Chapter 838: Seeking Help

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The more Zhou Cui’an dwelled on it, the more unsettled she felt. At this moment, she was utterly distraught. Yet, outwardly, she had to maintain an appearance of ignorance.

Working at the company every day had become torturous for her. She constantly fretted over when her deeds would be exposed.

This mental torment left Zhou Cui’an visibly distracted, resulting in numerous errors at work.

The supervisor, noticing her state, criticized her several times. However, being introduced by Murong Yumeng, the supervisor restrained his scolding, despite any internal frustration.

With the New Year fast approaching, the company intensified its investigation into the gift box issue. Zhou Cui’an felt on edge every day, especially concerning the over twenty thousand, now akin to a hot potato.

Eventually, she had no choice but to dial Murong Yumeng’s number.

She knew she shouldn’t be bothering Senior Sister Murong at this time. Her job was already a considerable favor from Senior Sister Murong.

However, she had squandered this opportunity by accepting kickbacks. She knew she had betrayed Senior Sister Murong’s trust.

But now, other than Murong Yumeng, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could help her. If the company uncovered her actions, her future would be ruined. So, reluctantly, she called Senior Sister Murong.

In the café, Zhou Cui’an sat, looking worn out, her face betraying her anxiety. She glanced towards the door from time to time.

As time passed, her anxiety deepened. Eventually, she fell into a state of panic.

Just as Zhou Cui’an felt she couldn’t endure any longer, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. Murong Yumeng had strolled in from outside, calming her restless heart.

Murong Yumeng casually approached Zhou Cui’an and took a seat. After summoning the waiter for coffee, she turned to Zhou Cui’an with a smile. “Junior Sister Zhou, what brings you here today? With the year-end upon us, shouldn’t there be plenty to do at the company?”

While Murong Yumeng wore a gentle smile, unnoticed by Zhou Cui’an was a hint of disdain and annoyance in her eyes.

Upon receiving Zhou Cui’an’s call, Murong Yumeng’s initial reaction was one of disgust. She didn’t know why Zhou Cui’an sought her out, but her gut told her it wasn’t good. Moreover, she found Zhou Cui’an’s constant demands irritating.

If not for the fact that the other party was Ye Leng’an’s roommate and still somewhat useful, she wouldn’t have bothered answering.

Zhou Cui’an, wrapped up in her own turmoil, failed to sense Murong Yumeng’s true feelings.

After pondering for a moment, she took a deep breath and then spoke up, “Senior Sister Murong, I asked you out today because there’s something I need your help with. Or rather, I’d like to hear your opinion.”

Upon hearing Zhou Cui’an mention help again, a flicker of displeasure and disdain flashed in Murong Yumeng’s eyes. However, her facial expression remained unchanged, concealing her true thoughts.

“Junior Sister Zhou, why be so polite? Whether it’s about helping or not, we’re all friends. If you have something on your mind, I can’t just stand by and watch.”

Although her words sounded pleasant, Murong Yumeng’s heart harbored extreme aversion towards Zhou Cui’an, viewing her as insatiably greedy. After all, she had previously helped Zhou Cui’an find a job.

If it weren’t for her intervention, Zhou Cui’an wouldn’t have landed such a good job in the capital! Moreover, it was just a winter job. One had to know that companies like that didn’t hire winter workers.

However, Zhou Cui’an seemed insatiable, always coming to her for help whenever something happened. She was completely taking advantage of her, wasn’t she?

At this moment, Zhou Cui’an was completely oblivious to Murong Yumeng’s true feelings. Instead, after hearing Murong Yumeng’s understanding words, she felt a twinge of guilt. She felt she had truly let down Senior Sister Murong’s trust.

The more understanding Senior Sister Murong seemed, the more Zhou Cui’an couldn’t bring herself to confess her actions.

Instead, Murong Yumeng’s kind words made her feel guilty. She felt she had betrayed Senior Sister Murong’s trust.

Observing the silent Zhou Cui’an, Murong Yumeng’s eyes revealed impatience, although her face remained gentle. “Junior Sister Zhou, what’s on your mind? If you’re facing difficulties, speak up! Keeping it to yourself like this, even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t!”

She felt Zhou Cui’an was wasting her time. Since they had arranged to meet, everything should be laid out plainly. But here they were, playing games.

She was unlike Zhou Cui’an. Her time was precious.

Upon hearing Murong Yumeng’s words, Zhou Cui’an felt encouraged. She took a deep breath and confessed to accepting kickbacks, which led to the issue with the gift boxes she purchased for the company.

Finally, she produced a bank card from her bag and placed it on the table. “Senior Sister Murong, I truly didn’t intend for this. Moreover, I thoroughly inspected the gift boxes before purchase. It’s baffling why there were quality issues upon delivery. I genuinely didn’t mean any harm. I was just confused. Senior Sister Murong, what should I do now?”

She couldn’t fathom her streak of bad luck.

Others had received far more kickbacks and gotten away scot-free. Yet, with just a small commission, she found herself in trouble.
