Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

In Zheng Yanyan's eyes, there was an undisguised contempt. She didn't say anything, but Jiang Xinyi could tell what she wanted to say from her eyes.

That she was older.

Lacking charm.

Otherwise, after dating Zhou Yuwen for so long, why didn't he want to touch her?

Ironically, Jiang Xinyi really couldn't refute these points.

Jiang Xinyi was not the type to doubt herself, and she was confident enough in her appearance, but it depended on who she was compared with.

Of course, there was no problem compared to ordinary people.

But Zheng Yanyan, sitting opposite her, was not only beautiful but also younger.

Most importantly, she mentioned something about those eight times just now.

All these factors combined made Jiang Xinyi feel stifled, with no way to vent her frustration.

Seeing Jiang Xinyi in this state, Zheng Yanyan was quite pleased, thinking that this was a way to get back at Su Qing, right?

Before Jiang Xinyi could come up with a rebuttal, Zheng Yanyan quickly said, "I don't want to argue with you, lest your mom comes looking for me again. Let me tell you, I'm not like Su Qing; if your mom dares to offer me five hundred thousand, I'd definitely take it."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Xinyi frowned upon hearing this.

She really was unaware of this matter.

Zheng Yanyan just thought she was pretending, and didn't bother to argue, pulling Lu Lin to leave.

However, at this moment, Jiang Xinyi wouldn't let her go, angrily shouting, "You stop, make yourself clear!"

Luckily, Tang Xinrou and Tao Tian were there to hold her back.

Tang Xinrou, who had been watching the drama unfold, had initially thought such catfights only happened abroad. Unexpectedly, they were just as intense at home. She chuckled inwardly but outwardly held back Jiang Xinyi, advising, "Sis, don't bother with her."

And so, Zheng Yanyan left first.

Jiang Xinyi shook off Tang Xinrou, frowning, "What nonsense was she spouting just now? Look at people like her, they have no manners at all!"

Jiang Xinyi hoped to gain some empathy from those around her, but unfortunately, only Tang Xinrou tried to console her. Others were just enjoying the spectacle, and even a girl named Qu Jing was quietly giggling to herself.

At this point, Jiang Xinyi, still angry, asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Qu Jing, looking puzzled, "Who? Me? Did I laugh? I didn't."

"You clearly laughed just now," Jiang Xinyi insisted stubbornly.

Qu Jing remarked, "I can't even laugh; should I cry then?"

"Mr. Jiang, you handle finance; I manage personnel. Out of respect, I call you Mr. Jiang, but this company doesn't carry the Jiang name. It's the Zhou name, and Mr. Zhou pays my salary."

Qu Jing was dressed in a black suit and a slim skirt, with black stockings and high heels.

"You!"

"Mr. Jiang, I have other matters to attend to. Outsiders don't know, and they listen to the media's nonsense, thinking you are the woman behind Mr. Zhou. But we're all veterans of Mr. Zhou's company."

"When it comes to assistance, I dare say our help to Mr. Zhou is as significant as yours."

Qu Jing went on relentlessly.

Among those present, none were older than Jiang Xinyi, yet each one had a sharper tongue, vexing Jiang Xinyi to no end.

After saying all this, Qu Jing said, "I have matters to attend to in my office, Mr. Jiang, let's not chat anymore."

With that, Qu Jing turned and left without bothering to listen to Jiang Xinyi's response. My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.

Once Qu Jing left, Jiang Xinyi was furious, grumbling about how Qu Jing had no manners, and Tao Tian tried to explain, saying that Qu Jing had always been like that.

"Mr. Jiang, don't stoop to her level."

Originally, Jiang Xinyi wanted to call a few management members for a meeting, but it seemed difficult now. Not only was Qu Jing noncompliant, but even Chen Wan, who rarely spoke at the company, quietly left after Qu Jing.

Only Tao Tian seemed agreeable.

But to say she's a loyal confidant, it's still far from it.

Upon returning to her office, Jiang Xinyi was livid, feeling as if everyone disrespected her.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but ask Tang Xinrou, "Am I really that old?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinrou chuckled helplessly, "Sis, how could you be old? You're vibrant and beautiful, at the prime of your womanhood; you're only 25!"

Jiang Xinyi looked in the mirror; indeed, the reflection was stunning. To be honest, she didn't feel any different from when she was eighteen.

Tang Xinrou said, "Sis, it's not that you're not pretty."

"It all depends on who you're compared to. If you're comparing yourself to me, of course, you're beautiful, but those over there are only eighteen or nineteen. How can we compare with them?"

Hearing Tang Xinrou's words, Jiang Xinyi felt even more stifled.

Jiang Xinyi said that she initially thought Su Qing was just a madwoman and that things would be fine once she was gone.

But unexpectedly, these women were more troublesome, one after another.

"And that Qu Jing, what is her background!" Jiang Xinyi was infuriated, gritting her teeth.

Recently, Tang Xinrou had been getting to know these people in the company.

Chen Wan was the student council president and a confidante of Su Qing, very close to her.

So, sis, since you're not on good terms with Su Qing, Chen Wan surely isn't fond of you either.

"As for that Qu Jing, she seems to have always had a crush on your brother-in-law. She even backstabbed Tao Tian for him back then. Although she didn't end up dating him, she was still recruited into the company by him."

"Sis, if you want to deal with Qu Jing, you really can't. Everyone in the company knows that Qu Jing is a loyal fan of Zhou Yuwen. People even say behind her back that Qu Jing is like Zhou Yuwen's dog, doing whatever he asks."
