Chapter 691 - 701 Follow-up (13)
"What nonsense are you spouting! Apologize to Aunt Xu immediately." Qiao Mo frowned, afraid that Li Yan would anger Aunt Xu."What, am I not allowed to speak? I know the great Designer Qiao has some background, but the company has its rules. It prohibits those with familial connections from making a scene here. Moreover, your ’aunt’ spent the entire afternoon in your office. It’s only your first day, and you’re already slacking off. Isn’t this treatment too much?"
Jealousy flashed intensely in Li Yan’s eyes.
Yes, she was jealous.
Even though Qiao Mo had never offended her, she was still jealous of Qiao Mo.
Just like Qiao Mo, she was also an illegitimate child of a family. Ironically, the Li family went bankrupt shortly after the Qiao family did.
Yet, with similar circumstances, their lives turned out completely different.
She had been overlooked at home since childhood, but Qiao Mo was doted on by Qiao Dehou and became the famous second young lady in Jiang City.
Even her love life was rocky, yet Fu Nancheng, that godlike man, doted on Qiao Mo endlessly. She was unwilling to accept this, why?
Moreover, she recently heard that the Li family’s bankruptcy was somehow related to the Qiao family, so how could she not dislike this woman!
"It seems Miss Li spent the entire afternoon monitoring me. I’m curious how much work you completed this afternoon." Qiao Mo replied calmly.
She was not afraid of people causing trouble, as she had grown accustomed to it. No matter where, there would always be someone who couldn’t stand her.
Her only concern was Aunt Xu Wan.
"What’s going on here?" A deep voice interrupted their conversation.
Louis approached with two managers, his brow slightly furrowed.
Seeing Louis, Li Yan grew a bit nervous.
But she had thought it over; the company indeed had clear rules against nepotism and inefficiency was even more taboo.
After all, with such great benefits and salary offered by the company, it wasn’t for people to loaf around.
Thinking this way, Li Yan felt more confident.
She had already offended Qiao Mo, so why not seize this opportunity to ruin her reputation? Even if she couldn’t drive Qiao Mo out of the company this time, at least she could rally others to isolate her.
As the department head was about to explain things to Louis, Xu Wan looked at her son with a sneer and said, "The staff at your company said I’m Xiao Mo’s nanny, affecting her work efficiency and delaying the company’s revenue."
Hearing the mockery in his mother’s words, Louis broke into a cold sweat and looked sharply at Li Yan, "Apologize."
"Why? President, I know you have a special relationship with Designer Qiao, but there are company rules! As a new designer, Qiao Mo brought her relatives to the office on her first day, eating and drinking all afternoon. If everyone did that, what rules would the company have?"
Qiao Mo was about to speak, but Xu Wan stopped her and said to Louis, "Yes, I ate a fruit platter, drank a cup of herbal tea, ate two snacks, and a piece of cake, so do you need to throw me out?"
Qiao Mo’s eye twitched a bit. This Aunt Xu Wan was clearly challenging her son.
With a face full of defiance, like ’This is exactly what I did, go ahead and throw me out.’
