The female colleague hadn’t expected Shen Weiyi to come out so quickly and felt a bit guilty for a moment. She thought the bracelet was too pretty, which is why she couldn’t resist trying it on. She also thought Shen Weiyi was making a big deal out of nothing—it was just trying on her bracelet, not as if she was going to take it. There was no need for such a big reaction.
Being just an intern without tact and an unpleasing personality, it was no wonder everyone was ostracizing her.
"Just wear it, what’s the big deal," the female colleague said as she attempted to take it off. But while it was easy to put on, taking it off proved to be somewhat difficult, especially as her urgency made it even harder to remove.
Shen Weiyi, fearing she might apply too much force and break the bracelet, couldn’t help but warn her, "If I were you, I’d be more careful."
The colleague scowled and said, "It’s just a pair of broken jade bracelets, what’s the big deal? If they get damaged, I’ll just compensate you." Although the salary level at Shen Technology was high throughout the industry, she didn’t believe that a freshly graduated intern like her could afford such an expensive jade bracelet. Even if it were true, they would be worth no more than ten or twenty thousand at most—the colleague could afford that.
Besides, the other woman had just come back and carelessly placed it on the table, it might even be counterfeit bought online.
Shen Weiyi responded, "Indeed, it’s no big deal, just over a million."
"Ha!" The colleague burst out laughing upon hearing this.
After giving Shen Weiyi a once over, she said sarcastically, "Some people really talk without thinking. Why don’t you just say ten million? This kind of thing, there’s plenty on TaoBao—9.9 with free shipping, 19.9 with a certificate. If you like, I can accompany you to buy a bunch."
"I’ve already warned you, whether you believe it or not is up to you," Shen Weiyi didn’t want to argue further.
She didn’t know what the hiring standards at Shen Technology were, but they seemed to hire all sorts, suggesting that they should add an assessment item during recruitment.
She thought that while an employee’s capability was important, a person’s character was also very important.
The woman wanted to say something else when a colleague nearby suddenly tugged at her sleeve.
"What?" the female colleague asked impatiently, turning around.
The latter whispered a reminder, "I think she might be telling the truth, you should be careful when you take it off!"
The female colleague, seeing that her counterpart was actually siding with Shen Weiyi, immediately retorted sarcastically, "You believe her when she says the bracelet is worth over a million? Have you thought about whether a mere intern like her could even afford it?"
"But there’s a receipt here, it really is worth that much." The female colleague had just seen a receipt in the box when she opened it, and the price indeed matched what Shen Weiyi claimed.
Although she was also somewhat skeptical, it was unlikely that someone would buy a fake jade bracelet and purposely make a fake receipt for it.
That could only mean the jade bracelet was genuine.
And a fake certainly wouldn’t have such clarity in quality, it looked real to her as well.
She just didn’t know how someone so young could have such expensive items, and moreover, to carelessly leave it on the table, it seemed it wasn’t much to her.
Either her family was very wealthy, or quite extremely so.
The female colleague was stunned, staring at the string of digits on the receipt as if someone had suddenly choked her. Her face rapidly flushed red then quickly turned pale, and after a long while, she finally exclaimed in disbelief, "How is that possible? How can she, just a minor intern, possibly afford a jade bracelet worth over a million?"
