Yan Xinxin thought she must be seeing things, but the lively, vibrant girl not far away genuinely walked up to her.
"Xinxin, long time no see!"
"Yes, yes! Isn’t it fate that we’re meeting here? You have to guide me as a newbie from now on, okay?"
"Did you forget? We were in the same group of trainees for the appraiser examination. I’m just a newbie too."
"Hmm... then how about we learn and grow together and reach new heights?"
Yan Xinxin smiled and nodded. Her previously bad mood suddenly lightened up quite a bit.
Tong Lili, watching from the side, was starting to get visibly annoyed.
"Hah, so turns out you two are in this together!"
Yan Xinxin and Lu Chenxue went to the restaurant downstairs from the office building for lunch.
Many people who saw Yan Xinxin felt that she looked familiar, and soon it struck them.
Wasn’t this the woman who recently married the top young master of the most prestigious family in Ancheng, Yan Xinxin!
"Xinxin, you’re like a celebrity now. Everyone seems to know you!"
Lu Chenxue sighed with a mix of amazement and amusement.
"But you’re such a low-key boss lady, working as a junior employee in the jewelry design department."
"My kind of ’fame’ only lasts for three minutes. Everyone will soon forget about me. As for work... my dream is to become an excellent jewelry designer."
Talking about her dream rekindled a small spark of motivation in Yan Xinxin’s heart.
"Xue, tell me, why didn’t you let me know you were coming here for an interview?"
"Of course, I wanted to surprise you!"
Lu Chenxue joked, blinking playfully before turning serious for a moment.
"Actually, after getting my certification, I first went to interview at the Xiao Group. But do you know what the supervisor there said?"
Could it be Xiao Yiran’s company?
"The supervisor there said my image and dress weren’t sexy or pretty enough, so they outed me! Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?"
"A company reflects its boss. Not hiring you is their loss."
Hearing these words, Lu Chenxue was momentarily stunned, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Xinxin, do you also know about that infamous Xiao young master? Is he really as lecherous and flamboyant as the rumors say?"
"I have no idea what he’s really like, but as far as I know, he’s got something wrong with his brain."
Lu Chenxue was bewildered and shocked.
Yan Xinxin smiled faintly.
"Let’s not waste time talking about someone so off-putting. Hmm, this meal is on me today, to celebrate your joining the Di Jue Group! From now on, I’ve got a dining buddy!"
"I’m already scared eating with you today, considering you’re Young Master Mo’s woman!"
Lu Chenxue teased with a mischievous wink.
Yan Xinxin lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Thinking about her current relationship with a certain someone, a bitter taste slowly spread in her heart, like plain water seeping through.
After the lunch break, it was back to work.
Yan Xinxin didn’t let her mind wander and focused solely on her tasks, and before she knew it, it was the end of the workday.
Everyone naturally assumed that Yan Xinxin would go home with Mo Chuxi, but to avoid giving anyone gossip fodder, she took the VIP exclusive elevator and then went up to the street level from the basement to catch a ride.
A certain studio apartment.
As Yan Xinxin opened the door, the mouthwatering aroma of food instantly wafted over.
Lan Xuan was coming out of the kitchen holding a plate of food. Seeing Yan Xinxin back so early, she froze in her tracks, looking startled.
"Xinxin, why are you back so early?!"
Yan Xinxin glanced at her watch.
"Maybe traffic was lighter today?"
She spoke as she changed her shoes and walked in.
"Smells amazing. Lan Lan, when did you learn to cook?"
"Uh... well, actually, I... these are, uh, takeout that I reheated."
Lan Xuan stammered, awkwardly explaining while glancing back at the kitchen.
"What are you looking at?"
Yan Xinxin curiously followed Lan Xuan’s gaze, also turning toward the kitchen.
"Don’t tell me the delivery guy hasn’t left yet?" Follow current novᴇls on novel⚑fire.net
