Chapter 2 Not Everyone Could Be Born Into a Well To Do Family
- Five years later.
- Project Department, Zhuoyue Creative Company
- 10 a.m. being the busiest time of the day, it was strange to see a few of the employees gathering in groups, engaging in some juicy discussions.
- The little prince of Jin Group was set to have his fifth birthday very soon. It was no secret that Mr. Jin and his wife had doted upon the little prince, pampering him. Every year, they racked their brains, trying to look for the best event planner to host the little prince’s grand birthday party.
- This year was certainly not an exception.
- Several event planners had proposed their creative ideas, hoping to grab ahold of the opportunity that had been presented in front of them.
- Surprisingly, Zhuoyue Creative Company had been chosen. It was as if a pie had fallen out of the sky.
- “Well, this is odd. Jin’s company had always worked with large companies. Why have they picked our company this year? Although we are reputable, it is very unusual for us to have been chosen.”
- “It was speculated that the young prince’s grandparents had given the little prince the privilege of selecting the company himself. I’m not sure why he has selected us though.”
- “Isn’t this a good thing? Many have dreamt to be able to work with Jin Group. In addition to that, If we’ve performed well…Who knows? We may be able to receive a large bonus. I’ve heard that Dongchen Creative had rewarded their employees millions, for having planned this event last year. It’s insane!”
- “What’s the big deal? The young prince had been gifted a magnificent cruise for his first birthday, a private jet on his second, a luxury castle in France for his third and 20% of the shares of the Jin Group on his fourth. He is now worth billions, okay?”
- “Ah, stop it. This kind of splendid life is simply too much for me. I am not envious at all!!!”
- “Indeed, we can’t be envious either. We are just normal people. We should work harder. After all, not everyone can be born into a well-to-do family!”
- ……
- Jiang Xiaoxiao was in a daze as she listened to their discussion. She mocked herself lightly.
- Indeed, not everyone could be born into a well-to-do family.
- People like her would probably have nothing to do with these affluent families her lifetime.
- Not only had she been kicked out of her house, she had been lucked out.
- She had spent all the money that she had received upon being a surrogate on her mother’s medical expenses, yet there had been hardly any improvement of her… As for her child, she had never seen him again.
- Thinking of which, he would have been five this year, the same age as Jin Group’s little prince.
- Tears welled up in her eyes.
- That child… was still an indelible regret and he had incited a pain deep within her heart.
- I wonder how he is doing right now?
- Jiang Xiaoxiao sniffed as she suppressed her urge to cry.
- Suddenly, someone admonished her harshly, “Jiang Xiaoxiao, I asked you to photocopy a document quite a while ago. Why are you taking so long? You are such a useless bum. I wonder why you were accepted in the first place.”
- The person who had uttered such words was none other than the Director of the Project Department, Yan Yifei.
- Jiang Xiaoxiao had just graduated this year and had been doing her internship for close to two months now. Yan Yifei's sister was there during the interview too. It was said that Yan Yifei had selected her as the default candidate behind closed doors. However, that position was taken away by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
- Since then, Yan Yifei had used all sorts of methods to cause her torment.
- She was extremely stuck-up!
- However, since she was the head of the department, no one dared to go against her orders. Hence, everyone had turned a blind eye to her bullying.
- Jiang Xiaoxiao barely hid her disgust as she retrieved the documents, saying, “It's already printed.”
- Who knows? Just when she had approached, Yan Yifei dropped her cup of coffee onto the floor and rebuked angrily, “Watch out! Are you blind? Clean this up now.”
- Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned.
- She hadn’t touched Yan Yifei at all.
- Yan Yifei did it intentionally.
- “I didn't do it,” Jiang Xiaoxiao said blandly.
- Yan Yifei was furious when she heard that. Her pretty face looked sullen, as she suddenly proclaimed acrimoniously, “Jiang Xiaoxiao, do you still want the job? If not, out you go! There are many others who want your position.”
- Jiang Xiaoxiao bit her lips, trying to suppress her dissatisfaction.
- She had certainly wanted the job. Otherwise why would she tolerate such a person for so long?
- Her mother was still warded and she had to pay the bills. During her school days, she had taken up different part-time jobs to survive but she had barely made it through. This job entailed a considerably high salary and she didn’t want to lose it.
- However, Yan Yifei was simply too much!
- The rest of them struggled to turn a blind eye to this.
- After all, Jiang Xiaoxiao was pretty and nice. She was also quite the sociable person.
- Sadly, Yan Yifei was the head of the department. Not only was she capable, she was also highly valued by the company. Hence, no one dared to say a word.
- Yan Yifei knew this very well and said arrogantly, “Since you still want the job, what are you waiting for? Go clean this up quickly! By the way, remember to USE. YOUR. HANDS!”
- Jiang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists but relented. She turned around as she prepared to bring some cleaning tools over.
- “Hang on!”
- Just then, a cute voice resonated.
- Everyone turned to see an adorable prince in a suit walking through the door, with his stubby legs. He looked stunning.
- He had extremely delicate facial features with a fair skin. He was looking like a gem. His eyes were as beautiful as a black jewel, tilted slightly upwards. Everyone who saw him knew that he would be a troublemaker, growing up.
- He could not conceal the noble vibe that he carried.
- Behind this little one was a row of attractive bodyguards, looking solemn and respectable.
- Everyone’s attention fell onto the little prince as they were puzzled. Who is this prince? He looks so adorable! So cute! Oh! I wish I could bring him home!
- The little prince went straight to Jiang Xiaoxiao and Yan Yifei.
- He lifted his head slightly, casting a cold glare upon Yan Yifei, expressionlessly.
- Then, he looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, before sizing her up with deep curiosity.
