meal from her.
But I didn't expect that Feng Wenting would attack me for Lin Xixi. Her words were so harsh, as if the one I had a conflict with was not Lin Xixi, but her. It was really shocking.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Ling obviously understood what was going on. His face turned cold and he slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the coffee table with a bang, shaking the dishes. I quickly reached out to hold them.
But Yan Dong shouted at Feng Wenting: "Before you convict someone, you need to understand the specific circumstances. You keep calling him a thief. Have you found out the whole story?"
I've known Yan Dong for so long, and he has always been gentle and amiable. This is the first time I've seen him so fierce.
Feng Wenting must have been shocked by Wu Ling and Yan Dong's momentum. She subconsciously took a step back, no longer aggressive, but still muttered in a low voice: "The facts are in front of us, do you still need to ask more? Originally... Teacher Yan, why do you always protect her?"
Lin Xixi, who had always been timid, was not afraid at this time. Instead, she asked, "Manager Meng, did you really not take my food by mistake?"
She had just been trying to stop Feng Wenting from questioning me and was trying to settle the matter peacefully. But at this moment, when Feng Wenting was suppressed, she stood up again and brought up the matter again.
"Steal? How dare you say that! Who would steal these unpalatable things instead of the good ones? When Zeng Zhi brought it to us just now, we were disgusted and wanted to throw it into the trash!" Wu Ling was furious.
"Assistant Zeng sent it?" Feng Wenting was a little surprised, and then she muttered to Lin Xixi, "Could it be that Assistant Zeng sent it to the wrong place?"
But I had already made a call and turned on the speaker mode.
A deep voice came from the microphone: "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Zhou Hanzhi's words cleared me of the charges, and I didn't even need to explain the whole story.
The air in the office suddenly became quiet. Feng Wenting was in disbelief at first, and then she was deeply confused.
Lin Xixi widened her almond-shaped eyes, her eye circles gradually turned red, and tears slowly overflowed from her round eyes.
I looked at her tearful eyes and whispered to Zhou Hanzhi on the other end of the phone, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your concern and asking Assistant Zeng to send me food. However, I don't need food for the time being, so please don't send me food again in the future."
Lin Xixi couldn't hold on any longer, she covered her face, left Feng Wenting behind and ran away.
Zhou Hanzhi on the other end of the phone didn't say anything else, so I took it as his agreement and hung up the phone directly. Then I looked at Feng Wenting, who had just raised the banner of justice and attacked me.
Feng Wenting was extremely embarrassed, her face turned red and white, and without Yan Dong saying anything, she bowed to me and said, "I misunderstood Manager Meng. I'm sorry."
Although she apologized, her tone was obviously reluctant, and after saying this, she quickly glanced at Yan Dong.
Yan Dong's face had been stern since a while ago, and he looked freshly stern. He glanced at her and said nothing.
Feng Wenting's face turned pale.
I had no intention of causing conflict within the company because of a small matter, especially since Feng Wenting was still a part of the "HERO" project, so I waved my hand to signal Feng Wenting to get out, and the matter was dropped.
Wu Ling was still dissatisfied: "Lin Xixi is really good at pretending to be weak and pitiful. First there was Xiao Zheng, and now it's Feng Wenting's turn. Feng Wenting is also a powder keg. It's none of her business, but she's so excited."
I glanced at Yan Dong and curled my lips slightly: "Maybe, it has something to do with her."
"What does it have to do with her?" Wu Ling wanted to ask, but I refused to say anything and just asked Yan Dong to sit down and eat.
There was a huge table of food, but I never touched the portion Zhou Hanzhi sent me.
Lin Xixi asked for leave in the afternoon.
That night.
I just came out of the office and was about to go home when I saw Feng Wenting chasing after Yan Dong with a frown on her face: "Teacher Yan, it was really my brother's idea. He wants to treat you to a meal. Just give him this face, right? The car is waiting downstairs..."
"Please convey my gratitude to Mr. Feng for me. However, I cannot keep the appointment tonight. I have more important things to do." Yan Dong's tone towards Feng Wenting was very distant and not gentle at all.
When he looked at me, his face was filled with a gentle smile: "Nan Xu, can I take you there tonight?"
I looked at Feng Wenting, who was standing behind Yan Dong with a gloomy face, and gently refused: "No, I'll go to the 4S store to pick up the car and drive back myself."
Previously, my car broke down at Shiweiju and couldn’t be powered on. Later, I called the after-sales service and they towed the car to the 4S store. Today, they sent me a text message telling me that I could pick it up.
"How can you drive in your current condition? Let me take you there?" Yan Dong frowned slightly, his tone somewhat anxious.
I was just about to speak when a deep voice came from not far away.
"Let me take Manager Meng back, and Professor Yan can go to meet Mr. Feng without any worries."
