After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 387 - 385 Being Favored by the Beloved in Public
Chapter 387: Chapter 385 Being Favored by the Beloved in Public
Having a Liu Xiaozhen, that green tea, occasionally show up in the office was already annoying enough, but fortunately, Lu Zhaozhao had spoken up before, and Xia Wenqing came to know Liu Xiaozhen’s true colors.
She didn’t need to waste too much breath on her.
Now, a white lotus had been sneakily placed in the office, who constantly whimpered in front of Xia Wenqing to make her presence felt.
Could she even live her life anymore?
Xu Zhenzhen walked over to Xia Wenqing with a defeated look, not even wanting to talk.
Xia Wenqing noticed the change in Xu Zhenzhen’s expression, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she asked in a lowered voice, "Do you like this new woman in our office?"
Xu Zhenzhen was visibly startled, not quite grasping Xia Wenqing’s implication.
She was dumbfounded, then heard Xia Wenqing continue, "Didn’t you say before that for a woman you’re not sure is good or bad, it’s me you would ask?"
"!!!"
Xu Zhenzhen felt instantly charmed by Xia Wenqing!
She had clearly said before, "When a woman whose nature you’re uncertain of appears by your side, at that moment, if your girlfriend says she doesn’t like this girl, then you must definitely not interact with her."
Xu Zhenzhen’s heart suddenly started pounding wildly, the "thump, thump" of its beating so clear it seemed to reverberate through her chest.
She took a deep breath in secret, pretending to be calm as she looked at Xia Wenqing, then slowly began to speak, "I don’t like her. If Liu Xiaozhen is green tea, then she’s a white lotus."
Nobody good, either of them.
Xia Wenqing nodded, "Mhm, I’ll listen to you."
As he spoke, he lifted his head to look at Hao Jiayi on the side and said coldly, "Secretary Hao, if you can’t control your emotions, then don’t appear in my office, you’re seriously affecting my work efficiency."
Not only Liu Xiaozhen and Hao Jiayi were shocked by this, but even Xu Zhenzhen herself was astounded.
I mean, family, a man who listens to advice is really a treasure, isn’t he?!
Especially a man who listens to his own advice.
Xu Zhenzhen now looked at Xia Wenqing as if he were a freshly opened bottle of cola, and the bubbles in her heart surged wildly.
She even had the illusion that regardless of whether this man was hers or not, based solely on the fact that he had just now fully heeded her word, believing the other party was a white lotus to such an extent, she was determined to see it through with Xia Wenqing to the very end!
Hao Jiayi was still crying, but upon hearing Xia Wenqing’s words, she suddenly didn’t know whether to continue crying or not.
Just moments ago, Xia Wenqing didn’t seem to harbor that much hostility towards her, so why, after Xu Zhenzhen came over and said a few words, did he start to find her displeasing?
Hao Jiayi clenched her fists. Had she really underestimated this woman?
Although she hadn’t been in contact with Xu Zhenzhen for long, she could tell at a glance that this woman wasn’t the conniving type. In her company, such people could only suffer in silence.
Especially in front of a man.
Yet she managed to turn the tables against the wind!
Hao Jiayi couldn’t understand where she had gone wrong.
"I’m sorry, Lawyer Xia, just now I was just because, because..." She sniffed, sounding pitifully pathetic.
Her gaze turned to Xia Wenqing, unintentionally sweeping past Xu Zhenzhen before quickly retracting as if afraid of being scolded for being slow.
Her blatantly fearful expression was practically shouting that she feared Xu Zhenzhen.
How could Xia Wenqing fail to see it?
He glanced at Hao Jiayi and said indifferently, "It seems you and Assistant Xu won’t be able to mesh well in work for the time being, so wait until you can before coming back to my office."
Hao Jiayi’s action of sniffling came to an abrupt halt, leaving her completely stunned. "Lawyer Xia, I..."
"I’ve heard you were recommended by the Feng family. If you have no work experience, you should learn properly instead of crying all the time; otherwise, you’re just embarrassing your family," Xia Wenqing coldly cut in before Hao Jiayi could finish her sentence.
He didn’t even leave Hao Jiayi with a shred of dignity.
"I value personal ability the most. If all you can do is cry, you might as well transfer to another department."
Even someone as clueless as Hao Jiayi could tell that Xia Wenqing was genuinely annoyed.
How could she dare to continue crying?
"Lawyer Xia, I’m really sorry, I won’t do it again. Please give me another chance, I’ll definitely work hard!" Hao Jiayi raised her hand to wipe away the scarce tears at the corner of her eyes, standing there as if making a solemn promise.
Xia Wenqing kept frowning, glancing at Hao Jiayi and spoke icily, "In my office, everyone aside from me answers to Xu Zhenzhen. If you have any suggestions, bring them to her. If you have complaints, keep them to yourself. I don’t want my office filled with people who are always voicing complaints."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Xu Zhenzhen was standing beside Xia Wenqing, practically beaming with joy.
So this was the thrill of being favored in public by someone you like!
Xia Wenqing glanced at Xu Zhenzhen, about to say something, when he saw the undeniable mirth in her eyes.
He was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected her to be so delighted over this.
Indeed, sometimes the words of Xia Wenyan were not completely without merit. It seemed... it was indeed necessary for him to seek some advice from him.
Although his younger brother Lao Si may not have tried pork, he had seen pigs running; certainly better than someone who hadn’t tasted pork nor seen pigs run.
He had considered seeking out Lu Zhaozhao and Song Sinian, but... Song Sinian was notoriously indifferent to others when it came to his sister Lu Zhaozhao.
He was willing to learn, but he didn’t have the emotional deficiencies to master it.
And as for Lu Zhaozhao, he couldn’t bring himself to shamelessly ask her for advice on pursuing her best friend.
So after much thought, only Xia Wenyan was left.
Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but lament internally, never would he have imagined that his family’s most unreliable Lao Si, would become his last resort, tsk tsk...
Meanwhile, at the Song Group office,
Zhao Xi was sitting at a desk with documents in hand, by now he was fully aware of everything that had happened in the Legal Department.
"Sir, is it really okay to have Hao Jiayi in the Legal Department?" Zhao Xi remembered that he couldn’t help but frown the first time he met Hao Jiayi.
Having been by Song Sinian’s side for so long, he could see through any type of person in an instant.
Especially a White Lotus Bitch of Hao Jiayi’s caliber; he was spot-on every time.
Moreover, since Hao Jiayi was recommended by the Feng family, he wasn’t sure what she was up to, but it was definitely nothing good.
The intentions of Hao Li and Feng Jiyue were as clear as if they were written on their foreheads.
They surely had some ulterior motives for sending Hao Jiayi to the Song Group.
Zhao Xi looked at Song Sinian with puzzlement. It was obvious he could refuse the request from the Feng family side, yet their Mr. Song had agreed.
Song Sinian’s dark eyes blinked as he glanced at Zhao Xi, responding indifferently, "What’s the problem with her being in the Legal Department?"
