Chapter 721: Chapter 727: The Highest Contempt is Silence
Upon thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowen shouted, "What are you all doing gathered here? Don’t you need to work?"
As soon as she said this, everyone quickly dispersed.
Chu Xiaoge remained standing where she was, feeling a bit stiff all over.
It seemed... she had made enemies here... and not just anyone, but everyone? Just because of a single rose?
Lowering her gaze, Chu Xiaoge took the rose and returned to her office.
Half an hour later, Chu Xiaoge discovered that it wasn’t just a simple matter of one rose.
Because half an hour later, she received two more roses.
Another half an hour, she received four roses.
By the end of the morning, her desk was completely overtaken by roses!
And even now, she still didn’t know who was sending the flowers.
During her break, while Chu Xiaoge was eating in the company cafeteria, the flower delivery guy managed to find her...
At this point, the number of roses delivered at once was so many she couldn’t count them straight away...
Her colleagues around her, eating their meals, looked at her and whispered amongst themselves.
"She looks like such a pure and innocent girl. Who would have thought she’s so flirtatious? It’s only her second day at the company, and she already has a man sending her flowers? And every half an hour, the quantity sent doubles from last time. I checked the price of those roses, they’re not cheap!"
"Such a lavish gesture, could it be someone from our company?"
"Who knows... Anyway, I heard she didn’t even have an interview when she joined the company; Fang Fang just brought her in directly, and then Zhang Xiaowen made her a secretary."
Miao Miao listened to these gossiping colleagues and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "I think she came in through connections! She looks just like a vixen!"
"Miao Miao, do you know some inside information?"
"Of course I do," Miao Miao snorted dismissively, "Just wait and see! Someone as unsophisticated as her probably doesn’t even know how to read a schedule! Our president is meeting an important guest from the Lou Family this afternoon. She’s bound to make a fool of herself then!"
Someone nearby became curious, "A guest from the Lou Family is coming? How come we didn’t get any notice beforehand?"
"My dad has a close relationship with the Lou Family, so of course I knew," Miao Miao snorted, hardly touching her food, then got up and started walking toward Chu Xiaoge.
Also being a woman, Miao Miao wasn’t unattractive; with makeup, she could even be considered rather pretty, with a nice figure. Over the years, it’s not that no men pursued her, but they were all penniless and useless.
Yet as soon as Chu Xiaoge arrived, someone started pursuing her so extravagantly. It would be impossible not to feel jealous.
Miao Miao purposely looked around, ensuring Zhang Xiaowen was not there, before she swaggered over to Chu Xiaoge and sat down in front of her.
Her gaze was sharp, filled with hatred and hostility.
"Being too pretty in this company is not a good thing."
Thanks to Miao Miao’s doing, Chu Xiaoge always ate alone. Other colleagues either avoided Miao Miao out of fear or were intimidated by the table full of roses in front of Chu Xiaoge.
"..." Chu Xiaoge didn’t make a sound, nor did she lift her head to look at Miao Miao. She just quietly ate her meal.
She still couldn’t figure out who was sending the roses.
Did someone actually like her, or was it just to mess with her?
Miao Miao waited anxiously for a long time without getting a response from Chu Xiaoge, eventually losing her patience, "Hey! Are you deaf? Did you hear what I said or not?"
Chu Xiaoge still didn’t speak. The greatest contempt is silence.
