Seeing that she wasn’t willing to talk much about it, Miss Lin gave up asking her. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t ask you anymore. But do you remember the things I told you before?”
Han Muzi nodded. “I do.”
“Do you know the Yuchi family well? Do you know what kind of a family they are? To be honest with you, Old Master Yuchi has instructed me to simply arrange a position in the company for the Young Lady of the Duanmu family. It doesn’t matter what position it is, as long as it gives her the right to stay in the company, and it needs to be close with the President’s position.” After that, Miss Lin stopped for a moment. “I assume that you’re in the office when I was talking with the President, so it’s okay that I’m telling you this now. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Without waiting for her reply, Miss Lin explained again, “Old Master Yuchi really likes Duanmu Xue, and he intends to pair her with his grandson, so you…” At this point, she frowned her eyebrows and let out a sigh. “Love that is not blessed by the elders may not last long.”
Han Muzi knew that Miss Lin was saying to her this for her own good. Therefore, she held on to her hand and murmured, “Thank you, Miss Lin. Thank you for telling me this much, but don’t worry. I’ve thought about this long ago. I know which path I need to take, and this will be the only path that I’ll take. Even though I joined the company late and developed a relationship with him this quickly, you don’t see me as those riff-raffs; instead, you trust me. For that, I’m really grateful.”
After all, most people would definitely assume that she joined the company just to climb the social ladder because not long after she came in, she got together with Ye Moxuan. However, Miss Lin didn’t see her that way but was concerned for her instead.
“It’s good that you have thought about it thoroughly. As for the kind of person you actually are, I still have an eye for people after reaching this age.”
Miss Lin could see that she came in the company just for their President because she didn’t look like someone who wanted to climb the social ladder. Instead, she looked more like a person who felt aggrieved. Sometimes, Miss Lin would wonder if she was thinking too much about it, but of all people, only Han Muzi gave her this kind of a feeling, especially through her gaze when she looked at Yuchi Shen.
“Alright. Since you’ve already made up your mind, then I have nothing else to say. Besides… I can’t tell the two of you what to do.” When Miss Lin got up, she suddenly thought of something, so she poked Han Muzi’s fair face with a smile. “If the two of you can be together at the end, you must remember to invite me to your wedding, and I want a big red packet in return. After all, I was the one who recommended you into the company.”
With that, the atmosphere between the two of them relaxed as Han Muzi couldn’t help but smile. “Alright. With your blessings, I will definitely invite you to my wedding by that time.”
After the both of them came into an agreement, they went on with their own work.
Later in the day, Duanmu Xue came to the company because she had received a call from Yuchi Jin saying that he had sorted everything out for her. He told her to come to the company to find Yuchi Shen’s secretary directly, and that she would arrange a job for her.
Therefore, she came to Yuchi Group joyfully, and before that, she even dressed herself up meticulously. She wore her favourite lipstick and eyeshadow.
Girls always hoped to present their best selves for the people they liked; Duanmu Xue was no different.
When the receptionist saw her entering the company, she didn’t stop her from going up because she didn’t receive such orders.
However, after seeing Duanmu Xue entering the elevator, she couldn’t help but sigh with the girl beside her, who was also a receptionist. “We are all human, but why do some people just get a better life? Not only does she have a great background, she is also pretty and is about to be together with an outstanding person.”
Hearing her complaints, the other girl glanced at her strangely and said, “Outstanding people naturally get together with other outstanding people; what’s strange about that? It would be weird for an outstanding person to get together with someone who is worthless and knows nothing.”
The receptionist felt a twinge in her heart when listening to her, but she must admit that she was right. Outstanding people naturally get together with other outstanding people.
“If you feel unsatisfied about it, then you should work hard. You need to cut your leisure and do more meaningful stuff to enrich yourself. When you make yourself excellent, your friends around you will be gradually replaced by other outstanding people. By then, won’t it be easy for you to be together with someone excellent?” the girl stated again, and the receptionist nodded with agreement. However, she soon realized something wasn’t right, so she squinted at the person beside her. “How do you know so much?”
The girl smiled as she stuffed a candy into her mouth. “I read about it on Facebook.”
The receptionist was rendered speechless. Pfft, I’ll just pretend I’d never asked. Sure enough, I really can’t expect too much. We are both receptionists, and both of us will find any kind of leisure everytime we get off work. During Saturdays, we don’t do anything productive except for eating and sleeping. Most of all, we can’t even manage our time properly! So what can I expect from her?
When Duanmu Xue got upstairs, she went to the secretary room to find Miss Lin.
Unfortunately, when she got there, Miss Lin had already left. In the secretary room, there was only Han Muzi, who was arranging the documents quietly.
Duanmu Xue stood by the door and stared at her, who was head down while working hard.
Han Muzi was wearing a simple blue chiffon shirt, and at the bottom, she paired it with a pair of casual blue jeans. Meanwhile, her long hair wasn’t tidied up neatly as it was casually tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.
No matter how I look at her, she is just an ordinary woman. But why is a woman like her able to suck away the soul of Shen? What magic does she have on her? I, on the other hand, always use the best stuff on me. As for beauty, I’m definitely not worse than Han Muzi, so why won’t Shen look at me? As she thought about, she became even angrier while she tightened the fists beside her.
Coincidentally, Han Muzi lifted her head and glanced at her direction unconsciously, and then she lowered her head back. But soon after, she realized there was someone, so she lifted her head back up. Both of their eyes met in the air.
Duanmu Xue? Seeing Duanmu Xue appearing in front of her, Han Muzi was shocked at first, but she quickly reacted as she remembered what Miss Lin told her before.
However, she didn’t expect her to come so soon, and by the looks of her, she came well-dressed.
Just like this, the two of them looked at each other for a while. Suddenly, Duanmu Xue quirked up the corners of her lips and walked toward her. “Looks like I’ve underestimated you before. I didn’t expect you to find your way into here, and you even infiltrated the company quietly so that you can lurk beside him as his secretarial assistant. He doesn’t remember you anymore, but you’re still here shamelessly. You really have a thick skin.”
