The atmosphere calmed down, and she began to look solemn and said: "I went to a meeting out of town for that incident. I was not there. When the meeting came, I heard other people talk about it."
Shui Xi smiled bitterly: "I must have disappointed the editor-in-chief. I am such a miserable person."
"No, I believe you are not the kind of person they say. Even if there is evidence, I still believe that you have no choice but to face difficulties. I have always been very accurate in seeing people. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Your eyes allow me to see you.
You have a delicate and clear heart." She said firmly.
"Chief Editor..." Shui Xi looked at her in shock, his voice almost choked with sobs.
She thought she was already infamous in the magazine, and that everyone spurned her and despised her, but she didn't expect that there was still such a person who thought highly of her and trusted her, which was heart-warming.
"The situation has come to this. You can no longer stay in the magazine. No one can bear the harsh cynicism every day." She sighed.
"But when I signed the five-year contract, didn't you say that I had to stay at the magazine for five years?" Shui Xi expressed her concerns.
"I brought that contract. You can take this contract and leave. Don't come here again." She took out the contract in her hand and handed it to Shui Xi.
Shui Xi took the contract and flipped through the pages to see that it was indeed the five-year labor contract she had signed.
Looking at the contract that bound her to a contract of prostitution, Shui Xi's eyes filled with joy and sourness filled with tears, and the hand holding the contract trembled with excitement.
"I took this contract to you when Xia Lan went out. You should quickly take the contract and leave. If she comes back, you won't be able to leave so easily." She urged.
Since Xia Lan took her place as the chief editor, she has been very strict with her subordinates, including her of course. She is even more harsh than her subordinates. Yes, her position is higher than hers with great difficulty.
, naturally wanted to avenge the pain of losing his brother.
She has always known that Xia Lan is a very thoughtful person. Once she hates someone, her hatred for that person will always be remembered and difficult to erase. She will take revenge whenever she gets the chance. Ever since she worked with Xia Lan
, she secretly retaliated against him many times.
Because of this, Shui Xi's incident was exposed on the magazine forum, and she suspected that Xia Lan was responsible.
From the last elevator incident, Xia Lan's strong hatred for Shui Xi made her feel that her suspicions were accurate, because she had been assassinated many times before, and after the incident, after investigation and careful consideration, it was all related to Xia Lan.
Shui Xi is a very simple person. Naturally, she would not have expected that Xia Lan would be such a scheming person who holds such a grudge. However, she cannot tell Shui Xi Xia Lan's true identity because Xia Lan is her cousin no matter what.
.
"Thank you, editor-in-chief." She said with sincere gratitude, but she also had concerns: "Is it okay if you just give me this contract? If Xia Lan finds out that you are handling the contract in private and reports it to the boss, the consequences will be serious."
This contract is not a formal contract for employees in the magazine at all.
In fact, she used clever words to get Shui Xi to sign two contracts, one was the company's official contract, and the other was a five-year contract that Ling Yucheng asked her to sign to restrain Shui Xi.
Shui Xi didn't understand the reason. She always thought that she had signed a five-year contract, but in fact, the contract had no effect at all, and it had been kept by her, so naturally there would be no consequences.
But she couldn't tell Shui Xi this.
She thought about her speech for a while and had to reveal the private matter that she had been hiding: "Shui Xi, there is something you don't know. Xia Lan is actually my cousin. Even if I handle your contract privately, she won't do anything to me."
Something like that.”
Shui Xi didn't expect that she and Xia Lan had such a relationship, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
No wonder Shui Xi was so surprised. Normally, Xia Lan and her had a completely superior-subordinate relationship, and there was no clue that they were actually relatives.
"Xia Lan is coming soon. Please take the contract and leave quickly. Don't wait any longer." She urged, lest Shui Xi ask about her specific relationship with Xia Lan.
Shui Xi was pushed by her and walked out of the office with the contract in hand.
Just like when I arrived, they looked at me with contempt and disgust, as well as their harsh cynicism.
However, now that she has received this contract, she has nothing to worry about.
He smiled at them and said these words: "Just be jealous of me, I will live n times better than you."
They were so angry that they all gnashed their teeth and beat their chests and feet.
"Bai Shuixi, don't be so proud. Just watch, Ling Muze will dump you in a few days." A trembling finger pointed at her.
Shui Xi smiled even more happily: "You didn't even have a chance to be dumped by her. I really sympathize with you. Even if you want to be his mistress, he won't like it."
"Bai Shuixi, you, you, you..." The man was so angry at her that he almost vomited blood.
Shui Xi glanced coldly at those who hated her and walked out of the office proudly.
However, as soon as she walked out of the office, all her high arrogance suddenly disappeared, and she leaned against the wall weakly. God knows how hard she had just endured.
Looking at the contract in her hand, she exhaled and finally felt relieved.
She stood up and was about to leave, but she saw Xia Lan walking towards her. Xia Lan was also surprised when she saw her.
Anyway, she no longer needs to stay in the magazine office, so there is no need to look at Xia Lan's face.
She walked towards Xia Lan with her head held high, and Xia Lan also walked towards her in professional formal attire.
The two stopped just one step away from each other.
The atmosphere was solemn and tense, with invisible undercurrents flowing.
"Xia Lan, we will never see each other again." Shui Xi left these words and was about to leave her.
Xia Lan looked at her with cold eyes, and her voice was even colder: "Bai Shuixi, I have to say that you are really capable. You can hook up with Ling Muze. I can't help but admire you. But,
You are the only one who can act like a man's plaything. If I were you, I would never be so shameless."
Shui Xi secretly clenched her hands and smiled indifferently at her, then said sarcastically: "Really? If Ling Muze wants you to be his mistress, I'm afraid you will smile from ear to ear before agreeing.
It’s just that you don’t even bother to be his mistress. You make me feel so pitiful and sad about you.”
She doesn't want to hurt anyone, but she can no longer be weak and let others hurt her.
If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.
If someone offends me, I will offend him.
This is what she just realized. If you don't fight back, others will think you are weak and easy to bully, and they will treat you harder. Only by fighting back can you prevent yourself from being hurt even more.
Xia Lan, you have despised me to the dust, and I don’t have to be so kind to consider your feelings.
Xia Lan's body was trembling slightly because of her words, and he glared at her angrily. Just as he was about to retort, Shui Xi had already walked past her towards the elevator in a cool manner.
"Bai Shuixi, you are such a mouthful. Even if I love Ling Yucheng no more, I will never let you be so shamelessly willing to be his mistress." Xia Lan shouted at her angrily.
Shui Xi walked straight towards the elevator as if she didn't hear him.
Bai Shuixi, don't be so proud of me. I won't let you go. I want you to suffer more alive than dead.
Seeing Shui Xi walking into the elevator coldly and arrogantly, Xia Lan trembled with anger, pinched her fingers tightly into her palms, and oozed bright red blood, and swore secretly.
After leaving the magazine, Shui Xi was relaxed physically and mentally, playing with Tangtang at home, taking Tangtang for a walk by the lake, watching TV, surfing the Internet, and sleeping until midnight every day. Her life was unprecedentedly comfortable and relaxing.
This kind of life was something she had always longed for when she was working. Now that it was actually in front of her, she naturally wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.
It's just that at night, in the dead of night, she will think of the past, and think of the people she cares about leaving her one by one, and her mood will be so low that she can't help crying. Once she sheds tears, she can't control them.
What's more serious is that when she is lying on the bed, what Ling Muze did to her on this bed always comes to mind, whether it is arrogant or domineering, which makes her restless and makes it difficult to sleep.
Thinking about what he is doing now? Thinking about whether he is holding a beautiful woman on the bed and lingering until death? Thinking about whether he is tired of it and doesn't even bother to use her?
As I think about it, my chest will feel tight and sore, and I will try every means not to think about him. However, once I calm down and face the bed where the two of them have slept together, his figure will appear in my mind again, and again.
Go think about those messy things.
After taking a break, Shui Xi was eager to find a new job.
Once you are involved in intense work, you will be very tired after a busy day. When you get home, you will fall asleep when you touch the pillow while lying on the bed. You will not think about all the things and feel sorry for yourself, just like a resentful woman who was abandoned.
.
However, she only has a junior high school diploma. It is difficult to find a better job in the most prosperous city in the country.
After much deliberation, she finally wanted to find a job in a magazine. Because she had relevant experience working in a magazine, she would be more likely to be hired.
After searching the recruitment website, she found out that three magazines were recruiting intern reporters.
Two of them are women's magazines that are not very famous, while the other one is the country's leading sales magazine. "Men's Style" magazine where she worked originally has always wanted to surpass "Charming Man" magazine.
Shui Xi thought that "Charming Man" magazine was too well-known, and it was the highest-selling men's magazine in the country. There must be many applicants, but she only had a junior high school diploma, and her job at the magazine was not outstanding, so she felt left out.
The likelihood of being hired is slim.
So, she thought about going to those two women's magazines for interviews, so that she might be able to pass. She didn't even dare to think about getting into "Charming Man" magazine.
However, the result of her application was always that the interviewer saw that her education was only junior high school and asked her out without even looking at her. She was so angry that she really wanted to dump her resume on the interviewer who only valued academic qualifications.
