If she wanted to know, the only way would likely be to ask him directly or those close to him.
But they probably wouldnāt tell her so easily.
"Iām starting to think none of you want to work anymore!" Lin Qiangās voice suddenly rang out, "Gossiping during work hours!"
Everyone returned to their positions.
Lin Qiang used Eleven as a scapegoat, standing before her and scolding, "I donāt care if youāre Fang Eleven or Shang Qianxun, donāt think that just because you have someone supporting you from behind, that you can do whatever you want in this company!"
"Yes, Iāll take your advice to heart."
Eleven didnāt retort, and Lin Qiang had nothing more to say.
She was just an artist contracted by the company. Previously as her assistant, if she wanted her to leave, she would have had to go. Now, whether to fire her, itās up to Human Resources, no, itās up to General Xia, or perhaps the person behind her.
"I canāt wait to see how long that person behind you can protect you!"
Once Lin Qiang left, the others consoled Eleven a bit.
They all believed, indeed someone was protecting Eleven, whatever Lin Qiang said was harmless.
Before Xiao Man left, she advised her, "Qianxun, I donāt know why Sister Qiang has been targeting you. But what I find strange is, you donāt seem like someone who absolutely needs this job. If your friend can help you keep it, why not switch to somewhere else? Instead of enduring Sister Qiangās temper here every day, I think itās better for you to ask your friend for help, and change jobs. Think it over."
The others too felt that Xiao Man had a point.
Seek help from Gu Liancheng?
Yes, itās just a job, how simple it would be for him.
"Itās fine, Iām graduating in a few days. Iāll consider changing jobs after graduation. Itās just a few days more."
Lunchtime.
Knowing Gu Liancheng would come to find her, she dared not dawdle at work, packed up quickly and left so as not to have him waiting outside. If he got impatient and came straight into the company...
She didnāt want to imagine the chaos that would cause.
As she was leaving, two female employees stood by the water cooler, in deep conversation.
"Hey, I heard that Song Jiaqi is quite accomplished in all aspects. It seems higher-ups might save the last spot for her."
"Really? Song Jiaqi and An Hao are good friends, arenāt they? Their performance is roughly the same, isnāt it?"
"Donāt you think Song Jiaqiās temperament matches the other two in the girl group more? An Hao... sometimes sheās a bit odd, you canāt really figure out what kind of person she is."
They were discussing her friends, so Eleven interrupted, "Sorry to butt in, but were you talking about Song Jiaqi and An Hao just now? No... donāt worry, I wonāt tattle. Iām just curious, what did you mean by āthe last spotā?"
"The company is planning to launch a new girl band, two slots have already been filled, and thereās only one spot left. We are just guessing, maybe Song Jiaqi will get it."
The two didnāt want to stir up trouble, so they left after they finished speaking.
Only one spot left?
That meant... either An Hao and Jiaqi both didnāt make it, or... only one of them could stay?
As Eleven was thinking, An Hao and Song Jiaqi appeared.
The two were still chatting and laughing, while Eleven was worried, did they know about this?
"Qianxun! Why are you standing here alone, were you waiting for us to have lunch?" Song Jiaqi asked as she quickly approached.
