“Let’s go.” Han Muzi left the conference room after packing her things.
Zhang Yu, who was still in the conference room, lost her cool and blurted, “How many days has this company been in operation? But here she is, receiving orders from clients. I suppose President Han must have procured the client for her.”
After that, Zhang Yu folded her arms in front of her chest and smirked. “She’s a woman who functions by relying on another man; she has no capabilities at all, but she has the audacity to order us around.”
No one agreed with Zhang Yu, making her feel slightly embarrassed to be all on her own, and so she scanned the room.
“Do you guys disagree with me?”
Li Junfeng smiled in response. “If I had the resources, and a beautiful woman like her was willing to rely on me, I’d be more than happy to give her the world.”
“You! You are just shameless and disgusting! Why do you even yearn for such a woman? Do you even know how many times she’s been played with?”
Shu Guo’er kept her documents in the folder before glancing at Zhang Yu helplessly. “Zhang Yu, you seem unhappy to be working here. Why don’t you… quit?”
Zhang Yu glared at her ferociously when she heard that. “What do you mean? Are you chasing me away? Shu Guo’er, since when is it your turn to speak?”
Shu Guo’er held her cheeks between her hands before sighing deeply.
“It’s not my place to say anything, indeed; but you’ve been complaining in front of us constantly. We have all received our salary beforehand, but since you have so much to say, why didn’t you reject it when you first received your salary?”
“I-I…” stammered Zhang Yu.
“Shu Guo’er, that’s not right. Previously, when President Han’s assistant, Secretary Su Jiu, came recruiting us, she didn’t mention that our boss would be this type of person.” Xiao Yiyi, who was sitting near Lin Zheng, took Zhang Yu’s side.
When Shu Guo’er heard that, she cocked a brow at her. “No matter who our boss is, isn’t this just a job? As an adult, don’t you understand of the concept of working after receiving money?”
Xiao Yiyi stood up abruptly before asking her in a raised voice, “What do you mean? Are you saying that we haven’t been working after taking our salary?”
Shu Guo’er smiled faintly when she heard that.
“I didn’t say that, Xiao Yiyi, so please don’t look as if you’re ready to fight me. Aren’t you a polite and gentle girl?”
When she said that, Shu Guo’er signaled with a glance at Lin Zheng, who was seated near Xiao Yiyi.
Xiao Yiyi regained her composure. Lin Zheng is still here, and I think I was acting too fierce just now.
Her expression changed drastically, and she sat down instantly.
However, Lin Zheng was done with arranging his documents by now, and he left the conference room with a blank expression.
“Lin Zheng!” Xiao Yiyi chased after him when she saw that. However, Lin Zheng completely ignored her, and so she took her seat again dejectedly while glaring at Shu Guo’er vehemently.
“Why are you glaring at me??”
“It’s all your fault that Lin Zheng is ignoring me now.”
Shu Guo’er burst out laughing when she heard that. “Hasn’t he been ignoring you all along?”
“You!”
“Yiyi, stop chatting with her.” Zhang Yu gathered the documents and approached Xiao Yiyi. “Why are you wasting your time speaking to her? Just let her be if she refuses to be on the same side as us. Let’s ignore her.”
Xiao Yiyi most probably shared the same thoughts as Zhang Yu, and so the two of them left the conference room together.
Li Junfeng and Shu Guo’er were the only ones left in the conference room now. At that moment, Li Junfeng was eyeing Shu Guo’er with interest.
“You are a rather capable woman. After observing you for some time, I realized that you are quite pretty. Would you like to have dinner with me?”
A trace of disgust flashed across Shu Guo’er’s eyes, but something seemed to click in her mind because she nodded promptly. “Sure.”
Li Junfeng flashed her a bright smile.
…
Since Lin Xinghuo liked the family dinner gown designed by Han Muzi, Han Muzi took the time to complete the final version quickly. After that, she got Yan to get Lin Xinghuo’s measurements immediately, whereas Han Muzi explained the manufacturing details to her.
Lin Xinghuo pestered Han Muzi on WeChat several times over this process.
Lin Xinghuo: ‘As a well-known designer; why didn’t you come over to get my measurements in person? Sob!’
Han Muzi: ‘I have to give Yan a chance. If I were to do everything myself, Yan wouldn’t keep her job.’
Lin Xinghuo: ‘Well, that’s true! Muzi, you are such a kind person! You are always thinking for others!’
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by her reaction.
Is Lin Xinghuo trying to act silly?
Han Muzi: ‘I’m still working. Let’s chat later.’
Lin Xinghuo: ‘Sure, sure, my goddess. Go ahead with your work.’
Her agent felt rather helpless while watching Lin Xinghuo sending text messages non-stop.
“Well, is this necessary? Even if you fancy her very much, shouldn’t you refrain yourself? What if she runs away thinking that you are a homosexual preying on her?”
Lin Xinghuo snapped back to reality with a start when she heard that, and she squeezed her cheeks between her palms. “I don’t look like a homosexual, do I? I just really like my idol. I’m sure she’ll understand!”
“Previously, a female fan waited for you each time you touched down at the airport. She always sent you messages showing her concerns, and she posted things about you on Facebook constantly. Weren’t you suspicious of her?” Chen Fei brought the incident up without an ounce of hesitation to remind Lin Xinghuo brutally.
Lin Xinghuo felt embarrassed, and her lips twitched several times before she waved her arms in dismissal. “Isn’t that the past? I had no idea how it felt to be chasing after an idol.”
“Why don’t you check the text message your cousin sister sent you? I recall that she sent you a message not long ago.”
“Oh, I read it,” replied Lin Xinghuo at the mention of her younger cousin. “However, I’m not interested in her blind date. Besides… how can you possibly meet someone good through a blind date? Just look at how silly in love she is.”
Chen Fei paused while searching for the right words. “That’s not true, because you might meet a suitable candidate on a blind date. It depends on luck.”
Lin Xinghuo was unfazed, and she proceeded to post her photo with Han Muzi on Instagram with a caption—‘I’m so excited to have taken a photo with my goddess! *heart emoji *tongue emoji’
Chen Fei was at a loss for words when he saw her post that.
Not long after she posted on her Instagram, Lin Xinghuo’s cousin sister, Lin Qingqing, sent her a text message.
Lin Qing: ‘Xinghuo, you’re online? I thought you were busy filming until now.’
Oh my, I forgot to hide my Instagram post from her.
Lin Xinghuo: ‘I was busy right up till now.’
Lin Qingqing: ‘Xinghuo, did you read the text messages I sent you earlier?’
Lin Xinghuo: ‘Let me have a look now. Oh, you went on a blind date… Is your date handsome?’
Lin Qingqing: ‘He’s so handsome! Xinghuo, have a look at his photo!’
Lin Qingqing sent a photo over in less than a second, and Lin Xinghuo cried out in surprise before jumping up from her chair when she saw the person in the photo.
“What is it? What is it?” Chen Fei’s heart leaped into his throat by her sudden reaction, and he dashed toward her to steady her on her feet.
“An excellent breed!” Lin Xinghuo praised while staring at the man in the photograph. “Her date this time is really good-looking! Why is Lin Qingqing so lucky?!”
She replied to Lin Qingqing’s text message in a hurry.
Lin Xinghuo: ‘So handsome! But somehow, the man looks familiar.’
Lin Qingqing: ‘You just realized that he looks familiar? He is the dream man of every woman in North City. He is Ye Group’s President Ye, Ye Moxuan! *grin emoji’
“Damn! Lady luck is on this girl’s side. How did she manage to meet such a good man? But… would such an outstanding man be interested in her?”
