The bruise on Shen Qianshu’s back was hurting badly in the afternoon. If she stood too long, it hurt. Furthermore, some equipment used required her to bend forward, making it hurt very badly. Physiological pain naturally made people’s temper worse. What was more, she heard nasty comments. That naturally made her furious.
Shen Qianshu took leave from work and went home straight away.
After changing the ointment, she fell into a deep sleep.
Tong Hua returned home and brewed some soup. He did not wake Shen Qianshu up until the soup was brewed. Her mood became much better after the nap. The ointment Ye Ling gave had miraculous effects. The pain was no longer as strong.
“Mommy, are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Shen Qianshu said, smiling while touching Tong Hua’s nose. “Don’t worry. Mommy’s fine.”
Tong Hua looked at Shen Qianshu seriously and said, “Mommy, when I’m older, I’ll definitely protect you well. Nobody can bully you.”
“Great,” Shen Qianshu said happily.
She loved when Tong Hua looked so ambitious despite being small.
It was as if they could forget the fact that Tong Hua was not going to live for long.
The appraising work at Dream Star lasted a whole seven days.
The report had come out too.
The gem that Luo Jingshu picked was slightly better than Shen Lin’s.
Shen Lin exploded in anger.
She had a greater reputation than Luo Jingshu. This time, the competition was organized by AG, GK, and Dream Star, and each company picked six people to take part in it together. The rules of the competition were very odd. The President of AG, Ye Ling, set a new rule to test the designer’s taste in gems. The results took up one-fifth of the total score for designing, which would be taken into account for the final score. For that, an appraiser from Gubelin was sent to each jewelry company.
Shen Qianshu was in charge of Dream Star.
In other words, the Gubelin appraisers were the first judges of the designers.
This was why the jewelry designers at Dream Star only dared to speak ill of Shen Qianshu behind her back and not scream into her face.
Shen Lin’s radiant face darkened. “She must have done it intentionally.”
Shen Qianshu must have done it intentionally.
“Shen Qianshu, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“The purity and clarity of your gem are not as good as Luo Jingshu’s. This is an unarguable fact.”
Shen Lin took a step nearer to her and with viciousness in her eyes, said “Shen Qianshu, don’t forget. If my score is low, you will have to work harder.”
Shen Qianshu’s eyes sank and she humphed. “B*tch!”
Shen Qianshu went away. It seemed as if Shen Lin was filled with resentment. Although she was insulted, she did not feel offended.
What can you do with all your hate?
So what if you feel indignant? You will still have to fall into the holes I’ve dug for you.
Li Zhiyuan came to pick Shen Qianshu off from work. A bright yellow Audi R8 stopped outside the dark Dream Star. It was like a ray of light in the dark, drawing much attention. The attention-seeking car and handsome lad attracted passersby from the crowd around, who started taking photos.
The moment Shen Qianshu left the building, she saw Li Zhiyuan’s attention-seeking race car.
What an attention seeking person.
Shen Qianshu held onto her forehead, wishing she could pretend not to know him.
Li Zhiyuan was waving frantically. “Baby Shushu, I’m here.”
“…” Shen Qianshu stared at Li Zhiyuan.
Who’s your baby Shushu?
“Shushu, how’s my new car? I’ll bring you for a ride.” In the dim environment, Li Zhiyuan’s smile was like a sunflower, full of life. His gentle face looked as if there was a layer of radiant light, making him seem even more charismatic.
The female workers of Dream Star gathered outside the building and watched Shen Qianshu in envy.
Li Zhiyuan was like a Prince Charming specially made for the ladies.
He came on a rainbow cloud to woo his goddess.
That made everyone extremely envious.
