Chapter 764: The Grand Finale
During this break, a few envious folks started saying eagerly, "Oh, look at us, we just can’t compare to others. A simple smile can bring such achievements, we really can’t match that, huh? Maybe one day you should try selling smiles too, see if you can catch the boss’s eye. Maybe then you’ll skyrocket to success. Don’t you think?"
"It’s not as easy as you think. We got drenched in sweat this week from the start; we’ve given up hope. Ah well, that’s how it is. We can only enviously watch others show their brilliance. What are we, anyway?"
"Exactly, who knows what they did behind the scenes? How could we ever compare to that? Let’s just forget it. We’ve accepted our fate. We might as well just do our own tasks honestly and properly."
Some who really didn’t understand what was going on thought they were joking and joined in, saying, "Who are you talking about? Who has the skills to get so close to the boss? I want to hear the gossip; you haven’t made it clear to me, leaving me utterly confused."
"Who else could it be? Think about who’s been hot recently, and you’ll know who it is. I don’t want to name names. Just figure it out yourselves. If I spell it out, don’t later accuse me of speaking recklessly and punish me for it. I can’t bear that burden."
"Oh, right, we must remember to be careful about what we say. We wouldn’t want to offend anyone and get excluded later. That would be terrible! Blocking our own wealth? No way. Let’s not talk about it. We should flatter and learn from others, understand more about how to behave. Do you want to earn money? If so, just learn from them."
Even those who had been confused now understood what was going on. It wasn’t real gossip, just sarcastic remarks. Others felt it was pointless and quickly distanced themselves - they certainly didn’t want to be associated with that group.
Lin Qi didn’t initially want to bother with these people; they were just sour because they couldn’t eat the grapes. Hanging out with them wasn’t fun at all, and who knows, maybe others would say she was being petty. So, she decided to ignore them, but these people had gone too far. They were already cooperating, yet they still wanted to sour her success.
Thinking about it, she realized, her earnings were something they could never dream of. And the heights she had reached were beyond their grasp. Indeed, the boss had given her a hand, but wasn’t a large part of that due to her own effort? Without her exceptional appearance, how could the boss’s help have been effective? Really?
