The afternoon was spent in busyness.

Nearing the end of work, Jiyeon finally completed all the tasks Chengxiao had directed to her.

She verified the form, informed the Documentation Department about the certificate of origin, and supervised the freight team’s moving process . . .

Although it wasn’t complicated, it took time and patience to watch over them, so it was impossible to relax even a bit.

This kind of job was indeed suitable for a newbie like her. Clearly, Xiao kept that in mind when she made the arrangements.

Jiyeon sighed, typed the last words on the chat screen, and suddenly felt relieved.

“Want a piece of chocolate?” Seeing that she had stopped working, Yeonjung who had been idle the entire day, peered over and stuffed a piece of chocolate into Jiyeon’s hand. “You’ve been working for so long, take a break.”

“Thank you.” Seeing her insist, she didn’t refuse and accepted it with a nod.

“It’s tiring, right?” Yeonjung smiled and looked at her. “Speaking of that, if Chengxiao already knew she couldn’t come to work today, she should’ve finished everything yesterday. Instead, she just had to leave the rest to you.”

“If you had the background, you really could do whatever you wanted . . .”

Although her voice was low, the attitude she wanted to express was obvious.

She’s talking behind someone’s back and was even . . . looking forward to her response.

Jiyeon raised her eyes and, as expected, she caught a glimpse of expectation in Yeonjung’s eyes, as though waiting for her to ask about the so-called background she mentioned.

Ah, what’s the matter with this girl.
Jiyeon paused, ate the rest of the chocolate, and then smiled lightly.

“It’s not that big of a deal,” she said, “I am a newcomer, so it makes sense I should train more.”

Probably not having expected such a response, Yeonjung was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly. “That’s true, haha.”

“But still, be careful to not overwork, because there won’t be any place for you to cry.”

Her tone held the same hint of cynicism as before.

Jiyeon could not be bothered by her and simply responded, “Thank you for the chocolate.”

Without waiting for Yeonjung to say anything else, she turned around.

Before long, a small sound of “Tch” came from behind her.

Yeonjung rolled her eyes and soon turned around to continue chatting with others.

Jiyeon caught a few words. They seemed to be talking about so-and-so from the Domestic Trade Department. She couldn’t help but shake her head.

There were still more than ten minutes before work ended. She already completed her job for the day, so she found a comfortable position, leaned back in her chair, and scrolled through her phone, checking out what  Luda and the others had planned for the evening.
