Luo Shimiao took off her mask. Wearing a mask outside is not unusual, but wearing it at a banquet seems quite unusual.
He picked up his glass, tilted his head back slightly, took a small sip of champagne, unlocked his phone, and checked Weibo for comments from his fans.
Little Green stood on the table, its tiny eyes curiously looking around. Its fur hadn't turned white; it looked so free and happy.
"Miss, may I sit here?"
Luo Shimiao paused in her swiping of the screen, looked up, and saw a man in a dark blue suit with a beard standing in front of her.
"Whatever." After saying that, Luo Shimiao continued to look down at her phone.
The man sat down and began to introduce himself: "My name is Xu Jin, the deputy manager of Shuangtai Group. May I ask your name?"
“Gu Sanshui,” Luo Shimiao replied without looking up.
"Your name is very unique and pleasant to hear. May I ask where Miss Gu works?" Xu Jin continued to ask.
"Unemployed..."
A glint of light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes: "I'm currently short of a secretary. I wonder if Miss Gu would be willing to work for our company? Our company offers excellent benefits."
Luo Shimiao frowned. She had already answered three questions out of politeness, so why was he still asking endless questions? She put down her phone, looked directly into the man's eyes, and said expressionlessly, "Do I look like I'm cut out to be a secretary?"
The man's gaze swept over Luo Shimiao's chest, he took a sip of champagne, and said slowly, "I don't know about her abilities, but her appearance is very suitable."
Luo Shimiao was about to speak when Xiao Lü spoke first.
"You damn fool, you hypocrite, you beast in human clothing, you shameless, you beast in human form, you're worse than a pig or a dog, you pretentious, shifty-eyed, despicable little man, how dare you lay a finger on my woman, I'll scratch you to death with my claws!" Little Green's head bristled with fur as it pointed at the man with its wings and cursed.
Luo Shimiao stared in shock, her mouth agape. Why did it know so many swear words? Who taught it?
Xiao Lü's cursing attracted the attention of people nearby, and Xu Jin's face turned ashen.
He was actually insulted by a bird!
The man, unable to save face, turned from red to black: "Miss Gu, I kindly introduced you to a job, but your pet gave me a thorough dressing-down. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Luo Shimiao shrugged: "Who asked you to introduce me to a job? I'm already being very accommodating by answering your three questions. Besides, it's not like I'm insulting you." He paused and continued: "You just said you're the deputy manager of Tai. No wonder you're only a deputy. With such a narrow mind, you can only ever be a deputy."
It may have touched a nerve with the man.
Xu Jin slammed his hands on the table, glaring at Luo Shimiao across from him: "Very well, you've successfully angered me. Just wait to be blacklisted. Let's see which company will hire you!"
"Pfft~" Luo Shimiao laughed out loud. He didn't even know who she was, yet he wanted to blacklist her. Was he kidding?
"Xu Jin, don't you usually watch TV?" the woman sitting at the next table asked.
Luo Shimiao turned her head to look. The woman who spoke had short hair that reached her ears and was wearing an apricot-colored suit. She looked very capable.
"Gao Qianwen? She's out socializing right after giving birth. President Gao is really going all out for her performance. I say women should stay home and take care of their husbands and children. Let men build their careers." Xu Jin leaned back on the sofa, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Whether I watch TV or not is none of your business."
Faced with the other party's sarcastic remarks, Gao Qianwen was not annoyed. She rested her chin on her hand and said, "Although we are competitors, I felt embarrassed for you after hearing what you just said."
Xu Jin snorted coldly, "I think you're the one who's embarrassed." He then turned his gaze to Luo Shimiao, "Are you going to apologize or not?"
Luo Shimiao picked up Xiao Lü, placed her in his palm, crossed his legs, and said, "I can apologize..."
Xu Jin smiled smugly. See? He got scared as soon as the word "ban" came up. Now he's obediently apologizing.
“But you have to listen on your knees.” Luo Shimiao looked at Xu Jin with an arrogant expression: “Eat less salt, look how idle you are, spewing filth everywhere. If you look down on women, you shouldn’t have come out of your mother’s womb. You’d be more suited to be a maggot.”
"If you want an apology, kneel down now. I need to eat soon, don't waste my time here."
Xu Jin stared at Luo Shimiao with a livid expression, then suddenly stood up and waved to the security guards in the venue.
The security guard approached and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
“I remember that pets are not allowed in the hotel. She secretly brought in a bird, and the bird was spewing foul language. It was extremely offensive. We asked them to leave,” Xu Jin said, pointing at Luo Shimiao’s nose.
"This..." The security guard was in a dilemma. Pets were indeed not allowed in the hotel, but he couldn't afford to offend anyone here.
Chen Jiawen returned with the food and saw a man pointing at Luo Shimiao. His eyes blazed with anger, and he rushed over to slap the man's hand away.
"You fucking are..." Xu Jin saw the other person's face clearly, but the rest of the words caught in his throat.
In general, Chen Jiawen's presence here indicates that Haoyang's president, Gu Nian, is also present.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Jin's face. Although the other party was just an assistant, he was that man's assistant, and he couldn't afford to offend him. He quickly switched to a smiling face: "Assistant Chen, I was just scolded by my girlfriend's pet, and I got a little emotional and lost my temper. I'll apologize to your girlfriend here."
"What girlfriend? Don't spread rumors!" Chen Jiawen was so scared that his hands were trembling as he held the food. If the boss heard this, he didn't know if he would still have his head on his neck tomorrow.
Just as he feared, Chen Jiawen caught a glimpse of a tall, slender figure slowly approaching, his face cold and stern, followed by a group of people.
Xu Jin was a little confused. If she wasn't his girlfriend, then why was he protecting her?
"She's not your daughter..."
When Chen Jiawen saw that he was still talking about it, she grabbed the crispy pork ribs from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth to shut him up.
"Cough cough cough." Xu Jin spat out the ribs and coughed while clutching his chest.
Fearing they might start fighting, the security guard quickly stepped between them, ready to intervene and break up the fight at any time.
"Tsk, how could I dare to eat it if it looks like this?" Luo Shimiao frowned and said with disgust.
Chen Jiawen put down his plate and said, "I'll make another one later, the boss is here."
Luo Shimiao immediately turned around and looked back, a smile spreading across her face. Her staunch support had arrived! But when she saw the "thousands of troops" behind the man, her smile vanished.
"Don't follow me," Gu Nian said to the people behind her, noticing the change in her expression.
Those who had been following Gu Nian all stopped in their tracks.
"He bullied you?" Gu Nian came to Luo Shimiao's side, placed his hand on her head, and stared coldly at Xu Jin.
Xu Jin was terrified when he saw the two acting so intimately, and he also realized why Chen Jiawen was so agitated.
