After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

Qin Song was happy to take on the job, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Because this couple's identities are quite unusual.

—Yes, their surname is Xie, the Xie of Xie's Technology. The Xie who has consistently topped the Yuncheng wealth rankings for twenty years, always ahead of the Qin family, and second only to the Lu Group.

Looking at the WeChat message Duan Jialu had sent a few minutes ago on his phone, Qin Song's brows furrowed in worry.

She typed and deleted repeatedly in the chat box before finally sending a single sentence.

—Xie's Technology asked me to design jewelry? What kind of inexplicable little thing am I? I feel like my ancestors were burning incense for me in the afterlife if I could even get a commission from "Legend of Kings".

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Duan Jialu laughed loudly on the other end of the phone.

Qin Song turned off his phone and closed his eyes, his head throbbing. Humans are truly strange creatures; they feel anxious when they can't get big orders, but even more anxious when they receive an incredibly huge one.

The only difference is that one is anxious about not making enough money, while the other is anxious about not being able to shoulder great responsibilities.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

From the moment she got into the car, Ye Ci noticed that Qin Song's mood was off. Now, seeing her put down her phone and start sighing with her eyes closed, Ye Ci was a little worried that something might have happened to her at work.

She's in her late pregnancy now, and will be giving birth in about two months. Many companies are reluctant to keep employees like her who are close to delivery. Seeing her anxious expression, Ye Ci naturally guessed that the company had found a way to fire her because of her impending pregnancy.

"Have you run into any trouble at work?" he asked immediately afterward.

"Huh?" Qin Song was stunned by the question and it took him several seconds to react.

"Ah..." She nodded, then told a few more little lies, "It's not that troublesome, it's just that things are a bit difficult to handle. I'm trying to calm myself down and prepare to deal with it."

"I see..." Ye Ci narrowed his eyes, thinking that he was right after all. Qin Song was indeed fired by the company because of her impending childbirth.

This is a common dilemma faced by women in the workplace. Although morality and law do not allow any company to do this, it is still difficult for a weak individual to resist capital.

Having navigated the corporate world for over a decade, Ye Ci was no stranger to such phenomena. But when it happened to his best friend's wife, he couldn't help but feel sorrow.

"Sister-in-law, it's alright." Given his current situation, he couldn't help Qin Song at all, so he could only offer a few feeble words of comfort, "Anyway, you're about to give birth soon, so leaving now is like giving yourself a break."

"...Huh?" Qin Song didn't understand what he was saying.

“Sigh…” Ye Ci sighed with a solemn expression and continued, “Because of Brother Fu’s injury, our game progress has slowed down temporarily, but the money Brother Fu earned recently is enough for you to have a baby.”

"Give birth?" Qin Song was more and more confused as he listened to him. "I don't need to pay any more money to give birth. Your brother Fu paid the full amount at the hospital when I first got pregnant."

"You've paid enough?!" Ye Ci's eyes widened in surprise, then she suddenly smiled happily. "If you've paid enough, then you don't need to worry anymore, sister-in-law. Just go home and rest well while waiting for the delivery. You don't need to do anything, you don't need to worry about anything!"

"...Huh?" Qin Song's brows furrowed into a knot, completely bewildered. "I'm perfectly fine, why do I have to go back to rest and prepare for having a baby?"

Ye Ci: "Of course you need to go back and rest to prepare for having a baby! In your current condition, no company will hire you!"

Qin Song: "..."

"Buzz-"

Qin Song was confused by Ye Ci's rambling words when Duan Jialu's WeChat message popped up at just the right moment.

Qin Song snapped out of his daze, reached for his phone which was lying on his lap, and looked at the new message Duan Jialu had sent.

"Teacher Qin, don't be nervous. Mr. and Mrs. Xie are both very easy to talk to."

No, it's impossible not to be nervous... Qin Song shook his head at his phone and typed a reply with trembling fingers.

—I can't do it, I'm nervous.

Duan Jialu replied instantly.

—Teacher Qin, you really don't need to be nervous. Mr. Xie and his whole family love your design, especially Mr. Xie's daughter-in-law! As soon as she saw the camellia design you drew for me, she immediately decided to meet you.

Qin Song took a deep breath.

How did they come across that custom design drawing?

Duan Jialu: Oh, I forgot to explain. Mr. Xie's daughter-in-law is my best friend from high school. Last week, I was chatting with her and casually mentioned that my wedding jewelry had been sorted out. She asked me to show her my jewelry, so I sent her your design drawings.

"Huh?" Qin Song opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

—Is it really that simple?

Duan Jialu: It's that simple. Although the Xie family is very wealthy, they aren't picky. They only care about what they like when ordering things; they don't care about fame or categorize anything or anyone as valuable or worthless. So, Teacher Qin, you really, really don't need to be nervous!

Qin Song: ...Okay.

She was ruined.

Anyway, the car was almost at Jiang Mian's studio, so no matter how nervous she was, she had to face it immediately.

"Sister-in-law, we've arrived."

Three minutes later, the black Mercedes stopped in front of the studio.

Qin Song had just unbuckled her seatbelt and gotten out of the car when she saw Jiang Mian and Duan Jialu coming out of the studio to pick her up.

"Teacher Qin!" Duan Jialu greeted Qin Song excitedly even before she got close.

"Teacher Qin?" Ye Ci, inside the Mercedes, was startled by the exclamation. He looked up in astonishment at Qin Song, who was slowly walking up the steps, and muttered to himself incredulously, "Now even Taobao customer service representatives can be called 'teacher'?"

"Teacher Qin." Duan Jialu jogged over to Qin Song's side, affectionately took Qin Song's arm, and carefully helped her walk inside. "Mr. and Mrs. Xie are already waiting inside. Let's just go in."

"Huh?" Qin Song's heart pounded with nervousness. She quickly pulled out a mask she had prepared earlier from her bag and hurriedly tried to put it on.

"Don't wear it anymore." Jiang Mian snatched the mask away from her, saying with a wry smile, "People already know who you are, it's no use wearing it."

"Huh?!!" Qin Song became even more nervous.

"Brother Fu, Brother Fu."

As soon as Qin Song entered the studio, Ye Ci immediately took out his phone from his suit pocket and sent a WeChat voice message to Pei Xingzhi.

"My sister-in-law is doing quite well outside. Although she's just a Taobao customer service representative, people in the company already call her 'teacher'."

Pei Xingzhi: Hmm?

Ye Ci: "Not only that, but as soon as she got out of the car and before she even entered the company gate, two people came to the office to pick her up. She's got quite the style!"

Pei Xingzhi: Hmm? ? ? ?
