Jiang Zhi was also working overtime.

He needs to coordinate with Dongyang Winery and also review the data.

He also needs to handle matters related to the Dongyang Group.

To make it easier to see Qiao Chu and be closer to her, Jiang Zhi still works at JOE.

Recently, rumors have circulated that Jiang Chi is about to retire and Jiang Zhi will take full control of Dongyang Group.

However, no one responded directly to the media.

Dongyang Group has not issued any announcement.

...

It was 10 p.m. when Jiang Zhi called Qiao Chu.

"Honey, are you off work yet?"

"Honey, it's not ready yet. I might not be able to leave until 11 o'clock."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"Wait a minute, let's go get some late-night snacks."

"good!"

"I'll get back to work now, see you later. Honey, mwah!"

...

After reviewing the last document, Jiang Zhi left the office.

Apart from the design department, where many staff members were working overtime, all other departments were quiet.

Jiang Zhi went to Qiao Chu's exclusive showroom.

There, many model templates have already been erected.

These clothes were all designed by Qiao Chu.

To prevent leaks and plagiarism, Qiao Chu was very cautious. To date, only she and Jiang Zhi have seen her design works.

She had to make Joe a star, so she did a lot of work to keep it a secret.

...

Jiang Zhi did not disturb Qiao Chu, who was making clothes.

He carefully examined each of Qiao Chu's works with an appreciative eye.

She really impressed him.

She is an outstanding fashion designer.

She had always kept it very well hidden!

Jiang Zhi firmly believes that Qiao Chu will definitely become popular after Fashion Week.

She possesses extraordinary creativity and inspiration, captivating audiences even more than Kevin's work, and has an exceptionally keen sense of fashion.

This woman is very clever and unassuming!

...

Having completed today's plan, Qiao Chu stretched.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhi hugged her from behind.

"Honey, even though you're busy, you still need to take care of yourself and not overwork yourself."

Qiao Chu turned around, her tender, watery eyes fixed on Jiang Zhi.

"With my husband's care, I won't let myself get too tired. I won't work overtime tomorrow night."

"Let's go get some late-night snacks."

"I'd like to eat barbecue, is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Qiao Chu smiled sweetly.

******

Qiao Nuan also worked overtime.

She left Joe quite late as well.

Tonight, Wang Xiao invited her to have a late-night snack. They agreed to meet at a grilled fish restaurant, and Qiao Nuan rushed over.

Before the grilled fish was served, Qiao Nuan hurriedly finished the last design draft.

After finishing, she casually put the design draft into a file bag.

Before Wang Xiao could even turn off the laptop, the cola sprayed out as he unscrewed the bottle, spraying all over Qiao Nuan.

Wang Xiao immediately apologized and even handed Qiao Nuan a tissue.

Her hands were sticky, her clothes were dirty, and there was cola on Qiao Nuan's face.

She took the tissue from Wang Xiao and wiped the cola off her face.

"It's okay, I'll go wash up. Can you keep an eye on my laptop for me?"

"Okay! I'm so sorry!"

"You didn't do it on purpose, why are you being so polite?!"

Wang Xiao's sharp eyes were fixed on Qiao Nuan's retreating figure.

Once she determined that Qiao Nuan had gone in the direction of the restroom, she immediately checked Qiao Nuan's notebook.

Qiao Nuan's laptop screensaver was password protected. Wang Xiao remembered that Qiao Nuan had said that she was afraid she would forget, so she set her phone password to her birthday. Therefore, Wang Xiao entered Qiao Nuan's birthday.

The password is correct. Immediately, the screensaver password page redirects, returning to the normal page.

After looking around cautiously, Wang Xiao downloaded the design draft images that Qiao Nuan had saved to her own USB drive.

Wang Xiao also took photos of the design drafts in the file folder, sent them out immediately, and then deleted them right away.

Having done all this, Wang Xiao calmly returned to her seat opposite him.

If the laptop is left unattended, the screen will automatically switch to the screensaver password page after 10 seconds.

...

In fact, Wang Xiao had arrived at the grilled fish restaurant long ago and had already ordered food.

She deliberately made the boss serve the grilled fish 10 minutes late.

She deliberately shook the bottle of cola, waiting for Qiao Nuan to bring in her laptop before unscrewing it, so that the cola would spray all over her.

She also knew that Qiao Nuan had been working overtime a lot lately, so she habitually took pictures of the design drafts and saved them to her notebook.

She also heard from Qiao Nuan that she must finish the manuscript tonight.

Therefore, Wang Xiao had planned to treat Qiao Nuan to grilled fish tonight.

They even made up a story that she won a prize, so that Qiao Nuan would be happy for her and consider it a celebration.

Having succeeded, Qiao Nuan didn't notice that Wang Xiao's smile was rather sinister.

Qiao Nuan is so lucky, she should share some of her luck with her.

Even when she suffered setbacks, she had her capable older sister to protect her, and Qiao Nuan remained unharmed.

Therefore, these calculations and setbacks are nothing.

Perhaps Qiao Nuan only saw it as a minor incident.

However, for Wang Xiao's own life, it was a very different story.

This is her chance to climb up, reach the top, and shine.

...

In the restroom, Qiao Nuan washed her hands and was asked for directions by a woman.

This woman is very long-winded and quite stupid. Qiao Nuan explained it to her many times, but she still didn't understand.

Later, Qiao Nuan borrowed a pen from the cashier and asked the owner for a piece of paper. She wrote down the route and even drew it out, and only then did the woman understand.

After thanking her, the woman hurriedly left the grilled fish restaurant.

...

Qiao Nuan is back, and the grilled fish is ready to eat.
