On the day of the anniversary celebration, Mu Zixi arrived at the company early and met Guo Lijian. Guo Lijian smiled and said,"This gown is not bad. The style is good. It seems to be a new style from a big brand this year.”
"Chanel, but the thickness of the pleats is slightly different.”Cheng Cheng added. When Mu Zixi heard this, she felt uneasy. Was she wearing a fake? Would someone say something about her? It didn't matter if the quality was poor, as long as it was the original version. However, if it was a counterfeit, wouldn't that help the person who violated the law? The thickness of the pleats was different, so it shouldn't be considered an imitation! But now, this gown was like a thorn on her body, pricking every cell in her body. Who asked her to never pay attention to clothes?
"You guys continue chatting. I have something to do.”Guo Lijian remembered that he had to pick up a friend outside. Seeing that Cheng Gongmei had come and someone was accompanying Mu Zixi, he immediately left.
Cheng Gongmei and Mu Zixi were chatting when Mu Zixi suddenly heard two people discussing behind him. She responded to Cheng Gongmei while listening to what the two of them were saying.
"Have you heard? Luo Yijie is also coming today." A woman with a sharp face whispered. Mu Zixi recognized her. She was Liu Meiling, who was praised last time.
"You said she's Manager Long's girlfriend.”Another round-faced girl with a thick layer of BBB cream said. Her skin was still dark. Mu Zixi recognized this girl. She was Liu Jingjing, who shared the same office as him.
"Yes, I heard that her mother runs a hospital and her father is a high-ranking official in the city government. Her father has helped our company develop so well.”Liu Meiling said enviously.
"The two of them are a talented man and a beautiful woman.”
"Exactly. Look, she's here." When Mu Zixi heard this, she looked towards the door. Luo Yijie was holding Long Fei's hand as they walked in. They were really a good match. They were a perfect match. She sincerely praised them and blessed them in her heart. However, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Oh my god, the style of Luo Yijie's gown was similar to hers. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly felt extremely embarrassed. Her face immediately darkened.
"It's alright. She's not from our company either." Cheng Gongmei saw her embarrassment and quickly comforted her.
"Gongmei, I really don't know. This gown is a replica. I'm very lacking in knowledge about clothing and rarely pay attention to it.”Mu Zixi didn't know why, but she just couldn't wait to say these words to Cheng Gongmei. Otherwise, she would feel suffocated.
"Zi Xi, it's fine. Don't worry. There's still a difference between your style and hers.”
Mu Zixi saw that Luo Yijie's skirt had exquisite dark patterns. If the light was not strong and she did not look closely, she really could not see it. However, she thought that if it was under the gorgeous lighting, it would shine brightly. She heaved a sigh of relief and replied,"Oh, I see. Thank you.”She admired the beauty of success.
"Wow, she's so beautiful. The gown suits her temperament so well!”Liu Meiling glanced at Luo Yijie with appreciation and praised her exaggeratedly.
" Did you see that, Mu Zixi..." Liu Jingjing whispered into Liu Meiling's ear. Even so, Mu Zixi still heard some of it and knew what she wanted to say.
"How shameless." Liu Meiling laughed loudly.
Then, Liu Meiling and Liu Jingjing walked away one after another, distancing themselves from Mu Zixi. They continued to whisper to each other. Mu Zixi didn't even need to think to know that they were talking about her.
Luo Yijie obviously saw that Mu Zixi was dressed very similar to her. Her expression was surprised, but soon she revealed a mocking smile. She pulled Long Fei to Mu Zixi's side. Her smile did not fade, but it became more fierce. Her naked eyes sized up Mu Zixi without any hesitation.
Then, she praised,"Not bad. This dress suits you very well. It looks very good."”Then, she frowned and raised her voice."Unfortunately, the fabric looks like linen. Everyone, look at the workmanship. Did you sew it yourself?”The moment she said this, the crowd burst into laughter. Long Fei's face was gloomy, but he did not laugh. The others only had success and beauty, but they didn't smile.
Mu Zixi stood there dumbstruck. For a few seconds, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Her face also turned red. Everyone was still looking at her. She could feel all kinds of gazes directed at her. They were mocking, contemptuous, hostile, teasing…This reality show was even more attractive than television. The manager's girlfriend and his secretary almost wore the same clothes. One of them had heavy makeup, while the other had light makeup. They had different temperaments, but they were both beautiful beyond compare.
For some reason, Long Feixin felt a little sad when he saw Mu Zixi being humiliated by Luo Yijie. When he saw Luo Yijie smugly mocking Mu Zixi, a trace of anger rose in his heart. He had the urge to tear Luo Yijie apart. In the past, he had only felt this way with Lu Wanli.
"I bought it online. I've never had any taste in clothes. I'm sorry to make a fool out of myself, Miss Luo.”Mu Zixi composed himself and finally calmed down as he replied in a trembling voice. Even though she tried her best to make her vocal cords thicker, she still found that her voice was uncontrollably shrill. Her tears also started to well up in her eyes. She had to use a lot of effort to keep them in her eyes.
Luo Yijie's thick and curved eyelashes fluttered a few times. Her face darkened and she said sarcastically,""Miss Mu is too modest. This is Chanel's main design this year, but this cheap imitation is really suitable for you.”
"What kind of person deserves what kind of clothes." Someone said this, but Mu Zixi only felt that the surroundings were filled with laughter again. She lowered her head. Long Fei watched all of this without saying a word. In his mind, he was thinking about helping Mu Zixi. He was still considering how to help her when someone spoke. It was Guo Lijian.
"Zi Xi, by the way, there are flowers at the entrance of the party. There were a few children playing there just now. Let's go and see if any children took them away.”
"Alright, I'll go take a look." Mu Zixi looked gratefully at Guo Lijian, who had appeared out of nowhere, and left the place with him.
Guo Lijian had just walked to the door and bumped into Long Fei and Luo Yijie. When he saw Luo Yijie's gown, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He was worried that Mu Zixi would be in trouble, so he specially returned to save the situation.
Seeing Mu Zixi leave, Long Fei suddenly felt very unhappy. He looked unhappily at the backs of the two people leaving. Those who did not know would think that he was unhappy because Mu Zixi was dressed like his girlfriend. Of course, Luo Yijie herself also thought so. She was so happy that her face was full of joy. She admired her ability to hurt others.
When Mu Zixi was relieved, Long Fei heaved a sigh of relief, but he was not happy because he did not help Mu Zixi, because Guo Lijian was the one who helped her. The others were also very disappointed, especially those girls who admired Long Fei and were jealous that Mu Zixi could spend time with Long Fei every day. They originally wanted to see how Mu Zixi, who was wearing an imitation, was embarrassed, had low academic qualifications, and was not favored by Long Fei, would leave in shame. They were watching excitedly, but they did not expect Guo Lijian to stir up the situation. They could only disperse in disappointment.
Guo Lijian was originally Long Fei's classmate. The two of them had always had a good relationship. They had always gotten along well over the years, but recently, Long Fei had developed a trace of disgust towards Guo Lijian's busybody behavior.
"Let's go over there and sit down.”Luo Yijie said to Long Fei. Seeing Mu Zixi leave with a dejected face, she did not hide her happiness at all. A beautiful smile bloomed on her face. Of course, when Long Fei saw such a smile, other than disgust, he had no other feelings.
After Mu Zixi left, she went to the bathroom and allowed the tears she had been holding back to flow down. Those salty tears were like broken beads, one by one, they smashed onto the red marble countertop, soaking in tears, showing Mu Zixi's heartache. Soon, she wiped the tears off the table and washed her face.
Mu Zixi looked at her reflection in the mirror and angrily thought," Wasn't she born into a bad family? Is this something she can decide?" What was so great about Luo Yijie? Wasn't she just born better than her? Was there a need for her to mock him like this? To think that she had sincerely wished her well earlier. One day, she would also wear authentic Chanel clothes and walk past her. She had to take revenge. If her mother recovered from her illness, she would save money to buy high-end clothes even if she had to eat vegetarian every day. Mu Zixi, who never cared about what she wore, had an unprecedented desire to have a decent brand of clothes. Moreover, she was no longer ashamed of her thoughts like before. This was because his current thoughts were not vain, but to regain his dignity as a human.
"Look at how embarrassed she is. Haha, I'm so happy.”This was a very seductive woman. She covered her mouth and smiled as she spoke softly.
"Wearing the same clothes as her, are you coveting her fiancé?”The slightly hoarse male voice was Liu Songguang.
"How is she worthy?" Mu Zixi had just tidied herself up and walked to the bathroom door when she heard a man and a woman talking about her again around the corner. This time, she no longer cried or was sad. A strong anger made her tell herself not to care. She wanted to be a strong person.
"Let me tell you, Miss Luo is not a simple person. She told me to keep an eye on her the moment she came.”
"Is that so?" the woman said with a charming smile.
"What? You don't believe me? If she wasn't stupid, Miss Luo would have asked Manager Long to fire him. At that time, Manager Long wanted to open her up, but Miss Luo even deliberately stopped him. You see, you don't know, right?
"I don't have the time to pay attention to her every day. Manager Long's previous assistant was worth looking at. That woman was good-looking and scheming. This woman was so silly. What was there to see?”the woman said harshly.
"Actually, I didn't want to take this job either. It's especially challenging and boring. However, I can't refuse the job that Miss Luo gave me. What kind of person is Miss Luo? I'm afraid even Manager Long can't refuse her.”Liu Songguang catered to the woman's wishes and said.
"You're still pretending to be obedient after getting a bargain. Isn't it more worry-free for this kind of woman?”
"You can't say that. There are some things that are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.”Liu Songguang said with a smile. As he spoke, he gave the woman's plump chest a kiss. The woman said half-heartedly,"Aiya, you're so bad!"
Mu Zixi did not know either of them. She was very angry. She thought angrily about what kind of stupid company this was. How could these people be so gossipy? Why was there gossip everywhere after she made a fool of herself?
Mu Zixi couldn't bear to listen or watch any longer. She raised her head and straightened her chest. She walked past the two of them aggressively according to the model steps she had practiced in the physique class. The sound of her high heels clattering could be heard. Then, he walked straight to the venue. Yes, she had to face her own life. She couldn't let these people bully her. As the saying went, a kind person was bullied by others. She had cared too much about this job before, so she was too weak. Now that she had become a full-time employee, as long as she did her job well, the company would not fire her for a while. Why should she suffer and let herself become a laughing stock? Wasn't someone certain that she wouldn't return to the venue? She insisted on going back.
Thinking of Luo Yijie, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. However, such a woman was a match made in heaven for her selfish and cold boss. She really couldn't imagine how they could get along. Mu Zixi even made a bet with herself that if they got married and lived together, they would get a divorce within a year.
Mu Zixi returned to the banquet hall. She ignored the criticism and continued to chat with Cheng Gongmei and greet the guests. She thought silently in her heart that no matter what others thought, from now on, she would do her best to show the best of herself.
Mu Zixi's calm return was beyond Luo Yijie and Long Fei's expectations. Luo Yijie thought that this woman could not be underestimated. She immediately thought of Liu Songguang. She had to ask him to keep an eye on her after the banquet. Long Fei admired it. There were many more things in life that were more important and precious than face. He thought that Mu Zixi must have comprehended this point. Long Fei really wanted to talk to Mu Zixi, but Luo Yijie stayed with him the whole night.
After the party ended, Long Fei reluctantly watched Guo Lijian and Mu Zixi leave the company together before sending Luo Yijie home.
As soon as they got into the car, Luo Yijie asked impatiently,""Do you think your assistant's dress looks better today or mine?”
"What's there to compare the two of you?”Long Fei replied to her coldly and perfunctorily, but he thought to himself, No matter how good-looking you are, you have a bad heart.
After sending Luo Yijie off, he returned to his apartment. As usual, he made a cup of tea and turned on the TV. He was usually in no mood to watch the football match that he loved the most. His mind was filled with the scene of Luo Yijie taunting Mu Zixi. Thinking of Mu Zixi's helpless face, his heart ached again. Could it be that he had fallen in love with Mu Zixi? Impossible. He immediately shook his head. How could he fall in love with a stupid girl from the countryside? Impossible, absolutely impossible. At most, he would pity her. Thinking of this, Long Fei felt a little better and continued to watch his football match. After the game ended, he finally felt bored because he had been distracted several times in the middle. Mu Zixi's delicate face always appeared in his mind.
The next day, Luo Yijie woke up and reached out her hand in a daze. She took the phone from the exquisite cabinet and dialed Liu Songguang's number.
A large plate of delicacies was placed in front of Liu Songguang. He wanted to pack half of these delicacies for his brother before he ate them to his heart's content. At this moment, a hurried phone call woke him up from his dream. He cursed and went to get his phone. When he saw that it was Luo Yijie calling, his anger immediately subsided. After all, this was his God of Fortune. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not having the habit of turning off his phone at night.
"Hey, Liu Songguang, I have something to tell you.”As soon as the call was connected, Luo Yijie said impatiently.
"Yes, Miss Luo."
"From today onwards, help me keep an eye on Mu Zixi. Report to me immediately if there are any important situations.”
"Alright." Liu Songguang replied swiftly.
"That woman is not as simple as I thought.”Luo Yijie was still worried and stressed again.
"Don't worry. As long as she plays any tricks, I'll inform you immediately or teach her a lesson personally.”
"Alright." Luo Yijie was relieved and hung up the phone with satisfaction. She threw her phone on the table and went back to sleep.
However, Liu Songguang could not sleep anymore. He thought to himself that in this day and age, not a single cent was easy to earn. He washed up and went to work.
