Chapter 106 - She Is Still The Same.
Chapter 106 - She Is Still The Same.
When Xie Ming stood up to give the form to the receptionist, she was stopped by a girl who came in her way. She stood in front of Xie Ming, facing her and checking her out from head to toe.
Xie Ming could sense animosity in her look, she?chose to ignore it. She knows if she works here, she has to face her every day. And she doesn't want to create enemies even before joining the company. Her life is already full of enemies. 'Sigh'
She didn't say anything and stood there and looked at that girl. Seeing the mocking smile on Xie Ming's face, the girl named Chen Xi got annoyed.
She arrogantly asked Xie Ming, " What are you doing here?" she asked Xie Ming with her head held high, her chest puffed out and chin up. She talked to Xie Ming in her best posture but her short skirt and white shirt with two buttons open cannot give much attention compared to Xie Ming who is wearing a simple pink dress.
Chen Xi hated Xie Ming as she was a natural beauty. Women, in reality, don't dress up for men instead they dress up for other women. Why they don't like it when someone wears the same dress as them, because they preferred to be stood out, they want to be the only one.
This may look annoying, but they can't stand the more beautiful woman as them especially when your crush also looking at that beautiful girl.
This was the exact case with Chen Xi, the moment Xie Ming entered, her crush Xiao Yao was looking at her Xie Ming with bright light in his eyes. He never looked at her like this, but he was looking at Xie Ming that way.
She felt frustrated.
.....
When Xie Ming heard her question, she squinted her eyes at her, she scoffed and said, " Can't you see the questionnaire in my hand? Or you can't recognize it?"
She said as she waved the form in her hand in front of Chen Xi.
Chen Xi looked at the form and thought, ' Of course I know what it is. But how dare she talk to me like that.'
She turned to look around and all the people in the office were trying to control their laughter. Even Xiao Yao was trying hard to control its laughter.
It's the first time someone has talked to her like this. She is the daughter of one of the investors of the Global World who started working only a month back as an intern.
But she behaves like, her father owned the company. No one has talked to her in this way. She was embarrassed.
She was young, rich and intelligent and beautiful of course. Though her father get her internship there, but she stayed in the Global world with her capability.
But she has a problem, she can't bear that someone is more popular than her. In her college, she was the Belle of the campus. Though she is capable, yet she is rather annoying and always looks down on other people. That's why the other people in the office don't like her. But they can't express their thoughts directly.
But they can't talk to her rudely because of her backing. So they just endure the rude behavior of her.
Here also she wanted to be the one.
Chen Xi looked at Xie Ming with an awful expression and said, " I mean why are you here. Do you think you can work here? We don't need white lotuses who always pretends to be innocent and transfers her work to others."
Xie Ming rolled her eyes at her.
" Are you a psychic or what? Without seeing my work or my resume` you're assuming that I will not be able to work." she replied with a displeased expression.
Then without waiting for her reply, Xie Ming passed her from the side to give the form to the receptionist, while flipping her hair at the back, which hits Chen Xi on her face.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the office giggled. They thought, ' If this woman works here, it will be fun to work with her. She can handle this arrogant Chen Xi in such a badass way.'
Chen Xi frowned. She was insulted in front of everyone and that too by a person who is not even a part of the office yet.
She angrily turned to look at Xie Ming who was going outside at the reception and shouted " You...."But Xie Ming has already disappeared from her sight. So she stumped her foot and went back to her seat.
.....
When they were busy in their argument, someone was watching them from the office of the manager. It was the same guy, in a blue suit. When he saw the girl Chen Xi picking up a fight with Xie Ming, he frowned.
But he didn't take any action but waited. When Xie Ming passed by that girl while flipping her hair, his lips curled upwards. He thought, ' She is still the same.' He looked at Xie Ming who disappeared out of the office.
Then a voice came from his behind, " What are you doing, near the window?"
It was the manager of the Public relations department, " Tang Nian". She was wearing a light green colored suit, which fitted her perfectly. She has tied her hair in a sleek ponytail, giving her a defined look.
Jian Yan turned to look at her and smiled. Then he walked up to her and sat on the sofa opposite her. He picked up the coffee that she has placed it on the table for him and said, " Nothing. I was just checking your newly renovated office."
He said with a smile.
Tang Nian looked at him and said, " You don't need to worry about this scandal. She is just a B grade actress who is trying to use your reputation to climb the stairs. But don't worry we can deal with such flies easily. By the way, I heard you are working on a new project for Mr. Han's movie. How's the preparations going." she said while sipping her green tea.
Jian Yan looked at her and said, " They are searching for the second female lead. They found the female lead but they're having difficulty founding the second lead as her role is more important." he shrugged as he said as he doesn't care.
" Oh. Mr. Han is a great director working under Global World but his requirements are very high but his every movie was a blockbuster so no doubt he is very picky about his actors," she said with a sigh.
"But it's good for you, you could get some rest before shooting starts. Now don't worry and go on to your next schedule. It's in half an hour, right? And where is your manager?" she asked him.
" He went to buy some stuff for me. Don't worry, he is in the van downstairs. I'll go now, I see you have a meeting to attend." He said while looking towards the window where he saw a familiar figure sitting outside the office.
Tang Nian looked in that direction and nodded. He got up from the sofa. He shakes hands with Tang Nian for the last time and exited the office after bidding her a farewell.
