Chapter 14 First Day of Work
Li Qianluo kept throwing up while flushing the toilet. Before long, the bathroom was full of the smell of alcohol.
Li Qianluo gargled listlessly, and opened the window in the bathroom to take a breath of fresh air.
She then ran back to the toilet to retch, brushed her teeth, and went to bed directly, as she didn"t feel like bathing.
In a daze, she felt someone feed water to her, and fell into a deep sleep.
Si Jinheng got angry, when he saw Li Qianluo fall asleep as if nothing had happened. He did nothing but leave for his study with Li Qianluo"s phone.
That"s fine. One can seek escape for a moment, but she can"t run away forever.
In the study.
Si Jinheng unlocked her phone, and entered his private number and typed "Husband" in the name field in the Contacts. Then he opened the WeChat app and added his account to her contacts, and created mutual following on Weibo. He also downloaded the other social apps she had, and added her to the contacts.
After that, he put her phone back, and went back to his own room, because he didn"t want to sleep with a drunken woman.
The next morning.
Li Qianluo didn"t wake up until 10 o"clock next morning. With a splitting headache, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and went downstairs to look for something to eat.
Apart from Mrs. Du, there are another two women on the first floor - a middle-aged woman and a woman in her thirties.
Mrs. Du, who was a.s.signing jobs to them, walked towards Li Qianluo upon seeing her.
"Qianluo, they were sent by the housekeeper agency just now. This is Mrs. Liu for household duties upstairs, and this is junior Zhang for downstairs. Mrs. Liu, junior Zhang, this is our lady."
"Good morning, my lady!" Both of them were specially trained by the housekeeper agency with the most outstanding service capabilities. They greeted Li Qianluo right after Mrs. Du introduced her.
"h.e.l.lo. Just call me Qianluo, please." Li Qianluo nodded at them.
"Fine, thanks, Qianluo." They breathed a sigh of relief secretly, as they found that Qianluo was easy to get along with.
Mrs. Du instructed them to begin working, and went to the kitchen to serve Li Qianluo a bowl of soup.
"Did you drink too much last night? Alcohol is not good. Do not drink so much in future." Mrs. Du could not help turning garrulous when she saw Li Qianluo, who didn"t look well. Luckily, Qianluo was so kind that she wouldn"t mind her chatter.
"OK. Thank you, Mrs. Du." After finishing off the soup, she felt much better in a minute.
Li Qianluo appeased her hunger with some food then. "He goes to work?"
Mrs. Du knew who she referred to. "Yes, he went to the company early this morning. And he said that you should tell him if you go out."
...
Li Qianluo was lost for words. Anyway, it is not a problem. She thought carefully and concluded if it were not for that Si Jinheng appeared suddenly last night, it was hard to conceive what would happen to Qi Zeming and her.
Li Qianluo went back room upstairs, took out her phone, and opened WeChat and Weibo, which displayed 99 and 999 new messages respectively. She glanced over the hot comments, only to find the so-called good friends in the upper cla.s.s hypocritically expressed their concern. She received various comments from netizens, including those who were amazed at the diamond ring, while only few people sent her best wishes.
The same case was her WeChat Moments. Fu Xinru"s unctuous concern disgusted her. She only replied to Yu Wanwan and Lu Zixi. Then she sent a message to Yu Wanwan, whose user name was Fish Ball, through WeChat to inform her that she will go to her workplace to have a look.
Before closing the app, she caught a glimpse of a new contact named "Si" in the chat list.
Si Jinheng? Li Qianluo checked his WeChat Moments, only to see promotion information related to SL International Group in the business field. It must be him. She remembers clearly that she didn"t add him to contacts. When did they add each other?
Anyway, before she got dressed, she opened the chat box and entered a message:
"Boss, I"m going to meet a friend."
She dressed herself in cool clothes. A new message popped up, which was from Si Jinheng.
"Where? Whom?"
Li Qianluo rolled her eyes and replied: "To find a job. Yu Wanwan."
"No need to find a job."
"Disagreed. Bye." Li Qianluo put the phone in her bag and decided not to reply to him.
Li Qianluo chose not to drive the luxury car to apply for the job. She walked for a long time. Before she got a sun stroke, she got a taxi.
Huaguan Mall.
This mall used to be named Chengguan Mall, which was owned by Li Family. After Qi Yunzhong took office, it was officially renamed Huaguan Mall. Li Qianluo looked at the mall with a complex emotion. She will win back all that belonged to Li Family someday, even though she had to rely on that man.
Yu Wanwan worked as a shopping guide at the Yuqing Ladies Fashion. Before Li Qianluo arrived, Yu Wanwan had already told her supervisor that her friend would like to work here.
The female supervisor decided to hire Li Qianluo, as she was beautiful, graceful and outgoing, though she had no work experience.
"Qianluo, you majored in Film and Television at the university. What"s wrong with you to think about working here? Yu Wanwan was really confused.
Li Qianluo smiled and made no answer. She was too embarra.s.sed to tell the truth. It was all because of Fu Xinru. Li Qianluo had a lot of opportunities of internship related to film and television at the university, but Fu Xinru played tricks to turn them down.
Many of her cla.s.smates had acted in many ads and films before graduation, becoming a little famous, while she did none. She doesn"t quite have the nerve to apply for a job in entertainment companies. She could only wait for chances to switch job.
In the evening, Li Qianluo lay on the bed, thinking about for two hours whether to kick Si Jinheng out if he enters the room.
However, Si Jinheng didn"t come back that night. The next morning, Mrs. Du told her that Si Jinheng had just taken over the business and got so busy that he would stay in the company for a few days. Li Qianluo let out a sigh of relief secretly, as she didn"t need to face him in the following few days.
It is the first day that she goes to work. To keep a low profile, she specially bought a women"s motorcycle.
The clothing brand she worked for was called Yuqing - a domestic high-end brand. Li Qianluo bought clothes of this brand twice. But she doesn"t know which company owns this brand.
After Yu Wanwan introduced Li Qianluo the working environment, they began cleaning the store.
Li Qianluo cleaned all hangers like Yu Wanwan did, and was panting when she finished.
"Qianluo, are you OK?" Looking at Li Qianluo with sweating forehead concernedly, Yu Wanwan was a little worried that she could not get used to such heavy manual work.
"I"m fine. I can handle that. It is just a little hot." Li Qianluo continued to work. The mall has not opened yet, so the air conditioners were not running.
"OK. I go to work." Each of them was responsible for an area that was clearly defined.
When it was time for business, Li Qianluo was a little bit uncomfortable, as she didn"t know how to greet customers.
The supervisor instructed Yu Wanwan to teach her how to serve customers.
Those who will buy clothes of this brand are all rich. There are many rich people in the world, yet sometimes you just don"t think so. As for that moment, Li Qianluo happened to meet the people she hadn"t expected to on her first day to work, who is her deadly foe, called Ye Lingling.
