Chapter-9
345 Words
Watching Lu Jiming, Xu Sitian, and Shi Ying walking ahead, Lu Jiming and Xu Sitian looked so well - matched, like a perfect couple. The handsome and wealthy man and the beautiful and affluent woman were truly a feast for the eyes. Ning Meng, a mere nobody, felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Beside them, Shi Ying stood tall and confident, with a Hermès bag on her arm, a Tiffany diamond ring glistening on her finger, and her Chanel suit exuding a subtle fragrance. All these luxury items accentuated the elite charm of a successful woman.
Looking down at herself, Ning Meng felt that she was incredibly inconspicuous, like a background wall that left no mark on others.
After seeing off Shi Ying and Xu Sitian, Ning Meng sat at her workstation in a daze. Lu Jiming had already left work earlier. Before leaving, he had casually told her that she had done a good job today. There was no one else in the company except her. She could now quietly sort out the determination that had been building up in her heart all afternoon. This determination, which had been spurred on by Shi Ying and Xu Sitian, could no longer be contained.
She really didn't want to be a secretary anymore. She yearned to become a successful elite woman like Shi Ying, someone who shone brightly wherever she went. She clenched her fists, silently reinforcing her belief. Tomorrow, she must tell Lu Jiming clearly that she was done being a secretary; she wanted to work on projects! At worst, she would be fired. It wasn't the end of the world. She shouldn't be overly afraid of losing her job and not having a new opportunity. After all, Shi Ying seemed to think highly of her... Perhaps if she really lost her job and approached Shi Ying, the latter would take her in... So she set a small goal for herself in her heart. In the future, she hoped to become a renowned gold - medal investment director in the industry within five years.
