(These chapters are about the ex-goddess, so feel free to skip.)
On the phone,
Liu Ruyan certainly wouldn't tell the whole truth. Instead, she would minimize the details and even fabricate lies to suit her own interests.
But!
Even if she did,
Manager Wang, after hearing her description, simply said, "Since Manager Li asked you to resign in HR, then go ahead and resign."
With that, he hung up.
She's just a university beauty... Those in engineering have no shortage of resources other than beautiful women of that caliber!
At the upscale shopping mall, beautiful women of that caliber line up for you to choose from.
Is your beauty your asset? But at the upscale mall, beauty is just a barrier to meeting him!
He simply wanted to get Liu Ruyan because she was still a university student and her youthful inexperience was what attracted him.
But going against Manager Li simply because of such a woman was a mistake. He clearly understood the difference between a woman and his career.
In fact, he didn't care what had really happened with Liu Ruyan. He didn't even want to know. Since Manager Li had personally told her to leave, then she should just leave the company!
But Liu Ruyan didn't understand that!
She had foolishly assumed that Manager Wang would speak up for her and back her up.
But she hadn't expected such a frivolous response.
After hearing the beep of the phone being hung up, she still held onto her hopes and slammed the phone twice.
She even tried to call again, but Manager Wang refused to answer!
After hearing the words "The number you've dialed..."
Liu Ruyan was completely stunned!
In an instant, her strength drained from her... She slumped weakly into a chair.
She couldn't understand. She truly couldn't understand.
How had Qin Feng, who couldn't even pay off his loan, transformed himself into a man driving a Mercedes worth over a million yuan and negotiating a partnership with Manager Li of their company? She couldn't figure it out. Why had Manager Wang, who had once been so warm and caring towards her, suddenly become so cold and indifferent to her, not caring whether she lived or died... She couldn't understand.
She could understand people changing drastically,
but she couldn't understand how such a dramatic change, and so sudden, could happen.
"Ding~ Ding~ Ding~ Ding~"
A Penguin message chime rang through her phone; it was from her best friend.
She opened her phone, her eyes vacant, like a machine, and read the new message from her best friend.
…Still complaining about Qin Feng:
"My dear, I've told you before, you should have stayed away from people like Qin Feng! Although he seems generous and attentive to you, he..."
Then there was a barrage of negative comments about Qin Feng.
"If you had stayed away from him earlier, you wouldn't be in this situation now, would you?! He wouldn't have chased you to the company."
"By the way, is he gone?"
"If he keeps pestering you, just have your company's security kick him out."
It seemed like the words were all for Liu Ruyan's own good,
But in reality, as Liu Ruyan's best friend posted these messages, she was internally complaining:
"Qin Feng used to give you that phone and that bag worth tens of thousands of dollars, and I've been fed up with it for a long time!" '
'And Qin Feng is easily manipulated. Just say a few nice words to him when he's about to give up, and he'll immediately be motivated to lick my boots again.'
'Why do you have a licker like that, but I don't?!'
'I've been wanting you to stay away from him forever, and now you've finally done it.'
'If only I had a licker like that who'd rather take out a loan than buy me gifts!'
'Even if I get a call demanding a loan, it doesn't matter... as long as the licker keeps buying me gifts.'
Liu Ruyan had no idea what her best friend was really thinking.
She thought she was genuinely thinking about her and doing what was best for her.
She typed back weakly:
"Wrong!"
"We were all wrong!"
"Qin Feng isn't a poor kid!"
"He's very rich!"
"He drives a Mercedes-Benz S worth over a million yuan! And he's actually here to discuss a project with Manager Li!"
Her best friend was stunned by the news.
Huh?!
Is Liu Ruyan really going to have a good life? Liu Ruyan's bootlicker is so powerful! If she agreed to Qin Feng's advances, wouldn't she have immediately enjoyed a good life? She was so anxious that she didn't even bother asking on Penguin.
Instead, he called directly.
His first words were:
"What's going on?"
"Have you agreed to Qin Feng's pursuit?!"
Liu Ruyan shook her head, lost in thought.
"No... His current attitude really annoys me."
"I'm now suspecting that this morning's loan collection call was a test from Qin Feng, someone he had sent to me specifically."
"If I had treated him differently, perhaps everything would have been different."
Liu Ruyan was now filled with regret.
If she had known Qin Feng was so capable, she would have agreed to his pursuit long ago.
Isn't this a typical rich second-generation?!
But now it was too late; she had missed the chance to become a wealthy wife.
Hearing this, her best friend breathed a sigh of relief, her heart sinking with relief.
What a close call!
You could have had a good life!
She then asked Liu Ruyan what had happened.
This time, Liu Ruyan recounted the entire incident in detail, without any fabrications. After hearing this, her best friend rubbed her chin and said, "From your description, that Mercedes-Benz S worth over a million yuan really should be his."
Liu Ruyan nodded absentmindedly.
"Yes, Qin Feng's attitude just now was truly assertive and confident. I've never seen Qin Feng so assertive before."
"Honestly, if Qin Feng had been this assertive and confident before, I might have been attracted to him. After all, he's quite handsome..."
The best friend quickly interrupted, saying, "Are you saying you want to be with Qin Feng now?"
Liu Ruyan nodded.
"Yes, after all, not only is Qin Feng's demeanor completely different now, he's also so wealthy..."
"If Qin Feng continued to pursue me now, I would definitely agree immediately."
"But, his attitude towards me at the end really annoyed me."
"Didn't I tell you how awful he said to me?"
"So, how could he possibly continue pursuing me?"
Her best friend shook her head.
"I don't think there's a complete lack of chance."
"Aren't you still at the company?"
"Well, wait for me. I'll buy a bucket of paint and come find you."
Liu Ruyan was puzzled.
"What for?"
"To write 'scumbag' on his car!"
"That's how it's played out in idol dramas. Women paint the cars of rich, handsome men..."
