Chapter 38 - Can You Not Live Without A Man

Liang Zixuan suppressed her laughter as she looked at his back with a gentle gaze.

Although she could not hear clearly what he was saying, his low voice was inexplicably gentle.

A man who understood filial piety usually had a good character.

After the call ended, Han Yuanjun turned around and said apologetically, "Sorry, there's something I need to do at home."

Liang Zixuan quickly waved her hands. "It's okay, President Han. You're busy. I can go back on my own."

Luckily, there was something stopping him. Otherwise, Liang Zixuan didn't know how to reject his offer.

Liang Zixuan really didn't lie. After she left Han Group Media, she did go to the supermarket first and bought all the daily necessities for her grandmother and herself. She also bought two pajamas.

Arriving home, as soon as Luo Yanyun saw her hands full of plastic bags, she quickly got up to help her.

Liang Zixuan quickly avoided her hand. "Grandma, you just sit there. I can do it myself."

Luo Yanyun followed her the whole time, watching her put those things in order. For the first time in many years, she felt like she had a home.

This was her house with her beloved granddaughter.

It felt good.

Although in the nursing home, there was someone in charge of her food and drink, but those people were always changing. None of them wanted to chat with her.

Even if there were other old people in the nursing home accompanying her, she still felt empty inside.

Nothing can replace kinship.

"Grandmother, if there is anything else you need, tell me and I'll go buy it." Liang Zixuan said while putting the items away.

Luo Yanyun looked at her with a smile but did not say anything.

After finishing sorting those items, Liang Zixuan pulled Luo Yanyun to sit on the couch. She took out two thousand yuan from her wallet and handed them to Luo Yanyun.

"Grandmother, take this money. I will not be home during noon, so if you want to eat or need something, then buy it. Don't treat yourself unfairly."

Luo Yanyun knew that Liang Zixuan didn't have much money on her, so she pushed the money back to her. "I have money, though not much, I still have a few hundred yuan. I have enough to eat."

"Grandmother!" Liang Zixuan grabbed Luo Yanyun's hand and solemnly placed the money on her palm. "I've found a job today. Next month, I'll be paid."

Liang Zixuan's heart ached when she thought about how her grandmother died after being chased out of the nursing home and having no one to take care of her.

She grabbed Luo Yanyun's hand and rested her head on her (Luo Yanyun) shoulder. Her eyes were red with sadness. "I will definitely take good care of you. Grandmother, you can buy whatever you want to eat. Don't refuse to spend the money. I promised that in the future, I would definitely let you live a good life. I will work hard!"

Luo Yanyun patted Liang Zixuan's hand and smiled contentedly.

Her granddaughter was very filial, making her happy more than anything else.

Even though Luo Yanyun wouldn't use that money, she could still save it for Liang Zixuan.

The next day, Liang Zixuan woke up early. When she went to the supermarket yesterday, she bought some cosmetic items. Thinking of Zhu Sheng and Shi Tianjian's disdainful gaze on her, Liang Zixuan put on some makeup today.

It was not a heavy makeup type, just a BB cream, eyeliner, and lip gloss to make herself look good.

She also wore clothes bought by Han Yuanjun. She left early because she didn't want to make HR people wait for her.

However, when she arrived, no one from the HR Department was there.

Liang Zixuan checked on the time. Fifteen minutes to nine.

She stood against the wall and waited patiently.

Han Group Media's employees walked past her one by one.

Liang Zixuan waited until 9:20. The staff, who was rumored to be waiting for her, had yet to arrive.

At this moment, her cell phone rang. It was an office number.

Liang Zixuan immediately answered the call. Shi Tianjian's impatient voice came out of the phone, "Liang Zixuan, what happened to you? Why haven't you arrived at the company yet? Are you going to be late on your first day?"

Even though Shi Tianjian's attitude towards Liang Zixuan yesterday wasn't very good, it wasn't to the extent that she was disgusted by her until now.

Liang Zixuan was confused, but she continued to explain, "I came here earlier. I'm at the company, but the HR hasn't arrived yet."

"Since the HR hasn't come, can't you think of a way yourself? Call them!" Shi Tianjian hung up the phone in an unfriendly tone.

Liang Zixuan wanted to say that she had just arrived and didn't know anyone from HR. So, who was she supposed to call?

After thinking for a while, she decided to walk to the front desk and ask for the HR number. At that moment, Yao Xiu walked out of the elevator.

When he saw her, he was surprised. "Why haven't you joined the company yet?"

Liang Zixuan smiled awkwardly, "The HR staff haven't arrived yet."

"What?" Yao Xiu's face immediately darkened. He immediately took out his phone. "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Liang Zixuan stood there and watched him call someone.

Soon, a woman walked out of the elevator with a straight face. When she saw Yao Xiu, her expression improved.

Yao Xiu said sullenly, "Can you do your job properly? Do you want me to invite you myself? Hurry up, take her to the department!"

The woman glared at Liang Zixuan.

"Liang Zixuan, if anything happens in the future, call me. I'll help you deal with it." Yao Xiu said while smiling at her.

Liang Zixuan could clearly see the woman's disdainful gaze. She smiled indifferently. "Alright, I understand. Thank you for your help today."

"No need to thank me." With that, Yao Xiu left in a hurry.

Liang Zixuan finished punching her work card and went up to the elevator with the woman.

Seeing that there was no one else around, the woman glared at her. What's the big deal? You actually went to Special Assistant Yao Xiu to report me?"

Liang Zixuan speechlessly rolled her eyes. "I didn't complain. I just happened to meet him there."

"Come on!" The woman sneered. "Do you think I don't know you? Aren't you the one who got her boyfriend stolen by Wei Xiaoqing? What? Now that you've reached Han Group Media, you plan to climb on President Han's bed?"

The woman laughed again. "Wei Xiaoqing's boyfriend doesn't like you, so you come here to hook up with the President? I say, Liang Zixuan, what is your family like? Can you not live without a man?"

Liang Zixuan never thought that she would be slandered like this on the first day she came to Han Group Media.

She looked at the ID tag on the woman's chest and said with a mocking smile. "I will remember you."

When Shen Juan heard this, she immediately covered her ID and looked at Liang Zixuan in surprise. "Why would you remember me?"

Liang Zixuan raised her eyebrow. "I just arrived at the company today, and I heard you slander me. If these words are spread all over Han Group Media, then I would think that you spread them. I remember Special Assistant Yao telling me to call him if there is anything I needed. If I say you're the one who spread the rumors and that you have damaged my reputation, what will he do?"

Shen Juan's scalp tingled with shock.

Luckily, they had reached the floor. Shen Juan glared at Liang Zixuan before stomping out.

She didn't even dare to say those harsh words in front of her anymore.
