I married my best friend's dad in a whirlwind romance, only to find out he'd secretly love

After hearing everything, Xu Nian's eyes turned cold as she stared directly at Zhang Qian.

"Zhang Qian, is what she said true?"

Zhang Qian's eyes darted around, and she seemed flustered. "I was just passing by and saw that she didn't have much to do, so I thought I'd let her familiarize herself with the company's business as soon as possible..."

"You work in HR, not my department. You have no right to boss me around, Zhang Qian. Do you think we're all fools?"

Xu Nian's gaze was sharp, making Zhang Qian afraid to utter a sound.

"Just do your job properly. A human resources assistant came to me and deliberately targeted my people. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Xu Nian's voice wasn't loud, but every word she uttered was humiliating.

"Apologize!"

Zhang Qian gritted her teeth and demanded an apology.

But seeing Xu Nian's uncompromising attitude, she had no choice but to compromise.

Although she works in the HR department, she did cross departmental boundaries.

Finally, Zhang Qian gritted her teeth and looked at Qiao An'an.

"sorry!"

Qiao An'an didn't expect that Xu Nian's few words would make Zhang Qian apologize.

She instantly felt a different way about this cold-faced manager; he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief. "I accept your apology. We all work in the same company, and we see each other all the time. Let's hope this doesn't happen again."

Zhang Qian nodded through gritted teeth.

Xu Nian looked at Zhang Qian, "Come with me!"

Zhang Qian's expression immediately changed, but she had no choice but to follow Xu Nian.

As she passed by Qiao An'an, she glared at her fiercely and muttered, "Just you wait."

Soon, Xu Nian's boss arrived, closed the office door, and even covered the blinds on the glass windows.

Until two hours before the end of the workday, no one mentioned the matter again.

Qiao An'an has been working tirelessly on the documents.

However, as Zhang Qian left, her eyes were fixed on Qiao An'an as if they were poisoned.

Qiao An'an was focused on the document and didn't notice anything.

After finishing her work, Su Anwei couldn't help but lean closer and say, "An'an, now that the supervisor is backing her up, she shouldn't dare to do that."

"Sister Anwei, I'm fine. I didn't mean to argue with her. I'm new to the workforce, and I'll know how to handle things in the future."

Qiao An'an smiled and looked at Su Anwei, "Sister Anwei, I haven't thanked you for today yet."

Su Anwei waved her hand, "It's nothing, she just takes advantage of being in the HR department to bully us."

Not far away, Zhang Qian watched Qiao An'an from the shadows, her eyes filled with resentment.

Qiao An'an, I will take back everything that belongs to me.

You're just an intern, what makes you think you can fight me?

Qiao An'an was busy with her work.

As for the follow-up to what Xu Nian handled today, she no longer wanted to know, nor was she worried.

If she can't defend against it, then she won't defend against it. If Zhang Qian dares to make things difficult for her again, she won't tolerate it anymore.

However, Su Anwei, who was sitting next to her, thought completely differently. She thought Zhang Qian had gone too far this time, and it was something that had never happened before.

After thinking for a moment, Su Anwei still asked, "An'an, did you offend Zhang Qian the day you reported it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an paused for a moment, thought for a while, and finally shook her head.

"When I reported to the HR department, I reported directly to Fatty Zhang. That day, Fatty Zhang was in a hurry to leave, so he just gave me my employee ID, had me sign it, and then had someone else from the HR department bring me here."

I didn't meet or have any contact with Zhang Qian at all that day. How could I possibly have offended her?

How could two people who have never even spoken to each other possibly offend each other?

Su Anwei was also puzzled. "This is really strange. Although Zhang Qian is arrogant, she has never done anything like this before. This is clearly a deliberate attack on you."

Su Anwei pulled Qiao An'an aside and lowered her voice, "Is it because you're prettier than her that she's jealous?"

Qiao An'an was amused by her words, but her eyes were full of confusion.

"I'm just an intern. First, I've never interacted with her before, and we hadn't even spoken a word until yesterday. Second, I'm just an ordinary-looking person."

Upon hearing this, Su Anwei's eyes widened, and she shook her head in disbelief.

"An'an, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about what being good-looking means? You're not even average-looking!"

Qiao An'an's face instantly turned red. "That's too much!"

"Go ask me if I'm telling the truth. With your looks, you'd definitely be a school beauty in school, and in this company, you'd be the most beautiful one."

Su Anwei covered her mouth and laughed. Suddenly, she thought of something, looked around, and pulled Qiao An'an aside to whisper something.

"Before you came, there was an intern, but not from our department. I heard that the HR department wanted her, but because she was quite good-looking, she left after only half a month of working there."

"Could it be that Zhang Qian just thought she was pretty, and then..."

Su Anwei didn't say what came next, but both of them knew.

Qiao An'an frowned, never expecting that being good-looking could also bring trouble.

I've been working here for a few days now, and I haven't heard anyone at the company say anything special about my appearance. It shouldn't be like that...

"Maybe I offended her unintentionally," Qiao An'an thought to herself. She never caused trouble.

Su Anwei shook her head. "You are serious and responsible in your work. My intuition tells me this isn't about work."

"Then I really don't know."

Qiao An'an also found it strange that she was suddenly being targeted.

The two chatted for a while, then went about their own work.

Qiao An'an had finished organizing the documents and printed them out, but someone snatched them away.

She looked up and saw Zhang Qian...

Qiao An'an's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Qian held the document and gave a cold laugh. "Qiao An'an, come here."

Qiao An'an stood up and looked at her. "Is something the matter?"

Zhang Qian's voice rose, "You can't even organize files properly, and you made a mistake. Do you really think you can graduate like this?"

Qiao An'an frowned; she had checked it repeatedly and it couldn't be wrong.

"You are not us..."

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Sorry, from today onwards, I'm part of Project Department One."

Her tone was contemptuous as she looked at Qiao An'an with disdain, "Qiao An'an, with your way of doing things, if you mess up the project, how will you compensate us?"

Instantly, all the colleagues in the office looked at Qiao An'an.

Qiao An'an said firmly, "I checked it. It's impossible for it to be a business trip. If there really is a mistake, then someone has tampered with my computer."

Zhang Qian laughed, "Qiao An'an, you're not taking your work seriously, and you want someone else to take the blame?"

Qiao An'an understood when she saw her deliberate expression.

Zhang Qian was persistent and, using some unknown means, managed to move from the Human Resources Department to Project Team One. Before, she had been unfairly harassed.

But now she has a legitimate reason to find fault with her at work.
