It is precisely because of this complex relationship that Lu Xiaoyue hates Xu Xin more than anyone else.
"Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about? You've been staring out the window in a daze!"
Lu Xiaoyue was thinking about Xu Xin when Xu Xin herself appeared in Lu Xiaoyue's office.
Because the two were like sisters, Xu Xin had special privileges in Lu Xiaoyue's office; she could come and go as she pleased.
She was the only one in the entire company with this privilege.
Hearing Xu Xin ask her a question, Lu Xiaoyue suppressed the hatred on her face, put on a sweet smile, and pretended to have just noticed Xu Xin, saying:
"Xiaoxin, I was thinking about jewelry design. When did you come in? I didn't even notice."
Xu Xin smiled sincerely, "The jewelry design? Didn't you already finish the draft? Why are you thinking about it again? Is there anything that needs to be revised?"
Lu Xiaoyue nodded: "Yes, I came up with another good idea and I'm going to add it. I'm working on it now and it should be ready this afternoon."
A fleeting, almost imperceptible ruthlessness crossed Xu Xin's face, which quickly vanished, replaced by a concerned expression.
"Xiaoyue, no matter how busy you are at work, don't overwork yourself. Seeing how much you've worried about the jewelry design for the company's upcoming IPO, and how much weight you've lost, really breaks my heart."
Lu Xiaoyue nodded: "Don't worry, Xin Xin, I'm fine."
"Ugh, I just can't do anything with you. You're such a workaholic, you never know how to take care of yourself. Never mind, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll go get you something to eat."
Lu Xiaoyue said, "Okay."
Xu Xin went out, and returned a short while later.
Carrying a thermal container, he placed it on Lu Xiaoyue's desk as soon as he entered the office. While opening the container, he said, "I still have a few dumplings left from last night. I just ran back to cook them for you. Eat them while they're hot."
"Okay, put it here, I'll eat it in a bit," Lu Xiaoyue said.
Xu Xin, unsuspecting, said, "Okay, I'm going out to get busy now. Remember to finish it."
After Xu Xin left, Lu Xiaoyue suppressed her nausea, poured all the dumpling wrappers from the lunchbox into a food bag, tied the bag shut, and threw it into the trash can.
Then I sat in front of the computer and copied the wrong jewelry design files onto my desk. They were full of plagiarized ideas and works from other companies, and there was a scary video in the middle that would be triggered when I clicked on it again.
He cut and pasted the jewelry design sketches he created himself, then erased them from the computer so that Xu Xin wouldn't notice anything amiss.
In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoyue said to Xu Xin, who was at her workstation outside the door, "Xin Xin, I have to go out this afternoon and won't be back at the company until tomorrow. You can handle anything at the company yourself; you don't need to report to me."
In the past, because of her unconditional trust in her best friend, Lu Xiaoyue would always let Xu Xin handle company matters no matter where she went.
She can handle small matters on her own without needing to report them; she only needs to call Lu Xiaoyue to inform her of big matters.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xin was overjoyed, thinking, "My chance has come!"
On the surface, he remained calm, and in a tone that seemed to show concern for Lu Xiaoyue, he said, "Xiaoyue, don't overwork yourself."
Lu Xiaoyue nodded: "Don't worry, you won't overwork yourself. Xin Xin, it's you who shouldn't overwork yourself. Just have your subordinates do whatever you need to do."
After giving her instructions, Lu Xiaoyue picked up her bag and left, without even turning off her computer.
Xu Xin was upstairs and watched as Lu Xiaoyue got into her car, which sped away from the company.
"Hahaha! The opportunity has arrived!"
Xu Xin quickly went over and sat in Lu Xiaoyue's office chair. She took out a USB drive and quickly copied Lu Xiaoyue's jewelry design files.
After finishing, Xu Xin walked out of the president's office.
Inside the luxury car, Lu Xiaoyue watched Xu Xin's actions in the surveillance video and smiled smugly.
After waiting for several hours, I received a message from the bodyguard saying that Xu Xin had secretly given the USB drive to someone from a rival company.
Lu Xiaoyue then slowly pressed the emergency call button.
"Hello, is this 110? I need to call the police..."
Meanwhile, Xu Xin was completely unaware that her activities had been leaked.
I leisurely drank a cup of milk tea downstairs and strolled around the streets for a while before slowly returning to my workstation at the company.
Instead of working properly at their desks, they pull out their phones and start watching dramas.
Xu Xin's phone rang halfway through watching the show.
Upon seeing the call notification, Xu Xin was startled and quickly got up from her workstation and went into Lu Xiaoyue's president's office.
As for why they went into the president's office, it's because no one else dared to go into Lu Xiaoyue's office.
Therefore, it's best to make the call from inside. No one will dare to come in and disturb you, and no one will dare to overhear what you're saying on the phone.
Xu Xin pressed the answer button on the phone only after entering the office.
"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"
A hoarse, raspy voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding like a ghost.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xu Xin, I think you've grown up and become all independent, haven't you? You haven't sent back your allowance for this month yet! Hurry up and transfer the money to me!"
Xu Xin was trembling with fear, terrified of her gambling-addicted father.
"Dad, didn't I just transfer 5,000 yuan to you a few days ago? How come you're out of money again?"
Xu Binghong roared, "That 5,000 yuan from a few days ago, you used it, didn't you! Xu Xin, do you suspect I used the money? Your mother hasn't been feeling well lately..."
The checkup fees alone cost several thousand, and we gave over 1,000 to your brother. We only kept a few hundred for ourselves. Hurry up and transfer the money to me!
"My monthly salary is only 10,000 yuan. I've already transferred 5,000 yuan to you, and I used the remaining 5,000 yuan to sign up for yoga classes. I don't have any extra money at all! Are you thinking of gambling again?"
"Dad," Xu Xin pleaded, "I really have no money left this month, not even living expenses. I guess I'll have to eat instant noodles every day this month."
"What do you care what I do with it! Xu Xin, shut up and send the money right now, or I'll go to your company and cause a scene, I'll ruin your reputation! Oh, right, don't you have a rich boss as a best friend? Ask her to give you the money!"
"Xu Xin, let me tell you, if you don't transfer 20,000 yuan to me today, I'll come to your company and cause trouble tomorrow!"
Xu Binghong's words reminded Xu Xin.
Yeah, don't we still have Lu Xiaoyue, that foolish sugar daddy?
"Ha! A stupid fool with too much money! He doesn't even realize he's being used by me."
With a sinister smile on her face, Xu Xin took out her phone and dialed Lu Xiaoyue's number.
