Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 28

The next morning, Shu Tian missed the early subway on her way to the company because she failed to cram into the compartment. She arrived at the company at the exact attendance time and if she arrived one minute later, she would be late for work.

Along the way, she had been thinking about those documents. She had imagined countless times the scene of Liu Wei giving her a good scolding, and done mental preparations countless times, but it didn't occur to her that not only did she not get scolded, but she actually got through it safely.

Shu Tian thought she was lucky, but soon she realized that things were not so simple as she thought.

In the company's tea room, Shu Tian was getting coffee when she suddenly heard the deliberately lowered voice from her colleagues of the same group next door.

"Do you know Shu Tian, the newcomer to our group?"

"I do. I heard she's a top student."

"Today..." At this point, one of them said in a lower voice, "At the meeting, Director Liu specifically warned us and mentioned something about backing. Do you think it's her?"

"I guess so. Liu Wei put it so obviously."

"But I think that Shu Tian is indeed good-looking, like a star. She looks so delicate and men like that type. Maybe she has that kind of relationship with some senior executive in the company. Let's not offend her."

"Exactly. But it's unfortunate for us to have such a colleague around. I don't think we'll have any luck in the future. She'll take it all by herself."

"Yes..."

The two of them got the water and left, and their voices became more and more distant. Shu Tian tightened her grip on the coffee cup unconsciously. When she was in a daze, it wasn't until the coffee spilled over that she realized it. The back of her hand was scalded and turned red.

She turned off the machine at once. She couldn't care about the scald on the back of her hand, and her mind was in a mess.

Liu Wei had asked her colleagues in the same group to stay after the morning meeting. So this was what it had been about?

Shu Tian frowned. No wonder Liu Wei didn't say a word about those documents. Now that she thought about it, the way Liu Wei looked at her was really meaningful.

Had Li Han given Liu Wei a previous notice?

Thinking of this, Shu Tian got even more flustered. She did not intend to receive preferential treatment, nor did she want her colleagues to know about her relationship with Li Han. Apart from her own sake, it was not a good thing for Li Han either.

Shu Tian walked to the staircase and called Li Han. It was Zhang Bikun who answered the phone, "I'm sorry, Miss Shu. Boss Li is in a meeting. If there's anything, I can help you communicate it to him."

"It's okay. Please tell him when he's done. I want to see him."

Shu Tian hung up, took the cup and walked back to the office. She didn't know whether it was because she knew what everyone was thinking, she felt that the way they looked at her was somewhat unfriendly.

It turned out that what Shu Tian thought was right. Yesterday, the colleagues were willing to help her, but today, they had no idea about how to solve her problems. Some people even ignored her. Shu Tian knew that she was "isolated".

"Shu Tian, the head of this form is wrong." Zhang Rui'er, who was at the next desk, pointed at her computer screen.

Shu Tian thanked her appreciatively, "Thank you. I don't know how to fill in here."

Zhang Rui'er waved her hand and didn't care about it, "It's okay. I'll send you a template later. You may refer to it."

After a while, it was lunch time. Shu Tian almost forgot that she had looked for Li Han. It was then that she got a phone call from him, "Are you looking for me?"

Shu Tian walked to the corner and said, "Yes, I want to ask you something."

"Come up and ask me."

"No, I'm going to have lunch with my colleague. I'll ask you after lunch." Shu Tian lowered her voice, "See you in the underground parking lot."

Before Li Han could agree, this little woman had already hung up the phone in a hurry.

It was the first time that someone hung up the phone before Boss Li did. His face darkened. Zhang Bikun reminded him in a trembling voice, "Boss Li, would you like to order two portions of lunch or... one?"

Li Han glanced at him coldly, "Whenever have I ordered two?"

Zhang Bikun's mouth twitched, "You were obviously..."

"What?" That one word spat out by the man was suffocating.
