Chapter 220 Coaxed Him
Jane said, "I'm so grateful that you could come to my humble abode. How can I blame you?"
Edward said neither warmly nor coldly, "Is this how you usually teach Justin to speak?"
Jane replied, "You think too much. Justin always adheres to his own style and has never wavered."
She had a glib tongue. Edward couldn't get anything on her and simply changed the topic. "How is your company going to deal with this matter?"
Jane knew that he would ask about the photos, and she truthfully replied, "Mr. Lee will thoroughly investigate the people who spread the photos in private. It shouldn't be too long. He will give you an explanation in the near future."
Edward asked, "What did he do to you?"
Jane said, "The thing in the photo was a coincidence. You have clarified it for me. The company will not punish me."
Edward said calmly, "Do you ask too little or does Forward Education have a high threshold? Now you are the victim. It has caused an uproar. Will they only compensate you with no punishment?"
Jane sensed the irony in Edward's words and quickly explained, "At today's meeting, Mr. Lee severely scolded the people who fanned the flames behind his back, and Miss Moore was criticized by him, too. I am the victim, and the company will certainly not confound right and wrong. But now, the most important thing is to deal with the people who leaked the photos. Mr. Lee talked to me in private. He said he always believed me."
Edward said, "If he always believed you and didn't confound right and wrong, you wouldn't have to go back to the community to get the surveillance video. Why are you in a hurry to whitewash your company? Do they give you shares, or is there someone you love from afar in the company?"
Edward's actions remained the same. He carefully cleaned the dishes as if he was obsessive about cleanliness, but his words were sharp. It seemed that he was angry for no reason.
Jane could distinguish the good from the bad. To some extent, Edward was defending her by saying these words. She calmly said, "A listed company is not a family business, and the managers are employees, too. One person can't have the final say. Since someone believed me, someone would doubt me, too. Moreover, I'm just an employee at the bottom. I have to meet the reasonable requirements put forward by the boss, but I didn't do anything bad, and I know that the company will definitely not wrong me. It's just a matter of time to figure it out."
Seeing how composed she was, Edward was unhappy in heart and said expressionlessly, "Does your female superior have a grudge against you?"
Edward only met Sofia several times, but he had noticed it. Jane didn't want to speak ill of Sofia behind her back, so she simply smiled without saying anything. She didn't say yes or no.
Seeing this, Edward said blandly, "The reason why people of the same sex easily become jealous of each other is that they are rivals in love. Do you like the same man?"
Jane had to admit that Edward had a keen sense. In the past, he found that Aaron liked Charles. Such subtle feelings were seen through by him at a glance. At this time, he accurately guessed the reason why Sofia disliked her.
Jane didn't want him to regard her silence as acquiescence, so she explained, "She has to treat me as an imaginary enemy."
Edward didn't care who Sofia liked at all. He said bluntly, "So are you willing to be targeted by her?"
Jane said, "She's my superior. I'm a new employee and can't afford to offend her. I can only avoid her."
Edward looked down and said casually, "Do you want me to solve the problem for you?"
In fact, he originally wanted to say that he would solve the problem for her, but it was too straightforward, and he was afraid that she would think too much.
Jane heard it and shook her head quickly. "No."
After saying that, she felt that she refused too decisively, and then added, "I know you show me respect, and you're thinking for me, but the internal affairs of the company need to be solved internally. If I get you involved, it won't be good for you and me."
Edward put the washed dishes aside. Jane couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He said, "If your superiors are capable enough, they don't have to spend so much effort on the clients. An educational institution has a pestilential atmosphere. There's no doubt that your superior doesn't know how to make proper use of personnel."
The topic at the elevator entrance of the company was mentioned again. Jane felt that Edward seemed to have something to say. She was afraid that he was not talking about Charles, but talking about Aiden.
Both of them were silent and expressionless. Jane said, "This matter has caused an uproar. Mr. Lee is responsible for it. But based on my understanding of him, he will not shirk responsibilities and will try his best to make up for it. As for Miss Moore, she will pay the price for what she did. The company is in the stage of rapid development, so there are too many people and too many things. Employees don't have much time to understand each other. Everyone has their own thoughts, which is bound to cause a lot of unexpected trouble. Even if the manager is the God, he can't control everything, After all, as the old saying goes, we may know a man's exterior but not his heart. "
Jane was speaking for Charles, so Edward couldn't help but say provocatively, "Since you think the person in charge of Forward Education can distinguish right from wrong, you can complain to Aiden. Let's wait and see whether Aiden will keep strictly the rules for reward and punishment or have a bias towards Charles."
Jane said, "No matter how powerful a person is, there are some things he can't figure out at ease. For example, I told you what happened in NW Company before. You didn't know that your employee took advantage of your power to bully people. But if you knew it, you would deal with it impartially. I think this is enough to win people's admiration."
Edward thought she was going to say something else. It turned out that she was beating around the bush to whitewash Aiden. She even took him as an example.
Her words were so unpleasant to hear, but he couldn't find a reason to refute her. D*mn it! How many times had he been rendered speechless because of Verne?
Perhaps Jane couldn't guess Edward's mind accurately every time, but she was always good at observing people's speech and behavior. It was time to end the topic. If they talked further, they wouldn't say anything nice. She put the washed vegetables into the drain basket, pretended to be unintentional, and looked sideways at Edward. She asked as usual, "Mr. Smith, did the sweet and sour fish suit your appetite?"
Edward was angry in his heart. But when he looked at her sincere and innocent expression, reason told him that he had no reason to lose his temper with her, so he could only reply with the same calm face, "It was good."
Jane smiled and said, "I bought two fish. You and Justin can eat two fish separately, and you don't have to compare the fish with each other."
Edward subconsciously asked, "Are the two fish the same size?"
Jane didn't expect him to be so naive, and she was amused. "They both weigh two and a half kilograms, and they look exactly the same. I'm afraid that they are twin fish."
Hearing this, Edward smiled as well. He looked away and said, "How cruel we are. We eat a fish family."
Jane said, "Do you know the famous Internet catchword? A family should be together."
Edward casually asked, "So why didn't you buy the fish's parents?"
He was just joking. Unexpectedly, Jane seriously replied, "A person next door also bought two fish. According to the fish's look, they are probably the parents of my twin fish."
Edward was amused by her. With smiles in his eyes, he forced himself not to laugh out loud and said, "Are you coaxing me as how you coax Justin?"
