Film and Television World Life Record

Liang Shuang snorted and said, "Looks like you don't know yet, he already knew about my ground promotion. Only you two are making a fuss, thinking that this can ruin my image."

Jiang Xiaoguo was a little surprised: "He already knew? How come I never heard him mention it?"

Liang Shuang said, "What reason could there be? We're just not that close! You're an ex-girlfriend, why should I tell you these things?"

"Remember when we had dinner together last time? I had just finished a promotional event, and he treated me to dinner because he saw how hard I had worked."

Jiang Xiaoguo's face darkened, and she felt a pang of bitterness. When had their relationship become so close?

Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's expression, Liang Shuang was in a good mood.

"For the sake of us being roommates, I'll delete the video and let you off this time. Just don't try this kind of low-IQ trick again."

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded dejectedly.

Liang Shuang tossed the phone to Duan Jiabao and glared at her, saying, "Duan Jiabao, this is a one-time thing. If I find out there's a next time, you know what will happen."

Duan Jiabao quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, there will absolutely be no next time."

Watching Liang Shuang leave, Duan Jiabao patted his chest with lingering fear and then video-chatted with Jiang Xiaoguo again.

"Xiao Guo, I'm so sorry! Liang Shuang was so scary back then. She wanted her phone, so I had to give it to her."

Jiang Xiaoguo comforted her, saying, "It's okay, Da Bao, it's not your fault. You were helping me too."

"Besides, what we're doing isn't exactly aboveboard. So be it, I admit it this time."

"I refuse to believe that I, Jiang Xiaoguo, will be defeated by Liang Shuang."

Duan Jiabao said, "Xiao Guo, I support you. You will definitely win."

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded bitterly, though she felt a little guilty inside.

After finishing her video call with Jiang Xiaoguo and enjoying a delicious meal, Duan Jiabao returned to the company, where a colleague told her that Boss Qian was looking for her.

In the general manager's office, Duan Jiabao knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "President Qian, what can I do for you?"

Mr. Qian looked up at her, but before he could speak, a woman sitting next to him said, "You're Ouyang Yushuang's assistant. Let me ask you, she's just a minor actress in a web series, a celebrity on variety shows, and you're taking her to five-star hotels and putting her in first class. Our Sister Fei is a big-screen actress. If it weren't for the client's arrangement, according to company rules, she should only be able to fly business class."

"Also, yesterday our Fei-jie posted about a late-night snack of crayfish, and you guys immediately followed up with a meal of red wine and steak. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to outdo us?"

Mr. Qian also looked troubled, staring at Duan Jiabao and asking, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Duan Jiabao hesitated before saying, "I'm sitting in first class because I'm not used to economy class!"

Mr. Qian said, "She said she wasn't used to sitting in that position, so you changed it for her?"

Duan Jiabao said embarrassedly, "It's not that Sister Shuang isn't used to sitting here, it's that I'm not used to sitting here!"

Fearing that Mr. Qian might misunderstand Ouyang Yushuang, she quickly explained, "It takes almost three hours to fly from Shenzhen to Kunming, and I couldn't bear to leave her alone in economy class, so I upgraded her too!"

Faced with such a compelling reason, Mr. Qian was speechless. There are plenty of spoiled and willful artists, but he had never seen such a spoiled and willful manager before.

Suppressing his anger, he continued, "What about the five-star hotel?"

Not disappointing Mr. Qian, Duan Jiabao whispered, "I changed my mind to staying in a five-star hotel because I like to watch TV while taking a bath!"

Mr. Qian rubbed his forehead: "So, you want to eat steak too?"

Duan Jiabao said, "No, this is not it. The steak was for Shuang Jie. She said Fei Jie..."

Mr. Qian interrupted, "No one can eat it!"

"Five-star hotel, first class, and steak with red wine—what were you thinking? Who are you planning to ask to reimburse you for this?"

Duan Jiabao quickly waved his hand to explain, "No, Mr. Qian, I paid for it myself, so the company doesn't need to reimburse me!"

"You..." President Qian swallowed hard. The reason was too convincing, and he choked on his own saliva.

After calming her chaotic emotions, she continued, "Duan Jiabao, do you think you can justify paying for everything? From now on, everyone will be asking me to fly first class and stay in five-star hotels. Are you going to pay for all that money?!"

"Ah!" Duan Jiabao was startled when he heard that the consequences were so serious.

"Mr. Qian, how much money do you need?"

Mr. Qian glared at her speechlessly: "What? You still want the company to reimburse you?"

Duan Jiabao asked cautiously, "But, Mr. Qian, what should we do?"

Mr. Qian waved his hand: "You can go out now and wait for the results."

Duan Jiabao said dejectedly, "Mr. Qian, I'll be going now!"

After watching Duan Jiabao leave the office, President Qian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly, "Sigh! Rich kids, they really are a handful!"

Duan Jiabao was feeling anxious about work, while Jiang Xiaoguo spent a few happy days in Shenzhen with her mother before sending her back to Northeast China, and only then did she focus her energy on her work.

She is still working at the financial center, but due to Li Mu's influence, she did not leave the company as depicted in the drama; she has already been promoted to a permanent position.

That day, Jiang Xiaoguo arrived at the company as usual, first making herself a cup of ginger tea, and then began organizing the interview materials given to her by her supervisor.

Although she has already joined the company, as a new recruit, she is currently only doing odd jobs.

While organizing and revising the interview materials, I chatted with my colleagues and gossiped.

Just then, Supervisor Guo passed by and glared at her: "Jiang Xiaoguo, are you so free? You still have time to chat? Hurry up, we'll need the interview materials later."

Jiang Xiaoguo forced a smile: "Understood, Manager Guo, right away."

After Supervisor Guo left, Jiang Xiaoguo showed a hint of helplessness. Perhaps it was because she had gotten too close to the previous supervisor, Sister Yi, and was regarded as her protégé. The new Supervisor Guo, who had not been there for long, always disliked her and often found opportunities to say a few words to her and pick on her.

As a newcomer, all I could do was endure it and use my talent for flattery to defuse the targeting.

After working for a while longer, the interview materials were finally organized. Jiang Xiaoguo wrote an interview outline, made a cup of coffee, and went into Supervisor Guo's office.

"Manager, coffee, here are the interview materials you requested. I've also included an interview outline."

After glancing at the coffee Jiang Xiaoguo brought over, Manager Guo smiled. At least she had some sense. She took the interview materials and outline and looked them over. Not bad.

Turning to another young man beside him, he instructed, "Xiao Liu, you'll be coming with me for the interview this afternoon. Get ready!"

Xiao Liu nodded happily.

Jiang Xiaoguo felt frustrated. This Xiao Liu had arrived even later than her, yet she had more opportunities. Jiang Xiaoguo was still doing odd jobs every day, while Xiao Liu frequently got the chance to go out for interviews.

"Manager Guo, I..." Jiang Xiaoguo was not one to accept her fate and was about to say something.

Manager Guo glanced up at her.

"Jiang Xiaoguo, are you bored? Why aren't you going out to work? What are you doing standing here!"

Jiang Xiaoguo immediately wilted.

"Oh, I know."

Jiang Xiaoguo walked out dejectedly after failing to get a chance to participate in the carefully prepared interview materials, and despite her hard work, Supervisor Guo still didn't seem to like her.

She was getting tired of this kind of life and this kind of work environment, but she had finally been promoted to a permanent position, so she couldn't just leave and had to keep going.

A short while later, Manager Guo called a meeting with the department staff in the small conference room to discuss the next few interview assignments. After saying just a few words, he touched his pocket, realized he didn't have his phone with him, and subconsciously got up to go back to his office to get it.

A senior employee who loved to flatter Manager Guo stopped him with a smile.

"Manager Guo, this is a small matter, you don't need to do it."

He glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and said, "Those who don't have interview assignments don't actually need to attend this meeting. Just help out with errands and logistics."

Despite her displeasure, Jiang Xiaoguo put on a defiant air in front of her colleagues and got up to leave the small office.

Feeling dejected, I went to Manager Guo's office.

Jiang Xiaoguo looked around, searching for her phone, when she suddenly saw some messages pop up on the PC version of WeChat on Manager Guo's computer.

"Warm-hearted brother, when are you free?"

"Warm-hearted brother, it's been so long!"

"Honey, are you working overtime tonight?"

"If we have some free time, shall we go to the hotel and book the baby's one-month celebration?"

......

Looking at the information on the computer screen, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but widen her eyes. Manager Guo had a wife and children, yet he was still flirting with other people online.

Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but flip through the records, and what she saw was even more outrageous. Although she disliked Manager Guo, it was just that—dislike. But what she saw there was too much for her to bear.

Jiang Xiaoguo hated scumbags more than anything in her life, because her father was just such a scumbag. When she was very young, he abandoned her and her mother to depend on each other for survival to be with another woman. Manager Guo not only had a wife, but also a baby who was already a month old, yet he could do such a thing.

Jiang Xiaoguo felt even more disgusted with him.

……

Two days later, Jiang Xiaoguo packed her personal belongings and was about to leave the company.

Behind her, Manager Guo roared angrily. Unlike Jiang Xiaoguo, who resigned voluntarily after talking with the company, Manager Guo was fired.

"Jiang Xiaoguo! Look what you've done!"

Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at Manager Guo, then pressed the elevator button and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"Jiang Xiaoguo, did you report me? Did you? You actually reported me to the company!"

While waiting for the elevator to come down, Jiang Xiaoguo calmly said, "No!"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo denied it, Manager Guo became even angrier.

"What, you dare to do it but not admit it? If you didn't do it, why did you resign?"
