You Huan was stunned for a long time before finally managing a forced smile: "Hehe, what a coincidence...it's really quite a coincidence."

Wen Jie's nose broke out in a layer of sweat.

He stood, she sat, gently opened her cherry-like mouth, scooped out a small piece of cheese with a spoon and put it into her mouth, savoring it slowly.

At that moment, his heart was in turmoil, and it was as if he suddenly saw the whole world in a dazzling display of light.

He laughed foolishly, completely unaware of the resentful look in Xia Zhi's eyes beside him.

"Wen Jie!"

"Huh?" Wen Jie finally snapped out of his daze. "You... is something wrong?"

Xia Zhi's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to throw a tantrum when she suddenly looked up and met Jackie's warning gaze.

Xia Zhi pulled her neck back and obediently held the umbrella behind her.

That umbrella was quite large; besides You Huan, it could also fit Wen Jie inside.

And so she supported the two of them, becoming their servant in effect!

Jackie chuckled to herself, then straightened up, coughed twice, and let out a cold snort.

"Oh, right, Huanhuan!" Jackie remembered something. "Miss Jiang called you earlier. You happened to have a scene to film, so I answered for you... She said she has an important event the day after tomorrow and hopes you can attend."

“Yes,” You Huan nodded, “As Lu’s representative, I should of course follow her arrangements. Please check my schedule and prioritize Lu’s activities if there are any time conflicts.”

"Don't worry!" Jackie rolled her eyes and winked at You Huan. "Um... are you bringing your assistant with you that day?"

You Huan didn't react at first.

However, she knew Jackie well; although he was effeminate, he was by no means a chatterbox.

He wouldn't normally bring up such a trivial matter as whether or not to bring an assistant.

You Huan was stunned for a moment, then saw Jackie's mischievous smile and instantly understood... She vaguely remembered that Jiang Mianmian had mentioned to her once before that Mr. Sam, the chief designer of the film and television city project, had just arrived in Yangcheng a few days ago, and that the event the day after tomorrow was actually Mr. Sam going to the construction site to check on the progress.

Thinking of this, You Huan smiled and turned to look at Xia Zhi, "Come with me!"

Xia Zhi was stunned.

“I suddenly remembered,” You Huan explained, “that day Jackie was going to help me negotiate a contract, and my other assistant also had other things to do, so it would be perfect for you to come with me!”

Xia Zhi never imagined that such a good thing as getting to show her face in public would fall into her lap.

Ever since she joined You Huan's team, she has been bullied by Jackie and that little assistant, and You Huan also trips her up from time to time.

She was extremely frustrated.

Whenever she complained to Wen Jie, he would only brush her off with a "work isn't that easy" and wouldn't even bother to offer a word of comfort.

She even doubted whether this was still the same guy she had relentlessly pursued before finally winning him over.

Xia Zhi's eyes darted around, and she immediately realized that she needed to seize the opportunity to use this event to make more connections with people from the upper echelons of the city...

If I could meet someone better, I wouldn't have to be subservient to Wen Jie all the time!

"Assistant Xia, did you hear me?" You Huan raised her voice.

Xia Zhi suddenly snapped out of her daze and smiled brightly. "I heard it, I heard it!"

"Yes, that event at the Lu Corporation is quite important, so don't be late!"

"What?" Xia Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Miss You...you don't need me to pick you up?"

“I’ll send you the address, you can go by yourself.” You Huan gave a very understanding smile. “Mr. Sam will be attending, which shows how important this event is.”

"Yes, yes!"

"You need to wear appropriate clothes, understand?"

You Huan particularly emphasized the word "suitable".

Xia Zhi laughed heartily, her mind filled with images of toasting and drinking at the banquet, and men falling head over heels for her.

But she never expected that her understanding of "suitable" was completely different from what You Huan was talking about.

*

Two days later, Xia Zhi, dressed in a strapless fishtail dress and with glamorous makeup, rushed to the event location.

She took out a mirror in the taxi and looked at herself, becoming more and more satisfied with her outfit.

The dress was a limited edition from a top international brand, and it almost cost her all her savings.

However, she felt it was worth it.

She would be satisfied as long as she could attract everyone's attention, especially by outshining Jiang Mianmian!

"Miss, we've arrived."

The driver's indifferent voice came from ahead.

Xia Zhi was still lost in her own beauty and couldn't pull herself out of it until the driver called her several times before she came back to her senses.

"Oh, thank you."

Just as she was about to get off the bus, the driver suddenly turned around and looked at her strangely.

Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively clutched her chest.

The driver, with a long face and furrowed brows, shouted, "Pay up!"

Xia Zhi quickly scanned the code to pay.

As the driver watched her get out of the car, he looked at his phone and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, I picked up a lunatic... thinks she's a flight attendant? She's clearly a plane crash!"

Xia Zhi stared at her phone's navigation, standing in the sun, lost in thought for a long time.

The address You Huan sent her is here, that's right.

But this is clearly a construction site! Where is there a banquet hall?

Just then, a faint laugh came from the other end.

"Mr. Sam, you're too kind! Since you've provided the design drawings, of course we'll complete the construction to the highest quality and quantity, so as not to let you down!"

Xia Zhi's eyes widened as she saw a group of people surrounding an old foreign man like stars around the moon as he walked over. Beside the old man were Jiang Mianmian and You Huan!

They were both wearing T-shirts and cargo pants, comfortable and durable casual shoes, and safety helmets.

Sam was dressed the same way.

Xia Zhi's mind went blank for a moment. She looked down at her nearly ten-centimeter-high stilettos... At that moment, the heels were stuck in the muddy path of the construction site and were difficult to pull out.

"Hey, Xia Zhi?" You Huan noticed her and waved to her. "Come here quickly!"

Xia Zhi wanted to move but couldn't, so she could only stand there awkwardly smiling.

Jiang Mianmian noticed something amiss, a slight smirk playing on her lips as she coldly said, "You Huan, why is your assistant dressed like this at the construction site? Didn't you tell her what we're supposed to be doing today?"

You Huan strode over with a swagger and berated everyone, "What's wrong with you? Mr. Sam is here to inspect the construction site today, who are you trying to impress by dressing like you're going to a KTV to work as a hostess?!"

“You…” Xia Zhi’s face changed color instantly.

“Miss Yu, you were the one who told me there was an event today, that Mr. Sam would be attending, and also…”

"And you have to wear appropriate clothes, right?" You Huan crossed her arms and scoffed, "Is this your understanding of 'appropriate'?"
