Chapter 2659: Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (177)

When they returned to the Ocean Pavilion, Auntie Jiang had already prepared dinner. Qiao Ruoxi did not have much of an appetite, but for the sake of her baby, she forced herself to eat some.

Feng Yunan was not back yet, and Qiao Ruoxi was still in the guest room.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep at all.

The events of that day kept flashing through her mind.

She thought of Qin Xuming. She had heard from Xiu Yi that he had been sent to the police station for intentional assault and would be sentenced to jail for a few years.

Qiao Ruoxi could no longer sympathize with Qin Xuming. He had only himself to blame for treating her like that.

It was a pity that his future as a lawyer was completely ruined. It was his fault for offending Feng Yunan.

Her heart still ached when she thought of the heartless words Feng Yunan had said to her.

That’s right. If it wasn’t for that marriage, she would be nothing to Feng Yunan. She would just be a scheming woman who would do anything to get ahead.

Her heart ached.

Unknowingly, tears fell from the corners of her eyes and into her ears, wet and cold.

She could only warn herself:

‘Qiao Ruoxi, don’t think about him, don’t think about him, don’t think about him anymore…’

Falling in love with a man who does not belong to you is bound to be miserable. It was not too late to cut all ties now!

…

Feng Yunan did not come back for the whole night, and Qiao Ruoxi only fell asleep after midnight.

When she woke up the next day, she was a little tired and her head hurt.

They were at work and a gossipy colleague asked, “Qiao Ruoxi, there was a man and a woman who were about to jump off a building yesterday. Someone saw that the woman looked like you. Is that you?”

What suicide?

Why did the news spread like this?

“Is that so?” Qiao Ruoxi asked, making them dispel their desire for gossip with her expressionless look. “Is that so? I passed by that place too and that girl’s back reminded me of you.”

The female colleague stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. They all felt that Qiao Ruoxi was a very boring person. She didn’t even have the spirit to joke around.

When she was working in the morning, she was always out of sorts. When she introduced the jewelry, she kept saying the wrong things.

Fortunately, they could rest for a while. At this time, the store manager, Bao Juhua, came to give everyone a monthly summary. “Everyone, guess what our store’s national sales ranking was last month? You definitely won’t be able to guess!”

Some guessed that they were within the top twenty, and some boldly guessed the top ten. But none of them guessed correctly.

Indeed, no one could guess because the sales volume of Di Ruiling Jewelry’s flagship store had always been a mystery.

Every month, the sales performance fluctuated between high and low, as if she had a heart attack.

At the worst, they might even be at the bottom of the national rankings. At best, they would only be in the top 20 or 30.

Bao Juhua smiled smugly and said, “Let me tell you a piece of great news. Our store ranked first in the country last month!”

First place?

Unbelievable.

When everyone heard the ranking, they could not believe it. At first, they were suspicious. Then, they began to cry out in surprise. This is great! This is the best sales ever!

Bao Juhua continued to announce the good news. “Our shop came in first place. The monthly outstanding employee has also been selected.”

“Who is it? Who is it?” Everyone started discussing incessantly.

Bao Juhua looked at Qiao Ruoxi with a complicated gaze and announced unwillingly, “Outstanding employee of the month, Qiao Ruoxi.”

As soon as the name was announced, many people were very surprised. Someone said, “How could it be Qiao Ruoi? How did she get chosen as an outstanding employee?”

“That’s right! I was really confused! Did she pull some strings?”

“She’s still a newcomer, okay? Is there a mistake?”
