“A person who understands a situation is a great man.”

The man’s long, fair fingers flipped through the pages of the agreement as he looked through it, hiding his enthusiasm with his indifferent behavior. He then said while tapping on the table, “You’re arranging for Xia Zhiya to become Young Master Ou’s wife? That won’t do, so arrange another one.”

Xia Dengfeng only had two daughters, so he could only arrange for Xia Zhiwan to get married if the man did not want Xia Zhiya, right? Was he an enemy that Xia Zhiwan provoked? Nonetheless, Xia Dengfeng did not ask the reason and just quickly agreed. After all, he was also reluctant to send Xia Zhiya off to another family so quickly.

Once Xia Zhiya knew that she did not have to marry that paralyzed vegetable from the Ou family, she was thrilled instantly. “That’s great! However, dad, why did you change your mind?”

“Just be happy and don’t ask about it.” Xia Dengfeng did not want to tell others about that mysterious man, so he carefully avoided Xia Zhiya’s question.

Xia Zhiya was also obedient and did not continue asking. She was satisfied as long as she did not have to marry that trash. She even started to imagine Xia Zhiwan’s bitter, widow-like life after marrying him, and a wicked smile appeared from the corners of her lips.

“Dad, then let me tell this good news to sis~”

The news that the Xia Corporation had been bought over could only be announced after some time. Xia Zhiwan, who did not know what happened, arrived at the company nervously like a rookie in the workforce.

Once she stepped into the spacious office, she immediately felt the frightening pressure there. All of her colleagues were working hard. Only a few of them glanced at her curiously and quickly lowered their heads.

“Hello? It’s my first day here. May I know where I should go?”

Xia Zhiwan asked the girl with short hair at the first desk politely. However, the girl rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Are you blind? Or are you illiterate?”

Only then did she see the desk at the corner with her nameplate.

Xia Zhiwan did not understand why the girl would behave this rudely, but she still thanked the girl and went over to the desk to put down her things.

The moment she sat on the chair, the chair leg broke immediately. She fell in surprise and sat on the floor in confusion.

“Hahaha— Why isn’t the Elder Miss going to a private office? Instead, she has to squeeze with us here?”

“Keep it down. She’ll hear what you say. I guess she wants to pretend to be someone friendly. Don’t ladies from rich families like to do that?”

“This doesn’t seem to be the case. She’s most likely just here to suffer because she’s incompetent!”

Gossip spread throughout the office, causing Xia Zhiwan to become flustered. She checked her chair awkwardly and realized that it had been fiddled with.

She glanced at her colleagues, who were just gossiping happily. However, they were all working with their heads down at that moment, acting as if they did not see anything.

Xia Zhiwan sneered and immediately knew who was the one who did it.

No matter how much of a joke she was, she still did not hold any grudges against her colleagues. Therefore, they did not need to put in the effort to prank her.

If someone was targeting her, they must have been instructed by the general manager, Xia Zhiya.

Nonetheless, they were just a bunch of fence-sitters, so she did not need to care about them.

Xia Zhiwan calmed down and regained her composure. She did not act like a proud lady at all. She even asked a busy-looking girl in a ponytail politely, “Is there anything that I can help you with?”

She did not seem to appreciate Xia Zhiwan but did not say anything rude either. She just hesitated for a moment and said, “I can’t let the Elder Miss help me. However, if you want to do something… Help me print these documents.”

Xia Zhiwan agreed immediately. Just as she was about to go print the documents, she was called by Supervisor Xie to make some coffee.

She was a newcomer, so it was natural for her to do these trivial tasks. Xia Zhiwan adjusted herself and did all the tasks with a smile.

However, when the coffee was served, Supervisor Xie glanced at Xia Zhiwan in disdain with her sharp eyes with eyeliner, seemingly observing her. She pretended to take a sip, then splashed the hot coffee in the cup onto Xia Zhiwan, complaining about it.

“Why does it taste so bad? You better leave soon if you can’t even do such a trivial task properly!”
