Not to mention the limited edition designs, the entire jewelry department was created by Shang Wu herself, and every part reflects her hard work.

Not only Ji Yu, but Zhou Yanci was also certain that unless it was the end of the world or the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, Shang Wu would not abandon any crisis in the jewelry department.

"Yanci, I'm in charge of hosting the overseas team this week, have you forgotten?"

Shang Wu suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci was taken aback.

Ji Yu asked in confusion, "What overseas team?"

"Our overseas partners who came to inspect our products want to export them overseas. In that time, the jewelry department will not only be available domestically, but will also become an international brand."

Shang Wu explained unhurriedly, looking at Zhou Yanci: "Once the cooperation is reached, the entire Chengzhou's profits will increase by at least five times, and its fame will spread far and wide."

She looked at Ji Yu again and continued to paint a rosy picture: "And you, too, can become a world-class design master."

Both of them were startled at the same time, a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Shang Wu turned around and sat down at the table: "Do you want me to receive the team, or take charge of the design? You can choose which is more important."

Zhou Yanci raised her hand, her fingertips touching her brow, pondering what to do about this matter.

Seeing this, Ji Yu couldn't hold back any longer: "So, you're just going to ignore the design work?"

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t care, I just won’t design it myself.” Shang Wu looked up and raised an eyebrow at her.

Ji Yu shrugged: "You don't mean you want me to design it, do you? How is that any different from ruining the limited edition series?"

Shang Wu curled her lips in a mocking smile, thinking of her chat history with Zhou Yanci.

Ji Yu was arrogant and haughty, criticizing her work as too vulgar, but then turned around and said that limited-edition designs couldn't do without her work.

Lacking the ability but always talking big, he's finally realized his mistake.

Utterly disgusting.

Shang Wu leaned back calmly on the sofa, her demeanor elegant and her emotions stable.

She pondered for a moment and said, "There's another way: find a designer with a similar style to mine and rush to produce a limited edition."

"No way!" Ji Yu's eyes flickered, feeling guilty. "If word gets out that I had someone else design it for me, it won't just ruin my reputation, it will ruin the entire Chengzhou Group's reputation!"

Zhou Yanci frowned slightly and echoed, "Awu, I don't trust anyone but you."

"This person can be trusted."

Shang Wu tapped the screen twice and handed them a designer's resume.

"Autumn Garden?"

Zhou Yanci paused for a moment, then looked down at the designer's introduction.

A renowned designer, Freya's only closed-door disciple, who has participated in the design of five international jewelry fashion shows.

"My apprentice."

Shang Wu looked at the two men with a playful gaze: "He's loyal enough to me. If I ask, he has no reason not to help, and he won't tell anyone about it. How about it?"

Meeting her gaze, Zhou Yanci weighed the pros and cons, hesitated repeatedly, and finally nodded in agreement.

He added, "Make him sign a confidentiality agreement; one can't be too careful."

Shang Wu readily agreed and got up to go next door to make a phone call.

She only had one sentence.

"Ji Yu betrayed me, please help me."

Without the slightest hesitation, the other party replied, "Tell me, and I'll do it."

…

When she got off work, she told Zhou Yanci that Qiu Ting was willing to pay for writing.

Zhou Yanci was sitting in the car replying to messages, slightly turned to face Shang Wu.

A subconscious defensive posture.

Shang Wu glanced at his phone, remaining calm: "Yan Ci, are you even listening to me? The matter has been resolved."

"Ah? Yes, my dear Awu, you've worked hard." Zhou Yanci put down her phone, smiled, and took her hand, but seemed absent-minded.

Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "You seem preoccupied. What's wrong?"

Zhou Yanci hesitated for two seconds, then looked at her deeply: "I wanted to take you to a bar to meet up with your friends, but I was afraid you'd be too tired to go."

"It's okay, I don't mind being with you." Shang Wu smiled, not letting go of his lit-up phone screen.

The above is a message sent by Zhou Yanci's friend.

[Sleep is with us, searching for you. Come quickly.]

Zhou Yanci started the car: "Then let's go. Don't worry, I'll definitely stop them from pressuring you to drink."

Shang Wu smiled and nodded, but her eyes were cold.

Soon, the two arrived at the private room.

Shang Wu went in and glanced around.

Zhou Yanci's friends were drinking and playing dice, while Chenmian sat quietly in the corner watching.

Seeing them come in, Gu Ziqian quickly turned off the music, stood up and said with a smile, "You're here! Come and sit down, the atmosphere is just getting warmed up."

When Zhou Yanci saw Chenmian, he stopped in his tracks and his face darkened.

"Who told you to call her here?"

One sentence shattered the atmosphere.

He froze, feeling embarrassed and helpless.

Shang Wu pursed her lips.

He clearly knew Chenmian was there, which is why he brought her here. He's quite the actor.

She laughed and tugged at Zhou Yanci's sleeve, saying, "Yanci, why are you treating Miss Chen like this? It's all in the past. We can still be friends."

Shang Wu's voice was gentle, and a few words from her dispelled the heat in the private room.

Chenmian glanced at her, gritted her teeth, and walked towards Zhou Yanci.

"A-Ci, I need your help with something. I'm back in China and have nowhere to stay. Could you rent me your spare apartment? I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have bothered you and Miss Shang if I hadn't been desperate."

Her eyes were glistening with tears, which she tried hard not to show, but her body trembled slightly, inadvertently revealing a hint of vulnerability.

Zhou Yanci's eyes flickered slightly: "Why should I help you? Miss Shen, what's our relationship?"

Chenmian took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "We did love each other after all, must you be so heartless?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Shang Wu.
