After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 489 - 335:

You must understand, she’s merely a junior advertising manager.

While Rong Yanqiao is a popular actress in the entertainment industry, having the opportunity to add a celebrity like her on WeChat was something Tang Xi hardly dared to dream of. Even though Rong Yanqiao often found herself in the center of scandals and gossip, her popularity remained undiminished.

Tang Xi glanced at Rong Yanqiao and couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Rong Yanqiao’s gaze would occasionally rest on her.

She opened WeChat and added the other party.

Perhaps it was because she thought Rong Yanqiao looked somewhat like Ruan Youqing, Tang Xi—despite having seen all the negative press and hearing numerous gossips about her—didn’t dislike her. On the contrary, she felt an urge to defend her.

Rong Yanqiao left with her agent.

Tang Xi helped clean up the photography studio.

Jiang Qiuzhi bragged to a friend over the phone about having added Rong Yanqiao on WeChat, while also demeaning her by saying that although Rong Yanqiao was pretty, her face was plastic and she was uncooperative and snobbish during shoots.

Tang Xi frowned because she was there the whole time and saw that Rong Yanqiao, who had changed into five different outfits for the shoot, had not shown a trace of impatience.

She had always viewed Jiang Qiuzhi as kind-hearted and capable, even reminding her to attend the VIP private event on Friday.

But when it came to Rong Yanqiao, Jiang Qiuzhi appeared to have a disdainful attitude.

Outwardly, she boasted about adding Rong Yanqiao on WeChat in delight, but at the same time, she viciously trampled on her reputation in secret.

Sister Xueru came over to Tang Xi and said, "The thing is, Jiang Qiuzhi has a liking for another actress. When the advertising department was initially planning for the spokesperson, Jiang Qiuzhi constantly recommended that actress. But what can you do, Rong Yanqiao is just hotter, and she has a better image. Plus, with the powerful backers behind Rong Yanqiao, she secured the gig as the brand ambassador for Fu’s Jewelry. Put simply, Manager Jiang is just jealous, star-chasing has clouded her judgment."

While sharing this, Sister Xueru made an exaggerated expression.

Tang Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

She told Sister Xueru to wait for her there and then went back to her department, taking from her desk drawer a welfare product distributed to their department last week.

It was a new product released by Fu’s Jewelry last year.

A platinum butterfly bracelet.

Matching earrings were also available.

Working at Fu’s, every month there were extra perks, with many of last year’s jewelry collections remaining, and these would be given to the employees as welfare products.

But they were indeed made of real gold and silver.

They were still being sold at the counters.

When she was off from work that evening, Tang Xi took her folding bike back to the photography studio. By that time, the studio shoot had ended and people were trickling out. Lin Xueru saw Tang Xi as soon as she stepped out and, smiling, asked her what she was doing there.

"Sister Xueru, this is from last month, given by the company to the design department. I have no use for it myself but I see you seem to like butterfly accessories, and this happens to match that same design style," Tang Xi said as she handed the gift bag to Lin Xueru. freewebnoveℓ.com

Lin Xueru politely declined at first, but in the end, she accepted it. She opened it, took a look, and her smile deepened, "Thank you so much, I do really like butterflies, you are so thoughtful. Tang Xi, you are so beautiful, no less than any celebrity. Moreover, I’ve heard that since joining Fu’s Jewelry, you’ve already designed such outstanding products, I have high expectations for you. I’m actually about to go out for a meal with a friend, would you like to join us? We can just find a casual restaurant to chat."

With that, she called over two colleagues, one designer and one makeup artist.

Tang Xi nodded and agreed.

The four of them found a Chinese restaurant.

After dinner, when Tang Xi was about to leave, Lin Xueru held her hand and said, "If you ever have any issues, and can’t sort them out by yourself, come find sister Xueru. Although I’m just a wardrobe coordinator, I’ve been in the field for many years and have some connections."

Tang Xi thanked her with a smile.

On returning home, Tang Xi carried a slight scent of alcohol, though she hadn’t drunk much, just sipped a little. Yellow Jade was in the living room, watching TV with Tangtang. Hearing Tang Xi’s return, Yellow Jade went into the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack for her.

Tangtang ran over, "Mommy."

"Tangtang, be good. Keep watching for a bit longer, then it’s bedtime," Tang Xi said gently, kissing her daughter’s cheek. The little girl obediently nodded in agreement.

The spacious villa felt empty.
