The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

Although Lin Jiaojiao hated Chu Mu very much and wanted to use this international competition to completely cut off Chu Mu's path to advancement, she did not want to get herself involved.

What's more, she is about to take up the position of design director of Yi's Jewelry.

This was the pinnacle of jewelry design in the country, a position everyone aspired to reach. As long as she took this position, she would be considered superior to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu only has a small jewelry studio, and it is still early for him to gain a foothold in the high-end jewelry industry.

There are still many ways to ruin Chu Mu's reputation, so there is no need to rush.

Although Lin Jiaojiao's methods weren't particularly clever, her forbearance was key. She swallowed, glared at Chu Mu and Qi Man, and left the recording studio in disgrace.

Looking at Lin Jiaojiao's leaving back, Chu Mu was surprised.

Lin Jiaojiao had the guts to take on her bet in front of so many people. She must have been confident of winning the jewelry competition. Now that she had such a good opportunity to turn the tide, how could she give up just because of Qi Man's words?

It seems that her guess was correct. What happened back then must be strange and must be related to Lin Jiaojiao.

Chu Mu's eyes were deep, and Lin Ji might be the only breakthrough point.

"Mumu, let's go." Qi Man picked up the design book on the ground and took Chu Mu's hand to leave the recording site.

Chu Mu looked at her, his eyes filled with uncontrollable heartache. After hiding from the cameras, Chu Mu couldn't help but speak, "Manman, you know everything."

Qi Man forced a twitch of her lips, her tone low, "When I was in the hospital, I overheard your conversation with Dad, and that's when I learned that you had been looking for Lin Ji's whereabouts and wanted to bring him to justice."

Qi Man took Chu Mu's hand and said, "Mumu, I can handle it. You don't have to worry about me too much in the future. If you want to find out Lin Ji's whereabouts, just do it openly. Chen Shaoting is right. Only by facing it bravely can you truly overcome it."

Qi Man took Chu Mu's hand and said, "But you have to promise me that Lin Ji will never appear in Zhucheng again."

A layer of mist rose in her eyes. Chu Mu hugged Qi Man, feeling each other's body temperature and familiar smell. She couldn't help but shed tears after all. "I promise you."

Here, as soon as the plagiarism incident broke out, the media chased Lin Jiaojiao everywhere, wanting to dig deeper into this news. But Lin Jiaojiao left the TV station and immediately returned to the hotel, locking herself in the room.

She had just returned to the hotel when Zhang Tingyu called her as if he had eyes.

Zhang Tingyu called because of this matter, and he was bound to scold her, but Lin Jiaojiao didn't dare not answer.

She took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, pretended nothing happened, and called out, "Mom, you're so late..."

"Lin Jiaojiao! Return home immediately! You've brought disgrace upon our Yi family. Stupid thing! If you have no talent, you should keep a low profile. Yet, you even dared to steal Chu Mu's mother's posthumous work to enter the competition. Do you think your plagiarism isn't obvious enough?"

Before Lin Jiaojiao could finish her words, Zhang Tingyu scolded her.

From the very first round of the competition, Zhang Tingyu suspected that Lin Jiaojiao's work was not her own. He originally thought she had simply hired a skilled person to act as a ghostwriter, but he didn't expect it to be a blatant plagiarism.

She was completely disappointed in her, "How could my son fall for a fool like you!"

"Mom, Chu Mu deliberately hurt me. She did it on purpose."

Lin Jiaojiao was still quibbling, and Zhang Tingyu was disheartened, even disappointed with Yi Fengteng. It seemed she had no choice but to agree to Chu Mu's request. "If you don't plagiarize, she'll still have you. The position of Design Director at Yi's won't be yours."
