Mi Nuo studied Ji Chen suspiciously. Ji Chen misunderstood her intentions and checked to see that his surroundings were clear before lowering his voice and saying, âIâll tell you something that you canât tell anyone else.â
After Mi Nuo heard this, her eyes widened. Then Ji Chen said, âZhuang Nainai is Gu Qingyan. Sheâs the Imperial Groupâs Mrs. Si! Now you understand, right?â
Mi Nuo feigned a shocked expression. She clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped, âExecutive Assistant Ji, this, this isnât a joke, right? Sheâs... sheâs Mrs. Si?â
Ji Chen nodded. âTheir tiff has caused so much disturbance in the internal department. But is Mr. Si the kind of person who would allow someone else to bully his wife? So, now you understand what youâve done wrong, donât you?â
Mi Nuo immediately nodded, then gasped in shock again, âThen, then I even said that she stole the design drafts, this, this...â
After she said this, her eyes turned red again. She looked terrified.
After Ji Chen saw her terrified expression, he sighed. She was, after all, a young lady. She was young and she couldnât handle so many surprises in one go.
Thus, Ji Chen patted her shoulders. âAlright, whatever happened in the past is in the past now. Donât bring up whatever reflection and the companyâs regulations and rules from now on!â
Mi Nuo nodded, then tried to probe Ji Chen for further clues. âThen what should I do now?â
Ji Chen replied, âYou donât have to take any special action. You can just wait upon Madam. Donât let her get upset with anything happening within the company. Let me tell you, it wasnât easy for Sir to get Madam to return to work this time around.â
After he finished speaking, he couldnât help but heave a long sigh. It was so difficult being an assistant!
Mi Nuo waited for Ji Chen to leave before she closed the door. She was shaking with anger.
She stood in the middle of her office and violently swept everything on her table off onto the floor!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhuang Nainai!
Mr. Si had asked her to return to the office! And Mi Nuo had to appease her now?
Mi Nuo took two steps back and collapsed on her couch. Her gaze was deep as she fixed it on the items on the floor and drifted deep into her own thoughts.
âKnock knock knock!â There was a series of knocks at the door, then it was pushed open. Li Liâs voice called out, âDirector Mi, the drafts...â
Before she could finish speaking, Mi Nuo whipped her head around. After seeing Mi Nuoâs expression, Li Liâs voice was caught in her throat, and she started to feel as though her hair was standing on end!
But once she had snapped back to her senses, Mi Nuoâs expression had reverted to her usual warm smile. Li Li wondered if what she just saw was a figment of her imagination.
Mi Nuo asked, âIs something the matter?â
Li Li nodded. âDirector Mi, regarding TZâs design drafts, our company canât use them no matter what. Didnât you say that you will think of an alternative? Our design drafts for this yearâs leading style havenât been completed yet, but the preparation for everything else has been completed. Iâm here to ask, which is the leading piece for the clothing design department? Are you finished with the drafts?â
When she brought up the design drafts, Mi Nuoâs eyes narrowed again. A rush of annoyance bubbled up within her, and she could not help but wet her cracked lips with her tongue.
She was being asked to produce a leading style within a short period of time. Did they think she had superpowers?
However, everyone in the company thought that she, indeed, had the ability to do so. After all, she had clinched the âoutstanding awardâ in the world-renowned Starlight Design competition!
And the thing about inspiration was that it was elusive â it didnât come to you just because you wished for it!
Mi Nuo was annoyed to no end. How was she supposed to come up with a number of design drafts?
But then she suddenly recalled what Ji Chen had said. It was Si Zhengting who had requested for Zhuang Nainai to return to the company...
