Unwarranted bullying
Guan Shanyue is not a flower in a greenhouse. When she was working alone in the workplace, because she had no background, it was common for her to be robbed of credit by her boss's confidants and to be humiliated by her boss.
But that was because the conflict of interests between the two parties was exposed, and she was in the right, so she still had a chance to fight.
How should we deal with this blatant malice that has no basis whatsoever?
The black card in her trouser pocket brushed against her skin. She gently took the card out and held it in her hand, and suddenly she had an idea.
Two days after the intracranial theater performance, Guan Shanyue received a call from Special Assistant Liu: "Miss Guan, Mr. Shao is having a party with friends tonight and we need you to attend. The makeup artist and stylist have already been booked for you. Please let Aunt Wang know when it's convenient for you and she will contact them for you."
Guan Shanyue was full of vigor and raised his fist to encourage himself, Come on, mercenary!
She quickly told Aunt Wang: "You can contact the makeup artist and stylist now."
Everyone was seated. Guan Shanyue sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were her eyes and her nose was her nose. She nodded with satisfaction, then put on a timid expression and asked, "I wonder if you know Yuan Wangshu?"
Makeup artists and stylists serve wealthy families, so of course they have seen them before.
Seeing the young lady in front of them look so much like Yuan Wangshu, and considering the seemingly unrelated secrets between the Shao and Yuan families, they looked at each other and answered in unison, "No."
Guan Shanyue lowered her eyebrows, her eyes filled with sorrow, but she forced a smile. "Everyone says I look like her, but I don't want to be like her. I want to be myself, but Mr. Shao..." She raised her eyes, her eyes red. "Mr. Shao likes me to dress like her, and he tells me not to smile, saying that when I smile, I don't look like her anymore."
The makeup artist felt a little distressed: "It's okay, let's do a more unique makeup today."
Guan Shanyue curled her lips and smiled: "Thank you very much."
The stylist smiled apologetically and quietly pulled the makeup artist aside under the pretext of picking out clothes: "Can't you tell? Mr. Shao found a stand-in."
"I figured it out, so what?"
The stylist's voice was lowered again and again: "We have to do it according to Mr. Shao's wishes. We have to dress this person the same way as Yuan Wangshu does. It's best if they dress exactly the same."
The makeup artist was speechless: "Are you doing the makeup for Mr. Shao or Miss Guan?"
The stylist gave her a look of disappointment. "Boss Shao invited us here, and our salaries are paid by Boss Shao. Of course, we're subject to Boss Shao's needs. You still don't understand the ins and outs of these wealthy families. This girl is just a canary. When we come back for makeup in a few days, maybe she won't be the one."
The makeup artist couldn't persuade him: "Okay, okay, let's do as you say."
The two people's little plan was completely exposed the moment the makeup was completed.
With the help of cold-toned makeup, a face almost identical to Yuan Wangshu appeared in the mirror. Several golden threads danced on the pure white tube-top suit and hip skirt, a golden orange belt pinched the waistline, and three strings of pearl necklaces of different sizes were wrapped around the neck. Guan Shanyue's lively and free temperament was completely cut off, and she was transformed into a cold and arrogant person.
He looks just like Yuan Wangshu.
Guan Shanyue chuckled secretly. She'd taken the bait, great. She put away her smile and returned to her cautious demeanor, seeking advice from those around her: "Isn't this uncharacteristic of her?"
The makeup artist remained silent, while the stylist said, unconscionably, "Don't worry, it doesn't look like it."
"That's good." Guan Shanyue curled her lips and went out with peace of mind.
Zhenhuan Restaurant.
"Shao Zizhuo suddenly invited us to dinner. Is the sun rising from the west?" Zhao Yi, the second young master of the Zhao family, asked in confusion.
Since he was a child, Shao Zizhuo didn't like playing with people in his circle. He always stayed at home studying alone, and his relationship with this group of people was not very close.
Later we became familiar with each other because of Yuan Wangshu.
Yuan Wangshu was a maverick, a figure of her own in the circle, yet without arrogance, she was gentle and polite in her dealings with others. This strong and beautiful goddess had become the core of the circle. She started a relationship with Shao Zizhuo, and their contact with Shao Zizhuo naturally increased, so they could barely be considered friends.
But since they broke up, Yuan Wangshu went abroad sadly, and Shao Zizhuo devoted himself to studying. They contacted each other less and less, and only got together occasionally during the Chinese New Year. Apart from necessary business dealings, their personal relationship was almost cut off.
"He invited you to dinner, why don't you come quickly? Why do you care why?" Qian Er, the only son of the Qian family, said unhappily.
The Shao family is powerful, so regardless of whether they have any friendship with them or not, they have to show some courtesy to them.
"Speaking of this, his assistant said that he will bring someone to introduce us today. Do you know who it is?" Sun Shan, the youngest son of the Sun family, asked curiously, turning the tea bowl in his hand.
"Who else could it be? You didn't go to the Fan family's dinner that day?" Li Si, the head of the Li family, lowered his voice and said, "Shao Zizhuo found a girl and protected her like the apple of his eye. He even had a fight with Fan Ping at the dinner over this girl. Didn't you know?"
Zhao Yi sat up straight: "I was abroad those days, didn't anyone tell me?"
The other three people looked at each other, and they all had their own thoughts, as clear as a mirror.
Zhao Yi was anxious: "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on? What kind of magic does that girl have?" He suddenly realized, "Wangshu has returned to China?"
Qian Er was speechless: "Where the hell is your brain? You even need Shao Zizhuo to introduce Wangshu to you."
That's right. Zhao Yi was even more confused: "Can you please speak frankly?"
Li Si coughed lightly: "That girl looks exactly like Wangshu."
Zhao Yi suddenly realized something again: "A body double." He was speechless. "No, Wangshu was hurt so badly by Shao Zizhuo all those years ago that he didn't want to fall in love anymore. Now Shao Zizhuo still has the nerve to find a body double?"
Sun Shan calmly analyzed: "I guess it's just for fun. It's unclear whether she will still be there in a few days."
The whole world knows that Shao Zizhuo and Yuan Wangshu are a match made in heaven, but they broke up temporarily for seven, eight, nine or ten years due to some reasons.
Li Si concluded: "With Wangshu gone, I'll find someone like him to ease my longing for him. We're all men, so we all understand."
Everyone fell silent again.
Zhao Yiyi was filled with indignation: "Shao Zizhuo and Yuan Wangshu's breakup was so inexplicable. Shao Zizhuo has been obsessed with her for so many years, and Wangshu has been very secretive about it. We have watched them both get along well, and we figured Wangshu would be back in a few years. Now, a shady substitute suddenly appears, and Shao Zizhuo is making such a formality. Shouldn't we do something?"
"Mind your own business."
Zhao Yi sneered, "Their affairs are no small matter. If they truly marry, the industry chain will only expand, and we'll be able to absorb a lot of resources. Don't you know that?"
Li Si said, "It's not because of these things. I just can't stand the mistress who interferes with Zizhuo and Wangshu."
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why bother playing Liao Zhai? Everyone looked at each other and made a tacit decision.
Before he could say a few more words, Shao Zizhuo pushed the door open and walked in, folding his umbrella and bringing with him a damp smell: "Sorry, I'm late."
Someone followed him into the private room.
Zhao Yi stared at the person who came, his eyes almost popping out.
Xiang family dress, pearl necklace, and that face... Zhao Yi almost blurted out "Wangshu". He quickly picked up the tea and took a gulp to stop his uncontrollable mouth.
Shao Zizhuo sat down, and Guan Shanyue sat next to him. Shao Zizhuo introduced, "This is Guan Shanyue."
For a moment, everyone at the table had different expressions. Guan Shanyue saw everything, remained calm, and showed an official smile.
Just as he was about to say something else, Shao Zizhuo's phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was an international call. He stood up and said, "Sorry, you guys eat first, I'll take a call." He got up and went out.
The private room fell silent.
Guan Shanyue broke the silence and greeted them with a faint smile: "Hello, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
The four people at the table ignored her at the same time.
Li Si waved his hand and called the waiter: "Serve the food."
The waiters came in one after another and placed tableware in front of everyone, except for the set in front of Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue quietly reminded the waiter: "We're still short of a set of bowls and chopsticks."
The waiter paused and subconsciously looked at the other people at the table.
Qian Er raised his chin, and Guan Shanyue followed his gaze. The bowls and chopsticks were set on the small wooden table beside him. He said condescendingly, "Your seat is over there. Our rules are that only respectable girlfriends can eat at the table."
Guan Shanyue lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and stood up to leave: "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have come."
With that face on, his eyes reddened, Zhao Yi softened his heart: "Since you're here, just sit here."
Guan Shanyue looked at Zhao Yi cautiously, but glanced at Qian Er out of the corner of her eye: "Brother, will this cause you any trouble?"
"It's no big deal." Zhao Yi had just finished speaking when Sun Shan kicked him under the table with an expressionless face. Zhao Yi cleared his throat and said, "You can only sit here because of this face, you know, otherwise, with your status, you wouldn't even be able to speak to me."
Li Si added, "You're such a big shot, you really think you're such a big shot?" He continued, "Shao Zizhuo will get tired of playing with a gold digger like you and dump you in a few days."
Guan Shanyue scoffed inwardly, but pretended to be at a loss: "Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"
Qian Er wanted to vomit at the hypocrisy. Apart from his face, this guy looked like an uneducated and brainless canary. Compared with Yuan Wangshu, he was not even a little bit worse. He smiled crookedly: "Stop pretending. We've seen a lot of green tea. We don't fall for it."
Zhao Yi spoke bluntly: "No matter how much you look like Wangshu, your cheap temperament is a world away from hers. A-grade goods sold at street stalls will never compare to luxury goods sold at luxury counters."
A flash of lightning flashed by, thunder exploded in my ears, and heavy rain poured down.
Guan Shanyue lowered his head and said nothing.
"Who is the street vendor?" The door opened at some point, and Shao Zizhuo stood by the door against the light, looking displeased.
