As soon as I finished speaking, I watched as the smile on Li Ningsu's face crumbled instantly, like sand blown away by the wind.

I raised my eyebrows, and Jiang Yuwei frowned as well. "Didn't you say before that Ye Qiu joined your company? I came here specifically to see him today, but where is he?"

Jiang Yuwei actually came to see me on purpose, what's going on here?

Actually, I share the same name as Ye Qiu, and they've never associated me with that concept artist Ye Qiu. They probably think I'm just an ordinary person with no real talent.

But then again, I was a little surprised. For some reason, the image of my work displayed in her office popped into my mind. Did she want to get to know Ye Qiu?

Then I thought about it again and realized something was wrong, so I glared at Li Ningsu again.

Didn't we agree not to reveal my true identity? Why did this guy betray me again?!

Li Ningsu felt my glare and quickly explained, "Yes, I did tell you the day Ye Qiu joined the company, but you didn't come and went to do other things. Now Ye Qiu... Ye Qiu has already resigned, and I can't contact him."

The day I joined the company? Wasn't it the time when Li Ningsu messed up the game expo and I had to save the day?

Later, Li Ningsu treated Meng Ziyin and me to a meal. When I was about to go to the hospital to see my uncle, I overheard her talking to someone on the phone about Ye Qiu.

So the person on the other end of the phone really was Jiang Yuwei?!

I looked surprised and thought back to what happened that day. I remembered that not long after I went to the hospital, Jiang Yuwei came. As a result, my uncle mistook her for a mistress and had a big fight with me.

Suddenly, I seemed to understand something and looked at Jiang Yuwei in surprise.

Jiang Yuwei probably wanted to get to know Ye Qiu, but instead of meeting Ye Qiu, she went to the hospital to find me?

How could that be? Based on my understanding of Jiang Yuwei, I could never be more important than anything she cares about...

"You resigned?" Jiang Yuwei had no idea what I was thinking. Her beautiful brows furrowed. "Why?"

Li Ningsu glanced at me and said, "I don't know the specific reason, and I didn't ask any further."

“You’re going abroad tomorrow, right? If you need an illustrator, your brother-in-law is a good option. Although he’s just an illustrator…assistant, he’s quite talented and knows a thing or two. He can definitely help.”

Going abroad?

I snapped out of my jumbled thoughts and looked at Jiang Yuwei. The documents and materials I had reviewed countless times in my past life suddenly flooded back to me like a torrent, clear as a picture in my mind.

I remember clearly that as soon as Chen Yiran went abroad, Jiang Yuwei followed him. They went through a lot there, and it was during that time that Jiang Yuwei realized that the person she truly loved was Chen Yiran. So after returning to China, she began to interfere in Chen Yiran's affairs, buying him houses and cars, using all sorts of methods.

It seems the turning point in the fate of the male and female protagonists is finally approaching.

Jiang Yuwei looked down at me, a look of disgust on her face.

"Just make do with it."

Her gaze and tone stung me again. Didn't she look down on me? Then I won't go. She can forget about me working for her.

I crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm not going anywhere but here."

Jiang Yuwei narrowed her eyes and said in a flat tone, "You still owe me 500,000 yuan. If you're not going, pay me back now."

I replied with a forced smile, "We're not divorced yet. That money is marital property. I'm not returning it. Go ahead and sue me if you dare."

Jiang Yuwei said coldly, "Li Ningsu, fire him."

I'm about to explode.

I finally couldn't hold back anymore and glared at her fiercely. "Jiang Yuwei, are you sick in the head? You're looking down on me but you still have to drag me into it. There are so many concept artists in the company. You're only leaving the country tomorrow. If the people here don't want you, can't you just find another concept artist?"

Jiang Yuwei stared at me, a malicious smile playing on her lips.

"I want you."

It's infuriating how despicable capitalists are. If I had any money in my pocket, I would have left long ago.

If you push me any further, I'll show Jiang Yuwei what happens when you chase after a man while bringing his wife along!

I gritted my teeth, looked at Li Ningsu, my handsome face full of intimidation, and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Li Ningsu started coughing again, her deep, affectionate eyes looking at me. "Brother-in-law, I have close ties with Sister Jiang's company; she owns shares in it. She's going abroad to discuss collaborations and needs a knowledgeable concept artist. It's only right and proper for me to find her a suitable candidate when she comes to our company to borrow someone."

"Now that Ye Qiu has 'resigned,' she doesn't think anyone else is good enough for her. Brother-in-law, could you please do me a favor and go with her?"

I knew that Li Ningsu and Jiang Yuwei had a good relationship and their companies were closely linked, but I never expected that this spoiled brat would listen to Jiang Yuwei so much and put her first in everything.

I used to think she wasn't afraid of Jiang Yuwei at all, since she always seemed to gloat over her misfortunes.

I had a sullen face, and I almost crushed the pen in my hand. "I haven't finished my work yet, I don't want to go."

Li Ningsu quickly leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Brother-in-law, the plan you gave me yesterday was pretty good. Let Meng Ziyin handle the rest; she can take care of the follow-up."

"I'll approve paid leave for this business trip. Think about how rich Sister Jiang is. You can enjoy yourself while you're abroad. Buy luxury goods and eat all the fancy meals you want. It's really not worth it to mistreat yourself just to spite her, right?"

"Don't try to bribe me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be swayed by money?" I glared at her, then changed the subject, "Are you sure about paid leave?"

My salary is very high, my daily wage is four figures.

The longer I travel for work, the more I earn!

Li Ningsu's pretty face was full of smiles. "Of course I'm sure."

Upon hearing this, I immediately beamed and looked at Jiang Yuwei, "President Jiang, what time is our flight tomorrow? Have you booked the tickets? Do you need any help?"

I won't do anything that turns down money, and I won't easily let go of a good deal like a paid trip with meals and accommodation included.

Not only will I not let it go, but I also want to take this opportunity to collect the evidence of infidelity I need, so that when I return from my business trip, I can use it to threaten Jiang Yuwei into divorcing me.

Jiang Yuwei: "..."

She looked at me with a hint of mockery in her eyes and said in a low voice, "Jiang Zhiyi, you love money so much, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

I responded with a smile, my tone carrying a hint of defiance, "President Jiang, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later if you keep talking so bluntly."

Li Ningsu suddenly couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Jiang, you know what, I'm growing to love my brother-in-law's mouth more and more. Every word he says hits the nail on the head... uh, no, I mean..."

Li Ningsu's voice grew softer and softer, and finally, under Jiang Yuwei's cold gaze, she silently made a zipper gesture and shut her mouth.

Jiang Yuwei's delicate face remained expressionless. "Give me Ye Qiu's phone number. I want to contact him personally."

Li Ningsu's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Okay, I'll have the HR department check for you later."

Jiang Yuwei responded with a faint "yes".

I was genuinely curious, my bright eyes fixed on Jiang Yuwei. "Why are you so determined to find him? Is he really that important to you?"
