Chapter 28 - The Grass On His Head (2/2)
”This tea-green color looks good on you,” a female employee said looking at Yi Gougou's perfectly manicured and beautifully painted nails.
Yi Gougou gave a haughty smile, ”It was a gift from my cousin in States. It's from the limited edition of Clique Beauty. And that brand is exclusive to elite-class. Not just anyone can buy their products.”
Xiu rolled her eyes as she heard that from behind. That was a bit excessive praise for that cosmetic brand. But Xiu didn't bother mentioning it at all.
”Ms. Yi!” Hearing the voice of Xiu, the gossipy girls left Yi Gougou alone to deal with Xiu.
”Ms. Bai,” Yi Gougou's expressions shifted. From that haughty girl to an obedient employee, it didn't take much of a time. ”Are you looking for me for something?”
”I heard a lot of praise from Lu Jin. He said you're particularly a future bright star of our department.” As Xiu's words were heard, Lu Jin who was not far away almost choked on air. Why couldn't he recall saying all that? But then it clicked, tsk. tsk. This new girl was going down.
Yi Gougou, however, was basking in this praise. After all, this was the closest anyone got to getting praise from Bai Xiu. ”I'm just doing my job, Ms. Bai. I didn't realize Senior Lu liked my work this much.”
”That's very humble of you. I like that attitude.” Xiu sneered with contempt while Yi Gougou was still oblivious to her doom. ”So, I was wondering... There is an executives meeting in the morning, and we have some doc.u.ments that need to be translated. Would you be able to handle it?”
Yi Gougou's smile stiffened a bit as she replied, ”Of course, I can handle it.”
”Great!” With that, Xiu left a huge pile of doc.u.ments on her desk with a smile. Yi Gougou's expression turned grimmer as she noticed the bulk of files. ”Don't be late. The meeting is at 10 in the morning.”
While leaving, she turned to the intern on the desk beside Yi Gougou's and said, ”Mr. Qiao Liang, you'll be leaving with Lu Jin for the Qin City. Get ready in five.” Qiao Liang looked at Yi Gougou's pouting and felt reluctant but seeing Xiu's urging gaze, he moved fast.
”Hey, Ms. Witch!” Xiu glared at Lu Jin who was sticking too close for her liking. ”When I asked for an assistant for this trip, you said no one is free. Now, you're readily and happily sending an intern with me? Are you feeling all right?” Lu Jin was very familiar with Xiu's working. Even though he joined the company a year later than her, he was aware of her torturing manners. However, this translating doc.u.ments seemed too easy and too good to be true. What was this Heartless Witch planning?
”Don't tire the horses of your brain. They might graze upon all the grass that you've grown so tirelessly on your head by being idle.” Xiu's remark made his lips twitch in anger. She was calling him brainless. Did she have to have such an irritating and infuriating personality?
It was a pity that such a beautiful face had such a foul-mouthed beast behind it. It's an eye-opener for him.
”Stop scowling. Confiscate the phone of your intern. Don't let him out of sight.” Xiu warned with an indescribable look in her eyes.
”Fine, Ms. Witch!” Lu Jin replied and strutted away. ”Whatever you say, goes...”
