I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 341 Ineffable Difficulties
"Tongxin, what is going on?"
Director Hou saw that many people were chiming in at that moment. Despite his admiration for Su Tongxin, he had to be fair under such circumstances. "Xiaoyun, come and tell Director Hou what happened!"
Yang Huali dragged Li Xiaoyun, who was keeping quiet, over to Director Hou.
Li Xiaoyun stuttered and was reluctant to speak up.
It was because Su Tongxin was actually a nice person. Not only that, Li Xiaoyun had a close relationship with her as well.
Yes, I was mad and angry when I lost my ring. I was even prepared to make a police report and send the culprit to jail.
However, now that Li Xiaoyun found out that the culprit was Su Tongxin, she decided to keep quiet.
In order to protect Su Tongxin's reputation, she did not want to bring the matter up. She only wished to contain the issue and prevent it from blowing up. Director Hou frowned and said, "Xiaoyun, tell me now!"
Thus, Li Xiaoyun narrated the incident that happened yesterday.
Coupled with the fact that there were so many witnesses, Director Hou was placed in a tough spot.
As a matter of fact, Director Hou did not buy the story at all.
However, if he were to just sweep things under the rug, a troublemaker like Yang Huali would most probably urge him to report this to the police. Furthermore, Yang Huali brought a large number of her college friends here to back her up. She was obviously not going to let things go.
Director Hou said, "Tongxin, this leaves me no choice. Under such circumstances, I cannot offer you the position!"
Yang Huali crossed her arms and said, "Exactly, it cannot be given to her!"
At that moment, Ma Nan was looking at Su Tongxin from a corner. She wanted to speak up, however, she immediately received a warning stare from Yang Huali. Therefore, she could only clench her fists and lower her head down. She felt ashamed and helpless.
On the other hand, Su Tongxin could not explain her way out of it and had no choice but to look on helplessly at the opportunity being snatched away by someone else. Now that Su Tongxin was no longer considered a potential candidate, nobody else within the company dared to fight with Yang Huali over the position. "Tongxin!"
Su Mengmeng and the rest of them walked over.
"It's alright, Mengmeng. I'm fine. I'm just going to the washroom first!"
After saying that, Su Tongxin turned around and left.
By the time Su Tongxin finished washing her hands and came out of the washroom, Yang Huali and a few of her friends were already blocking the way.
With an icy look, Su Tongxin asked, "What do you want? Aren't you satisfied with how things went?"
"Haha, of course I am not satisfied. I know how everyone else would perceive me, they might even think that I set you up and framed you. However, nothing else matters now. The opportunity is mine and you have already lost! But I'm still not convinced!"
Yang Huali's eyes were filled with jealousy.
Since a very young age, Yang Huali would bask in the glory of constantly being at the top. No matter where she went, no matter what organization she was in, she would undoubtedly be the center of attention and the most successful person there.
Everyone would address her as Sister Li.
Initially, she thought that by coming to intern at a television station coupled with the fact that she had all the favorable conditions, she would naturally be the star of the show.
At the end of the day however, she was outshined by Su Tongxin in every single aspect.
To her, Su Tongxin was good at deceiving and manipulating others in order to garner their attention and support.
Be it Ma Nan who came from a poor family or Li Xiaoyun with a fairly rich boyfriend, they were all very kind toward Su Tongxin.
Most importantly, Li Xiaoyun used to be a very close friend of Yang Huali back in college.
Yet she became exceptionally close to Su Tongxin now.
Did she think that I wouldn't notice? If it had been someone else or even me who stole such an expensive and valuable belonging from Li Xiaoyun, there was no way she would have let the culprit off the hook so easily. She would even have a falling out with the person.
But when she found out that the culprit was Su Tongxin, not only did she decide not to press charges, she even advised me to stop spreading news about it so that it would not ruin Su Tongxin's reputation. Why?
Why!
Why does everyone favor Su Tongxin?!
Su Tongxin snapped, "What are you unconvinced about? It's not like I am a match to you!"
"I am just unconvinced! I am unhappy that everyone likes you and hates me. Even when everyone knows you're the culprit, do you think I don't know what's on their mind? They were all discussing how I framed and set you up!"
"I don't want to listen to all these. I believe that this whole thing will eventually come to light!"
After saying that, Su Tongxin turned around and left.
"Stop right there! Now that I am the star of the show, how dare you disregard me like that!"
Yang Huali violently dragged Su Tongxin back.
"Hmph!"
Slap!
She snorted and a loud slap followed right after.
All of a sudden, she raised her hand and gave a hard slap on Su Tongxin's face.
"Let me tell you something, I have always wanted to teach you a lesson! But since everyone glorified you, I had no choice but to hold myself back. However, there is no need for that anymore! From now onward, everyone has to bow down to me! Including you!"
Yang Huali finished talking and raised her hand to slap Su Tongxin again.
"Stop right there! Yang Huali, what are you trying to do?"
Just then, a few girls ran over.
They were Li Xiaoyun and also Su Tongxin's dormitory mates.
Li Xiaoyun was the one that shouted.
When Yang Huali brought her friends in earlier, Su Tongxin's group of friends felt that something was amiss.
Li Xiaoyun said, "Who are you to slap Tongxin?"
Yang Huali shouted, "So what if I slapped her? So what? Now that I am the leader, I replace her unpleasant so I punished her!"
After that, she pointed at Su Tongxin and said, "In the future, keep your head down and lay low!"
She then brought her friends with her and left.
Su Mengmeng asked in a concerning voice, "Tongxin, are you okay?"
"I am fine!"
Su Mengmeng viciously said, "F*ck! This Yang Huali is too much! The assistant position should have been yours, yet now she actually arranged for you to be a receptionist at the front entrance. She is too cruel. I cannot stand it anymore! Let's go and beat her up!"
Su Tongxin agitatedly said, "No! Don't offend her just because of me. Otherwise, it would be hard for you all to gain a firm footing in this company. We have no choice as she is the person with authority around here!"
Su Tongxin resigned herself to her fate of being a receptionist.
She really did not want to drag Su Mengmeng and the rest of them into this.
"Tongxin, since both of us are the receptionists, and now that numerous businessmen as well as celebrities have arrived, let's head over..."
Just then, Ma Nan walked over and whispered to Su Tongxin.
Su Mengmeng ridiculed and snorted. "Hmph! I don't see you getting a promotion after licking someone's boots!"
Everyone looked at Ma Nan in disdain before leaving to fulfill their responsibilities.
Su Tongxin also glanced at Ma Nan and said, "Let's go!"
When they reached the entrance, the central square was already packed. Many of the big shots had already arrived and went inside.
To be honest, as a receptionist, their only job was to stand outside.
It was vastly different from Yang Huali's role whereby she could mingle around with the bunch of big shots.
"Tongxin, I-I am sorry!"
Ma Nan cried as she looked at Su Tongxin's cheek that was red after being slapped.
Right, since I came out to work, the person who was the kindest to me was most definitely Su Tongxin. Sometimes when I didn't have money, Su Tongxin actually provided me with financial assistance. Therefore, Ma Nan felt exceptionally guilty that she caused Su Tongxin to be in such a state.
Ma Nan cried out and said, "Tongxin, I am actually being forced against my will. I have ineffable difficulties..."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
