Chapter 3: Confrontation
Wei Xiaohui's rage meter just peeks to breaking point! How could her best friend go so low and take her career away as well?!
More than that, she couldn't believe Zhou Liqin would let this happen. Before Wei Xiaohui could rage on, Liu Zemin enters the room,
"Is everything alright?!" He heard shouting and rushed in worried.
"It's nothing. I just saw something I shouldn't have." Wei Xiaohui regains her composure. She knows that shouting and yelling won't help. There's nothing she could do for now.
"Don't worry about it for now. It'll just affect your health more." Wei Xiaohui nods to it. If she keeps thinking about this, she knows a blood vessel will pop.
Seeing her calm expression, Liu Zemin warns her, "Also, you should be more careful. Don't get so angry, or your face will look like a monster."
"Pff." The stern expression as he said it made Wei Xiaohui laugh. "Then I would have been a monster a long time ago!"
When Liu Zemin saw her laugh, "I knew it. You look better with a smile on your face."
Wei Xiaohui blushes in embarrassment.
"Get some rest."
Wei Xiaohui warms up, "Thank you."
...
The next day, Wei Xiaohui left Liu Zemin's apartment. Even though Liu Zemin told her she should rest a bit more, she knows there was still some unfinished business to deal with.
Liu Zemin gave her his phone number and told her, "I'll pick you up later then."
Wei Xiaohui nods her head. The place she was going to was the company HOPE.
She walks through the front door, and when the people at the front desk saw her, they gave her a smile,
"Welcome, young miss." They obviously knew about Wei Xiaohui's identity. Not only that, she was considered to be the company's battery charger of sweetness. She was kind to all the employees. It didn't matter what kind of standing or job they have.
Wei Xiaohui would be fair to all.
"Mmmm." Wei Xiaohui only grunted at them as she walked past them.
The workers thought they would be talking to her more, but they were stunned silent by her coldness. If it was the usual, Wei Xiaohui would have a bright smile and praise them for their good work.
However, the only thing they felt now is cold. Something has happened to the young miss. Nobody gets in her way as she goes up to the top floor, the CEO's office.
She opens the door to see a handsome young man sitting at the desk. If it had been any other time, she wouldn't say a thing and be mesmerized by the look he had with his work.
But now, Wei Xiaohui could only remember the lustful look he had as he kissed her best friend's neck.
"Zhou Liqin." Wei Xiaohui raises her voice to get his attention. She didn't hide her rage in her voice.
Zhou Liqin looked at her, "What do you want?" His voice was unfazed by the angered tone.
This made Wei Xiaohui's anger meter go up, "How can you let Nuying take my career and use it as her own?!" She couldn't believe Nuying would have the guts to say it. Not unless Zhou Liqin gave her permission to do it.
"Oh, you want to talk about that?" Zhou Liqin continues to be unfazed.
"Don't oh me! Explain yourself!"
"You weren't going to be using your career now that you married me. The fame of your career would have slowly died away.
Nuying's reputation has been pretty good. But good isn't enough. If we use your career, it'll help boost her career further."
Zhou Liqin's explanation just made Wei Xiaohui even angrier,
"How could you use it without telling me?!"
"Didn't you want me to help your friend to get to the top with all my power?"
"Of course! But not like this!" She became famous through her hard work and perseverance. So to give everything all her hard work to another person was just wrong.
"Enough, I know you aren't angry because she is using your career." Zhou Liqin sighs.
"I am angry. Stop-"
"I know you saw the two of us." When he said that, Wei Xiaohui was surprised.
'He saw me?' But then Wei Xiaohui realized she had run out of the office in a fit of rage. She didn't realize she had made a good amount of sound.
Before she could say a thing about it, some opens the door,
"Liqin, I got great news!"
