"I have chosen to work as an intern. Go back to sleep, there's breakfast on the table." Du Jiuyuan then left.
The day before Du Jiuyuan's birthday, she was accepted to work as an intern by a fashion magazine company. The salary was not high, but it was still an income nonetheless.
She had graduated five years ago, and the golden period of her career was tied down by her marriage. Due to this, it was not easy to find a job with good conditions.
Du Jiuyuan went to the company to report her attendance. After she received her work tag and daily office supplies, she began to get ordered around. She did not even have time to catch her breath for the whole morning.
At noon, Du Jiuyuan did not have the appetite to eat, thus she continued to work.
"Du Jiuyuan." The chief editor called Du Jiuyuan's name immediately upon her arrival in the afternoon.
"I'm here." Du Jiuyuan's patience had been pushed to the limits today, yet she had no choice but to bite her tongue and carry on with her duties.
"This is the celebrity costume for the shoot later. Go and send it over." The chief editor said while looking at Du Jiuyuan with a solemn expression.
Du Jiuyuan nodded and took the clothes from the chief editor. She calmly walked out of the office, completely ignoring the sympathetic looks of her colleagues.
Du Jiuyuan did not know anything about this female celebrity, thus she directly sent the clothes to the dressing room.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard a woman's fierce voice coming from inside. "You handed me such hot coffee to drink. Are you trying to burn me to death?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to, uh..."
"Get out of here..."
The door was pulled open from the inside, and Du Jiuyuan saw a very thin and small girl exit. Her face was splashed with coffee. She scrambled out of the room with her head lowered.
"Hello, these are the clothes and shoes for the shoot later," Du Jiuyuan said in a programmed manner.
She was just about to go in and hang up the clothes when the woman sitting in front of the makeup mirror snatched the clothes away and roughly examined them.
"What trash is this? I've really spoiled you. You dare to bring me ugly clothes such as these? Do you take me for a fool? Do you think that I am unaware about you renting Lin Qing some high-quality clothes from LV? Am I not as worthy as her?" The woman tore the clothes and threw them at Du Jiuyuan.
Du Jiuyuan did not manage to dodge in time and was hit by the clothes. Her fair skin instantly turned red.
"Miss Wang, these is the clothes that the clothing department has confirmed with your team. The cost is a total of 158,000 yuan. Please pay as soon as possible. If you have any objections, you can communicate with your own team. There's no need to waste money and time here." Du Jiuyuan frowned but still delivered her message in a calm tone.
Within the past five years in the Ji family, she had suffered her fair share of bad treatment, thus she knew how to make such a rude person calm down. That was why she reported the cost of the clothing.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you come here and challenge me?" Despite saying this, Wang Xiaoxiao's imposing manner had obviously decreased. She was unsure whether Du Jiuyuan was telling the truth or not.
Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at Du Jiuyuan's work tag from the corner of her eyes. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the words "Intern".
"A mere intern dares to act all mighty? Looks like your chief editor doesn't know how to discipline people. Let me help her!"
Initially, Wang Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard how calmly Du Jiuyuan carried herself, but she became furious upon learning that Du Jiuyuan was merely a low-rank employee. She raised her hand and was about to hit Du Jiuyuan.
Du Jiuyuan was about to dodge, but all of a sudden, Wang Xiaoxiao's wrist was grabbed by someone.
"CEO... CEO Ji, why are you here?" Wang Xiaoxiao was about to explode in anger, but then she saw the face of the man who held her back. She was instantly dumbfounded.
In Hong Kong, there was no one who did not know Ji Jingchen. Not only did he come from a very strong family background, but he was also extremely good-looking.
His facial features looked as though they were perfectly carved. His sharp eyebrows and eyes seemed to have starlight flowing through them. Plenty of people were constantly falling head over heels for him.
Du Jiuyuan was slightly startled. 'Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be at the branch office in the United States right now?'
After 2 months, 23 days, and 15 hours, Du Jiuyuan no longer felt the excitement and joy from before upon seeing Ji Jingchen's face. These emotions were replaced with endless vicissitudes of life.
Ji Jingchen let go of his hand and slowly took out a handkerchief. He carefully wiped his hand, as if he had touched something dirty.
The scene was very awkward.
"CEO Ji, why are you here?" Wang Xiaoxiao ignored the act of Ji Jingchen wiping his hand and asked in a gentle tone.
Ji Jingchen glanced at Jiang Cheng beside him. Jiang Cheng instantly understood and stood in front. He gave Wang Xiaoxiao, who was about to move closer towards Ji Jingchen, a merciless shove.
Wang Xiaoxiao staggered and was about to fall. Fortunately, her fall was broken by a nearby makeup artist.
"You don't have the right to discipline my wife. Prepare to be blacklisted from the entertainment industry!" Ji Jingchen's words completely stunned Wang Xiaoxiao.
