Chapter 250: Nainai’s Sick?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The venue design department heavily sympathized with the fashion design department when they heard that the latter had to work overtime.
It was soon time to get off work. Zhuang Nainai’s body felt limp as she had not eaten for the entire day. She also felt dizzy and sleepy. She stood up lifelessly and was about to follow Su Mei and the others out of the office when she heard a sly, ghastly voice saying, “Who said you could leave?”
Everyone was taken aback and turned to see Zhang Chaowen standing outside his office, his face deathly pale. His eyes were fixed on Zhuang Nainai. He said in a foreboding and gloomy tone, “Didn’t you hear that we have to work overtime?”
Su Mei furrowed her brows. “But that was the fashion design department, we…”
“So you aren’t part of the design team, then? If the fashion design department is working overtime, don’t you feel ashamed if you get off work on time? Or do you think that the venue design is complete?” Zhang Chaowen glanced at his co-workers and smirked. “Zhuang Nainai made a mistake yesterday afternoon, which took me some time to rectify. That delayed some scheduled processes that should have already been completed. So, everyone, you will be working for an additional hour today!”
His words were meant to make everyone angry with Zhuang Nainai, and indeed, everyone could not hold their anger back. They glared at Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
How could this person be so disgusting? Even if he had something against her, did he really have to implicate everyone else?
Zhuang Nainai really felt disgusted, but she lacked the energy to retaliate against him.
Su Mei could clearly feel that something was wrong with her. “Nainai, are you feeling unwell?”
Zhuang Nainai lifelessly said, “I’m fine, I…”
“Not feeling well? I think she’s slacking off instead. Zhuang Nainai, you’re so brazen. Everyone’s working overtime because of you, and you’re shameless enough to look for an excuse to get off work earlier?” Zhang Chaowen quipped sarcastically.
Su Mei knitted her brows. “Leader Zhang, Nainai is really not feeling well, anyone with eyes can see that. She may be down with a fever, you…”
“If you won’t work, get lost! Even if you’re willing to work overtime on her behalf, others may not!”
Su Mei wanted to say something else, but Zhuang Nainai grabbed her arm.
Zhuang Nainai was really not feeling well. However, given the choice of facing both Si Zhengting and Ding Mengya at home or working overtime, she felt that she would rather work overtime.
Everyone continued working. Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to sit down, Zhang Chaowen yelled, “Zhuang Nainai, go to He He Gu and get takeout for everyone. That’s food for 35 people, and get that here within 20 minutes!”
“What are you staring at? Everyone is working overtime because of you! Treating them to a meal is insufficient to compensate them for working overtime!”
“You won’t go? If you won’t, then hand in your resignation letter and scram! The company doesn’t hire idlers!”
Zhang Chaowen must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today!
Although Zhuang Nainai’s body felt limp, she ran to the He He Gu near the office, grumbling as she went.
As the aroma of the food wafted over, she felt nauseated. Perhaps she had deprived her body of food for too long.
Fifteen minutes later, she managed to take away 35 portions of food.
It would definitely take her more than 20 minutes to deliver all 35 portions of food if she made three separate trips to the office to deliver the food in more manageable loads. She gritted her teeth together and held all 35 portions of food in her hands.
She walked toward her office, her frail body struggling to bear the weight of the food. She barely made it past the door of the restaurant when her entire body felt weak and she lurched forward.
Bam!
Zhuang Nainai fell heavily to the ground!
The food splattered on her body, and onlookers gathered around the spectacle.
Zhuang Nainai’s body hurt from the fall. It snapped her back into reality. She moved her arm, wanting to get up. This was when she felt something strange – she paused and jerked her head up. She saw Si Zhengting being ushered out of the Imperial Group’s office by his bodyguards, who were forming a protective shield around him. At that moment, his gaze was fixed on her!
