Xia Zhi was speechless.
Indeed, You Huan only mentioned that Mr. Sam would be attending the event, without specifying what kind of event it was, and without asking, she assumed it was a banquet.
She spent all her savings on this dress!
"Ha, Assistant Xia," You Huan sneered, "I don't think it's your comprehension that's the problem, it's where you're going wrong..."
She pointed to her chest, "It's about mindset!"
"Did you think that I invited you to this banquet today so that you could outshine everyone else dressed like this?"
Xia Zhi's face flushed red and then turned pale, her whole body trembling slightly, and she gripped her skirt tightly with both hands.
Mr. Sam, who was not far away, saw this scene, frowned and shook his head slightly.
"Ms. Jiang, what's going on here?" Sam communicated with Jiang Mianmian in limited Chinese. "How can your Lu Corporation have such unprofessional people who come to the construction site without wearing safety helmets?!"
“I’m sorry,” Jiang Mianmian smiled, her words exceptionally clear, “she is not one of our Lu family.”
"What?" Xia Zhi was taken aback and ran over, lifting her skirt and stumbling along.
The elegant skirt was covered in dirty mud, and it had long lost its appearance as a top international brand.
"Mianmian!" She had barely uttered those two words when she suddenly remembered Lu Ran's warning to her last time, and changed her words with difficulty, "Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang."
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Mianmian's smile was enigmatic.
"I'm a member of the Lu family!" Xia Zhi exclaimed anxiously. "It's just that I've been working as Miss You's assistant for a while now... Didn't you say that I'm still considered an employee of the Lu family?!"
“Oh,” Jiang Mianmian’s beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light, “You’re from the Lu family? Ha, what’s your relationship with the Lu family?”
"I...I'm an intern at Lu's!"
Have you read the company's rules and regulations?
Xia Zhi stood frozen in place, speechless.
"According to company regulations, if an intern does not meet the hiring requirements, the company has the right to terminate the contract with the intern at any time."
"Mianmian..."
"I'm sorry," Jiang Mianmian chuckled, "You're still a ways off from the company's requirements. I hope you'll keep trying and find a better place to write your internship report! After you get back, go to the finance department to collect your pay, and then tidy up your workstation! Understand?"
Xia Zhi felt like her throat was blocked. Even though she was trembling with anger, she still put on a pitiful act.
What she was gambling on was Jiang Mianmian's pleading nature!
Jiang Mianmian's expression was indifferent, her surface calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
How many times has Xia Zhi schemed against her? How many times has she bullied her?
How many times have they made a fool of her?
These are countless.
Whenever she thinks about this, Jiang Mianmian gets so angry that she trembles all over.
"Mianmian..."
She heard Xia Zhi's voice trembling with tears, looked down, and saw that the woman's hand was already tugging at her sleeve.
"Mianmian, didn't you say that I could intern here and leave as soon as I got the internship certificate... Are you going back on your word now?"
"Going back on your word? Those four words are too harsh." Jiang Mianmian looked at her coldly. "I call this following the rules!"
"you……"
"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. This principle should be understood by everyone, from a large country to a small company!"
"You came to the construction site dressed like this, which left a bad impression on Mr. Sam and seriously damaged the company's image! You should be fired both morally and legally!"
"Now that Miss Jiang has spoken, what are you all standing there for?" You Huan added fuel to the fire, turning to the bodyguards and saying, "Hurry up and get this person out of here! Hey, this is a film studio construction site, there might be trade secrets here! How can we let outsiders know?"
Several bodyguards behind her immediately sprang into action, grabbing Xia Zhi and dragging her out of the construction site.
Xia Zhi screamed hysterically the whole way, even bringing up Wen Jie.
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned Wen Jie, because mentioning that name was like touching a raw nerve for You Huan!
"Do you think Wen Jie is really blind?!" She pointed at Xia Zhi, who had already become a tiny black dot in her field of vision, and stomped her foot angrily. "He'll see through your true colors sooner or later! You bitch!"
"Alright, watch your image!" Jiang Mianmian stepped forward and whispered a reminder to her, "There are other people here besides the two of us!"
You Huan took a few deep breaths to temporarily suppress the anger in her heart.
"But speaking of which... I'm quite curious," Jiang Mianmian said with a smile, "You used to mistake me for Wen Jie's girlfriend, and you were quite nice to me, weren't you? How come you became such a slut when it came to Xia Zhi?"
“Ah, I…” You Huan was taken aback. How should she answer this question?
Jiang Mianmian laughed heartily, putting a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, I also think Wen Jie won't be blinded by greed for long! You still have a chance."
"Tell me, tell me what!" You Huan blushed deeply. "I have absolutely no feelings for him, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Mianmian shook her head helplessly, pulled her back, and continued to inspect the construction site with Mr. Sam.

Xia Zhi stayed at home for several days, looking not only disheveled but also extremely stressed.
The project manager kept calling her, and even came to her house.
His purpose in contacting her was nothing more than to take advantage of her.
Xia Zhi always endured her discomfort and tried her best to appear obedient under his obese body.
But every time it was over, the project manager would just pull up his pants and leave, without mentioning anything about her returning to Lu's Group.
"I don't care if I don't go back to the Lu family!" In her anxiety, Xia Zhi blocked the doorway, preventing him from leaving. "But you still have to keep your promise, right?"
"A promise?" The project manager frowned, his small eyes resembling a weasel's. "What promise?"
"Don't try to deny it!" Xia Zhi said angrily. "I got all the information you needed before. You said that if we built commercial and residential buildings on that land, I would get a house in return after it was all done!"
"Oh, I think I did say that..." The manager, a seasoned veteran, said something bland and unhelpful, "But you've been kicked out now, haven't you? You can't provide me with any more information!"
"you……"
"Oh dear, speaking of which, I should be wary of you!" The manager's eyes widened. "You're no longer with Lu's Group, so hand over all those old documents!"
Xia Zhi was furious and berated him for betraying her after using her.
Who knew that the manager had a whole host of fallacies: "Me, kicking away the bridge after crossing the river? Ha, at most I'd dismantle a sloping bridge! It's completely useless, and you expect me to give you a house? You're dreaming!"
"Hu Liansheng!" Xia Zhi grabbed a vase. "You're not a man!"
Hu Liansheng, however, was extremely arrogant, pointing directly at his own forehead, "Come on, smash it here!"
"ah--"
He didn't expect Xia Zhi to actually do it!
With a loud crash, the vase shattered on the ground, and a large hole appeared in Hu Liansheng's head, from which blood gushed out...
