After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1438 A Fight Between Colleagues

Mo Zhu looked at everyone unhappily and said, “What are you people looking at? Have you already finished your work?”

The colleague sized up Mo Zhu and said, “Why are you so anxious? We’re all colleagues. What right do you have to lecture us? You’re not even a supervisor yet and you’re already putting on the airs of one. If you really become one in the future, how can we still survive here!”

“That’s right! Who do you think you are! Director Xia doesn’t even chase us to go back to work, so why are you acting like the boss here! Shoo, shoo, shoo! Stay away from us! Just do your own job well! You’re so nosy,” the other colleague grumbled.

Xia He could vaguely hear the commotion in the corridor. She looked outside curiously and asked, “As the director, shouldn’t you go and take a look?”

“What’s there to see? It’s just a few subordinates bickering. That girl is already having a difficult time here. If I stand up for her, she will have an even tougher time in the future,” Xia Wen said melancholically.

There were already rumors that Mo Zhu was someone sent here by the superiors, but they were not able to find out who these so-called “superiors” were, so they had been observing her in secret. Sometimes, when they were angry, they would even mock Mo Zhu directly. Mo Zhu was actually quite tolerant of them and did not argue with them about these things.

“Isn’t that girl from your department?” Xia He asked curiously.

“Yes, she’s one of my subordinates,” Xia Wen said honestly.

“If she’s one of your staff, won’t you lose her trust if you don’t protect her? Why will she still be loyal to you? If someone takes the chance to fan the flames a little, won’t she stop supporting you? If you protect her, you’re just a superior protecting his subordinate. What’s there to gossip about,” Xia He said as she looked at Xia Wen disdainfully.

Xia He was very prone to rashness. In the past, people either gave in to Xia He on account of the Xia family or avoided arguing with her because they could not afford to offend her. The art troupe was also a less complicated workplace. Whoever had good basic skills and was more capable would be liked by everyone.

It was different at Xia Wen’s workplace. There were all kinds of people in this place and they all had their own characteristics and abilities. It was not something that could be easily dealt with. Who knew the kind of support each person had behind him or her?

Xia Wen felt a little emotional for a moment. Back then, he should have asked Xia Mao to let Xia He train with him for a few years and learn how to deal with those sly old foxes. Then she would not be as rash as she was today.

It would also mean that Xia He would not have been bullied by Yang Xin and the Bian family members at that time.

“If you don’t want to go, then let me do it. I saw that girl just now and found her quite beautiful. She seems to be quite an upright person too. I find it unacceptable that such a decent person is being bullied,” Xia He lamented.

Before Xia Wen could say anything to stop her, Xia He rushed into the corridor with a whoosh when he was not paying attention. Everyone looked at Xia He in shock. They did not expect the commotion to have disturbed Director Xia’s guest.

“Are all of you from Director Xia’s department?” Xia He leaned against the door and asked with a smile.

“No, we’re from the department next door,” the colleague said carefully.

“What about you? What’s your name? Are you also from another department?” Xia He said as she pointed at the person standing next to Mo Zhu. Just now, this person had behaved in a very arrogant and domineering manner. People who did not know better would think that she was the one with the final say in this department!

“My name is Cui Fen. I’m also from the department next door. I’m really sorry to have disturbed you. I’ll scold her now!” Cui Fen said with a smile. Anyone who did not know better would think that Cui Fen was the boss!

“Are you her superior?” Xia He asked as she stared at Cui Fen and pointed at Mo Zhu.

Cui Fen was stunned for a moment before saying, “No, no, I’m not her superior…”

“Then it must mean that you’re dissatisfied with Director Xia’s style of working but you dare not bully him, so you’re bullying his subordinates and having fun here, right?” Xia He questioned.

“No, no! That’s not what we mean! It’s just that she keeps rushing us, that’s why we’re a little annoyed. We’re just having an argument. It’s not a big deal,” Cui Fen quickly explained.
