Chen Mei noticed Gu Juexi in the living room the moment she entered the office and her eyes lit up.
Ye Yuwei did not miss the way Chen Mei looked at Gu Juexi. That man did attract girls everywhere.
She thought the designer looked naïve but it was obvious that she came here for Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi, on the other hand, was looking down at his phone and did not realize that someone from his own company was here.
“Miss Chen and Mr. Zhao had some dispute over the materials used, Director. So…” Juan Zi trailed off uncertainly.
Ye Yuwei put her emotions away and looked at the bunch of people who just came in. “Why is there still a dispute over materials at this stage? Shouldn’t the materials have been confirmed at the start?”
Ye Yuwei’s voice did not need to be loud to be assertive.
Gu Juexi raised his brows. He didn’t really like the dominating Ye Yuwei, but it was the dominating Ye Yuwei who could protect herself.
“We have agreed on the materials, Director Nalan, but Miss Chen told us today that the decorations are not matching. We already ordered the goods and made the payment and the goods are even being delivered. How do I tell the supplier that I wish to cancel the order now?” Mr. Zhao was getting agitated as he explained the situation to Ye Yuwei.
Chen Mei stood in front of Ye Yuwei and tried to explain to her, or rather, to Gu Juexi, from her professional point of view.
“Director Nalan, I know changes like this would make the company suffer losses but I was in one of the rooms today and noticed that one of the silver decorations actually reflected sunlight and led to negative feelings of coldness. I don’t think it would be a good experience for the guests. Director Nalan, I am just thinking for the best of the resort.”
Ye Yuwei was twirling a pen in her hand while listening to Chen Mei. She leaned back to her chair and looked at the woman standing opposite her.
Chen Wei was feeling confident at first but began to feel unsure when Ye Yuwei stared directly into her eyes.
She chose to raise this issue today because she knew that Gu Juexi was here. The truth was that not many people in the company got to see Gu Juexi, including her.
All she wanted was to give Gu Juexi a good impression so that she would have a better chance of being promoted. The position of design director had been vacant since Ling Ximei left, and anyone in the company would kill for the position.
But the way Ye Yuwei looked at her made her feel small.
“What you said makes some sense, but did the sun only rise today? Why was this not noticed earlier?” Ye Yuwei asked sternly. “If I am not wrong, Miss Chen, didn’t I confirm the design with you a few times before the renovations started? Now that I have spent money on the renovations, you are telling me that the decorations are not usable? Who should pay for the losses of tens of thousands then? You?”
Chen Mei’s face turned pale at Ye Yuwei’s words.
“Director Nalan, I only suggested this to improve the renovations, it is for the best of the hotel,” Chen Mei said meekly while stealing glances at Gu Juexi who was still playing with his phone, no intention of getting involved in their discussion whatsoever.
Ye Yuwei glanced at the laid-back Gu Juexi and decided that maybe she should give this girl a little help.
