Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door
Chapter 32 Look at Your Ability
Yan Zuozuo returned to her office and then realized with a start that she had forgotten to remove her keys. She patted her head and muttered to herself, "I'm really getting old; I can even forget something like this."
She reached for her design draft, which was almost finished and ready to be given to the design director that afternoon. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she even pulled out the entire drawer, but she still couldn't find her design draft.
She clearly remembered putting the blueprints in the drawer; how could they have disappeared? She suddenly stood up straight and shouted, "Who just came to my seat!"
The office fell silent instantly; everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her, bewildered.
Someone whispered, "Zuo Zuo, what happened?"
Yan Zuozuo swept her eyes sharply around and angrily asked, "Who came to my place at noon?!" She was furious. The design she had drawn was the result of her hard work. Perhaps influenced by Chi Moqing's promise to give her a wedding ring, she even imagined it as her own wedding ring. The time and effort she put into it surpassed that of any other design.
But now, in just one afternoon, her design drawings have vanished. It feels like her marriage has been defiled, making her want to find the culprit and beat them to a pulp.
Everyone shook their heads. They'd all gone to eat, and no one had noticed anything like this. Seeing that no one spoke, Yan Zuozuo walked away with a grim face. "You're all denying it? Fine, I'll check the security footage!"
Cai Keren snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "But now that you have a different status, you speak louder, which really makes us little people afraid."
Yan Zuozuo stared at her for a while before suddenly speaking, "You've been to my seat." It wasn't a question; she said it with certainty.
Cai Keren tossed her uniquely charming wavy curls and said casually, "You saw it?"
"I'm sure you stole my design!"
Ever since the rumors of her promotion surfaced, Cai Keren had been targeting her at every turn. Remembering that the leaked design drafts hadn't been fully resolved, she couldn't help but suspect that Cai Keren might also be involved.
Her accusation caused an uproar throughout the design department, with everyone whispering and pointing fingers. They'd heard that the design director placed exceptional importance on the design Yan Zuozuo was working on; it was a commissioned piece by a mysterious VIP, and absolutely no mistakes could be tolerated. Now, with the deadline fast approaching and the design gone, wouldn't the responsibility fall squarely on Yan Zuozuo's shoulders?
Everyone started thinking about promotions again. If Yan Zuozuo got punished, wouldn't this good thing ultimately fall to Cai Keren? It has to be said, this move was quite clever.
"Yan Zuozuo, watch your words. Did you see me take your design drawings? If you slander me like this, I'll sue you for defamation." Cai Keren's face was cold, and her tone was firm.
"Then sue now, and the police will come and find the real culprit!" Yan Zuozuo said angrily, her hands clenching tightly at her sides. "Do you want me to make a call for you?"
"This is utterly unreasonable. I didn't do it, and I'm not afraid of you calling the police."
"Okay, I'll check the surveillance footage first. I hope it wasn't you, otherwise, I will absolutely not let this go!" Yan Zuozuo stared at her and sneered, "Also, for the sake of being colleagues, let me give you a piece of advice: design relies on your brain, not crooked methods. Instead of thinking about those dirty things, you'd be better off reading more books and studying more."
"What do you mean by that?" Cai Keren said through gritted teeth, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I've made myself clear enough. Did you expect me to just say it outright?"
"Yan Zuozuo!" Cai Keren reached out and slapped her across the face.
Everyone gasped. Just as Cai Keren's slap was about to land on her face, a hand suddenly appeared in mid-air, gripped Cai Keren's arm tightly, and forcefully shook her off. "This is a workplace, what are you doing!"
Cai Keren lost her footing and almost fell to the ground. She steadied herself and looked at the suddenly appearing design director with a wronged expression. "Director, Yan Zuozuo is slandering me!"
"Whether it's slander or not will be investigated and found out eventually, Cai Keren. I advise you to stop now. Don't think that no one knows about the little tricks you're doing behind my back. I'm only tolerating you for now, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate it forever." Yan Zuozuo glared at her angrily, turned around and walked towards the work area, her whole body trembling with anger.
“Director, look at her…” Cai Keren was about to complain when she heard the design director say with a stern face, “You’re coming with me to the CEO’s office!”
Cai Keren was taken aback and had no choice but to follow behind the design director.
In the CEO's office, the design director explained the whole story, and Cai Keren immediately retorted, "Yan Zuozuo is slandering me. I didn't take her design drawings."
With a loud bang, the CEO slammed his hand on the table and launched a scathing attack on Cai Keren, "Are you a pig-brain? Why did you have to provoke Yan Zuozuo? She's Chi Moqing's wife. If you offend her, you're fired!"
Cai Keren stared in astonishment, never expecting that the old man would not protect her. She glared at him angrily, her fists clenched tightly.
The design director knew about their affair. In fact, Cai Keren was not very capable. The CEO kept her around only because he coveted her young body. As for the so-called design drawings, they were actually all done by the design director, as instructed by the CEO.
The design director had disliked Cai Keren for a long time, but he had no choice but to turn a blind eye to her behavior, letting her wander around the design department.
The CEO was an older man who was also attracted to Cai Keren's beauty. Seeing her indignant expression, his tone softened considerably. "I'm just worried about you. If Chi Moqing finds out that you've bullied his wife, do you think he'll let you off the hook?"
Cai Keren bit her lip and remained silent, her face still looking very unpleasant.
Seeing that she wouldn't back down, the CEO looked at her coldly and said, "Do you think that just because you turned off the surveillance cameras like last time, no one will know it was you? Hundreds of eyes in the company are watching. If Yan Zuozuo goes to the police again, let's see how you handle this."
Cai Keren froze, not expecting that he and the design director both knew about her actions. She had only taken action when no one else was in the department.
The design director sneered: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Cai Keren felt uneasy under his gaze, but the next second she became self-righteous again, "Don't think I don't know that you're planning to strongly recommend Yan Zuozuo for promotion this time. If I don't sabotage things, you'll still speak well of her and directly decide on the promotion."
The design director sneered: "Even if I were to pre-select her, she was evaluated based on her genuine skills and abilities. Do you expect me to promote a useless pretty face?"
"You!" Cai Keren's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
“Whether it’s design talent or family background, you can’t compare to Yan Zuozuo in any way. The CEO is here today, so I’ll be frank: I’m going to strongly recommend Yan Zuozuo, and I’ve already decided on him. If you’re not happy about it, go ahead.” The design director said firmly, glancing at the CEO before adding, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”
As soon as the design director left, Cai Keren slammed her hand on the table in anger and said, "You promised me a promotion, how could you go back on your word? I don't care, I'm going to take the position of team leader."
The CEO smirked, stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms, his thick lips kissing her. "What's there to fight over as a team leader? I'll give you extra money in private, as long as you perform well in bed..." He chuckled, speaking in a lewd tone, and the next second he pinned Cai Keren down on the desk, impatiently taking off his clothes.
Cai Keren struggled: "Let me go, you broke your promise..."
The CEO pulled out a black card from somewhere and placed it suggestively on her incessantly chattering mouth. "This is the VIP card for your favorite beauty salon. The money's already paid. Now it's my turn to enjoy it, isn't it?"
His hands lingered on her body, making Cai Keren feel nauseous. She never wanted to serve this old, fat man, but she had no talent for design and could only stay at the company through this kind of relationship. Now that her chances of promotion were gone, she couldn't afford to lose any more money for this, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
She hates Yan Zuozuo, she hates her to death!
Yan Zuozuo felt stifled at the company and was in a bad mood, so she grabbed her bag and headed outside. She bumped right into Cai Keren, who was also coming out in a huff. Cai Keren's clothes were a little wrinkled, and although she had touched up her makeup, she still had a strange smell about her.
Cai Keren snorted coldly, pushed her away forcefully, and left. Yan Zuozuo rubbed her arm, which had been pushed so hard, and frowned.
Instead of going home, she hailed a taxi and went straight to Fu Zixin's place. The phone call she received that morning had made her very uneasy, and she decided to go check on her.
Fu Zixin's eyes were red-rimmed, and she reeked of alcohol. When Yan Zuozuo saw her, she almost thought she had knocked on the wrong door. Although this girl wasn't from a wealthy family and didn't drink at all, she had never been so drunk as she was today.
She sighed, entered the room like a resigned hourly worker, and tidied up the messy bottles of liquor into the box. She didn't touch the food that Fu Zixin had brought as drinking buddies, but she packed it all up and threw it away. She didn't say anything, and looked very angry.
Fu Zixin was drunk, but not to the point of death. She lay lazily on the sofa, her eyes fixed on Yan Zuozuo. "How about we start dating?"
Yan Zuozuo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She rolled her eyes at her, kicked her to the ground, and continued tidying up the messy sofa.
"I'm serious, you're such a virtuous wife and loving mother, and I earn over ten thousand a month, plus we have this house, supporting the two of us is no problem." Fu Zixin chuckled, drunkenly pounced on Yan Zuozuo, pinning her down, and hooked her chin, saying, "Grandma doesn't mind you having a burden, how about the three of us live together? Hehe, girl, let this old man flirt with one." As she spoke, she drunkenly let Yan Zuozuo kiss her face.
Yan Zuozuo slapped her mouth, grabbed her arm and led her to the bathroom, saying, "You better take a shower in here, and I'll settle the score with you later."
With a bang, she slammed the bathroom door shut, then swept and mopped the floor, turning on the exhaust fan for ventilation. Only after she finished cleaning did she go to check on the drunkard in the bathroom, where she heard faint sobs followed by loud wailing.
She pushed open the door and saw Fu Zixin curled up on the floor like a pitiful wretch, her bloodshot, tearful eyes accusing her. "Yan Zuozuo, what's wrong with you? Just because you were betrayed doesn't mean you can't let others pursue love? He's not married, why can't I actively pursue him? I like him, I love him, and I'm going to pursue him. Is it any of your business? Who do you think you are? Don't think that just because you've known me for two years you have the right to tell me what to do. Let me tell you, you're not worthy!"
She roared furiously, her arms outstretched, and staggered to her feet, nearly falling again. Her hand accidentally touched the showerhead, and icy water gushed out instantly.
