The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Walking into a Dead End_1

She was so close to making it, about to transition from washing dishes to being a waitress.

Chai Xiyang had to ruin her job like this…

Lying in her bed, unable to sleep, Qiao Ning was quiet, not too upset, just feeling very down.

She didn’t have the energy to be upset. She had to get up early the next day to look for work again!

The next day, Qiao Ning set out with her meager possessions, resuming her job hunt.

Yet, every job she applied for, she was rejected.@@novelbin@@

...

At first, Qiao Ning thought she was being rejected due to lack of work experience.

Later she realized something was amiss.

She noticed that at every job interview, the interviewer would be called away for a moment, then return with a change of attitude, promptly saying she was unsuitable for the position, thus not hired.

Qiao Ning was no fool, she could tell someone was sabotaging her job hunt.

The person behind this had no intention of letting her off easy.

Was it Chai Xiyang again?

Why did he have to treat her like this?

Was it because her mother had disappeared, leaving him without someone to take his revenge on, resulting in her bearing the brunt of it?

But was this necessary… she was only looking for a very humble job, did he really have to go this far?

Although Qiao Ning encountered many difficulties, she was not deterred.

Compared to being in prison, these challenges were nothing.

But as the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs while misfortunes never come singly.

Just as Qiao Ning was looking for work, she nearly had all her cash stolen.

She only had less than 1000 yuan on her, including 300 yuan she brought from prison, of which she had frugally spent 200 over the past month.

These few days of job hunting cost her over one hundred more, and then 900 were stolen from her.

Qiao Ning was left with just over seventy yuan in change.

This was only because she carried it with her at all times, preventing it from being stolen!

Qiao Ning didn’t anticipate such misfortune, her mood as terrible as if stripped by a fierce wind.

But the only comfort was that her luggage was still there, and the thief didn’t take her belongings.

The more important things in her luggage were all there, thankfully…

But without money, she would soon be living on the streets.

It’s not that Qiao Ning hadn’t considered seeking Hai Xiaotang’s help.

But she didn’t want to bother her any further.

Xiaotang was just her friend who had given up so much for her, she wasn’t able to impose on her anymore.

As long as she wasn’t near death, she did not wish to trouble her or add to her burden.

She was physically able and determined to survive on her own. If she had to rely on Xiaotang for everything, she would feel like a waste of space.

But now she was indeed inching towards a dead end, should she go seek her help?

Qiao Ning sat alone at the subway station for a long time, lapsing into a daze, before finally determining to go see Chai Xiyang!

Yes, she was going to see Chai Xiyang!

Qiao Ning was waiting near the Chai family’s villa until the sun went down before she saw Chai Xiyang’s car slowly drive back.

Then, to Xiyang’s surprise, a figure darted out to stop him, his swift brake barely managing to avoid hitting her.

Looking intently at the figure blocking his vehicle, Chai Xiyang hesitated briefly.

He got out of the car, looked at the distraught Qiao Ning, and smirked coldly: “What, ready to beg for help now?”

“Chai Xiyang…” Qiao Ning stared steadily at him, every word pronounced with determination.
