Chapter 298: Urban Card Drawing System (4)
What does Xie Yang mean!!!
Feng Xuanxuan was so angry she almost had the driver turn the car around and leave.
From childhood until now, she had never suffered such a grievance!
But she was determined to get that pendant!
After calming down, she had the driver find a parking space outside the residential complex to wait for her, while she carried her bag and walked into the complex in her sky-high heels.
The villa area was very large, and between each villa, there was a small garden.
Xie Yang's home was at Villa 6; even taking a shortcut, one had to pass through two small gardens and an artificial lake to reach it, taking at least fifteen minutes on foot.
Her newly bought high heels had rubbed blisters on the soles of her feet.
Feng Xuanxuan was in pain and felt aggrieved, standing at the entrance of Xie Yang's villa and pressing the doorbell.
Xie Yang was eating breakfast at this moment.
Xie Yang's father liked peace and quiet, so he only hired two live-in housekeepers:
One was the housekeeper and bodyguard, Wu Jie, a retired female soldier found through connections; her martial arts skills were quite remarkable, and her driving skills were also superb, so Wu Jie was responsible for picking up and dropping off the original owner whenever she went out.
Of course, the salary was also high, as she enjoyed double the pay for one person.
The other was Tian Sao, who was responsible for purchasing ingredients and preparing three meals a day.
As for mowing the lawn, maintaining the flowers and plants, and replacing indoor greenery and fresh flowers, a landscaping company was regularly scheduled to provide service.
Xie Yang's father was very willing to spend money on landscaping because Xie Yang's mother loved this garden when she was alive; at that time, they hadn't thought of finding a landscaping company for an annual package, and Xie Yang's mother had planted and maintained it all herself.
The house cleaning was also provided by a housekeeping company; just now, after Xie Yang got up and went downstairs, the housekeeper who came to work went first to clean her room.
"Yang Yang, the little girl from the Feng family is here again; should I open the door for her?"
Wu Jie saw through the video intercom that the person ringing the doorbell was indeed Feng Xuanxuan, who had parted on bad terms with her employer yesterday. This time, she didn't open the door easily and specifically came to ask for Xie Yang's decision.
Xie Yang raised her eyebrows. She had thought that after giving Feng Xuanxuan such a huge snub yesterday, and hanging up the phone and blocking her this morning, she wouldn't come to bother her again for a short time. Who would have thought she would show up so quickly?
Fortunately, that phone call this morning made her remember that the Feng family's car could freely enter and exit her residential complex. How could that be allowed? She immediately notified the residential security that the access control system would only retain her own license plate.
Given Feng Xuanxuan's personality, if the vehicle couldn't get in, she would have been jumping with anger and ordered the driver to turn around and leave. To think she could actually suppress her temper and walk in? This didn't seem like her!
Regardless of the reason, Feng Xuanxuan's goal was impossible to achieve anyway.
The Meteorite Fragment that the Card Drawing System was attached to had been collected into the space brought by the Main System as soon as it was activated yesterday; even if Feng Xuanxuan caught a chance to sneak into her room, she wouldn't find it.
"Xie Yang! I know you're home! Open the door! I have something to tell you!" Feng Xuanxuan shouted loudly while pressing the doorbell, "I really have something to tell you, and it's something very important to you!"
Xie Yang signaled for Wu Jie to open the door.
Once the person entered, Xie Yang continued to eat her breakfast in a leisurely manner:
"Why are you still coming to my house? From today on, we are no longer friends!"
Feng Xuanxuan was stunned: "Why?"
Xie Yang looked at her strangely: "You scolded me and blamed my dad on the phone this morning; it's ridiculous! It's clearly your Feng family that lacks ability, yet you turn around and blame my dad for snatching your family's business! I don't have a friend like you!"
Even in the original world, if Xie Yang's father hadn't negotiated this partnership, the partner for GD Gong Si wouldn't have been the Feng family, but a Japanese-owned home furnishing company.
There was nothing to feel guilty about biting a piece of meat off a Japanese enterprise.
Hearing her say this, Feng Xuanxuan felt relieved instead.
It seemed Xie Yang was only angry about that phone call this morning, which was why she had the security guard stop her family's car, rather than having heard something from someone else. That made things easier; she had plenty of ways to coax this simpleton into being happy.
"Yang Yang, it was indeed my fault this morning, and you are right to be angry. That's why, even though you had the security guard refuse to lift the barrier, I endured the pain of my feet being rubbed raw and bleeding just to come in and apologize to you in person. I really don't want to lose you as a good friend."
Xie Yang was even a bit impressed by her; it was a waste of talent to use such acting skills on fake friends. She should have gone into the entertainment industry; she might have even brought home an Oscar.
"Yang Yang, I was wrong! I shouldn't have lost my temper at you, please forgive me!"
Feng Xuanxuan walked over, putting on the act of acting spoiled as she did at home, and tried to grab Xie Yang's left hand to shake it, but Xie Yang dodged.
She wasn't even angry at this, instead pulling up a chair to sit next to Xie Yang, putting on the attitude of a good sister and saying fawningly:
"I came here today because I really have something very important to tell you. Universities are currently conducting a joint audit of internship situations. People like us who only get stamps without actually interning will affect our graduation if caught. You should talk to your dad and go intern at the company as soon as possible! If that really doesn't work, come to my family's company; I'll have my dad arrange it for us, and we can go together."
Seeing Xie Yang drinking soy milk without speaking, Feng Xuanxuan wore an expression of "I'm really doing this for your own good," speaking with such apparent sincerity and heart-to-heart concern:
"Xie's was founded by your dad single-handedly and will definitely be left to you in the future. If you don't go to the company now to get familiar and make some achievements, aren't you afraid of being rejected by other shareholders when you suddenly parachute in later? My two cousins started going to the company to help out in their freshman year just to get more exposure and avoid being gossiped about later."
In the original world, the original owner insisted on interning at her own company because she listened to these words, only to backfire and mess up several export orders that were about to be finalized, causing her father to be blamed by other shareholders.
But now...
"Why would I want to make things hard for myself and go to work? That's so tiring! I have dividends to collect now without having to do any work; isn't that great?"
I'll find an opportunity later to feed Lao Xie some diluted Physical Fitness Potion; living to ninety-nine won't be a problem.
"But Uncle Xie will step down sooner or later..."
"My dad is in great health! Are you cursing my dad?" Xie Yang slammed her cup down and scolded angrily, "My mom is already gone, and he is the only father I have left; are you still cursing him?" She then pointed to the door, "Get out! Get out immediately! Don't ever appear in front of me again!"
"No, Yang Yang, that's not what I meant, listen to me..." Feng Xuanxuan hurriedly tried to make amends, "I meant that after Uncle Xie retires, the company will always need someone to manage it, otherwise why bother cultivating an heir?"
"No need for you to worry about it! With money, are you afraid of not being able to hire an excellent professional manager?" Xie Yang's tone remained very sharp, "You know what major I'm studying, so what? Are you here to mock me on purpose?"
The original owner had been a poor student since childhood. In her senior year of high school, seeing that her grades were truly not presentable and not feeling at ease sending her abroad, Lao Xie saw that she liked painting and spent a huge sum of money to hire a retired professor from the Fine Arts Academy to train her one-on-one in sketching, color, and speed painting. He also spent money to hire gold-medal tutors for every subject to take turns tutoring her in academic courses.
Helplessly, her academic foundation was truly too poor; after a year of tutoring, she passed the professional exam, but her academic score didn't meet the threshold for the fine arts major, so she was finally adjusted to the Fine Arts Academy's least popular major: Cultural Relics Protection and Restoration.
