Chapter 350: Chief Hao’s Dilemma
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, when Fang Ya arrived at the office, she saw everyone looking at her strangely.
Fang Ya did not mind it. After sitting down in her seat, she flipped through the information Xing Na had prepared.
Fang Ya was looking at it when Xing Na poked her head out from the other side. “Fang Ya, do you have any idea why Chief Hao didn’t come today?”
Fang Ya looked up at Xing Na and shook her head. “I don’t know! Did something happen?”
Xing Na looked left and right before she stood up and walked around the table to come to Fang Ya’s side. “I heard that the matter that the Secretary asked the Section Chief to handle yesterday wasn’t handled properly. He’s currently being scolded in the Secretary’s office!”
Fang Ya replied with an “oh” and did not say anything else.
Other than a few people in charge, no one knew that the proposal that Section Chief Hao was discussing had been proposed by Fang Ya, much less that Section Chief Hao was being scolded because of Fang Ya.
Fang Ya continued to flip through the materials in her hands and did not seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation with Xing Na.
Xing Na also felt a little bored, so she went back to her seat.
About an hour later, Section Chief Hao appeared at the door of the office.
When he saw Fang Ya sitting in her seat, he secretly gritted his teeth and strode in.
Section Chief Hao sat behind his desk and adjusted it for a long time before finally saying, “Fang Ya, come with me for a moment.”
Fang Ya glanced at Chief Hao and nodded. She stood up and followed Chief Hao out of the office.
After the two of them left, a heated discussion immediately broke out in the office.
“Is the chief going to let Fang Ya take the fall for this?” An older colleague said.
“I think Fang Ya is dead meat this time!” Another colleague who usually liked to curry favor with others said with certainty.
“That Fang Ya is really miserable. She just turned up here not long ago…” the colleague who was across the table from Xing Na also echoed.
Xing Na shook her head and said, “She was extremely calm. She seemed sure of herself!”
“What’s the confidence!” The colleague who was trying to curry favor with others said disdainfully.
“Exactly! She can change how she feels about things, not the other way around!” The older colleague also sighed.
“Our Section Chief has all the authority to throw his weight about!” The colleague next to Xing Na had already stood up and came to Xing Na’s side.
“In my opinion, you’d better stay away from Fang Ya to avoid getting caught in the mess.” The colleague gently put a hand on Xing Na’s shoulder and advised her.
Xing Na shook her shoulder and threw the other person’s hand off. “You stay away from me too!”
Usually, Xing Na and Shi Tong never interacted much. Their personalities were different, and even if they were sitting next to each other, they rarely talked to each other.
Now that she saw that Fang Ya might be in trouble, Shi Tong had popped out like a badger from the ground, which made Xing Na feel very uncomfortable.
Shi Tong snorted while shaking her hand. “I don’t want to be near you yet!”
After Shi Tong said that, she turned around and returned to her seat.
The two of them parted on bad terms. The few people beside them also felt bored and worked in their own seats.
Now that the Section Chief was focused on dealing with Fang Ya, they could slack off a little.
Otherwise, that workaholic Section Chief would stare at them with big, watchful eyes while they worked. He was just short of holding a small whip in his hand!
Section Chief Hao brought Fang Ya to the file room.
Section Chief Hao looked around. When he was certain there was no one else around, he finally said, “Fang Ya, are you familiar with that Chief Lin?”
Fang Ya shook her head and calmly said, “No sir!”
Section Chief Hao frowned, looking very troubled.
Fang Ya did not urge him. She just waited quietly.
After a while, Chief Hao opened his mouth again. “Can I trouble you with something?”
Fang Ya tilted her head slightly and looked at Chief Hao. “Tell me about it first.. I’ll see if I can help.”
