Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Encountering Sang Ying at Jinsheng Mall

"Okay, then I’ll... focus on my work."

"Remember to eat on time. I’ll have Assistant Mo supervise you."

Lu Yunque’s stomach was already starting to act up. To avoid him becoming another one of those stereotypical CEOs with stomach problems, Yun Zijin reminded him one more time.

"Fine! My own assistant puts your words first now."

’Having a powerful backer really makes a difference, doesn’t it, Assistant Mo.’

Yun Zijin blinked, deciding to ignore the comment.

Lu Yunque walked Yun Zijin to the Lu Group’s executive elevator and added her fingerprint to the system.

From now on, whenever Yun Zijin came to the Lu Group, she wouldn’t have to squeeze into the elevators with the regular employees.

Yun Zijin let him do it. It was for her convenience, after all.

However, after registering her fingerprint, Yun Zijin pushed Lu Yunque out and didn’t let him get in the elevator with her. The food container ended up in Ling Qi’s hands.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Yun Zijin made a point of greeting the receptionist as she walked past the front desk, and apologized on behalf of Zero One and the others.

"It’s no problem, really! They were just anxious to find someone, I get it!"

The receptionist had indeed been scared at first, but Zero One and the others had only failed to restrain their imposing auras; they hadn’t done anything out of line.

When Assistant Mo came down later, she realized it had all been a misunderstanding.

’Still, I never imagined that Miss Yun, who looks so delicate and gentle, would travel with so many bodyguards. Walking with her must feel incredibly safe!’

Although the receptionist wasn’t holding a grudge, Yun Zijin still decided to bring her a small gift the next time she came to the Lu Group.

After leaving the Lu Group Building, Yun Zijin had Zero One and the others drive directly to Jinsheng Mall.

Returning to Jinsheng Mall after so long, Yun Zijin was as popular as ever.

"Zijin!"

Yun Zijin had just reached the entrance of the Hermes store when she heard someone call her name. She turned and was surprised to see it was Sang Ying, a colleague from her old internship.

"Sister Ying! Long time no see!"

However, Yun Zijin quickly noticed that Sang Ying wasn’t alone.

"Cousin, is this your friend?"

A flicker of hidden jealousy flashed in the eyes of the girl next to Sang Ying when she saw Yun Zijin, but she concealed it well.

’Seeing the bodyguards with Yun Zijin, she knew at a glance that she had to be rich or powerful.’

’She was jealous, but she wasn’t stupid.’

’Still, she never expected that her cousin, who made ten thousand a month at most, would actually know someone of such high status.’

As the girl spoke, Yun Zijin turned to look at her.

Although the jealousy was well-hidden, Yun Zijin could still see the undisguised calculation and ambition in her eyes.

"No, she was an intern at my company. A former colleague, I guess."

Sang Ying was clearly aware of what her cousin was like. Although she greeted Yun Zijin, she didn’t act overly familiar.

"An intern? Cousin, are you kidding me?"

’Someone who goes around with bodyguards, interning at the tiny company where Sang Ying works? What a terrible lie; she didn’t even think it through.’

"What she said is true. I did intern at the company where Sister Ying works for a while."

’Even though I wasn’t there for very long, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s true.’

Sang Ying’s cousin, not expecting to be contradicted so directly, wore a stiff expression. "Is that so? I just assumed that kids from rich families either go abroad or go to grad school after college. I never thought you’d intern at such a small company."

"It may be a small company, but it’s well-run. The business is good, and the boss is great. As far as I know, a lot of students in my year wanted to get in there."

Whether it was for an internship or in hopes of a full-time offer after.

’A small company doesn’t mean its business is bad.’

The expression on Sang Ying’s cousin’s face soured even more.

But in order to get acquainted with Yun Zijin, she forced herself to endure it. "Sister Zi Jin..."

"Don’t! I really don’t like it when people call me ’sister.’ My surname is Yun. You can just call me Miss Yun."

"Zijin is only a senior in college this year. You graduated two years ago. Calling her ’sister’ isn’t really appropriate."

Sang Ying landed another blow. How utterly savage.

Yun Zijin almost burst out laughing. Luckily, she was professional enough to cover her mouth and stifle it.

"AHEM... well, my SA has been waiting for me for a while. I’m going to head in. You two feel free."

With that, Yun Zijin turned and walked into the Hermes store.

"Miss Yun, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen you here."

Seeing Yun Zijin, the smile on Xu Qin’s face was much more genuine than usual.

’This was a client who spent millions at the drop of a hat. No matter when she showed up, I have to greet her with a 120-percent smile and sincerity.’

"I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had time to shop in person, but I’ve still been placing orders with you, haven’t I?"

’Just because I’m not here in person doesn’t mean I haven’t been spending money.’

"You’re right. What would you like to see today?"

"Miss Yun, my cousin said she wants to buy herself a bag to celebrate her 36th birthday today. Do you have any recommendations?"

Xu Qin had just finished speaking, and before Yun Zijin could reply, they were interrupted by Sang Ying’s cousin, who had suddenly come in.

’Yun Zijin furrowed her brow slightly. This cousin of Sang Ying’s... she’s as brainless as Xia Jiajiao.’

"Danlin, what nonsense are you talking about? Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to browse here, so I came with you? I never said I wanted to buy a bag here!"

Sang Ying was well aware of her own financial situation.

’Buy a bag at Hermes? I’m not crazy.’

"It’s Sister Ying’s birthday today?"

Yun Zijin actually didn’t know this. Although she and Sang Ying had a good relationship when they were colleagues, for something like a birthday, if the person herself didn’t mention it, it would be awkward for her to ask.

After all, she couldn’t just ask upon meeting her, "Sister Ying, when is your birthday? I want to get you a gift."

’How stupid would that be.’

Sang Ying nodded slightly. The birthday part was true. She had originally just planned to order a small cake and have a simple celebration at home with her husband and child.

But then Liu Danlin had suddenly shown up, insisting that Sang Ying go shopping with her. Since they were relatives, she couldn’t very well refuse, so she had to go out with her.

However, Sang Ying had been hoping to finish shopping early so she could still go home to celebrate with her husband and child.

But who could have guessed they’d run into Yun Zijin?

"I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Sister Ying carry a bag from this brand. Cousin, since you brought Sister Ying in today, are you planning to buy her a bag as a birthday present?"

Yun Zijin didn’t take Liu Danlin’s bait, instead turning the question back on her.

She knew Sang Ying would never lose her mind and decide to buy a bag at Hermes. Since it wasn’t Sang Ying’s idea to come, this cousin must have been the one stirring up trouble.

’Trying to mooch a Hermes bag off me? She should take a good look at herself and her place.’

Liu Danlin clearly hadn’t expected that not only would Yun Zijin refuse to take the bait, but she would also kick the ball back into her court.

She didn’t have money for a Hermes bag; she was only doing this because she saw that Sang Ying knew Yun Zijin and figured she could get some benefits out of her.

’After all, the cost of a single bag should be a trivial amount to someone like her.’
