Chapter 174: She was used as a substitute

Xu Jie stared at Chu Che obliquely behind with the light, and couldn't help sighing repeatedly in his heart.
Such a perfect and outstanding man, why is he only able to see Zhao Donghan in his eyes and refuses to cast his eyes on her? Even if it's only one second!
The fate between them was too short, so short that there was only one kiss left.
The chance between people is a very mysterious thing. Before, she and Chu Che were just ordinary colleagues.
Once, Xu Jie worked overtime until late, with vacant steps, and accidentally rolled down the stairs. It happened to be met by Chu Che, who kindly carried her downstairs and drove her to the hospital.
Lying on his broad and strong back, a warmth rose in her heart.
At the beginning, she had nothing but gratitude for Chu Che. Gradually, this gratitude turned into a kind of memory and attention. In the few contacts, her eyes always follow him unconsciously.
His casual smile will make Xu Jie's heart beat faster.
Unconsciously, the frozen heart began to melt. The door that had been closed to all the men for a long time opened a little crack.
Xu Jie can clearly see that many young girls in the company are secretly in love with this handsome and enthusiastic personnel manager. The outstanding him is not the man she can think of. At this point, she knows herself.
She didn't dare to expect to stand beside him, she only hoped that she could protect her not far away with a friend relationship higher than that of her colleagues. As long as she can see Chu Che often, she will be satisfied.
No one thought that an accident would break this balance.
That day, it was Xu Jie's birthday. She and a few friends were celebrating with a drink in a bar. Towards the end of the party, I met Chu Che who was drinking alone.
Chu Che just drank and didn't notice her. The sad look in his eyes made her heart tremble.
After sending her friends away, she turned around and returned to the bar. Pretending to have just seen the other person's appearance, he started talking with Chu Che.
Chu Che was too depressing during that time. So, under the anesthesia of alcohol, he told Xu Jie the troubles he had never mentioned to other people. The sorrow of unrequited love, unspeakable affection, and the contradiction of worrying about being rejected, all pour out to her colleague.
He didn't say the girl's name, but he said his nostalgia for that person.
After two glasses of wine, Xu Jie's eyes were also blurred. After hearing Chu Che's troubles, she also brought back a sad memory.
Five years ago, she was preparing to marry her first love who had been in love for four years. On the way for the two of them to take wedding photos, an accident happened. The two cars collided together and the scene was very tragic.
Xu Jie's fiance died on the spot, and she was also seriously injured. This incident struck her decently, like falling to hell. During that time, her mental breakdown reached its extreme.
From then on, her character began to become depressed and gloomy, shutting herself in the room all day. She locked her heart and refused to accept any man's favor.
Xu Jie and Chu Che, both people who fell into the world, exchanged secrets and shared their concerns for their sweetheart. On Xu Jie's chest, a feeling of sympathy and sympathy was faintly born.
She understands his mood.
In the end, Chu Che drank too much, and couldn't even tell the difference between the south, east and north. Xu Jie is a woman after all, and she is restrained in drinking, so she is still sober.
She helped Chu Che out of the bar, and Chu Che slipped and staggered. Xu Jie subconsciously stretched out his hands and put his arms around his strong waist to prevent him from falling. No, Chu Che took advantage of the trend and hugged her back and kissed her lips in confusion.
Xu Jie was shocked at the time, but somehow forgot to reject it. After a kiss, she blushed and her heart beat, and the feeling of heartbeat she had been missing for a long time returned.
She did not expect that she would feel a colleague. Moreover, this colleague is younger than her. She didn't want to be described as "old cows eating tender grass", but emotional matters were beyond her control.
Why would Chu Che kiss her suddenly? Does he like her a little bit too?
While she was struggling, she heard Chu Che murmur a little helplessly:
"Sorry, I didn't mean it, Assistant Zhao..."
Assistant Zhao.
These last three words completely shred Xu Jie's self-esteem. It turned out that she was regarded as a substitute.
In the company, it is not difficult to guess the person who is called the assistant and the surname is Zhao.
Xu Jie was not convinced, gritted his teeth and thought, when a man finds his partner, character is the most important thing.
What does Zhao Donghan have? Except for a few years younger than her and a little more coquettish, what else is better than her? With a gentle and honest personality, she can completely crush Zhao Donghan, who always puts on a cold look.
If there was no such accidental and brief intimate contact, she would not have moved this kind of delusion that shouldn't have been. But since he provoked her first, she can't be blamed for being overwhelmed. She will not just give up like this, she will try her best to fight for it.
The yellow-haired girl who has no qualifications and became the assistant to the president as soon as she entered the company, why on earth can she be favored by such a beautiful man?
From the moment Chu Che called out "Assistant Zhao", all the unwillingness and humiliation turned into a resentment, whizzing through Xu Jie's heart.
Xu Jie is a black-bellied person. In her bones, there is a kind of almost abnormal obsession. If she doesn't like something, forget it; once she is moved, she will get it by all means. Even if she didn't have the chance, she wouldn't just watch others get it.
When I met at the company the next day, if he greeted her casually, he still kindly called her "Sister Xu". She smiled bitterly, wondering if he had forgotten the kiss yesterday, or if he remembered it, but pretended to forget it.
Either way, it is a sign that he does not want to get closer to her. It seems that everything from the previous night was her own passionate fantasy.
Since he didn't mention it, she also cooperated with him, pretending that nothing had happened, there was no flaw.
However, she began secretly planning to discredit Zhao Donghan.
At that time, Zhao Donghan was in the management, and Xu Jie, as a department manager, was very difficult to manage. Therefore, Xu Jie decided to suppress her from public opinion first.
Many people have seen Zhao Donghan driving to and from get off work in a luxury car, and there has been some rumors. Xu Jie took this opportunity to settle these guesses. Gossiping behind the scenes, saying that she was kept by someone. He also said that out of thin air, the other party was a bald and fat middle-aged man, Zhao Donghan had been kept in care for three years, etc. He had a nose and eyes.
Originally, Zhao Donghan's position was unclear and was criticized and jealous by many people. Xu Jie spread rumors like this, and someone immediately believed it. As the rumors spread more and more, Zhao Donghan's popularity instantly deteriorated.
Since drinking together that time, Chu Che seems to regard Xu Jie as a confidant, and often invites her to dinner and chat, and the topic naturally revolves around the person he has a crush on. Although he never said clearly who that person was, Xu Jie already knew it. Her teeth were itchy with jealousy, but on the surface she had to pretend to be considerate and gentle. Not only is he willing to be a competent listener, but he also shows patience to comfort him in every possible way.
