Si Mochen had naturally thought about this.

There are so many departments in the entire Peak Group, but Zhao Sichun did not go there and instead chose the design department.

The purpose is obvious, it is clearly to better bully Xia Zhichu.

"Do your best to protect her. I believe you can."

Lina shrugged helplessly, "Forget it, she is my sister-in-law after all. Even if you offend Zhao Sichun thoroughly, I will help you protect her to the end."

From a public perspective, as the manager of the design department, she must maintain order in the entire department.

Personally, Xia Zhichu is the woman Si Mochen cares about the most, and as a friend he should help her.

Lina looked at Xia Zhichu who was working diligently, took a deep breath, and said, "For your wife, I prepared a celebration banquet for her tonight. You'll have to reimburse the expenses!"

"certainly."

Si Mochen didn't talk any more and hung up the phone first.

He put his phone aside, opened Xia Zhichu's work, and savored it carefully.

When Lina suggested sending the works to the Milan Fashion Show competition, Si Mochen said he would let Lina arrange it, but he spent a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Even though Xia Zhichu's works are excellent, she is still a newcomer after all.

The prerequisite for qualifying for the Milan Fashion Show is to be a senior designer with many years of design experience.

Xia Zhichu lacks experience and it would be difficult for him to be shortlisted without help.

Si Mochen controlled everything behind the scenes and bribed the judges, which allowed Xia Zhichu's work to be accepted as an exception.

The main purpose of doing this is to boost Xia Zhichu's self-confidence, and of course, to enable Xia Zhichu to gain a firm foothold in the design department.

After all, she has some outstanding works, so who would dare to question her ability in the future?

…

Just before getting off work, Lina sent a location message in the department group.

The celebration banquet in the evening was scheduled to be held at the largest seafood restaurant in Jincheng. My colleagues all had cars, so they just had to find their way there themselves.

As for Xia Zhichu, he was in a dilemma.

The hotel was quite far away and she couldn't get there by riding her electric bike.

Lily and others took this opportunity to make fun of her again, but Xia Zhichu didn't care. Who said that people who drive cars are rich people, and who thought that people who ride donkeys on cars are poor people?

In Xia Zhichu's opinion, any random ragpicker on the street might actually be a millionaire.

The colleagues were even making a bet that Xia Zhichu would be late for the celebration party, so as soon as the work was over, everyone left with a gloating look on their face.

After everyone left, Xia Zhichu packed up his things. Since the little donkey couldn't make it, he took a taxi.

But she underestimated the traffic conditions in Jincheng. It was the shift change time and there was no way to get a taxi.

Just when she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, a red sports car suddenly stopped in front of her. The next second, Lina's gentle voice came, "Zhichu, get in. I'll take you there."

Xia Zhichu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and her face, which had been wrinkled into a bitter color, suddenly showed a smile. She nodded, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Thank you, Teacher Lina."

"Thank me for what?" Lina asked knowingly.

"Thank you for helping me out today, and thank you for providing me with such a good opportunity. Of course, thank you for taking me with you." Everything Lina did was to help her. Just because Xia Zhichu didn't say it didn't mean she didn't know.

Deep down in her heart, she was very grateful to Lina.

"All this is the result of your hard work, and the person you should thank is yourself." Lina wore black sunglasses, and although her eyes could not be seen, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she was obviously smiling.

Lina heard her colleagues making a bet, and of course she also knew that Xia Zhichu came to work on a donkey.

Therefore, she waited for Xia Zhichu downstairs and then drove over to pick her up.

"Teacher Lina, can I ask you a question?" After hesitating for a long time, Xia Zhichu decided to ask the doubts in his heart.

Lina hummed, "You say."

Xia Zhichu pursed her lips and asked, "Everyone in the design department is better than me, and their work isn't necessarily worse than mine. Why did you choose my work to enter in the Milan Fashion Show?"

When Lina brought up this matter that day, Xia Zhichu was extremely excited. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was just a newcomer. Even though this "cheating" painting was unique, it was still slightly inferior to the experience and strength of her predecessors.

As a result, Lina chose me from more than a dozen works and helped me get the qualification.

Xia Zhichu knew her own strengths and also understood the qualifications for participating in the Milan Fashion Show. With her qualifications and conditions, she was far from being able to meet the requirements.

Kelina tried so hard to help her, and even rescued her from difficulties several times, which made Xia Zhichu really confused. What was she trying to achieve?

Unexpectedly, Lina raised her hand to take off her glasses, turned around and said to her very seriously, "Because of your experience, I have also suffered."

Xia Zhichu was stunned for a moment and looked at her with some confusion.

Lina continued, "I used to be looked down upon and even insulted and ridiculed by my colleagues, so I understand your current situation and want to do my best to help you."

At the beginning, Lina was struggling alone in a foreign country. Countless setbacks eroded all her confidence. It was the appearance of Si Mochen that pulled her out of the darkness.

Si Mochen provided her with a working environment, but she was squeezed out by her colleagues because of her lack of qualifications and had to start as a handyman. Lina thought that this would be her life, but she didn't expect that Si Mochen personally arranged a job for her and specially hired someone to train her.

Over time, her talent was stimulated, she received more and more honors, and even slowly reached the pinnacle of the fashion industry, and had the opportunity to display her works on the Milan catwalk.

It can be said that it was Si Mochen who changed her life, allowing her to gain a foothold in the design industry and become a great designer admired by everyone.

She was grateful to Si Mochen and respected him, so she agreed to his request without hesitation.

Of course, at first she decided to help Xia Zhichu only because Si Mochen asked her to do so. However, as she slowly observed, she found that Xia Zhichu was clearly a replica of herself.

At that moment, Lina's heart was shaken, and she decided to support Xia Zhichu just like Si Mochen had helped her.

Facts have proved that her decision was right. Xia Zhichu was a dark horse, but her brilliance was wiped out because she was trapped in marriage for three years. However, as long as she is guided, her future prospects will be immeasurable.

Xia Zhichu didn't expect Lina to have such an experience. She asked in disbelief, "Then how did you get to where you are today?"

Lina was very talkative, so she told her all about her transformation. At the end, she looked at Xia Zhichu with great seriousness, "Behind every successful person, there must be a mentor who helps them, and your mentor is me!"
