Page 548 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

The employees had already started to disregard Lan Xing, clinging directly to Jian Ran’s coattails.

So when they addressed Lan Xing, they abandoned any respectful titles such as manager and just called her by name.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran pursed her lips when she heard the women’s clamorous chatter.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, eh?

"I was just luckier than others, it really surprised me as well."

"Jian Ran, don’t be so modest, it’s all to do with talent..."

"Isn’t that the truth? Pretty people like you naturally have an inherent advantage; men are always propping you up..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran’s lips curled slightly as she listened to the female employee’s lukewarm and sarcastic words.

Looks like they were insinuating that she got her position through the support of men.

Jian Ran had no intention of getting more involved, but upon hearing this, Lan Xing, swaying her serpent-like waist, approached her, her eyes filled with malice.

"Jian Ran, I’ve seen the designs you worked on...they are really good..."

Jian Ran: "..."

As expected...

Where there are women, there are rivers and lakes.

Jian Ran did not say much. Lan Xing was still in charge of the design department; in terms of both emotion and reason, Jian Ran still addressed her as manager.

"Thank you for the praise, manager. I’ll keep working hard."

Seeing how calm and composed Jian Ran was, Lan Xing was filled with irritation because the more Jian Ran acted like this, the more she seemed to show Lan Xing up, making her look like she was jumping at her own shadow. Lan Xing utterly loathed her for this.

Ever since Jian Ran had arrived, everything seemed to have changed for the worse.

Jian Ran was undoubtedly her nemesis.

Lan Xing took a deep breath, stepped closer to Jian Ran’s side, and whispered venomously into her ear so that only the two of them could hear: "Humph...we shall see. Don’t think that just because your performance far exceeds mine at the moment, you have the design department manager position in the bag.

.. Jian Ran, I will show you what it means to be cunning with age. "

Jian Ran’s lips twitched at the remark.

Deep down...the vague onset of an extremely unpleasant feeling...

It seemed she was already caught in a scheme.

It was difficult to make a move.

Lan Xing, content after seeing Jian Ran’s complexion change ever so slightly, satisfiedly left her side.

"Jian Ran, you’d better work hard. Newcomers who climb too fast can fall hard and break apart, you know."

Jian Ran: "..."

Quite a peculiar flower indeed.

Such a white lotus.

Jian Ran narrowed her eyes gently and listened to Lan Xing’s words, her lips once again curving into a slight arc, as graceful and distinctive as a daisy.

"Thank you for your considerate advice, Manager Lan Xing...I’ll keep it in mind.

But...I’ve also heard a saying, ’to the capable go the spoils.

’ People should aspire to positions that suit them.

However, if someone occupies a place for a long time without doing anything, they’re no different from a walking corpse. "

After a pause, Jian Ran’s smile was bright and utterly appropriate.

"Manager Lan Xing...your affairs...I imagine there are plenty of unspeakable secrets too, right?"

At this point, Jian Ran successfully saw Lan Xing’s face turn ashen as she sat down at her desk.

"Manager, I need to work now. Please... if there is nothing else, you may go."

"Humpf... just you wait and see."

Lan Xing glared at Jian Ran fiercely then sashayed away.

The other female employees also quickly scattered... so ferocious, so frightening.

Where there are women, there is catfighting...

And war.

...

Jian Ran took a deep breath, ready to flip through her original design sketches, and just as she was about to open the phone on her desk, she unexpectedly saw that her computer had blue-screened.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Everything was fine when I left, so why... did the computer break down all of a sudden?
