However, Liu Qingqing was soon attracted by the gate of the Huo family manor.
‘The gate alone is so spectacular, the surrounding scenery is comparable to a 5A park. The interior of this place must be unbelievable! How wonderful must it be to marry into the Huo Family.’
Upon Yan Jinyi’s orders, Zhang Guoquan had already been waiting at the gate of the Huo family’s manor since a long time ago and when he saw them, he immediately walked over to bow to them respectfully as a greeting.
“Hello everyone, I’m Butler Zhang who works for this family. Second Young Mistress Huo is already waiting, please come with me.”
Liu Qingqing lifted her head and puffed her chest up. With a poised smile, she nodded at Zhang Guoquan and said, “Thank you, Butler Zhang.”
Zhang Guoquan assented with an indifferent tone of voice, and turned to look at Tan Sangsang. “You must be Miss Tan, right? Please come in.”
Seeing the stark difference in Zhang Guoquan’s attitude towards her and Tan Sangsang, Liu Qingqing was enraged and she thought that Tan Sangsang must have visited the manor in private before. ‘How despicable.’
Zhang Guoquan took them straight to the garden.
Soon, the two saw the sun umbrella in front.
There was a woman sitting under the umbrella, dressed in a beautiful dress. At this moment, she was leaning against the sun bed.
She was wearing a wide-brimmed beach hat on her head and a large pair of sunglasses on her face. Her head was hanging slightly low and only her delicate jaw could be seen.
The first thought that came to Liu Qingqing’s mind was ‘Second Young Mistress Huo is so pretty and elegant.’
“Hello, Second Young Mistress Huo, I’m Liu Qingqing, a reporter from Shenyang Daily. I’m very honored to have this opportunity to interview you, and I’ll definitely write a good report.”
“Liu Qingqing?”
“Yes, my father is the dean of a university in the city and my mother is a university professor.”
People of wealthy families usually socialized with members of other wealthy families, as well as scholarly families. Liu Qingqing self-righteously felt that she was totally fit enough to befriend Second Young Mistress Huo.
Almost all her friends and relatives knew about her interview with the Huo family today and they were all green with envy. Her father had even given her money to buy the outfit she was wearing today.
Her father told her that she couldn’t embarrass herself no matter what.
Liu Qingqing took out a beautifully packaged gift box from her handbag and said, “Second Young Mistress Huo, this is a small token of my appreciation. It’s a bracelet that I bought overseas a short while ago. I brought it for you because I feel that it suits you very well.”
Yan Jinyi had always accepted all gifts from others and her life motto was to never turn down money and gifts.
Since Liu Qingqing was from an affluent family, Yan Jinyi was sure that the gift she gave definitely wouldn’t be cheap.
However, she still had to put on some airs.
Yan Jinyi waved one hand and ordered the servant waiting by the side, “Take it.”
Seeing that Yan Jinyi had accepted the gift, Liu Qingqing thought that the relationship between them had become one step closer and was just about to continue praising Yan Jinyi but the latter interrupted, “By the way, Miss Liu, why did you come here…”
Liu Qingqing’s smile stiffened and she coughed. “I’m here to interview you, Second Young Mistress Huo. I’ve already introduced myself just now.”
“No, I clearly remember that the reporter who’s going to interview me is named Tan Sangsang.”
Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but glare at Tan Sangsang but she continued to grin and explained, “I’m learning from Sister Sangsang who’s generous enough to let me come along as the main interviewer because this interview is a key factor that will determine if I can successfully become an official employee. She will be helping me from the side.”
Tan Sangsang want to hurl some expletives at her.
If the subject of the interview wasn’t Yan Jinyi, Tan Sangsang would have definitely stood up for herself instead of stomaching the anger.
Yan Jinyi was indeed very helpful as she suddenly smacked her hand against the table at the side. “What does your magazine house mean by sending an intern to interview me?”
Liu Qingqing was instantly frightened by Yan Jinyi’s domineering aura and shivered right on the spot. “Second Young Mistress Huo, don’t worry, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”
