Chapter 352 Sister, aren't you going to congratulate me?
Sun Lu reluctantly got into the car and slammed the door shut.
After she fastened her seatbelt, Cui Xiao stepped on the gas.
The port city is a first-tier metropolis, and its prosperity dazzles Sun Lu. The skyscrapers and dazzling neon lights are both alluring and dangerous.
Sun Lu muttered, "No wonder you're reluctant to leave Gangcheng. It's such a great place. If it were me, I wouldn't want to go back to our small county town either."
Cui Xiao didn't say anything.
Sun Lu spoke sarcastically, "Cui Xiao, what's your relationship with that Zhou Mubin? Is he trying to pick you up? But you're so old, a rich guy like him would probably prefer a young girl like me."
Sun Lu always speaks like this; she likes to act like a well-behaved girl in front of outsiders, but in front of Cui Xiao, she is a complete delinquent.
Cui Xiao was used to it. She just said casually, "No one stays young forever, Sun Lu. You'll get old someday too."
Sun Lu didn't take it seriously, playing with her long hair. "Don't worry about that. I'll get married when I'm at my most valuable age, unlike you, who turned into an old woman."
Cui Xiao sneered, "Then I wish you all the best."
Sun Lu was confident enough in herself. Although she was not as good at studying as Cui Xiao, she got into a good university by learning her artistic talents.
Sun Lu now has enough right to look down on her.
About half an hour later, Cui Xiao parked her car downstairs at a hotel and got out of the car.
Sun Lu was stunned, then chased after him, "Cui Xiao, what do you mean? You want me to stay in a hotel?"
Cui Xiao acted swiftly and decisively, taking Sun Lu's suitcase from the trunk. "I've already spoken to Mom, and she'll pick you up and take you to the hotel. Don't worry, I'll extend your room rate for another week, so you can use this week to find a place to stay."
Sun Lu immediately rushed over and tried to snatch the suitcase from Cui Xiaolai, saying, "Are you crazy? Mom told you to take care of me, and this is how you take care of me?"
Cui Xiao gripped the suitcase handle, her face expressionless. "Are you handless or footless, or are you mentally challenged? If you can take care of yourself, then you can take care of yourself."
Sun Lu's voice rose noticeably as she reached for the side pocket of her suitcase. "Cui Xiao, how dare you disobey your mother? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me and you won't be able to explain it to her?"
The two were tugging at each other when the suitcase wheel hit the ground with a loud thud.
Cui Xiao took a deep breath, her voice even deeper than before, "She was willing to let you come to Hong Kong, which means she was prepared for the worst. If something really happens to you, it's your fate, and you can't blame anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lu realized that she was determined to abandon her.
No way, rent in Hong Kong is so expensive. To rent a satisfactory place, it would cost tens of thousands of yuan a month. She wouldn't waste her money on that.
Sun Lu suddenly had an idea. She pressed down on her suitcase and said, "If you insist on making me stay in a hotel, then I'll have to call Zhou Lu. I'm his employee now, so he shouldn't abandon me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Xiaotong was taken aback.
She looked at Sun Lu in disbelief. "What employee? What do you mean?"
Sun Lu became smug again, "I forgot to tell you, I've taken over your previous assistant position, and I'll officially start work first thing tomorrow morning. Sister, aren't you going to congratulate me?"
Instantly, Cui Xiao's face turned deathly pale.
Zhou Mubin actually hired a recent graduate with no work experience. As for the reason, Cui Xiao felt a chill run down her spine upon closer examination.
Her beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. Sun Lu snatched the suitcase from her hand and put it back in the car. Then, she swayed her slender waist and got into the car first.
Sun Lu shouted out the window, "Hurry up and get on the bus, I'm starving!"
Cui Xiao stood there for a while before she came to her senses and got into the car.
She took a deep breath. "This job isn't right for you. If you're looking for work, I can help you find a position at East Asia Group."
Sun Lu instantly understood, "Dongya Group? So you switched jobs to Dongya Group? Well, I didn't expect you to be so capable. However, I didn't intend to change jobs; this assistant job suits me quite well."
Being a woman herself, Cui Xiao understood Sun Lu's ulterior motives. "Zhou Mubin is not someone you can mess with. You'd better give up those inappropriate thoughts of yours as soon as possible."
Sun Lu sneered, "Heh, just because you're incompetent doesn't mean I'm as stupid as you. Oh, by the way, you still haven't told me what your relationship is with Zhou Lu? Does he want to sleep with you? To make you his mistress?"
And what about you? Is this playing hard to get, or just a game of cat and mouse? Cui Xiao, don't you know how old you are? You're middle-aged, and you're still acting like a young girl? Aren't you afraid of messing things up, and Zhou Lu won't even give you a chance to be his mistress?
Cui Xiao gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes filled with cold light.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Sun Lu assumed that she had nothing to say, gave her a provocative glare, and picked up her phone to play by herself.
In the end, Cui Xiao still took Sun Lu to his apartment.
Sun Lu tossed her suitcase aside and began looking around. "I thought your place was luxurious, but it's nothing special. This place is probably less than 100 square meters."
Cui Xiao said coldly, "If you don't like it, you can go find somewhere else to live. Nobody's stopping you."
Sun Lu rolled her eyes.
Although it's not a luxury house, the location and layout are quite good, especially considering it's in a place like Hong Kong where land is incredibly valuable; a 100-square-meter apartment like this would cost tens of millions.
"Why not stay here? Where will I stay?"
Cui Xiao said coldly, "Besides my bedroom, no one will stop you from sleeping in the toilet if you want."
Sun Lu plopped down on the sofa and said irritably, "No wonder Mom doesn't like you. With your personality, who would want you?"
Cui Xiao was fed up and didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she went back to her room.
She changed into clean clothes, sat on the sofa for a while, and after thinking it over, decided to call Zhou Mubin.
Over here, Zhou Mubin pulled Xibei and Xie Nanzhi out again, and he was talking non-stop when his phone rang.
Zhou Mubin picked it up and saw that it was Cui Xiao's call; his eyes lit up.
He pressed the answer button, maintaining his composure, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cui Xiao went to the terrace. She hesitated for a few seconds. "I heard you hired Sun Lu as your assistant?"
Zhou Mubin guessed correctly; she really was after this matter. He crossed his legs, a hint of smugness in his expression. "Yes, Miss Cui's work ability is so strong, my sister must be just as capable, so I decided to give her a chance."
Cui Xiao took a deep breath and frowned. "Attorney Zhou, I still think you should reconsider. Sun Lu just graduated and has no work experience. The pace of a law firm is so fast, she may not be able to keep up."
Zhou Mubin raised an eyebrow, "Are you looking down on your own sister?"
