"What about your family? Where are your mom and dad?"
Upon closer inspection, this little dumpling's eyelashes are indeed thick and curled, simply the perfect natural eyelashes she's always dreamed of.
The receptionist was completely charmed by Xiao An's bewildered look.
“An’an is waiting for Daddy here.”
Xiao Anman answered her question very seriously.
That soft, adorable little voice, paired with her serious expression as if she were discussing important matters, made the receptionist's fingers itch to click.
I really want to pinch her pink and cute little face.
"When will An'an's dad come to pick her up? Is An'an bored? I have some candy here."
The receptionist was charmed by Xiao Anman's sweet, childlike voice and greeted her warmly while opening snacks for her.
Candy...
Xiao An touched her penguin-shaped bag; there was only one candy left for the day.
But this older sister still wanted to give her candy.
Should we accept it or not?
Xiao Anman looked at the colorful and pretty candies that the receptionist was unwrapping and felt a little tempted.
But Dad and the nanny both said that children shouldn't eat too much sugar, otherwise their teeth will get cavities.
But An'an really likes Tangtang...
As soon as she started to worry, Xiao An's delicate eyebrows began to twitch like caterpillars.
After a brief internal struggle, Xiao Anman finally shook her head at the receptionist and said, "An'an has candy, I can't eat your candy."
Aww, the little dumpling's voice is so sweet!
Completely ignoring An'an's rejection of her kindness, the receptionist was inwardly screaming how adorable An'an was.
She, an unmarried young woman, even wanted to have a baby like An'an to play with.
For a foodie, it's incredibly difficult to resolutely refuse snacks. The receptionist had no idea what kind of internal struggle Xiao Anman went through to finally give in.
Unfortunately, the receptionist hadn't even had a chance to spend much time with Xiao An before her manager came over.
"What are you doing during work hours?"
The manager at the front desk was only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he wore heavy makeup, with bright red lips, and looked very intimidating.
"Supervisor, I'm sorry, I'll go back to my post right now."
The receptionist immediately pushed the snacks aside, stood up uneasily, and put her hands down by her sides.
Clearly, she was terrified of the supervisor.
"What do you take the Gu family for? Is this a place for you to play around in? And you even brought a child with you?"
The supervisor showed no mercy to the receptionist, crossing his arms and spitting as he spoke.
"No, supervisor, this isn't my child..."
"Just because it's not your child doesn't mean you can abandon your post! The front desk is the face of the Gu family business; don't you have any sense of responsibility?!"
The receptionist has two roles. The receptionist who was scolded lowered her head and didn't dare to argue. She also had her own colleagues at the front desk, and she had only been out for a few minutes.
"I told you we couldn't lower the standards too much this year. What kind of people are we hiring? They're not even fit to take out the trash for the Gu family, yet they've been brought in as receptionists!"
The supervisor's words became increasingly offensive, even escalating into personal attacks.
The receptionist is only 22 years old this year. She's young and new to the workforce, so she's never heard such harsh words before.
Tears immediately welled up in my eyes.
"You still have the nerve to cry?! The company hired you to work, not to enjoy yourself. Can't I say a few words to you? How pretentious!"
When the manager saw the receptionist wiping her tears with the back of her hand, he not only showed no sympathy but his expression became even more unpleasant.
They were really fierce and noisy.
Although she wasn't quite sure why, Xiao An knew that this fierce-looking aunt was bullying someone because the woman in that small village used the same tone to scold her when she was unhappy.
Xiao An rubbed her ears uncomfortably, then slowly slid off the sofa and touched the receptionist's leg with her little hand, indicating that she should hold her hand.
She wanted to take the girl who gave her candy with her so that the stern-looking aunt wouldn't be able to keep scolding her.
"And you still say this child has nothing to do with you?"
The supervisor reached out and grabbed the strap of Xiao Anman's penguin bag, and without caring whether it was hurting Xiao Anman, he spoke sarcastically.
It's one thing to scold her, but you can't bully such a young child!
The receptionist snatched Xiao Anman from the supervisor's hands.
"Don't go too far. An'an has nothing to do with me. You can leave work-related matters alone, but how can you bully a child!"
"Show me some respect. I'm your boss. How dare you talk to me like that?"
The fierce-looking supervisor was practically bristling with anger.
Just then, a woman wearing a light pink shirt and red high heels walked over.
"Linda, what's wrong?"
"Manager, this new receptionist has left her post during work hours and brought a child to the company."
When Linda's supervisor saw that it was Manager Gu, she immediately became even more energetic.
Gu Manqi is a relative of a collateral branch of the Gu family. Because of her surname, she works as the manager of the logistics department on the third floor of the Gu Group building. As such a relative of the imperial family, everyone usually tries to curry favor with her.
So even though Gu Manqi was younger than her, she didn't dare to put on airs in front of her.
Gu Manqi glanced at the receptionist who was holding Xiao Anman and whose eyes were red. After her gaze swept around the receptionist, it fell back on Xiao Anman.
This child, both in appearance and clothing, doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family.
"What is your relationship with this child?"
The receptionist, Jian Yu, glanced at Gu Manqi and replied, "This little girl is waiting for her father here. I just saw her here alone and came over to talk to her for a while."
"You still dare to lie? This child is someone you know."
Linda immediately refuted her words, and then said to Gu Manqi, "Manager Gu, I think this person should be fired directly. How can someone like her work at our Gu Corporation?"
Judging from Linda's tone, anyone who didn't know better would think that Gu's Group was something she, a mere manager, could call the shots.
"Give me the child, I want to ask her."
Xiao An was dressed neatly and looked lively and cute, like a delicately carved little doll. Although Gu Manqi was quite willing to believe Linda's words, she still felt that something was not quite right to believe that this little girl had any relationship with a receptionist.
The receptionist, Jian Yu, had no reason to refuse Gu Manqi's request, so she had no choice but to put Xiao Anman down.
Just as Gu Manqi leaned over to talk to Xiao Anman, Xiao Anman turned around, put her little hand on Jian Yu's hand, and then pulled hard.
Let's go, we won't talk to that nasty guy.
