Xia Xibei remembered Zhuang Xiao’ai quite well, and she couldn’t help but be curious when she saw her there.
“Zhuang Xiao’ai?”
Hearing her name called, Zhuang Xiao’ai immediately looked up.
She was instantly stunned at the sight of Xia Xibei.
“Sister Bei?! How come you’re here?”
Xia Xibei walked over. Seeing the things in her hands, she frowned and asked, “Aren’t you Cheng Yingni’s assistant?”
Zhuang Xiao’ai seemed uneasy at the mention of the matter.
“I…” She hesitated for a while before telling her, “I’m no longer her assistant.”
“Huh?” Xia Xibei was surprised.
It hadn’t even been more than two days, and she was no longer her assistant?
Thinking of Cheng Yingni’s injury, it dawned on Xia Xibei.
“She took it out on you?”
Even back when Zhuang Xiao’ai was with her, Cheng Yingni had looked very displeased.
After that, Cheng Yingni broke her leg and was still lying in the hospital even now, so she must be in a really bad mood.
It was only her nature to vent her anger out on someone when she was upset.
Zhuang Xiao’ai was her assistant, so she naturally became the most convenient person to bear the brunt of that anger.
Xia Xibei’s guess put a horrified look on Zhuang Xiao’ai’s face, and she shook her head repeatedly, “No!”
“No?” Xia Xibei raised her brows. “Why are you not her assistant anymore, then?”
“Umm…” Zhuang Xiaoai stiffened, and a long moment later, she admitted reluctantly, “Well then, that was the reason indeed, but please don’t take it personally. She has disliked me for a long time!”
She kept explaining to Xia Xibei, afraid that she would take it personally.
Looking at how nervous she was, Xia Xibei laughed, “I know, that’s because she didn’t like me either.”
Zhuang Xiao’ai quickly looked up at her, and blushed when she saw the smile on her face.
“You…”
“What are you doing here now?”
“I… I’m working part-time here to make some money,” Zhuang Xiao’ai replied honestly.
“Working part-time?”
“Yeah, I’ve met the people here before. They have an event here today, don’t they? So I came to help out.”
Zhuang Xiao’ai explained, looking all vigorous. It made Xia Xibei feel a lot better.
“You’re doing a temporary job?”
“Right. I’m here to help out today.”
“What about afterwards?”
“Afterwards?” She froze. “I’ll go look for another job, of course! Don’t worry, I’m very capable!” she said as she patted her own chest.
Looking at how the pint-sized young lady was posing, Xia Xibei couldn’t help but laugh.
“You can do anything?”
“Umm…”
Zhuang Xiao’ai’s gaze wandered for a moment. “Perhaps not so much physical work… But I’m good at other things! If I can’t get a job, I’ll open a stall and sell breakfast at the roadside! My cooking is great!”
“How about this? You can find me.”
Zhuang Xiao’ai froze, “What did yousay?”
What did she mean by that?
“I’m short of staff, so you can come over and help out.”
“Really?!” Zhuang Xiao’ai was overjoyed. “Are you being serious?!”
“Of course I am,” Xia Xibei nodded. “Do you think I’ve got nothing better to do besides joke with you?”
“Of course not!” she quickly shook her head, “But… What do you want me to do?”
“We’ll see when the time comes. Anyway, aren’t you looking for a job?”
She nodded, “Yes I am…”
Xia Xibei wouldn’t sell her out, she supposed.
“I’ll leave you a number, just give him a call afterwards. He’s my agent, you can call him Pan.”
“Sure!” Zhuang Xiao’ai’s cheeks were flushed with excitement.
