I didn't get too involved with May. After all, she wasn't the real culprit.
But since she is involved, she naturally has to bear my feedback.
When I returned to the company, the medicine for bruises and injuries that I ordered from a certain group was delivered.
I walked into the office with the potion, and my apprentice Julie, wearing a professional dress, was waiting for me with a serious face.
Seeing me coming, she suppressed the smile on her face and said, "From now on, I will be the acting marketing director, and all your projects will be handed over to me."
"Why?" I asked calmly.
She pushed her black-framed glasses up with her middle finger: "Marketing Director May accused you of destroying her family. Although there is no direct evidence, she just gave birth to a child. The company decided to let you stay out of the spotlight out of consideration for breastfeeding employees."
"If you feel that this arrangement is unreasonable, you can choose to suspend your work for a period of time, and then come back to work after she has finished her confinement and her emotions have stabilized."
I argued: "Why? I'm the one being slandered, yet you want me to be suspended? You're blaming the victim!"
"Victim?" She sneered. "Anna, how can you say that?!"
Julie is a poor student I sponsored. She once said she wanted to earn money to treat her mother's illness. After graduation, I recommended her to work in sales in the company.
She had no resources, so I gave her my own customers and taught her marketing step by step.
Today, she is the youngest grassroots cadre in the company.
On the day of her promotion, she got drunk, held my hand and cried, saying that I was her second parent.
I thought she was at least grateful to me.
But in my previous life, it was she who forged chat records and photos, secretly made PPTs and posted them to major WeChat groups and new media platforms, nailing me to the pillar of shame, making it impossible for me to turn over!
Julie continued, " May always advises you to be down-to-earth in business and not to take crooked paths, but you don't listen and always make private appointments with male clients. Nine out of ten times, you can close a deal the next day."
" You said that those who are not loved are mistresses. To be a big woman, you have to be unconcerned about small matters and be willing to take risks in order to achieve great things."
"You've done me a favor. I didn't want to expose this matter, but you actually bullied May who was in confinement. I just couldn't stand it!"
I stared at Julie. I considered myself her mentor, but I didn't know why she hated me so much and wanted to push me into the abyss!
In my previous life, she was the one who wanted to kick me out of the company and even took advantage of May who was still in confinement after giving birth.
Our office is open plan, and upon hearing the argument, more and more colleagues began to gather around.
They began to talk about it.
" Anna looks quite serious in normal times, but I didn't expect her to be so unrestrained in private. You can't judge a person by his appearance. "
"So it was all achieved through sleep? No wonder. I was wondering how someone could be so amazing and win the top sales title for five consecutive years."
"But she is so beautiful, her taste is not very good. May's husband has shifty eyes and is less than 1.6 meters tall. How could she be so greedy?"
"You don't know this, this is called being hungry and not being selective about what you eat!"
The discussions became louder and louder, and unpleasant words kept coming out.
I stared at Julie and said coldly, "You are throwing dirty water on me, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Anna , you're really not going to give up until you get to the Yellow River!" Just as Julie finished speaking, Grace, who had been with me for three years , squeezed out of the crowd.
She pursed her lips in silence, as if she had made up her mind, and said angrily: "I wanted to say it a long time ago!"
After saying this, her eyes turned red and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
After three years of being together, this is the first time I know that Grace has such acting skills. It’s a pity that she didn’t become an actor.
"She is a habitual mistress! Not only does she have an affair with a client who already has a family, but she also likes to steal the girlfriends of her colleagues!"
"Three years ago, when I first started working, my boyfriend and I treated her to a meal to thank her for her guidance. I never expected..."
She started crying as she spoke: "I didn't expect that she would seduce my boyfriend while drunk! She even asked him if he wanted to dump me and her, so that he could save ten years of detours!"
" My boyfriend was disgusted and asked me to quit my job, otherwise he would break up with me. I was a coward, and it's not easy for fresh graduates to find a job. In order to keep this job, I gave up on him..."
She bent over and squatted, crying uncontrollably. Some colleagues in the department comforted her and accused me.
"I've experienced this before, and since then, I've never let my husband come to the company again!"
"It's hard to find a job now. For this job, we not only have to bear the pressure of performance, but also have to guard against her trying to steal my wife. It's too difficult!"
…
I seemed to have heard a great joke:
"Defamation is a legal offence. Once you say something, it's like spilled water. It's hard to take it back."
"Have you thought it through?"
