Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Assistant of a Big Star

An Junxi hadn’t had dinner with her parents for several days. She said, "Mom, wait for me at the supermarket. I’ll come over and join you in grocery shopping."

She put down the phone and said to Gong Xiaoyu, "Senior, come home with me for dinner. My parents are always mentioning they’d like to meet you."

Gong Xiaoyu immediately turned around and headed towards Yuhua District.

She was about to agree when Yu Zheng called. She glanced at the screen, looking a bit conflicted, and didn’t answer right away.

"Why don’t you answer? Yu Zheng probably thought long and hard before calling you. Don’t be so cruel to him."

An Junxi helped her answer the call and put it on speaker. Yu Zheng asked, "Xiao Yu, have you had lunch yet?"

Gong Xiaoyu’s driving was a bit erratic. She said, "Not yet."

Yu Zheng said, "Let’s have lunch together. I’ll come pick you up. I have something I want to tell you."

Yu Zheng’s voice was clearly tense. An Junxi guessed, could Yu Zheng be planning to confess?

Great, how straightforward! I like this no-nonsense approach, totally a plus! Unlike Yue Xiaoyang, who beats around the bush with no certainty.

An Junxi’s scales tipped towards Yu Zheng’s side. Seeing her senior’s troubled expression, she pinched her and mouthed, "Go."

Gong Xiaoyu could only say, "You set the location, I’ll go by myself."

Yu Zheng was very excited: "Alright, I’ll send you the address soon. It’s near your company."

"Okay."

An Junxi hung up the phone and praised Yu Zheng: "I thought Yu Zheng was reserved in relationships. I didn’t expect him to be so proactive. He must really like you to be this direct."

Gong Xiaoyu hesitated: "I’ve been out with him a few times. He’s really thoughtful and considerate, but I don’t think I like him romantically."

An Junxi advised her: "Spend more time together. Maybe you’ll discover more of Yu Zheng’s good qualities? I asked Yi Ke about him, and he holds Yu Zheng in high regard. He’s a potential candidate for North China Region’s general manager. Both in terms of character and ability, Yu Zheng is impressive."

Gong Xiaoyu asked, "What if he confesses to me? He once saved me, so I might not be able to refuse."

"Saved you? What do you mean?"

Gong Xiaoyu slipped up. She couldn’t let Jun Xi know about the incident where she was almost assaulted by thugs. She covered it up: "No, I mean he took good care of me during the project investigation."

"Oh, I see," An Junxi was relieved, "When you meet later, see what he has to say and then decide."

"I guess that’s all I can do."

They chatted along the way, and soon, they arrived at the shopping mall beside Yuhua District. Before getting out of the car, An Junxi told her senior: "Good luck, I hope to hear good news from you!"

Gong Xiaoyu felt amused and helpless. It’s too early to talk about good news!

An Junxi went up to the second floor of the fresh supermarket where her mother said she’d be picking crabs.

She had just walked past a few seafood sections when the noisy crowd ahead caught her attention. A sharp and mean female voice said, "I clearly saw it first, why do you say you did? You’re just a poor countryside woman, what do you know about buying crabs? Can you afford it? Which house do you work for, buying groceries for your masters?" The voice was thick with disdain.

An Junxi felt unusually repulsed. Whose daughter is this, so uneducated, really embarrassing herself in public.

Then she heard a sincere voice say, "I already put the crabs in the basket... Fine, young lady, you can have them. I won’t argue with you."

An Junxi’s heart jolted. Was it her mother?

She quickly pushed through the crowd and went inside. The young woman wasn’t satisfied and shoved the woman in front, "What do you mean you won’t argue? Do I need to argue with you? How will you compensate for dirtying my shoes? Can you afford to?"

Mrs. An stumbled back a few steps, someone behind supported her, she gratefully turned and said, "Thank you... Xi Xi?"

An Junxi suppressed her anger, looked her mother over from head to toe, and worriedly asked, "Mom, are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, it was just a minor argument, nothing serious."

"It’s not nothing. She bullied you, I’ll take care of her!" An Junxi coldly stared at the arrogant woman, her eyes fierce.

Mrs. An saw her daughter was really angry and held her hand, saying, "Xi Xi, let it go. I’m fine."

"No way. If no one teaches her a lesson, she’ll think she can walk around bossing everyone all the time!"

The woman heard their conversation and condescendingly crossed her arms, saying, "Teach me a lesson? Who do you think you are? You’re the daughter of this old woman, right? Perfect timing. She dirtied my shoes; those are CHANEL shoes. Your two months’ salary wouldn’t be enough to pay for them!" Her face was full of contempt.

Her casual glance at An Junxi, her expression suddenly changed a bit strange. She walked closer to look at An Junxi’s clothes and shoes, incredulously said, "Are these Kuang Yuan Studio’s fashion brands and Roger Vivier’s latest season shoes?"

Impossible, no one knows these brands better than me. Kuang Yuan Studio’s clothes aren’t just for the wealthy. Even Miss Han Jiayi couldn’t get a piece after several attempts. Who is this woman?

She looked seriously at An Junxi’s face again. This woman did seem somewhat familiar. But I usually only focus on various brand products, couldn’t remember where I saw her.

An Junxi saw her keep staring at her clothes and shoes, sarcastically said, "So, do you think I can’t compensate for your outdated discounted shoes?"

She saw the shoes were just splashed with some water stains. Wiping them would do the trick, no need to mention compensation. If even such things need compensation, better keep the shoes at home as a shrine rather than wearing them out.

This person is either particularly short on money or intentionally difficult.

The woman’s face turned green and red. She shifted focus to the crabs: "These crabs, I clearly saw them first. Your mom put them in the basket. They’re meant for Miss Han Jiayi. She’s a star; you can’t compare with her!"

An Junxi took out her phone and snapped a picture of her: "A star, huh? So you’re the assistant to a star? Tell me which star. I really want her fans to see how she not only has a big ego, but her assistant is even worse, bullying elderly people. Does such a star deserve to be a role model?"

The woman screamed, covering her face with both hands. She left the crabs behind and addressed An Junxi: "You’re something else!" She threw out some harsh words and walked away cursing.

An Junxi sneered. She thought she was tough but left before I even started recording.

Feeling somewhat sorry for that star with a surname Han, having such an assistant just brings trouble; their public image is likely to crumble soon.

An Junxi couldn’t be in a better mood. "Mom, let’s go home and eat crabs!"
