Chapter 1492: You're Fired

Su Miaotong was extremely anxious, “Jiaojiao, how could you agree to this? You clearly sense how Mrs. Ye feels about you…”

She didn’t finish her sentence.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t care, “It’s fine, I accepted it, I’ll bear the consequences.”

Lin Shuyun was determined to make things difficult, there was no avoiding it.

Rather than hesitate and shrink back, it’s better to directly accept it, at worst it’s like accepting a challenge.

Su Miaotong couldn’t persuade her, so she had to go find President Pei.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t follow along, she tidied up the tea and took it back to the break room. When she came out, Lin Shuyun was standing at the door waiting for her.

“You, come with me.”

Nan Jiaojiao followed her.

The corridor was empty, Lin Shuyun opened the window a bit, turned back, and stared coldly at Nan Jiaojiao, “Did you get your big brother to pull some strings for you?”

Nan Jiaojiao looked indifferent, “No.”

“Ye Jun didn’t help you, with your qualifications, how could you possibly enter E.Y!”

Lin Shuyun lowered her voice, “Or have you been kept by some executive at E.Y?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes twitched, she’d heard these words many times before. She was not only immune but also found them laughable, “Who do you think is keeping me?”

“How would I know, I’m asking you!”

“Then I know even less, isn’t Mrs. Ye very capable, go investigate.”

“Nan Jiaojiao, how dare you speak to me like that, I’m your…”

Nan Jiaojiao’s lips curved slightly, she looked at her closely, her eyes as calm and cold as a still wave.

The latter half of Lin Shuyun’s sentence remained unsaid. She gritted her teeth and said, “Since you pretend to not know me in front of your superiors, do it well, don’t slip up. I don’t want people to know about our relationship. And if you really are being kept, don’t go around saying you’re from the Ye Family, I find it embarrassing.”

“Don’t worry, the Ye Family has never been my support, I’m very clear about that. But for the time being, I ask Mrs. Ye to be patient. Since you want me to design jewelry for you, we have to communicate. Please, Mrs. Ye, let’s act professionally.”

Lin Shuyun scrutinized her but couldn’t detect any embarrassment. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which displeased her.

But after saying this, Nan Jiaojiao was about to leave.

Lin Shuyun took a couple of strides to block her, “You should resign.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s brow furrowed, “Why?”

What else could it be? Lin Shuyun couldn’t stand to see her doing well. She wanted Nan Jiaojiao to have no skills, to be dependent on the Ye Family, to live under her watch, preferably to be humble and timid. If Lin Shuyun was pleased, she’d grant her a meal; if not, she’d lock her in the attic.

Just like when they first regained Nan Jiaojiao that year.

Unfortunately, Nan Jiaojiao was too rebellious, Lin Shuyun’s tactics had no effect on her. She even directly told Ye Congwen that she wanted to move out without being pushed to the limit.

She left, but Lin Shuyun didn’t believe a country girl could survive in the city. Even her tuition was paid by the Ye Family. She thought Nan Jiaojiao would wander for two days and then come back, obedient, and Lin Shuyun didn’t mind keeping her like a dog.

But Nan Jiaojiao was too capable. She not only survived but thrived and did so mysteriously. Even someone of Lu Zhenzhen’s stature, whom the whole Ye Family couldn’t match, was her friend.

Lin Shuyun couldn’t think of a reason and was too lazy to fake one, she just said, “You’re not suited for this job.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed coldly, took a step, and left.

“Are you not listening to me? Do you still regard me at all!”
