Chapter 861: Chapter 861: [Extra] Deliberate Difficulties
Shi Zhen didn’t doubt her words; she felt there was no need for the other person to hide anything. If there was really some sort of relationship, it would have been mentioned right away.
Surely, others wouldn’t dare to trouble her in the future.
Since she didn’t admit anything, it probably was just a coincidence.
She continued probing, “I saw Assistant Zhao accompanied you this morning. Do you two know each other?”
“Sort of! He’s quite familiar with my family.” This time Sheng Ning’an didn’t deny it.
Since she was parachuted into the Company, everyone would certainly question her identity. Rather than suspecting her connection to her father, it was better to let them believe she was introduced by Assistant Zhao.
“I see!”
As expected, everyone guessed correctly; the person backing her is Assistant Zhao.
It seems Assistant Zhao has some ties with her family, which is why he arranged for her to intern at the Company, out of obligation.
However, from her description, it seems their relationship is just average, not particularly close.
Favor is something that wears thin the more it’s used. Introducing someone into Zhao Yi is already a huge favor, and if she causes any trouble during her internship, Assistant Zhao might not necessarily shield her.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable after figuring out Sheng Ning’an’s background, Shi Zhen returned to the office clutching her cup.
This world is indeed unfair.
Despite working so hard, she’s at the same starting point as someone with connections.
But no matter who brought her in, she better not affect my work.
Sheng Ning’an returned to the office holding her coffee cup, noticing that everyone’s gaze seemed to have changed again; earlier, they didn’t really care about her, now they looked slightly contemptuous.
Many of those who get into Zhao Yi Technology are highly educated and carry some arrogance.
When a person with connections suddenly appears in the department, it’s natural for everyone to have some opinions. It’s just that some people can keep it to themselves, while others cannot.
Just as Sheng Ning’an was about to return to her seat, someone stopped her and said, “Hey, can you help me print these materials? Thanks.” With that, they shoved the materials into her hands.
Sheng Ning’an frowned slightly. Although the other person’s attitude was problematic, she didn’t want to cause trouble on her first day as an intern, so she patiently asked, “How many copies do you need?”
“Just print ten copies for now!” the person casually replied.
The number was clearly quoted offhand, without any regard for whether printing so many was necessary.
However, Sheng Ning’an said nothing; she put her cup back at her seat and took the materials to the printer.
Printing ten copies only takes a few minutes, but organizing them afterward took more time. Sheng Ning’an got the materials all sorted and was about to return them.
Suddenly, another colleague walked over and placed a thick stack of papers next to the printer, saying to her, “While you’re at it, could you print these too?” The person was about to leave after placing the stack.
Suddenly remembering something, they stopped and said, “Oh, right, I need 60 copies in total, for tomorrow’s conference. Thanks.”
Sheng Ning’an glanced at the clock, there were only two minutes until the end of the workday.
The colleague’s stack needed a significant amount of time just for printing, not to mention the organizing, it couldn’t be done in less than one or two hours.
Moreover, she had clearly asked everyone earlier if they needed help, the colleague could have handed it to her earlier, but they deliberately waited until the end of the day, making it hard to believe they weren’t doing this on purpose.
Regardless of whether the colleague’s move was intentional, there’s no way she’d let her off-the-clock time be occupied.
