She placed her hand on it and faced the numbers.
1205; her birthday…
Ka! The safe opened.
There was not much stuff inside… no gemstones or whatnot; there were only some documents. Chu Lui would never place materialistic things in here but in the bank.
Xia Ruoxin reached her hand in and took out everything from the inside. Then, she sat on the floor and placed all the documents on her lap to look at them. Wedding certificate… their first wedding certificate was still here. The man on it was much younger and much colder while the woman was much simpler and did not have any regrets or hatred. He was not smiling, and in his eyes, there was even a bit of hatred while she was smiling… smiling foolishly.
However, the words ‘not effective’ have already been chopped on the book. She took out another book; this was new and recent. He said that he would give her a luxurious wedding. Would he? She had never thought of it. It was as if she and this man were destined to not be together; if they were, all kinds of disasters and troubles would come their way. In the end, the people around them would get affected.
It was a new wedding certificate. The thirty-year-old man was much more mature and handsome than the one from a few years back; his five features were still like the past, but time had given them maturity and security. His lips were curled up, and it melted his original stiff expression. Now, he seemed much friendlier; and even though he did not smile widely, one could tell from his small expression that his mood was very good.
As for the woman, the years passed did not leave much of a mark on her. She was still like her past self, but who knew…? Whatever she experienced the past few years was not explainable in just a mere few words. She closed the wedding certificate and flipped the other documents. There were some confidential documents from the Chu Enterprise and also the transfer assets document. Now, under her name, was the entire Chu Enterprise. If she was willing, she could destroy the entire company.
She placed the items back locked the safe again.
Then, she changed into new clothes and rode a car to the Chu Enterprise. In the future, this was her world, her business empire. However, honestly, she did not feel much about it and was quite nonchalant. Perhaps it was because her heart had stopped and was already dead.
When the receptionist saw her, she did not dare to stop her. The new employees also looked at her while standing. All of them remembered this face clearly. One could offend anyone, but there was this one person one could never, ever offend.
She was Xia Ruoxin. She would not quarrel or cause a commotion; she would just turn around to leave, pull a long face to the CEO, and ask him to fire the person out.
Everyone would not forget that because of one sentence from this Ms. Xia, the four security guards that she did not like were fired. Before the CEO’s new secretary could warm her seat and achieve her dreams, she did not even give her the honor to be busy because she stopped this Ms. Xia. Now, they heard that she was looking for a job, but no company wanted to hire her. A fresh graduate from a famous university could actually not find a job. It seemed like it had never happened before, and so she was working as a cashier in a small supermarket.
The people that Chu Lui fired… even though he did not block them off, all those who had business dealings with the Chu Enterprise would not dare to accept such a person. Hence, everyone had to be more alert and much smarter. Of course, they had to do things smarter.
Xia Ruoxin took out a card from her bag and swiped the elevator. This elevator was not used much, unlike the others one that kept going up and down all day.
Hey, was there another one there? A new employee could not squeeze in after a few tries. Now, it was the period where everyone was going to work and trying their best to go up. Now, she was becoming even more anxious as they had to punch their card.
The welfare at the Chu Enterprise was good, but they had a lot more rules.
Just not punching the card once and forgetting to punch the card were not something to be played with. They would lose their hardworking award, and it would be recorded; perhaps they might not even get their bonus.
Their CEO was a workaholic and was, of course, punctual. To be his employees, they first had to be punctual as well. Just that, everyone was using the workers’ elevator, and the few elevators were bursting. If one could not squeeze in, there was not much time away from the start of work. All the people who were late now must be wondering why they did not come earlier; even five minutes more would save them a lot of trouble.
When this employee saw the elevator at the side, he hurriedly ran over. Even when the others wanted to remind him, it was too late.
“Fifteenth floor, thank you.” He heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest like he was thankful for the last-minute save.
However, after waiting for quite some time, no one helped him press the button. The elevator rose very fast and was already on the fourteenth floor. Hurriedly, he went forward to press, but no matter how much he pressed on it, the button would not light up.
Why did it not light up? Was the elevator spoiled?
He was frightened until he started breaking out in cold sweat. This could not be. It really could not light up… what was he going to do?
He was going to be late. This one time would take away his hardworking award and bonus.
The elevator stopped at the eighteenth floor, and he had a look of weakness on his face. He looked like a dog that was sticking out his tongue; it was kind of cute. Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes and walked out. Just that the poor new employee did not even know that this elevator went straight to the eighteenth floor.
“Go take the other elevator. If you don’t go down, you will really be late.”
Xia Ruoxin reminded him nicely as she looked at the diamond-studded watch on her wrist. There were still a few minutes left.
When the new employee heard it, it was as if someone was going to beat him up; and he ran towards the other elevator. The elevator was rising first, and when he looked up, he saw Xia Ruoxin’s smile.
Her makeup was light and was not like an employee in the company. She was not wearing any working clothes, just a long dress with a pair of black high heels. She had distinct features and was beautiful. This face was imprinted in his mind, and after being stunned for quite some time, he still did not know what had just happened.
