After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 450 - 313: _2

She found Tang Xi too crude.

Qian Lin came over, grabbed her own coffee and pastry, "Minjia, eat mine, I can’t finish it alone anyway."

Gao Minjia’s demeanor was arrogant, "Tang Xi, next time you pick up takeout for me, be careful not to be too rough; this cream puff is expensive, and you’ve squashed it. Next time, deliver my takeout first then help the other colleagues."

Such shameless words.

Even the good-tempered Tang Xi’s smile stiffened.

Her fingertips paused on the keyboard.

Fang Yuan glanced at Xu Minjia and then at Tang Xi, signaling her to endure it.

Tang Xi took a deep breath and continued typing on the keyboard.

Focusing her attention on the computer screen in front of her.

She thought that would be the end of the matter.

But to her surprise, a few minutes later, Gao Minjia called out to her, "I have a package in the first-floor lobby; go fetch it for me."

Then she said to Qian Lin and Qu Xinrong, "It’s from an admirer of mine, a sunflower ring from Neus’s collection this quarter. I don’t really like it, but he insisted on giving it to me."

Qian Lin said, "Wow, that ring is hard to snag, it’s a hot item this season."

"Yeah, isn’t it the one Mr. Xu bought for you? He’s been pursuing you lately. Mr. Xu’s quite a catch, Minjia, why don’t you give him a chance? He even broke up with his ex-girlfriend for you."

Flattered, Gao Minjia was naturally happy, but she quickly turned dissatisfied and said to Tang Xi, "Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to fetch the delivery?"

Gao Minjia was used to bullying interns and new employees on regular days.

So when she saw that Tang Xi ignored her, she felt like she was losing face.

She raised her voice sharply and yelled again, "Tang Xi!"

Tang Xi turned around and gave Xu Minjia a cold look; she really thought she could order people around as she pleased.

Summoning and dismissing at whim!

Fang Yuan, holding a stack of freshly printed documents, walked over panting, "Minjia, what delivery do you need to fetch? I’ll get it for you."

Although Gao Minjia was unhappy and glared at Tang Xi, displeased by Tang Xi’s disregard, Fang Yuan came forward to help voluntarily, so she reluctantly nodded, "Then hurry up, don’t delay my business."

Fang Yuan was about to leave timidly when Tang Xi grabbed her.

Tang Xi stood up, and with an icy voice, said to Xu Minjia, "Fetch your own things. What right do you have to order other people around?"

Gao Minjia was taken aback, it seemed she hadn’t expected that, after years of bullying the newcomers here, there would be one who dared to defy her—and everybody in Design Department 1 knew that she was about to become the Deputy Director next quarter!

People should be rushing to curry favor with her, and yet she was being challenged?

Forget a newcomer; even if she asked Qian Lin to fetch deliveries or takeout for her, Qian Lin would nod and comply!

"Tang Xi, just you wait, I won’t let you off! Offend me, and you’ll have no good future at Fu’s. My uncle is a Mr. Fu at Fu’s, and I’m likely to be the Deputy Director as early as next month. We’ll see how I deal with you!!"

Gao Minjia was truly domineering, shouting out loud in the work area.

These words, not only the employees in Department 1 heard them but even Director You in the office heard them.

You Lili almost rolled her eyes out, immediately instructing her assistant, "Go out and find out what’s going on, and shut Gao Minjia up!! What’s all the fuss about? Does she have to let the whole department know just because she got in through connections? Is the draft out yet? Do we find it amusing to become the laughing stock of Design Department 2?!"

Assistant Xiao Lan immediately went out.

Watching Gao Minjia yelling and shouting in the office, Qian Lin and Qu Xinrong only made a token effort to stop her. Theirs was a plastic sisterhood, normally banding together to gossip and have afternoon tea, sniping others was one thing, but in the end, neither of them came from a background as affluent as Gao Minjia’s. Gao Minjia’s uncle in the Fu’s company supported her, and she was about to become the Deputy Director.

However, both of them got to where they are today through genuine talent and knowledge. They didn’t have such strong family support, so they had privately badmouthed Gao Minjia several times.

Now, both of them were hoping that Gao Minjia would make an even bigger scene.

Seeing Assistant Xiao Lan come out, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Lan went up to Gao Minjia and said a few words of persuasion.

Gao Minjia’s expression slightly changed, glaring at Tang Xi, but no longer continued to shout and scream.

Because just now, Xiao Lan had whispered in her ear, "Director You said, if you keep causing a ruckus, she’ll have you out."

You Lili has a fiery temper.

She could turn a blind eye to some minor issues.

But causing Design Department 1 to lose face and become a joke to other departments, especially when it’s our own department that’s the butt of the joke, really made her face burn.

So embarrassing.

The battle was temporarily halted, and Tang Xi returned to her workstation along with Fang Yuan, sitting down.

Qian Lin and Qu Xinrong went with Gao Minjia to pick up a package. When they got back to their workstations, they started to flatter Gao Minjia. Gao Minjia looked at the ring, tried it on, then posted it on Moments and Weibo.

Then, for the rest of the afternoon, all was calm, save for Gao Minjia’s occasional sarcastic comments, but Tang Xi didn’t care, putting on her headphones.

She even squeezed Fang Yuan’s wrist, telling the young girl not to be scared.

In the evening after work, Tang Xi sorted through the sketches she had finished in the afternoon, as they were already completed, she didn’t plan to take them home and left them on her desk.

She and Fang Yuan took a cab straight to the food street behind University Town.

The clay pot restaurant was full, and Tang Xi and Fang Yuan managed to snag the last double seat in the corner.

After ordering, Tang Xi took out her phone and sent Fu Tingzhou a message on WeChat, "I’m out eating with colleagues tonight, I’ll be back late."

Right after putting down her phone, the clay pot rice noodles were served.

The season in North City was just right for autumn, with a slightly cool evening breeze.

The steaming hot rice noodles were extra appetizing.

Accompanied by the vibration, Tang Xi’s phone screen lit up for a moment.

Fu Tingzhou: Mhm

A very simple response.

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but giggle, "Sister Tang Xi, that’s a message from your husband, right? You’re so beautiful, your husband must be quite outstanding too."

"
