Once inside the bathroom, Yang Qian pulled Gu Sisi to one side. "What did the director say just now? Peng Die seems really dissatisfied with you."
Gu Sisi shook her head. "It's nothing." She didn't want to drag Yang Qian into this.
Moreover, she herself hadn't sorted out what was going on.
"Sisi, you need to be more careful in the future..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a cold voice interrupted her.
"Yang Qian, chatting in the bathroom during work hours. Do you want to keep your job? Some people can be so carefree, but you don't have to follow suit."
"That's right! One person gets promoted and all their cronies benefit? What a joke!"
"Shut up!" Gu Sisi couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily, "If you have the guts, come at me. Don't bully others!"
Peng Die walked in as well. "How can you say it's bullying? I'm Yang Qian's superior. It's normal for me to criticize her a bit. Who do you think you are to interfere?"
Gu Sisi rarely showed such a dark expression. "From now on, she's no longer under your project."
She had been hesitating about whether to take over this project, but now she was determined. Even if it was just to protect Yang Qian from being bullied, she would take over this project.
Gu Sisi usually didn't cause trouble and was very law - abiding. Her sudden confrontational attitude surprised the people around her.
Peng Die didn't understand her meaning at first. She looked at Gu Sisi and then at Yang Qian. "Are you quitting? That's great. It'd be even better if you two quit together. It'll save me the sight of you here!"
Peng Die had always been mean - spoken in the company. She could argue even when she was in the wrong, and other colleagues were used to it and didn't dare to provoke her.
It wasn't enough to drive one person away. She hoped to squeeze Gu Sisi out too, so that she wouldn't have to hand over the project.
She had prepared for so long. How could she let others take advantage so easily?
"Sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear just now." Gu Sisi remained calm and stood in front of Yang Qian. "She doesn't want to quit and will continue to follow up on this project."
"Gu Sisi, you're making a fool of me!" Peng Die was angry. She had gotten her hopes up for nothing.
"What I mean is, I've agreed to the director's arrangement and am going to take over this project personally. So, Yang Qian doesn't need to follow your instructions anymore."
These firm words made Peng Die stunned for a moment. Then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she looked ferocious and almost jumped up to bite.
But after all, she was an old hand in the workplace. She knew she couldn't make a fool of herself in the company, so she quickly forced herself to calm down.
"Gu Sisi, I've been in charge of this project from the very beginning, and I've trained the whole team. Do you think you can snatch it away by using tricks?"
She sneered and stared at Yang Qian. "Some people can only be arrogant for a while by pulling strings. Don't think you can be so insolent for a lifetime. Yang Qian, do you think she can protect you forever?"
Peng Die crossed her arms and looked down on them like a queen, trying to intimidate Yang Qian with her aura.
After she finished speaking, the other colleagues looked at each other. It was rare for the company to change the project leader midway, and this incident was indeed a bit unusual.
Now, after hearing what Peng Die said, some people already believed that Gu Sisi had pulled strings and used improper means. Their looks towards her were full of contempt.
Gu Sisi felt like needles were pricking her all over. She felt very uncomfortable being stared at like this. "Peng Die, that's enough!"
No one would be happy to be unjustly slandered and attacked.
Yang Qian was standing behind Gu Sisi. At this moment, she suddenly stepped forward. Although she was still afraid of Peng Die, she mustered up the courage to speak.
"I know Sisi. She's not the kind of person who plays tricks behind others' backs. The director assigned this project to her. If you're dissatisfied, go and talk to the director. Don't just sling mud at Sisi."
