Chapter 163 Own Talent


    "Mr. Cheng, is it funny?" Seeing that Victor was still grinning cheekily, Melinda was angry. He had no


    idea that he was the one to me for what had happened.


    Melinda''s serious expression confused Victor. He poured water for her and seemed very pleased.


    "This question is very serious. It''s not funny at all. I came here today to talk about it. I have read the


    draft. It is not that bad. And it might be because the colleagues have higher requirement on you, right?


    You happen to have a gap in this period. Next time you improve it, it will be better. I believe in you."


    Victor analyzed carefully, but found that instead of getting serious as usual, Melinda was mocking him,


    as if she had heard some kind of joke.


    The smile at the corner of her mouth looked frightening.


    A beauty who had always been graceful and sensible would be very powerful when she mocked


    someone. It was until this moment that Victor finally felt it.


    "Higher requirement? Are they entitled to question me?" Melinda said in a sarcastic tone, and those


    vicious words were still lingering in her ears.


    Victor became more cautious when she spoke like this.


    "Melinda, we are so familiar with each other. What do you want to say? Just say it out." Victor


    hesitated. He didn''t know how to deal with this woman, but the way Melinda looked at him made him


    timid.

    "Mr. Cheng, we are not familiar," Melinda said with a smile. Though what her colleague said was harsh,


    she had to admit that there was something she did not handle well.


    If she could be more tough, she wouldn''t have been bothered by these things.


    Victor''s mouth twisted in disbelief. He wondered whether Melinda was at her period, where was the


    gentle and kind her?


    "Mr. Cheng, if you want to talk about the manuscript, I have known it. Next time, I will not let everyone


    down." Melinda stood up, bowed slightly, and straightened her back.


    "Mr. Cheng, I hope you will not do anything inappropriate anymore. I really like this job." Melinda turned


    around and said with a smile before leaving.


    She was tired of those schemes. She didn''t want to leave this ce which she had been ustomed


    to for a long time for some ridiculous reasons.


    Victor was still a little confused, but he also read some information from the attitude of Melinda.


    "What''s going on in the editing department?" Unable to think of an answer, Victor asked his assistant.


    The assistant had heard of it and told him everything he knew.


    He even despised Melinda.


    "What a bunch of gossipy women!" Victor said. He let his assistant leave the office. Thinking of what


    had happened, he knew that it was he who had dragged down Melinda.


    "You should change the meaning of this draft and release it in the next magazine." Victor sent Melinda


    a message. After a short while, he received a reply.


    "There is no need. It makes people even more feel that we are rted. By the way, I have


    anonymously submitted it to thepetitorpany." A smile was shown behind Melinda''s words,


    which made Victor think of her fake smiling face.


    Though working at thepany, Melinda was free to write. It would be no problem if her ownpany


    didn''t use her article, she could send her article to otherpanies. She could even earn money using


    an anonymous name in usual times.


    It was the first time that Melinda did this, but she just felt happy. She was a qualified woman, would she


    be afraid that she could not survive in this industry? Of course not.


    She was confident in herself. She dared to submit her article anonymously to otherpany even


    when her ownpany knew clearly it was hers. She knew that thepany would not make a fuss


    about it.


    It was obvious that the quality of the finished draft was not as good as thest one which was denied.


    Since there was a dark curtain for the draft, thepany was not so stupid to do that.


    Victor could imagine that he would be scolded by his leader the next time when he had a meeting. If


    this happened a few more times, he would also be in a bad situation.


    After a thorough analysis, he had to step up in the end, no matter what the situation was.


    Just as the old saying goes, "A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe." Melinda went to work


    every day as usual. Others'' attitude towards her had no longer bothered her. On Friday, Victor wanted


    to make a small private meeting.


    Not everyone in the editing department would be present, but almost everyone was present.


    Melinda walked to her seat, and found the chair was sshed with water. Calmed down, she took out


    the folder from the table and ced it on the seat. She pressed the material with her mobile phone.


    Looking at her behavior, Victor''s eyes twitched. He felt that she was really a little self-indulgent these


    days.


    Those who had nned to tease Melinda got shocked when they saw her behavior.


    Victor started with the same kind of opening remarks. In addition, the staff kept talking about the


    problems that they had encountered at work this week.


    "Good. Everyone is working very hard this week," Victor said. Those people were naturally apuding.


    "You are all very talented people. I hope that you can perfectly demonstrate your talents in the


    company and make yourself more sessful in thepany. Just like Melinda, with her own talents,


    she has won a lot of difficult partners.


    Now many cooperative partnerse to ourpany to ask Melinda to write the article. So I hope


    everyone here will try to let more people see yourselves. At that time, the cooperative partners have to


    carefully choose."


    As Victor spoke, he was vaguely reminding everyone that the reason why Melinda could be so


    sessful now was her own talent, and the reason why they didn''t receive such treatment from him


    was because they were not talented.


    But he hadid a good foundation for himself and given a group of people a way out. They just didn''t


    fully interpret their talents.


    While saying those words like a tongue twister, those people who were smart enough had figured out


    the purpose of the meeting.


    Melinda did this all because of her efforts and talents. She had nothing to do with other things.


    "The superiors have read Melinda''s article and found it not with big problems, but the rules cannot be


    broken. Since it was rejected by you, thepany is not using it."


    After Victor finished his words, Melinda raised her head and gave him a meaningful look. She felt that


    the message she had just received might not be sent by him. How shameless he was.


    But if he was too shy, he would not stay in this position.


    "I''ve already known the reasons. I''ll seriously tell someone that don''t ruin thepany''s atmosphere.


    Don''t bring any rumors or ruin others'' reputation. We all know thew. Don''t say anything about the


    affection in front of me when the case is investigated."


    Taking a nce at Elsa, Victor gave her a sudden strong pressure, and she froze in her seat.


    The ultimate beneficiary of this case was clear to all. She took the opportunity that originally belonged


    to Melinda.


    The same kind of warning, said by Victor, had intimidated many people.


    "I don''t want to be involved in these things. Everyone, be careful with your words and deeds from now


    on. Put such imagination and energy on your work, and I think your ability will definitely be improved,"


    said Victor politely. He was an easy-going leader. He used to make fun of his subordinates, but none of


    them dared to speak to him this time.


    They all lowered their heads, except Melinda.


    The meeting was over and people were leaving. Melinda was still thest one at a slow pace. Victor


    leaned on the door of the small meeting room. He stood up with his back straight as he saw Melinda


    out.


    "Are we going to have a meal togetherter? As my apology," Victor said. Actually, he was going to


    have a party with his subordinates. But he deliberately said that to make fun of Melinda. Hearing his


    words, thetter''s face changed.


    "Mr. Cheng, don''t you think it''s better for us to keep a distance from each other because of your


    generosity just now?"


    Melinda said mockingly. Victor then said in a low voice, "I am going to have a meal with the


    departments to help you reconcile yourself with your colleagues. Are you moved?"


    "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Cheng,"


    Melinda answered perfunctorily, then she went back to her seat from the side of Victor. Sure enough,


    everyone knew about the dinner party and was very excited to have dinner together. Elsa went home


    first in excuse of feeling ufortable.


    The appearance of Melinda was like an ice machine, and the lively atmosphere just now suddenly


    quieted down. Everyone looked at each other, and did not know how to open their mouths.


    "Why are all of you upset like this? You don''t want to go with me? Well, you just help me save some


    money."


    Victor walked out of the meeting room and saw a group of people staring at each other. Melinda knew


    that most of her colleagues were just following others'' opinions. If she was too mean to them, she


    would be very narrow-minded.


    "Mr. Cheng, is your wallet strong enough? You can''t just treat each of us a bowl of Wonton, will you?"


    Melinda teased Victor as she packed up her things. After that, everyone began to talk as well.


    "Maybe he will treat us with roast potatoes."


    "Mr. Cheng is noble, he might not know what roast potatoes are."


    "Mr. Cheng, we want to eat high-ssed cuisine and we want to take our families."


    "……"


    The restaurant they decided to have dinner together at was a restaurant where they frequently went. It


    was said that it owned Victor''s shares, so they ordered the food in a rude way.


    The colleagues deliberately build a good rtionship with Melinda. During the drinking, Melinda was


    the one who got drunk most, except Victor. Only that she could cheat in drinking and drunk some soft


    beverage, while Victor drank the real wine.


    The crowd was boisterous. Melinda had to admit that even though she did not care, she was still


    relieved unconsciously at this time.


    "Melinda, I''m sorry that I have caused your conflict with your colleagues and bothered you. I''ll drink this


    ss of wine first."


    "You''ve already expressed your apology in the best way," Melinda said with a smile. She would still


    have a long way to go at the problem about the colleagues if it weren''t for Victor''s help.


    "Can we be friends?" Victor looked at Melinda with bright eyes, full of expectation.
