Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 981: Working Together

Qi Mo ignored her and went straight to take a shower.

Leilei had no choice but to leave Qi Mo’s room and close the door behind her.

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Qi Mo was lost in thought about what Leilei had said: a handsome man came to pick her up.

He originally thought she returned with the things he had given her in the past, surely she still had some feelings for him.

Part of the reason she came back here must be because of him.

But now, it seemed to him that such wishful thinking was truly laughable.

If she really cared about him, how could she carelessly get rid of the things he gave her?

Or perhaps, she did it on purpose.

Qi Mo stood in front of the mirror, spacing out for a while before finishing his wash and lying down on the bed.

Over the years, he had hated Luo Sha quite a bit.

After all, she let down all the effort he had put into her and all the expectations he had for her.

So almost every time he thought of her, he would let himself hate her deeply, as if that was the only way to forget about her.

However, after several years, her sudden appearance still easily stirred ripples in his heart.

She already had a boyfriend, and he was still here thinking about her. Isn’t that ridiculous?

Early Monday morning, Qi Mo went out to report to the new company.

Qi Mo was hired as a technical staff member.

The salary and benefits were quite good.

This time, TC Group made an exception to hire several young people under the age of twenty-five, intending to infuse fresh energy into the company for change.

Qi Mo was the leader of these young people.

As Qi Mo followed the CEO into the office, the rest of the team had already arrived.

As soon as he entered, his eyes were drawn tightly to one person.

How could she be here?

Luo Sha obviously noticed Qi Mo. She glanced at him in surprise and then lowered her head, not daring to face him.

She didn’t expect that the legendary director would be him.

Although they were similar in age, as a director, he was clearly on a different level than them.

The few girls in the group, upon seeing Qi Mo, were smitten. They once envied her talent before seeing Qi Mo, but now they admired his good looks.

Even though everyone was looking at him, from the moment Qi Mo entered, his eyes were fixed solely on Luo Sha, who refused to lift her head to look at him.

Even though he thought of distancing himself from this woman, he ended up in the same office. What was going on?

"Director Ye." Just when Luo Sha’s heart was filled with anxiety, she suddenly heard his clear voice in the office.

"Yes." Director Ye was very polite to Qi Mo.

Partly because of Qi Mo’s talent, partly because of Qi Mo’s background.

Everyone knows he is the grandson of the Qi Family...

Qi Mo asked, "I heard that everyone who gets in here is highly qualified. What’s her deal?"

Qi Mo’s gaze pointed unceremoniously at Luo Sha.

Because of his question, all eyes turned to Luo Sha, making her feel her face burning with heat.

She didn’t expect Qi Mo to bring this up out of the blue...

Even if her academic qualifications weren’t as good as others, he didn’t have to blatantly humiliate her like that, did he?

Director Ye replied, "Looks like Qi Mo knows Luo Sha! She was personally recommended by Director Jiang from our company. Although she didn’t graduate from a prestigious school, there’s no doubt about her abilities, rest assured, we don’t carry deadweight here."

"..." Even though Director Ye said that, skepticism towards Luo Sha grew among everyone.

After all, each of them had met very stringent criteria to get in here, and they didn’t expect someone from a big-name university to sneak in. Everyone knows Director Jiang, who is even higher than Director Ye!

He’s one of the top leaders in the TC company here.

No one was interested in Luo Sha’s ability; they simply regarded her as someone who parachuted into the job.

Having finally got into a decent company, thinking she saw some hope, Luo Sha didn’t expect on her first day to feel the entire team’s bias against her.

Everyone quickly got familiar and left her out of the loop on purpose.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, she couldn’t help but look through the glass door at Qi Mo inside, knowing he was there, with a dedicated office as a director.

Even though she knew Qi Mo might no longer like her, she didn’t expect him to challenge her on her first day at work.

She knew how much weight a single word from him could carry in a situation like this.

At lunchtime, everyone went to eat, but Luo Sha was still sitting at her desk, knowing Qi Mo hadn’t left either. When she saw everyone had gone, she thought it over and got up to open Qi Mo’s office door.

Qi Mo was sitting at his desk with two computers in front of him, exuding a sense of seriousness in his business suit.

She knew he wasn’t that old, only a few years had passed, yet it seemed he had matured a great deal.

Qi Mo was originally focused on processing data, but the moment he felt the door being pushed open, his whole body seemed to stiffen.

"What’s up?" Even without looking up, he knew it was Luo Sha who came in.

Many people came in and out of his office, yet he didn’t understand why he could instantly recognize her.

His heartbeat’s rhythm also changed weirdly.

Luo Sha approached his desk, looking at him, "Why did you deliberately say that in front of everyone?"

She really felt unwilling and refused to believe Qi Mo just said it offhand.

To her, Qi Mo clearly did it on purpose.

He deliberately made her feel embarrassed in front of so many people.

"What did I say?" Qi Mo looked up at Luo Sha, his eyes filled with indifference, showing not a trace of previous tenderness.

"We all got in together, why did you have to question my academic background?"

Qi Mo chuckled lightly, "A person parachuting into the position, isn’t it ridiculous to come to me to complain now?"

"The truly ridiculous one is you." Luo Sha looked at him coldly, "Even if I wronged you in the past, there’s no need to make things difficult for me now. Do you know how important this job is to me? Do you know how hard it was for me to get in here?"

"Was it hard?" Qi Mo sized her up, his words dismissive, "I thought getting in here should have been quite easy for you. Find a boyfriend with connections, pull some strings, and you’d get in. You got in much more easily than the rest of us."
