Just as a few people were about to sit down to eat, there was suddenly a commotion outside the door.
The noise grew louder, and vaguely, it seed like Zhang Xiaohong’s voice could be heard.
Soon soone ca to knock on the door.
"Brother Chen, it’s bad, Honghong got into a fight with soone, you better go give her a hand."
A hurried female voice sounded outside the door as Chen Tieshan quickly stood up from his seat.
Wang Shengli’s face changed along with him: "Brother, let’s hurry, if soone gets hurt, it’ll be bad."
Their words made Su Xiaoxiao feel a bit nervous too.
Although she had just t Zhang Xiaohong, she felt quite a connection with her personality.
Seeing a group of people going downstairs, she quickly followed.
Downstairs, she found that the guests in the lobby were all holding their bowls of food, eating while watching the commotion.
People were fearlessly crowding forward, showing a carefree attitude.
Su Xiaoxiao anxiously looked over; they were positioned higher so she could see the two people surrounded in the middle.
However, the imagined scene of Zhang Xiaohong being bullied did not appear.
On the contrary, it seed that the other person was the one in need of help.
Zhang Xiaohong had her jacket sleeves rolled up to her elbows and was straddling the man, punching and kicking him.
Su Xiaoxiao was oddly silent; given this level of force, her previous worries were unfounded.
Just as she thought this, she heard Wang Shengli urgently say: "Brother, hurry, if big sister keeps hitting him, we’ll have to pay for dical expenses again."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
So that’s what they’re worried about.
The two went forward on either side to lift the person up.
"Honghong, don’t be angry, let’s talk it over nicely."
Chen Tieshan gently advised, but the soft expression looked particularly awkward with his fierce face.
"Exactly, big sis, anger harms the body, it’s not worth it."
Wang Shengli also tried to persuade.
"Why did you two co down? Weren’t you supposed to be treating my little sister to dinner?"
Seeing the two, Zhang Xiaohong frowned, caught sight of Su Xiaoxiao not far away, and awkwardly tidied her hair: "You handle this here, I want to say a few words to my little sister."
"You wretched woman, you’re looking for death!"
The man on the ground cursed as he climbed up, only to be kicked down by Wang Shengli.
"Damn it, who the hell..."
Halfway through his words, he saw Chen Tieshan’s ferocious face and instantly fell silent.
"Sister, why did you co down here for such a trivial matter? The food’s getting cold, co on, I’ll take you back upstairs."
Zhang Xiaohong’s smile was gentle; had Su Xiaoxiao not seen her in action, she wouldn’t have been able to associate her with the fierce woman from earlier.
My Hongjie indeed kicks ass! This big sister was the right choice.
Chen Tieshan was very generous; the dishes on the table were mostly premium.
It had been a long ti since she had eaten so abundantly, and Su Xiaoxiao shafully ate way too much.
Embarrassed, she let out a burp; what a disgrace, unable to control herself in the face of delicious food.
"Sis, co over here, I have sothing to give you."
Just as she was inwardly scolding herself, she heard Zhang Xiaohong calling her.
Su Xiaoxiao imdiately followed.
Zhang Xiaohong confidently led her into the kitchen, and the male server about to serve dishes saw her and was amazed: "Hongjie, when did you have such a pretty little sister? How about introducing , I still don’t have a partner."
"Get lost, ugly-faced and wishful thinking, my little sister isn’t soone you can fantasize about. Shoo-shoo, go serve your dishes."
Zhang Xiaohong looked disgusted.
Once the person left, she quickly bent down and fished out a greasy paper pack from under the table, stuffing it into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms: "Sis, I don’t have anything good for you, take this braised beef ho to eat, just rember to conceal it a bit when you leave."
"Don’t be shy with big sis, otherwise you’ll be treating her as an outsider."
Before she could speak, Zhang Xiaohong warned her first.
Su Xiaoxiao could only thank her, put the item away, and planned to ask Chen ilan to return to the departnt store together.
As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, two young male colleagues passed her by.
As they brushed past, Su Xiaoxiao heard them discussing the election of the workshop director at the city steel plant.
Recognizing the familiar work uniform on them, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled, isn’t this the uniform from her brother’s factory?
Previously, she heard her brother say that after the workshop director was arrested at the plant, a new one hadn’t been elected.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao imdiately had an idea.
Elder brother Su Wenbing has diligently worked at the steel plant for over seven or eight years.
To beco a workshop director, his qualifications should be sufficient.
No way, she’ll have to talk to her brother well when she gets ho tonight.
He really should work hard for the workshop director position.
Otherwise, with her brother’s personality, who only knows how to work hard, who knows how many obstacles people will throw his way behind his back—last ti was just an example. If she hadn’t been clever, her brother might have been made a scapegoat.
Thinking over how to persuade her brother, she unknowingly reached the departnt store’s door with Chen ilan.
Just as she was about to enter, Chen ilan suddenly called her.
"Xiao Su, I need your help with sothing, are you free next Monday?"
Departnt store employees don’t have weekends off, usually taking breaks on weekdays.
Su Xiaoxiao happened to have next Monday off.
Their relationship was good, and if it was sothing she could help with, she was more than willing.
She shook her head imdiately: "Nothing going on, Director Chen, anything you need help with, just say so."
Chen ilan breathed a sigh of relief and stamringly said: "It’s about the gentleman from the last social event, he invited to dinner on Monday, and I’m embarrassed to go alone. Could you co with ? Plus, I’m not great with clothing and hair."
As she spoke, Chen ilan’s face grew redder.
Usually, she was all stern and mature at the departnt store, but she was only in her early twenties.
It was the first ti Su Xiaoxiao saw her with this expression, and she thought it rather attractive.
She generally had no resistance to beautiful things, so she imdiately assured. "No problem."
Chen ilan was delighted: "So it’s settled then."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.
Chen ilan suddenly rembered the election for the sales manager position, and seeing no one around, decided to share so inside information with Su Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Su, don’t worry, the sales manager position is almost certainly yours. Liu Changjiang won’t pull any tricks."
"The general manager and several departnt managers are rooting for you; as long as there’s not much difference, the position won’t fall to Liu Changjiang."
To put it bluntly, this was supposed to be a re formality, but the shaless Liu Changjiang unexpectedly appeared midway.
As long as Su Xiaoxiao perford adequately, even if slightly lacking, the position was hers.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect she could ever be a part of the favoritism, and she felt a bit flattered.
"Thank you all for your appreciation, I will work hard to live up to expectations."
The leaders had planned to give her a green light; if she couldn’t win, it would be a sha.
The two chatted and laughed, returning to the departnt store.
As soon as they entered, Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Yulan frantically waving at her from afar.
