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

Ji Nianci composed herself and said, "Director Deng, I am just a lowly intern, while Sister Qiuyue is a well-known fashion designer in the industry. How could I possibly share my humble opinions with her? You flatter me too much."

Her words seemed to show her humility, but they clearly rejected Deng Jiagui's request, leaving him with no room for rebuttal.

Although she was at a disadvantage in words, she remained composed and dignified.

Deng Jiagui's expression darkened.

After saying this, Ji Nianci stood up. She didn't want to stay in this office for another second. Every second she remained, her disgust grew. The air seemed to be filled with a nauseating odor, making it unbearable for her.

She stood up and said to the man opposite her, "Director Deng, I have work to do, so I'll be leaving now."

As Deng Jiagui watched her departing figure, a hint of fierceness and a touch of amusement flickered in his murky eyes.

No wonder Zhao Qiuyue disliked this woman so much; she was indeed quite stubborn. However… the woman’s tenacity aroused a certain inexplicable interest and attention deep within him.

After all, no one can compare to that face...

He thought silently in his heart.

After saying that, Ji Nianci left without looking back. As she turned her back to Deng Jiagui, she couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

She knew that these things were very common in the workplace.

However, just because something is common doesn't mean it's right, nor does it mean she can accept it.

There was just one thing she didn't understand: why her?

Zhao Qiuyue's ability to join the Shen Group and become the head of the design department is undoubtedly impressive. She is also quite well-known in the industry, having created several standout works.

I was just a fledgling designer who, apart from winning a few awards while in school, had made no name for myself in the industry.

Moreover, apart from that newly designed dress, I haven't submitted any other artwork to the company so far.

So why did Deng Jiagui ask him to provide ideas to Zhao Qiuyue?

Were the things Deng Jiagui just said to her implied by Zhao Qiuyue, or were they his own ideas?

Could it be that all of Zhao Qiuyue's works are...?

An absurd idea gradually surfaced in Cijin's mind, but she immediately rejected it.

Although Zhao Qiuyue's character is questionable, she is capable.

I have seen Ci’s drawings, and some of the things she designed are indeed very educational.

However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it can take root and sprout at the slightest disturbance.

Before Ji Nianci even reached her seat, she saw Zhao Qiuyue standing in front of her computer, leaning over with her hand on the mouse, seemingly doing something.

"Sister Qiuyue, what are you doing?"

She panicked and quickly walked over, only to see Zhao Qiuyue looking at his design draft, zooming in on the details with the mouse.

"What are you yelling about here?" Zhao Qiuyue looked up, gave her a disapproving glare, and continued:

“I’m here to help you review the manuscript. You should be grateful for the guidance you’re receiving. I don’t know what you’re yelling about. Besides, you’re someone I’m mentoring, and your manuscript is meant for my review. Now that you’ve finished it, you’re not sending it to me. I have to come and look at it myself. I really don’t know what you’re up to.”

Before she could say anything, Zhao Qiuyue launched into a tirade of abuse.

In fact, Zhao Qiuyue regretted her words a little afterward. The moment she saw Ji Nianci, she felt a surge of anger coursing through her body, and in a moment of emotional outburst, she spoke without thinking. But as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately thought of the scene she had witnessed in the underground parking lot that day.

She is, after all, Mr. Shen's person. What if she complains to Mr. Shen later...

Zhao Qiuyue felt a little flustered, but quickly calmed down. After all, President Shen was married, and she was just a nobody. Perhaps President Shen would get tired of her after a few days. How could someone so insignificant dare to ask anything more of President Shen?

"I didn't show you the manuscript because there are still some details in it that haven't been perfected."

Ji Nianci's voice sounded somewhat tired. She had just finished dealing with that disgusting Deng Jiagui and really didn't have the energy to argue with Zhao Qiuyue.

"Heh, that just means you're inefficient at work," Zhao Qiuyue said arrogantly, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Well, Sister Qiuyue, now that you've read it, could you please tell me what's wrong with my manuscript?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiuyue was somewhat stunned, as she hadn't been paying attention to this at all.

"There are so many questions, and my time is precious. Do you expect me to explain them all to you? Don't you even understand such a simple principle? Think about it yourself."

She quickly left after uttering a few words.

In memory of Ci: "..."

Sometimes she really wanted to punch her.

……

Inside the CEO's office, Shen Ceyan stared at the documents in his hand, his furrowed brows remaining furrowed for a long time.

"These are all things Zhao Qiuyue did to the Madam?"

Assistant Lin stood aside and said hesitantly, "Yes, but it might be more than that, since I can't stay in the design department all the time."

These are things I've observed discreetly over time. When I went there just now, I saw Madam being berated by Zhao Qiuyue. She said Zhao Qiuyue scolded Madam for not letting her see the finished draft, and that Madam should be grateful for her guidance.

Shen Ceyan slammed the document in his hand onto the table, his brows furrowed with ruthlessness.

"Who does she think she is, to talk to Niannian like that?"

Assistant Lin's body trembled involuntarily. He had hardly seen his boss so angry in a long time, to the point that he had almost forgotten what kind of person his boss was.

Yes, that's the feeling, that feeling of trepidation, it's all too familiar.

……

She didn't want him to interfere in her work, and he respected that.

But that doesn't mean he'll just stand by and watch his girl get bullied by others.

"Lin Cheng, you immediately investigate all the works that Zhao Qiuyue has participated in designing over the past year. Take down all the works that have already been approved and put on sale. None of her design drafts will be approved."

Shen Ceyan's eyes were so gloomy that they sent chills down one's spine.

"Good boss."

Lin Cheng knew that his boss was truly furious. He couldn't control his emotions whenever it involved his wife.
