Tang Mei felt like crying. She immediately got on her knees and begged" My little ancestor, please, Glimmer Light is the best company to work for. There are many benefits to working here. You will not regret your choice if you choose Glimmer Light. Please don't go anywhere else. No other company can grace you and your talents like we can. Please, please accept the job Glimmer Light Fashion Company has to offer as well as my sincerest apologies for my earlier rude behavior or else I will lose my job!"
Aang Jiang, who was reveling in the praise she was getting from Tang Mei, got shocked when she heard Tang Mei would lose her job because of her. It had to be said that although Tang Mei was arrogant, she was very good at her work. Who exactly valued her that much to be willing to lose Tang Mei. However, Aang Jiang's shock was short lived. It was instantly replaced with endless abundance of joy.
She actually found herself a job, all by herself! (Completely forgetting there was an anonymous backer)
Aang Jiang coming back to her senses realized that there was still a certain manager kneeling in front of her. She unhurriedly helped Tang Mei to her feet. Putting on her signature smile, she said "Manager Tang. You are still a manager. You should not be seen kneeling in front of a newbie like me."
"Does that mean you have accepted our job offer?" was Tang Mei's immediate question to Aang Jiang. "Yes. Due to your relentless persuasion in your pursuit of me, I have accepted your offer." This response was like an angel's bell of salvation to Tang Mei's ears. She did not know what was so special about Aang Jiang for her job to be on the line. But it did not matter since she would not have to lose her job. However, she made a mental note to treat Aang Jiang well.
"Thank you for accepting our offer. Then, you can go home and pack your clothes. You are starting work tomorrow, then after, I will show you your new home." Tang Mei said respectfully.
"Home?" Aang Jiang asked confused. She had never heard of employees getting homes for working at Glimmer Light!
"Yes. This is one of the benefits of working for this company. Everyone working for Glimmer Light is given an apartment or house near the company to live in so that the company can keep an eye on the employees and they do not use traffic as an excuse for lateness." Tang Mei explained.
"Wow, I have never heard of such benefits. That is nice. Then, I will get going. See you tomorrow. Ah, wait. When does working hours begin and end?" Aang Jiang asked.
"Working hours begin at 7:30am sharp and ends at 5:00pm usually." Tang Mei said
"Thank you. Bye." With a smile and wave of her hand to the manager, Aang Jiang left the company. Aang Jiang happily skipped to the bus stop and got on a bus home.
.....
At the Aang Family Residence.
"Dad, actually, I know sister will get the job of her dreams. She is really capable." Aang Xue, Aang Jiang's little sister, coaxed her father.
"Capable? Do you call breaking plates while washing, drawing like a kindergartener, singing like the devil, or burning the pot while cooking, capabilities? Please do not insult the professionals. You are too positive about everything. If only she was smart and capable as you, Xuexue, then I would not have to worry about her. She won't even listen to my advice and marry the Songs." Aang Yu berated.
" The Song family are a very prestigious and respectable family in the capital. If only... if only your sister will agree, then our family can also rise through the ranks of society." Aang Bang, agreeing with her husband, added sorrowfully.
Aang Xue, originally sitting with her father, got up to her mother side. She put her arm around her mother in an effort to comfort her. Looking at her parents who looked like they had all the world's problems on their shoulders, she decided to give her suggestion. "If sister does not agree, let's not bother her anymore. I can take her place. I am sure the Song family would not mind which daughter..."
Aang Xue's sentence did not end but it was rejected by both parents. How could they allow their little baby girl to marry that Song bastard infamous for his womanizing behavior. They would never forgive themselves.
"But, mom and dad, we have no other solution. Do not worry, I am willing...." " Wow! Aang Xue, I now know why you chose to work at the entertainment industry. You discovered your talent earlier. But I must still commend your acting skills. They are A plus."
Aang Jiang, who had arrived home earlier, could not help barging in with an applause when she heard her little sister. She knew Aang Xue was cute and had an angelic appearance. Her white smooth skin and skinny appearance made her look vulnerable. She had a face free of the world's problems and a sweet melodious voice to top it all up.
Her face always ticked Aang Jiang off because it hid the ugly thinking and personality of Aang Xue.
Aang Xue broke the now tensed and quiet room due to Aang Jiang's appearance. "Sister! You are home."
"Of course, else I would have missed the scene you shooting here in the living room" Aang Jiang said sarcastically.
"Sister, you must be tired. Why don't I help you to your room. Here, let me carry your bag for you" Aang Xue got close to Aang Jiang and attempted to take Aang Jiang bag from her. However, Aang Jiang pushed her away and distanced herself a little from Aang Xue. "Do stay away from me. My bag has no business in your hands. If you want money, ask your precious parents."
Then holding her nose, she continued "What perfume do you use. It is so strong and yet stings at the same time. Maybe, it is because you are the one using it. Ugh, get away" Aang Jiang assumed a shooing posture while holding her nose.
Her statement flushed Aang Xue's face with embarrassment. And like a bunny, she run to her mother's side.
Aang Yu could not take it anymore seeing Aang Jiang's attitude towards Aang Xue. He stood up and shouted" Aang Jiang, how dare you! What kind of attitude is that to your little sister? Apologize immediately."
"No". How could Aang Jiang forget. Her parents were very biased toward her when it came to Aang Xue. They loved Aang Xue to the core and will do anything for her. However, she has gotten used this that this showy display no longer affected her emotions at all.
Aang Jiang walked to the farthest sofa and sat down. Amuse was written all over her face when she faced her parents and little sister again. Her family was really full of scumbags.
"No? Fine, then you will marry Song Tang with no complaint. You owe your sister that much as an apology. What are you looking at? We are not clowns at a show. I am talking to you." Aang Yu screamed in anger.
Without uttering a single word, Aang Jiang rose from the sofa. She went straight to her room to pack. When she was done, it was still afternoon so she went downstairs to eat lunch. The moment Aang Jiang reached the dining table, as if automatic, Aang Yu began to berate her. Aang Jiang knew she would not be able to enjoy her lunch, so she left the house.
Nothing unusual happened for the rest of the day.
