"Gu Xiaoting, you didn't just ignore what I said, did you?"
Jiang Yimei only now realized that Gu Xiaoting's many questions were all just to test her, not because she suspected that she and Manager Lin had any shady dealings.
It's a waste of her time and effort to make such a solemn vow, take it seriously, and try to persuade her with all her heart.
"How could that be? Of course I'll take my best friend's advice to heart. Don't worry, I won't fall into his trap so easily," Gu Xiaoting replied.
"I've given you all the advice you needed to give, so do whatever you want; just don't blame me, your good sister, for not warning you before you get dumped."
Seeing that Jiang Yimei still had a dark expression, Gu Xiaoting had no choice but to say coquettishly, "Alright, alright, I know you mean well. To repay your kind reminder, I'll treat you to lunch today."
"You said it, so don't go back on your word."
"I won't go back on my word!"
With a smug reply, Gu Xiaoting slid back to her work and focused on her task.
Jiang Yimei smiled and then immediately got back to work.
…
At lunchtime, Gu Xiaoting and Jiang Yimei arrived at the cafeteria, swiped their meal cards twice, and then took their food to a table and sat down.
After wolfing down a few mouthfuls, Gu Xiaoting said in disbelief, "Yiyi, do you know that this Manager Lin is a returnee from overseas and has obtained two doctoral degrees from a famous economics school abroad? He has exceptional business acumen."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yimei gave a curt reply and then pretended to eat her meal as if nothing had happened.
"I got this information from a good friend in the HR department, so it should be correct," Gu Xiaoting replied.
"Oh, then he's very outstanding."
Jiang Yimei continued to pretend she didn't care, her voice unusually indifferent.
Gu Xiaoting felt that her good friend's reaction was a bit unusual. Shouldn't a normal person be surprised when they hear this news?
So, she asked with great curiosity, "Yi Yi, how come you don't feel anything? Two PhDs! Two PhDs at such a young age, it's clear he's extraordinary and unique."
"His excellence is none of my business."
Jiang Yimei remained indifferent, but no one noticed that her face had turned ashen.
Completely oblivious to this, Gu Xiaoting, preoccupied with Manager Lin, pressed on relentlessly, "Yi Yi..."
At this moment, Jiang Yimei finally exploded, roaring without any regard for sentimentality: "Stop asking, okay? When we sisters eat, we talk about things between the two of us, stop bringing him up, okay?"
Gu Xiaoting was startled and asked with concern and confusion, "Yiyi, what's wrong? Why do you get so angry and sullen whenever I mention Manager Lin?"
"In short, I hate this person and don't want to hear anything about him."
Jiang Yimei revealed her true feelings, no longer hiding them, and regardless of whether it would involve other things.
Gu Xiaoting was still puzzled: "Why? You two don't even know each other, do you have such a deep grudge?"
Jiang Yimei replied without changing her expression: "Let me tell you, what I hate most is someone like him who wears a suit, acts all high and mighty, thinks he's something special, and then thinks he can bully others at will."
After saying that, he put down his chopsticks and walked away.
Gu Xiaoting was stunned, not knowing what this was all about.
"What...what exactly is going on? Who did Manager Lin, who never leaves the house, offend?"
…
Jiang Yimei rushed into the restroom after leaving the cafeteria, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
