BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47 - 47: Unworthy
Then, another group entered with jewelry and bags.
Pei Xin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly said to Chen Sheng, “I don’t need them. I’ll just wear ordinary clothes. There’s no need to wear such expensive clothes. Besides, I don’t have that much money on me right now. I can’t afford anything here.”
When she used to be the heiress of the Pei family, the clothes and bags she wore every year were the latest styles of the season.
However, it had been five years since she had lived that kind of life. Now that she saw these new designs that were much more fashionable five years ago, Pei Xin felt uneasy.
Chen Sheng smiled and explained. “Ms. Pei Xin, you don’t have to pay for any of this. You will be the assistant to the face of the company. You’ll be following him to high-end places to close deals. These clothes and bags are important to show who you are working for. If you don’t wear them, wouldn’t you be embarrassing President Li? You don’t need to feel burdened, these are just necessary attire for work.”
Pei Xin couldn’t say anything else after hearing his reasoning.
She had to convince herself that these items were here only for work hours.
After work hours, she would wear her usual clothes.
Pei Xin nodded. “I understand.”
“Let’s go, Ms. Pei Xin. I’ll be the one sending you to work,” Chen Sheng said after these people had placed her clothes and bags for show.
Pei Xin was a little surprised. “Did you come all the way here to send me to work?”
Chen Sheng smiled. “Of course not. Today is your first day. If I don’t show you around, how will you know where to go in the future?”
Pei Xin nodded. She felt much more at ease knowing that Chen Sheng was here to lead her.
If Chen Sheng had to pick her up to work every day in the future, she would feel indebted to him. She felt like she was not worthy of his time.
After getting into the car, Chen Sheng said, “President Li has arranged a driver for you. When you get off work today, Driver Zhang will pick you up.”
Pei Xin immediately replied, “There’s no need. 1 know a little about taking the subway and bus now. There’s no need to have a driver send me home.”
“Ms. Pei Xin, you know very well that those people in Beijing won’t let you off easily. If you go to work alone and meet them in public, what will you do?” Chen Sheng explained.
“Our driver will pick you up and drop you off. As long as you go to work at the company and get home safe, it won’t be so easy for others to track your whereabouts.”
What Chen Sheng said made sense, so she agreed.
Soon, Pei Xin followed Chen Sheng to the office building.
She looked at the people in suits who were busy at work and felt very uneasy.
She had once yearned for such a corporate job.
According to her plan, she wanted to find a job after graduating from university. She dreamed the dream of designing her favorite clothes and jewelry.
Unfortunately, she reached prison before reaching her goals.
The beautiful vision she had in the past was shattered.
She had never thought that she would be able to work in such a building.
Pei Xin was nervous, but there was also a trace of longing in her.
Will she ever have a chance to start over?
Chen Sheng brought Pei Xin to a private elevator.
This elevator was usually only allowed for Li Ze and Chen Sheng to use, so when Chen Sheng brought Pei Xin into the elevator, the receptionist immediately took a photo of their backs and sent it to the group.
The receptionist wrote, [Who is this woman? Secretary Chen Sheng is using President Li’s elevator to bring her around.]
Someone immediately replied, [Is that President Li’s new lover? Or a rich family’s daughter?]
The receptionist replied, [I took a look. She’s quite good-looking, but she looks quite reserved. She looks like she hasn’t been exposed to the real world.]
The person replied, [Well if she gives off a sense of inferiority, she shouldn’t be the daughter of a rich family, right?]
Everyone in the group was guessing Pei Xin’s identity the moment the elevator door chimed.
When Pei Xin followed Chen Sheng into the office floor where Li Ze was, the staff who seemed to be busy working were also quietly sizing Pei Xin up..
