Chapter 310: I Feel Nauseous
Chapter 310: I Feel Nauseous
Yang Qiongying's objective was achieved, and Jiang Xia was genuinely busy that afternoon.
When it was time to close the exhibition hall, all the foreign merchants had left, and as Zhou Chenglei came to pick up Jiang Xia, she was still busy arranging the display of clothes and buttons.
Since they weren't products of the textile factory, the employees casually hung up the clothes and randomly placed the buttons, considering it sufficient as long as they were neat.
Jiang Xia took the opportunity to tidy up the display when she had a chance. Only by arranging things well could she attract people's attention at first glance.
When Peng Yuhua saw Zhou Chenglei arrive, she smiled and said, "Comrade Zhou is here. Xia Xia, you can go back and rest now! You've been busy all day, and you must be tired."
"Okay, then I'll be off," Jiang Xia replied without hesitation, as she had plans with He Lao. She bid farewell and left with Zhou Chenglei.
Peng Yuhua then said to the other employees, "You all should also finish up and go for dinner!"
Everyone responded and quickly packed up their things to leave for the day.
Wen Wan chose the nearest safety staircase to descend quickly.
After a tiring day, she just wanted to eat and return to the guest house to sleep as soon as possible.
Wen Wan hurried down the stairs, but as she turned the corner, she saw Zhou Chenglei carrying Jiang Xia downstairs.
Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia, "Are you tired?"
"Yes, but I'm happy even if I'm tired," Jiang Xia replied.
Resting her head on Zhou Chenglei's left shoulder, Jiang Xia said softly, "This afternoon, I earned over four thousand yuan. I met several foreign merchants who own garment factories, and they ordered five thousand sewing machines, a lot of fabric, buttons..."
Jiang Xia's gentle voice brushed past his ear as she recounted the day's achievements.
Zhou Chenglei listened intently with steady steps, not wanting to miss a single nuance of her words.
However, a set of hurried footsteps interrupted Jiang Xia.
Zhou Chenglei, carrying Jiang Xia, turned to look back.
Jiang Xia also turned to look.
They saw Wen Wan, but neither of them paid her any attention.
Zhou Chenglei continued carrying Jiang Xia, moving to the side and descending at a steady pace.
Wen Wan slowed down as well, following behind them without overtaking.
Earlier, she had overheard Jiang Xia mention earning over four thousand yuan, and despite biting her lip, she couldn't help but say, "Jiang Xia, I won't be able to assist you tomorrow. Don't ask me to help you, I'm not just a helper, I'm a translator, and I have my own work to do!"
Today, she had been Jiang Xia's assistant for the entire afternoon. Jiang Xia had sold a lot of fabric, clothes, buttons, brooches, and other accessories, and even several sewing machines. In contrast, Wen Wan hadn't sold a single button and hadn't earned a penny in commission.
Jiang Xia's earnings wouldn't be split with her, so there was no way she would help Jiang Xia again tomorrow.
Jiang Xia was baffled, "When did I ask you to help me?"
Wen Wan replied, "Peng Factory Manager assigned me to assist you. But I have my own work to do. We're all here to sell things and earn commissions. If I help you, how can I sell my own products? Moreover, you won't share your earnings with me, so why should I help you?"
Jiang Xia felt she was being unreasonable, "If Peng Factory Manager asked you to help me, you should ask her why, not me! Understand?"
Zhou Chenglei's voice turned cold, "She understands, but she doesn't dare. She only dares to pick on you, the soft target! I'll ask her about it tomorrow. Ignore her!"
Did he think he was dead?
What gave her the right to question Jiang Xia?
Wen Wan was so angry that her eyes turned red!
Who was picking on the soft target? Who was afraid?
She spoke as if she was someone who bullied the weak but feared the strong!
It was Jiang Xia who had been oppressing and enslaving her all along!
And now she wasn't allowed to refuse?
"Go ahead and ask! I'm just stating the facts!"
Jiang Xia nodded, "Okay, then we'll ask tomorrow. Zhou Chenglei, let's walk faster, there's a sour smell, and I feel nauseous.
"
They had reached the first floor, and Zhou Chenglei, in a hurry, took the last few steps in one stride and opened the safety door. Carrying Jiang Xia on his back, he strode out.
Wen Wan watched as the door closed again, her anger rising!
She felt both angry and wronged!
Neither of them was human!
One only knew how to threaten her, and the other enslaved her!
She felt like vomiting when she saw Jiang Xia.
So shameless, letting a man carry her in public!
Who are they trying to disgust?
Who did Jiang Xia think she was? They were all just workers! Zhou Chenglei was nothing now, just a fisherman! And Jiang Xia was just a village woman!
What right did Jiang Xia have to order her around?
They were the disgusting ones!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Wen Wan stomped downstairs in her high heels, making a loud "thud, thud, thud" sound.
Then she twisted her ankle!
She lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs.
"Ah~"
"Help!"
"Help! Help..."
Outside the Exhibition Hall, by the Highway
Yang Qiongying saw a taxi pull over to the side of the road. Seeing no one inside, she quickly approached and opened the door.
The driver glanced at her and said, "Sorry, this car has already been booked."
Yang Qiongying hadn't expected this. She was in a hurry to meet Ye Xian and then go home for dinner, so she said, "Anyway, the person who booked it with you hasn't shown up. I'll pay extra, please take me first. It's not far. There aren't many people at the exhibition hall now, and the booked person will be able to find another taxi soon."
The driver shook his head. "No, they've already paid, and they're coming."
During the Canton Fair, taxi fares were already expensive. The other party was willing to pay an extra ten yuan per trip just to ensure timely transportation. How could the driver possibly break the agreement?
"Then it's perfect timing, they'll let me have the car when they arrive." Yang Qiongying turned around and was surprised to see Jiang Xia and the other three.
Jiang Xia, Zhou Chenglei, Zhang Fuyan, and Jiang Dong approached.
This taxi had been booked by Zhou Chenglei the afternoon before, agreeing with the driver to pay an extra ten yuan per trip to secure the vehicle.
He had booked the taxi for two trips, one in the morning to pick someone up at the hotel and another in the evening to pick someone up at the exhibition hall.
Yang Qiongying noticed that Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan were walking very close to each other, which made her unhappy.
Zhang Fuyan greeted her with a smile, "Aunt Yang."
Jiang Xia also smiled politely and said, "Where is Director Yang going? Do you need us to give you a ride?"
In the afternoon, those factories had approached her, saying that Yang Qiongying had made the arrangements. Regardless of the reason, they were essentially giving her money, so Jiang Xia invited her generously.
Yang Qiongying was going to the guesthouse to meet Ye Xian. How could she let Jiang Xia give her a ride? She smiled and said, "No need, you go back to the hotel, and I'm going home. It's not on the way. You go first!"
After saying this, she stepped aside to let Jiang Xia and the others go ahead.
Yang Qiongying thought to herself, "They should let me have the taxi and go first, right? After all, I'm both their senior and their director."
"Then we'll go first! We have an appointment." Jiang Xia was also straightforward and didn't mind Zhang Fuyan's embarrassment. She got into the car and said, "Xiao Yan, get in quickly!"
Yang Qiongying: "..."
They really don't know how to respect their superiors!
"Aunt Yang, then I'll get in first!" Zhang Fuyan smiled, greeted her, and got into the car.
Yang Qiongying forced a smile and nodded, "Okay!"
Jiang Dong reached out to shield the top of the car, helping the two of them. After they got in, he also sat down and closed the door.
Zhou Chenglei walked to the front passenger seat.
The taxi then drove onto the highway.
Yang Qiongying saw that Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan were sitting side by side, which made her unhappy.
Tonight, she would ask Ye Xian clearly when she and Jiang Dong could get back together!
