Ye Group's 15th floor clothing design department.
Ye Jinmeng, a corporate slave, was slacking off at her workstation. She just stared at her watch and quietly started the countdown: "59, 58, 57, 56...5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jinmeng rushed towards the elevator like a whirlwind.
The other employees in the design department were already used to this scene and could only sigh: "Ah, rich second generations are so good!"
Ye Jinmeng didn't care what others said. In her opinion, eating was a huge deal. "If you're not enthusiastic about meals, there's a problem with your thinking!"
As the first person to rush to the cafeteria entrance, Ye Jinmeng immediately smelled the scent of sweet and sour pork ribs and tomato stewed beef brisket. She sucked in some drool before taking a tray and visiting each food counter from left to right.
Xu Wanwan, who was serving rice at the farthest right counter, noticed Ye Jinmeng as soon as she entered. Xu Wanwan's mind instantly went blank as the resentment that had long been hidden in her heart seemed to erupt like a volcano at any moment.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Why are you dazing off?" The girl next to her serving egg drop soup, also a summer job student, called out to Xu Wanwan.
"Huh? Oh, nothing. I just got a little nervous seeing so many people all of a sudden." Xu Wanwan tried her best to suppress the surging waves of hatred in her heart, but her face was still pale.
"Oh, don't worry. We're just minor characters. No one will interact with us either, so don't be afraid. Just get used to it."
"Okay."
Xu Wanwan controlled her eyes to avoid looking at Ye Jinmeng as much as possible, and continued serving the staple food. Until Ye Jinmeng came to stand before her.
Xu Wanwan's hands tightened slightly around the serving spoon as her eyes stared intensely at the girl in front of her. She could see that this girl was bowing her head, seemingly struggling with something. So her gaze became even colder. If looks could kill, Ye Jinmeng would have been a sieve leaking red liquid by now.
Ye Jinmeng also suddenly sensed an icy gaze fixed upon her, the piercing chill making her shiver. But when Ye Jinmeng looked up, the lady serving food simply had her head lowered as she attentively served the dishes.
Ye Jinmeng figured it must have been her imagination, or perhaps the air conditioner was set too cold. She didn't think much of it before reaching out to grab two buns and placing them on her tray, then going to get some egg drop soup.
Xu Wanwan looked up again and watched Ye Jinmeng's back as she carried her tray to find a seat. Yet she somehow felt a little confused. The Ye Jinmeng of this life seemed a bit different.
In her previous life, to maintain a slim figure, Ye Jinmeng would only eat one meal a day - specially customized weight loss meals. So her whole person was very skinny, especially that gaunt face, which made her already arrogant attitude appear even more sour and sarcastic.
But the Ye Jinmeng before her now was not picky about food at all. She had taken a full tray of dishes, and most importantly - she had chubby cheeks!
What the hell! How could she have chubby cheeks! If Xu Wanwan hadn't double checked the work pass hanging on her chest earlier, she really would have thought she recognized the wrong person!
Xu Wanwan calmed herself and looked again at Ye Jinmeng sitting at the dining table. She saw Ye Jinmeng shoving mouthfuls of food one after another. Her puffed up little face bulging with each bite, paired with that fluffy meatball head, she actually looked...cute??
"Damn!" Xu Wanwan swore softly, feeling as if she had lost her mind. She immediately shook her head and continued with her task, but kept finding excuses for this discrepancy in her heart.
"Ye Jinmeng at this time in my last life must have been like this too. After all, I hadn't come to Haicheng yet at this time in my previous life, so it's normal that I hadn't seen her before. She's probably going to start dieting in a few days. Yeah, that must be it!"
"Hello, Young Miss Ye."
"Good afternoon, Young Miss Ye."
At this moment, a chorus of greetings sounded in the cafeteria.
Ye Jinchen strode into the cafeteria with a calm and unruffled demeanor. He nodded lightly towards the employees in front of him. "You've all worked hard. Eat more and take a good rest after the meal." His deep yet gentle voice stirred the hearts of some female employees.
But Xu Wanwan's eyes suddenly turned red. In her last life, after Ye Jinchen discovered all the ways Ye Jinmeng had hurt her, he began protecting her everywhere. Until later when he found out about her background, Ye Jinmeng went mad and kidnapped her, and Ye Jinchen died after being hacked by knives when trying to save her.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanwan lowered her head and blinked rapidly to force back the wetness in her eyes. Only when Ye Jinchen took away a bowl of rice and left did she finally relax.
