Chapter 14 Interview Rejection

• The news of the marriage alliance between the Si family and the Yang family had spread throughout the upper society.
• Whenever someone praised his wife, Si Jincheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, standing up straighter.
• Nian Xunxia tried her best to avoid the gaze of those people. However, when she heard them mention that she resembled Sun Lan, her heart sank.
• She silently prayed that the Yang family would not attend the banquet tonight.
• "Wait here for a moment, I'll go and greet them," Si Jincheng released Nian Xunxia's hand and said, his head lowered.
• Nian Xunxia nodded without looking at him.
• Si Jincheng thought she was just shy and faintly smiled.
• Instinctively, he raised his hand and lightly patted her head, saying, "Good girl."
• After patting her, his hand paused, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.
• What had he just done?
• How could he make such an intimate gesture towards a mere "decoration"? How could he justify it to his Xia Xia?
• Nian Xunxia sensed the change in Si Jincheng's demeanor and looked up at him suspiciously, asking, "What's wrong?"
• "Nothing," Si Jincheng felt a surge of annoyance in his heart, and his words came out with a hint of aggression.
• Forget it, he turned around and left, leaving Nian Xunxia alone and confused.
• She found a secluded place to stay, avoiding contact with the crowd.
• However, the wind continued to blow even when the trees desired stillness.
• "Mrs. Si, hello, I'm Qiao Anran. You look absolutely stunning today."
• Qiao Anran wore a flattering smile as she complimented Nian Xunxia.
• It was Nian Xunxia's first time attending such a banquet, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. She could only smile awkwardly at the other party and reply, "Thank you."
• With Qiao Anran initiating, other young ladies and wives joined in complimenting Nian Xunxia.
• Nian Xunxia chatted absentmindedly with them for half an hour, feeling a bit tired. She then found an excuse to leave the group.
• She accidentally wandered into the backyard of the Yun Mansion.
• Her phone suddenly rang.
• It was a call from the personnel department of Ruoshi.
• "Hello, Miss Nian, I'm sorry to inform you that you did not pass the interview this morning. We look forward to future opportunities for cooperation."
• The official voice of the other party came through the phone, and Nian Xunxia listened in a daze.
• "What do you mean? Didn't the interviewer this morning say that I could come tomorrow to complete the hiring process and sign the contract?"
• The voice on the other end of the line spoke in an official tone, "We made a mistake this morning regarding the job applicant. We apologize for the inconvenience."
• Before Nian Xunxia could ask another question, the other party abruptly hung up the phone.
• Nian Xunxia held her phone, blinking in confusion.
• What had happened to the HR department of Ruoshi Company?
• They seemed to value her in the morning, so why did they change their minds after just a few hours?
• It seemed like she had encountered this situation before during previous job interviews.
• Every time she went for an interview, the boss seemed to value her during the process and showed interest in hiring her. But after they received a phone call, their attitude towards her changed and became cold.
• If she couldn't see that someone was plotting against her behind the scenes, then she had been living in vain all these years!
• Who could be behind this?
• Yang Chuxia?
• It seemed like it could only be her. She had always enjoyed setting traps for her since they were young, and it had only gotten worse as they grew up!
• "You're not Miss Yang."
• Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, making her whole body tense up in alertness.
• Who could recognize her so quickly?
• Nian Xunxia's heart skipped a beat, and she slowly turned around to see a girl standing in front of her. The girl's appearance was not particularly attractive, but she had a captivating presence.
• She stared at Nian Xunxia with her big eyes, her facial features tense.
