After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Shen Ceyan turned his head away somewhat unnaturally.

"There's no need to be so polite between husband and wife."

Looking at him, Ji Nianci suddenly felt like teasing him.

……

After the two returned home, Ji Nianci went straight to the study.

After returning from her visit to the museum, she felt as if her meridians had been opened, and her mind was full of inspiration, which she couldn't wait to put on paper immediately.

Shen Ceyan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her impatient figure.

His daughter is quite cute.

After returning to her study, Ci Ji first turned on her computer to look up some information and learn about the historical background before she began to create.

For several days in a row, she was completely absorbed in it.

She wore a fishtail strapless gown inspired by Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jars, featuring a modern Chinese design. While blue and white porcelain is a fairly common element, she cleverly incorporated it into the design, using large areas of blue and white porcelain throughout the dress, with a sky-blue gradient at the fishtail hem. The gown exudes a retro and elegant style, presenting a composed and glamorous feel, and showcasing a unique feminine charm.

By the time she finally finished, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

Ji Nianci sat in her office chair, admiring her completed work with satisfaction, feeling very pleased.

Actually, she herself didn't expect that she could create a work that satisfied her so much.

According to their colleagues, all these works will eventually be submitted for judging, and if they win an award, there will be a substantial prize. That's why the people in Group A are putting in their best effort and racking their brains to come up with ideas.

However, regardless of whether she wins an award or not, she is already satisfied.

Ci stretched wearily, picked up her cup, and went to the tea room.

A furtive figure approached and turned on her still-lit computer.

……

When Ji Nianci returned with a cup of coffee, Zhao Qiuyue told her that Director Deng wanted her to go to his office.

Ji Nianci exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"

She'd been working here for quite some time now, and Director Deng had never contacted her, nor would she. She was an intern under Zhao Qiuyue's supervision, so she could just talk to Zhao Qiuyue directly if anything came up. In any case, Deng Jiagui had no reason to look for her.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind, and Ji Nianci shuddered.

Could it be that I was caught eavesdropping a few days ago?

Pshaw, I wasn't eavesdropping, I overheard it by accident.

But she really didn't mean to hear it, so how can you blame her?

……

That shouldn't be the case. Ji Nianci was completely baffled. She had clearly left quickly and without making a sound. Besides, if it were really about this, Director Deng would have contacted her long ago. Why wait until now?

But if it wasn't for this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason.

She looks like a primary school student who has been suddenly called in by the homeroom teacher for a lecture and is at a loss for what to do.

……

Seeing her standing there blankly without moving, Zhao Qiuyue said impatiently, "What are you standing here for? Hurry up and go. Do I need to invite you?"

"Oh, okay." Ji Nianci finally realized what was happening and walked heavily into the office inside.

Even though she is no longer a student, she still gets nervous when she is suddenly called to the office.

When she arrived at Director Deng's office, Ji Nianci mentally prepared herself before knocking on the door and going inside.

As soon as Deng Jiagui saw her, he immediately put down his work, gave her a kind smile, and waved to her.

“Nianci, right? Come, sit down.”

Hearing this tone, Ji Nianci felt a little relieved.

It shouldn't be because of that incident.

"Director Deng, is there something you need from me?"

Deng Jiagui first exchanged pleasantries with her: "How have you been at the company lately? How are you feeling?"

"That's great, Director. The work atmosphere in our design department is excellent."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Um, a few days ago, I instructed everyone in Group A to produce a dress design sketch. You know about that, right? How's the preparation going?"

"I know, my design is almost finished." A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she mentioned it.

"I see... That's good. But Nianci, the reason I called you here is to tell you that you don't need to worry too much about the design drafts. After all, you're new here, and you definitely don't have as much experience as the seniors when it comes to independent design. If you can't come up with a design, that's fine. Your main job right now is to assist your sister Qiuyue and share some of the tasks so that she can focus on drawing the drafts..."

Ji Nianci's smile faded. What did she mean by those words?

"Director Deng, although I have focused on the design drafts during this period, I have not neglected my daily work."

"Oh, I know," Deng Jiagui said dismissively, waving his hand dismissively.

“What I mean is, for someone as new as you, the designs you produce are full of ideas but superficial and not very useful. But Qiuyue is different. She is senior and experienced. You can collaborate with her on the designs. You can share any inspirations or ideas you have with her and let her design them. She is your senior, and she knows more about design principles than you do.”

Ji Nianci suddenly froze, as if she had heard something unbelievable. She raised her head in disbelief and looked directly into his eyes.

Deng Jiagui seemed unfazed by her gaze, his voice remaining relatively flat.

"Well, that's not what I meant. I just feel that with your current abilities, having ideas and inspiration alone won't produce any good designs. It would be better to share your inspiration and ideas with Qiuyue. With her experience, the result would definitely be a great piece. In the end, the work would be a collaborative effort between the two of you. Your ideas would be better presented and seen by more people, wouldn't you say?"

At this moment, Ji Nianci's expression also calmed down. She sneered inwardly and instantly felt extreme disgust for the person in front of her.

Deng Jiagui made it sound nice, suggesting that he and Zhao Qiuyue share inspiration and ideas, and that their works be shared.

It's ridiculous. If she really tells Zhao Qiuyue her ideas, will the works she designs based on her own inspiration still be related to Zhao Qiuyue? Will they still be credited to Zhao Qiuyue?

How can it be?

Although she was new to the workforce, that didn't mean she was stupid; she understood such a simple principle.
