Working as a Simp

Part 3

Jiang An was a genuine rich young master.

His family held a grand birthday party for him, and it was said that many wealthy and influential families gathered there.

This affair originally had nothing to do with me.

But Jiang An said he wanted me to go along on Saturday.

As soon as I voiced my objection, he cast a glance over and said, "It's the boss's birthday party. If you don't attend, who will?"

"Boss Jiang, doesn't your house have several maids? What can I do if I go?"

"Go and join a team-building exercise with my house maids. Any objections?"

I felt my head throbbing.

A Saturday team-building event at the boss's house.

How annoying.

Jiang An added, "Also, buy yourself a more expensive dress. Don't dress too shabbily at that day."

I had only one question in my mind.

"Boss, can I get reimbursed?"

He seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Never mind, I'll just take you to buy one. After all... your taste is somewhat concerning."

Mock me all you want.

As long as I get reimbursed, you're my good boss.

But who could have imagined, Jiang An picked out a 59,998 yuan cocktail dress for me.

Oh my God, just two yuan more and it would be my entire month's salary.

Holding the price tag with trembling fingers, I asked him, "Boss, you really will reimburse me, right?"

Jiang An knocked on my head and said to the shop assistant, "Swipe the card."

I had to admit, those were indeed the three most beautiful words in the world.

Who wouldn't love a 60,000 yuan dress?

I felt like I could wear it for 50 years.

Jiang An didn't invite any classmates, but I saw Lu Xue at the Jiang house.

She wore a white tulle dress, fluttering over like a graceful butterfly.

"Jiang An!"

Thud—

Lu Xue fell in the center of the hall.

Face first.

It seemed that polishing the tiles too much was not necessarily a good thing.

I kindly helped Lu Xue up, but she didn't even say thank you. Instead, she cried and threw herself into Jiang An's arms.

Jiang An held his hands up in the air, giving me pleading looks.

"Miss Lu," I pulled her away, "Jiang An's suit is wrinkled, it needs to be tidied."

At that moment, Lu Xue exclaimed again.

"Ah! The birthday gift I prepared for so long... I broke it when I fell."

I glanced at it; it was the rumored brooch that Lu Xue had designed and made herself.

Hmm, there's something I'm not sure if I should say.

Jiang An probably wouldn't like a pink diamond butterfly brooch, right?

The Jiang family's butler timely stepped in to defuse the situation: "Miss Lu, please come with me to the lounge to treat your injuries. I'll have someone repair your gift, no need to worry."

The butler then asked, "And who is this young lady?"

Jiang An answered for me, "Her last name is Lin. She's my classmate."

The butler beamed, "Miss Lin, nice to meet you."

I shook his hand, thinking: Mr. Butler! You're supposed to be my superior! Just call me Little Lin!

I was hiding in a corner savoring a small cake when Lu Xue leisurely walked over.

She pointed to a rich girl in a pink strapless mermaid dress and said, "See that girl? Her name is Xu Xing Fan, she's Jiang An's arranged marriage partner."

I nodded thoughtfully, so that's my future boss lady.

Lu Xue looked at me with disdain, "Lin Wan Yue, take a look at yourself, how can you compare to her?"

? Why would I even want to try to compare myself to her?

On the contrary, Lu Xue seemed to be wearing the same brand and series as Xu Xing Fan, even the same necklace.

At that moment, Xu Xing Fan suddenly walked towards us.

She greeted us warmly and introduced herself, "I'm Xu Xing Fan. You must be Jiang An's peers? I'm a bit older than you, already graduated, and now a jewelry designer."

Lu Xue's face darkened a bit.

No wonder she wanted to personally design a brooch for Jiang An.

Turns out it was all about competing with her.

Xu Xing Fan handed me a glass of red wine: "Try this, I brought it from home."

I took a sip and met her inquiring gaze.

I complimented, "Good wine, it tastes very good."

Xu Xing Fan smiled warmly and brushed her hair off her shoulder: "It's not particularly good wine, just something I made myself for fun."

She handed me another glass: "Try this one too."

I forced myself to drink it, then praised, "It tastes good too."

Actually, I couldn't taste anything distinct.

I had only drunk red wine twice in my entire life!

Xu Xing Fan toyed with the ring in his hand and said leisurely, "You are all just young girls, so I won't fuss with you. It doesn't matter how Lu Xue wants to compete with me. I never take it seriously."

"But you... Lin Wan Yue, I don't like people getting too close to Jiang An."
