Cheng Cheng had always felt that Yuan Shu didnât trust her. Yuan Shu hadnât even told her, Yuan Shuâs assistant, about such a big matter during the live broadcast last time. Cheng Cheng secretly brooded over it for a long time.
However, what Yuan Shu had told her today made her feel a little smug. She was happy to become Yuan Shuâs âpersonâ, but was also a little confused. Why did Yuan Shu suddenly trust her?
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she subconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand. Yuan Shu made her pretend to accept Lin Xiâs bribe, and even said that it was fine for her to slander Yuan Shu behind her back, all for the sake of obtaining Lin Xiâs trust.
It wasnât that she didnât like money, but she felt that the source of the money had to be legitimate. The bracelet on her hand made her uneasy.
When she saw Lin Xi in the pantry, Cheng Cheng subconsciously hid the bracelet in her sleeve, but this small action was still seen by Lin Xi.
âThis bracelet suits you very well. You have a good temperament and are young, so this type of design suits you.â Lin Xi had an earnest look on her face as she praised her. It was impossible to tell what she was really thinking.
There were a few other colleagues in the pantry. In less than a day, almost everyone knew that Lin Xi was Shi Xiaoâs savior. Lin Xi looked innocent to begin with, and whenever she smiled, she looked even more amiable. She was always polite to others, which gave many colleagues a good impression of her.
Compared to the somewhat cold and aloof Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, the innocent and friendly Lin Xi was more popular in the company. Moreover, many people guessed that Lin Xi being able to become Shi Xiaoâs assistant was probably a sign of her becoming the future lady boss, so many people curried favor with her.
When they heard Lin Xi praise Cheng Cheng, everyoneâs gazes landed on Cheng Chengâs wrist.
âCheng Cheng, have you hit the jackpot? This is the latest edition golden bracelet from the PP brand. The design is so beautiful!â
âI wanted to buy it too, but the salesperson told me that it was pre-sale. How did you get it? Hurry up and let me see the real thing!â
âJust as Lin Xi said, this style really suits you quite well. It must be at least ten thousand yuan? How come you were willing to spend so much money?â
Under the praises of her colleagues, Cheng Cheng blushed. She wanted to explain, but she couldnât bring herself to say it out loud. She couldnât tell her colleagues that the bracelet was given to her by Lin Xi, could she?
However, in Lin Xiâs eyes, everything was going according to her plan. She had investigated long ago and knew that Cheng Cheng was just a small assistant. In the past, Cheng Cheng wasnât very well-liked in the company, but because Yuan Shu needed an assistant, Cheng Cheng was assigned to her.
Cheng Chengâs salary wasnât high, and girls were usually a little vain. As expected, a bracelet won her over.
If she was loyal to Yuan Shu, she would have sent the bracelet back long ago. How could it still be on her hand?
Seeing that she was a little embarrassed and didnât know how to explain, Lin Xi smiled and said, âCheng Cheng is Sister Yuan Shuâs assistant, so buying some jewelry is a piece of cake. I heard that leaders often give gifts to their assistants?â
Everyone looked at Cheng Cheng, but when they saw Cheng Chengâs embarrassed expression, they knew that she definitely didnât receive any gifts. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMrs. Shi⦠Miss Yuan really doesnât know much about the ways of the world. Cheng Cheng works overtime with her every day, but Cheng Cheng hasnât gotten any preferential treatment as a result.â
âThatâs right. Didnât the HR department increase some peopleâs salary a while ago? However, Miss Yuan didnât try to help you get a raise as well, right?â âNo way? Even my salary has increased by 500 yuan this month. Cheng Cheng, I really feel sorry for you. Some people are really not worthy of you treating her so well.â
Even though Zhao Mian didnât allow everyone to discuss this matter in private, with Lin Xi around, everyone became bolder, in hopes that they could please this future lady boss.
Lin Xi also held Cheng Chengâs hand as she said with heartache, âThere are still many work-related matters I donât understand, but I still understand the principle of being kind. If a company wants to retain talents, the salary and treatment canât be too subpar. Iâll talk to Shi Xiao later and help you get a salary raise.â
She had always called Shi Xiao by his name in the company, making it seem like she and Shi Xiao were very close. Moreover, Shi Xiao didnât show any unhappiness at all when she called him that in front of her colleagues a few times, so Lin Xi felt smug. After her colleagues saw this, they were even more certain of her relationship with Shi Xiao.
Cheng Cheng felt a little uneasy under her fervent gaze, but when she thought of Yuan Shuâs instructions, she finally said awkwardly, âThank you..â
