The sarcastic remarks, coupled with laughs, attracted other male and female colleagues in the office.

One by one, they all began to examine the cashmere coat on Mo Qingning.

"No, this one looks like it’s real!"

A female colleague expressed doubts, walking over to Mo Qingning to feel the coat.

"The feel of it, it’s definitely real!"

"Ha! How could it be real! There’s no way she could afford the genuine article!"

"Exactly!"

"Even if it is real, she must have begged Young Master Xiao to buy it for her with her cutesy antics!"

Jiaojiao and Daidai retorted unconvincingly, causing the other female colleague to fall silent.

Looking at the two girls who were clearly targeting her, Mo Qingning shrugged with a smile, too lazy to waste time arguing.

"It’s just a coat, why do you immediately think women need to rely on men to afford it?"

She replied calmly.

Daidai and Jiaojiao’s faces froze.

"You..."

"I own every single winter coat from this brand. If you’re interested, you can come to my place and check out my wardrobe. Spend more time reading to enhance your professional knowledge. If you can’t even tell whether a coat from this brand is genuine or not, I wonder how you even got into this department."

After speaking proudly, Mo Qingning turned around, but suddenly a hand reached out and firmly pressed down on her shoulder.

"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning our work abilities?"

Daidai demanded, striding up to Mo Qingning.

"I should ask you, without even a diploma, how did you get into a multinational group like Di Jue? You’re the one who pulled strings!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Yes, I did pull strings. If you have the ability, you can too."

"..."

No one expected Mo Qingning to admit it so readily!

The trio was stunned, and the nearby colleagues were also surprised.

Jiaojiao and Daidai immediately began shouting as if they’d caught her weakness.

"You all heard it, right! She got in by pulling strings!"

"Damn! And she says it so righteously!"

"What rubbish! I knew you didn’t have any real skills!"

"Pulling strings is also a kind of skill. Do you possess this kind of skill?"

Mo Qingning asked with a slight smile, leaving the trio speechless.

They really couldn’t pull off such a feat.

When they were about to counter, Xiao Yize’s handsome figure appeared at the door again.

He walked over to Mo Qingning with a slight smile, holding her hand as if nobody else was around.

"Why’s it so lively here?"

He looked down at Mo Qingning and asked, but his eyes had already seen through everything.

Mo Qingning smiled.

"Yes, it’s especially lively today, maybe because it’s a special day!"

A special day?

Everyone was puzzled.

What special day?

Xiao Yize and Mo Qingning exchanged a smile and then spoke.

"Since you’re Qingqing’s colleagues, you should all come to Qingqing’s birthday party tonight."

He said as he took an invitation from his coat pocket and placed it on the table beside him, then wrote a few words on it before putting it down.

"Remember to come early."

After saying this, he turned away while holding Mo Qingning’s hand.

Their sweet, matching figures stung the eyes of the trio.

"So it’s Qingning’s birthday today?"

"Young Master Xiao is so handsome and considerate!"

"Let’s get a gift together and attend the party!"

Hearing the words of the nearby colleagues, the trio reluctantly picked up the invitation and took a look, their eyes widening.

"No. 1 Tianfu Road?"

"Isn’t that Young Master Mo’s house?"

"Why would she have her party there?"

"I got it! She must have used connections again!"

"Then let’s go together and see how this Qingning embarrasses herself!"
