Pei Xin wiped her hands with her clothes before shaking hands with Jiang Yuan.
âHello, Iâm Pei Xin.â
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, âYou donât have to be so nervous. 1 must admit 1 heard things about you, but I never believed in gossip. 1 like to judge a personâs character by interacting with them myself.
âTo be honest, I was the one who provided feedback on the information you checked these two days. I found that you did your work meticulously and seriously. Youâre not like what they said. They said you got the assistant position through connections.â
Pei Xinâs eyes lit up. This was the first time she had been acknowledged since she entered the company.
âThank you for your approval.â Pei Xin said sincerely. âYouâre the first one whoâs willing to have a meal with me in the two days Iâve been in the company,â she said in embarrassment.
Pei Xin thought for a while and advised, âMaybe you can consider sitting somewhere else? My current situation in the company is quite awkward. 1 donât mix well with the others.
â Although they cause trouble openly because of Li Zeâs orders, 1 know that they still think that 1 relied on my connections to get to the top. If you eat with me, they will hate you too.â
Jiang Yuan looked at Pei Xin in surprise.
She did not expect Pei Xin to still be thinking about her at this time.
Jiang Yuanâs smile became more sincere. âI donât care about what the people in the company think of me. Even if 1 curry favor with them, what good will it bring? Theyâre not my leaders, so they canât promote me. Theyâre not my clients either. They canât bring me any benefits. Why should I care so much about their opinions? They are jealous of you because they are unwilling to accept your position. Itâs because they are not capable enough and narrow-minded.â
Pei Xinâs eyes lit up again.
If Li Ze and Chen Sheng were to tell her this, she would think that they were deliberately coaxing and comforting her.
However, it felt comforting coming from another female employee.
Pei Xin also became a lot more cheerful because she opened up and told Jiang Yuan about work.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan also secretly complained to Pei Xin about the scandals that some of the companyâs employees had done.
Pei Xin enjoyed the meal and the company.
After lunch, Jiang Yuan returned to her desk.
She called her sister, Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan quickly picked up.
âHow was it? Did you get to talk to her? Is she a scheming woman like the rumors say?â Jiang Yan asked.
âI think the rumors are a little inaccurate. She doesnât look like sheâs cunning. Sheâs kind on the inside. Everyone else thinks that Li Ze dotes on her. But now, as her colleague, I can safely say that she is being ostracized by all the employees.
âSheâs capable of handling matters without Li Ze there. She was the one who worked hard to find the information. After the others got it, they all slandered her behind her back, saying that Li Ze took care of her and took the initiative to share her burden.
âBut you and I both know that Li Ze has been busy with the new project for the past two days and has no time for such trivial matters. Therefore, it must be that Pei Xin completed all of this work by herself, but she never received any recognition.
âIf I were her, I would be so angry that 1 would smash the table and slap those female employees spreading rumors about me.â
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yan clenched the coffee cup in her hand.
She elegantly took a sip of coffee, her eyes flickering, making it difficult to read her emotions.
âEven if sheâs not as disgusting as the rumors say, Li Ze is my fiance. 1 donât feel at ease with a woman like her staying by Li Zeâs side and being his assistant.â
Jiang Yuan sighed.
She thought of Pei Xinâs sincere attitude and grateful smile, feeling a little reluctant.
Jiang Yuan was Jiang Yanâs cousin.
She had been studying abroad.
When he heard that Li Ze had arranged for a young girl to be his assistant, Zhang Ying made a scene in the company, but Li Ze defended the female assistant.
Her cousin, Jiang Yan, could not accept the outcome. She used some means to arrange for her to come to Li Zeâs company as an ordinary employee to investigate the situation.
After she interacted with Pei Xin, Jiang Yuan realized that the rumors were not true.
If she wasnât Jiang Yanâs cousin and had no motive to get close to Pei Xin, she would have become very good friends with Pei Xin.
Pei Xin was so happy to finally have some company.. However, if she found out in the end that it was all a scheme, how sad would she be?
