Zhuang Nainai looked up at Si Jingyu and said nothing except reply to her with a sound of affirmation.
Si Jingyu heaved a sigh of relief subconsciously. Actually, right now, she was most afraid that Zhuang Nainai would question her until she learns the truth.
She really had no idea how to explain it.
Clearly, she was not at fault. Bai Yue was also not at fault, not to mention him. However, why did her marriage reach this state?
—
After spending some time there, it was already 5 pm when Zhuang Nainai returned to her desk.
She had just stepped into the office when she heard Zhang Chaowen bellow, “Zhuang Nainai, where have you been during office hours? If you don’t wish to work, scram!”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Alright, she would have the worst falling-out with Zhang Chaowen today.
Not only did Zhang Chaowen fail to chase her away, he even got berated by Zuo Yiyi, so he would definitely vent all his anger and frustration doubly on her.
Hence… the coming days would probably not be smooth sailing for her.
Zhuang Nainai could not help but wonder if she should discuss this with Executive Assistant Ji and ask to be transferred to another department.
After venting some of his emotions outside, Zhang Chaowen headed back into his office.
The atmosphere in the entire big office instantly unwinded.
The tensed atmosphere just now really made one extremely pressured!
Su Mei, who sat behind Zhuang Nainai, did not dare to move an inch and just looked down at the computer initially. Then, she could not help but turn around and give Zhuang Nainai a thumbs-up. “You are no joke. How are they punishing you in the end?”
Zhuang Nainai smirked. “No punishment.”
Thereafter, she briefly mentioned what Zuo Yiyi did.
As Su Mei listened, she beamed with joy, like she was rejoicing in their misfortune. “No wonder he was throwing so many tantrums. Haha. I’m glad that you are fine, but we are doomed. We will have to endure this tensed atmosphere with you. But luckily, it’s payday, so we can still seek some comfort from it.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up.
Oh?
Payday?
The pay in the Imperial Group was not low. Rumors had it that the bare minimum was at least $7000 to $8000 per month!
She was excited to know how much she would receive!
Zhuang Nainai picked up her phone and checked her messages, but… she did not receive it?
The balance of her account was still $10!
Zhuang Nainai could not help but look at Su Mei. “Hey, has everyone received their pay?”
Su Mei answered immediately, “Yeah, we are a large enterprise. Once the finance department sends out the pay, it will be reflected in the account within five minutes. Why?”
Reflected it the account within five minutes?
But… she didn’t receive it!
Could it be that her cell phone did not have enough balance? It stopped functioning? Thus, she did not receive the message?
Zhuang Nainai switched on her computer and went onto the bank’s website to check the balance. There was indeed $10 in her bank account!
Sh*t!
Could it be that Executive Assistant Ji did not pass her information to the finance department?
Zhuang Nainai simply waited for another 20 minutes. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, she thought of her promise to treat her senior to a meal and return his money, but she had not received her pay so what could she do!
Zhuang Nainai just picked up her phone and sent a message to Executive Assistant Ji: “Executive Assistant Ji, the company forgot to give me my pay, what do I do?”
She had thought that Executive Assistant Ji would surely say that it was his mistake and that he would check immediately and ask her for forgiveness.
When that happens, she would just have to say that she needed money urgently and ask Executive Assistant Ji to lend her $2000 first, and everything would be ok!
Ding! Zhuang Nainai was thinking about her perfect plan when she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and checked her message immediately.
When she saw the contents on the cell phone screen, she stood up suddenly. She wished she could just throw the phone away. She almost cursed!
Ji Chen’s reply was: “Your pay was sent to Sir’s account.”
