Mi Nuo ate her lunch elegantly. Everyone at the table looked to each other, and one of them finally plucked up the courage to ask,
Boss Mi, who’s the new girl at work?
Mi Nuo curled her lips, swallowed her food, and then replied slowly,
Why?
The Group is not hiring now, but there’s suddenly a new employee. We are just curious, is she…
The speaker pointed upwards.
Is she a relative of some executives?
Mi Nuo paused and put down her chopsticks. She saw many curious onlookers from neighbouring tables and replied,
What are you talking about, I never heard she had some relative, but…
Everyone’s eyes brightened at the word
but
in anticipation of some juicy gossip.
Mi Nuo laughed at their looks.
I know she had exhibited great talent for design in university, and that’s why she was hired. Count her lucky. She’s still young, so please take care of her at work from now on.
Her words brought different expressions on the crowd at the table. They all appeared to have accepted the explanation, but each had developed her own theories.

Zhuang Nainai had a big lunch upstairs and also accompanied Si Zhengting for some tea and dessert. It was 1 pm sharp when his secretary brought in more documents and she was allowed to leave.
She ambled in the stairwell, feeling bored at the thought of having to sit in her desk for the next few hours with nothing to do.
Even though Ji Chen had not disclosed her identity, her coworkers must have debated and speculated at it when she arrived so abruptly in the office. No one would dare to give her any work before they’ve figured out her identity!
Zhuang Nainai sighed and walked slowly back to her desk.
Lunch at the Imperial Group was one hour, but the employees normally resume work at 1:30 pm. There was an unspoken rule that an additional half hour of rest time was to be given by the supervisors.
Therefore, the employees in the Group were still lazing around on their own.
Zhuang Nainai was about to sit down at her desk when the team leader for venue design suddenly walked up to her.
Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes shone. Was she going to be assigned work?
She looked up to see the serious unsmiling face of Zhang Chaowen. He frowned and reprimanded,
Zhuang Nainai, did you not read the company rules and guidelines sent to you this morning?
Company rules and guidelines?
Zhuang Nainai looked at him blankly.
Zhang Chaowen scoffed.
We start work at 1 pm here. Why are you back at your seat so late?
Zhuang Nainai was bewildered. She turned to see everyone else going about their own activities.
It was apparent that more than half of the employees on the venue design team had not returned from lunch. Why was Zhang Chaowen turning a blind eye on them and targeting her specifically?
Do you not have any self-initiative as a newcomer?! Late for your first day of work, do you not know discipline? Let me tell you, don’t get all proud and cocky just because you are talented, you are still young and you need to play by the rules and take it one step at a time!
Zhuang Nainai frowned. What did this Zhang Chaowen want?
She was only here for an hour, how was she proud and cocky?
Damn it!
She felt her rage burn.
