âSo youâre saying the total prize money for this year has been multiplied by five?â
âYes.â
âHow many awards are there?â
âThere are five places, but it doesnât necessarily mean that they will all be awarded.â
âWhat do you mean?â Hai Xiaotang asked, puzzled.
Ji Chuan explained smilingly, âThis means that not everyone in the top five will get an award. The design must be approved by the president. If the president doesnât approve any designs, then there will be no winners.â
No wonder the prize money was so high with such strict rules.
âWhy is the prize money unusually high this time?â Hai Xiaotang continued to ask curiously.
Dongfang Yu glanced at her. Was she asking too many questions?
But Hai Xiaotang did not notice his look at all.
Ji Chuan answered, âBecause our company is bidding for a project in New York this year. This project is very important to us.â
Hai Xiaotang was taken abackâ
She seemed to remember now.
Dongfang Yu had gone to New York on a business trip this year in her previous life, and he was away for quite a long time.
And he had taken Lin Xinxin with him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At first, she didnât know. Only later, when their company was successful in the bidding in New York, and the building designed by Dongfang Yu as the chief designer received high praise and acclaim, and was widely reported by the media, did she learn about it.
The report had the list of those who participated in the design, and Lin Xinxinâs name was there.
Once she found out, she naturally had a big quarrel with Dongfang Yu.
Hai Xiaotang didnât want to recall her past lifeâs experiences, she could only sigh that Dongfang Yu and Lin Xinxin were really perfect for each other.
They were both so talented, and she was just pathetically bad.
So, it would be better to get this marriage over with earlier, to avoid being constantly annoyed at seeing those two together.
Hai Xiaotang didnât ask any more questions and continued eating quietly.
Dongfang Yu had finished eating and put down his chopsticks, instructing Ji Chuan, âYou may leave now.â
âYes.â Ji Chuan nodded and left with respect, leaving only the two of them in the office.
Hai Xiaotang also put down her bowl and chopsticks, âIâve finished eating, 1â11 leave right away. 1 wonât bother your work.â
She tidily packed her things without even looking at him once.
Dongfang Yu was casually leaning against the leather sofa, scrutinizing her with his gaze, âYou seem very displeased with me.â
Hai Xiaotang looked at him, forcing a smile, âThatâs absolutely not an illusion!â
ââ¦â Dongfang Yu smirked, âWhat are you dissatisfied with?â
âEating with you is just off-putting.â
âWhat did you say?â The manâs voice had suddenly turned a few degrees colder.
But Hai Xiaotang was not afraid of him, âEating with you and having to watch you work, itâs off-putting!â
âYet, you seem more interested in this off-putting job of mine.â
âI am only curious about the prize money!â
Dongfang Yu scoffed, âThe heiress of the Hai family, interested in such a small amount of money? Well, with only a small allowance each month, of course, you would not have any savings.â
Hai Xiaotangâs hand, packing her things, stopped abruptlyâ
Dongfang Yuâs words felt like a slap in the face, harshly ridiculing her.
Yes, she didnât have much savings.
Despite coming from a good family and having a fairly good marriage, she only got a small allowance each month.
Her grandfather gave her ten thousand yuan a month, and Dongfang Yu also gave her a fixed amount of twenty thousand. These thirty thousand yuan was her pocket money.
Apart from her monthly fixed allowance of thirty thousand, she had no other income.
And she had no skills to earn money either.
Even her studies were neglected in the pursuit of Dongfang Yuâ¦
On second thoughts, it seemed like she was useless, absolutely no match for Lin Xinxin..
