After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

However, he didn't know when this heartless little brat planned to tell him.

Since she won't say.

Then he'll just pretend he doesn't know.

……

It wasn't until almost the end of the workday in the afternoon that Ji Tingci finally finished her work.

She breathed a sigh of relief, checked everything before getting up, went to the printer to print out the form he had prepared, and then went to Zhao Qiuyue's seat and handed her a stack of papers.

"Sister Qiuyue, I'm done."

Zhao Qiuyue didn't even look up, and simply said, "Just put it there."

"it is good……"

There's still half an hour until I get off work.

Not long after Ci returned to her workstation, Zhao Qiuyue shut down her computer.

Ji Nianci thought Zhao Qiuyue would look at the form she had submitted, and her gaze towards him immediately became more tense and expectant.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiuyue leaned back in her chair and started playing on her phone.

She was scrolling through her phone while chatting with her colleague about what to eat for dinner.

It was as if they hadn't seen the forms he had placed on the table at all.

Didn't you say it was in a hurry?

Ci silently withdrew her gaze.

It wasn't until ten minutes before she was supposed to leave work that she reluctantly picked up the forms on her desk and started looking through them.

She only glanced at it twice before her expression turned impatient.

"Hey, new intern, come here."

She raised her voice, her tone making everyone feel uncomfortable no matter how you listened to it.

Ji Nianci frowned slightly, then got up and walked over.

Zhao Qiuyue casually pulled out a few sheets and threw them in front of her, saying sarcastically, "What kind of stuff are these? You can do such simple work so poorly? I really don't know why the company hired someone like you. I'm quite curious now, how did you get into the company? Tell us all so we can all learn from your experience."

After saying that, Zhao Qiuyue exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hand, her laughter filled with sarcasm.

Her voice was loud, drawing the attention of those around her. Many looked at her with a mixture of sympathy and, of course, gossip and mockery.

Ji Nianci didn't feel embarrassed at all. She replied calmly and respectfully, "Sister Qiuyue, if you think there's anything lacking in my work, you can just point it out directly, and I'll correct it. There's no need for you to use such sarcastic words to slander me. I believe that everyone should have a basic sense of morality."

After Ci finished speaking, he simply stood in front of her, calmly looking down at her.

She was already beautiful and had a tall, straight figure. Now, with her hands clasped together and her expression indifferent, she unconsciously exuded a unique kind of beauty, like a painting.

This contrasted sharply with Zhao Qiuyue's exaggerated, malicious expression as she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

Most of her colleagues unconsciously sided with her, and several were even completely stunned.

Zhao Qiuyue had always disliked Ji Nianci's face. Before Ji Nianci arrived, Zhao Qiuyue's looks were considered among the best in the design department, but as soon as she arrived, her brilliance was immediately overshadowed. Even Director Deng treated her with special favor. Moreover, she was assigned to work under her, which meant that Ji Nianci would be around her quite often, leading to frequent comparisons between the two. The thought of this only fueled her anger.

She knew perfectly well that Ji Nianci couldn't have gotten in through any means. The company had strict management rules; no one dared to just randomly put people in. Probably only the president had that authority. So, Ji Nianci couldn't possibly have a relationship with President Shen, could she? Her words were just an attempt to ruin Ji Nianci's reputation. She couldn't let her thrive in the design department with that kind of face, could she?

……

However, Ci’s words directly exposed Zhao Qiuyue’s dark and twisted inner world.

Her face darkened visibly.

She had assumed that Ji Nianci would silently endure these words and remain silent, thus putting this vixen at a disadvantage. She never expected her to dare to defy her like this.

"Ha, how did I slander you? Was there anything wrong with what I said? A new intern dares to talk to me like that, how arrogant! Doesn't she know her own limitations? These sheets are unacceptable. Take them back and redo them until they're finished!"

Although Zhao Qiuyue ignored the argument, she was unyielding in her demeanor.

Ji Nianci watched as she casually picked out a few papers and said they were unqualified. Wasn't this blatantly making things difficult for her?

She wasn't annoyed. She simply picked up the few sheets of paper on the table, looked them over carefully, and then said calmly, "Sister Qiuyue, I don't quite understand what's wrong with these sheets. You have to tell me so I can make changes."

Zhao Qiuyue was furious at her indifferent attitude.

She practically roared, "Do I have to explain such a small thing to you? Aren't you so capable? Think about it yourself. If you can't even do this right, then pack your things and get out!"

After she finished speaking, she angrily picked up her bag and left.

Suddenly, I felt like laughing.

She worked in the design department, just like Zhao Qiuyue, and they shared an office. Zhao Qiuyue was only slightly more senior than her; theoretically, they were equals. She couldn't understand how Zhao Qiuyue could have told her to pack her things and get out.

Could it be that he's been flattered by those around him for so long that he actually thinks he's a leader?

It was already time to leave work, and most of the people in the design department had left.

Only Xiao Siyu, after everyone had left, got up and walked to Nianci's seat, her expression filled with sympathy and guilt: "Nianci, I'm sorry. I don't dare offend Sister Qiuyue, so I can't do anything for you. You're really brave to directly refute her. But if that's the case, you'll have a very difficult time under her in the future..."

Ji Nianci smiled calmly and said to her, "It's alright, Siyu. I'm already very grateful that you came to comfort me. As for Zhao Qiuyue, I'm not afraid of her. Whether I said those things or not, she would have treated me the same way."

"Sigh, that's true." Xiao Siyu sighed. "You have to be careful in the future. Sister Qiuyue is like a superhero, she's already on fire before you even light the candle. It's just a pity for you, having to work overtime on your first day here."

Ji Nianci blinked, as if to ease the atmosphere, and said in a slightly playful tone, "I'm not working overtime. I just sat down here to pretend. Once they've all left, I'll go home."
