Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 I Already Knew Chapter 87 -87 I Already Knew Song Wanqiu’s hints left the colleagues at the conference table staring at Lin Zhiyi, some eagerly anticipating drama.

Lin Zhiyi steadied herself on the table and slowly stood up, “Sorry, my leg’s a bit numb.”

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Song, I’ve prepared an electronic version just like you.”

After she finished speaking.

Song Wanqiu’s face froze for a moment, staring intently as Lin Zhiyi pulled out a USB drive.

Compared to Song Wanqiu’s surprise, Chen Huan’s expression was more intriguing.

Calm and composed.

After all, she had taken Lin Zhiyi’s design ideas.

*Unless Lin Zhiyi had a burst of inspiration in the past hour, it was impossible for her to come up with a good design.*

When the design on the screen was fully revealed, Chen Huan’s pupils dilated in disbelief.

Lin Zhiyi confidently explained, “My theme is... water.”

“Everyone knows about President Yu’s thunderous tactics, but a rain at the villa showed me his tenderness.”

“So I designed this necklace set in the form of raindrops. The necklace features an asymmetrical design, strung with pearls of varying sizes, gentle, elegant, and richly layered.”

“The brooch framework is crafted in platinum with flowing lines, like a ribbon winding around, adorned with gradient pink sapphires and a Nan Yang Pearl in the center, with colors radiating outward from it, ending with droplet-shaped diamonds at the ribbon’s ends.”

“It’s like the dewdrops in the misty mountains. It can be worn alone or paired with the necklace.”

After finishing her explanation, Lin Zhiyi glanced at Chen Huan and gave a subtle smile.

Chen Huan clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, as she seemed unable to figure out where she had gone wrong.

*Her mistake was being too hasty.*

*On the one hand, she acted like a workplace novice in front of Lin Zhiyi, while on the other, she sharply pointed out how Song Wanqiu targeted Lin Zhiyi everywhere.*

*Such a contradictory person must have suspicions.*

*Besides, Lin Zhiyi had already been through it once; she would not trust sudden and strange kindness.*

*So even when Chen Huan congratulated her at the villa and asked about her design ideas, she stayed cautious.*

*Rising from the ashes was merely an appearance.*

*Does a woman like President Yu need a rebirth?*

*Let’s not forget, she is a businesswoman at Gong Chen’s table.*

*She only needed one thing: beauty.*

Chen Huan designed the Fire Element jewelry set and copied a beautiful speech and façade; it would please anyone who listened.

Not to mention, she had always been behaving properly. Suddenly standing out like this, of course, would be dazzling.

Then, Lin Zhiyi went against her, damping the flames.

Actually, even without this theme, Lin Zhiyi’s design wouldn’t have been so special.

It was because Chen Huan was too eager to excel that she became Lin Zhiyi’s stepping stone.

At the end, President Yu and Xue Man led the applause.

Lin Zhiyi politely and calmly nodded, “Thank you.”

She sat down across from Chen Huan and Song Wanqiu, resting her chin lightly, with a bright and charming smile.

A moment later, Xue Man and President Yu stood up simultaneously.

“We’re going to discuss this. Take a ten-minute break,” Xue Man said, leading President Yu to her office.

The colleagues also went off to their own tasks.

Suddenly, only Lin Zhiyi, Song Wanqiu, and Chen Huan were left in the conference room.

Song Wanqiu turned sideways towards Chen Huan and clapped, “What a good show, Chen Huan. I really underestimated you.”

Chen Huan clasped her hands and looked down, “Miss Song, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t know? It doesn’t matter, all you need to know is that you lost to me again.” Song Wanqiu’s usual gentle demeanor was replaced with arrogance as she raised her eyebrow and glanced at Lin Zhiyi, “The same goes for you.”

Lin Zhiyi ignored her and sat quietly.

Ten minutes later, Xue Man and President Yu returned to the conference room.

President Yu scanned the three of them, his gaze finally settling on Song Wanqiu.

“Miss Song, I’ve decided to choose your design, so don’t let me down.”

“Yes, I definitely won’t let President Yu down.”

Song Wanqiu slowly stood up, nodding lightly, with a smile carrying a hint of irony towards President Yu.

She had said this before, President Yu had to choose her design.

Wearing jewelry symbolizing her late husband’s lover at various banquets, it must be frustrating for President Yu, right?

But so what?

She was Gong Chen’s woman.

Chen Huan couldn’t contain herself upon hearing the result, “This can’t be! President Yu, how could you choose her design? She clearly...”

President Yu shot her a cold look, “What? Are you questioning me?”

Chen Huan froze and immediately shook her head, “No, I just thought President Yu would choose Zhiyi’s design.”

*Stirring up trouble.*

Lin Zhiyi smiled and responded, “I respect President Yu’s choice and will continue to work hard in the future.”

President Yu’s brow relaxed, and he gestured at her with unclear meaning, “I’ve got other things to do, I’ll talk to you next time.”

After seeing off President Yu, Xue Man looked at the three of them.

“Lin Zhiyi, come with me for a moment, the rest of you get back to work.”

Lin Zhiyi replied with an “Hmm” and followed Xue Man into her office.

After she sat down, Xue Man took a sip of coffee, glancing at the calm Lin Zhiyi in front of her.

“I didn’t expect you to be so composed, don’t you want to ask anything?”

“Ask why President Yu chose Song Wanqiu? I believe President Yu has his own considerations,” Lin Zhiyi didn’t ask much.

Xue Man nodded in satisfaction, “I asked you here to tell you that President Yu also decided on your design, but I hope you can keep it confidential for now.”

“Okay.”

“Go ahead.” Xue Man waved her hand.

After leaving the office, Lin Zhiyi went directly to the pantry to get herself a cup of water to calm her nerves.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went in, Chen Huan followed behind her.

With no one around, Chen Huan dropped her pretense.

“At the villa, you deliberately said those things to lead me on?”

Lin Zhiyi took a sip of water, feigning ignorance, “No, I was just sharing my thoughts with you.”

Seeing her so calm, Chen Huan snatched her cup and slammed it onto the table.

“Did you know all along that President Yu would choose Song Wanqiu?”

“Yes.” Lin Zhiyi took a tissue and wiped her hands.

“You set me up and made me look foolish. Does that make you happy? But don’t forget, you lost too,” Chen Huan said through clenched teeth.

“Chen Huan, with the overwhelming coverage of Third Young Master and Song Wanqiu these past few days, how did you think President Yu would decide? You were too impatient, trying to pit me against Song Wanqiu, seizing the opportunity. Did you really think Song Wanqiu could become Third Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight Chapter 86 Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat the Tiger Young Master’s fiancée by just being gentle and considerate?”

Lin Zhiyi smirked, snatched back her cup, and turned to leave.

Chen Huan’s tone suddenly softened, helplessly saying, “Zhiyi, I’m sorry. I had no other choice. I can’t match your talent, nor can I match Song Wanqiu’s background, but I really wanted to stay in this circle, so I momentarily lost my sense.”

Lin Zhiyi paused, turning to look at her, “Chen Huan, I don’t need a cheap apology. But I’ll give you this piece of advice: take care of yourself in the future.”

The likes of Song Wanqiu are not to be trifled with.

With that, she left.

Chen Huan glared at Lin Zhiyi’s back with resentment.

Lin Zhiyi, you embarrassed me, and I’ll pay you back double!

But before she could think of how to retaliate against Lin Zhiyi, she was first retaliated against by Song Wanqiu.

In the afternoon, Song Wanqiu invited everyone for afternoon tea.

A large cup of iced coffee was “accidentally’ spilled on Chen Huan’s computer, causing almost all her data to be wiped out.

She screamed frantically, while Song Wanqiu apologized by her side with reddened eyes.

“Chen Huan, I’ll compensate you with a better computer.”

“...”

Chen Huan glared angrily, but in Song Wanqiu’s eyes, she saw a warning and disdain.

But this was only the beginning.
