Chapter 468: Chapter 450: Smarter Than Others

Zeng Jingya had no sympathy for Li Qing, having realized that they were simply not on the same wavelength with time.

"Birds of a feather flock together."

Beyond a superficial camaraderie as colleagues, they really didn’t share a deep personal relationship.

"Soon, just over ten more days, you will naturally not be missing out on a wedding invitation."

With a smile, Xia Na glanced at Zeng Jingya, "Xiaoman is shy; in fact, the two of them already got their marriage certificate a few days ago. That day, Gu Feng was uncharacteristically romantic, taking her for a whole ride in a hot air balloon. This time Gu Feng is dead serious. No matter how satisfied I am with Xiaoman, even if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t dare make a peep now."

"When did we get hot air balloons in S City? Where is it? When I get some free time, I have to take my other half for a romantic adventure; life’s been as passionless as water lately."

Extremely curious, Zeng Jingya couldn’t help but say, "I definitely don’t believe you wouldn’t speak up if you were dissatisfied."

"The hot air balloon was a project Gu Feng and Xiaoyun worked on together; they even pulled some strings. I didn’t get the chance to go on a romantic excursion with old Gu either."

Though complaining, Xia Na’s face bore a smile, "It’s Gu Feng, no doubt about it, he’s set his heart on her. Without making a sound, he transferred all his property to her, including all the shares of the company, and even gave her a notarized ’promise’ that he would leave with nothing if they ever split up.

What’s the point of having a son? This brat never laid himself bare like this to me. Honestly, I would have been better off raising two daughters."

"You really crack me up, I’m still longing for a son. Having a son has its benefits; it’s like pulling someone else’s daughter into your own bowl.

Raising a daughter is the real loss; all your efforts end up for someone else’s household, not to mention the worry about her being mistreated by her mother-in-law or sisters-in-law. It’s too stressful. Would the world be a much easier place if every mother-in-law were as open-minded as you?"

Upon hearing Xia Na’s boastful "complaints," Zeng Jingya couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"What’s there not to be satisfied with? One son and one daughter, that’s a ’good’ character right there; it’s something others can’t even wish for. If you’re fed up, you might as well send your little girl over to me. Xiuwan’s about to give birth, the doctor confirmed it’s a boy, and your little girl is just three years older. She’d be a perfect child bride for my family, ’Three years older, she brings home the gold’ as they say," Xia Na joked.

"Let’s not talk about that. My little girl is tough, not at all like other girls who are gentle and quiet; probably was born the wrong gender. I’m afraid you wouldn’t last a day before getting scared and throwing her back at me, which would be quite embarrassing for me." Zeng Jingya casually refused with a joke.

"If you can’t bear to part with her, just say so," Xia Na shot her a look before teasing and then became serious again, "I’m planning to get Xiaoman two assistants. When you go out later, ask her if there’s anyone among the newer girls in the company she favors to promote; if not, we’ll recruit new ones, but her opinion is what counts."

"Okay," Zeng Jingya’s expression immediately became serious, and she nodded in agreement before stepping out.

Once outside, Zeng Jingya announced Xia Na’s decision, and Ye Man reacted with a bit of surprise—not so much that there were to be two assistants instead of one, but her expression didn’t change at all, clearly already aware of Xia Na’s decision.

In contrast, Li Qing’s complexion changed immediately, showing her resentment. Why? Clearly, she had more experience, having worked with the director for longer, and yet Ye Man, who had just transferred, was set to overshadow her.

Zeng Jingya watched and sighed, and then she remembered what Director Xia had just said. With her understanding of Director Xia, she knew that Director Xia intended to use her to spread the news about Ye Man being her son’s wife.

She decided to help Li Qing once more, so she smiled at Ye Man and said, "Ye Man, you’ve really kept it too tight. If I hadn’t just heard it from the director, I would still be in the dark.

Maybe I wouldn’t have found out until Gu Feng’s wedding, and then I would have discovered that our company’s once most eligible bachelor had already been monopolized by you."

"I didn’t mean to keep it from you," Ye Man suddenly remembered she had previously told Zeng Jingya that her boyfriend was an orphan, so she felt embarrassed at once.

"I understand, I understand. Such a handsome boyfriend, no matter what his background is, of course you have to scoop him into your bowl first." Zeng Jingya nodded with a smile and even winked at her.

"Xiaoman, your marriage partner is Gu Feng? Then our director is actually going to be your mother-in-law?" Li Qing was shocked and looked at Ye Man in disbelief. Seeing Ye Man nod her head, she suddenly remembered how loud her voice might have been a moment ago when she was teaching her how to deal with her in-laws, and wondered if the director had heard anything from inside?

"Why didn’t you say anything earlier?"

Li Qing turned pale and forced a strained smile, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment. That Ye Man must have done it on purpose, she couldn’t believe Ye Man could be so devious—

"..."

"..."

Ye Man and Zeng Jingya both silently looked at Li Qing, whose face had twisted in an exaggerated expression, and discreetly turned away. To avoid the awkward atmosphere, Zeng Jingya said to Ye Man, "Did you do the tasks I assigned you earlier? Is there anything you didn’t understand and need to ask me about?"

"Oh, there is. Sister Zeng, please explain this part to me." Ye Man willingly went along with Zeng Jingya’s suggestion, and the two of them leaned in close, one teaching and the other learning.

Now that she knew Ye Man was Xia Na’s favored daughter-in-law, Zeng Jingya had the intention of getting on good terms with her and started teaching her with even more dedication.

Ye Man had noticed the change in Zeng Jingya’s attitude before and after, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with that and immediately started to be warmer towards Zeng Jingya.

Which relationships between people don’t involve a bit of self-interest?

The only ones who truly wish you well without despising your lack of power and influence and barely demand anything of you are your parents. Out there, if you hold no value and can’t bring benefits to others, who would take a second glance at you or care about who you are?

There’s a saying that goes: Don’t be afraid of being used by people, fear that you are of no use to be taken advantage of.

Zeng Jingya was secretly pleased to see Ye Man catching on so quickly and immediately knew that this girl, with her unassuming appearance, was indeed exceptionally clever.
