Chapter 704: Chapter 710: Give Us the Money?
In the afternoon, some colleagues even came over to make friends with her, chat with her...
This is completely different from what she imagined a high-level secretary to be, right?
Finally, the workday was over. Chu Xiaoge packed her things and was just about to leave when Miao Miao brought a few people over.
"Xiao Ge, you just joined our secretarial department. Let me introduce some colleagues to you?" As she spoke, she pointed to the two people behind her.
When Chu Xiaoge looked over, the two people quickly nodded, "Yes, Sister Xiao Ge, there’s a café at the new plaza with amazing coffee! They just launched a new mousse. Want to join us and try it?"
These two looked quite young and were both secretary assistants, so naturally, they had to call Chu Xiaoge "Sister."
If Chu Xiaoge hadn’t gone through these tough five years, maybe she would have been like these girls, carefree, planning to meet for coffee and shopping after work.
But now things were different, everything was different.
Her father’s surgery fee was still being raised, and she had a daughter to take care of. She didn’t have the time or money to spend outside.
Looking a bit embarrassed, Chu Xiaoge awkwardly declined, "Sorry everyone, I... I have some family matters to attend to, so I can’t join you for coffee..."
As soon as Chu Xiaoge refused, Miao Miao and the two girls’ expressions changed instantly.
The two girls just looked a bit annoyed, probably too young to control their emotions.
As for Miao Miao, she still smiled sweetly. Hearing that Chu Xiaoge couldn’t go, she didn’t get angry but instead made a suggestion, "Oh... since you have things to do, that’s understandable. But I specifically told them you were treating, so they canceled their plans to come. If you can’t go, can you give us the money? We’ll go ourselves?"
Miao Miao’s salary wasn’t low, but her expenses were high.
Bullying and exploiting newcomers wasn’t illegal, and it improved her quality of life, so why not do it?
Chu Xiaoge didn’t expect that such a cute-smiling Miao Miao came to ask her for money.
At first, she thought they came to make friends with her, and she felt sorry for not being able to go.
She didn’t expect...
They just wanted her to foot the bill.
"How much?" Her tone wasn’t good, but Chu Xiaoge didn’t refuse.
She knew there were some rules to follow in a new place.
She didn’t want to break those rules; even buying herself some peace was worth it. She still needed to rush to the hospital.
Who knows how her father was doing, her mother caring for him alone while also looking after Chuchu. Did Chuchu miss her...
Miao Miao paused a moment and then said, "There are three of us, three coffees and three mousse cakes... five thousand, okay? After that, we could go sing for a while?"
She said the first part to Chu Xiaoge, and the latter to the two girls following her.
Upon hearing how fun it sounded, the two girls got excited and nodded eagerly.
"Sounds great!"
"We’re off tomorrow, we can have a blast!"
After nodding, Miao Miao turned back to Chu Xiaoge, "So, five thousand it is! If there’s any leftover, we’ll return it to you!"
"..." Chu Xiaoge’s eye twitched, and her face turned a bit ugly.
She thought buying a cup of coffee for the new colleagues wouldn’t cost much, but wanting five thousand all at once?
Isn’t that asking for too much?
