Chapter 671 - Battlefield-Like Office (2/2)

“Let Mommy take a look.” Xia Ruoxin walked over and glanced through her daughter’s homework.

Rainy’s drawing was not bad, and her writing was decent and nice. Even though it had missing strokes here and there sometimes—amongst the children of the same age, she was already doing quite well.

Rainy placed her hand behind her back and looked up, waiting for her mother’s praise.

“Baby’s so well-behaved.” Xia Ruoxin bent down and carried her daughter. “Come on, let’s shower and sleep.”

Once she thought about tomorrow, Xia Ruoxin felt a discomforting suppression.

She was going to work at Chu Enterprise tomorrow. Four years ago, she would never even have imagined that she would step into Chu Lui’s company; and yet four years later, she actually got in. To think about it, even she thought it was ironic at times.

Rainy fell asleep really quickly, and so she did so in no time. Perhaps Xia Ruoxin had troubling matters in her heart so she kept tossing and turning in bed until she finally fell asleep after a long while. When she opened her eyes again, the sun was already up.

She checked her watch. It was around six in the morning so she should be awake.

After tidying the room, making breakfast for her daughter, and bringing her to school; she sighed deeply. It was like she was on her way to the execution ground when she was sitting in the car to Chu Lui’s office. Honestly, if she had a choice, she would definitely not come here and be related to Chu Lui once again.

Just that, when her daughter fell sick, she began to realize that her pride would not get her anywhere.

She needed to work here and earn her own keep to provide for her daughter. Besides, the benefits that Chu Lui gave were tempting. She had already heard before all the staff at Chu Enterprise earned a high salary and experienced great benefits. Finally, she saw this for herself.

Outside, she sighed a few times before finally going in. Once the receptionist saw her, she smiled politely.

“Hello Miss, may I know who are you looking for? Do you have a booking?”

Perhaps she was a stranger face so they had to ask to make sure.

Xia Ruoxin touched her face. It turned out that there were still people who did not recognize her here. People were indeed forgetful, and to think she thought that everyone knew her face? However, the truth was that it was not… as time had already washed everything off.

Xia Ruoxin took out something from her bag, which was what Chu Lui called ‘work pass’, so that receptionist could naturally tell the person they were serving their job details.

Once the secretary saw the work pass, she smiled even brighter than before.

“Oh, so you’re Ms. Xia. Sorry, CEO had already informed me about you. Please follow me; I’ll bring you to your office.”

Her manner-filled sentences made Xia Ruoxin a bit embarrassed. She was not born with a silver spoon. She had grown up in the Xia household; even though she did not receive much status and she was the Xia household’s stepdaughter, she still did learn quite a few things. Whatever those women knew, she knew as well; and no matter how the years went by, she did have the disposition of not-a-distinguished job, yet not petty.

After they left, the people outside started gossiping.

“Who was this? Why did she need Sister Shalin to send her up personally?”

The other person then warned in a low voice. “Be quiet, just in case you say something wrong. This was something the CEO asked for personally so the Ms. Xia was not anyone normal. Rumor had it that her office was on the seventeenth floor, and the more she went up, the more difficult the job became.”

Reality was exactly the same. Chu Enterprise was just like a pyramid where Chu Lui was at the top, and all the others were slowly inching their way up. While others rise, there definitely would be someone who fell.

After they climbed up, they naturally could achieve more of the things that they liked. This was a custom: the higher the person was in terms of floor, the higher their salary and benefits.

However, it was not only ‘hard’ to go up floor by floor—it was with so much difficulty. It was easy for one to fall, but once the person fell, it would be as if they fell to their death and their bones shattered, causing them to leave.
