After speaking with Xu Jie, Jiang Ning changed back into her original makeup and went to work.
Lucy was at her desk, touching up her makeup with a mirror. When she saw her come in, she gave a mocking smirk.
She had already discussed it with Lin Tao, and they were determined to embarrass Jiang Ning today.
Their company is small, and they eat lunch at a nearby restaurant where the boss orders meals for the employees.
At noon, Jiang Ning and Xu Yan sat down to eat together.
Halfway through the meal, her colleague told her that someone was looking for her outside.
"Sister Xu, could you please keep an eye on things for me?"
She asked Xu Yan to watch the food while she went outside to check.
There was no one outside, which puzzled her, until she saw Lin Tao's hurried departure.
She chuckled and found a place to enter the space.
When she returned to the hotel, she saw Lucy deliberately diverting Xu Yan's attention by adding some kind of powder to her food.
She took a closer sniff and smelled a laxative.
There's a meeting this afternoon with several foreign business owners. It's very important and concerns next year's orders.
If she suddenly gets diarrhea in this situation, it will definitely leave a bad impression on them, and they might not even let her participate in the meeting.
She's going to miss out on such a great learning opportunity.
With a smirk, she retrieved a packet of laxatives from her spatial storage and went to the gate where Lin Tao was stationed.
She poured the entire packet of laxatives into the kettle in the room.
She was much gentler with Lucy, only sprinkling some itching powder on her chair.
In the afternoon, foreign business owners passed through the gate one after another and entered the company.
Lin Tao noticed that among the group of tall, muscular white men was a blonde, blue-eyed woman. He immediately approached her with great enthusiasm and offered to lead the way.
Who knew that after walking only a few steps, his stomach suddenly churned, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He tried to endure the discomfort and not vomit, but then, stale air rushed down from his back.
After a loud bang, a foul stench filled the air.
The blonde, blue-eyed beauty quickly covered her nose and walked away from him with disgust.
Lin Tao didn't bother leading the way and rushed to the toilet, afraid that if he was a second too slow, he would poop out.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, Xu Jie, who had been scouting the area from a distance, saw that there was no one at the gate and quickly followed the group inside.
Once everyone was seated in the conference room, Jack announced that the meeting would begin on time.
Just then, Lucy took out the document and was about to read it aloud when Xu Jie burst in.
"Excuse me, I'll take a few minutes of your time. Lucy and I are childhood sweethearts, and today, with the utmost sincerity, I solemnly propose to her..."
He held out his bouquet and tenderly recited the marriage proposal he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.
All his colleagues were there, and he gave Lucy flowers in front of so many people. She must have felt very proud!
Lucy snapped out of her initial daze, looked at Jack blankly, and shook her head frantically, as if to say that this was not her arrangement and that she knew nothing about it.
At this moment, the itching powder on her body took effect, and it felt like thousands of insects were crawling on her face, neck, and back, making her unable to resist scratching. Before long, her face was covered with red marks from her fingernails.
Xu Jie was also unaware of this situation, and hurriedly asked her what happened, offering to help her.
Lucy was furious when she saw the flowers in his hand.
Thinking it was a pollen allergy, she snatched the flowers, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them frantically with her high heels.
"Get out of here! I never want to see you again! Pete, where the hell have you been? Why did you let this guy in?"
Lin Tao came over clutching his stomach, his face looking worse than if he had stepped in dog poop.
"Sorry, I had a bit of diarrhea just now."
Upon seeing him, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man instinctively covered his nose and said to Jack:
"Get them out of here. If I see them again, we can forget about doing business."
Jack was already furious, and upon hearing her words, he stood up and personally kicked them all out of the conference room.
Jiang Ning quickly took out a bottle of fragrance and sprayed it in the corner of the conference room, which finally made everyone's expressions look a little better.
Despite this minor hiccup, the meeting was still a great success thanks to the professional skills of Xu Yan and Jiang Ning.
These business owners have their eyes on the Chinese market and have placed orders ranging from 10,000 to over 100,000 pieces. The contracts will be finalized gradually.
Many people specifically requested that Xu Yan and Jiang Ning be in charge.
Xu Yan was completely stunned by this meeting.
When Jiang Ning first came to intern, everyone thought she was a nuisance, but only Xu Yan accepted her and taught her a lot of professional knowledge.
Clearly, her choice was the right one.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, her performance next year will far surpass theirs.
The others returned to their workstations dejectedly, and when they saw Lucy's face covered in redness and swelling, their anger exploded.
"Lucy, what happened to you? How could you make such a mistake at such an important meeting!"
"How could you be such a good secretary? If it weren't for your negligence, we wouldn't have so few orders."
They shifted the blame onto Lucy.
Lucy was also aggrieved: "How was I supposed to know that my friend would suddenly barge in!"
After hearing her words, everyone turned their anger towards Lin Tao.
Someone has to be responsible for this.
If Lin Tao had done his post properly, Xu Jie wouldn't have come in.
They stormed into Jack's office and staged a collective petition demanding Lin Tao's dismissal.
Lin Tao was soon summoned to Jack's office.
Faced with the accusations of the crowd, he pleaded desperately.
"Please forgive me this time, since I suddenly have diarrhea."
He came to this lousy class because Jack invited him, and because he wanted to enhance his resume.
Knowing foreign hooligans gives him a bit of face among his fellow hooligans.
Having worked for a gang leader for several years, all he knows is how to solve problems with his fists.
His plan was to gradually expand his influence by working as a security guard for foreigners, and eventually establish his own security company.
Jack forgave him because he had once saved him.
"Pete, this is the last time. If you make any more mistakes at work, I can't protect you anymore. This time, I'll deduct a month's salary from your pay."
Lin Tao had no choice but to accept it, and he ran towards the toilet again, clutching his buttocks.
Lucy also had a month's salary docked, and when she returned to her seat, she was crying her eyes out.
Tears streamed down the scratches on her face, causing a tingling pain all over her face.
Neither of them could have imagined that they, who originally intended to embarrass Jiang Ning, would end up being the ones who were left in a sorry state.
Watching Jiang Ning and Xu Yan happily discussing the order, a malicious glint flashed in their eyes.
In the following days, Lucy and Lin Tao's affair became the subject of much gossip and jokes among their colleagues.
When Jiang Ning told everyone about it, they all burst into laughter.
In this joyful mood, the twins celebrated their birthday.
