Sheng Xia almost wanted to give up. It was hard for her to stay calm when she met an idiot. She couldn't understand how someone with this level of skill could be employed by the company. Was her biological father blind?
Wang Qin, the man before Sheng Xia, looked arrogant when he stared at her. In his eyes, the Cheng Family was truly kind. How could they adopt such a big girl, and she even looked so ordinary? If one looked closely, this girl appeared like a country bumpkin who didn't know about the world. Wang Qin truly didn't understand. What kind of charity was this?
Wang Qin pointed at a table in the corner of the room. "From now on, this will be your cubicle, and in the future, try to make yourself useful. After all, we don't need useless people here."
After showing another show of disdain, Wang Qin went back to his desk. Sheng Xia looked around his cubicle, and some pairs of eyes stole a curious glance at her, wondering where she came from. Sheng Xia sat on her chair that creaked when being sat. Sheng Xia almost wanted to throw the damn chair because of the discomfort.
A few minutes later, Wang Qin gave her a task that almost made her go ballistic. What the heck is wrong with that, Wang Qin? Giving a manager-level job to a newcomer? Sheng Xia began to wonder how this company stayed afloat.
These past few days, Sheng Xia still hadn't encountered any of the Cheng Family members. After that confrontation in the living room, Madam Cheng hadn't been in the villa. She also had yet to meet the beloved daughter, Cheng An, or her younger half-brother, Cheng Zhen. That's interesting.
By break time, Sheng Xia still hadn't decided how to handle the task. After all, if she completed it perfectly, it would put her at risk. While doing badly would make her useless. Sheng Xia looked around, trying to find someone so she could ask where the cafeteria was, but everyone avoided her.
Everyone's appearance looked like a normal worker, with their clothes being sophisticated. But when you looked at her, she looked so out of place. She wore a brown sweater and a cream maxi skirt. Her messy hair and thick glasses added to the weirdness of it all.
Yep, she really was out of place.
And Sheng Xia couldn't believe that after all these days, the Cheng Family hadn't given her any new clothes. They only provide her with food at home and a job in the company. Seriously, were they this ignorant of her? Did her biological father even try to acknowledge her?
Sheng Xia stood up from her uncomfortable chair and messaged the butler instead for the cafeteria location. Three minutes later, the butler replied. She stepped into the elevator that was almost filled with people. Felt uncomfortable because she rarely rode an elevator that was packed with people.
After enduring the elevator, Sheng Xia finally arrived at the cafeteria. She queued at the noodle section. When she got her bowl of noodles, she spotted a table with no one on it. She just put her tray but a collective gasp rang out around her.
Sheng Xia started to feel that the problem was coming at her.
Sure enough, one of the male employees close to her spoke out. "Don't you know that table is reserved for Young Miss An?"
Sheng Xia frowned.
He assumed that maybe she didn't know who Young Miss An is, so he elaborated. "Young Miss An is the daughter of the TongCheng Enterprise's chairman. I advise you not to sit at that table."
Sheng Xia's eyelids twitched. What, she didn't know there was that kind of thing in this company?
Wow. She was speechless.
Before Sheng Xia uttered any response, a soft voice of a young woman rang out.
"It's fine. She is my newly adopted sister. She can sit at the table."
Sure enough, instantly, a lot of people gasp and whispers can be heard, turning the cafeteria like a house full of bees.
Sheng Xia turned her head and finally saw the famous beloved daughter of the Cheng Family, Cheng An. She was indeed pretty, looked soft and sweet. Like a 'first love' kind of girl. Her outfit screamed luxury. The jewelry on her also shone brightly. Sheng Xia was amazed by how this young woman seemed sweet and naive, but her eyes were full of ambition. Interesting.
Cheng An walked to Sheng Xia with a sweet smile. But if you looked close enough, there was a glint of mockery in her eyes. "Sister, let's eat together?"
Sheng Xia stood awkwardly, and after a few seconds of silence, she nodded.
Cheng An smiled and sat across from Sheng Xia. Two followers of Cheng An sat on both Cheng An sides, looking like guardian dogs. Sheng Xia almost rolled her eyes.
Sheng Xia started to eat her food quietly, but this calmness was broken by Cheng An.
"How about your work? I am sorry that you were assigned to the bottom level. But I was there myself last year. I hope you understand that we didn't try to belittle you or anything," said Cheng An with a little pout, looking aggrieved while also delicate. She made it sound like Sheng Xia didn't satisfy being on the bottom level.
Sheng Xia's temple started to twitch. Wow, turned out this princess was a white lotus princess.
A young woman with blonde hair shouted from Cheng An's left side. "Cheng An! What are you talking about? She should be grateful that she has been adopted by your family so that she can enter this company. Not everyone can sign with this company. Cheng An, you are too kind."
Cheng An responded with a smile, shaking her head. "It's okay." She whispered.
The blonde young woman and the short-haired young woman beside Cheng An showed a distressed look, clearly playing their role well. Sheng Xia chewed her food, thoroughly entertained.
Wow, a free drama without paying anything? Nice!
After a very weird lunch, Sheng Xia left the cafeteria with a stomach full of melon. Those two followers of Cheng An spoke nonstop. They said that Cheng An has a fiancée from the Gu Family, a childhood sweetheart at that. They spoke a lot, acting like gossip hosts on a celebrity news show.
They also said that Cheng An was a college student of S University and also did an internship in the company as an advertisement department employee. Aside from that, Cheng An is also an internet celebrity who showed her wealthy life on the internet. She has a lot of fans because of her Baifumei identity.
Although Sheng Xia already knew some of that information, it still felt amazing when she heard it from them. It was like watching a show.
She is quite good, Sheng Xia thought. Too bad in this lifetime, they probably won't have any chance to befriend each other because of their circumstances.
Yep, yep. Too bad.
