Chapter 333: Bribe

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Cheng Cheng had always felt that Yuan Shu didn’t trust her. Yuan Shu hadn’t even told her, Yuan Shu’s assistant, about such a big matter during the live broadcast last time. Cheng Cheng secretly brooded over it for a long time.

However, what Yuan Shu had told her today made her feel a little smug. She was happy to become Yuan Shu’s “person”, but was also a little confused. Why did Yuan Shu suddenly trust her?

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she subconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand. Yuan Shu made her pretend to accept Lin Xi’s bribe, and even said that it was fine for her to slander Yuan Shu behind her back, all for the sake of obtaining Lin Xi’s trust.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like money, but she felt that the source of the money had to be legitimate. The bracelet on her hand made her uneasy.

When she saw Lin Xi in the pantry, Cheng Cheng subconsciously hid the bracelet in her sleeve, but this small action was still seen by Lin Xi.

“This bracelet suits you very well. You have a good temperament and are young, so this type of design suits you.” Lin Xi had an earnest look on her face as she praised her. It was impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

There were a few other colleagues in the pantry. In less than a day, almost everyone knew that Lin Xi was Shi Xiao’s savior. Lin Xi looked innocent to begin with, and whenever she smiled, she looked even more amiable. She was always polite to others, which gave many colleagues a good impression of her.

Compared to the somewhat cold and aloof Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, the innocent and friendly Lin Xi was more popular in the company. Moreover, many people guessed that Lin Xi being able to become Shi Xiao’s assistant was probably a sign of her becoming the future lady boss, so many people curried favor with her.

When they heard Lin Xi praise Cheng Cheng, everyone’s gazes landed on Cheng Cheng’s wrist.

“Cheng Cheng, have you hit the jackpot? This is the latest edition golden bracelet from the PP brand. The design is so beautiful!”

“I wanted to buy it too, but the salesperson told me that it was pre-sale. How did you get it? Hurry up and let me see the real thing!”

“Just as Lin Xi said, this style really suits you quite well. It must be at least ten thousand yuan? How come you were willing to spend so much money?”

Under the praises of her colleagues, Cheng Cheng blushed. She wanted to explain, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud. She couldn’t tell her colleagues that the bracelet was given to her by Lin Xi, could she?

However, in Lin Xi’s eyes, everything was going according to her plan. She had investigated long ago and knew that Cheng Cheng was just a small assistant. In the past, Cheng Cheng wasn’t very well-liked in the company, but because Yuan Shu needed an assistant, Cheng Cheng was assigned to her.

Cheng Cheng’s salary wasn’t high, and girls were usually a little vain. As expected, a bracelet won her over.

If she was loyal to Yuan Shu, she would have sent the bracelet back long ago. How could it still be on her hand?

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain, Lin Xi smiled and said, “Cheng Cheng is Sister Yuan Shu’s assistant, so buying some jewelry is a piece of cake. I heard that leaders often give gifts to their assistants?”

Everyone looked at Cheng Cheng, but when they saw Cheng Cheng’s embarrassed expression, they knew that she definitely didn’t receive any gifts.

“Mrs. Shi… Miss Yuan really doesn’t know much about the ways of the world. Cheng Cheng works overtime with her every day, but Cheng Cheng hasn’t gotten any preferential treatment as a result.”

“That’s right. Didn’t the HR department increase some people’s salary a while ago? However, Miss Yuan didn’t try to help you get a raise as well, right?” “No way? Even my salary has increased by 500 yuan this month. Cheng Cheng, I really feel sorry for you. Some people are really not worthy of you treating her so well.”

Even though Zhao Mian didn’t allow everyone to discuss this matter in private, with Lin Xi around, everyone became bolder, in hopes that they could please this future lady boss.

Lin Xi also held Cheng Cheng’s hand as she said with heartache, “There are still many work-related matters I don’t understand, but I still understand the principle of being kind. If a company wants to retain talents, the salary and treatment can’t be too subpar. I’ll talk to Shi Xiao later and help you get a salary raise.”

She had always called Shi Xiao by his name in the company, making it seem like she and Shi Xiao were very close. Moreover, Shi Xiao didn’t show any unhappiness at all when she called him that in front of her colleagues a few times, so Lin Xi felt smug. After her colleagues saw this, they were even more certain of her relationship with Shi Xiao.

Cheng Cheng felt a little uneasy under her fervent gaze, but when she thought of Yuan Shu’s instructions, she finally said awkwardly, “Thank you..”
