Xu Xinchen was taken aback by the middle-aged woman's domineering attitude and couldn't help but shrink back, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at the woman.
However, remembering Wang Xue's earlier slander against her, Xu Xinchen asked with a hint of probing, "Auntie, do you really not believe anything that woman said just now?"
The middle-aged woman waved her hand dismissively: "Of course we don't believe it. That woman and her two daughters have been talking nonsense ever since they came into this pool. Ask any of us, who can believe what those three women say?"
Xu Xinchen was truly relieved and couldn't help but laugh: "Then Auntie really has a keen eye. It's no wonder that the three of them, mother and daughters, were defeated by you."
The middle-aged woman seemed to be in a good mood after being praised by Xu Xinchen. She waved her hand and asked Xu Xinchen, "Young lady, are you still a college student?"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman looked Xu Xinchen up and down a few times, a hint of certainty on her face: "You must be a college student, right? You don't look very old, and you have a strong scholarly air about you."
Xu Xinchen couldn't hold back any longer, her mouth practically stretching to her ears: "No, Auntie, you've got it wrong. I'm not in school anymore, I'm working as a designer at a company."
"A designer?" The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up immediately. "Is it someone who designs jewelry and clothing, or interior architecture?"
Xu Xinchen never expected that this middle-aged woman, who looked to be around 40 years old, would have such knowledge about the design industry, and suddenly felt more inclined to talk to her.
"I work in jewelry design..." Xu Xinchen said, explaining her job to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up as she listened, and after Xu Xinchen finished speaking, she couldn't help but slap her thigh: "Young lady, do you have any samples of those designs with you right now?"
Xu Xinchen was taken aback, then shook her head: "No, Auntie, I came out to have fun. In order not to let work affect my mood, I didn't bring any of those design-related things with me."
"Oh dear, you didn't bring any." The middle-aged woman sounded regretful, but then she realized that Xu Xinchen was out having fun, so it was normal for her not to have these things with her.
She let go of that regret: "That's really a pity. Why don't you tell me your company's name? I'll keep an eye on it."
Xu Xinchen was completely stunned. She seemed to understand what the middle-aged woman wanted to do, but she wasn't quite sure: "Auntie, you..."
Another middle-aged woman next to her reached out and patted Xu Xinchen on the shoulder: "Why are you still standing here like a fool? Sister Mei has taken a liking to you and wants to support you."
Xu Xinchen was immediately flattered and quickly waved her hand, saying, "This...this..."
I wanted to tell this middle-aged woman, Sister Mei, that she didn't need to make a special effort to support her, but I couldn't bring myself to say it. This was the first time someone had ever said they wanted to support her, even though it wasn't because her designs were beautiful.
However, Xu Xinchen was already very content with just this, so she couldn't bring herself to say any words of refusal.
Sister Mei looked at Xu Xinchen and thought that this girl was really interesting. What she was thinking was directly reflected on her face.
This is much better than those old foxes who have been in the business world for a long time. She is sincere and simple, and it is easy to see through her. It's just a pity that her son is already married.
Besides, this girl already has a boyfriend, so it's not good to break them up. Otherwise, I really wanted to introduce this girl to my son... If my son is married, even a nephew would be fine.
Seeing the mix of panic and anticipation on Xu Xinchen's face, Sister Mei finally put aside her own worries and focused all her attention on Xu Xinchen.
"Go ahead and say it, it's nothing. If your design is really bad, I won't be the one to spend money on you. But if your design is good, then I'll have found something I like and helped you out. Wouldn't that be beneficial for both of us?"
After being told what Mei Jie said, Xu Xinchen's anxious heart finally calmed down. She composed herself and told Mei Jie the name of her company.
Sister Mei slapped her thigh: "Alright, I've got it. I'll keep a close eye on your company's developments. If you come up with any good designs, be sure to save me a copy."
Xu Xinchen nodded gratefully. Regardless of whether her designs would meet Mei Jie's approval, she was happy as long as Mei Jie had the intention.
Xu Xinchen left after 40 minutes because she had a pleasant conversation with Sister Mei, thus delaying her departure.
20 minutes.
When she went outside, she found that the once empty hall was now bustling with activity, with an enormous crowd gathered in the center.
If it were just a complete stranger causing trouble here, Xu Xinchen might have just taken a look and moved on. But the person currently surrounded by the crowd is clearly her boyfriend.
Xu Xinchen could no longer remain calm. She grabbed a person who was standing there staring at the center and, without caring who the person was, asked directly, "Excuse me, big brother, can I ask you what's going on here?"
The man who had been watching the commotion was initially annoyed because someone had grabbed his clothes and forced him to turn around. However, when he saw that the person asking him the question was a pretty and seemingly innocent young girl, his impatience vanished instantly.
"Oh, you mean this? I'm telling you, it seems this guy got caught doing something by his girlfriend, and they're arguing about it now."
The man began to explain excitedly. Whether it was because he was naturally fond of gossip or for some other reason, he spoke with great enthusiasm.
It was as if she had seen everything about Chen Ningsheng; almost every word she uttered was meant to slander him.
