She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 321 Return to Glory

The autumn sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft golden glow on Su Maiqi's desk.

The day after the 100-day celebration, Su Maiqi officially returned to work at the company.

Having been away from the workplace for nearly half a year, standing in front of the Chenxing Building, she felt a strange sense of nervousness.

The morning breeze ruffled her hair, and distant clouds drifted leisurely in the sky, as if welcoming her return.

Pushing open the revolving door of the Chenxing Building, a familiar atmosphere greets you in the lobby.

The receptionist's eyes lit up when she saw her: "Ms. Su, welcome back!"

Su Maiqi smiled and nodded in greeting, but a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Yes, she's back, back to the place that holds her creativity and dreams.

As Su Maiqi rode the elevator upstairs, her heart raced slightly. The feeling was both strange and familiar.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Gu Tingyu: "Everything went smoothly?"

Those three simple words warmed her heart.

"Great, just arrived. How's Chengze?" she replied quickly.

"She's already asleep, don't worry. Focus on your work."

When the elevator reached its destination floor, Su Maiqi put away her phone, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the elevator.

The corridor in the design department remained quiet and bright, and the "Eastern Dawn" series of posters hanging on the wall made her stop and look.

That was her last collection before she got pregnant, and it has now become one of Chenxing's signature products, selling well not only in China but also in Spain, where it enjoys high sales and a good reputation.

Mario and Perona have been eager to capitalize on their success and launch a second series, which is one of the key tasks for her return.

During her time resting at home after giving birth, Su Maiqi often flipped through fashion magazines to brainstorm ideas and tried drawing many line sketches, but she always felt that she was missing that "moment of inspiration"—

That feeling of sudden shock, of certainty that "this is it."

The old saying, "Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years," lingered in her mind.

Is there really scientific evidence? She can no longer feel the endless stream of creative inspiration she used to have. The talent that used to be able to easily conceive an entire series seems to have been lost along with postpartum hormones.

This is one of the reasons why she is happy to return to the workplace.

She needs to rediscover the atmosphere and rhythm of the workplace; perhaps this will awaken her dormant inspiration.

Turning the corner of the corridor, Su Maiqi arrived at her office door and gently pushed it open.

The next second, she froze on the spot.

The sight before her left her momentarily speechless—was this still her office?

The spacious room was carefully arranged, with a large bouquet of fresh peonies on the table. They were her favorite pink variety, vibrant and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance in the morning light.

The wall displays physical pieces from several of her previous classic series, each placed in an exquisite display case, with spotlights on the side making them shine.

Several of her favorite succulents were on the windowsill, still growing well, clearly being carefully cared for by someone.

Her desk was spotless, and all her usual design tools were there. Even her favorite limited-edition fountain pen lay quietly in its holder, as if waiting for its owner's return.

On one side of the office area, there was a small corner she had never seen before—

There was a photo wall there, covered with pictures of little Gu Chengze, capturing every precious moment from birth to 100 days old.

Next to the photo wall is a small, elegant sofa and coffee table, which looks like a rest area prepared for her.

Su Maiqi's eyes welled up with tears; she hadn't expected to receive such a thoughtful welcome on her first day back.

Before she could even react, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Amy, holding a beautiful cake, led a group of colleagues in, and everyone sang a welcome song together.

"Welcome home, Mr. Su!" Amy said with a smile, placing the cake on the coffee table. "We've missed you so much!"

The cake was decorated with the words "Wele Back, Queen" written in buttercream and adorned with delicate frosting jewel patterns, clearly indicating that it was custom-made.

"This...this is such a wonderful surprise," Su Maiqi said, moved. "Thank you everyone."

"It was all organized by Amy," said Xiao Wang from the marketing department with a smile. "She said she definitely wanted to give you a surprise today."

Amy waved her hand sheepishly: "Actually, the office layout was Mr. Gu's idea; he came specifically to give guidance the day before yesterday. He also picked out those photos."

Su Maiqi felt a warmth in her heart. It turned out that Gu Tingyu had not mentioned this matter at all, but had arranged everything behind the scenes.

"Come on, Ms. Su, make a wish." Amy pushed the cake in front of her.

Looking at the cake in front of her and the familiar and friendly faces around her, Su Maiqi felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

She closed her eyes, made a wish in her heart, and then gently blew out the candle.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and then began to share the cake, filling the office with laughter and joy.

"Mr. Su, these are the recent market reports and sales data; I've compiled them all."

Amy handed her a folder; "The 'Dawn of the East' series has been very well received in Spain, and Mr. Mario has already called to inquire about the progress of the second collaborative series."

Su Maiqi took the document and looked through the data and charts inside.

Chenxing's development momentum is indeed very good. Not only has the Oriental Dawn series successfully entered the international market, but the sales of other series in China are also rising steadily.

All of this proves the team's hard work over the past few months.

"Thank you all for your continued hard work," Su Maiqi said sincerely, looking around. "The company's achievements today are the result of everyone's collective efforts."

Xiao Li from the marketing department excitedly said, "President Su, we're all waiting for you to lead us to another great success! Oriental Dawn is so popular; our social media followers have more than doubled."

"Yes," Assistant Zhang from the design department said enthusiastically, "Many young designers now regard your work as a model to learn from. We've recently received quite a few excellent resumes. Everyone wants to come to Chenxing to learn from you."

Listening to her colleagues' sharing, Su Maiqi felt the team's energy and expectations.

These familiar faces and these sincere words quietly ignited the creative spark deep within her heart.

Yes, this is her stage, her career, her dream.

Those inspirations that linger while flipping through magazines at home may simply be waiting for her to return to this creative and passionate environment.

After seeing my colleagues off, the office returned to silence.

Su Maiqi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city view.

The sunlight shone on her face, warm and bright, just like how she felt at that moment.

She returned to her desk, turned on her computer, and began reviewing the company's project progress and market feedback over the past few months.

The data and charts seemed to be telling her stories of success, and behind each design was the team's hard work and wisdom.

Gradually, she felt a long-lost sense of excitement—that familiar feeling of creativity about to burst forth was quietly reviving within her.

She took out her design notebook, turned to a new blank page, and began to sketch out a completely new concept.

The pen tip glided smoothly across the paper, the lines gradually connecting and taking shape, and a vague idea began to become clear in her mind.

She thought of the Spanish sunshine, the Eastern moonlight, the cross-cultural artistic collisions, and the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity...

Suddenly, her pen stopped on the paper.

An inspiration, like lightning, cleaved through the fog of her thoughts—

"Moonlight and Flame" is a dialogue about passion and tranquility, power and elegance, and a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics in jewelry art.

She quickly turned to a new page and began to elaborate on the concept in more detail, every stroke filled with passion and precision.

That long-lost feeling is back—inspiration flows like a spring, creativity flows from my fingertips, and everything is so natural.
