Chapter 650: 139: Dream shattered_6

As she finished speaking, An Yuanyuan turned to look at Qiao Ran, "Son, you can’t just eat things of unknown origin!"

It could be deadly!

Qiao Dongliang nodded, "Your mom is right, what if there’s a problem after eating it? Who would be responsible?"

Qiao Ran took the small porcelain bottle from his father’s hand and smiled, "It’s okay, my classmate is a very good and trustworthy person. She wouldn’t deceive me."

He believed in Lin Wu.

Since Lin Wu said this medicine could cure his cough and insomnia, then it surely would!

Qiao Dongliang continued, "What’s your classmate’s name? Does anyone in her family practice medicine? Is she really that reliable?"

After all, safety is no trivial matter.

Qiao Ran responded, "There should be, in any case, she’s really amazing. Dad, don’t ask so many questions, I know what I’m doing."

Qiao Dongliang frowned slightly, his eyes filled with concern.

After dinner, Qiao Ran went back upstairs to wash up.

Before going to bed, Qiao Ran opened the small porcelain bottle and poured out a small pill.

The pill didn’t have any unpleasant smell.

Qiao Ran took it down with water in one gulp.

After swallowing the pill, Qiao Ran went to bed.

He had thought that the pill would take effect as soon as he consumed it, but after tossing and turning for a long time, Qiao Ran still couldn’t fall asleep.

There he lay with his eyes closed, his mind drifting from one thought to another until his consciousness slowly blurred, and he fell asleep without even realizing when.

The next morning.

Today was also the day Lin Guimei had agreed to meet with Gu Shufen to sign the contract at the Beauty Chant headquarters.

Although Lin Guimei had already signed the contract, the Beauty Chant side had not yet signed and sealed it.

Therefore, the contract was not effective temporarily.

Lin Guimei needed to personally visit the HR department and complete the employment procedures.

Thinking that she would be able to work at the Beauty Chant branch the next day, Lin Guimei was very excited.

To make a good impression on the Beauty Chant HR department, Lin Guimei deliberately wore her most expensive outfit.

She put on luxury jewelry.

A purse worth thirty thousand.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Mingzhu Building.

Mingzhu Building was a landmark construction of Qing City, a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. The monthly rent for just one office space had already reached more than 20,000. Beauty Chant went ahead and extravagantly rented an entire floor, evidence of Beauty Chant’s strength.

Lin Guimei parked the car and looked up at Mingzhu Building, the corners of her mouth curving slightly.

Just wait.

One day, she would move up from the position of store manager at Beauty Chant, directly to the headquarters, to become the general manager there.

She had heard it from Gu Shufen.

The boss of Beauty Chant appreciated talented people most.

She was so capable that she was sure to be noticed by the boss.

With this in mind, Lin Guimei was in high spirits as she walked towards the entrance of Mingzhu Building.

She had arranged to meet Gu Shufen at nine o’clock in the morning.

It was only eight thirty now.

So, Lin Guimei was not in a hurry, walking slowly, inspecting every person coming and going from Mingzhu Building.

Mingzhu Building was indeed the CPD of Qing City.

Originally full of confidence in her branded attire, Lin Guimei now felt a sense of inferiority after seeing the aura of the powerful women coming and going, wearing designer clothes of their own.

Her carefully crafted appearance, wearing her best clothes, didn’t even compare to these women’s everyday outfits.

But Lin Guimei quickly regained her confidence.

After all.

She was about to become one of those powerful women herself.

And then she too could dress in the most beautiful clothes and carry the most expensive bags!

Entering the lobby on the first floor, Lin Guimei suddenly noticed a familiar figure in front of her.

Her full black hair was meticulously coiffed.

She wore a black suit, with seven or eight centimeter heels, her footsteps clicking authoritatively as she walked.

She emanated a powerful presence.

This was...

Lin Guixiang?

No!

Impossible!

What qualification does Lin Guixiang have to appear in such a high-end place?

Could it be that she’s also here for the Beauty Chant interview?

Lin Guimei narrowed her eyes and quickened her pace to follow.

She wanted to see if that person was indeed Lin Guixiang.

When she saw the other person’s face, Lin Guimei was stunned.

It was actually Lin Guixiang.

She snorted, "Lin Guixiang!"

Lin Guixiang stopped in her tracks and looked back slightly, her gaze falling on Lin Guimei.

Lin Guimei continued, "What are you doing here?"

At that, Lin Guixiang didn’t answer Lin Guimei’s question but instead said, "Are you here to complete the onboarding procedures for Beauty Chant?"

Lin Guimei puffed out her chest, confident that Lin Guixiang must be very envious of her, and said with a face full of pride, "Yes, I’ve actually already signed the contract, now I just need to go through a process!"

After speaking, Lin Guimei scrutinized Lin Guixiang with a look of disdain, "You’re not seriously thinking about interviewing at Beauty Chant dressed like that, are you?"

At this point, Lin Guimei snorted coldly, "With neither the demeanor nor the education, a total illiterate like you, even if you don a dragon robe, you won’t look like a prince! You’re completely misjudging yourself. As if Beauty Chant would hire someone like you."

With a faint smile, Lin Guixiang replied, "Lin Guimei, the wicked will meet their fate, don’t be too pleased with yourself too soon."

With those words, Lin Guixiang turned and walked ahead.

Directly in front was the elevator leading straight to the eighth floor, but Lin Guixiang didn’t take the elevator and instead headed in a different direction.

Lin Guimei watched her departing figure with a slight frown. Could it be that Lin Guixiang isn’t going to Beauty Chant?

Does Lin Guixiang have another job in the Mingzhu Building?

But what kind of glamorous job could someone like Lin Guixiang find, really?

She isn’t here to fish for men, is she?

After all, the men who appear in the Mingzhu Building are all industry elites.

Yes.

That must be it.

Lin Guixiang should think twice if she expects the men working at the Mingzhu Building to take a fancy to a woman without culture, refinement, or depth like her.

What a daydream!

Someone like Lin Guixiang wouldn’t even qualify to offer herself as a servant!

Luckily, she’s no longer associated with Lin Guixiang now.

Otherwise, she’d have lost all face because of Lin Guixiang!

In a short while, Lin Guimei arrived on the eighth floor.

Upon reaching the eighth floor, one could see the Beauty Chant logo.

It was very imposing.

Gu Shufen was standing at the entrance waiting for her.

Seeing Lin Guimei, she immediately went over, "Gui Mei has arrived."

"Hmm." Lin Guimei nodded her head and smiled, "Shufen, have you been waiting long?"

"No, I’ve just arrived too! Come on, I’ll take you inside!"

Beauty Chant had restricted access, requiring facial recognition to enter, and Lin Guimei followed Gu Shufen’s footsteps.

As they walked, Gu Shufen introduced the company’s departmental divisions to Lin Guimei.

"This is the planning department, and over there is the publicity department."

Lin Guimei followed Gu Shufen, continuously observing the internal environment of Beauty Chant, thinking to herself how large the company was!

Soon, they reached the HR department’s office.

The office wasn’t large.

Seven or eight people were seated inside, busy with their work.

Gu Shufen brought Lin Guimei to a separate workstation and said with a smile, "Sister Wang, this is Lin Guimei from Eastern Suburbs District, the new store manager I told you about. I’ve come today to help her with the onboarding procedures."

Sister Wang appeared to be a very shrewd person, with thick glasses. Hearing Gu Shufen’s voice, she looked up at Lin Guimei, appraising her with her gaze.

Lin Guimei, shrewd herself, sensed that Sister Wang wasn’t just a regular employee, at least a department head, and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Sister Wang, hello."

Sister Wang did not engage in small talk, her demeanor all business, "Give me your ID card."

Lin Guimei took out her ID card from her bag and handed it to Sister Wang with both hands.

Sister Wang took the ID card, entered Lin Guimei’s ID number into the company’s internal system, then looked up at Gu Shufen, "Xiao Gu, I’m sorry! We can’t take this person in at Beauty Chant, so we cannot proceed with the onboarding."
