Capítulo 37: Wan Jia's welcome gift

"This is Su Ling, your new colleague." Mo Zilian introduced her friend proudly. Su Ling smiled and the other employees except Wan Jia faked smiles. Why would she smile if she didn't want to? She didn't want to grace a schemer with the opportunity to see her beautiful smile.

"While she looks extremely cute, Su Ling is much better than designing than other newcomers." Everyone knew what she meant by 'other newcomers' After all, she had been so much against Wan Jia right from the first day and deliberately made things difficult for her.

They looked at Su Ling. Extremely cute? She was just another face reeking of too much cosmetic surgery and thick make up to cover up for the flaws. They had been with Wanjia for three weeks and could hardly take their eyes off her. She also had a good temper and although she was always busy even at lunch hour and rarely talked to them, they knew clearly that it was out of the urgency of her work and not arrogance. This Su Ling seemed to be just like their vice president.

Everyone knew Mo Zilian became the vice president only after literally begging her father and she actually had no skills in her job. Her job was always done behind the scenes by people hired by her father and the VP post was just but a name. All the employees had significantly more work to do thanks to their vice president who only knew to put on airs in the company and walk around in every department to hire and fire people as she pleased.

Everyone lit a candle for the CEO in their hearts. His hard work would very soon go to waste in the hands of this useless daughter of his. The design department instantly disliked this Su Ling. After all, birds of a feather flock together. A friend of such a useless person would also be just as useless.

"Let Su Ling show you her drafts." The woman took out a file and gave it to be passed around. It received nods of satisfaction from everyone. Finally it got to Wan Jia. These were the drafts from her missing file! She had only transferred them into another one.

"Is there something wrong, Wan Jia?" Mo Zilian asked mockingly.

"Of course not! Miss Su's is quite talented. Why would there be a problem. Unless these designs don't belong to her?" Wan Jia mocked back.

"You! What nonsense are you spewing?" Mo Zilian instantly exploded.

From the short exchange and the knowledge that Mo Zilian always lost her temper if someone uncovered her schemes, they could roughly guess what was happening. This deepened their disgust towards Su Ling even further.

Mo Zilian swallowed her anger. She would deal with Wan Jia very soon.

"You have all seen what Su Ling can do. Therefore the company has decided in the last minute to nominate her for the Golden Rookie Awards."

Silence followed. Hadn't the company nominated Wan Jia?

It was as if Mo Zilian read their thoughts. "The company did indeed nominate Wan Jia but has any of you seen a single piece of her work?" she sneered. "I haven't either, so she'll be replaced by our capable designer here." Then she looked into Wan Jia's direction.

"Don't worry honey, better luck next time."

"Pfft…" Wan Jia couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. She held her tummy and laughed her soul out. Her laughter was infectious and soon the whole room was vibrating in laughter.

"What are you all laughing at?" Mo Zilian was irritated.

Wan Jia was stunned. So this was their plan? The grand plan they had used up days of eternal scheming to come up with? She looked at them like twin idiots.

She thought that since Mo Zilian was good for nothing, she should be an expert schemer capable of ruining the entire nation. Who knew she would turn out to be such a rookie even in the only thing she was good at? Wan Jia suddenly wondered just how exactly this woman had successfully seduced Lu Aotian in the past. She felt ashamed on his behalf.

Mo Zilian ordered Su Ling to have a seat before she left. The latter looked around and no one welcomed her to seat next to them, so she could only grit her teeth and head towards the back. Mmh… she was going to pass near Wan Jia. She tittered proudly in her extremely long high heels with her chest puffed up. Apparently she was concentrating on Wan Jia but on the handsome guy sitting closest to her. There was a lot space around every work station for convenience but Su Ling purposely used the path between Wan Jia and the handsome guy intending to make him notice her and at the same time to do something naughty like stepping on Wan Jia.

Everyone obviously knew what she was thinking and shot her looks of disgust.

Wan Jia was getting impatient waiting for her. Is she a snail? I have better thing to do than this.

Just when she was going to kick Wan Jia, she suddenly felt pain in her ankle. "Aaaah!" she screamed and felt herself go down backwards. To save herself, she instinctively held onto the first thing she could catch. Unfortunately, it was the open bottle of water Wan Jia had placed near the edge in respect of her 'welcome'. The water poured all over her face and chest. All dignity lost, she hoped for the handsome guy to hold her but all she heard was a thud as she felt excoriating pain on her backside.
