Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Can’t Take Advantage_1

Xiao Jie saw that she couldn’t gain any advantage and was getting angrier the more she listened to the other party’s words. She felt there was no need to put up with it anymore; enduring it wouldn’t lead the other party to leave any clue for her anyway. Adding each other’s Penguin account would mean pretending to be close like fake sisters—a way of interacting she was not willing to accept.

She had only come here today to obtain a Penguin account. If she couldn’t add it, there was no point in continuing like this. She hadn’t planned to play a sisters’ act with this woman. Such pretense was exhausting, and who knows what else might happen later on. So, she didn’t say anything else.

Zhang Yue could hardly suppress a sneer. The audacity to utter that statement! Did the other woman not also want to turn from a sparrow into a phoenix? Who thought they were noble? They all worked in the same place. Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was stuck in the mud.

Forever unable to get out, like she was some high-born Miss Rose. Hilariously pathetic—pretending to be something she’s not, this woman was truly amusing.

This person called Xiao Jie was even funnier than the woman by the boss’s side. At least that woman was genuinely a rich heiress, born of high status, and her demeanor was not something those of their kind could mimic. She couldn’t help but envy that kind of person.

If the other said she was dirt that couldn’t support a wall, she might sometimes feel so inferior that she’d dare not retort. But what right did Xiao Jie have? She was just a woman from the slums like herself, putting on airs here, as if she could maintain a presence, huh.

Zhang Yue had begun to wonder why the other dared to speak to her like that, growing angrier as she watched Xiao Jie’s receding figure. If that woman dared to push the boss around, why couldn’t she offend her?

Seeing nothing extraordinary about her, Zhang Yue mocked, "And what noble breed are you? Just some petty commoner’s airs. Don’t flatter yourself too much, lest you don’t earn a penny, but end up establishing your own ’chastity house.’ I really want to vomit."

After saying that, Zhang Yue twisted her hips and returned to her own room, not intending to talk to Xiao Jie any longer, in case she might be reported to the boss and accused of causing trouble, possibly ending up expelled.

She didn’t want to leave before completing her task, and if she could gain something better, that would be great. In any case, she wouldn’t leave.

At first, Xiao Jie was just mocking and very angry, ready to leave. How could she know that this little wench would dare to mock her? She was at her breaking point and wanted to come up and bite the other, but then she heard what the other woman said:

"Think carefully. If you hit me now, you’ll never be able to work here again. It hasn’t even started yet. If you want to ruin your own future willingly, I won’t stop you.

I’ll just lie here and let you hit me. How much you’ll have to pay me afterwards is uncertain, and without any income, you might only be able to go work at a dance hall."

After saying that, Zhang Yue burst into laughter as if she had completely outmaneuvered the other, acting like a mad woman enticing the other to hit her.

Xiao Jie was furious, but hearing that and seeing that obnoxious look on the other’s face made her angrier. She raised her fist, ready to strike, but the other didn’t dodge, eyes wide open, almost eagerly awaiting the slap to see what would happen next—truly a madwoman.

It was only then that Xiao Jie realized the woman she had provoked was no simple matter, perhaps even more formidable than herself. When it came to petty cunning, she could never match this woman.

The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and she decided to let it go and not provoke further. So, she threw out her words, "I’m not hitting you now because I abide by the rules here. I still want to make money, so I won’t touch you, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you."

After saying that, she turned and left, beginning to plot how to deal with this woman without being punished. Anyway, fighting here was definitely unforgivable; she would be expelled immediately. Moreover, she still hoped to win the boss’s favor, ensuring a worry-free life in her future.

Zhang Yue hadn’t quite fathomed the boss’s mindset, so she shouldn’t act rashly. Just now, she was only intimidating her. If she really had been struck, she would have been counted in the mess too. This was in fact a provocation. Of course, it was a gamble as to whether Xiao Jie dared to strike and face the consequences of breaking the rules.

Luckily, luckily, fate was on her side. She guessed right. The other had not dared to take the gamble. This showed her that the other was just an ordinary person like herself, although perhaps the other did have some background, maybe even many brothers and sisters outside, which would explain her boldness in wanting to slap her right away.

In the past, she must have been quite a feisty young lady. Upon this realization, Zhang Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud, thinking of how the other’s eyeshadow could make her entire eyes look as if they were punched, unable to blend properly, and how appalling that eyeliner was.

It was far inferior to another woman’s makeup she saw the day before, whose makeup was truly beautiful. Oh, that’s right, she finally remembered why the other’s eyeliner and eyeshadow, which didn’t seem so sharp before, now appeared so intense.

It must have been an attempt to emulate the boss’s makeup, but what a terrible attempt it was. She couldn’t bear to think it was the same style. Zhang Yue, thinking of how both used similar colors and were supposedly similar, really wanted to laugh at how inept the woman was—the poor thing couldn’t even get the makeup right.

Heh, whatever, she shouldn’t bother with these unrelated matters anymore. She just hoped these people wouldn’t provoke her again. All she wanted was to stay quietly in this place, complete the task, earn some money, and retire comfortably. That was all.
