half thorns, half joy

No matter how Tang Xuan asked the editor, the editor never responded to Tang Xuan again. Tang Xuan's manuscripts were written on a weekly basis, and her previous manuscript fees were not in arrears, so if the editor did not reply to her, she would not even have a chance to defend herself.

Tang Xuan slammed the table angrily, the loud noise woke up the sleeping baby.

The baby suddenly burst into tears.

"Be good, baby, don't cry, be good." The confinement wife who was guarding the door quickly walked in, picked up the baby and began to coax her.

Tang Xuan felt a little guilty when she heard the baby's howling, "Sorry, I was in a bad mood just now."

The confinement lady coaxed the baby, looked at Tang Xuan, and stopped talking for a while, before finally speaking.

"Um...Miss Cai, she seems to have called someone and said she doesn't want you anymore..." Madam Yue didn't hear clearly, so she could only vaguely convey it to Tang Xuan.

Although the relationship between Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan seemed strange, after getting along for such a period of time, Yuesao still had a good impression of Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan instantly understood why the editor suddenly refused to let her write manuscripts.

"That's right." Tang Xuan gave a wry smile, and sat down on the bed, looking down at the pattern on the bed sheet, feeling panicked.

She has browsed so many web pages, checked so many information, and determined a stable job with all her heart, but it was over with a word from Cai Lin.

It's so ironic.

What's even more ironic is that just now she kept asking the editor if there was something wrong with her writing, and if she had any new requirements.

It turned out that these reasons were not at all.

"Miss Tang, are you okay?" Yue Yue couldn't help feeling a little worried when she saw Tang Xuan's distraught appearance.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

As a paid worker, Yuesao knew that she didn't have much right to intervene in these matters, so she could only comfort Tang Xuan, "Miss Tang, don't be too sad, look, the baby is smiling at you."

Tang Xuan looked up at the baby. The baby, who was out of breath from crying just now, still had tears in the corners of his eyes, but smiled at her with a grin.

At that moment, Tang Xuan's mood immediately changed for the better.

If the job is gone, look for it again. Anyway, I have found a little way. If you look for it next time, you should still be able to find it.Tang Xuan comforted herself psychologically.

……

Cai Lin left Xiao's house and got into the car sullenly.

Both Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan have gone abroad, and she doesn't know anyone who can play well in China alone, so she has no one to complain about.

But even if Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan were there, Cai Lin didn't want to tell them that after coming back for more than a month, Cai Lin already had a new understanding, that is, both of them were deceived by Tang Xuan's pretending to be weak.

After much deliberation, Cai Lin finally asked Lin Qiaoer for help.

She sent a text message and told Lin Qiaoer exactly what happened when she went to Tang Xuan and was beaten by Tang Xuan.

Lin Qiaoer replied very slowly to the text messages, Cai Lin felt aggrieved, so she repeatedly asked Lin Qiaoer when she would finish her work, and she wanted to find her.

Lin Qiaoer, who was drinking with the men, saw Cai Lin's aggrieved tone, she changed her mind, and said to the man beside her, "A little sister is coming, do you welcome her?"

"Chicken?" The men present teased lewdly.

Lin Qiaoer glared coquettishly, "Don't be kidding, in this day and age, if you are looking for Chu'er, go to the junior high school, okay?"

"Haha, are you pretty?" The man was only joking, not serious.

"It's okay, but I have a boyfriend, so be careful." Lin Qiaoer typed the address to Cai Lin, and told the men present, "The little girl is a little angry, please coax her."

The men clicked their tongues, "Qiaoer, what kind of coaxing are you talking about?"

Lin Qiaoer picked up a glass of wine, lowered the glass and clinked glasses with the man, "If you have this thing, how can you coax it?"

"Then it's over..."

"It's up to you." Lin Qiaoer thought of Cai Jinyu, and said deliberately: "But let me remind you, this is Cai Jinyu's younger sister, you can't force it, you know?"

The few present here are rich second generations who love to play, so they naturally know Cai Jinyu, but they are not on the same side as Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan, so they also disdain them.

"Why, we can't play with Cai Jinyu's sister?"

"That's right. Besides, when people come, it's not certain who will take the initiative. Don't blame us."

Lin Qiaoer showed a satisfied smile, and still reminded her: "Anyway, you should be careful, she has some status after all, you can seduce and seduce any way you want, but you just can't force it, you can't use the same way to deal with ordinary girls, you know ?”

The man smiled knowingly, "Hey, that's just for romance, right?"

A group of people laughed, and Lin Qiaoer's heart was full of revenge. That night, what Cai Jinyu said to her and her tears were like a steel needle piercing her flesh and blood, making her grit her teeth angrily.

After making up her mind to give Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu some flair, Lin Qiaoer changed her strategy. She didn't take the initiative to approach Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan, but kept in touch with Cai Lin secretly.

Of course, in the company, she will still attend some cooperation project meetings and banquets, and greet Xiao Zihan intimately.

At the same time, she also made a bunch of new friends.

As Lin Qiaoer, who has money, background and family background, it is not easy to become friends with these idle rich second generations.

The reason why Lin Qiaoer made friends with these people was because these people didn't deal with Xiao Zihan, and they didn't like Xiao Zihan's prudish appearance.

Lin Qiaoer also looked down on this group of people, but in order to take Xiao Zihan down, she could only join forces with these people.

More than half an hour later, Cai Lin sent a text message to Lin Qiaoer, saying that she had arrived.

"I'll pick up my little sister." Lin Qiaoer stood up with a smile, "You guys, be serious first, don't scare my little sister away."

"Hey, what do you need to say?"

Although none of the people here are good people, they all look like dogs, and when they look serious, they can't see the appearance of the second generation ancestor.

"Qiaoer, why are you here?" Cai Lin took a deep look at the name of the club standing at the door, and looked at Lin Qiaoer suspiciously.

Lin Qiaoer said without changing her face: "I just talked about a project, and I came over with some uncle's children. This is opened by an uncle's son, someone I know."

Cai Lin nodded ignorantly, "That's it."

It sounds like you are cheering for a friend.

"Come on, go in and sit." Lin Qiaoer took Cai Lin's wrist, "We are friends who work together, don't be restrained."

"Ah."

Cai Lin originally wanted to say that she wanted to chat with Lin Qiaoer alone, but Lin Qiaoer didn't give her this chance at all, so she took Cai Lin into the box.

The few people in the box really pretended to be serious and greeted Cai Lin.

"Hi."

Although Cai Lin doesn't like to play with that trigram, she has seen the world, so she nodded politely immediately, "Hi, hello."

Lin Qiaoer pulled Cai Lin to sit on the sofa, and said to Cai Lin: "Since you have come here today, let's relax."

Cai Lin looked at the wine bottle in front of her and shook her head slightly, "Qiaoer, I don't drink."

"Is that so?" Lin Qiaoer sighed pretentiously, "Hey, look at me, I don't know about this, but I want to say, if you are in a bad mood, drink some wine and be happy."

"Indeed, drinking can relieve boredom." The man next to him chimed in.

Cai Lin was a little shaken, one was because she was really angry, and the other was that Lin Qiaoer also picked up the wine glass to drink, and if she didn't drink it, she seemed hypocritical.

Seeing Cai Lin's hesitation, Lin Qiaoer took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Cai Lin, "It's okay, I'm right next to you, if you're drunk, I'll take you home."

"Then... I'll just drink a little." Cai Lin trusted Lin Qiaoer, she took the glass and took a sip. "Ah, it's so hard to drink."

"Have you never drunk before?" Lin Qiaoer looked at Cai Lin suspiciously.

Cai Lin shook her head, "I've never had this kind of beer, I always drink red wine."

The man sitting closest to Cai Lin snapped his fingers and called the waiter, "Two bottles of red wine."

"Ah, no need." Cai Lin immediately waved her hand.

The man looked at Cai Lin lovingly and said, "Little sister, aren't you unhappy? Since you're here, let's have a good time."

Still embarrassed, Cai Lin turned her head to look at Lin Qiaoer's face.

Lin Qiaoer smiled kindly, and patted Cai Lin on the shoulder, "It's okay, let him treat you, you can order whatever you want."

"Well, thank you." Cai Lin lowered her eyebrows and thanked the man.

The corner of the man's mouth couldn't restrain a smile, but he still said sullenly, "You're welcome, you are Qiaoer's friend, that is, our friend. Since you are here, we have to treat you well."

After finishing speaking, while Cai Lin was not paying attention, he and Lin Qiaoer looked at each other.

Each other's eyes are full of calculations.

Alcohol is something that can paralyze the nerves and make people lose themselves. Lin Qiaoer deliberately poured Cai Lin, and Cai Lin became drunk after a while.

She lazily leaned on Lin Qiaoer's shoulder, constantly complaining about the grievances she had received from Tang Xuan just now.

Lin Qiaoer heard that Cai Lin was so towards her, and for a while, she was a little bit reluctant to attack Cai Lin.

But the men here, especially those who spent tens of thousands of dollars on wine, don't intend to just let Cai Lin go.

Seeing that Cai Lin was too drunk to sit upright, he immediately leaned over and asked ambiguously, "Little sister, do you have a boyfriend?"

Cai Lin nodded heavily, "I have."

"You have a boyfriend, who is your boyfriend?" The man was thinking in his heart, if it was someone he knew, he couldn't help but strike.

Cai Lin muttered a series of Italian words, and said brokenly: "This...his name is this."

The man didn't understand, so he let out an ah.

Lin Qiaoer explained to Cai Lin, "Her boyfriend is a foreigner, an Italian, not in China."

"Oh..." The man let out a long sigh, "Foreigner, then you should... be quite open."

"What?" Cai Lin's head was racing, and she couldn't hear the man's words clearly, so she squinted her eyes and glanced at the man.

Cai Lin was already cute. Years of pampering and deliberate cultivation had cultivated her temperament perfectly. This intoxicating glance immediately made the man stunned.

Without even thinking about it, the man kissed Cai Lin directly.

"Hmm..." Although Cai Lin was not quite sober and her reaction was slow, she was still aware of what the man was doing.

She opened her mouth and took a hard bite.

"Hiss—" the man let go of Cai Lin in pain, Cai Lin pushed the man away with all her strength, and shouted with her tongue out, "You...what are you doing!"

Seeing that Cai Lin was about to wake up, Lin Qiaoer quickly slapped the man, and pretended to shout: "Hey! What are you doing! Are you drunk!"

Of course the man was not drunk, but he immediately understood, and raised his hands towards Cai Lin apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I was a little drunk just now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Cai Lin wiped her mouth, frowned and said nothing.

Lin Qiaoer held Cai Lin's hand and continued to pretend, "Linlin, I apologize to you on his behalf. Are you okay?"

"Forget it, it's okay." If Cai Lin was sober at the moment, she would definitely leave immediately angrily.

But at this time, her body was soft and she was still leaning on Lin Qiaoer, so she couldn't get angry when she heard Lin Qiaoer's apologetic tone.

She thought dully, just treat it as... being bitten by a dog and forget it.

But what Cai Lin didn't know was that her concession directly sent a wrong message to Lin Qiaoer and the man.

A message that almost broke her afterwards.
