Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 283: Su Ruomei's trouble [3]

Perhaps the idea of healthy competition within an organization was necessary seemed to be the norm but Ling Qingyu would rather not make her small team belonged to this category.

Working in harmony without clashes for a single ideal was more powerful than competition. Of course, competitiveness with one's own soul was better. Having not satisfied and attempting to overtake prior achievement was better in Ling Qingyu's opinion.

Don't race with others. Race against your inner self. In the long term, competing with others became more tiring but challenging oneself brought happiness and a healthy mental state.

Ling Qingyu was implicitly sending her message to Su Ruomei. Actually, after hearing Ling Qingyu state her position, Su Ruomei's heart warmed. The trust and care Ling Qingyu gave, made Su Ruomei satisfied with her current peaceful life.

The risks and suffering before she met Ling Qingyu were worth it. Su Ruomei's eyes teared up and swelled a little. She sniffled and rubbed her eyelids, taking deep breaths to calm her emotions. The saying confidantes could die for each other was not false when people's relation were closer than bloodlines.

Ling Qingyu gulped when Tang Ziyi and Yang Qingyue sent blaming looks. She didn't do anything. In fact, she showed huge support for Su Ruomei. Fortunately, Cai Ning only looked at her momentarily.

"Please, excuse my joke. I was being emotional." Su Ruomei recollected her composure. "In any case, after so long, Azi called me yesterday, hearing news of my recruitment."

Tang Ziyi, Cai Ning and Yang Qingyue transferred their wrath and became curious. Ling Qingyu's forehead creased and her lips twitched helplessly. She must be targeted among the girls. Alas, being strong sometimes brought disadvantages. Maybe she should also play as a crying helpless woman the next time.

If the other girls heard Ling Qingyu's thought, they would complain in dismay. Ling Qingyu's crying must be the biggest lie. She might cry but would never show. If one day she cried in front of others, something was indeed wrong.

Ling Qingyu: You girls are too much!

"Wait, she's about to quit her job in the military?" Ling Qingyu asked and covered her mouth after drawing annoyed glances.

Su Ruomei exhaled and said. "Yeah, she called me with a strange number. There was silence until I threatened to hang up, and then I heard sobbing." Su Ruomei sighed.

Ling Qingyu, Tang Ziyi, Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning collapsed. What was with this sudden turn of event? They expected the woman—Azi—to act domineeringly and bully Su Ruomei for a job. The girl wasn't a villain but a beggar.

"I still didn't know it was Azi. Otherwise, I would have shut down my phone. But fortunately I didn't. Maybe I'll have regret if that was the case." Su Ruomei said in relief.

Ling Qingyu's eyes narrowed. It seemed Azi's situation turned for the worse so much so that Su Ruomei feared Azi had depression tendency to suicide. In that case, Su Ruomei did a good job.

Although Ling Qingyu didn't care about the well-being of Azi, she was worried about how the unbearable event might affect Su Ruomei if things went south.

"She might have been like a bully to us but at least she hasn't brought any harm." Su Ruomei continued. "When I listened to her voice filled with devastation and at a loss, I understood I might just be her last straw or something. Though I have no idea how she knew my contact, I'm happy she reached out."

Yang Qingyue patted Su Ruomei's back. "You're really a good person to treat someone who say bad words to you. I don't think I might have the same mindset."

Ling Qingyu stepped forward. "Sister Yang shouldn't underestimate your justice feeling. I feel your everything."

"Stop interrupting." Yang Qingyu rolled her eyes and slapped Ling Qingyu's shoulder. Su Ruomei paused and flickered her gaze between the two. There was definitely something going on but her priority set in.

"Ahem—I don't know whether to pity her or laugh at her situation as joke. Her valued husband betrayed her in the end. For his career, he could even sacrifice his wife to a high-ranking official."

F**k! That was the exact frequency every girl vibrated. They were now hearing a real cuckold story, especially one where the husband willingly shared his wife. How ridiculous and disgusting!

It would be another story if the spouse was willingly playing to liven up sexual life. But to do such livid acts for one's own benefit, how selfish the man was? The most frightening thing was this happened in the military. The stake of corruption was highly unimaginable.

According to Su Ruomei's yesterday conversation, Azi's husband's act of sending her away wasn't the first time. This repetitive behavior to curry favor seemed unsurprising since Azi's appearance was like a goddess, despite paling when compared with Ling Qingyu's group.

Being used like an object by one's beloved killed Azi's mental state to the brink of collapse. What struck her more was when her husband committed adultery and didn't care about her mood as if she weren't a breathing human being but rather an infallible doll.

An irony for someone who taught others to seek dependence on men. When Azi tried to divorce, it became impossible. Despite her talent and strength as an aviation pilot, everything dimmed in front of a powerful background.

For high officials, they would never allow divorce on their records. Azi's situation turned bad. To eliminate her desire to divorce, Azi's pressure mounted.

With some petty excuses she was suspended as a pilot without salary. When she decided to quit to look for another area to work as pilot, her qualifications were revoked. Any possibility for her independence was cut off.

She could work as a waitress and in other services but she knew she would encounter problems soon. She was like a puppet, whose role was to wait for other's manipulation. As an orphan, what background did she have.

Even those who grew up together with her didn't have the strength to help and she wasn't willing to trouble them. As for friends in the military, because of repulsive behavior, none intervened or they were powerless too. Some might even be snickering behind her back.

Azi called for anyone she was familiar with in search for help. Some acted ignorance. Some delayed. With door closing, she was in despair until she discovered Su Ruomei's recruitment news of women especially from the military.

The sole purpose of isolating her and making Azi more dependable nearly succeeded. Of course, rather than Azi seeking for job, she sought for someone who would be on her side even if it meant a lie.

Su Ruomei couldn't help but remember Azi's disheartened words. "You can laugh me or mock me later but please don't in front of me. I hope you can listen me speaking. I wish for you to be on my side even if it's a lie. Just once."

Fate might have brought Su Ruomei and Azi together. From enemies to friends through numerous ups and downs.

Having heard Azi's experience, Su Ruomei's prior dislike transformed into pity, recalling her similar situation. Did she like Azi? No.

Had she forgiven her? No.

But does Azi deserved to be treated as such? Heck no.

Su Ruomei's strong premonition prompted her to act. Without more words, she invited Azi to her side, promising there would be a safe job, free from these bastards' hands.
