Chen Fei was rendered speechless by Lin Xinghuo’s reaction.
Haha, I am about to lose my mind.
“Hang on. Just give me another five minutes.”
Lin Xinghuo looked at Chen Fei with puppy eyes when she begged him, yet he appeared cold and distant, completely ignoring her pleas.
Han Muzi cleared her throat before suggesting, “Miss Lin, your appointment today was set to be fifteen minutes, and it’s about time… Why don’t you go ahead with your busy schedule together with Mr. Chen?”
Lin Xinghuo opened her eyes wide at that. “Muzi…”
“Why don’t we save each other’s contact and chat when we have the time?” Han Muzi was not anticipating for Lin Xinghuo to be fangirling over her, and so she had no choice but to whip her phone out while brandishing at Lin Xinghuo.
Lin Xinghuo nodded vigorously and took her phone out as well to save Han Muzi’s contact into her phone.
After that, Lin Xinghuo even had a small request. “Why don’t we… take a photo together?”
Finally, the two of them had their photos taken, and Lin Xinghuo held onto her phone happily while uttering, “Wait for me. I’ll text you soon enough.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Only then did Lin Xinghuo leave with Chen Fei happily.
While walking out, Chen Fei shot Han Muzi a grateful look.
Han Muzi smiled helplessly while sending them downstairs.
Once they were gone, Yan stood beside Han Muzi before commenting, “It’s out of my expectations. Lin Xinghuo is totally the opposite of how I imagined.”
Han Muzi smiled when she heard that before she remarked, “I’m with you.”
“Right? She has a good personality, but… she seems a little clingy. Who would have thought she’s your fangirl?”
“It’s rather unbelievable.”
“Muzi, we have an order now! Let’s share the news with the others and let them know that you’re capable!”
“We should share the news with the others, but not the way you think; we should be sharing the workload with them.”
Han Muzi turned around and continued walking after making that remark. The two of them chatted while walking together. “You should gather them, and we’ll have a meeting after half an hour.”
Yan nodded. “Sure, I’ll inform them right away.”
Han Muzi returned to her office, whereas Yan went to the team members’ office floor to inform the group about the meeting.
Zhang Yu’s expression soured immediately at the mention of a meeting.
“Why are we having a meeting again? How many days have we been working? Why do we have meetings one after another?”
Leng Yueyue was slumped on her table weakly while staring coldly at Yan.
On the other side, Xiao Yiyi was pouting unhappily as well. “We’ve discussed so much yesterday; why do we have to continue with the discussion today? Is she… trying to make us do things since we seem to be too free?”
With that, she glanced at Lin Zheng before asking, “Lin Zheng, don’t you agree?”
The cold and aloof youth remained tight-lipped.
Yan folded her arms in front of her chest before smirking at them. “So what even if she’s trying to make you do things? You are all staff members of the company, so you have to obey your boss’ instructions!”
“Tsk!”
Zhang Yu clucked her tongue unhappily, but she packed her things and stood up anyway.
Yan smiled in satisfaction when she saw everyone getting ready for the meeting. “It’s in half an hour’s time, not right now.”
She turned to leave after she was done with the announcement.
Once she was gone, Zhang Yu was so angry that she slammed her things on her desk.
“She’s just an assistant, but she’s so arrogant. Who does she think she is? How dare she act all high and mighty around us? Are you guys just going to put up with that?”
No one responded to her question.
Zhang Yu stared at Li Junfeng while calling out, “Li Junfeng?”
Li Junfeng cocked a brow at her while folding his legs. “What? What’s wrong with having a meeting? She’s not even asking you to do physical labor. You don’t even plan to sit at the table and listen to her, is it?”
Zhang Yu did not have a comeback for that.
“Besides, if you don’t go against her, she wouldn’t resent you,” Li Junfeng commented with a sly smile. “You went against her, so it’s only natural for her to return the favor. This is normal.”
Zhang Yu retorted, “Li Junfeng, you are taking her side because she’s beautiful, aren’t you?”
Li Junfeng looked utterly surprised. “How did you know that?”
“You!” Zhang Yu was rendered speechless by anger, and she ignored Li Junfeng after that.
Leng Yueyue, who was observing them from the side, burst out laughing.
After half an hour.
When Han Muzi handed the group their task, everyone was in shock.
“We already have clients knocking on our door?”
“That’s right,” answered Yan gleefully while having her arms folded in front of her chest. “You’ve read through the file; the client will be attending a press conference. Now that you understand the task better, start drafting the design.”
Han Muzi glanced at the date fixed by Chen Fei and Yan, and she pursed her lips before announcing the date. “Hand me the draft after three days.”
“What? Three days? Are you joking?” Zhang Yu stood up abruptly, and her eyes were bulging in shock. “How is it possible to hand in a draft in three days?”
Han Muzi looked up while staring somberly at Zhang Yu.
“What do you think?”
“We need at least fifteen days to produce a draft.” Zhang Yu glanced at the rest of the team. “How can we finish it in three days?” she asked awkwardly.
Han Muzi couldn’t help but smile when she heard that.
“In that case, you tell me—you need fifteen days for a draft, so how long will it take to produce the final version? After that is completed, there’s the manufacturing process. Do you think that the client will wait for so long?”
“I…”
“The submission date is clearly written in the file. Everyone, please have a look.”
The group opened the file to scan the documents, and it turned out that the press conference was in half a month’s time, which was exactly fifteen days. It meant that they would have to finish the draft, set a final version, and have manufacture completed within fifteen days.
“Mm-hmm, we’ll be quite pressed for time,” commented Li Junfeng quietly after reading the file and closing the folder.
Zhang Yu, who was nearby, was unhappy when she heard that. “We are not ‘quite pressed for time’; we have not enough time at all! Fifteen days isn’t enough to even finalize the final version!”
“We have a large team, so is fifteen days not enough?” Han Muzi cocked a brow at them while scanning everyone at the table. “In the past, everyone has worked as a designer. Have you forgotten the concept as a designer? Our job is to fulfill the client’s wishes. This is the difference between receiving orders and designing for yourself. If you are confident with your work, you can absolutely design a piece of clothing according to your personal preference and then put it out on the market. However, we are in a different situation now, because we are now a company, and we are a team. Our clients have needs, and we have to suit their time and preferences.”
Han Muzi’s voice was calm but powerful.
“This is just one product, and you have so many members in the team, so you can communicate more with each other. We will have another meeting here after three days at 10AM. I hope I will see what I want in your hands by then. Meeting is adjourned.”
With that, Han Muzi lowered her gaze and started to pack her things.
Leng Yueyue gathered her things and stood up unhappily, and she left straight away.
Yan stared at her back view while remarking, “Well, Leng Yueyue seems rather quiet today.”
Is it that useful to bribe others? But she doesn’t look as if she’s been bribed, Yan thought as she shot Han Muzi a strange look.
