He was really embarrassed about his subordinates bumping into him like this.

Zheng Yuntong went into the house after saying goodbye to Shen Zongyi. After this, she kept her word and did not make fun of Xu Moyan about what had happened.

She had to make sure to limit her joking as, if she pushed Xu Moyan into a corner, she might get mad.

She passed by Xu Moyan’s room while on the way to her to change her clothes but quickly realized that Xu Moyan’s door was closed. Xu Moyan must have been hiding under the covers out of embarrassment. Thusm Zheng Yuntong simply laughed quietly as she went back into her room.

...

The next day, Xu Moyan arrived at her office and saw all her single and married female colleagues surrounding an office table.

It was the seat of a female colleague, Sun Huijie, who had applied for leave because she was getting married. Now that Xu Moyan thought about it, today was when she was due to restart work after being on leave for a while.

“We went for our honeymoon in Europe where my husband bought this handbag for me,” Sun Hujie said with a smile on her face. There was a newly-wed happiness that was clear in her expression as her face glowed red with health. She could not stop talking at the mere mention of her husband.

Sun Huijie’s husband worked as a departmental manager at an international company. He was not considered especially well-to-do but for someone his age, but he was earning quite a high salary. Many women would view him as a good match if he were to be a candidate in the matchmaking scene.

“You have such a wonderful husband,” a single young lady commented enviously.

“Yes, I do. I have no idea where he learned to be such a romantic. When we were in France, I fell in love with this particular handbag and wondered why he wouldn’t take the initiative to buy it for me. What I didn’t expect was to see this handbag placed at the foot of my bed with a bow tied to it the next morning. It was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes! The bow was really tied badly, and I could tell that he did it himself with one look. However, he said that he secretly bought it when he saw that I liked it and that it was meant as a surprise for me,” Sun Huijie smiled.

“Wow, I’m so envious. Big Sister Sun, I am really so envious of you. Look at you. Your family does quite well and you are a local from B City. There is no need for you to worry about matters like purchasing a car or a property. You have lived a much more convenient life than the rest of us so far, but now you’ve even landed yourself a husband who earns a high salary. Not only that, but he’s also good-looking and treats you well. Just look at me. I haven’t even found myself a boyfriend yet. I’m not even asking my future boyfriend to be as great as your husband – in fact, even if he is slightly worse off than your husband, I’d be willing to take him,” the young lady, Tao Tingshan, who had previously spoken out enviously said out loud.

“What is there to be envious about. If Lil’ Sun finds someone suitable, we’ll get her to introduce him to you. Your husband’s company is so big, so there is bound to be quite a number of single men, right? If there is someone suitable, you can introduce him to Lil’ Tao,” replied Big Sister Zhou, who was standing beside them.

“Sure. I’ll check with my husband when I get home. Even if there is no one suitable from his office, he can help you keep an eye out for clients when he is out discussing business,” Sun Huijie replied. Despite saying this, she felt that the fact that Tao Tingshan was from outside the city, combined with her ordinary background, did not make her the most appealing option.

If she wanted to live permanently in B City, her family could not be able to offer her much help. Even if Sun Huijie did introduce someone to her, he would not necessarily be someone with good family conditions.

“Oh yeah, this is for all of you. It’s chocolate I bought from Belgium,” Sun Huijie said as she took out a few boxes of chocolates from a paper bag to distribute to the gang.

Just then, Big Sister Zhou spotted Xu Moyan walking in and waved her over. “Moyan is here. Come over, quick. Lil’ Sun brought us chocolates.”

“This is for you, Moyan,” Sun Huijie gave some chocolates to Xu Moyan.

They did not really suare an especially close relationship, but they were not on bad terms either. Sun Huijie knew how to get into people’s good books, but she was also prone to laziness. Even so, she was smart enough to push most of her work onto Xu Moyan.

On the other hand, Xu Moyan was not very calculative when it came to work. As such, Sun Huijie was smart and would always push small jobs onto her. They were not important tasks, but they did not require a lot of effort as they were often tedious. In addition to this, it was also work that was quite unimportant, so if it was not really up to standard, she would not be penalized.

As they were working in the same office, they would need to face each other every day as long as neither of them quit. This was why Xu Moyan did not really want to cause too much of a fuss over this, meaning she simply tolerated the behavior.

It was also because of this that Sun Huijie was quite nice to her. At the very least, there was some mutual respect between the pair.

There were only two ladies in the company who had married well. One was the manager from the department next door; She was already middle-aged and her husband was a manager in the Customs department. Having said that, Xu Moyan was not very clear about his exact position .

Even though he did not make as much as Sun Huijie’s husband, he enjoyed great benefits. He had brought home a lot of confiscated goods that had helped his family save a lot on daily necessities, whilst some of those confiscated goods even helped provide extra income for their household.

As for Sun Huijie’s husband, he might not enjoy this additional benefit but he earned a high salary of three to four million RMB every month. That made many women envious of her, especially Tao Tingshan.

The young lady had studied in the B City University and was from out of the city. Her home was in a small district that had very limited jobs and low salaries. Since her parents could not help her out much, she worked in B City alone, which was not an easy thing to do. This was why she was always dreaming about marrying a good husband.

She did not need him to be a local from B City, but he needed to have a good job. As for his salary, he should earn as much as the husband of the department manager next door or as much as Sun Huijie’s husband.

It may not sound like much, but in reality, it was quite a lot to ask for as well. Youngsters nowadays placed a lot of importance on materialistic desires. Tao Tingshan herself possessed no clear advantages, which was why her standards were already considered high for someone like her. It was also the reason why she had never been able to find someone suitable all this while.

Everyone in the office knew that Tao Tingshan was always getting her colleagues to help keep an eye out for suitable men to date. Xu Moyan had not really thought about her, but she was very aware that others would not be able to find Tao Tingshan a suitable match.

Potential suitors would be turned off by the fact that she hailed from a lower-class family yet was looking for a high-class suitor. The world did not work in such a way.

This was a viewpoint that Sun Huijie shared very clearly.

Xu Moyan accepted the chocolate with thanks and joined everyone else in watching Sun Huijie show off her branded handbag. She praised the handbag as well, which made Sun Huijie very happy.

This was something that Xu Moyan was always quite happy to do. It was a good thing to make everyone happy since they were all colleagues. It would also help ease the tension and stop any unnecessary trouble, which was not a bad thing.

However, for some reason, Tao Tingshan suddenly turned to ‘attack’ Xu Moyan.

She smiled insincerely. “That right, Big Sis Xu hasn’t found herself a boyfriend yet, has she? Big Sis Sun, you should also help her keep a lookout. Big Sis Xu is so pretty and has a great personality, yet she still can’t find herself a boyfriend. Could it be because you’ve got too high a standard and won’t go for just anyone?”

Xu Moyan looked toward her. She wondered what was wrong with Tao Tingshan. Why would she openly insult her like this? Did she previously offend Tao Tingshan by any chance?

By the way of how Tao Tingshan was speaking to her, something was obviously wrong.

“Moyan is someone who knows what to do. She has her own thoughts and is clear about her path. There’s no need for you to be worried for her,” Big Sister Zhou replied casually. She was now acting less friendly towards Tao Tingshan unlike before when she had suggested that Sun Huijie introduce a boyfriend to Tao Tingshan.

Tao Tingshan could only give a few dry laughs when she was not able to garner any support. “I’m just asking because Big Sis Xu is two years older than I am. Judging by her behaviour, I can take my time to look for someone since Big Sis Xu is not urgently looking at all.”

Big Sister Zhou snorted in her heart. Then, she ignored Tao Tingshan.

This girl really did need to look closely at Xu Moyan’s and her own worth.

Xu Moyan may not be from B City, but her hometown was Jin City, which was right next to B City. Both her parents were teachers, so even if a man emphasized a woman’s background, there was not much he could nit-pick about Xu Moyan’s background. Besides, Xu Moyan was pretty and had a nice personality. She also had a good head on her shoulders and was superior to Tao Tingshan in many ways.

What was there to compare between the pair?

Xu Moyan smiled and did not say anything more to Tao Tingshan. Then, she thanked Sun Huijie and got back to her seat.

It was lunchtime when Xu Moyan found out why Tao Tingshan was suddenly so aggressive toward her.

Big Sister Zhou was the one who told her about it.

She had lunch with Big Sister Zhou and You Minmin in the office canteen. You Minmin was the one who had spotted Wei Zilin the last time around when she was shopping at the supermarket downstairs from the office. After this, she had run up to the office excitedly to tell everyone about him.

Today’s topic was kickstarted by You Minmin. “What’s wrong with Tao Tingshan? She was so rude to you this morning. Did you somehow offend her?”

Xu Moyan drew a blank as well. “I have no idea either. I found her attitude towards me strange too. I didn’t do anything to offend her at all.”

Big Sister Zhou casually spooned through her plate of curry rice and replied, “I know what that was about. You’re aware that she’s recently been tasked with handling a new client, right? The representative from that company was quite a nice young man. He earns a decent salary and is quite good-looking. I heard that he is from South City and is still single, which is why Tao Tingshan was quite taken by him and wanted to get to know him better through work. She wanted to see if something would develop from this. Guess what happened in the end.”

Xu Moyan could not figure out what she was hinting at. She was wondering what all this had got to do with her. So what if Tao Tingshan was interested in someone new?

You Minmin made a good guess. As expected, Big Sister Zhou suddenly burst out laughing. “In the end, that young man busied himself trying to find out more about you.”

“Me?” Xu Moyan’s mouth dropped open in shock.

“Yeah. You might not have noticed it, but he had visited the office quite a number of times and had formed quite a good impression of you. Men are all visual creatures. They would first look at a woman’s face and body before deciding on their next move – luckily for you, you’re a winner in both departments. You’ve got quite an attractive face within our company too, which was probably why he noticed you immediately. He started to learn everything about you, including your family background. He even tried to get information from Tao Tingshan, which was why Tao Tingshan has now formed some sort of rivalry against you,” Big Sister Zhou explained.
