Xinping smiled, "That's true! So now you are the only one who can help me create a chance to meet him. I need you to try to find out the situation in the company for me. Be assured! I will not treat you badly after this." With a sense of superiority, she handed a card to Christy.
"What are you doing?" Christy was taken aback. She glanced at the card and found that it was a shopping card. She seemed to have been burned and gently pushed it back to Xinping.
Xinping pushed it again to her and whispered, "Take it, I know your mother needs a lot of money because of her illness. There is some money on the card, you can use it in various supermarkets and shopping malls. Besides, you have a job right? Then You must need some nice clothes and cosmetics!"
How could it be possible to take it? They were not that close. Besides, Xinping must have her intention, and Christy didn't want to help. She still had her principles; she wouldn't do something broke her bottom line.
"No, I mean it," Christy became a little angry. Her face flushed as if she was severely slapped. Her heart was even more uncomfortable. She didn't know how to refuse reasonably.
But, in Xinping's view, it should be a simple event. She said with slight contempt in her eyes, "don't be pressured; it's like lifting a finger for me."
No wonder that she had been so poor. She didn't know the workaround. If she kept being like this, how could she make her life better with a sick mother and a troubled little kid? Xinping didn't understand why she adopted someone else's child.
In the eyes of an outsider, Christy's behavior was suspicious enough. She couldn't even support herself; why would she adopt a kid? It was a kind of irresponsibility If she could not give the kid a good life.
"Xin Ping, I really can't take it. You see, I'm just a secretary. I don't have the power to arrange James's life. I don't have much chance to mess with the company's affairs. I can't help you.
Christy directly rejected her.
Since it's something beyond her capability, it's better to refuse it. Otherwise, it may frustrate everybody.
But, Xinping obviously didn't think so. She stared at Christy and said softly, "Don't worry, you don't have to decide now. Take time and think about it; you may change your mind someday."
Yes, people will change! No one knew what would happen to them tomorrow. Their thoughts of today would also change dramatically tomorrow.
Christy shook her head, but she did not say anything to refuse the suggestion. She said sincerely, "I really can't take what you have offered. I'm sorry. Thank you for your previous help. If possible, I would rather use something else to repay your."
No one was born as a bad guy, nor was there someone who didn't want to repay the kindness. Living in this world, everyone was helpless sometimes; everyone had their persistence and difficulties, so mutual understanding was needed.
