Chapter 334 Conspiracy 1 Bobo (3)
She slammed her hand on the table: "Do you even know who you're talking to? Believe me or not, I'll send you packing your bags and home to starve right now!"
Those around her were startled by her imposing manner and turned to look, pointing and whispering. Yan Zuozuo seemed oblivious, giving her a calm smile, "Just yesterday, someone threatened me, saying I could disappear from this world in a minute. Your line is clearly not vicious enough."
"You!" Juliet's face turned red with anger. She pointed at Yan Zuozuo and suddenly screamed, "You bad woman! You, you, you! I'll fire you right now! You disappear from here immediately!"
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?" After saying that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave, but she hadn't taken two steps when she heard Judy shout angrily, "Stop right there and come back here!"
Yan Zuozuo turned around, walked back to her seat, and smiled as she reached out her hand to her, "I'm glad you made the right choice. Can we start working now?"
Jusie was utterly speechless, filled with hatred for this woman. Who was Jusie to be completely fooled by such a woman? It was utterly humiliating!
Well, you, Yan Zuozuo, if you want to play with me, then I'll play along.
The two chatted quite pleasantly for the rest of the time. Although Judy couldn't resist trying to provoke her, Yan Zuozuo easily deflected her attempts. In her eyes, Judy was just a spoiled little girl who had been pampered, and compared to those with cruel hearts, she was quite adorable.
Judy was quite annoyed by her. Cute my foot! A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled slightly. "To be honest, Yan Zuozuo, you're quite to my liking. Let's be friends."
Yan Zuozuo looked at her with amusement: "I am honored that Miss Judy doesn't mind. I am really lucky to have met you."
Good to know!
Judy couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Looking at Yan Zuozuo, she was filled with arrogance. "I don't have many friends here, so it's fate that we can be friends. Here, I'll give you this necklace as a gift."
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, took the necklace and examined it. As expected of the little princess of the Bourbon family, she was indeed generous. She held it in her hand and touched it, as if she liked it very much.
Judy's eyes flashed with disdain as she looked at her. What's with the arrogance? She's just a money-grubber. She really doesn't know what her older brothers are thinking, forbidding her from hurting her. Humph!
After examining the necklace, Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "This necklace must be quite expensive, right? Miss Judy is really too kind of me to give it to me."
Judy pouted: "It's just a necklace, I have plenty at home. But this necklace is indeed quite expensive. It was a birthday gift from my older brother, and it's said to be worth thirty million."
You bumpkin, thirty million? That'll scare you to death in a second!
Yan Zuozuo immediately feigned fear and trepidation, quickly saying, "Miss Judy is so generous! On behalf of the children in the impoverished mountain area, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. However..."
She frowned slightly, looking quite troubled. "Those children don't need such extravagant things. Why don't you just exchange them for checks, Miss Jusie? I will definitely tell the children about your touching story. If you'd like, I can also arrange for reporters to interview you. What do you think?"
What's up?
Judy froze, looking completely bewildered. What was all this nonsense? Had Yan Zuozuo tricked her?
"Yan Zuozuo, you..."
“I have a recording here. Miss Jusie, you’re not planning to back out, are you? When are you going to give me the check? Hmm, maybe I can take the recording to Director Fisher and ask for it.” A hint of mockery flashed in Yan Zuozuo’s eyes.
Judy's pupils suddenly contracted. Holy crap, she had actually been tricked by Yan Zuozuo!
She gritted her teeth, wanting to explode, but she was worried that Yan Zuozuo would use this as leverage against her, making her lose face. She could only grit her teeth resentfully, "Yan Zuozuo, you dare to play me?"
Yan Zuozuo blinked innocently, hiding the smirk on her lips: "Excuse me, Miss Judy, what did you just say?"
"You!" Before she could vent her anger, she saw Yan Zuozuo reach out to her. "What are you doing?"
"Cheque."
"You, you, you, don't push your luck!" Judy was about to lose it. She had never seen anyone as shameless as Yan Zuozuo. Wasn't this blatant extortion? She was going to tell her older brothers!
However, before she could even take out her phone, she heard a familiar voice.
"Deputy Director!"
Yan Zuozuo looked up and saw Mi Xuer walking over. She was taken aback. Wasn't it working hours? Why was Mi Xuer here?
Wait a minute, what's with Mi Xu'er's expression when she sees Judy? Even though Judy is a bit of a delinquent, does she really need to be so terrified?
When Mi Xu'er saw Zhu Xi, she seemed terrified and turned to run away.
Julie was taken aback for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table, disregarding her image, and shouted, "Mi Xu'er, you stop right there!"
Mi Xuer trembled with fright, turned around cautiously, and looked at Judy with a cowering gaze.
Judy narrowed her eyes, looking like a little devil with two black wings sprouting from her back. Holding an iron fork, she approached her with a smile, "Mi Xu'er, it really is you. Long time no see."
"Yes, yes, it's been a long time." Mi Xuer said, her eyes darting away, avoiding Judy's gaze.
Yan Zuozuo walked over curiously: "You two know each other?"
Judy's lips curled into a malicious smile. "You know each other too?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Mi Xuer, a new designer in our company." She paused, then looked at Mi Xuer, "Do you know Miss Judy?"
Mi Xuer visibly stiffened, and when she met Judy's devilish gaze, she could only nod reluctantly.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Mi Xuer, then at Zhu Xi, sensing an odd atmosphere between the two. She lowered her eyes slightly and coughed lightly, interrupting their strange exchange, "Xuer, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, right, I'm here to deliver goods for the director. I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence." Mi Xuer quickly said, "I've already handed the clothes to the customer and I have to rush back to work, so I'll be going now."
Mi Xuer was clearly avoiding Judy, while Judy, like a mischievous cat teasing a mouse, looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't go, it's been a long time. Why don't you sit down and have a drink together? It's on me."
"No, no, no, I have other things to do, let's do it another day." Mi Xuer couldn't wait to go outside, and she didn't even realize that she had bumped into someone before running away in a panic.
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched; what a chaotic meeting. Judy, on the other hand, seemed quite interested, a sly glint in her bright eyes. "Yan Zuozuo, are you free tonight?"
"Huh?" Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"I'm having a welcome dinner tonight. Come find me, and I'll give you the 30 million while I'm at it. Oh, and bring Mi Xu'er too. We haven't seen each other in ages; it's time we caught up."
"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but then she saw Zhu Xi raise her hand to look at her watch, "I'll pick you up tonight. Even if it's just for the children in the impoverished mountain areas, I believe you, Zuozuo, will be able to persuade Mi Xuer to participate."
Yan Zuozuo's mouth twitched. Could this be considered digging her own grave?
She wasn't clear about the relationship between Mi Xuer and Zhu Xi, and it would be irresponsible of her to agree to Zhu Xi's request so rashly. She frowned and said seriously, "Mi Xuer is my subordinate at work, but she has her own freedom outside of work. I'm afraid I can't help her with this."
Judy raised an eyebrow: "Fine, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. See you tonight."
Yan Zuozuo watched Zhu Xi's departing figure, her brows furrowed tightly, a faint unease passing through her heart.
At 8 PM, Yan Zuozuo, still dressed in professional attire, appeared at the hotel where Judy was welcoming her. The enormous hotel banquet hall was filled with a chaotic atmosphere; colorful lights flashed, and music blared. Many people were smoking, and the air was thick with acrid fumes.
Mi Xuer followed cautiously behind Yan Zuozuo, seemingly uninterested in sightseeing. Yan Zuozuo had been observing her the whole way; she was clearly afraid of seeing Judy, so why had she agreed to attend the welcome banquet?
Mi Xuer has changed her outfit, returning to the simple look from the photos. However, instead of sportswear, she's wearing a plain white dress, which makes her look fresh and radiant.
"Xu'er, are you sure you want to go in? It's not too late to back out now," she couldn't help but ask.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Mi Xuer's eyes, but she finally nodded and said, "Since we're already here, of course we should go in." After saying that, she took a deep breath, as if to bolster her courage.
Since she had already said so, Yan Zuozuo couldn't stop her. Although she was a little worried, she could only silently protect her from the side. Before stepping inside, she didn't forget to tell her, "Tell me if anything happens. Let me know if you want to leave early."
Mi Xuer smiled at her, her eyes full of gratitude.
As they entered the banquet hall, the shrill music grew louder, the smoke thickened, and the air was filled with wild laughter—truly a feast for young people.
Yan Zuozuo had no interest in the noisy banquet. She pulled Mi Xuer to sit in a corner, thinking she'd just show up, take the check, and leave. It just so happened that the company was doing charity work. Anyway, the Bourbon family had plenty of money, and Judy probably wouldn't care so much about 30 million, but it was very important to the children in impoverished mountain areas. Why not take it?
However, they had just sat down when they suddenly heard someone exclaim, "Look who's here, Mi Xu'er!"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy banquet hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to look...
The scene was spectacular, and Yan Zuozuo was also startled. What kind of ghostly situation was this?
But before she could even react, a crisp clapping sound suddenly rang out, "Let's welcome Mi Xuer back together, give her some face and give her a round of applause."
As soon as Judy finished speaking, the previously scattered applause erupted into a thunderous roar. Just then, Judy, holding her glass, walked up to Mi Xuer and asked, "Would you do me the honor?"
Mi Xuer didn't move, but when she saw the glass of wine, her face suddenly turned deathly pale.
