Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Push One’s Luck
Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Zixi turned her sorrow into motivation. Early the next morning, she arrived at the conference room and started writing the project plan with a flurry of activity.
Shen Yushan pushed the door open while drinking soy milk and was startled to see Su Zixi looking so deeply troubled.
“Why are you here so early? Have you eaten?” she asked, sitting down next to Su Zixi.
“Yushan, we absolutely must win the gold award in this competition!” Su Zixi declared fiercely.
Shen Yushan looked surprised: “What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”
Su Zixi pursed her lips and remained silent, her eyes still glaring fiercely at the screen.
She had been through too many shocks recently.
Ning Yichen and Su Lianxi were all lovey-dovey on one side, while Mr. He already had a socialite fiancée on the other.
Even Su Lianxi had landed a leading role in a major production. Su Zixi saw the news this morning by chance, and the producer announced that the lead actress was a complete newcomer. Although they didn’t reveal the name, from the scattered information, it was undoubtedly Su Lianxi.
Su Zixi felt incredibly oppressed, so she threw all her frustration into the competition.
“It’s nothing, I just believe that if you’re going to do something, you should do it well!”
Shen Yushan saw her suddenly full of energy and nodded blankly: “Our goal has always been the gold award… don’t worry, the professor also said our theme is excellent.”
“Yeah!” Su Zixi nodded vigorously.
For the next week, as the team leader, Su Zixi ruthlessly exploited the team members’ labor. They all suffered, but seeing that Su Zixi was even more diligent than they were, they swallowed their complaints.
Su Zixi firmly turned off her phone for a week, living an almost isolated life. She poured all her energy into the competition, and her previously repressed mood gradually eased.
Unfortunately, the day before the competition, when she arrived at the conference room early in the morning, she saw Su Lianxi at the door, and her good mood instantly turned foul.
“Sister.” Su Lianxi smiled brightly as always. Every time she saw her, she greeted her sweetly, as if they were genuinely close sisters.
Su Zixi was in no mood to deal with her and said coldly: “Get out of the way!”
“Sister, I found out that you’ve been preparing for a competition lately.” Su Lianxi flipped her hair, “No wonder you’ve been hard to find.”
Su Zixi lightly pushed her aside and took out her keys to open the conference room door.
“You…” Su Lianxi glared at her, “I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, you can forget about winning any award!”
Su Zixi was shocked and turned back to look at her: “What are you up to this time?”
“Sister, I don’t want your efforts to go to waste, but that challenge cup competition you’re participating in, our school has participants too. And coincidentally, the organizer of the challenge cup is Lingyun Group. Their young master is good friends with Yichen and is willing to do him this favor. Isn’t that quite the coincidence?”
Su Zixi’s lips trembled slightly: “Su Lianxi, that’s too much!”
“Hehe…” Seeing her expression, Su Lianxi’s smile became even sweeter, “Sister, I know you care a lot about this competition. After all, you have nothing right now and can only pin your hopes on these meaningless competitions. As your younger sister, it’s hard for me to watch.”
Su Zixi clenched her fists in hatred, barely restraining herself from scratching this woman’s face!
Why are there such shameless people in the world! She kept retreating, but Su Lianxi kept pushing her limits!
