Capítulo 1550: Chapter 1550: Who Cares About Your Men (3)
“Apologize!” At this moment, Yao Jia stood up.
She was smart, knowing a word called “there is time in the future”.
Tian Lei saw her sister speaking and reluctantly apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Xia.”
Xia Chuqing glanced at her, responding indifferently, “No need for that.”
After speaking, she left without looking back, leaving the hall.
She ran out, not knowing why her heart felt suffocated, as if a stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She tapped the elevator button desperately, wanting to cry.
She had never shed tears as a child, but after meeting Xiao Mo, she could only cry, no longer laugh.
Probably she owed him a lot in her previous life, so in this life, she could only repay with tears.
Endure, suffer, and feel sad…
The elevator went all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xia Chuqing ran out, dashed into a corner, and curled up to cry, not caring that the wall was dirty.
The humiliation she endured at the interview today was just the beginning. In the future, people would look down on her even more because of her family’s unclear political background.
No one would bear these for her; she could only cry quietly.
She had no other way…
The hardest part was that he already had a girlfriend. She had long let go and didn’t care whether he had a girlfriend or not.
But under the premise of having a girlfriend, he kept provoking her ambiguously. What did he take her for?
Xia Chuqing curled up, buried her head in her knees, her shoulders twitching uncontrollably.
The faint sound of her crying echoed through the parking lot, her heart wrenching into a knot…
She shouldn’t have come here…
Perhaps crying too sorrowfully, Xia Chuqing didn’t notice the pair of black leather shoes that had been standing in front of her for a while.
Xiao Mo stood there with his hands in his pants pockets, looking down at her crying.
Really careless, crying sitting on the ground, this corner full of dust!
He paid for her to study abroad, and this is how she turned out? Not even as good as before.
So, Xiao Mo scoffed disdainfully, “Get up.”
Xia Chuqing was startled and hurriedly stopped crying, lifting her head up from her knees.
How did he follow her, did he have eyes on his back?
She wiped her tears as if nothing had happened, stood up, wanting to leave.
Xiao Mo blocked her way, preventing her from leaving. He had her cornered, looking at her casually, with an indiscernible look in his eyes.
“You… Mr. Xiao.” Xia Chuqing clutched her bag strap, not knowing what to say.
“After not seeing each other for more than ten days, you’re getting distant. I let you come for the interview, and you put on this show for me.” Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow.
“Is Mr. Xiao here to hold me accountable? Sorry, I don’t accept this blame.”
“Quite gutsy, but you only have the guts in front of me.” Xiao Mo said indifferently, “So you don’t plan to go to the interview? Running away at the last minute?”
“I’m going for interviews elsewhere.” Xia Chuqing lowered her head, without looking at him, but could feel the coldness in his gaze, “After today’s scene at Shen’s, I’m embarrassed to come back. Thank you for standing up for me today, Mr. Xiao. I was also at fault.”
“At least you’re not confused, knowing I stood up for you.” Xiao Mo’s tone was flat, “Don’t throw tantrums, you’re an adult. If you really want to interview elsewhere, I won’t stop you, but think carefully, companies that want interns and are willing to pay a decent salary are rare.”
Xiao Mo wasn’t forcing her, but he knew where her weaknesses were.
Xia Chuqing hesitated, tightly grasping the bag strap, staying silent.
“The internship salary at the secretary’s office is 8,000, with monthly increases based on performance. If you stay on, it won’t be less than 20,000 a month.”
Xia Chuqing widened her eyes, “Really?”
She couldn’t believe the internship salary was this high; 800 was more realistic.
“As a vice president, would I deceive you?”
“But my parents have a murky political background.” Xia Chuqing wilted again, feeling a twinge in her nose.
“Shen’s values capability more than that.”
“Why are you helping me?”
Only then did Xia Chuqing lift her misty eyes to look at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo paused: “I help whoever has reason on their side; I’m not that confused yet.”
“Oh…” Xia Chuqing had a mix of emotions in her heart.
So, he helped based on reason, not favoritism, indirectly acknowledging Yao Jia as his girlfriend and Tian Lei as his girlfriend’s cousin.
However, Xia Chuqing was considerate, and because Xiao Mo intentionally avoided mentioning his girlfriend, she wouldn’t bring it up.
“I’m sorry for embarrassing you today.” Xia Chuqing’s voice lowered.
“It was indeed embarrassing, but it’s okay, not the first time you’ve embarrassed me. You have to get used to it.”
“It won’t happen again.”
“I’m older than you; should I bicker with a young girl like you?”
“Oh…” Xia Chuqing was momentarily speechless.
In his mind, she was just a young girl, and his help came from a sense of protection, like a teacher’s care for a student.
Xiao Mo turned and headed directly towards the elevator.
Xia Chuqing followed, timidly asking, “How is the interview hall? Is it chaotic?”
“Save your effort for things that don’t concern you.” Xiao Mo tossed her this line directly.
“I’m a bit embarrassed to go.”
“You have such thin skin? How come I never noticed?” Xiao Mo glanced at Xia Chuqing walking beside him.
Xia Chuqing knew he was mocking her again.
Normally she would retort, but he helped her, so she chose to stay silent.
She was always clear on grudges and favors, right and wrong she understood well.
At the elevator entrance, Xiao Mo casually pressed a button.
“Why are you not talking?” Xiao Mo was inexplicably irritated, hating the silent Xia Chuqing the most.
She usually talked a lot; was she impatient because she was with him?
“I don’t know what to say.” Xia Chuqing blinked.
“There’s nothing you want to ask me?” Xiao Mo said faintly, hinting.
“No…”
Xiao Mo grew increasingly irritated. Were they really this estranged? Should he not have let her go abroad back then?
The elevator arrived. Xiao Mo dragged Xia Chuqing out, placing her in front of a door.
“This is the interview place; I’ve informed them. You go straight in for the interview!” Xiao Mo said.
Joy flashed in Xia Chuqing’s eyes, “I don’t have to wait in the interview hall?”
“Hmm.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me to come up for the interview earlier, so I wouldn’t have embarrassed you.”
“I was afraid you’d embarrass me again if I left you in the interview hall.”
Without any courtesies, Xiao Mo turned and left.
Xia Chuqing watched his retreating figure and decided to let it go. She wouldn’t bicker with a man in menopause, with a bad temper and sharp tongue.
Xiao Mo went to his office after going downstairs, casually lighting a cigarette.
He called the HR department, saying indifferently, “She’s at your interview entrance.”
