Chapter 699 - 705: Someone like him is out of my league.
Zhang Xiaowen couldn’t tell if Chu Xiaoge was being truthful or not, but she wasn’t really interested in finding out.
"No matter what your relationship is with Mr. Shang, let me give you a piece of advice. Mr. Shang giving you this job is already placing you. Just focus on doing your current job well, and don’t think about anything else. As colleagues, let me give you a friendly reminder: Mr. Shang and Miss Lou from the Lou Family are bound to get married sooner or later."
Although Zhang Xiaowen’s attitude was somewhat arrogant and imposing, and she didn’t want to smile kindly, her heart was not bad.
Seeing Chu Xiaoge, who was new and clumsy, Zhang Xiaowen couldn’t bear to see her stumble, so she added another sentence.
Mr. Shang, who never paid attention to the matters of his new subordinates, suddenly requested to promote a newcomer to be his secretary. If Zhang Xiaowen couldn’t see through this, she would have wasted all her years by Mr. Shang’s side.
The words "CEO" and "female secretary" put together are enough to spark imagination, especially since Chu Xiaoge’s aptitude wasn’t bad at all.
Naturally, Zhang Xiaowen assumed that Chu Xiaoge got in through connections because she had something with the CEO.
Chu Xiaoge didn’t know about the relationship between Shang Dongyuan and Lou Xinyu. Hearing this kind of news, she was almost stunned.
Lou Xinyu?
She vaguely remembered her as the campus belle of A University, who seemed to have given Ran Xiangsi some trouble back in the day!
Shang Dongyuan, he actually likes that kind of person?
Zhang Xiaowen saw Chu Xiaoge’s pale and dazed look and thought she had hit the nail on the head.
"People like us, given our background, shouldn’t expect too much. Take advantage of Mr. Shang’s current interest in you and see how far you can go. As for marriage... someone like him will only marry someone of equal social standing. You’re not dumb, you should understand." After saying that, Zhang Xiaowen took the card and went to pay for the clothes Chu Xiaoge had picked.
Chu Xiaoge remained, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
She had changed into an expensive set of clothes.
She looked somewhat unfamiliar, but had gained a bit of aura.
That’s right, Shang Dongyuan could never marry someone like her.
She had understood this long ago, which is why, after she left five years ago, she never sought Shang Dongyuan or even mentioned his name to her parents.
Wasn’t it because she was too self-aware?
"Someone like him, I can never match up to. Just being able to silently look at him a few more times is already enough... So, I just need to focus on working hard and making money now! Go Xiao Ge!"
After psyching herself up, Chu Xiaoge happily walked out with the clothes in her arms.
Zhang Xiaowen glanced at her, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
She had come in looking worried about money, but was leaving with such a happy smile?
Ah, another materialistic woman. Just a new set of clothes and she’s that happy...
...
A City First Hospital.
Outside the intensive care unit.
Chuchu opened her little backpack and took out the toys her mom had prepared for her.
Li Li didn’t know how to interact with her granddaughter at first, but when she saw her start playing with the toys, she tentatively started to communicate with her bit by bit.
"Chuchu, who bought these toys for you?"
Chuchu was holding a small Winnie the Pooh, proudly answering, "Mom bought them! The place where Mom used to work gave out these little gifts!"
