However, Dong Yue did it willingly. She was the one who took the initiative to present herself in front of Huo Jue.
“I’ll take my leave first,” Xia Jin said with a faint smile.
Dong Yue waved her hand with a sweet smile. “See you later, Senior!”
As she watched Xia Jin leave, the smile on Dong Yue’s face gradually faded.

When the soup in the soup pot was ready, Xia Jin put the soup into a thermos and went to the hospital to visit Zhu Ya.
Zhu Ya did not look well after giving birth, and her body was originally very weak. After giving birth, she looked like she had aged ten years.
The baby was very well-behaved. She was lying next to Zhu Ya and sleeping soundly.
Xia Jin sat down and smiled gently. “Have you given the baby a name yet?”
Zhu Ya smiled bitterly. “My dad had already given her a name before she was born. If he’s a boy, he will be named Liang Liang, and Zhen Zhu if she’s a girl.”
“Little Zhen Zhu.” Xia Jin touched the baby’s soft little hand carefully. “The name is so pretty.”
“The sun hasn’t set yet. Why don’t you come out for a walk with me?” Zhu Ya seemed to have something to say and braced herself to get up.
Xia Jin hurriedly helped her out of the ward. The two of them went to the activity center at the back of the hospital. There were two rows of chairs in front of a large lawn. After the two of them sat down, Zhu Ya pulled Xia Jin’s hand. “Xiao Jin, you are the only one who truly came to see me these days. I can only say these words to you.”
Xia Jin vaguely guessed what Zhu Ya was going to say, so she did not say anything immediately. She just listened with a serious expression.
Zhu Ya sighed. “I know, you must be thinking in your heart, why haven’t I divorced Wang Ran even after he treated me like this?”
Xia Jin shook her head gently. “You must have your own difficulties.”
Zhu Ya clenched her fists, and hatred flashed in her eyes. “That’s because he holds ten percent of the company’s shares. He disguised himself too well in my family for the past ten years. Before my father died, he swore to God that he would treat me well, so my father gave the shares to him without worry. However, he started to reveal his true colors just after my father left. Not only did he start looking for women, but he also started to speak rudely to me!”
Wang Ran originally came from the countryside. He was neither well-educated nor capable, and he used sweet talks to trick Zhu Ya to let him enter the Zhu family.
However, after Old Master Zhu’s death, Wang Ran had the intention of embezzling the Zhu family’s assets.
If Zhu Ya divorced him, half of her family’s assets would fall into Wang Ran’s hands for free.
“I’m not willing!” Zhu Ya’s eyes shot out intense hatred. “What right does he, Wang Ran, have!”
Xia Jin frowned. Her mind spun quickly, and his eyes lit up. In the end, she did not say anything.
After Zhu Ya vented her frustration, she finally felt better. She finally took Xia Jin’s hand. “Thank you for listening to me, Xiao Jin. You still don’t have a boyfriend, right? You must keep your eyes open when you find a man. Don’t be like me and get deceived by a man!”
Hearing Zhu Ya’s words, Xia Jin was nonplussed. Her situation was not any better than Zhu Ya’s. She fell into Huo Jue’s hands for so many years, and now she could not even escape.

When Zhu Ya’s situation was stabilized, Xia Jin began to think about how she could get her sales performance up.
“I think someone will leave in less than a month…”
“She just has a pretty face, nothing but good looks.”
“That’s right! Lin Li even said that she seduced Wang Ran. Shame on her!”
…
The gossipers hardly avoid Xia Jin anymore. Sometimes, they even dared to roll their eyes at her in front of her.
These idle people were naturally not worth Xia Jin’s anger. She continued to treat those who did not like her as if they were air.
As winter approached, the store would be stocking a batch of new bracelets designed with ice and snow elements as the design concept in a few days. The store manager told everyone about this long ago, but the salespeople did not seem to take it seriously. After all, their regulars would naturally come to visit the store when the new goods arrived.
However, Xia Jin felt that this was an opportunity.
The rich ladies in the capital had a competitive mentality. Usually, whoever bought a new piece of jewelry would post it on social media, indicating that it was the first batch of new goods from a famous brand and designed by a well-known international designer.
The first batch of goods was most in demand. After all, no one would want to follow the trend and buy something that others had already shown off on social media platforms.
With a plan in mind, Xia Jin went to look for Zhang Zhu.
When Zhang Zhu heard of Xia Jin’s intention, he was shocked for a moment. “You… aren’t you breaking the rules by doing this?”
Xia Jin smiled and shook her head. “How is it against the rules if I’m helping the store to sell things? Don’t worry, I won’t let you help me for free. You’ll get thirty percent of my commission.”
Thirty percent! Zhang Zhu was taken aback, as this was not a small amount.
“Okay, I’ll help you!”
A week or so later, the new goods arrived in the store. The salespeople were pumped up and ready to welcome their new customers.
They were expecting at least a hundred new customers to come to the store to buy, but they did not expect that after three days, only about twenty people had come to the store to shop..
