Tang Xia then realized that she had been tricked.

In fact, it's quite common to encounter this kind of thing in the workplace.

She had already prepared herself mentally.

However, she couldn't understand why this person would repeatedly refer to "stay-at-home moms" and why they would have such a strong prejudice against this group.

Tang Xia was genuinely angry this time.

She threw the document heavily in front of the person who was speaking.

The other party was also frightened.

"What are you doing?" But soon, he thought, how could Tang Xia, an intern, dare to go against him? He continued sarcastically, "No way, no way, I was just making a little joke. How can some people be so petty that they can't even take a joke?"

"Is it funny?" Tang Xia stared into his eyes without flinching. "A joke is only a joke if both people find it funny. Your behavior just now, to put it nicely, is called being tactless; to put it bluntly, it's workplace bullying. I bet you haven't read the company's rules and regulations carefully. I advise you to go back and read them carefully, otherwise you won't even know when you've been fired."

The man was indeed frightened by Tang Xia's words.

His grip on the backpack loosened and tightened again.

Their faces were somewhat pale.

Tang Xia observed these changes in him and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Another one who's all bark and no bite.

This kind of person only bullies the weak.

If the weaker party shows even a little bit of strength, he will become afraid and back down.

Tang Xia picked up the file box and threw it into his arms.

"These are what you wanted. Whether you use them or not is up to you. Oh, by the way, there's another rule in the company regulations: you are not allowed to waste any of the company's supplies. You'd better watch out."

After saying that, Tang Xia didn't give him any more looks and turned to leave.

The man stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses.

He belatedly realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Damn! Who said this woman was stupid? Her attack power is absolutely insane!"

He looked at the box of documents in his hand and suddenly felt it was burning hot.

Holding on to it isn't an option, nor is throwing it away.

Tang Xia returned to her workstation. Although her face remained expressionless, Song Zhiruo keenly noticed the change in her emotions.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just ran into an idiot."

I don't know what made those two words make Song Zhiruo laugh, but she laughed for quite a while.

She only stopped when Tang Xia showed a helpless expression on her face.

Blushing, she said, "I'm sorry, sis, I was just wondering how weird the person must be to make you lose your temper and utter those two words."

Tang Xia then told her what had happened that afternoon.

Song Zhiruo immediately slammed her hand on the table: "Damn it! He really is an idiot!"

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

Tang Xia did not bring her bad mood home.

When Jin Xinghan and Aunt Ruan asked about the company, she simply said that everything was fine.

In addition to continuing to improve her professional skills, she also learned many recipes online.

Jin Xinghan visibly ate more at each meal.

But Tang Xia still has her troubles.

Niannian, I don't know what's wrong with her lately. Whenever Jin Xinghan comes home, she insists on letting him hold her and play with her for a while.

Neither Aunt Ruan nor I could coax her.

The original plan to find another house was put on hold.

A few days later, Liang Jingfang was going on a business trip to another place, and Song Zhiruo naturally wanted to go with him.

The important task of going to the construction site fell to Tang Xia.

To prevent a recurrence of the previous incident, the design department specifically assigned a male colleague to accompany her.

But when it was time to leave, the male colleague didn't show up.

It was Qiao Zhinuan who arrived.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaofeng had something come up and couldn't go with you, so he asked me to fill in. But I don't have much experience in this area, so you must teach me properly."

Tang Xia hadn't spoken yet.

A colleague from the design department who was passing by couldn't help but say, "You two are both interns, what's the point of teaching her? She might not even know as much as you do."

"How could that be? My sister-in-law was specially recruited into the design department by President Jin, so she must be extremely outstanding. How can I compare to her?"

"Tch, what special admission? It's clearly just backdoor admission."

Tang Xia simply watched the two of them quietly, singing in unison.

Then, in a very cold tone, he said, "Are you done? If you're done, then leave. Don't waste time."

Although she guessed that Qiao Zhinuan's initiative to go to the construction site with her must have been for ulterior motives.

But since it was the company's arrangement, she couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, when it comes to the performance review for her official employment, I won't know what reason to use to block her.

The two took a taxi to the library construction site.

"I didn't expect to be back so soon. I really miss my college days."

Tang Xia's attitude was cold, and she didn't respond to her.

With no one else around, Qiao Zhinuan was too lazy to continue acting.

His expression immediately contorted, becoming extremely ferocious.

"You're really getting cocky when I say you're fat. Have you forgotten how you used to fawn over me? Want me to remind you? Back then, you were like a dog—"

"Qiao Zhinuan," Tang Xia interrupted her coldly, "You said it yourself, that was in the past. Besides, you think it was flattery, but I think I was just doing you charity. The allowance I gave you came from your brother, and the paper I wrote for you was just a matter of me lifting a finger. But then again, someone like you, a slacker, probably really can't understand the world of us academic geniuses."

Every word Tang Xia uttered struck a nerve with Qiao Zhinuan.

Indeed, Tang Xia had concealed her sharpness in order to integrate into this intellectually impoverished family.

Over time, they really started to think of themselves as easy targets, letting themselves be manipulated at will.

In her previous life, in order to give Niannian a complete family, she pretended to be stupid and not see many things.

But this also gave them the opportunity to hone their skills.

In this life, she finally understood that it was better not to have such a dysfunctional family.

Now that she no longer has any weaknesses, Tang Xia naturally doesn't need to act the same way as before.

Her sharpness and her brilliance only revealed the ugly faces of the Qiao family.

Qiao Zhinuan was so angry that she was about to lose her temper.

At that moment, a rough male voice came from behind.

"Mr. Tang, you've come at the right time. Our construction workers have run into some trouble and need your advice."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Tang Xia stopped wasting words with Qiao Zhinuan.

I put on my helmet and walked over.

Qiao Zhinuan was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it, so she could only kick a stone on the side of the road with all her might.

But the stone was also smelly and hard.

Instead of being kicked away, her toes were swollen.

They brought this on themselves.

As she watched Tang Xia's hurried departure, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

A sinister glint flashed in Qiao Zhinuan's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you brought this on yourself."
