Guests are being welcomed at the hotel entrance.
"Annie, congratulations on your marriage! You have a lot of influence, even the CEO invited him to be your best man."
Several colleagues came forward to offer their congratulations.
"Hehe, that's right." Annie was so smug that her nose was practically pointing to the sky. Today's wedding was really worth it.
Not only did I receive a six-figure red envelope from the boss, but I also got him to help carry the fruit platter to make it look good. Haha, this is so awesome! I'll have to get the photographer to come over and take some pictures later.
Ahem, it was a candid shot. Everyone in the company knows that Hsien Ming-yu hates being photographed. If he finds out you're taking a candid shot, you're dead meat.
"However, isn't the woman next to the president a bit too plain? She's not even wearing makeup and is dressed so conservatively. Is she afraid of being seen by someone?"
"That's right, Annie, your taste in bridesmaids is terrible."
Several female colleagues lowered their voices and looked at Bai Xiaoruo, who was standing next to Xuan Mingyu, with disdain.
None of them recognized Bai Xiaoruo. They just wondered how such an ordinary girl could have such an honor standing next to Xian Mingyu. Could she be Annie's younger sister or something?
"This..." Annie was about to explain—
"So what if she doesn't wear makeup? So what if she's wearing a lot of clothes? Do you have a problem with that? Who told you she was a bridesmaid?"
Xianmingyu heard every single word they said.
What do you mean by saying Annie has bad taste in bridesmaids? Does it mean his wife is ugly and not presentable?
She shouldn't have put on this damn show. This idiot kept grinning and laughing at everyone. Did she really not hear what people were saying about her behind her back?
"Uh, no, no." Several female colleagues quickly shook their heads.
They have no sense at all; how come they didn't notice that the CEO and this woman had a special relationship?
Maybe she's the CEO's little sister, that must be it.
"Which department are you from? Your year-end bonuses are all cancelled this year!"
"Huh?" The female colleagues were all dumbfounded.
I worked hard for a year, and I really went to great lengths to get this job. Qingxian Group is not only one of the top companies in L City, but the salary and year-end bonus are also several times higher than others. Now, I've said a few wrong words and my year-end bonus is going to be gone. Oh my god, how am I going to get through the New Year?
I was on the verge of tears, and I didn't know how to apologize.
Anne kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.
Thank goodness, she's always been on good terms with Xiao Ruo and hasn't said a bad word about her, otherwise the big check the boss just gave her would probably have to be taken back.
"What are you doing? What did they do wrong?" Bai Xiaoruo, standing to the side, looked bewildered. Why was he suddenly going to deduct other people's year-end bonuses for no reason?
"They just belittled you so much, I'm being lenient by only deducting their year-end bonuses."
"Today is Annie's big day, everyone is here to congratulate her. If you act like this, how will everyone be able to eat at the banquet later?"
Several female colleagues nodded vigorously. This young girl was actually standing on their side and speaking up for them. They regretted saying so many bad things about her earlier.
"Do you really think you're some kind of savior or a living bodhisattva? People are talking about you, and you're still defending them."
"Hmph! Anyway, you can't just deduct other people's year-end bonuses like that. They're talking about me, not you. I'm not even angry, so why are you?"
They started arguing right away?
Surrounded by onlookers, they couldn't help but silently give Bai Xiaoru a thumbs up in their hearts. Someone actually dared to talk back to their president like that; their courage was truly commendable.
"you!"
He was trying to help her, but she foolishly thought of others first.
If she weren't his wife, he wouldn't bother with this.
"You said you'd listen to me today, but you lied to me!" Bai Xiaoruo turned her face away angrily.
What she disliked most was his cold and domineering demeanor. She knew that Xian Mingyu was backing her up, but it was really unnecessary. She didn't take those people's words to heart at all, so why should he get angry with them?
Bai Xiaoruo ignored whatever people who didn't know her thought of her. If they didn't like her, they didn't like her; if they hated her, they hated her. She never intended to please anyone.
"When did I lie to you? I... I won't deduct their year-end bonuses, okay?"
"Really?" Bai Xiaoruo turned back to look at Xuan Mingyu.
"Um."
Hmm, I can instantly detect a strong scent of illicit affair!
This young girl's relationship with their CEO seems rather unusual.
What does it mean to be opportunistic? The following actions perfectly illustrate this.
"Thank you, Madam President! You are so kind! We were blind to your greatness. From now on, we will definitely work hard."
this......
Several female colleagues suddenly bowed and scraped to Bai Xiaoruo as if they were worshipping their ancestors. She was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Xian Mingyu. She was confused by their actions and felt flattered.
She didn't actually do anything, so why are they still calling her the president's wife?
Now, it will be difficult for her to protect her relationship with Xian Mingyu, no matter how well she tries.
"Alright, all of you hurry up and go inside, don't get in the way!"
"Yes, yes, yes." With their year-end bonuses secured, those female colleagues scurried away faster than anyone else, afraid that if they were a step too slow, the CEO would change his mind again.
Upon hearing the female colleagues call Bai Xiaoruo "President's wife," the other invited colleagues followed suit, bowing to Bai Xiaoruo and saying "Hello, President's wife" before hurriedly entering the hotel.
