After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 12.1
Li Suimei’s arrangement to work at Qin Corporation went smoothly. The following Monday, she and Qin Zhan left Qin Bay together, and the car drove all the way to the Qin Corporation building. Li Suimei absentmindedly recalled the plot of the original book.
——
Gu Linxi went to Qin Zhan’s office to deliver documents and found the door closed.
Gu Linxi put the documents on the assistant’s desk and asked, “Is Mr. Qin resting?”
The assistant pushed up his glasses, glanced at the office, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Qin is not here. His fiancee is inside!”
Qin Zhan was not there?
Gu Linxi frowned, “How can someone be allowed in privately? There are documents all over the place…”
“Oh!” The assistant waved his hand, saying, “Who dares to stop Mr. Qin’s fiancee?”
Gu Linxi thought of the extremely provocative face at the airport and nodded with a smile, “Yes, she’s not someone to be messed with.”
She put down the documents and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a clatter from the office. Gu Linxi walked quickly over, pushed open the door, and saw Li Suimei sitting among a pile of documents.
Li Suimei was sitting facing her, holding a document in her hand. The logo of a certain company on the document was clearly visible. Gu Linxi frowned, then opened the door wide. The assistant squeezed past the desk and joined Gu Linxi in catching Li Suimei red-handed while looking at the documents.
“We’re here.” Qin Zhan suddenly spoke, getting out of the car and opening the door for Li Suimei.
Li Suimei got out of the car and walked into the company with Qin Zhan. She could hear many conversations around her, and they reached her ears vaguely.
“…from the Li family, rejected Mr. Qin.”
“They haven’t broken up, and she’s living in the Qin family now.”
“Tsk…”
Hearing only a few vague words, Li Suimei pressed her temples. She didn’t expect to be so famous in the company.
Getting into the elevator with Qin Zhan, Li Suimei pressed the keyboard and sent a message.
[Come to the building to pick me up.]
Fu Yanxiao: […Are you ordering me around?]
Li Suimei: [Please?]
[…Alright.]
Li Suimei smiled and put away her phone, following Qin Zhan out of the elevator.
As soon as Qin Zhan arrived at the company, a bunch of people came up to him, all waiting for him to attend meetings and sign contracts.
Qin Zhan asked Li Suimei to find a place to rest first.
Li Suimei said, “I’ll go to the HR department to report. You can go ahead.”
Qin Zhan nodded and added, “There’s a rest area in my office.”
After he finished speaking, Li Suimei felt many inquiring eyes on her.
“Okay.”
The HR manager greeted her and specifically mentioned that Li Suimei’s position was personally arranged by Qin Qing, and she would receive a first-class salary as an intern designer.
“The director hasn’t returned yet. You can meet her this afternoon.”
Li Suimei smiled, her eyes curved, looking very harmless. The HR manager, a girl, couldn’t help but focus on the dimples on her lips, sighing inwardly. She didn’t expect such a sweet girl to publicly reject Mr. Qin.
“Where should I sit?” Li Suimei asked.
The HR manager quickly pointed to a window seat for her. This spot had a good view and had just been vacated.
Li Suimei walked over and slid her finger across the desk. It was very clean. She smiled sweetly and asked, “Who sat here before?”
“It was me.” Gu Linxi walked over, holding a cardboard box. She came to pack up the rest of her things and then move to a position closer to the aisle.
Li Suimei stepped aside and said in surprise, “You’re Brother Qin’s assistant?”
Gu Linxi glanced at her, and her indifferent, mountain-like brows quickly moved away. “You could say that.”
The female lead in the book indeed had eyes like distant mountains. When reading the book, she had wondered what eyes like distant mountains looked like.
Now she saw that they weren’t clear and bright, like they were covered in a grayish-black smoke. The book didn’t describe the female lead’s dark thoughts in too much detail.
But Li Suimei was smiling. She knew Gu Linxi was looking at her, and feelings of inferiority and timidity would often arise.
Gu Linxi didn’t like her. She couldn’t get over the fact that she was Qin Zhan’s fiancee.
Li Suimei flicked a succulent plant on the table with her finger. The succulent swayed precariously and a petal fell from under her hand.
Gu Linxi saw it and snatched the succulent away.
— This was a gift from Qin Zhan.
Li Suimei suppressed the excitement that was about to burst out in her heart.
Like a kind Cinderella, she also wanted a pumpkin carriage and glass slippers when she met the prince.
The original book rarely mentioned the female lead’s dark side, but in fact, Gu Linxi and her were essentially the same kind of person.
Otherwise, how could the female lead, knowing that Qin Zhan had a fiancee, still be so nervous about a pot of succulents?
“What are you looking at?” Gu Linxi asked.
Li Suimei’s dimples appeared faintly at the corners of her mouth, and she left a sentence in Gu Linxi’s ear, “Brother Qin is so kind, isn’t he?”
Gu Linxi looked at her back. The girl always seemed to like wearing white. She had been dressed in white both times they had met. The snow-white fabric blended perfectly with her, making Li Suimei look like a truly noble young lady.
Why?
Gu Linxi lowered her head, then saw Wen Qing passing by. She stopped him and asked, “Are you sending documents to Mr. Qin?”
Wen Qing said, “Yes, why?”
Gu Linxi said, “I’m going there too. I’ll help you send them. Are these important documents?”
Wen Qing looked at his watch. There were still a few minutes left. These documents had already been processed and only needed Qin Zhan’s signature, so they weren’t important. He thought about it and handed the documents to Gu Linxi.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“You’re welcome.”
