That evening, Su Yan received a call from Jason.

"Qiong, YiKoo Technology has issued a public statement to hold Lin Hui accountable. They have also sent a message requesting cooperation."

Su Yan held her iPad, looking at the news about Lin Hui's retirement from the entertainment industry, and smiled, "Tell them we can collaborate."

The next morning, the company was in an uproar because of a piece of news.

"Is it true that Qiong is cooperating with us? Is the information accurate?"

Everyone's face was filled with excitement.

They're about to collaborate with the hottest up-and-coming design star in China—how could they not be excited!

"Then can I see Joan?"

"Dream on. You can't just meet Joan anytime you want."

The person being criticized was somewhat unconvinced, but upon reflection, felt that the chances of seeing Joan were still extremely slim.

Just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing the matter, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

Listening to their cheerful conversation about Qiong, and seeing their excited and elated expressions, it would be a lie to say that Lin Hui wasn't angry.

But that wasn't the reason she made this special trip; she couldn't let this ruin her grand plan.

Good morning, everyone.

Lin Hui tried her best to greet everyone warmly, as if nothing had happened.

But as soon as she spoke, the entire office fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, and unanimously chose to remain silent.

Lin Hui looked somewhat embarrassed, and she casually turned and went into the office.

The moment she stepped into the office, the office erupted in chaos.

"How dare she show her face? If it weren't for Joan, we would be in real trouble this time!"

"Keep your voice down, don't worry about her hearing you. She's the future CEO's wife, do you dare offend her?"

The office was filled with a heated discussion when Lin Hui walked out.

She quickly packed her things; all she could take with her was this cardboard box in her hand.

Su Yan watched as she walked past her, and under everyone's special gaze, she walked away proudly in her high heels.

It seems she was never a loser, nor was she ever kicked out of the company.

Su Yan glanced at the clock on the table; it was 9:05. She suddenly seemed to know why Lin Hui had come all this way.

When she looked up at Lin Hui again, Lin Hui suddenly swayed, as if she had slipped and lost control of her body, staggering twice before falling to the ground.

They actually had the nerve to pull off that feint.

Su Yan watched with great interest, when a figure suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision.

It seems the male lead of this big production has arrived.

Following the typical female lead scenario, Lin Hui, with her halo, fell into the male lead's arms as she wished.

Lin Hui forced a smile, composed herself, and looked up at Yi An, who had supported her, with a surprised yet grateful gaze.

But when she looked up and saw the person supporting her, she was completely stunned.

"Why is it you?"

She blurted it out unconsciously, then realized her mistake and hurriedly covered her mouth, glancing at Yi An behind her.

Fortunately, her voice wasn't loud, and Yi'an didn't hear it.

Zhao Bo's face turned bright red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

With his last ounce of strength, he spat out through gritted teeth, "Big sister, can you get up? You're quite heavy."

The last sentence deeply stung Lin Hui. She stood up abruptly, glared at Zhao Bo, and ran towards Yi An.

"Brother An, this ground is so slippery, I almost fell just now," she complained to him.

Zhao Bo listened to her sweet, coquettish voice and tried hard to ignore it.

What kind of trouble did he cause this morning? He arrived at the company and immediately took a hot potato, almost crushing it to death, and didn't even say thank you.

He silently rolled his eyes and carefully imitated her speech.

Yi An coughed lightly twice, glanced around, and seemed to pause for a second when passing Su Yan.

"If there's nothing else, hurry back."

"But Brother An..."

Before Lin Hui could finish speaking, Yi An turned and walked towards the office at the end of the corridor.

Seeing that she had not achieved her goal, Lin Hui was naturally unhappy. She abandoned the box on the ground and turned to leave.

As soon as she entered the elevator, Su Yan pretended to go to the tea room and picked up the box on the ground.

Ignoring the lively chatter around her, she walked straight to Yi'an's office.

When Yi'an heard the door open, she assumed it was Zhao Bo and let him in without even looking up.

As the footsteps drew closer, before he could even look up, a cardboard box was placed on the table in front of him.

"What's this?"

He looked up in surprise, but instead of Zhao Bo, he saw Su Yan.

Su Yan smiled meaningfully and said, "President Lin left in a hurry and left it behind. I saw it lying pitifully on the ground, so I picked it up and asked President Yi to give it to President Lin."

Yi An looked at the smile on her face and felt inexplicably strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on why.

He glanced casually into the box; there was nothing important, just some trinkets.

He casually said, "Just leave it here. She can take it with her when she comes sometime."

He changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Since she's gone too, you should go back to your original position and stop staying in the design department."

After saying this, he didn't expect that Su Yan would reject him without even thinking.

“President Yi, I think I’m doing quite well in the design department. There’s no need to transfer me back. Besides, you already have Secretary Zhao by your side, so you don’t need me at all.”

Although she said this with a smile, Yi An was still taken aback.

"The position you applied for is the president's secretary, not a design assistant," Yi An reminded her.

"Oh! Mr. Yi, you remember me too. I thought I was only suitable to be Mr. Lin's design assistant."

This woman has a special name: petty-minded.

Yi An didn't know why, when she heard her being provoked like that, she wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she found it particularly interesting and even a little happy.

"Oh, right, this is for President Yi."

Su Yan placed the green tea that she had been hiding behind her back on the table in front of Yi An.

"Green tea?" Yi An said. "Although I prefer coffee, it's also very good."

He intentionally revealed his preferences, but Su Yan didn't take it to heart at all.

She seemed extremely surprised by these words, as if she had heard something incredibly important.

"So, Mr. Yi doesn't like green tea?"

Yi An was a little confused. Was it really such an exaggerated thing that he didn't like drinking green tea?

Su Yan suddenly changed the subject, and her expression changed as well.

"But why do I feel that President Yi has a special fondness for green tea?"

Even after Su Yan left, Yi An kept pondering those words.

Finally, he realized that he had been the one being subtly criticized.
