Errand Girl
Xiang Jin had been away from Ning City for many years and thus no longer had any friends here. Some of her old friends had even forgotten who she was.
“Director Xiang, how could you be so forgetful?” the woman gave a charming smile. “I saw a newspaper article a few days ago; it said that Director Qin was bankrupt! I originally didn’t believe it, but after that, I saw some posts online. Director Qin in those posts really looks like a completely different person; I almost didn’t recognize him!”
As the woman spoke, she displayed a pitying expression, “Last time, we were all super envious of you, Director Xiang. Not to mention having such a large family business, you even had an around the clock filial husband. After that, you retreated behind the scenes, we still thought you went on to enjoy your life~. Who knew, you were being bullied by that beast wearing human skin, Director Qin…”
This person kept saying ‘Director Xiang’ which finally reminded Xiang Jin of who she was.“You’re Xiao Liu?” Xiang Jin guessed.
“What Xiao Liu? Director Xiang, I have a name. It’s Liu Dan Qing (刘丹晴), you can call me Miss Liu or call me Dan Qing, but don’t keep calling me Xiao Liu. You make it sound as if I’m your errand girl,” Liu Dan Qing rolled her eyes.
Who did she envy the most in the past? Wasn’t it this Xiang Jin?!
This Young Miss who was pampered and spoiled since childhood, when the old one died, she also smoothly inherited and developed the company. She even managed to marry a handsome and capable husband, who wouldn’t be envious?
Back then, she, Liu Dan Qing, was just a rookie secretary. Because she always made mistakes at work, Xiang Jin often reprimanded her, causing her to be put under a tight spot.
Who would expect a novice to be perfect? This spoiled Young Miss would always make a fuss as if her salary was being paid in vain.
The visitor didn’t have good intentions; Xiang Jin and Jing Yun Zhao both felt that this person was making a scene on purpose.Xiang Jin also remembered more about her, and she was quite shocked; Liu Dan Qing in her memories didn’t behave like this.
In the past, she was both young and pretty. It was because she saw a virtuous temperament around Liu Dan Qing that she chose her to work by her side. Unfortunately, Liu Dan Qing back then was quite scatterbrained, so she had to personally teach her a few times. When she thought about it, she couldn’t think of a single occasion where she mistreated Liu Dan Qing.
One needed to know that if she wanted to hire a secretary matching her status back then, she would have hired one with experience. Plus, being her secretary also meant Liu Dan Qing got the best treatment. It could be said that Liu Dan Qing was quite fortunate and should be grateful to her for her promotion.
“I’ve offended you Miss Liu, but I still need you to please move aside. We’re about to leave,” this was all Xiang Jin said after some thought.
She didn’t want to make trouble out of nothing, especially not in front of Jing Yun Zhao.
“What are you in a rush for? What did you guys eat today? Need me to help you settle your bill?” Liu Dan Qing’s stance was odd and flirtatious, even the tone of her speech was coy.
“No need,” Xiang Jin insisted.
“Director Xiang, you don’t need to be polite. I know that you’re not doing that well anymore. I heard that both your company and money were scammed by Qin Zhi Xue. Since you stayed home for so many years and didn’t go out to work, you definitely don’t have any savings left on you. Seeing that we knew each other in the past, I can still afford to treat you to this meal,” Liu Dan Qing mocked. She fished around in her handbag looking as if she was prepared to pay.
However, after a while, she frowned, “Aiya! I only have my cards. I originally wanted to give you 200 yuan to help you with your financial troubles!”
Xiang Jin’s expression turned ugly.
It wasn’t that she didn’t understand these kinds of women; she knew that Liu Dan Qing was showing off to satisfy her own vanity since she thought that she was in a higher position than her now.
