Chapter 14 It's Time to End up
After taking a shot, Jane returned to Forward Education confidently. She was sure that she was exactly the same as when she went out in the morning, neither changing her clothes nor her hairstyle. But everyone looked at her with a little more meaning. She immediately guessed that the news of her signing the Qin family had spread. There were no secrets in the office after all.
Sure enough, some colleagues who were gossipers asked Jane over to ask her about the rumour. They asked in low voices, "Miss Cooper, is it Edward himself who came over this morning?"
Before Jane could answer, she was suddenly surrounded by at least twenty people.
Everyone was so curious that they were like the students who were approaching the college entrance examination with their thirst for knowledge.
Nodding, Jane answered truthfully, "Yes."
Her words instantly ignited the atmosphere. Someone asked, "How did you manage the Smith family? The Smith family has replaced countless tutors. They have fired many Forward Education A|-level teachers."
"Edward came to pick you up in person! Did you two know each other before?"
"Is Edward easy to get along with? I heard..."
"Have you met Edward's son? What does he look like? Is he super difficult to get along with?"
Jane, who was surrounded by the middle, couldn't speak for a while. Finally someone said, "Look at you guys. Don't you have clients? Be careful with your behaviors."
Hearing this, Jane saw and found that it was Evelyn who didn't get up from the seat and didn't even look here.
Evelyn and Jane were both B-level tutors. Her teaching level was not the highest in Forward Education.
But everyone knew that she, who had a very good relationship with Sofia in private, was eyes of Miss Moore in ordinary tutors. Therefore, everyone just listened to what she said and did not refute it.
But someone liked to refute her, "Yeah, the most powerful and influential person here is Miss Davis. After all, Miss Davis is also a tutor who has applied for the Smith family. Unfortunately, she was not hired."
It was Aaron who had just stepped out of the pantry. Holding a glass of ice juice in his hand, he walked up to Jane and handed it to her, smiling, "Congratulations to Miss Cooper for winning the 'big order' recognized by S City."
Evelyn frowned and glanced, "What do you mean? Complimenting her by belittling me?"
Aaron looked over lightly. With no smile on his face, he said coldly, "Since you know it's boring, you should not be so harsh."
Evelyn didn't expect that Aaron, who had hit her during the day, was now having trouble with her. And his words didn't take into account her dignity at all. Although another half of the tutors in the office went out to class, there were dozens of tutors left.
She had no choice but to turn on her face and say, "Who was the one to be so harsh? I kindly remind everyone not to make gossip into business during office hours. But you just think I'm complimenting myself by scolding her...And what does what I say to other people have anything to do with you? Do you like to stand up for others so much? "
Glancing coldly at Evelyn sitting in the chair, Aaron said solemnly, "If you want to say something, stand up and say it. Are you sitting there pretending to be a big man?"
Evelyn stood up angrily, "Aaron, beware of your attitude!"
Aaron, who was about to continue to refute her, was dragged by Jane beside him. The rest of the people who had seen enough began to step forward to persuade them. The atmosphere in the office was very tense. Sofia, who suddenly came out of the office, said, "What are you arguing about?"
Evelyn immediately burst into tears when she saw Sofia. She complained that she was particularly aggrieved because Aaron picked a fight with her twice a day.
Looking at Aaron who was standing next to Jane, Sofia immediately said angrily with a sullen face, "Mr. Hunter, so you should resolve matters unrelated to work privately instead of in office hours. Even if you encounter something you can't solve, you can find me, or my boss, Mr. Lee. Actually, as a newcomer here, you shouldn't embarrass your seniors. Also, as a man, you shouldn't embarrass a woman. "
As a man, Aaron really didn't want to be in a place full of women, if it wasn't for someone. Hearing this, his face turned slightly red. Of course he could settle Sofia, but he had some concerns as well.
Before he could speak, Jane next to him said calmly: "Maggie, I didn't want to say these words in front of everyone. But since you don't mind, I don't need to cover up for Evelyn. Yes, I came to Forward Education for a month and lost eight customers in a row. Regarding this matter, I am not only sorry for Mr. Lee's sincerity in flying to Night City to hire me, but also for Miss Moore's "support" all the way. But these are not the reasons why some people have been targeting me in secret, right? "
Everyone was surprised by Jane's words, including Sofia. Because this was Jane's first public 'defeating'. Everyone was used to her good temper and even thought she was a little lamb who was easy to bully, and depended on Mr. Lee to help her. No one expected that she would say all these things today.
Evelyn, who was named, was stunned for a moment, then choked up, "What's wrong with me? You mean I'm targeting you in secret?"
Looking at her, Jane said indifferently, "You have said so many ugly things about me to so many people. I don't say that it's not that I am easy to bully but to save dignity for other colleagues. But I don't want to keep your dignity now. Since you didn't want to get along with me, I don't want to be polite to you anymore. Today, in front of Miss Moore and everyone, I will warn you for the first and last time that if I hear any more bad things you say about me, I promise to embarrass you even more than today. "
Because of her height, the angry Jane with dark eyes had an indescribably strong sense of oppression, which made Evelyn choked up and did not dare to refute.
The huge office was silent for a moment. In the end, Sofia broke the silence. She said, "Well, we are all colleagues. If there is any misunderstanding, just say it."
After that, for fear of Jane's rebuttal, she quickly added, "Miss Cooper, please come to the office with me. Everyone else go to work. That's it for today."
After taking a peek at Aaron, Jane followed Sofia into the office. After the door was closed, Sofia immediately said, "Miss Cooper, I don't want to embarrass everyone outside. Actually, I don't agree with what you just did."
She sat in the boss chair, with expression full of seriousness. This time, Jane didn't stand stupidly waiting for her lecture. After pulling the chair across from the desk and sitting down, she calmly replied: "I understand what Miss Moore meant. You want to try to pacify all problems. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, we can also ask you and Mr. Lee. "
Sofia said indifferently, "Since you know this truth, what you did just now was to find a problem for me."
Jane said, "Although I'm new to S City, I've also heard a lot of words that Evelyn is a close associate of Miss Moore. It doesn't matter if these words are true or not. But she does often spread rumors in the office. Although everyone didn't say it on the surface, they were already unhappy in their hearts. "
Sofia said, "These are all nonsense! She and I are just colleagues. Most of what they say in private is false."
Jane said, "I also believe in you. After all, how could you, who are very caring for a newcomer like me, allow someone to do this in secret?"
Sofia didn't speak. She seemed to acquiesce, but actually watched Jane warily.
Jane was also aggrieved, "I'm new here, not understanding the rules of S City. I just heard others' words and learned that my new client has a great background. But signing a bill is not only dependent on the boss's "care", but also the customer's approval. Even if I wanted to give this client to Evelyn, the client would not agree. And the kid from the Smith family only got along with me. "
