Chapter 108: Her First Day On The Job
It was Fang Ya’s first day at work. Overall, she felt pretty good.
It was a pity that her boss was out for a meeting and could not see her.
Fang Ya sat in her office for the whole morning, looking at the books on the bookshelf.
At noon, a little girl from the office next door walked over. “You’re Sister Fang Ya, right?”
Fang Ya stood up and nodded at the little girl. “Yes! You are?”
The little girl smiled. “Hello! I’m Li Meng from the office next door.”
Fang Ya looked at the little girl’s round face and liked it very much. “Li Meng, you’re so cute.”
Li Meng’s face instantly turned red when Fang Ya said that.
“Sister Fang Ya, you’re so nice. They all say that I’m too fat.” Li Meng rubbed her face and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Fang Ya looked at Li Meng and smiled. “How are you fat? You look great!”
As Fang Ya spoke, she sized Li Meng up and down.
Li Meng was slightly plump. She was the kind of woman who would produce a unique charm if she dressed up.
Li Meng had an embarrassed smile on her face. “Well, our section chief asked me to call you over. Let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.
“We have a canteen here for lunch. I’m afraid you could get lost if left on your own,” Li Meng said as she held Fang Ya’s hand.
Fang Ya looked at Li Meng gratefully. “Thank you!”
Li Meng was about to say something when a voice came from the door. “Xiao Meng! Let’s go! Let’s eat!”
Li Meng looked at Fang Ya and said, “Sister Fang Ya, let’s go!”
Fang Ya nodded and followed Li Meng out of the office.
The district government office building had a total of three floors.
The canteen was at the back of the office building.
When Fang Ya followed Li Meng and the rest to the canteen, she found that there were already many people eating there.
Fang Ya looked at the bustling canteen and suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed.
She remembered that in her previous life, she had lived through absurdly miserable days. She had once worked in the canteen of a school.
Every day, faced with greasy dishes and a large pile of kitchen waste, Fang Ya never got a chance to sit down and eat.
At that time, because of Tang Fu, Fang Ya could not find a job.
Fang Ya had never thought that Tang Fu wielded so much power that he could close doors all around her.
But as time passed, Fang Ya had to compromise.
Every day, she buried her head in a pile of dirt. Her originally slender and white hands gradually became black and rough.
Fang Ya was still in a daze when Li Meng called out softly from beside her, “Sister Fang Ya? Sister Fang Ya!”
Fang Ya suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Li Meng. “What’s wrong?”
Li Meng raised the tray in her hand. “Go get some food!”
Fang Ya suddenly had a sudden realization and quickly went to the window to get some food.
Fang Ya and a few people from Li Meng’s office sat together.
Because they were not familiar with each other, Fang Ya just buried her head in her food.
Li Meng was chatting with a few people beside her, while Fang Ya just listened quietly.
Suddenly, a thin and small woman turned to look at Fang Ya. “You’re Fang Ya, right?”
Fang Ya was stunned for a moment. She quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, “Yes!”
The woman looked to be in her forties, and there were wrinkles on her face. “I heard that your husband is He Feng from the Criminal Police Unit?”
Fang Ya nodded and did not hide anything. “Yes!”
The woman looked at Fang Ya from head to toe. “I didn’t expect He Feng to take a fancy on someone like you.”
Fang Ya frowned slightly. She did not like the other party’s scrutinizing gaze.
However, the woman did not seem to have any intention of retracting her gaze. “I heard that He Feng and his ex-wife divorced not long ago and then he got together with you?”
Fang Ya’s expression turned ugly.
Li Meng saw this and quickly said, “Sister Zhai, this is a private matter.”
Sister Zhai continued to ask, “You didn’t interfere in his marriage, did you?”
When Sister Zhai said this, the surrounding people immediately gave Fang Ya strange looks.
Fang Ya’s expression suddenly turned cold. “I’m not familiar with you. Why are you trying to smear my name?”
“You don’t know if I’m trying to smear your name or not!” Sister Zhai snorted with disdain.
Fang Ya took a deep breath and said, “If you have any questions, you can ask He Feng.”
“I can only tell you that we met after his divorce!” Fang Ya’s tone became very cold and hard.
She stood up and said to Sister Zhai, “If I hear any more rumors because of your words, I’ll go to the court and sue you for slander!”
After saying that, Fang Ya picked up her plate, put it back, and left.
Li Meng also stood up.. She wanted to call after Fang Ya, but she sighed and withdrew her hand.
