The next day, groups of deliverymen came and went in an endless stream through the entire floor of the office building.
All the gifts were given to the same person: Lu Ran.
Moreover, every deliveryman has to shout at maximum volume when they arrive in the office building's hallway:
"Ms. Lu Ran, you have a package. Please sign for it!"
Lu Ran's legs were constantly on the go that day. She hadn't even warmed her chair before she got up again to collect a package.
Her desk was piled high with packages, all of them top-of-the-line luxury brand clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics, drawing envious glances from all her female colleagues.
Lu Ran is an introverted and low-key person, and suddenly being in the spotlight like this really makes her uncomfortable.
"Sister..." She quietly ran to Jiang Mianmian's side and pointed to the express delivery on the table, "Look at this..."
Jiang Mianmian chuckled, knowing full well that this was all thanks to Huo Junyang.
Upon hearing about their ordeal last night, Young Master Huo was itching to avenge them.
Especially when I heard the line, "She definitely doesn't have a boyfriend!"
Huo Junyang is truly intolerable! How dare he mock Lu Ran for not having a boyfriend? Does he think he, the second young master of the Huo family, is just a figurehead?!
And that's how this scene came about.
He wanted the whole world to know that his girlfriend, Huo Junyang's girlfriend, carried the most expensive bags, used the most expensive cosmetics, and wore not only the most expensive clothes and shoes, but also limited editions of the season that money couldn't necessarily buy!
Let's see how those gossipy old women will continue to spread rumors!
Lu Ran bit her lip and smiled helplessly.
Jiang Mianmian was about to help her move her things into the small conference room when she overheard Xiao Dong and the others making sarcastic remarks.
"Sigh, I don't know if it's a real brand or a fake. There are so many counterfeit products online, I wonder if this young girl can tell the difference?"
"Counterfeit goods aren't cheap either, you know? An intern's salary probably can't even afford counterfeit goods!"
"Hey, shut up!" another colleague whispered, "Didn't you hear? It was a gift from her boyfriend!"
Xiao Dong and the others almost curled their lips into a grimace.
"Can't you guys be a little more relaxed?" another colleague scoffed. "Can't interns have boyfriends? Can't interns afford designer brands? What if one of these interns comes from a wealthy family? You'll be in for a world of hurt!"
"Just the two of them?" Xiao Dong sneered. "If their families owned a mine, I'd go work as a bricklayer in a coal mine!"
Lu Ran took several deep breaths, but she still couldn't swallow her anger. Jiang Mianmian tugged at her, smiled at her, and gestured for her to hurry up and move her things away.
With the help of kind colleagues, the move was completed in just one trip.
Jiang Mianmian calculated that it was about time and told everyone to go to the large conference room.
When my colleagues went in, they were stunned. The conference table was set with afternoon tea from a five-star hotel!
"Wow!" someone exclaimed after looking at the packaging. "This hotel is under the Huo Group. It offers authentic English afternoon tea, the taste is excellent, and the price is very reasonable..."
"Yes, I've seen it online too. You need to make a reservation two weeks in advance for afternoon tea!"
"Mianmian, what's going on?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled slightly.
Huo Junyang is more flamboyant in his work, while Huo Junyu is not only flamboyant but also very pragmatic.
Treating my colleagues to afternoon tea not only made me look good, but also won them over – a win-win situation!
"Everyone," Jiang Mianmian coughed lightly twice, "This is my boyfriend's treat, one serving per person, please help yourselves!"
The meeting room was quiet for a few seconds, then erupted in excited cheers.
Some of their colleagues, who usually bossed them around, stood awkwardly to the side at this moment.
Jiang Mianmian smiled and generously shared the afternoon tea with them.
Xiao Dong looked at Xiao Xu and A Juan, and all three of them had the same question in their eyes.
"Could it be... that her family really owns a mine?"
"What are you saying!" Xiao Dong said guiltily. "A bunch of food... how expensive can it be? She's using a month's salary to win people over, can't you see that?"
Juan licked her lips, her eyes fixed on the conference room.
"I...I'd really like to try it too."
"Then let's go get it!" Xiao Dong raised his chin. "Anyway, she bought so much, it would be a waste if she couldn't finish it! Besides, didn't she say it was for all her colleagues?"
Xiao Xu hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was not a good idea.
However, the desire to get something for nothing easily overcomes reason.
When they arrived at the conference room door, they saw Jiang Mianmian walk out, arms crossed, smiling at them.
"I'm so sorry." Jiang Mianmian stepped aside, showing them the empty conference table. "The afternoon tea has all been served."
"Ha!" Xiao Dong rolled his eyes. "If you don't have the money to buy that much, why pretend to be a sucker?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Xu chimed in, "Little Jiang, what kind of boyfriend did you get? He's so stingy even when it comes to buying afternoon tea!"
Jiang Mianmian leaned against the door frame, looking at her phone with a relaxed and composed expression.
“My boyfriends are assigned based on the number of people,” she said softly, “but here, some people don’t even qualify as people!”
"You..." The three of them stared wide-eyed, their expressions instantly changing. "What did you say?!"
“I said that we were just short three servings of afternoon tea,” Jiang Mianmian said with a smile. “You should understand what I mean, right?”
The three men were furious and glared at her fiercely.
"But even if you don't have afternoon tea, your mouths must have other things to do," Jiang Mianmian scoffed. "You can gossip and guess what my boyfriend does for a living. Otherwise, your lives would be so boring!"
"Jiang Mianmian!" Xiao Dong put her hands on her hips, looking fierce. "Is this how an intern talks to a senior colleague?"
"How should I treat seniors who only ostracize others?" Jiang Mianmian said seriously. "Lu's Group is not a place where seniority matters. Those who lack ability and only rely on their seniority to get by will be eliminated sooner or later!"
Xiao Dong and his friends had never seen Jiang Mianmian so assertive before; they thought she was just a clumsy, poor student.
Hearing her words now, they were filled with anger and embarrassment.
With a wink from Xiao Dong, Xiao Xu suddenly raised his hand to hit Jiang Mianmian!
However, a shout suddenly came from the end of the corridor: "What are you doing?!"
Xiao Xu quickly withdrew her hand. The sound of high heels approached from afar. Xia Yubing's expression was solemn, and her eyes stared at them as if she could kill.
"Ha, first the delivery, then afternoon tea, and now you want a fight? Do you think the company is a marketplace?!"
"Manager Xia, it's not our fault!" Xiao Dong interjected, "It's all because of Jiang Mianmian..."
"I'm not blind, I can see!" Xia Yubing glared angrily.
Although she didn't particularly like Jiang Mianmian and Lu Ran, Xiao Dong and the others were giving her a headache.
She cleared her throat, her face serious, and declared that both sides should be punished equally.
"You guys go back and write a self-criticism, thoroughly examine your behavior, and hand it in to me tomorrow morning!"
"Manager Xia, we..."
"Everyone back to your posts now!" Xia Yubing didn't give her a chance to speak. "The meeting starts in fifteen minutes. I have something important to announce!"
