Chapter 55 Wearing the same clothes

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing turned to look at the packaging bag in Lin's hands. She took it back and glanced at the English letters on it.

It really is Chanel.

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's just a bag. I use it to store old clothes. How could it really be Chanel?"

Although she said that, she felt vaguely uneasy when she thought about the clothes she was wearing.

Could Qin Ce have actually bought a designer brand item?

She was in a daze just now and didn't think about the new clothes. Now that she thinks about it, it's strange that she didn't go home to change and had someone bring her new clothes instead.

Lin Shuang pursed her lips, took out the clothes from the bag and looked at them; they smelled strongly of alcohol. "You're right."

Qiao Xing forced a smile, tugging at the corners of his mouth.

But Lin Shuang nudged her arm again, "Look."

Qiao Xing looked up and followed Lin Shuang's gaze. Wu Yun walked in. Seeing Wu Yun, Qiao Xing's head started to ache.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at Mr. Wu's clothes, aren't they the same style as yours?"

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her own coat and then at Wu Yun's coat. It really was... the same style, even the same color.

How can someone wear the same outfit as another person?

When Wu Yun saw the clothes on Qiao Xing's body, his face darkened, turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

She never expected that the clothes she had bought through a proxy would end up being worn to the office by someone she disliked.

Wu Yun said with a stern face, "Qiao Xing, come to my office."

Qiao Xing paused, sighed helplessly, and stood up resignedly, heading to Wu Yun's office.

Once inside, Wu Yun sat lazily in a chair and examined her from head to toe twice; the clothes were indeed exactly the same.

Even the button on the collar is the same color and shape. Who would believe they aren't the same style?

However, Wu Yun did not believe that Qiao Xing could afford this dress.

She asked someone to buy it for her, and the cheapest price was 58,000 yuan.

"Qiao Xing, what happened to you this morning? Why didn't you come to the company?" Wu Yun began to press.

Qiao Xing paused for a moment and said, "I was held up by something this morning and forgot to keep track of the time. I'm really sorry."

Wu Yun waved his hand and said, "What's the use of apologizing to me? It's your salary that's being deducted. I called you here because I have something else to tell you."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Wu."

"When can you give me that project proposal?"

Qiao Xing thought about it. She had actually written almost everything, but the last time she wrote a product plan, Wu Yun didn't bother her. This wasn't like Wu Yun's style.

Therefore, she did not easily hand over the proposal to Wu Yun this time.

Qiao Xing said, "This week, I'll give it to you before Friday."

"I need it by Wednesday, this Wednesday. Can you write it down?"

Wu Yun looked at her calmly, his attitude very firm, as if to say, "If you can't write it, then get out."

Qiao Xing nodded. "Sure, I'll try my best. But Mr. Wu, there's something else I'd like to ask."

"What's up?"

"If I transfer to your department, will my salary still be the same as before, which was 10,000 in the administration department?"

Wu Yun was taken aback, somewhat surprised, "You have ten thousand in the administration department?"

Of course there weren't ten thousand, but how could Qiao Xing tell her the truth? She only said that to put Wu Yun in a difficult position.

She wanted to see if Wu Yun would cut her salary. If the cut was too drastic, Qiao Xing could report it to her superiors.

Secondly, she wanted to know what Wu Yun was really up to, why he was in such a hurry to come up with a proposal.

She had inquired beforehand and found out that this single-player game wasn't a major project for the department, so Wu Yun's eagerness to get it meant there was definitely something fishy going on.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xing said, "Yes, with my full attendance bonus, it's close to ten thousand."

“Our department doesn’t offer such high salaries.”

Qiao Xing nodded, indicating her understanding, "I know, our department is on commission, so it's understandable that we get a lower base salary."

Wu Yun twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a hint of annoyance, "You were in charge of calculating base salaries before, so you should know how much the base salary is for new employees in our department?"

"Yes, I know, but I've been with the company for two years, so I'm not exactly a newcomer, am I? When the company first hired me, I was supposed to work in the administration department. Now, Mr. Wu, you've transferred me here, so I shouldn't be considered a newcomer, right?"

Wu Yun's eyebrows twitched, and her smile became somewhat stiff.

Indeed, it was HR's decision to send Qiao Xing to the administration department in the first place, and this time she transferred Qiao Xing here, which was also discussed directly with Supervisor He.

Actually, if Qiao Xing didn't want to come, she didn't have to, or she could go to the HR department.

Qiao Xing's meaning was quite clear: if her salary was reduced too low, she would go to HR.

Wu Yun was silent for a while before saying, "Yes, what you said makes sense. You're considered a veteran in the company, so you can't be treated like a newbie. Go back to work first. I still need to discuss your salary with the vice president."

Qiao Xing nodded. "Then I'll go down first."

"Wait a minute." Wu Yun called out to her, his gaze lingering on her coat once more.

"Your clothes are nice, where did you buy them?"

Qiao Xing knew she would ask, so she said the words she had just thought of, "I bought this at a street stall for only seventy-something yuan. It seems like I'm wearing the same thing as Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu's clothes must be very expensive, right?"

Upon hearing the price she mentioned, Wu Yun's expression softened considerably. She said, "Don't buy from those street stalls anymore. The workmanship is poor, the quality is bad, and more importantly, it's embarrassing if you wear the same thing as someone wearing the real thing."

"Besides, you work in administration, so you should know that personal image affects the company image, right?"

Qiao Xing nodded: "I know, I won't wear this dress anymore."

"Alright, get back to work and submit the proposal as soon as possible."

This was the umpteenth time Wu Yun had brought up the project proposal. Qiao Xing felt something was amiss, but she didn't point it out. She agreed and left the office.

Lin Shuang, ever the gossip, leaned in and asked, "So? Did Mr. Wu ask you about the clothes?"

"No, it's about work."

Lin Shuang rolled her eyes. "Do you think I believe that? I've known Wu Yun for a long time, and she's a very petty person."

After Lin Shuang finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth. It was a big taboo to speak ill of one's superiors in the company, and she had accidentally let it slip.

"I was just talking nonsense, you didn't hear anything!"

"I know, I didn't hear anything," Qiao Xing smiled.

It seems she wasn't the only one who had been oppressed by Wu Yun. Even Lin Shuang said Wu Yun was petty, so it's understandable that she was transferred here.

"I heard that people from S&C are coming today. Mr. Wu went to great lengths to dress up, only to have you wear the same outfit as him. It's hilarious."

Lin Shuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Are they here?" Qiao Xing asked in surprise.

"No, I was supposed to come in the morning, but I don't know why I didn't come. I guess the plans have changed."
