The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Who Are You Dressing Up For?

In the restaurant, Lin Qi had just coaxed Han into finishing dinner when Momo walked out of the room. She asked, “Momo, are you still hungry?”

Momo replied, “Not hungry anymore!” Suddenly, he took out a notice from his backpack and handed it to Lin Qi, “Mommy, there’s a garden party this week.”

Lin Qi took the invitation and glanced at it.

Windsor High School · Garden Party.

This Friday marks the 30th anniversary of Windsor High School. For this occasion, Windsor High School has suspended classes for a day and invited all parents of the students to visit the campus. The school has prepared cultural performances and parent-child activities. Parents can immerse themselves in the educational atmosphere of Windsor High School and foster parent-child relationships.

But… her work schedule had not been confirmed, and she was unsure if she could make time on Friday.

As a newly employed staff member, asking for leave could easily make her disliked by her superiors.

Looking anxious, Momo said, “Mommy doesn’t want to go?” He had seen a notice on Huo Tingdong’s desk as well, given to him by Han.

He had already signed it, which meant that Huo Tingdong would be attending the garden party with Han.

He also wanted Mommy to attend the garden party.

Lin Qi explained, “Mommy does want to go, but Mommy has to work on Friday.” She felt frustrated in her heart, questioning why the garden party couldn’t have been on Saturday or Sunday, instead of a weekday.

Perhaps it was because the parents of Windsor High’s students were all big bosses, who don’t need to punch in for work.

Visible disappointment appeared on Momo’s face.

This little guy had always been sensible and well-behaved, always able to control his emotions, but he truly longed for Mommy to accompany him to the garden party.

Lin Qi said, “Momo, Mommy promises you, as long as Mommy can get leave, I will definitely go with you.”

Momo nodded but still seemed somewhat disheartened.

Attendance at the Windsor High School’s garden party is a must for parents.

Even though he understood that it was not easy for Mommy to find a good job, he didn’t want to attend the garden party all alone, without Mommy’s company.

The next day.

As it was her first day on the job, Lin Qi transferred business with her colleagues.

She had joined the Marketing Development Department as a business representative, which usually meant a laid-back routine managing client data and conducting seminars, but during busy times, traveling around the world for business was inevitable.

Yuanzhou Group’s main business was in real estate. With the booming elder care industry, Yuanzhou was also aiming to develop in this direction.

The retirement homes built by Yuanzhou were high-end senior communities. The word “high-end” also meant that their clientele was comprised of high-ranking elderly individuals, which also denoted a high initial investment in capital costs.

The retirement home currently under construction by Yuanzhou was of five-star hotel caliber, boasting abundant medical resources and 24-hour medical rescue services, even going so far as to purchase three helicopters for emergency evacuations.

However, Yuanzhou was currently negotiating financing issues, with a capital shortfall of five hundred million yuan.

After familiarizing herself with the company’s equity structure, Lin Qi was surprised to find that one of the shareholders of Yuanzhou Group was none other than Mrs. Fang, and recently, Yuanzhou Group was in talks with the Huo Family, hoping to secure investment from them.

No wonder Mrs. Fang was so ingratiating to Huo Tingdong; she was indeed looking for a favor.

Lin Qi had organized the client data and was just stepping out of the elevator when she unexpectedly bumped into Mrs. Fang, who had come to visit the company for inspection.

As a major shareholder, she occasionally visited Yuanzhou to research business progress.

Mrs. Fang was wearing an Hermes dress and a shawl, her hair done up in a beautiful chignon, radiating a sense of unfathomable grace and elegance. The handbag she carried was the Himalaya that Su Yuan had auctioned off for 5.6 million yuan.

It seemed that Mrs. Fang had managed to buy the bag from Su Yuan and could not wait to show it off.

The company’s executives followed her like stars surrounding the moon, accompanying her on her tour.

Lin Qi found herself in an awkward situation simply because she immediately noticed that Mrs. Fang was wearing the same Hermes dress as her.

They were wearing identical outfits!

The colleagues in the office were also taken aback.

“Look! This newcomer actually showed up in the same dress as Mrs. Fang!”

It was some colleague who couldn’t help but make a comment, which Mrs. Fang heard. She turned around and saw Lin Qi, who had just stepped out of the elevator dressed exactly like her. Mrs. Fang’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, her complexion turning a little green with anger.

It’s said that a wardrobe clash isn’t scary; it’s only embarrassing for the one who looks worse.

Even Mrs. Fang had to admit that, after all, she was aging and her beauty was fading, while Lin Qi was young and beautiful, with a slim figure, tight skin, and a face full of collagen, radiantly attractive.

Mrs. Fang felt completely outshone by Lin Qi!

Mrs. Fang was not pleased at all!

Pointing at Lin Qi, she asked, “Who is this person?”

One of Mrs. Fang’s followers glanced over Lin Qi and replied at once, “She’s a newly hired sales representative, surnamed ‘Lin’.”

Mrs. Fang said, “A mere sales representative dressed so flamboyantly to come to work? Is Hermes something anyone can just wear? Dressed like that, is she here to work, or is she here to compete in a beauty contest?”

“This…”

“Call her over.”

The follower turned around and beckoned to Lin Qi, “New girl, come here.”

“Lin Qi, that person is Chairman Li, a director of Yuanzhou like Mrs. Fang, he’s asking for you to come over,” whispered a colleague beside her.

Lin Qi walked over to Mrs. Fang calmly and composed.

Mrs. Fang scrutinized her from head to toe and asked coldly, “Your dress, it’s a knockoff, right? The design looks exactly the same as the original.” She couldn’t believe that a mere sales representative could afford such an expensive dress, especially when it wasn’t readily available.

Lin Qi replied, “Hello Mrs. Fang, to answer you, my dress is genuine, purchased from an Hermes boutique.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her colleagues all showed looks of disbelief.

Ever since Lin Qi joined the company, she had sensed the distance from her colleagues, because they all thought that as a newcomer, in order to stand out, she had actually come to work wearing a counterfeit Hermes dress.

Unfortunately, she had also clashed wardrobes with Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang was an avid fan of Hermes, dressed in Hermes from head to toe, including her bags.

Little did they know, Lin Qi was declaring it was the real deal.

“Is she joking? If she has the money to buy Hermes, why would she still come to work?”

“Perhaps she married well!”

“If she married well, why be a corporate drone? Work is so hard, if I had a husband to support me, I wouldn’t come to the office and suffer like this.”

The surrounding chatter was fervent, with one colleague muttering softly, “No wonder Mrs. Fang is a bit upset… whether it’s Hermes or not, being young and pretty is definitely an advantage. Mrs. Fang has been outclassed, how could she stand that?”

When these words reached Mrs. Fang’s ears, she was mortified and flew into a rage.

She looked around sharply and demanded, “Who is whispering over there!”

The large office fell dead silent.

Mrs. Fang then turned to Lin Qi, pointing to her dress, “Go change out of that outfit! Who do you think you are, dressing up like that in the office? Know your place, who are you trying to impress dressing this way?”
