Chapter 413 - A Storm of Jealousy

Xiaoya leaves and doesn’t come back after quite a while. Xia Ning finishes the wine. She feels that it is almost time for her to go back to Aunt Zhou’s office.

She comes to help Aunt Zhou this time. She is also helping herself. She wants to fight back. Then, she has to make bigger achievements. And her husband will also feel prouder of her.

She can’t always rely on Yi Yunrui.

After she takes a few steps, Xia Ning glances at the time. She thinks that Aunt Zhou must almost finish her coffee. So, she makes another kettle of latte for her.

At the time, she hears some people talking. They are walking to her direction.

Soon, a woman arrives at the Tea Room. She has a hot body shape and looks attractive.

Xia Ning can’t help admiring that the entertainment company doesn’t lack of beautiful women, which can be seen everywhere.

Wait. The woman looks… familiar.

A while later, another woman comes in. She is at her thirties. She speaks when she comes in, “Lingling, General Manager Jiang told you to have a rest here to wait for his instructions. He is in the President Office now.”

The woman named Lingling hears her words. She responds in pleasure, “General Manager Jiang is awesome. Hum. I see.”

It is not easy for her to cling to him. If it works, it worth the sex she has had with Jiang Yongran all these days.

Lingling…Xia Ning thinks carefully. Her eyes suddenly brighten. She remembers. This is a new star named Huang Ling.

Huang Ling finds that there is someone else in the Tea Room. She glances at Xia Ning. Her coquettish eyes gleam dismissively. The woman doesn’t wear the uniform of Diwang Entertainment Company. She seems to be a competitor… No. If she is a new star supported by Diwang Company, why doesn’t she have an agent with her?

She is not an employee here or a new artist… Huang Ling glimpses the hot coffee in the coffee maker. She slightly screws her eyes, “Are you a new waitress in this Tea Room? When the coffee is ready, get me a cup of it.”

Xia Ning gently smiles. She doesn’t explain, but nods, “OK.”

Xia Ning pours a cup of coffee for Huang Ling and her agent respectively. Then, she is going to pour another cup and takes it to the President Office. But Huang Ling cries, “God. What damn coffee it is! It tastes terrible!”

Huang Ling pushes the coffee towards her agent, “Dump it.”

The agent responds and pours the coffee.

Xia Ning feels shocked. Can the coffee be so terrible? She takes a sip. It is not the top grade. But it tastes good.

Huang Ling is aware that Xia Ning doesn’t show any disgust for the coffee. She increases the disdain for her. Seemingly, this woman is from a poor family and has never tasted good coffee.

“Are you OK with the coffee?” Huang Ling lifts her eyebrows to ask.

Xia Ning nods, “It is OK for me.”

Huang Ling smiles dismissively, “You may drink it all.”

Xia Ning purses her lips and puts down the coffee. Then, she pours another one. She wants to take it to the President Office.

At the time, Xiaoya comes back. When she sees Huang Ling in the Tea Room, she darkens her face and says in a cold voice, “Miss Huang is here. Do you come to meet General Manager Jiang again?”

Huang Ling can’t fail to notice the unkind tone of Xiaoya. She straightens her body and says proudly, “Excuse me. Today, General Manager Jiang told me to come. He is in the President Office now. I will go there soon.”

Xiaoya’s eyes gleam with disgust. Xiaoya indifferently says, “I wonder how long you can keep fresh! There are a lot of beautiful women around General Manager Jiang. You’d better drop your idea.”

Xiaoya hits the point. Huang Ling is driven crazy, “Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think all women earn their positions by selling themselves as you do? You are cheap. Don’t throw that theory on me!”

“Who is cheap? Huang Ling, watch your words!”

They talk and talk back and start the quarrel. Xia Ning takes the coffee. She passes them and walks to the President Office.

“The coffee girl, wait!”

Someone yells behind. Xia Ning hesitates. She turns around and sees Xiaoya’s distorted face. She asks, “What’s wrong?”

“You are not taking this cheap coffee to President Zhou, aren’t you?” Xiaoya asks in disbelief.

Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Miss, what did you use to make the Blue Mountain coffee just now?”

Hearing this, Xiaoya feels embarrassed.

Zhou Mengyao seldom comes to Diwang. Every time, she comes all of a sudden. Today, there happened to be no coffee beans available. Under the urgent circumstance, she used some instant coffee instead…

Xiaoya turns a little pale. She walks in her high heel shoes to Xia Ning and takes the coffee from her. She pours that all into the rubbish bin, “Anyway, you can’t take this to President Zhou!”

Xia Ning feels helpless, “President Zhou’s coffee must have turned cold. Then, what should I take to her?”

Xiaoya thinks for a while. She looks at Xia Ning’s confused face and bursts into a rage. The girl has just arrived here for less than an hour. How dare she openly question her, especially in front of the bitch Huang Ling?

Xiaoya glimpses the ridicule on Huang Ling’s face. She feels embarrassed, “Aren’t you hired by President Zhou? Why do you ask me about this easy issue? You go to fix it by yourself! I warn you. Don’t take this cheap coffee inside.”

After she finishes her words, Xiaoya lifts her head and straightens her body. She glances at Huang Ling and goes directly towards the President Office.

“Shit!” Huang Ling says dismissively, “I wonder how many times she has taken the hidden rules. How dare she criticize others for that?”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes. For an instance, she feels that she can’t keep up with the pace of the society.

Hidden rules are seen everywhere!

Xia Ning goes back to the Tea Room. She opens the cupboard. To her great surprise, except for all kinds of fine wine, there is nothing in the whole Tea Room suitable to be served to visitors!

What if the visitors are distinguished guests?

As a senior secretary, Xiaoya totally fails her duty!

Wait!

There is nothing available here. What is that Aunt Zhou is drinking?

Huang Ling notices the expression on Xia Ning’s face. She can guess what Xia Ning is thinking about. She says dismissively, “Xiaoya only knows how to work with her body. Who doesn’t know that she is someone’s mistress? Except amusing men, what else can she do?”

Xia Ning glances at Huang Ling. She doesn’t think that there is any difference between Huang Ling and Xiaoya.

The problem is… how long has Xiaoya stayed in Aunt Zhou’s company? Doesn’t Aunt Zhou know anything about her?

Aunt Zhou is smart. She finds out everything. It is impossible that she doesn’t know that! But if she knows, why does she keep Xiaoya in the company till now

There must be some reasons.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning asks casually, “Miss Huang. You sing very well. I feel surprised to meet you here. I feel it quite an honor.”

Huang Ling lifts her eyebrows. It turns out that this woman is her fan.

She opens her mouth but stops the words at the tip of her tongue. She wonders whether Xia Ning is fawning on her.

Ha. The woman wants to win her favor in this way? She wants to earn anything by making use of her? She is out of her mind!

Huang Ling darkens her face. She turns to her agent, “Mei, you may give her a disc, the one with my signature on it.”

“OK.” Mei responds. She takes out a disc from the big bag and passes it to Xia Ning, “There are only a few discs with Ling’s signature on it. Many fans tried very hard but still failed to get any. You are lucky today.”

Xia Ning glances at the contrived photo on the cover and feels a little disgusted. It is right. She heard Huang Ling sing. When she just came to the industry, her songs were fresh and comfortable. But later on, her songs totally changed to another style. Sometimes, Xia Ning feels sick to hear her songs. By looking at the cover, she can imagine the style of the songs in the disc.

As a woman, she cannot bear to hear songs like that.

Anyway, it is a gift. It is impolite to refuse it on the sender’s face.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning takes over the disc and says, “Thank you.”

At the time, Xiaoya comes to them from the President Office. She reluctantly says to Huang Ling, “The president wants to meet you. Please go in.”

Huang Ling realizes that the chance comes. She is glad. She arrogantly glances at Xiaoya and twitches her hips to walk to the President Office.

Xiaoya is just going to turn to go inside. She finds that Xia Ning still has nothing in her hand. She feels surprised, “Are you going to enter the President Office with empty hands?”

Xia Ning helplessly responds, “There is nothing here. I can’t take a cup of wine for President Zhou, can I?”

Xiaoya twitches her lips, “Since you think in this way, I can do nothing. It is none of my business if President Zhou blames you for that later. Go in with me.”

When Xia Ning comes back to the President Office, there are two other people inside: Jiang Yongran and Huang Ling.

Jiang Yongran sees Xia Ning. He turns pale! He wonders why this woman shows up here.

Huang Ling is excited, while Zhou Mengyao looks serious. When she sees Xia Ning, she puts on a smile, “Ning, Ya said that you would bring me a new drink. What is it?”

Hearing this, Xia Ning glances at Xiaoya. They have just met while Xiaoya sets a trap for her at once!

That is good.

“Aunt Zhou, I was thinking of making a cup of coffee for you. But Secretary Xiaoya dumped the coffee. She said that it was too cheap. Then, I found nothing in the Tea Room except for some wine. I thought for a while and didn’t think that I could bring you a cup of wine. After all, it is work time and I don’t know how to make the wine.”

Hearing this, Xiaoya turns pale at once. How dare the woman talk so frankly?

Zhou Mengyao freezes her eyes. She turns to Xiaoya, “There is only wine in the Tea Room?”

Hearing Zhou Mengyao’s question, Xiaoya is speechless. She turns to Jiang Yongran and asks for help with her eyes.

Jiang Yongran secretly scolds her in his heart. If he says anything at this moment, isn’t he admitting that he has an affair with Xiaoya?

If Xia Ning is not here, he can change the subject. The problem is that Xia Ning is here. It means that Zhou Mengyao comes with preparation. At this critical moment, what he can do is to look after himself first.

So, Jing Yongran turns his face away and doesn’t look at Xiaoya.

Not expecting that Jiang Yongran will ignore her, Xiaoya feels shocked all of a sudden.

In the past, no matter what happened, Jiang Yongran always defended her. What’s wrong with him today?
