As she left the manager’s office, the colleagues outside were gossiping.
"She’s just an intern, how does she have such great skills?"
"Tsk, didn’t you see how pretty her face is? Probably she’s..."
"Hey, she’s coming out."
Seeing her co out, the colleagues imdiately fell silent and dispersed.
Yu Sangwan’s face was deathly pale, her hands clenched tightly. She had just entered the workplace and had never experienced such humiliation before. But strangely enough, none of this truly counted as humiliation. What Lu Jinxuan gave her, was it really anything to be proud of?
She shook her head, pushed her thoughts away, steadied her mind, and started her work.
In the afternoon, there was a jewelry launch event, and their website was one of the regional PR sponsors.
The event was held at Donghua International Expo Center, and Yu Sangwan’s team arrived quite early to handle on-site organization and publicity. The preliminary work was done, and the on-site work was tedious but not complicated. Due to colleague exclusion, Yu Sangwan only did miscellaneous tasks.
"Yu Sangwan, go grab so food and drinks."
"Okay."
Yu Sangwan agreed, turned around, and went to get them.
The venue had a buffet area, and since it was still early, there were not many people around. Yu Sangwan walked straight to the table, picked up a tray, and placed so food and drinks on it.
As she turned around, she heard strange sounds beside her.
"Uh... ah..."
Yu Sangwan frowned, it sounded like a woman in pain? Curiously, she followed the sound which was coming from behind the curtain.
"Miss, are you okay?" Yu Sangwan raised her right hand, just lifted the curtain, and was struck with a scene that made her blush!
Behind the curtain, An Zihao and Xu Hui were holding each other in disarray, and the ’painful’ sound was coming from Xu Hui.
All three were startled, Xu Hui’s anger flared up instantly, and she coldly stared at Yu Sangwan, "Oh, look who it is, Zihao’s cheap little sister!"
Yu Sangwan was jolted, the tray fell with a bang, and the contents scattered, with cake saring over Xu Hui’s shoes.
This provoked Xu Hui’s embarrassnt and anger, taking the opportunity to point at Yu Sangwan and curse, "What are you doing? Do you know how much my shoes cost? Unlike you, all decked out in cheap stuff! Look what you’ve done to them? You did it on purpose, didn’t you!"
"..." Yu Sangwan’s face alternated between green and white, she pulled out tissues and handed them to her, gritting her teeth and saying, "Wipe them?"
Xu Hui sneered, "You wipe them!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, looked helplessly at An Zihao.
An Zihao, feeling guilty, quickly took the tissues, forced a smile, and appeased Xu Hui, "Don’t be so angry, I’ll do it, I’ll help you wipe..."
Xu Hui wouldn’t relent, she shot him a vicious look and shouted, "Are you feeling sorry for her? Are you really siblings? Or is there sothing inappropriate between you?"
Inappropriate? These days, even mistresses are this arrogant.
"Hmph." Yu Sangwan couldn’t hold back and laughed sarcastically.
When Xu Hui heard it, she jumped up and grabbed the tissues, threw them at Yu Sangwan’s face, "Wipe! Otherwise..."
She glanced at Yu Sangwan’s uniform, haughtily demanding, "You’re here to work, aren’t you? Do you believe I’ll report this to your boss? We ca in with invitations as VIPs..."
"..." Yu Sangwan’s face alternated between green and white, she stared at An Zihao, her palms clenched tightly.
At this mont, she fervently wished he would say a few words in her defense, but he didn’t... An Zihao’s eyes dodged, he didn’t dare et hers!
All around was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
Yu Sangwan was isolated and helpless, she could only bend down, slowly crouch...
Outside the door, down the corridor, Lu Jinxuan in casual attire was passing by with Tang Yueze and happened to see this scene.
"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan’s face darkened, he coldly instructed Tang Yueze, "You go."
"Yes!"
Tang Yueze walked straight in without another word.
"Miss Yu."
Yu Sangwan’s hand, just about to land on Xu Hui’s shoe, was pulled from the depths of humiliation by Tang Yueze’s voice.
"Mr. Tang..."
An Zihao and Xu Hui froze, they naturally recognized Tang Yueze as Donghua’s assistant to President Lu. President Lu of Donghua rarely appeared, few had t him, and Tang Yueze was basically Lu Jinxuan’s spokesperson.
Yet, at this mont, Tang Yueze didn’t even glance at them, and respectfully stood in front of Yu Sangwan, speaking warmly, "Miss Yu, I’ve been looking for you for quite a while, you’re here! President Lu is waiting for you in the private room!"
An Zihao and Xu Hui exchanged glances, what’s going on? Is the President Lu ntioned by Tang Yueze, Lu Jinxuan? Lu Jinxuan waiting for Yu Sangwan... what is their relationship?
With her dignity upheld, Yu Sangwan bit her lower lip, suddenly stood up, smiled radiantly at Tang Yueze, "Really? He’s waiting impatiently, I’ll go right away."
"Miss Yu, please..."
Then Tang Yueze coldly glanced at An Zihao and Xu Hui, his tone icy, "Please step aside, don’t block Miss Yu’s way; angering President Lu, can you afford it?"
"...Yes."
An Zihao hurriedly pulled Xu Hui over to the side, neither of them had ti to react.
"Miss Yu, this way please..."
Yu Sangwan followed Tang Yueze to Lu Jinxuan’s private room, Lu Jinxuan rubbed that antique lighter with his right hand, a teasing smile on his lips, "You’re here?"
"Young Master, I’ll step out." Tang Yueze bowed and closed the door as he left.
"...Thank you." Yu Sangwan pursed her lips, "Uh... I’ll go out too."
Lu Jinxuan suddenly stood up, approached her leisurely, and slightly bent down, "Cross the river and tear down the bridge? Not a good habit, I’ll be displeased."
"Then what do you want?" Yu Sangwan looked upwards into his eyes, his deep eyes seed like whirlpools, staring too long would lead one to sink. "Anyway, I’m not selling!"
"Alright, as you say, you won’t sell, I won’t buy. Be my woman... no one in this world will dare humiliate you!" Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, the lighter’s lid clicked shut, then he casually slipped it into his pocket, extending his long arm to pull Yu Sangwan into his embrace.
His warm breath brushed against her face, tickling, "Try it? We were quite in sync that night."
Yu Sangwan’s cheeks ward, her pink lips slightly parted, uncertain about the aning of ’try it.’
"You..."
"As long as you nod, everyone will kneel at your feet!" Lu Jinxuan was resolute and confident.
Looking into his eyes, Yu Sangwan’s heart raced.
’Thump thump’, a knock on the door, Tang Yueze walked in, apologetic, "Young Master, it’s starting."
"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan nodded, naturally pulling Yu Sangwan onto the sofa.
This was an exclusive auction room, only the most honored guests could enter. Opposite the sofa was a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, allowing a view into the auction hall below.
Lu Jinxuan’s palm supported Yu Sangwan’s shoulder, pulling her closer, "Is there anything you fancy? I’ll buy it for you."
"..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth, unable to say anything, but her heartbeat sped up. She didn’t want anything, yet hearing a man say such things always brought feelings to a girl.
In the showroom below, jewelry was being displayed one by one. It was a jewelry launch event, naturally ant to enhance the brand image.
In the hall seating, Xu Hui held An Zihao’s arm, laughing charmingly, "Make sure to get that design you promised !"
"Rest assured." An Zihao pinched her cheek, "Such small matters, how could I fail to get you what you desire?"
