When Lai Shuo spoke about today’s incident, he also felt a headache coming on because of Xiao Shuo. "It’s still related to Boss Ye; he fought with Boss Ye."
Essentially, Xiao Shuo had too much free time on his hands and needed a job to keep him occupied.
After pondering for a while, Lai Shuo asked again, "But he still shows no sign of remorse and keeps ranting about not letting Boss Ye off the hook."
"That’s his personal grudge with that woman. Don’t get involved!" Xiao Linye replied.
Xiao Linye disdained Xiao Shuo, and he felt no particular fondness for the owner of Manlang either.
Lai Shuo was taken aback by the response and paused.
So, whatever Xiao Shuo does to Boss Ye of Manlang is fine?
To be honest, Lai Shuo didn’t particularly want to get involved either; his anger towards the owner of Manlang hadn’t subsided.
That woman’s character and way of doing things are quite irritating. It’s only fitting that someone as troublesome as that Third Young Master Xiao should go and bother her.
So, should I find someone capable to supervise the Third Young Master?
But on second thought, he needs tempering anyway, so perhaps it’s best to leave it.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuning had no idea what kind of impression she, as a boss, currently made on Xiao Linye.
When she returned to her company, she saw Chen Wei looking at her with eyes full of reproach.
Chen Wei was also quite surprised to see her. "I rushed over to the police station right after, but you’d already been picked up."
She had thought her own work efficiency was quite high, but it turned out someone was even faster.
Looking at it this way, the boss’s husband wasn’t bad at all!
He might be a bit ordinary, but whenever the boss was in trouble, he really stepped up.
Compared to that profligate Third Young Master, he was so much better, wasn’t he!?
Ye Yuning said, "Next time, be quicker!"
When Xiao Linye picked her up, she was scared to death. She had almost blown her cover today!
If Xiao Linye had actually seen Xiao Shuo, and Xiao Shuo had let something slip, she would have had no way to explain.
My dear ancestor, you’re still thinking about a next time?!
This was a fight, not exactly something honorable.
However, thinking about how badly Xiao Shuo had been beaten today, Chen Wei felt a surge of glee.
Although she had been scared at the time, she couldn’t resist stepping forward to land a couple more kicks herself.
Following Ye Yuning’s instructions, Chen Wei retrieved the previously saved 3D image of Yunmen Mountain.
Ye Yuning found a good location, made a draft sketch of the area, and then sent it to Gui Xingli.
A response came in the afternoon when work resumed.
Gui Xingli said she was very satisfied and that Jiang Ye would personally bring the business department over that afternoon to discuss the relevant details.
Upon hearing this reply, Ye Yuning knew the matter was settled.
Indeed, Jiang Ye arrived with his team at four o’clock.
He said to Ye Yuning, "Our young chairman is very pleased with your design. Actually, you didn’t need to make that trial draft."
"It has always been the process; I’m used to it," Ye Yuning replied.
In the past, no matter which company she collaborated with, she would always produce a trial draft of a project for them to review first, rather than using renderings from previous works.
By creating something specific for the project, it made it clearer for the client to see if her design matched what they wanted.
Jiang Ye was very satisfied with her words.
He took out the Yunmen Mountain contract and passed it to Ye Yuning. Ye Yuning had a very thorough understanding of contracts.
After all, she had suffered such a significant loss because of Xiao Linye before.
However, she still had the studio’s lawyer glance over it. She focused particularly on the breach of contract clauses, and seeing no issues, she signed it.
After they finished discussing the project details, Jiang Ye added, "The company has decided that all future Luozhou projects will be handed over to Ye Yuning to handle. He will have the relevant project materials sent over as soon as possible."
Hearing this, not only was Ye Yuning shocked, but even Chen Wei, standing behind her, couldn’t contain her excitement!
Before, she thought losing the Xiao Corporation account was like losing a big watermelon—a real pity.
But now, it was like they’d lost a big watermelon only to pick up a giant golden melon of a sponsor!
Chen Wei usually escorted people only to the elevator, but this time, she politely escorted them all the way to the parking garage.
Xiao Shuo came to pick up Ye Tong, a thick bandage wrapped around his forehead.
He had planned not to go out today but couldn’t withstand Ye Tong’s persistent pestering on the phone. Plus, he had to work the next day, so he came.
Seeing Chen Wei fawningly sending the guests off to their car, he couldn’t help but sneer, "Hah, without the Xiao Corporation, everything looks like gold to you now, huh? Too bad those projects are doomed to not make any waves for you!"
Angered, Chen Wei glared fiercely at Xiao Shuo.
What a jinx! Her good mood vanished in an instant.
Chen Wei retorted with a cold laugh, "True, without the Xiao Corporation, we might not make much of a splash. But Miss Ye Tong’s collaboration with the Xiao Corporation hasn’t made any waves either!"
Xiao Shuo’s breath hitched, and he glared at Chen Wei as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Chen Wei continued, "Oh, right! And don’t overestimate the importance of the Xiao Corporation. We’re just cooperative partners. If we can’t work with the Xiao Corporation, we can still work with Blue Island, and there’s also the Luozhou project. Which one of those isn’t bigger than the Xiao Corporation?"
He really thinks the Xiao Corporation is some kind of golden safety net.
Previously, Chen Wei had thought that, at the very least, they shouldn’t offend the Xiao Corporation.
Back then, she had overlooked one thing: their young boss relied on her talent to make a living.
In the design world, her talent was currently unsurpassed—at least, Ye Tong couldn’t match it.
A collaboration obtained through plagiarism could fall apart any day now.
