Chapter 15
The woman's name is Shi Xiyu, she is 25 years old, and she started interning at this company after graduating from university.
I've been working here for three years, and I've gone from a junior sales employee to a marketing manager based on my performance.
In terms of work ability, it is quite strong.
Shi Xiyu and Xu Sui were old acquaintances; they met during a club activity at university.
Xu Sui is an honest and straightforward person, and she gets along very well with Shi Xiyu's direct and decisive personality. The two hit it off immediately and have maintained a good relationship ever since. Occasionally, when Shi Xiyu has free time, they will meet up to go shopping or watch a movie.
Looking back on what happened today, Shi Xiyu now realizes that everything was traceable.
She rose through the ranks to become a manager based on her abilities and performance.
But there are actually many people in the company who don't respect her.
There are many people older than her, who have been with the company longer, and who can endure more hardship and work more overtime.
Shi Xiyu said, "It's one thing for them to dislike me normally, since they can't do anything to me anyway. We usually go about our own business and only see each other a few times a week. But now that I think about it... it seems like they premeditatedly pushed this project onto me."
“I came here with my boss to discuss business. I’ve had clients who insisted on treating me to dinner and having a couple of drinks with me before. I can hold my liquor pretty well, and I usually cooperate as long as it doesn’t spoil the fun. But today, they ordered two bottles of baijiu and one bottle of red wine right away. Who can stand mixing drinks like that? I felt something was wrong and kept insisting that I don’t drink. But my boss kept undermining me, saying that I can drink a lot without getting drunk, and he joined in trying to get me drunk.”
Xu Sui got angry and slammed his hand on the table.
"Aren't you going to make a scene?"
Shi Xiyu pouted: "I immediately exposed him and shut him up. That's why he left later. As soon as he left, that old bastard came over and touched my hand, trying to hug me. That's when I knew there was something wrong with this dinner party."
Xu Sui complained: "You still don't know even after you've already started doing it? Then I'm really going to scold you!"
This was the first time Shi Xiyu had encountered such a situation, and the other three people present had also never experienced it before. They all frowned, unsure of where to begin their rant.
Chu Muchao muttered to himself, "There really is someone who relies on female employees to negotiate contracts? How incompetent must he be, and how worthless must his company be?"
Gu Yixin nodded in agreement: "That's right. Generally, if interests align, they'll agree immediately. If there are competitors, then whoever can bring greater benefits will be chosen."
Xu Sui curled her lips: "They say ugly people are often up to no good. He likes to bully women and take advantage of them. This guy is too rotten. How can he possibly survive in this world?"
Shi Xiyu shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, I started recording as soon as I sensed something was wrong. I'll see if I can get the restaurant's surveillance footage and expose it all. Wouldn't he be ruined? Who would dare to work with him then? People would have to think twice before joining his company."
The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"I don't understand."
"I don't understand either."
A gentle voice echoed in Chu Muchao's mind.
Perhaps the other party didn't really intend to do anything; they just wanted to annoy this woman and force her to leave.
Chu Muchao: Is this information you got from the mind-reading drama?
[Perhaps, I can't be sure, after all, I'm just a virtual magical girl working system.]
Chu Muchao shrugged.
Regardless of the reason, it's all low-class and shady stuff.
-
Once the dishes were served, Chu Muchao's attention was almost entirely focused on them.
She was craving fresh fish and lion's head meatballs today, and she didn't know if it was because Chu Wen had made a reservation at Xin Jin Ji that she wanted to eat them.
Xin Jin Ji's fresh fish lion's head meatballs taste quite different from those made at other restaurants. Their soup is exceptionally delicious, and the fish meat is springy and tender.
Chu Muchao is focused on food.
First, I scooped up a bowl of fresh fish meatballs, ate a few bites of the chewy fish meat, and squinted my eyes in satisfaction.
He scooped up another spoonful of the broth, which had been simmered with fish bones until it turned white, and exclaimed, "Mmm~ It tastes really good."
Gu Yixin couldn't help but chuckle: "Why are you still so greedy?"
Chu Muchao didn't take it seriously: "It's normal to crave something delicious. Good food can cure eighty percent of bad moods."
"Really? Then I want to try it too. I desperately need a cure."
Shi Xiyu picked up her small bowl and ladled out a small bowl of soup as well.
Chu Muchao stood up and scooped a lion's head meatball for her: "No, no, the fish meat is the essence."
Shi Xiyu smiled and said, "Thank you."
-
While eating, Xu Sui suddenly asked.
"What are you going to do next? After Old Deng ran away, your boss hasn't come looking for you yet. Who knows what he'll do to trip you up and make fun of you tomorrow? So what are your plans?"
Shi Xiyu paused in her chopsticks and shook her head: "I don't know. I came to this company right after graduation and have been here for about three years. If you ask me what my plans are for leaving... I never thought about leaving this company when I joined. Right now, my mind is blank, and I can't think about the future at all."
Xu Sui nodded, indicating his understanding.
Gu Yixin couldn't quite understand: "Why? You've been working for three years since graduation, you're only twenty-five at most now, you should be full of ideas and enthusiasm right now!"
Chu Muchao pursed his lips, feeling somewhat guilty.
Not necessarily. Take her, for example. Right now, she doesn't have any particular ambitions. She just wants to be a carefree, happy person, without a care in the world, and not think about anything.
Using your brain is tiring.
Shi Xiyu said, "Maybe I've put too much enthusiasm into this company. Since I started my internship, I haven't had much rest. I've been working day and night, and all my passion, energy, and time have been devoted to my work."
"Maybe there's something wrong with my brain; all I can think about is how to work."
"...So, he actually did this to me? Damn, I'm so angry!"
As the topic came up, Shi Xiyu's tone suddenly changed, and her eyes turned fierce.
"He's insane! I've been negotiating business for three years, without drinking or sleeping around, and I've still secured deals with so many big companies. Why is he the only one who can't do it? Why does he have to sell himself to get business?! What a piece of trash!"
Chu Muchao swallowed the beef tenderloin in his mouth and said slowly.
"Perhaps he sees you as a general who overshadows his lord."
"What?"
Shi Xiyu was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
Chu Muchao smiled and asked again, "Sister, is your current company a very big company?"
Shi Xiyu replied, "It's alright, within my reach, it's above average."
Chu Muchao asked, "Is it one of the top 500 companies in the country, or a listed company?"
Shi Xiyu poked the fish with her chopsticks: "It shouldn't be either of those."
Chu Muchao nodded and extended an invitation directly: "Sister, do you know MZ Group? It has a subsidiary called Dream Unlimited. There should be some personnel changes recently, would you like to keep an eye on it?"
Shi Xiyu was slightly taken aback as she looked at the woman in front of her.
With delicate features, her eyes sparkling with affection and a smile, she was radiant and captivating. Every movement she made was elegant and poised, her refined and pampered temperament a natural quality.
The corridor was too chaotic, and after entering the private room, I was so preoccupied with my own emotions that I didn't immediately notice the woman in front of me.
She knew that the top boss of MZ Group was surnamed Chu, and she called the "President Chu" who had just chased away that toad for her "brother". The identity of the woman in front of her was obvious.
Shi Xiyu smiled and joked, "Is this considered a direct recruitment platform by BOSS?"
"I don't think so. I'm just a lazy bum. My brother manages the company," Chu Muchao said. "But, if you're interested, you can look into it. The salary and benefits will definitely be more than what your current company offers. I can guarantee that."
"I was out socializing and I actually ran into BOSS Zhipin. I'm so lucky," Shi Xiyu said with a smile. "Let me take care of what I need to do now. Thank you for your trust and recognition."
Chu Muchao felt that this was not a polite refusal.
Shi Xiyu's words were sincere, and she seemed like someone who would seriously consider things.
She smiled at the other person, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Sister, let's exchange contact information. We should have a chance to meet again in the future."
"Okay." Shi Xiyu took out her phone.
-
After finishing her dinner, Shi Xiyu excused herself to go to the restroom and left the table.
As soon as I stepped out of the private room, a waiter at the door greeted me.
"Madam, is there anything you need?"
Shi Xiyu said, "I want to pay the bill."
The waiter paused slightly, a look of doubt flashing across his face.
Shi Xiyu understood and asked, "Was the bill settled in advance?"
The waiter nodded: "Yes, ma'am. The cost of this private room is on Mr. Chu's tab."
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Muchao and the other two came out.
Xu Sui, carrying Shi Xiyu's handbag, saw that Shi Xiyu was still at the door and couldn't help but ask, "Can't you find the restroom? That's perfect, I'll go with you."
Shi Xiyu smiled apologetically: "Yes, that's right, I couldn't find the way."
Chu Muchao linked arms with Gu Yixin.
"Then we'll go downstairs too."
Xu Sui turned around and waved to them: "Okay."
-
Chu Muchao didn't find Shi Xiyu's behavior strange at all. He chatted with Gu Yixin as they slowly walked towards the stairwell.
A gentle voice from the system echoed in my mind, offering a reminder.
Actually, the lady intended to treat everyone, but she didn't realize the bill had already been charged.
Chu Muchao paused slightly, puzzled: Why did she want to pay the bill?
It seems Miss Mu Mu needs to take a course in "social skills and interpersonal relationships."
Chu Muchao: ...
-
When Xu Sui came downstairs to meet them, she was all alone.
Chu Muchao peeked out, but didn't see Shi Xiyu, and asked, "Where's that sister?"
"She said she needed to talk to the restaurant manager and then go to the company to handle the aftermath, so she wouldn't be coming with us." Xu Sui linked arms with Chu Muchao on the other side, and they walked to the roadside together. "Didn't you say before that you weren't interested in the company? Why are you thinking of poaching Sister Xiaoyu?"
“I think she seems more reliable than that sexist man in a suit at the company.” Chu Muchao curled her lip, her face full of disgust when she talked about him. “Disgusting, I don’t want to talk about him, it makes me nauseous.”
They crossed a small inner street and entered the shopping mall.
Even before the music playing in the mall, the sounds of arguing were the first to be heard.
"Have you no shame? I'm asking you, do you have no shame? You scumbag, you cheated on me and you think you're right? You took my money, pretended to be a rich second-generation, and fooled girls, and you still think you're right?"
