Chapter 1324: Rumors Fell Apart by Themselves
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When the car arrived at the company, Jing Xiaolu suddenly stopped what she wanted to say, pointing to a man and a woman in front of the company. “Yang Ming, isn’t that Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi?”
Yang Ming looked in the direction pointed by Jing Xiaolu. The man was really Yu Chi. As for the female, Yang Ming didn’t know her, but since Jing Xiaolu said she was Wang Xiaoran, then it should be her.
” Oh ? That woman is Wang Xiaoran?” Yang Ming frowned. “She doesn’t look so good either. Why is Yu Chi fond of such a woman?”
“He likes me. Am I also considered as such a woman?” Jing Xiaolu rolled her eyes. “I am a very devoted person. I don’t even look at others except for you.”
Yang Ming only felt that he had a dirty mouth. Why did he bring up this topic? He couldn’t answer Jing Xiaolu’s question now; he had to pretend to be dumb. Jing Xiaolu seemed to be very happy to see Yang Ming like this. She smiled and quickly parked the car in the parking space in front of the company.
“You still have to leave later, right? Then don’t park in the underground parking lot.” Jing Xiaolu parked the car and said without giving many options.
Yang Ming was amused. She obviously wanted to show off to Wang Xiaoran, but she actually made such a grandiose reason. Even if she parked in the underground parking lot, it was still very convenient to enter and exit. There was no need to park in front of the company. Only the non-company vehicles and the people who came here to handle affairs would park at the main entrance of the company building because they couldn’t find the entrance to the underground parking lot. Besides, they weren’t the company’s employees. It was more problematic to get in and out of the parking lot.
“You will have your own car in a while. If you want to show off, it is no difference showing off later.” Yang Ming was amused, looking at Jing Xiaolu. “Moreover, why are you getting angry over a person who is going to be fired by the company?”
Jing Xiaolu blushed as Yang Ming read her mind. She denied, “I didn’t.”
Yang Ming smiled and said nothing. Jing Xiaolu’s headstrong temperament was not unusual; Yang Ming also acquiesced to her approach.
When Jing Xiaolu parked, she deliberately timed it perfectly. When Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi arrived in front of the company, she parked beside them and opened the door blatantly, scaring both Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi at once.
When Wang Xiaoran saw Jing Xiaolu coming out from the BMW, her face went stiff. Of course, she wouldn’t be stupid to think that Jing Xiaolu met her by chance. She felt that Jing Xiaolu was doing it deliberately to show off to her.
“Aren’t you Wang Xiaoran? What’s the matter? You are walking to the company?” Jing Xiaolu’s tone was very dull; there was no ridiculing tone, but the hint of ridicule could still be heard. “But it’s good. It can save energy and protect the environment! You can also exercise! I have no option; I need to study and work, so I naturally need to save some time.”
Wang Xiaoran was displeased with Jing Xiaolu’s smug look. Her face looked grim after Jing Xiaolu said those words. She snorted, but she couldn’t argue with Jing Xiaolu. She was already inferior to Jing Xiaolu. Jing Xiaolu just told her that she was getting her new car after work last night, then Jing Xiaolu struck back beautifully. The vehicle was parked in front of her, so anything she said would be useless.
Just when Wang Xiaoran was angry, she saw Yang Ming coming out from the front seat of the car. Yang Ming looked familiar to her, but she had never seen him. She suddenly had an evil thought. ” Hehe , I say Xiaolu, who is this? Your boyfriend? Why haven’t I seen him before? Did you really exchange this BMW for yourself?”
Wang Xiaoran didn’t know Yang Ming, but how could Yu Chi not know Yang Ming? When he heard Wang Xiaoran speak nonsense at this moment, he was shocked. He could be pretentious in this company, and he could still get a salary without doing anything every day because of Yang Ming’s face. If Yang Ming was offended, how could he still enjoy a good life?
Thinking of this, Yu Chi quickly kicked Wang Xiaoran to remind her not to spout nonsense. Wang Xiaoran was dumbfounded. Just as she wanted to ask why Yu Chi kicked her, she saw Yu Chi smile and run to Yang Ming. “Cousin, why are you here?”
Yang Ming didn’t shake hands with him. He glanced at Yu Chi and pointed to Jing Xiaolu. “I sent Xiaolu to work, and I’m attending a meeting on the way.”
“Ah… oh…” Yu Chi was shocked. He thought secretly, It turns out that Yang Ming is together with Jing Xiaolu. No wonder she doesn’t like me…
Wang Xiaoran was dumbfounded too. She initially still wanted to say some sarcastic words, but she heard Yu Chi say this. This was his cousin, Yang Ming, which meant that Yang Ming was the brother of the company president. Then Wang Xiaoran immediately dared not to talk casually!
She dared to bully Jing Xiaolu before because she determined that Jing Xiaolu didn’t have any backing. However, when she actually saw Jing Xiaolu and Yang Ming together today, it was a bit embarrassing. It seems the initial rumor is true. Jing Xiaolu’s boyfriend does indeed address the boss as a brother…
“Xiaolu, let’s go.” Yang Ming did not bother with Yu Chi and Wang Xiaoran, and he entered the company with Jing Xiaolu.
Wang Xiaoran was scared, but she also felt a little angry. Why? Why is Jing Xiaolu so lucky? She can even drive a BMW when she goes to work? The man she gets is also handsome and rich. What am I missing?
Looking at Yu Chi by her side, he was far worse as compared to Yang Ming; it was a world of difference. However, Wang Xiaoran was not stupid. She knew that if she offered herself to Yang Ming, he wouldn’t want her. Wang Xiaoran was a little discouraged as she thought of this.
She only could have such a life; she just hoped that Yu Chi could give her more money, and then she would be content. Waiting for Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu to go far away, she and Yu Chi walked into the company together. “Is that person the rich cousin you talked about?”
“Why? You like him because he is good?” Yu Chi was a bit jealous. He had completely given up the idea of pursuing Jing Xiaolu, and he had turned his attention to Wang Xiaoran.
“Good? What’s the use? Doesn’t he belong to Jing Xiaolu, that b*tch? Now, my heart only has you.” Wang Xiaoran knew her own weight. She could still deceive Yu Chi, but Yang Ming was obviously not an easy person. How could he be deceived easily?
” Hehe …” Yu Chi smiled happily. “But don’t talk nonsense; don’t scold Jing Xiaolu anymore…”
“Do you still think about her in your heart? You don’t like it when I scold her as a b*tch?” Wang Xiaoran glared and asked furiously.
“I am talking about my cousin. His family is very capable here. Just don’t provoke him.” Yu Chi still wanted to mingle around well for a while. How leisurely was this life? He didn’t have to work, and he could take a salary of eight thousand yuan every month; this was as comfortable as f*ck. It was much stronger than when he was in his family.
“Why are you so useless? Isn’t he your cousin? Won’t he listen to your words?” Wang Xiaoran rolled her eyes. “You are his cousin, so then you should talk to him.”
Yu Chi smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought, You really think very highly of me. It is not bad for him to recognize me as his cousin. How do I dare to talk to him?
“Of course, you can still talk about it… but it’s inappropriate to scold people.” Yu Chi said, “Now, the post about Jing Xiaolu is definitely a farce; it must not be true.”
” Hmph .” Wang Xiaoran was dissatisfied. She was a dissatisfied person. If not, she wouldn’t change her boyfriend again and again. If she saw a better one, she would feel unsatisfied, and then she would like to continue to change.
When she changed to Yu Chi before, she felt that Yu Chi had great potential for development, but compared to Yang Ming, this Yu Chi was a little worse. Even though they were relatives, their relationship was nothing more than that. Yang Ming also didn’t like him very much. It would be difficult for Yu Chi to develop in the company, but she just did not know what his family did. Did his family have money?
It was just that it was too early to ask about these things. Wang Xiaoran planned to wait a few days to get familiar with it before she asked again. If Yu Chi’s family had money, it didn’t matter if she followed him. She could also find some ways to have his cousin promote him again. It’s best to be a company manager to earn some money.
When they first entered the company, they saw a big signboard next to the elevator. “At 9:00 am, an all-staff meeting will be held on the top floor conference room. Everyone must be present. Otherwise, you will be punished for being absent from work.”
“Meeting? How come we have a meeting suddenly?” Wang Xiaoran was astounded, looking at the sign. “This is not the end of the quarter. Why is there an all-staff meeting? Did something happen to the company?”
The two vice presidents of the company defected previously, and they took away a lot of money. It was no longer a secret in the company. Then, an all-staff meeting was held after that. It was just a few days later. Why was there another all-staff meeting again?
“Don’t bother. Let’s take the last row. No matter what they discuss, it has nothing to do with us,” said Yu Chi indifferently.
“Why are you so unambitious? Since you have this relationship with your cousin, you should slightly work harder. When you become a middle-level leader, aren’t there more chances to earn money?” Wang Xiaoran was a little angry. Although she felt that It was a very good thing for Yu Chi to get a salary without doing anything, now, she felt that Yu Chi should be more ambitious since she was with him.
“How can I be ambitious? I don’t know anything about this company; I’m just using my cousin’s name to mix around here.” Yu Chi spread up his hands and smiled bitterly.
“You talk to your cousin to have him arrange a position for you. Isn’t that easy? Do you need me to teach you?” Wang Xiaoran snorted. “Aren’t you two relatives?”
Seeing Wang Xiaoran said this, Yu Chi couldn’t help it. He could only say, “Well, then, I will try.”
Since the meeting notice was placed at the door of the elevator, the people in the company came to the office, left their things there, and then walked to the conference room with a notepad.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaoran also took a notepad and went with Yu Chi to the meeting room.
Because there were too many people and a long wait for the elevator, many people chose to take the stairs. Anyway, it was still in the early morning, and they could consider it as exercising.
Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu went directly to the conference room. In the lounge next to the conference room, they saw Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan discussing something.
This lounge was reserved for the company’s leaders. The leaders would usually rest here before the meeting. The ordinary staff couldn’t just come in. So, when Yang Ming went into the lounge with Jing Xiaolu, the employees behind were baffled.
Of course, they knew Jing Xiaolu, but Yang Ming had never been to the company. They didn’t know who Yang Ming was. Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu took the elevator directly up to the top floor, so when they got out of the elevator, they met the company’s employees. Before they could guess the relationship between Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu, they saw this amazing scene.
When Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu entered the lounge together, the employees behind them gathered and discussed. “Who is that man? Why did he enter the lounge where only the company leaders entered?”
“Is he going into the wrong room?” Another person said with suspicion.
“Impossible! Even if he made a mistake, did Jing Xiaolu behind him also make a mistake? Jing Xiaolu knows the rules of the company!” Another person said with certainty. “Could the man be the rumored boyfriend of Jing Xiaolu?”
“Boyfriend? Didn’t she post on the Internet?” Then another person asked in confusion.
“Are you stupid? I saw Jing Xiaolu and the man come here in a BMW X5 this morning. The license plate has five eights. She is driving it initially. Why does she need to post in the forum to exchange a car!?” Another person said.
“Maybe, this car was exchanged?” The previous person asked.
“The person who can drive this car with such a license plate must be a big shot. If Jing Xiaolu really exchanged the car with her body, he won’t be fond of her.” The other person continued, “So, this proves that the post online is definitely fake!”
” Cough , it’s useless to say that. Won’t you know after a while?” One person said as he waved his hand.
“Yeah, let’s go to the meeting first…” The previous man also nodded.
However, after these people entered the conference room, they were stunned because on a name tag placed on the podium of the conference room was the name of Jing Xiaolu!
Although it was not in the middle, it was also very close to the middle. It was closer to the middle than a few vice presidents, but there was also a name that everyone did not know which was Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was just beside Jing Xiaolu. Next to Yang Ming was Hou Zhenhan, and Hou Zhenhan was next to Bao Sanli. According to the current layout, the position of Yang Ming and Hou Zhenhan should be in the middle two positions, and the positions of Jing Xiaolu and Bao Sanli were next to them.
“How did Jing Xiaolu get to the podium?” People looked at the name tag on the podium.
“Who is that Yang Ming? I haven’t heard of him before? How is he next to President Hou?” Another person asked.
“Yeah, will he be the person from the group headquarters?” Someone said.
However, Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi were the most surprised. They both entered the conference room and sat relatively in the back. They didn’t pay attention to it at first, but after sitting down, Yu Chi saw Yang Ming’s name on the podium. Just as he wanted to speak to Wang Xiaoran, he actually found that the name tag next to Yang Ming was Jing Xiaolu.
“Jing Xiaolu is on the podium?” Wang Xiaoran was a little bit irritated. “It’s obvious that your cousin, Yang Ming, wants to touch her, so he promotes her to be a leader!”
“It’s possible…” Yu Chi hadn’t figured out what relationship Yang Ming had with Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. He used to think that Yang Ming was just buddies with them, so Yang Ming could arrange for him to be idle here.
But today, it seemed that this was not the case. Yang Ming could actually sit on the podium. What did this mean? At the very least, Yang Ming should have stock in this company!
He associated his uncle’s company name, Ming Yang Heavy Industry, to this company’s name, Ming Yang Entertainment. Doesn’t he really have stock?
“Jing Xiaolu can even become a leader. Why can’t you become one? You go and talk to your cousin. If it really doesn’t work, I can try also.” Wang Xiaoran felt that her qualifications in the company were not worse than Jing Xiaolu. She wasn’t promoted because she didn’t have any relationships.
Yu Chi was somewhat helpless with Wang Xiaoran’s words. He was an unambitious man, and he didn’t want to be a leader in the company. It was enough to get a salary for nothing and be with his girlfriend every day, but Xiao Xiaoran obviously was not willing. Yu Chi had no choice. He didn’t want Wang Xiaoran to be angry now, so he said, “Okay, I can only try it. I can’t guarantee success.”
“It’s fine if you try. If it really doesn’t work, you can go to your uncle.” Wang Xiaoran thought about things very simply. In her opinion, since Jing Xiaolu could be a leader, Yu Chi should have no problem.
In fact, not only Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi guessed that Jing Xiaolu wanted to be a leader. Other employees who entered the conference room saw the strange scene on the podium, and they all began to speculate.
No one was stupid. Those who could be on the podium were definitely not general employees. They must have a certain identity, and Jing Xiaolu’s name was there. If the staff wasn’t mistaken, then there was only one possibility which was that Jing Xiaolu was going to be promoted. This appointment would probably be announced at this meeting.
Yesterday, they were laughing at Jing Xiaolu, and those who disdained Jing Xiaolu in their hearts were starting to keep quiet out of fear today! And that rumor fell apart itself. They didn’t believe that this promotion was done suddenly. Which company did not ask the parties to talk before promoting them?
So they thought that Jing Xiaolu must have known about the promotion beforehand, and since she knew about the promotion, why would she exchange her body with a BMW, unless she was crazy?!
Ming Yang Entertainment’s general employee salary was not low, let alone the salary of those leaders. Besides, after Jing Xiaolu was promoted to the executive level, her monthly salary would be at least twenty thousand to thirty thousand yuan or even more, plus some bonuses. There was no problem getting five or six hundred thousand a year. That was to say, even if she wanted to buy a car, let alone buying the most expensive one, she could at least buy the cheaper BMW, right?
However, she could buy her own car in a year. Why would she exchange herself for the right to drive a BMW for a week? Let’s take a step back. Even if Jing Xiaolu was in a hurry, and she couldn’t wait for a year, wasn’t it easy for her to rent a car with her salary?
Even if she rented the most luxurious car, the monthly rent would only be ten thousand yuan, which was equivalent to her monthly salary. Why would she sell herself?
Therefore, the rumors fell apart without Jing Xiaolu explaining herself.
