480 She’s Here (2/2)
Xiang Wan replied to him.
”I'm nervous, but I don't show it outside…”
”Mm, remember what you told me. You are Bai Muchuan's woman.”
”… Oh, someone's getting arrogant again.”
”Be proud of it, my Little Xiang Wan!”
”…”
After that, they ended the conversation.
She glanced around to look for Ding Yifan.
It was not convenient for Bai Muchuan to give her work.
The one in charge of that was Ding Yifan.
Xiang Wan did not see him, so she posted a message at the Gossip group chat.
”Detective Ding, where are you? I'm here to report for work.”
”Teacher Xiang, you're here?” responded Ding Yifan, ”I'm currently upstairs. Please wait for me, I'll be back soon.”
”No hurry,” replied Xiang Wan, ”I'll wait for you near the main entrance! You can finish your work first.”
She saw an empty chair and wanted to sit on it when she heard a clear female voice.
”Hey!”
That tone did not sound friendly.
Xiang Wan looked over and true enough, she saw her ”enemy”.
”That's my chair!” Cheng Xin was never nice to Xiang Wan.
Nevertheless, since she just did her self-reflection a few days ago, her gloomy face didn't last for over three seconds, and she plastered a proud smile of a pampered young missy over her face.
”You're here to look for Captain Bai, right? My apologies, I still have work to do, so I can't let you have my seat. You can wait elsewhere for him. Then again, everyone's busy, and I don't think they have the time to bother with you…”
After that, she pulled her chair over heavily and sat on it.
That totally was a display of her feeling of superiority as a member of Serious Crime Division One.
Xiang Wan could tell that, even though Cheng Xin had put on a seemingly polite expression.
”I see.” Xiang Wan smiled as she pretended to look at the surroundings as though she hadn't gotten that hint. ”I had thought Officer Cheng must be doing some important work, but it seems like… you're only handling documents?”
That was Cheng Xin's sore spot.
She felt a tug at her heart and realized that she could not keep up with her friendly pretense anymore.
”Every team in Serious Crime Division One is as important. Every job in this division is indispensable.” When Cheng Xin said so, she took a glance at the laptop haversack that Xiang Wan was carrying on her back and revealed an ironic smile. ”It's good for girls to do some easy and simple jobs. It's better than those girls who live like a NEET, and if they don't depend on men, they couldn't survive…”
The last sentence was meant for Xiang Wan.
With Cheng Xin's current job responsibility, she could not take part in the case analysis meeting.
Her relationship with the rest of the colleagues in Serious Crime Division One was not good.
Regarding the matter where Zhan Se was hired as the Honorary Advisor and that Xiang Wan would come to work in Serious Crime Division One as Zhan Se's personal assistant, she totally had no idea about it.
In her opinion, people who worked as web novelists were unemployed people.
That was why she behaved in a more superior manner before Xiang Wan although she was actually not proud of what they had assigned her to do.
The contempt that came from the sense of superiority felt like knives—
A pity though, from Xiang Wan's expression, there was no sign that she had suffered a blow.
”Actually, I envy these unemployed girls who could live by depending on men.”
Xiang Wan smiled while she said that. She said seriously while looking at Cheng Xin's dumbfounded expression.
”A pity that my life is certainly tough as I need to work.”
Work?
Cheng Xin did not get why Xiang Wan was smiling so happily. The next moment, Ding Yifan arrived.
”Teacher Xiang…”
This form of address was more formal in public.
”Please follow me, your office is over there—”
”Alright, thank you!” Xiang Wan then turned to wave at Cheng Xin. ”Officer Cheng, see you later.”
Cheng Xin looked at her, dumbfounded at what was happening.
It was as if one could see the cracks forming in her frozen expression.
She was like a beautiful flower that withered rapidly in the wind…
…
