Chapter 18: Change of Job



Lu Xiaoqiao returned to the company and ran into Zheng Yan as soon as she got out of the elevator.

I haven't seen her since the fight that day. I don't know if she didn't come to work or was deliberately avoiding me.

The two of them were not in the same department and had already fallen out a few days ago. There was no need for them to be cautious when they met again. As long as she didn't provoke him, he would just pretend nothing happened. If she tried to cause trouble again, the worst that could happen would be another fight.

Zheng Yan saw that Lu Xiaoqiao seemed not to have seen her, and walked straight towards the department after coming out of the elevator.

"Lu Xiaoqiao, Sister Na is back from a business trip. Auntie wants you two to come to her house for dinner tonight." Her tone was still as arrogant as before.

"knew."

Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao agree and leave without even turning her head, Zheng Yan was furious and thought that one day she would avenge her for beating her.

After I marry Liu Ye, I will be her boss. Then I will teach her a lesson and fire her if she doesn't obey me.

Lu Xiaoqiao returned to her workstation and just as she sat down, she received a WeChat message from Manager Qian, asking her to go to Jiang Heng to sign the contract at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Lu Xiaoqiao just replied "OK". Things had come to this point and there was no way she would not sign the contract just for the sake of face.

Ten minutes later, I received another WeChat message.

It was an apology letter of more than 200 words, every word was permeated with repentance and regret, hoping that Lu Xiaoqiao could forgive him and give him a chance to make up for his guilt towards her.

The bloody apology was just for the last sentence.

I hope Mr. Zhou doesn’t know about this.

Lu Xiaoqiao did not reply to this message. Even though she did not want to cause trouble to Zhou Qizhen, she still wanted to scare him so that he would be frightened and unable to sleep well.

When it was almost time to get off work, Lu Xiaoqiao sent a WeChat message to Zhao Jia, saying that after get off work she would take Liu Ye's car to her aunt's house for dinner, and asked her not to wait for her after get off work.

Six o'clock in the evening.

After Lu Xiaoqiao and Li Na checked in, they came to the underground parking lot. They found Liu Ye's BMW X5, opened the back door and got in one after another.

Zheng Yan was already sitting in the passenger seat before they got in the car.

During the drive, Zheng Yan and Li Na seemed to have discussed it beforehand, chatting animatedly with each other, and intentionally ignored Lu Xiaoqiao and did not talk to her, excluding her.

When Lu Xiaoqiao first came to work at Chenxin, her relationship with Li Na was pretty good.

The two are cousins. Li Na's parents are civil servants. In contrast, Lu Xiaoqiao comes from an ordinary family. Although Li Na is often looked down upon by Lu Xiaoqiao because of her family background, she will never join forces with others to ignore her.

It all started when a friend of her aunt introduced a boyfriend to Li Na. He was also a civil servant and a native of Hangzhou. His family also paid for the wedding house in full. Li Na was very satisfied with this blind date partner.

The blind date was set at her aunt's house. Originally, Lu Xiaoqiao was going to have a dinner with Zhao Jia and the others that day, but before they arrived at the dinner place, Zhao Jia called and said he had something to do, so the dinner was cancelled.

She didn't know that the two of them were going to have a blind date at her aunt's house. After she returned, she was spotted by Li Na's blind date. Since then, Li Na believed that Lu Xiaoqiao did it on purpose and wanted to steal someone else's girl by relying on her beauty.

When they walked into the house, the food was already prepared and placed on the dining table.

"Li Na, Xiao Qiao, come here! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, another dish will be ready soon." Zhang Minzhi greeted them enthusiastically.

Lu Xiaoqiao caught a glimpse of a strange middle-aged woman cooking in the kitchen and guessed she was the new nanny.

After washing their hands, they sat around the dining table. Lu Xiaoqiao still sat in the same seat where she had sat when she first lived here.

There were four Northeastern specialty dishes and two Hangzhou local dishes on the table. The Northeastern dishes were stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut, pot-wrapped pork, stir-fried pork slices, and a dish of cold jelly.

The cold jelly and the two stir-fried vegetables from Hangzhou were placed closest to Lu Xiaoqiao. The table could not be moved, so she only ate these three dishes.

"Xiao Qiao, I heard that Jiang Heng's order was negotiated?"

The person who asked Lu Xiaoqiao the question was her uncle-in-law Liu Zhengqiang who was sitting opposite her.

As soon as Liu Zhengqiang finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Xiaoqiao.

"You negotiated Jiang Heng's order?" Li Na, who was sitting next to Lu Xiaoqiao, asked in surprise, her tone unclear whether it was disdain or disbelief.

"It's not confirmed yet. It won't be confirmed until the contract is signed tomorrow."

"The contract will be signed tomorrow, what difference can it make? It will definitely work out. Xiao Qiao, tell your uncle-in-law to keep working in the sales department. At the end of the year, your uncle-in-law will give you a little more bonus. Is that okay?"

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, the kitchen nanny brought over a plate of freshly steamed giant crabs.

Liu Zhengqiang quickly took a large crab and handed it to Lu Xiaoqiao: "My uncle knows you like to eat this. I couldn't bear to eat it when I received it yesterday, so I saved it for you today."

Lu Xiaoqiao took it and said "thank you" and said nothing else. She felt a little uneasy, afraid that her uncle-in-law would go back on his word and not agree to her transfer to the design department.

After dinner, my aunt and uncle-in-law went back to their room as usual to settle the day's bill at the physical store. Liu Ye was called out by a friend, and the rest of the people watched TV in the living room.

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at the people sitting on the sofa in the living room. The sofa in the living room was not big, and three people were sitting on the long side facing the TV. The only vacant sofa on the side was deliberately pulled by Zheng Yan to sit on it when she saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming.

Lu Xiaoqiao was too lazy to care about her childish behavior and went upstairs to find her aunt. She mentioned that Qin Momo wanted to work part-time in an offline store on weekends.

After seeing that her aunt had agreed, she brought up the matter that she had not been able to say at the dinner table just now. She did not want to continue staying in the sales department. Her aunt told her not to think too much about it and that she would definitely keep her promise of transferring her to another position if she signed Jiang Heng's order.

Only after she saw her aunt agreed did she leave with peace of mind.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Liu Zhengqiang thought she had gone downstairs, so he spoke without restraint.

"You are the only one who makes random wishes. Xiao Qiao is pretty. What else can she do besides sales? She is good at speaking and handling things. Besides, she is the only good-looking salesperson in our company. If you transfer her away, I wonder where you can find another one."

Lu Xiaoqiao's heart suddenly trembled, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

She suddenly recalled what the financial manager said this afternoon: "You all hire pretty salespeople, aren't they there to accompany clients?"

After hearing what Liu Zhengqiang said, Zhang Minzhi's voice could not help but rise a few notes. "What's wrong with being pretty? Does being pretty mean she has to be a salesperson? She is my sister's daughter. Liu Zhengqiang, I advise you to put your mind right. You must keep your promise to me. Anyway, sign the contract tomorrow and transfer to another job."

"What are you talking about? I don't have any bad intentions. Who wouldn't like that pretty girl? I don't believe that if a pretty girl and an ugly girl were standing there at the same time, no one would want to give the order to the pretty one."

Lu Xiaoqiao stared at herself in the mirror above the sink. She had been praised for her beauty since she was a child. Is it wrong to be pretty? She just wanted to be able to work simply and do what she liked.

The next morning.

Lu Xiaoqiao was sitting at her workstation eating breakfast. As it was still early, many colleagues in the company had not arrived yet. Not to mention Lin Lin, who worked at the next desk, who always came to the company at the last minute to clock in every day.

Lu Xiaoqiao came to the company early today because she was organizing the documents for the contract she would be signing with Jiang Heng later. Therefore, she arrived a little earlier and wanted to sort out the necessary related information.

However, before she went to Jiang Heng, Manager Qian came to her with the contract!

Lu Xiaoqiao rolled up the bag of pancakes she had eaten and placed it on the table beside her. She drank some water, glanced at Manager Qian who was standing beside her, and said, "Why is Manager Qian here?"

Manager Qian didn't sleep well the whole night. He really couldn't understand what kind of relationship Lu Xiaoqiao had with the president. It must be more than an ordinary relationship for Secretary Ding to be so respectful to her.

He was worried that when Lu Xiaoqiao went to the company to sign the contract, if she happened to run into the president again, and this little idiot in front of him said something casually, he would be doomed.

"I'm here to sign the contract with Miss Lu." Manager Qian smiled ingratiatingly.

After saying that, he helped Lu Xiaoqiao throw the bag on the table that she was about to throw away into the trash can next to her.

Lu Xiaoqiao simply hated his flattering behavior that changed because of power relations.

Not wanting to waste any more time talking to him, I took him to the meeting room, signed the contract, and sent him away.

On the same day, Lu Xiaoqiao took the order contract and went through all the job transfer procedures.
