That day, Su Maiqi got off work very late and was the last to leave the company.

She personally compiled today's meeting minutes, outlining the key points of the work to be done next.

The key points and timelines for the "customized copywriting" plan for the first batch of clients were clearly defined, with all responsibilities assigned to specific individuals and tracked regularly.

These recent actions are enough to put Chenxing in the spotlight.

This presents both an opportunity and a challenge.

If they had seized the opportunity and maintained their position, Chenxing's status in the jewelry industry would have risen to a new level; Su Maiqi's personal career, on the other hand, would have plummeted several notches.

However, if something goes wrong, it will be magnified many times over, potentially bringing disastrous consequences to the company; she, as the president's wife, will also become a laughing stock.

After all, at this very moment, hundreds of millions of eyes are focused on all kinds of news and even rumors online, all on Chenxing.

We must not be careless.

There's also the matter of celebrities customizing "heart lock keys," and all departments need to further emphasize confidentiality.

Of course, more importantly, is the current war of public opinion.

Su Maiqi browsed the latest news online and, sure enough, after MISS Y left the stage, the trending search ranking immediately soared to number one.

This is the first time in history that the party whose work was plagiarized has taken the initiative to clarify the situation in a plagiarism case.

Moreover, she is mysterious, talented, and always keeps a low profile, MISS Y.

To top it all off, here's an even bigger bombshell: the design manager and chief designer at Chenxing is actually the company president's wife!

One explosive moment, then another, and so on—almost everyone can find their own enjoyment in it.

Some people are talking about cutthroat competition.

Some people are talking about romance novels.

Some say that only outstanding people can be friends.

Some people say, "So what if you're as innocent as Miss Y? The other party is the CEO's wife, and suddenly everything changes!"

But nobody believes Chenxing's plagiarism anymore!

When Miss Y personally stepped forward and announced her identity as the president's wife, it wasn't without skepticism.

Some voices have mocked MISS Y for being controlled by capital, pandering to popular tastes, and worshipping profit; below is a uniform set of evidence, that ridiculous evidence of plagiarism, a crown design drawing with an "∞" symbol.

Even someone who knows nothing about design can see that this has absolutely nothing to do with plagiarism.

As a result, those who stirred up trouble and those malicious remarks all collapsed on their own.

Su Maiqi sent a message to the general manager, suggesting that the marketing department should also arrange their own online army to set the tone, focusing on "malicious competition," and first create the atmosphere.

Once the source of the information is traced, precise action can be taken to strike with full force, leaving the opponent powerless to retaliate, or even plunging them into an abyss.

Su Maiqi would never be merciful; after all, being too kind to the enemy is being ruthless to oneself.

Especially a competitor with such no bottom line and unscrupulous means, is a black sheep in the market.

The general manager quickly replied: "Okay, Mrs. President, I'll arrange it right away."

The general manager's attitude was absolutely right. After all, the president's wife was exposed today, and her words meant the chairman and president's opinion, which had to be taken seriously.

Su Maiqi was also a bit speechless. As the president's wife, her power and status in the company were definitely different, but she didn't want to use her special position as "president's wife" to wreak havoc in the workplace.

The announcement of the "President's wife" this time is more about public reputation, impact, and the need for future cooperation.

It's not about gaining any status or preferential treatment within the company.

After thinking for a moment, she replied to the general manager, saying, "Mr. Gu and I originally didn't plan to announce our marriage. However, the company is facing a crisis, so we have no choice but to go public. It's just a matter of crisis management."

"In terms of work, I am your subordinate; our work arrangements will proceed as usual; you don't need to worry too much. Today's incident was sudden and urgent, and I wouldn't report to General Manager Gu directly for routine work."

After a long pause, the other end replied with two words: "Okay."

Perhaps they really didn't know what to call her, so they simply stopped using the title, since they used to just call her "Xiao Su".

Su Maiqi sighed softly, put down her phone, packed her things, and prepared to leave the company.

She stood in her empty office on the 19th floor, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city at 10 p.m., still bustling with traffic.

Strings of car lights, like flowing pearls, meander through the veins of the city.

The distant neon lights and car headlights reflected each other, adding a touch of mystery and dreaminess to the city's night sky.

It was like a giant backdrop, a stage; at that moment, Su Maiqi experienced what it meant for life to be like a play.

She remembers having strange ideas pop into her head when she was very young.

For example, when I wake up from a dream, I wonder, which one is the real me? Could it be that the me I am now is also someone else's dream?

Later, when she read the story of "Zhuangzi's Dream of a Butterfly," she couldn't help but think narcissistically: So when I was so young, I was already thinking about the same questions as great people.

Could I also be a gifted person, and perhaps achieve something great in the future?

At this moment, Su Maiqi stood in this empty office, looking at the bustling city below, feeling quite dazed.

The events of today are like a condensed version of several months in someone else's life, full of ups and downs.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that even Su Maiqi felt she couldn't process it all.

When something happens, the instinct is to solve the problem first and think of various ways to move things forward.

When things finally settled down, many hidden emotions surfaced.

Shock, panic, and lingering fear – if things aren't handled properly, the consequences could snowball, causing immeasurable losses.

The interactions with Lin Jinyu and Miss Y were filled with more nervousness, unease, and even some shame.

She knew that what she asked Miss Y to do actually went against Miss Y's philosophy of life, but she also took advantage of Lin Jinyu's feelings for Gu Tingyu, as well as the feelings between Lin Jinyu and Miss Y.

She suddenly understood what it meant to be "your position determines your perspective." In her position, she was the manager of Chenxing's design department and the person in charge of the new product launch plan. She had to be responsible to the company first and foremost.

Isn't this also part of professional ethics?

Often, choosing A or B isn't about being smart enough to find the optimal solution; it can easily lead to a dilemma where either choice results in regret or loss.

Of course, from another perspective, every choice will have its benefits or gains.

The final choice is nothing more than a consideration after weighing the pros and cons.

Su Maiqi made her choice, and she knew that she owed Miss Y a huge favor this time.

Although she might have done it more out of respect for Lin Jinyu, she would remember this favor and, given the opportunity, would be willing to repay it many times over to her idol.

It's not so much about doing something for the other person, but more about putting my own mind at ease.
