As soon as Ye Moxuan went back to his company, Xiao Su was shocked to see a slap mark on his face.
He looked fine earlier, but why is there suddenly a slap mark on Young Master Ye’s face? Who dared to hit him?
What was even more surprising to Xiao Su was that Ye Moxuan’s face wasn’t darkened at all; instead, he seemed to be enjoying himself! Was my perception wrong? Why would Ye Moxuan not be angry after being slapped in the face, and he’s even hiding a smile under his eyes?
Xiao Su couldn’t hold his curiosity, so he went up to him. “Young Master Ye, what happened to your face?”
After hearing Xiao Su’s voice, Ye Moxuan finally came around and gave him a cold stare.
Xiao Su’s neck shrunk as he asked, “Young Master Ye, is your face… alright? Do I need to get you some medicine?”
“Get out!” After a while, Ye Moxuan crankily yelled out two words.
Fine, then. It’s better for me to not ask.
After Xiao Su got out, Ye Moxuan took out his phone to make an appointment, but then he realized that he didn’t have the woman’s phone number. And as for her WeChat account…
Thinking about it, his eyes dimmed.
The next time we meet, I must make her add me to her friend list. He put his phone away after making up his mind.
The second day.
Yan passed down Ye Moxuan’s case and proudly announced, “Our company has a lot of business. If you decide to focus on working hard here, I can guarantee that there will be lots of bonuses for you.”
Although the company was newly established, they had already taken the case of an award-winning actress, and another one right after. And now… came another huge deal.
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. Even though they had the backing of Han Qing, their business was still too good. The cases came one after the other, as if the clients thought of money as papers.
“Ye Moxuan? Our next client is President Ye of Ye Group, Ye Moxuan?” Shu Guo’er’s eyes widened as she looked at the case.
Even Zhang Yu couldn’t resist coming over after hearing her. “Ye Group of North City? Is it true?”
Meanwhile, Li Junfeng thought about it as he touched his chin. “Even Ye Group of North City brought their business here? Looks like this Muzi is more capable than I thought.”
Hearing him, Zhang Yu unpleasantly spat, “Who cares? It doesn’t actually show how capable she is. Maybe she used some other crooked way again!”
“Tsk. Would it even kill you to be convinced by her capabilities?” Leng Yueyue heard of her discredit and rebuked.
Zhang Yu suddenly burst into anger. “Leng Yueyue, do you have a problem? Was I talking about you?”
“Did I mention your name? Don’t be so arrogant and assume I was talking about you,” Leng Yueyue sneered.
“Ever since that woman handed Lin Xinghuo’s design to you, you have taken her side, haven’t you? Don’t forget that you also disliked her from that start, and now, you’re actually attacking me for her sake,” Zhang Yu retaliated.
“Zhang Yu, please get your head straight. I got the design solely because of my abilities. I disliked her at the start because I believed, at that time, that my capability was better than hers. But let me tell you now—only the weak and condescending people won’t see other people’s hard work in their eyes; instead, they will try relentlessly to wipe off other’s hard work to add more glory to themselves. Zhang Yu, are you one of those people?”
Wang An nodded in agreement. “Yueyue, my goddess, you said it well and reasonably. Zhang Yu, can’t you just be convinced of her? You should know what kind of people Ye Group of North City is. Even if you use crooked ways to get to them, they wouldn’t even bat an eye at you.”
Xiao Yiyi gave a rare cute nod. “I think so too.”
Then, Shu Guo’er rolled her eyes and giggled. “Zhang Yu, you are just too condescending. Miss Muzi isn’t that kind of a person.”
“Stop faking, Shu Guo’er. Don’t think I don’t know what you are truly thinking about. I assume you are still bearing hatred toward Muzi after she called you out for imitating other people’s work. So stop pretending to be a saint.”
Listening to her, Shu Guo’er blinked. “That was my fault in the first place. Besides, Miss Muzi was guiding me so that I could keep that in mind and achieve better results. Is there any problem with that?”
“You!”
“All of you, stop arguing now. It’s getting annoying!” Yan thought that they were only teaming against Han Muzi, but she didn’t know how divided they were internally. Then, she informed them, “This time, Ye Group will choose a designer among you all, so I will need you to hand over a copy of your most satisfied work to me, and I’ll send it over as our client’s reference.”
“All of us stand a chance?” Zhang Yu lost her focus as she pinched tight on her finger. If I could get the favor of Ye Group, then…
After thinking about it, Zhang Yu immediately went back to the front of her desk.
In the evening, Yan came over to collect everyone’s submitted work, and when she walked out of the office, a shadowy figure followed her out the door.
Seeing how the whole scene played out, Leng Yueyue couldn’t help but sneer, “I knew she couldn’t hold herself.”
Shu Guo’er pushed her hair to the back of her head. “Let’s guess. Will she succeed or fail?”
Li Junfeng shrugged his shoulders uncaringly. “I don’t care, anyway. I refuse designing clothes for men. When can we design some for a pretty lady?”
When Yan walked to the front of the elevator, somebody suddenly called her from behind.
She turned over to see Zhang Yu walking toward her.
She looked like she was sorry for Yan as she uttered softly, “Err… Yan, I was mean to you before, and it was my fault.”
Yan’s eyebrows raised as she looked at her oddly. “You’ve had a change of heart?”
“What?”
“Why else would you suddenly tell me this? I’m very busy, so I don’t have time to listen to you.” Maybe she had been hanging out with Han Muzi for a long time now. That was why Yan’s personality had become similar to hers, for she also didn’t hold back when facing annoying people.
“Yan, don’t be like that. See, this is a perfume I brought back from France; it’s a limited edition.” Zhang Yu placed the perfume box into Yan’s hand. At first, Yan was startled, but as she looked at the box and also Zhang Yu, she instantly understood her intentions.
“I get it. You’re trying to bribe me,” Yan sneered.
Zhang Yu’s expression changed as she forcefully let out a smile. “Don’t say it that way. This isn’t a bribe; it is just a token of regard. I have more gifts for you in the future.”
“So?” Yan looked at that bottle of perfume. “Do you really think that I will secure a place for you in this case after you’ve given me a limited-edition perfume?”
Zhang Yu was in an awkward position. “Yan…”
“Let me tell you now. This position will be chosen by the client himself, so it has nothing to do with me. So don’t you hope to get anything out of me.”
“Yan, I know that the client will choose it by himself, but… you can still eliminate some competition, and you also can put a good word in about me to the client.”
Yan’s eyes grew colder the more she spoke.
At the end, Yan felt speechless and was even disgusted when she looked at her. “How much more disgusting can you be? This case represents the whole company. If I chose to go down this path, and the client wasn’t satisfied at that time, who is going to bear this responsibility? Zhang Yu, it looks like after Muzi criticized you the last time and you refused to change, you still haven’t seriously studied the problem with your work. And now, you actually approached me to play these tricks.”
