Qin Chuan walked out of Director Julie's office, his heart was full of anger and disappointment, but his face was still calm.

Julie, 38 years old, is of German origin. She has short hair cut to meet her ears. She is serious and unsmiling. She never sloppily replies to emails and speaks in meetings, which often makes people feel difficult to deal with.

There are two supervisors under her, Qin Chuan and Pradeep. This arrangement is not accidental. She deliberately indulges the discord among her subordinates, and acts as a peacemaker herself, enjoying the pleasure of everything waiting for her to decide.

If everyone who can become a director in a big factory has two brushes, then Julie's brush will take credit.

This time Qin Chuan made great contributions to protecting the company's commercial secrets, but the next day, Julie described the whole incident to the top in the way of No. 1, which weakened Qin Chuan's role in it, and she herself Got all the compliments and favors.

Qin Chuan didn't care about this matter.Although Pradeep was the first to take bribes and steal secrets, he didn't think it was worth showing off on the stage.After all, a thousand people have a thousand mouths, especially in a small group of Indians, the right and wrong of many things will be distorted and magnified.Therefore, Qin Chuan allowed Julie to publicize her own achievements in her senior year without making a public announcement.

What really made Qin Chuan angry was that when he held a meeting with Julie, he proposed to lead the team to complete the project this time, and hoped that the performance appraisal could give their group a few promotion places, but he was unreasonably rejected.It is said that his project went online smoothly and received unanimous praise. If you pay, you should be rewarded. However, Julie is currently busy looking for Pradeep's replacement, making rumors in a hurry, offering high salaries, and poaching people everywhere.

After the meeting with Julie, Qin Chuan walked to his seat and sat down. Although he had heard a lot of office politics in Dachang, when he led a group of subordinates to finish the project day and night, not only did he not get rewarded , when he was still suppressed, he still couldn't help feeling wronged.The upcoming performance evaluation, if he can't meet the salary and promotion expectations of his employees, then their resignation and job-hopping will be inevitable.

He was having a headache and saw Lin Nan walking back to his work station.

Qin Chuan: "Nan, do you want to have a cup of coffee together?"

Lin Nan lowered his head, avoiding his gaze, and said, "Uh... I still have something to do, next time."

Lin Nan has been avoiding Qin Chuan recently, and this is the first time he has rejected him.Qin Chuan understood that this was all because Wenwen alluded to Qin Chuan and Lin Nan in front of everyone last time, and questioned Qin Chuan's inability to be equal.

Qin Chuan had no choice but to smile: "Then you should be busy, let's talk about it next time."

After work, Lin Nan arrived home, ready to order a takeaway for dinner.After so many years in the United States, he is still not used to eating. Although he can cook dishes similar to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, living alone, cooking has become a troublesome thing with a sense of ritual.So from Monday to Sunday, he would regularly order those dishes back and forth in several restaurants for takeaway. After eating for more than half a year, the taste became more and more tasteless.

Suddenly Lin Nan's cell phone rang, and he picked it up. It was Qin Chuan's call.

Qin Chuan: "I'm downstairs at your house. I have something delicious. Come down and get it."

Lin Nan: "You...why are you here?"

Qin Chuan: "Don't whine, there are too many things, come down and help me get them."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan suddenly turned around and looked at his messy room, not knowing where to start tidying up.He quickly put the packaged snacks on the coffee table into the trash can, and threw the pile of clothes lying on the sofa into the laundry basket.

The doorbell rang, and he quickly looked out through the cat's eye. Qin Chuan was already standing outside the door, so he had no choice but to open the door and said embarrassedly, "Why didn't you tell me in advance, the house is a little messy."

Qin Chuan: "Well... your pajamas are interesting." After speaking, he walked in on his own.

It was only then that Lin Nan noticed that he was wearing a pink nightgown with a little white rabbit printed on it. This was bought by Lin's mother at a discount in the supermarket, and Lin Nan was forced to bring it to the United States.Lin Nan thought: This is too shameful! !

Qin Chuan said aggrievedly: "It's hard for you to make appointments recently, why do you keep avoiding me?"

Lin Nan stammered, "I...no."

Qin Chuan sighed and said, "Hey, I knew it, and you wouldn't admit it if I asked you. So, I have no choice but to coax your stomach."

After speaking, Qin Chuan took several large bags of ingredients to the kitchen and started cooking.He didn't know where he learned this skill, and he made a sukiyaki with three times, five times and two divisions.Lin Nan's room was very small, so the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground and ate the pot on the coffee table.

The chubby orange cat smelled the aroma, put its two front paws on the coffee table, stood up, looked at the pot eagerly, and wanted to get a bite too.

Lin Nan ate with relish: "Qin Chuan, you are too good, this is really delicious!"

Qin Chuan smiled: "As long as you like it, eat less takeaway in the future. If you want to eat something good, just call me, and I will come and help you."

Lin Nan's heart warmed up, but then he felt something was wrong: "But... Will my colleagues say you are biased again?"

Qin Chuan subconsciously raised his hand and touched Lin Nan's head: "Fool, I don't care what they say about me, but if you ignore me, I will really feel sad."
