After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

Tang Xia returned to her workstation.

Song Zhiruo and Liang Jingfang were leaning against each other, talking about something.

Seeing that she had returned, Song Zhiruo patted Liang Jingfang's arm.

The two men stood up together and congratulated her: "Congratulations! From today onwards, you are a full-time employee of Huanyu."

But soon, they noticed that Tang Xia's expression was strange.

Song Zhiruo immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with your promotion assessment?"

Tang Xia nodded helplessly.

Then, he told them everything that had just happened in Su Wan's office.

Song Zhiruo immediately exploded.

"Holy crap! I never expected Wang Xiaoyu to be this kind of person! I thought he had reformed, but it turns out he's a leopard that can't change its spots!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit on the head.

Song Zhiruo immediately glared at her: "What? Am I wrong?"

Liang Jingfang corrected her: "You still can't use foul language."

"What? You've said that all the time." After complaining, Song Zhiruo remembered to comfort Tang Xia: "Sister, it's okay. Anyway, it's not like he can decide the official appointment application by himself. Otherwise, we can go and argue with HR again."

Tang Xia shook her head.

"Wang Xiaoyu wasn't lying. I did go to the bathroom more often before."

"But you didn't slack off either!" Song Zhiruo genuinely felt indignant on her behalf: "You're always the first to finish the task and you often help him, but now he's turning around and blaming you. What an ingrate!"

"Never mind, it's okay, there will be other opportunities later."

Tang Xia then comforted Song Zhiruo.

After returning from the personnel department, Tang Xia's emotions had completely calmed down.

This is also thanks to her self-training over the years.

From a young age, she almost never asked her parents for help when she encountered problems; she always handled them on her own.

Song Zhiruo was deeply impressed by her composure in the face of adversity.

As long as Liang Jingfang isn't involved, Tang Xia is practically the perfect woman in her eyes.

Soon, it was time to leave work.

Song Zhiruo had just stretched when she saw that Tang Xia had already packed her things.

She was also very surprised.

"Sis, you're usually the last one to leave, how come you're so punctual today?"

"I..." Tang Xia said with a little embarrassment, "I have to go back and cook."

"Cooking?" Song Zhiruo suddenly realized something and immediately sat up straight. "Aren't you staying at President Jin's house now? Doesn't he have a housekeeper? Why do he need you to cook? He wouldn't be doing this on purpose—"

"no no!"

Seeing that Song Zhiruo's guesses were getting more and more out of line, Tang Xia hurriedly interrupted her and explained, "It was my suggestion. Staying at someone else's house always requires some compensation, but President Jin is not short of money, so I can only use this as a substitute."

"Compensation?" Song Zhiruo raised an eyebrow and teased, "Given what President Jin has done for you, this little bit of compensation probably isn't enough."

"Really? Then I should—"

"Song Zhiruo! Come in and see what kind of garbage you've produced!"

Before Tang Xia could finish speaking, Liang Jingfang's angry roar came from the office.

Song Zhiruo had no choice but to quickly end the chat with her: "Sister, I'll have a good talk with you when I'm free this weekend. I have to go in now."

"Okay, let's talk next time."

Tang Xia kept this matter in mind.

Song Zhiruo and Jin Xinghan both come from very wealthy families, so her advice should still be of some value.

I took a taxi home.

Aunt Ruan had already prepared the ingredients for her in advance.

I also couldn't bear to see her working so hard.

Aunt Ruan stood at the kitchen door, holding Niannian in her arms. Watching Tang Xia's practiced movements, she couldn't help but sigh, "If only my daughter were as sensible as you."

Tang Xia rarely heard Aunt Ruan talk about her family affairs.

Jin Xinghan had previously warned that Aunt Ruan and her family did not get along well.

Tang Xia was also afraid of bringing up her painful memories, so she could only give a carefully chosen reply.

"These dishes are all very simple and not complicated at all."

Aunt Ruan suddenly sighed deeply.

Speaking of her daughter, she was truly disappointed in her.

Perhaps because he was emotional, he couldn't help but say a few more words to Tang Xia.

“My girl just can’t find her place. She’s always daydreaming about climbing the social ladder and becoming a phoenix. How could someone like Xinghan possibly be interested in her?”

After saying that, she felt something was off.

Worried that Tang Xia might overthink it, he added, "I wasn't talking about you."

Tang Xia smiled and said, "It's alright, Aunt Ruan. Mr. Jin is indeed very outstanding. However, I think it's a bit hurtful for you to say that your daughter is not good enough for him. Every woman has the right to pursue happiness, even if the other person is much better than herself."

Aunt Ruan listened to her words and actually fell into deep thought.

Just then, the sound of a car came from the yard.

Jin Xinghan has returned.

Aunt Ruan said with a smile, "He must be back so early tonight to celebrate your promotion."

Tang Xia paused in her movements.

No words were spoken.

At the dinner table, Jin Xinghan did indeed bring up her application for a permanent position, just as Aunt Ruan had said.

As the person with the highest authority in the Huanyu Group, he naturally wouldn't know the results of a lowly employee's performance review for promotion.

Tang Xia hesitated several times before deciding to keep the matter a secret.

She expressed her gratitude to Jin Xinghan in a very formal manner.

Then, Jin Xinghan indeed took out a gift bag from behind her back.

"congratulations."

Tang Xia accepted it without further refusal.

Knowing Jin Xinghan as she did, she knew that even if she refused, he would find another way to give her the gift.

Rather than making him go through all that trouble, it's better for me to be sensible and do my part.

Tang Xia's greatest strengths are patience and concealment.

Because of her deliberate concealment, no one in her family noticed that something was wrong with her.

The next day.

As soon as Tang Xia arrived at the company, she sensed that the atmosphere in the office was unusual.

She didn't pay much attention.

In the design department of Huanyu Group, it would be unusual if nothing unusual happened every day.

She turned on her computer and found the design she had drawn last night.

There were a few places where her thoughts weren't very clear.

Just as he was about to get up to ask Liang Jingfang for advice, the door to his office opened first.

However, the person who came out of there was none other than Qiao Zhinuan!

It had only been a few days since they last met, but Qiao Zhinuan seemed like a completely different person.

Her originally innocent makeup has now been replaced with a mature and glamorous style.

A bodycon skirt, high heels, and chestnut-colored wavy hair just like Lin Jing's.

Tang Xia almost didn't recognize him.

Qiao Zhinu blocked her way, a smile curving her red lips as she lowered her voice and said to her, "You didn't expect that, did you? Even without your work, I can still get into Huanyu. I also heard that you failed to get a permanent position yesterday. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll get a permanent position before you. We'll see."
