Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1999: Chapter 1993: The Dashing Woman

The others hadn’t expected such a beautiful woman to arrive.

"Hello, everyone." Qin Xue greeted with a smile; after all, she was the one who arrived late.

...

"Hello." Just as Qin Xue was feeling particularly awkward, a gentle voice cut through the uncomfortable atmosphere.

"Are you here for the interview as well?" the girl asked Qin Xue.

"Yeah." Qin Xue simply smiled and replied with a single syllable.

"You’re so beautiful. I’ve never seen someone as good-looking as you in my life," the girl said to Qin Xue with a smile.

"Oh, stop it. All the beauties here are quite stunning. It’s just that my outfit gives me an advantage," Qin Xue raised her eyebrow, initially thinking this girl was genuine, but realizing she had hidden intentions.

The girl’s words sounded like a compliment, but given the job interview setting with several people present, her praise seemed to belittle the others. It was clear whether this was good or bad for Qin Xue.

Qin Xue hadn’t expected to become the focus so quickly upon her arrival; it seemed being beautiful had its drawbacks. But was Qin Xue afraid? Certainly not. She was here for her own purpose and wouldn’t stoop to the same level as these women.

"Looks like you have a bit of self-awareness." Another woman, who initially seemed displeased, snorted upon hearing Qin Xue’s words and looked her over. This woman was truly beautiful but, like many stunning women, was easily targeted because others felt jealous of what they didn’t have.

"No matter how you put it, isn’t the sister here the most beautiful?" The soft voice from earlier chimed in again.

"Are you jealous of her?" Ruan Xinya tossed out a simple remark that froze Tong Lingmei’s smile.

Tong Lingmei hadn’t expected a couple of words directed at Qin Xue to result in such a retort.

"Sister, what are you talking about? How could I be jealous of such a lovely lady? I’m speaking the truth; isn’t she the prettiest one here? I didn’t say anything wrong." Tong Lingmei quickly reacted, not easily silenced. If that were the case, she wouldn’t be called Tong Lingmei.

"Miss, I’m well aware of my beauty. But there’s no need for you to praise me repeatedly. Focus more on answering the interviewer’s questions; don’t end up blindsided." Qin Xue was speechless. Such people, why the need to court trouble for her?

Despite all being women, women’s jealousy can be quite terrifying. They can swiftly deliver a blow without warning. They say noblemen are easy to provoke while the small-minded are hard to guard against. Even if she’s not here for the job, there’s no need to attract such people to Xiao Qi’s company, and her husband’s shares are involved too.

"Haha, you’re hilarious." Upon hearing Qin Xue’s words, Ruan Xinya laughed outright. It seemed this woman wasn’t as innocuous as she appeared. Just moments ago, she worried Qin Xue would be surrounded by cattiness, but she turned out to be someone who played the fool to snare the tiger.

"Oh, not at all." Qin Xue glanced at the woman who had helped her earlier. She was also quite attractive but leaned towards a more androgynous look, exuding a heroic vibe, somewhat similar to Nangong Beiying. Yet, Nangong Beiying was slimmer and more slender, so this woman was both alike and different.

Qin Xue thought if this woman cut her hair short, she’d undoubtedly look dashing. Sporting a suit, no one would think she was a woman because not only did she have a masculine look, but her voice also carried a neutral tone. Qin Xue found this enlightening.
