Chapter 496: Face Trampling
Once, Lin Xi was always trampling over her.
Her grades weren't as good as Lin Xi's, her looks weren't as good as Lin Xi's, her figure wasn't as good as Lin Xi's.
Even the boy she liked fancied Lin Xi instead.
Originally, Mia should have been the most dazzling presence at Shannan High School.
But because of Lin Xi, Mia could only ever be the perpetual runner-up.
As long as Lin Xi's halo shone, nobody ever noticed her.
But now?
Now she had overseas study experience, having made a bit of a name for herself abroad.
Though she didn't earn much money, just a small ten million or so.
However, that was nothing compared to what she was about to do.
Because soon, she was going to become a starlet attracting the attention of thousands!
And Lin Xi, she had become like this.
It seems someone saw Lin Xi coming here on a bus!
She couldn't even bear to take a taxi...
This gave Mia a great sense of achievement.
"EVE, which company are you working for now?" After discussing boyfriends, these women started talking about work.
"A clothing company." Lin Xi clearly understood the face-saving nature of her former classmates.
But she didn't care; as long as they were happy, that was fine by her.
After all, being looked down upon by them wouldn't cause her to lose any flesh.
She had no intention to play the pig to eat the tiger.
She just wanted to simply meet with her old classmates for a meal and chit-chat.
"Oh, you work at a clothing company too? My husband also works at one, he's a vice president. Why don't you come work for us? We can offer you more than double your current salary!" The melon-faced beauty said this with a smile.
Of course, she wouldn't really let Lin Xi come work at her husband's company.
Even though she called him her husband, the two of them hadn't even married yet.
Lin Xi was so pretty; what if she stole her man away?
Moreover, her boyfriend wasn't really a vice president; he was just an ordinary manager.
She said so merely to flaunt her husband's capabilities.
"Thank you, but I'm not considering changing companies for the time being." Lin Xi politely replied.
"EVE, I know you like to keep your pride, but there's really no need. After all, we live in a society that values money. With money, you can do anything; without it, you're looked down upon everywhere. Just listen to Meimei and go work at her boyfriend's company. With Meimei looking out for you, your future will definitely be bright."
"Yeah, I've heard that Meimei's boyfriend's company is the largest clothing company in Jiangdu City. It must be many times stronger than your current one!"
"Really, there's no need. But thank you." Lin Xi still smiled.
But Su Chen grew curious.
The largest clothing company in Jiangdu City?
Wasn't that the Yimena Group?
And the vice president of Yimena Group was Qin Keren. How did it become a man?
Immediately intrigued, he asked, "Meimei, is your boyfriend really working at the largest clothing company in Jiangdu City?"
Hearing Su Chen call her Meimei, Du Meimei felt quite pleased, but her eyebrows raised as she said, "What? You don't believe me?"
"No no no, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just saying, if it's really like that, could you introduce me to your boyfriend's company?" Su Chen asked earnestly.
"You?" Du Meimei glanced at Su Chen.
Lin Xi was her classmate, so she might be willing to help Lin Xi out.
But what exactly are you?
Truly a country bumpkin.
Really thought she would let Lin Xi go to her company.
"This is, their company's requirements are very strict, one must at least graduate from a prestigious university, did you graduate from one?" Du Meimei naturally wouldn't outright refuse Su Chen.
Moreover, she seemed to rather enjoy the begging look Su Chen had towards her.
Du Meimei guessed in her heart that Su Chen was very likely Lin Xi's boyfriend.
The boyfriend of the goddess she once looked up to, now pleading for a better job from her—this feeling was simply delightful.
Lin Xi, you like to act high and mighty, don't you? Well, I'll use your boyfriend to slap you in the face!
Du Meimei had made up her mind.
"Oh? The requirements are that high?" Su Chen was slightly startled.
"Of course, they are. Do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter my husband's company? I'll tell you, if it wasn't for EVE's experience of studying abroad, even if our relationship was really good, I wouldn't let her join the company. After all, as a wife, I must support my husband's career," Du Meimei spoke a bit rudely.
Especially that sentence about any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
It seemed as if she was talking about Su Chen.
In fact, it was equivalent to slapping Lin Xi's face.
After all, if Su Chen is Tom, Dick, or Harry, what does that make Lin Xi?
"Oh, is that so?" Su Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Alright, Su Chen, let's eat!" Lin Xi seemed to know what Su Chen wanted to do and gave him a look.
She didn't want to reveal her own identity, nor did she want to make her old classmate feel embarrassed.
Su Chen understood Lin Xi's intentions and obediently shut his mouth.
However, since Du Meimei had already planned to slap Lin Xi's face, she naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity so easily.
Moreover, she was still planning to get into the entertainment circle through Mia's boyfriend.
Everybody knows that Mia and Lin Xi, while appearing to be good friends, were actually not on good terms.
Even if it was just to please Mia, she had to stomp on Lin Xi hard.
The most crucial thing is.
The feeling of stamping on the school beauty she once looked up to was truly delightful.
"However, if you really want to work at my boyfriend's company, it's not impossible," Du Meimei said with a smile.
"Oh?" Su Chen looked at Du Meimei curiously.
Du Meimei glanced at Lin Xi and said, "I'm a soft-hearted person, I really can't stand people begging me, so if you can get EVE to beg me once, I'll talk to my husband and get you into his company."
Asking Lin Xi to beg her!
Du Meimei really dared to say it.
After Du Meimei finished speaking, her gaze fell on Lin Xi.
If Lin Xi really did ask, it would prove that Du Meimei was superior to Lin Xi.
What about being the former school beauty?
Still had to beg her for a better job for her boyfriend, right?
Seeing Lin Xi not speaking, Du Meimei continued, "EVE, don't get me wrong, I just want to make sure how important he is to you. If you're just ordinary friends, I won't help, but if it's something special, I can still consider it..."
Hearing this, Lin Xi sighed helplessly and looked at Su Chen with a bit of resentment.
This guy, can't you just quietly eat your meal?
Must you make the atmosphere awkward?
Su Chen blinked innocently.
He just wanted to see for himself that so-called most impressive clothing company in Jiangdu City.
Lin Xi glanced over everyone and finally shook her head, opening her mouth to speak, "Xiaomei..."
