The receptionist politely said, “The assistant hasn’t told us anything yet. Please wait patiently, Miss Zhang. If we let you up now, not only will our salaries be deducted, but we might also be fired.”

Zhang Nuannuan frowned and asked, “Is there anyone up there now?”

The receptionist said, “Wen Group’s CEO and the Jian family’s young chairman are currently up there.”

“So, they’re discussing business?” Zhang Nuannuan asked tentatively.

“Miss Zhang, I’m just a receptionist,” said the receptionist with a smile.

In other words, how could she know what her boss was doing?

“Alright, I understand. You can leave,” said Zhang Nuannuan.

After saying that, she deliberately kicked the chest pad she was stepping on to the front desk.

The receptionist felt something fly to her side. She instinctively looked down, instantly stunned.

What was this? If she wasn’t mistaken, this was a chest pad. However, why was there such a thing here? Was it a prank? But today wasn’t April Fool’s Day!

Although she was confused, she quickly stepped on the chest pad and pretended to squat down to tidy up her pants. While doing so, she picked the chest pad up and held it tightly.

The chest pad’s sudden appearance in Li Group’s lounge would definitely damage the company’s reputation if anyone found out.

Zhang Nuannuan smiled when she saw the receptionist pick it up.

“Miss Li, did you pick something up just now?” she asked, feigning curiosity.

The receptionist replied, “No, Miss Zhang. You must’ve seen wrongly.”

She clutched the chest pad, feeling very awkward.

She couldn’t let Miss Zhang know what it was. If Miss Zhang misunderstood that she was the one who dropped it, it would be even more awkward.

However, Zhang Nuannuan wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity.

“Is it a sponge rag?” she deliberately asked. “Hmm, but the shape is too weird.”

A rag? The receptionist had an idea. She stiffly replied, “Ah, that’s right. This is the latest model of a sponge rag.”

Zhang Nuannuan frowned and said in disgust, “Oh, but this color is too old-fashioned. It’s so ugly.”

The receptionist awkwardly smiled, “It’s just a rag. The color doesn’t matter.”

“You’re right,” Zhang Nuannuan agreed. “Alright, you can go back to work.”

The receptionist nodded and quickly turned around to leave. She had to get rid of the chest pad as soon as possible.

At this moment, Bai Xue’s expression was very ugly, especially when she saw the ‘sponge rag’. It was, in fact, the thing that caused her uneven breasts.

“Miss Bai, what’s wrong with your face?” Zhang Nuannuan sarcastically asked. “Is it because of the rag? Hahahaha!”

Bai Xue was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She guessed that Zhang Nuannuan must’ve known it was her chest pad, doing it on purpose to embarrass her.

Bai Xue took a deep breath, generously taking out the other chest pad and putting it in her backpack. This way, her breasts wouldn’t be uneven anymore.

After putting the pad away, Bai Xue took the white sugar sachet and ripped it open.

Zhang Nuannuan saw Bai Xue’s actions, feeling superiority that the latter didn’t have.

On the other hand, Bai Xue also noticed the sarcasm in Zhang Nuannuan’s eyes and understood the woman’s demeanor. In an instant, her coffee wasn’t delicious anymore, with the sugar no longer as sweet.

She asked, “Miss Zhang, why are you looking at me like that? Are you jealous that I’m prettier and younger than you?”

“You’re just an ordinary girl,” Zhang Nuannuan said sarcastically.

Bai Xue bluntly said, “It’s already 10 o’clock, but they haven’t called you up yet. They probably ignored you, no?”

Zhang Nuannuan knew that Bai Xue was trying to provoke her, but how could she fall for such a silly method?

She said with disdain, “Miss Bai, are you saying that Li Yu doesn’t keep his promises?”

Bai Xue replied, “You… Don’t speak nonsense.”

She suddenly felt a little nervous. It seemed that provoking her was useless.

“Hmph!” Zhang Nuannuan snorted. “Li Yu never goes back on his word, but you said that he ignored my appointment. Aren’t you basically implying he doesn’t keep his promises? If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t skip me, right?”

Bai Xue was speechless, looking at Zhang Nuannuan with a dark expression.

She didn’t say anything more. After all, she had already said something wrong. She had to think carefully about what to say next to avoid being tricked by Zhang Nuannuan again.

Zhang Nuannuan mocked, “Idiot, do you really think Li Yu will love you just because you canceled his contract? You should wake up. You’d be lucky if he didn’t end up crippling you..”
