Chapter 132: A Swindler?

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: A Swindler?

Yu Lili stopped her movement and stood up, looking at Shao Qiqi with a slight frown. She hadn’t expected to encounter Shao Qiqi here.

"It’s me. What about it?"

"Ha!" Shao Qiqi didn’t reply to her but instead said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen, she’s a fraud. Don’t believe her."

She had thought the assistant Ye Zhenzhen had found was someone else, only to find out she was just a fraud.

Could Ye Zhenzhen actually take such a person as her assistant?

While Shao Qiqi looked down on her, her heart also began to race, feeling her opportunity had arrived.

Liu Rui asked, "You two know each other?"

Ye Zhenzhen sat on the sofa, her gaze filled with confusion as she looked toward Yu Lili. "What’s going on?"

That Yu Lili knew Shao Qiqi was indeed a bit of a surprise.

After glancing sideways at Shao Qiqi, Yu Lili smiled at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "It’s just a little matter, I don’t know her."

But Shao Qiqi wasn’t willing to let it go so easily. She asked with a smile, "Miss heiress, how come you’re out here working as an assistant?"

Liu Rui raised an eyebrow. Was this girl really a rich heiress?

It made sense—as someone dressed in designer labels, how could she possibly be working as an assistant? She must be out here gaining life experience.

Yu Lili looked at Ye Zhenzhen, not sure what she would think of her after hearing the words "miss heiress."

"Miss heiress" was actually a misunderstanding, and now she didn’t want to explain it to Ye Zhenzhen in front of Shao Qiqi.

"What, you’re not the heiress? Hmph, now that I’ve found out you’re working as an assistant, I’ll tell you this. If you’re smart, you’ll leave this place. I’ll keep your real identity a secret for now, but if you don’t go, don’t blame me for not being nice."

Seeing that Yu Lili remained silent, Shao Qiqi grew more and more triumphant as she spoke.

She thought that if she could just get rid of this woman, she could naturally become Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant.

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes brimmed with a slight smile as she looked at Yu Lili with a gentle gaze and remained silent.

The reason she hadn’t said anything was because she wanted to see how Yu Lili would handle this sudden situation.

If she couldn’t even deal with such a situation within the company, how could she follow her as an assistant in the future?

This was the way of their circle, filled with flattery and the pushing and pulling of social dynamics. If Shao Qiqi didn’t see her, Ye Zhenzhen, gaining popularity recently, she wouldn’t have been so eager to become her assistant.

She remembered that the previous host’s assistant had given a two-month notice of resignation, and at that time, Shao Qiqi was also in the company but showed no intention of wanting to work as her, the original host’s, assistant.

Now that she saw her popularity, she was quite skillful at seizing the opportunity.

Yu Lili saw that Ye Zhenzhen’s expression hadn’t changed and, not speaking up, she said to Shao Qiqi, "I’m working right now. If you must talk to me about something, let’s do it after I get off work."

On the way here, her mother had told her that she should stay calm in the face of any issues in front of Sister Zhenzhen, learn to be patient and steady, and not to cause trouble for Sister Zhenzhen.

She was not certain what kind of status this woman had in the company, but she was definitely not good news. She was holding back solely because she didn’t want to trouble Sister Zhenzhen.

This matter, she could deal with it after work.

"Sister Zhenzhen, look. She’s cowered. She’s just a fraud. Don’t believe her at all. She’s not any heiress; she’s just the daughter from an ordinary family," Shao Qiqi said.

At that moment, Shao Qiqi felt as if she had won, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.

Liu Rui looked at the two of them. Oh, it seemed there was some misunderstanding.

Ye Zhenzhen looked up, glancing at Shao Qiqi and said with a slight curve of her lips, "She never told me she was a heiress."

Shao Qiqi’s smug smile on her face froze, was Ye Zhenzhen implying that she didn’t believe her words?

Even though she knew that woman was a swindler, would Ye Zhenzhen still let her be her assistant?

Shao Qiqi shook her head, trying hard to win a chance for herself, "Sister Zhenzhen, she really is a swindler and is very good at deceiving others.

Once a swindler deceives someone for the first time, there will be a second time, maybe even the brand clothes she’s wearing are fake."

Yu Lili frowned, feeling that this woman was going too far. She couldn’t help but want to refute, but Ye Zhenzhen spoke before she could;

"Hmm, for you, she’s a swindler, but for me, she hasn’t deceived me.

Moreover, she knows she is working right now, and facing your malicious accusations, she has held back; she didn’t argue with you.

I’m looking for an assistant who can help with my life and work, not someone who can only create trouble for me all day long with their loud and disruptive behavior.

However, I would like to thank you for helping me test on the spot whether my new assistant is qualified."

Shao Qiqi’s face turned pale with Ye Zhenzhen’s words, she was dumbfounded and couldn’t say a word.

What was Ye Zhenzhen implying with her words?

Was she saying that Shao Qiqi was loud and troublesome, and if Qiqi became her assistant, she would undoubtedly be a troublemaker?

But there was no direct mention of her in those words, and if she defended herself against Ye Zhenzhen’s insinuations, wouldn’t she just be admitting that she was such a troublemaker?

Liu Rui gave Shao Qiqi a look, "Qiqi, let’s go out."

She saw that Shao Qiqi really wanted to be Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant, but her current behavior was too impulsive and inappropriate.

If Yu Lili was really a swindler, Shao Qiqi could have behaved more calmly, waited for her to leave, and then talked to her or Ye Zhenzhen privately.

By accusing Yu Lili of being a swindler in front of Ye Zhenzhen, wasn’t she essentially undermining Ye Zhenzhen to her face?

Shao Qiqi left the office reluctantly, feeling dissatisfied.

She had thought that Ye Zhenzhen had changed for the better recently, but it turned out that she was the same as before, unthinking and foolish, choosing such a swindler as an assistant.

She snorted, waiting for the day Ye Zhenzhen would beg her to become her assistant.

Inside the office.

Yu Lili smiled apologetically, thinking that Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t eaten yet, and hurriedly opened all the food containers, neatly arranging them in front of Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen, eat while it’s hot, it will get cold if you wait any longer."

Her issues were not important, she had to make sure Sister Zhenzhen had a hot meal first.

Liu Rui, attracted by the delicious aroma, came over and took a look at the dishes on the table, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "This is quite a feast!"

Gelatin and red dates soup, stir-fried celery with shrimp, stir-fried spinach, pan-fried cod, and a full box of washed strawberries, blueberries, and cherries.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Yu Lili, "Have you eaten yet? If not, let’s eat together."

Yu Lili waved her hand, "I ate already, Sister Zhenzhen, please enjoy."

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Liu Rui, "Let’s eat together."

Liu Rui, looking at these appetizing dishes, had been drooling already. Ye Zhenzhen didn’t even need to say anything; she would have started anyway.

She went to her desk to find a pair of extra chopsticks from a previous takeaway order, "Well, I won’t be shy then."

Ye Zhenzhen joked, "You could also choose to be polite."
