Chapter 53 Newcomer Endorsement
The newly renovated little home seemed empty everywhere. I took down the framed wedding photos hanging in the bedroom and piled them in the corner facing the wall.
Since I got married, I have never felt such peace and tranquility. I feel so relaxed and happy.
It turns out that staying away from those two scumbags is such a pleasant thing.
The next day, when I went to work as usual, before leaving the house, I accidentally found a suit jacket in the closet at the door. I thought it was Dean ‘s, but when I looked carefully, I realized it was Eugene ‘s.
I remember very clearly that there was a power outage at the Teng residence that night. After taking Kim away, Eugene insisted on sending me home. This dress was the one he put on me that night. However, I didn’t know at that time that the male owner of the villa was Eugene .
When I think about it calmly, I still treat him well, even though he is a little overbearing and cold, and has a bit of a weird temper.
I pulled off the coat and took the subway to the company. But just as I got out of the subway, I saw Jacqueline at the entrance of the group building .
She was wearing seven-centimeter red stilettos and two decorative shoelaces on her slender white ankles. The line of sight extended all the way upwards. The goose yellow dress covered her thighs, revealing her collarbones, and her wavy hair fluttered in the wind.
I could smell the sexiness on her from a long distance away, especially when she was walking into the group building, twisting her waist back and forth as if she wanted to twist it out of the sky!
I tried to slow down my pace and walked unsteadily towards the company entrance, for fear of running into her. But she probably noticed me and deliberately stayed in the hall for a while until I appeared at the company entrance. She stood there and looked at me meaningfully.
I wasn’t timid at all. I straightened my back, walked up, passed her, and got into the elevator.
Jacqueline followed me in two steps, stretched out her left hand with a diamond ring, blocked the elevator door, and stood beside me with a sly smile.
That’s right, my focus now is the diamond ring on her hand.
Before I could say anything, she waved her left hand in front of me in a mysterious way and said provocatively, “Isn’t this diamond ring bigger than yours? Tsk tsk, you worked like a slave for two years and ended up like this. I wonder if the baby in your belly will be like her mother after she is born, and be trampled underfoot for the rest of her life!”
I turned my head sharply and threw my handbag at her, ” Jacqueline , shut up!”
There was a red mark on her right shoulder from where I hit her. She looked at me fiercely, with anger rising one after another. However, she did not attack me. Instead, she continued to provoke me with her eloquent tongue.
“I thought you were so capable that men hit me because they couldn’t beat me. But I’m not angry. After all, you are the one who washes Dean ‘s underwear after every pleasure we have. I am quite grateful to you, right?” She looked at me mockingly, and just as I was about to grab her hair and fight her to the death, the elevator door opened.
We have reached the fifteenth floor.
Before I could even step out, the dramatic Jacqueline suddenly felt dizzy and fell down. Her body was like a ball of dough, half of it inside the elevator and half lying outside.
The employees in the lounge opposite looked towards us. Just as I was about to explain, Jacqueline started to cry weakly, ” Candice … please stop torturing me!”
I stood there awkwardly, watching several men coming out of the opposite room one after another. They carefully and gently helped Jacqueline up, and then I realized that she was actually crying, her eyes were blurry with tears, it was so realistic.
It’s hard to imagine how Jacqueline acted with me during the years when I funded her school. I can’t imagine whether the money I gave her every month was used for trysts between her and Dean .
Or in other words, Jacqueline , this mistress , is actually raised by me for Dean !
Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but get angry. The male employees in front of me looked at me fiercely, as if I had bullied some national treasure goddess!
I didn’t plan to explain. When I walked out of the elevator, I picked up my bag and hit Jacqueline ‘s head hard. After that, I ran away.
Those employees were all sighing at my brutality, but I didn’t care. I would only stay in this company for three months anyway, and after three months, I would withdraw.
I walked quickly to the door of Eugene ‘s office, reached out and pushed it. With a “bang”, the door hit the wall.
Only then did I realize that I had used too much force again.
Eugene in the office spat out his coffee when he heard the banging of the door. He looked at me angrily and helplessly, “Are you angry again?”
I didn’t explain. I walked to my desk, put the shopping bag in front of him, and said, “This is the suit you lent me before. I’m returning it to you now! By the way, what’s your bank card number? I’ll return the money I spent on shopping that day, as well as the dry cleaning fee for the clothes. I didn’t know which store you often go to for dry cleaning, so I didn’t wash them.” I lowered my head and calculated, “The total is three thousand yuan, right?”
Eugene slammed the coffee cup in front of me, approached me with a serious look and said, ” Candice , am I too easy on you?”
I blinked nervously, “What… what happened…”
He stretched out his bony right index finger and poked me hard on the forehead, reminding me: “Who told you to be so disrespectful in my office?”
Indeed, not everyone can enter this room. Even if someone enters, I have never seen any employee speak as loudly and unscrupulously as I do.
I took a deep breath and nodded quickly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson , I will pay attention! I was too disrespectful!”
He casually threw me a USB drive and said, “Go to the printing room and make 40 copies of this and send them to the conference room in half an hour.”
After saying that, he strode out of the room, his back looking cold and grim, without any humanity at all.
I rolled my eyes secretly behind him. What? I never saw him have such a bad temper even when he was a kid. In the past, whenever he was bullied, I would rush out to help him. Now everything is reversed. He not only orders me around, but also bullies me.
I took the USB drive to the public printing room, and when I opened the files in the USB drive on the computer, I almost collapsed.
One document had more than fifty pages, both front and back. Printing forty copies and binding them completely within half an hour was almost like killing me.
But there is no way. Now that we are in the tiger’s mouth, we can only keep our head down and do our work.
I opened two newly opened packs of printing paper, installed the paper boxes, and started the machine, but then I discovered that the ink cartridges needed to be replaced again. I rummaged around the warehouse for spare supplies and spent more than ten minutes before I was finally ready.
The machine started working and I bound and proofread the books one by one.
During the binding process, there was a sudden noisy sound of talking outside the printing room. I looked out the door and found that there were a lot of people gathered in the public area. Jacqueline was surrounded by those people, chatting with them.
Even a fool could see that those employees were trying to get close to Jacqueline . After all, she was the company’s new endorsement candidate. The so-called new endorsement candidate means that no matter whether you have been famous before or whether you have personal charm, the company will invest heavily to make you a celebrity.
I don’t know how Jacqueline stood out from the competition for spokesperson, but now the overall situation is clear. Jacqueline will appear in the advertisements for the company’s new project .
Outside the door, the flattering words from those people were more beautiful than the last. There were even some sarcastic people who deliberately used the matter between Dean and me to raise Jacqueline ‘s status.
They all said, how could Jacqueline , a 19-year-old college student, be involved in the so-called ” mistress ” farce? It must be because I, the vicious original wife, wanted to take advantage of the young man’s belly, which caused so many misunderstandings.
I was in the printing room listening to all this nonsense, the printer was buzzing and my head was buzzing too.
After the forty documents were bound, the meeting was about to begin. At this time, another small printer suddenly started up and printed out two pages of paper. I took a look and it was a speech draft with Jacqueline ‘s name signed at the bottom.
Outside the door, the secretary’s voice sounded, ” Miss Jones , could you please take out the speech you just printed? I typed those two pages here!”
I pulled out the two pieces of paper, then picked up forty documents, rested my chin on the pile of documents, and staggered out.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
At the door, Jacqueline crossed her arms over her chest, looked at me motionlessly and said, “Give me my speech.”
I lowered my eyebrows and responded indifferently, “It’s up there, take it yourself.”
Jacqueline curled her lips evilly and took two steps to stand in front of me, but she did not reach out to take the manuscript. Instead, she pinched my inner arm hard the moment she reached out her hand.
“Ouch!” I screamed, and then forty documents fell to the ground, including her speech.
I collapsed and yelled at her: “Are you a bitch? Why are you pinching me?”
Jacqueline immediately pretended to be pitiful and apologized quickly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it…”
Jacqueline ‘s voice was very soft, and everyone around me was staring at me. Their gazes were so hot that it was really maddening.
Seeing that the meeting time was about to end, I immediately squatted down and started to collect the scattered documents. After the documents were arranged one by one, I was about to stand up with my back hunched, but at this time, Jacqueline suddenly pressed my back with her hand and said, “And there is my speech manuscript, you should pick it up for me.”
I shook her hand off and looked up and asked, “Don’t you have hands? Can’t you pick it up yourself?”
She lowered her head in grievance, “My skirt is too short. If I bend over, I’ll be exposed…”
I really didn’t want to continue dealing with her, so I reached out and grabbed the speech on the ground, but at this moment, Jacqueline raised her foot and stepped on the speech, almost stepping on my hand.
She screamed, “Oops! It’s dirty! Looks like you have to make another one!”
Jacqueline ‘s red high heels were still trampling on the snow-white speech manuscript, and I suddenly felt that the two thin speeches, like my shattered self-esteem, were being severely trampled and insulted.
I wanted to get angry, and at this moment, someone suddenly grabbed my collar from above, and I was pulled up by the brute force. The moment I stood up straight, my neck was almost strangled to death.
I coughed violently twice and looked up. It was Eugene . He patted my shoulder expressionlessly and ordered, “Go to the meeting room.”
Jacqueline saw that I was leaving, she immediately started to act coquettishly with Eugene , “But Mr. Johnson … I haven’t typed my speech yet! I don’t know how to use your printer, what should I do…”
Eugene pointed to the speech on the ground indifferently, “It’s already printed.”
Jacqueline grabbed his arm and said, “But… that’s dirty…”
I really can’t stand it. Jacqueline ends her sentences with “le la”, as if her tongue was scalded by hot water. How come she didn’t get burned to death!
Instantly, Eugene ‘s eyes began to freeze. He quickly shook off Jacqueline , then turned and walked towards the meeting room. Before leaving, he stepped on the paper.
As he walked, he said, ” Candice , don’t waste time.”
Jacqueline was left standing there in the cold, gritting her teeth.
When we arrived at the conference room, there were many company executives and media reporters sitting inside, including a director of a cooperative company, who was also a young man, about 27 or 28 years old, dressed very fashionably and had a handsome appearance. His hair was smeared with bright hairspray, revealing his broad forehead. There was a sense of uncouthness in his speech and behavior, which made people feel that he was very immature.
Eugene ordered me to distribute the materials now. I distributed them from left to right. When I passed by the chairman of the cooperative company, he deliberately touched the back of my hand with his fingers, looked up at me with interest, and teased, “Your hands are very cold!”
I looked at him unnaturally, and the moment we looked at each other, he suddenly burst into laughter, and even… laughed so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth.
He pointed directly at my face, and the metal skull ring on his finger was particularly dazzling. After he had laughed enough, he said to me breathlessly: “Hey! What’s your name? Are all the employees of Eugene Company so dedicated? How much does he pay you a month? I’ll give you double!” Suddenly, he moved closer to me, “Come to my company? How about it?”
I had no idea what he meant by that. While I was confused, Eugene walked towards me from the other side of the conference room. He threw a wet towel on my face and said, “Wipe your face clean!”
I woodenly grabbed the wet wipes, turned around to look at myself in the reflective glass, and then I realized… my mouth, face, and forehead were all covered with toner!
Just now when I was changing the ink cartridge for the printer, I accidentally rubbed it on my face and then forgot to wipe it off.
How shameful!
I ran to the back of the meeting room in shame, and the chairman of the cooperative company kept looking back at me all the way.
Before the meeting officially started, I had already wiped off all the dirt on my face. Sadly, even the makeup on my face was wiped off…
I finally got the urge to put on some makeup, but it didn’t last more than two hours!
Jacqueline walked in with a coquettish look . When she appeared in front of everyone in her revealing and sexy outfit, everyone in the room sighed.
Jacqueline was holding her speech in her hand, and behind the speech were two big footprints.
It seems that she picked up the two pieces of paper after all.
Jacqueline walked straight to the chairman of the cooperative company. The chairman naturally put his arm around Jacqueline ‘s waist and said with a smile, “You are really obedient. I said I like yellow, and you really came wearing yellow.”
Jacqueline gently pushed the other person’s shoulder and said, “You’re annoying. It was just a coincidence today. It’s not because of you!”
