Before she realized it, Xiao Li came across a stranger. Although she had no idea who this person was, she was certain that this individual also harbored dissatisfaction towards An Ke. They shared a common goal.
The mysterious person had been helping Xiao Li trip An Ke up at work. Every time, the results were quite remarkable. This made Xiao Li even more reliant on the mysterious person. She was also immersed in the joy of victory and couldn't extricate herself. She kept causing trouble for An Ke.
To make An Ke suffer setbacks, Xiao Li even resorted to some childish tricks.
For example, she would speak ill of An Ke in front of others, making up all sorts of things. This satisfied her urge to gossip and the curiosity of others. An Ke never bothered to care about what others said. The words that reached her ears simply went in one ear and out the other. She didn't mind at all.
However, when it came to work matters, she couldn't avoid them so easily.
"Manager Su, I'm here to get the document that I asked you to sign just now?" Just when An Ke finally found a moment to catch her breath, the person in charge of the distribution department came again.
"What? You didn't take the document?" While An Ke was just gone to make a cup of coffee, the document had vanished from her desk. She thought this person had taken it, but now it was obvious that wasn't the case.
"No. You told me to wait a while before coming in to get it. I just got here!" The person in charge widened her eyes. She could hardly believe such a thing had happened.
This document was crucial to them. Right now, a book their editorial department was about to publish only needed An Ke's signature before they could arrange for its sale.
But now such a problem had occurred. The sales department wouldn't let it go easily, since it was An Ke who had delayed their progress.
"Okay, I understand. Someone must have taken it. Don't worry. I'll handle this. You can go out first!" An Ke, who had already thought of all the consequences, was already in a complete mess. She didn't want someone standing beside her constantly urging her.
"Alright!" The person in charge left reluctantly. She was eager to see how An Ke would explain this to her.
After the person in charge left, An Ke gradually calmed down. She realized that the most important thing now wasn't to find out who was behind this, but to solve the problem perfectly as soon as possible.
"Hello, this is the manager of Red Star Magazine. Due to some unexpected situations, we'd like to discuss with you whether it's possible to postpone the publication date slightly. We'll definitely resolve the issues here as soon as possible."
An Ke immediately thought of contacting the publisher.
"Weren't we supposed to have everything settled before? This counts as a violation of the agreement. You'll have to bear legal responsibility." The person in charge of the publisher was quite dissatisfied with An Ke's move. They had been waiting for the editorial department to finish, but now they were told that it was going to be postponed again. Naturally, he wasn't happy.
"I'm sorry. We're aware of that. We just hope you can be more lenient. It won't take too long." An Ke could understand the other person's anger, but she still tried her best to persuade him.
"We've been waiting for this publication for a long time."
"I know. Don't worry. Our books will definitely not disappoint you." An Ke's sweet voice filled the other person's ears. Even she herself felt that this didn't sound like her at all.
"In that case, fine. Anyway, we chose you precisely because of this. We hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible and give us an explanation earlier." The other person finally relented.
"Okay, thank you." An Ke let out a sigh. She had finally bought some time. Next, she rushed out at the fastest speed and asked the person just now to draw up a new document.
As soon as the document was out, she signed it personally and went to deliver it herself. And this matter just faded away like this.
Speaking of which, things had been really strange recently. An Ke wasn't a careless person. What had happened to her recently? All kinds of unexpected situations kept occurring, as if someone was doing it on purpose.
But An Ke couldn't figure out who that person was. She even suspected that she was going crazy recently and went to see a psychiatrist.
The conclusion was that An Ke had been too tired recently. There was nothing seriously wrong with her mentally, but she needed more rest. Unfortunately, this was exactly what she couldn't do.
Thankfully, it wasn't a serious problem. An Ke continued to work. However, she became more vigilant at work. She kept a closer eye on the people and things around her. Since An Ke had taken this matter to heart, she wouldn't let it go so easily, although she didn't show it.
Sure enough, after some time, An Ke didn't make any major mistakes during that period and had a relatively peaceful time. But how could Xiao Li let her be at peace like this?
Every time she wanted to target An Ke, she would think of the mysterious person. She called the mysterious person again and asked her to continue dealing with An Ke. Without a doubt, the mysterious person agreed to her request without hesitation. The mysterious person knew that Xiao Li would come to her again sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
This seemed too easy. Doubts started to rise in Xiao Li's mind. Who on earth was that person? What was her real purpose? And why did the mysterious person choose her as an ally? She had no idea. She suspected that An Ke had offended some powerful person.
To solve this mystery, Xiao Li also started to secretly observe others. She thought that the person might be someone around her, especially those who were against An Ke. Xiao Li paid even more attention to them. But none of the people around her matched the characteristics of the mysterious person. Xiao Li was a bit disappointed.
Although she hadn't found this person, as long as this person existed, she was more confident in dealing with An Ke. She hoped that this time she could finally teach An Ke a lesson. However, the mysterious person's ability was really great. She just didn't know how long this person would help her.
Xiao Li just hoped that this period could be longer and longer. It would be best if it lasted until An Ke really knelt at her feet. By that time, she wouldn't care about the mysterious person at all.
Although this matter had passed, An Ke had taken it to heart secretly. She knew that someone must be dealing with her secretly and doing such childish framing things. This person was most likely a woman.
Previously, there were only three people who had always been at odds with her. Now Sister Meng had gone on leave and hadn't returned yet. Alice had been fired by her. Only Xiao Li was left.
An Ke glanced at Xiao Li thoughtfully. However, she couldn't just jump to a conclusion so easily. An Ke still thought it would be better to observe for a while longer.
