Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Mr. Wu_1
The design department didn’t exist before, it was established only because of his arrival, and although he is labeled the person-in-charge, he is the only one in it.
Wu Huai rubbed his brow in distress. If it wasn’t for Mr. Gongxi’s request, he would never have worked in such a third-rate clothing factory.
Chen Cuihua looked aggravated when she realized someone was going against her, “What do you mean by that, Mr. Wu? Are you opposing me?”
Wu Huai’s scrutinizing gaze landed on Nan Fei, expecting to see a young maiden flinching or acting inferior. But to his surprise, she met his gaze with clear, calm eyes.
There was none of the expected inferiority common among rural people, or cynicism.
He was pleasantly surprised and raised an eyebrow.
“Of course not!” Wu Huai didn’t really enjoy dealing with Chen Cuihua. After hearing her words, he quickly calculated in his mind the pros and cons.
His conclusion surprisingly was that Chen Cuihua was right! The girl before him, although not a known figure, without the power to draw a crowd, had stunning beauty and an extraordinary presence.
Sometimes customers behave wildly; seeing something look good on someone else can in itself become a reason to buy.
“Sure, I will arrange it. Once the contract is signed, we can start shooting next week,” he quickly agreed.
“That’s great!” Chen Cuihua nodded with satisfaction, then she whispered in Nan Fei’s ear, “Hee-hee-hee…my idea was good, right?”
Nan Fei found it hard to share Chen Cuihua’s enthusiasm for praise, and reluctantly nodded her head, disingenuously saying, “Very good! Thank you, Sister Chen.” In reality, she didn’t want to shoot the ad at all.
If it wasn’t for the money… Well, let’s just say she was desperate and had no other choice!
When Nan Fei thought about Huo Beijiang, she immediately panicked. Given his petty nature, she wasn’t sure if he would get so angry as to become violent. She hoped not; she hoped she was overthinking it.
Once the basic details of the contract were settled, Chen Cuihua handed the remainder of the work to Wu Huai. She then departed from the factory with Nan Fei and went back to the hotel, even finding time to have dinner out on the way.
Despite their different personalities, their similar interests and ideologies kept them engaged in endless conversation.
Upon entering the hotel, both seemed in high spirits. Chen Cuihua had amused Nan Fei with a true comedic tale that occurred nearby, making her beam with laughter, as if she was glowing.
The hotel, however, was filled with an oppressive, ominous ambiance. At once, everyone’s gaze turned towards the entrance.
Did their eyes carry a hint of sympathy?
Chen Cuihua thought she had seen incorrectly. It was only when she noticed her son sitting on the couch with an austere expression that she realized something had happened. Oh no! He must be aware that his room had been taken by someone else!
That jerk, didn’t he say he wouldn’t come? That he was committed to staying with his biological father?
During her time at the clothing factory, Nan Fei had suspected that the Gongxi family, mentioned by Qiao Jingxuan, could be the new classmate Gongxi from her class. But it was just a hunch, she was not sure.
She simply couldn’t believe such a coincidence would happen in reality. But now, seeing it with her own eyes, she realized how small the world can be at times.
In the past, Gongxi Yunqi did not leave a deep impression on her. Her world was completely dominated by Huo Beijiang. Coupled with her dropping out of school during her senior year in high school, she lost touch.
The only memory she had was when he fainted due to anemia at a sports event in tenth grade. It was her who carried him to the school’s infirmary.
This was possible only because she was physically stronger than most of her peers due to her experience with farm work since childhood.
