Is he planning to move back in?
Xiang Jin silently pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart.
Xiang Jin arrived at the company.
Kelly is calling a meeting with the second group.
"Everyone, the jewelry new product showcase is still about a month away. Everyone, hurry up and prepare your designs. This time, we must surpass one group and three groups to win this key project," Kelly said with high spirits.
"What are we going to take? Our team is short a designer, and our skills are already weaker than Team 1 and Team 3. How can we compete with them?" a colleague complained.
Others echoed this sentiment, though some voices expressed their grievances.
Xiang Jin gripped the pen tightly, remaining silent.
"Who says we're weaker than them?" Kelly said confidently. "From today onwards, Fan Youwei is officially joining Group Two. Everyone, give her a warm welcome!"
Fan Youwei?
She came to Yixin?!
Everyone looked on in astonishment and turned to look at the door, where Fan Youwei was gracefully walking into the conference room.
She tossed her long, wavy hair, straightened her back, and smiled warmly: "Hello everyone, I'll be working with you all from now on. Although my abilities are average, I will definitely not be like some people who hold everyone back."
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Welcome, talented lady!"
"Group Two is like a tiger with wings, it's fantastic!"
The meeting room immediately erupted in excitement, a scene completely different from the day Xiang Jin came to the company.
"Holding everyone back..." Xiang Jin raised the corner of her mouth but didn't say anything.
"May I sit here?" After making the introduction, Fan Youwei walked straight to Xiang Jin's side and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
“Of course—” Before Xiang Jin could finish speaking, Fan Youwei sat down directly.
He nudged Xiang Jin twice with his elbow, almost imperceptibly.
"Wow, Sister Wei is so domineering! Is she expressing her dissatisfaction with Xiang Jin?" Some colleagues whispered among themselves, after all, Fan Youwei almost couldn't come to Yixin because of Xiang Jin.
"With her educational background, does she even deserve to be Sister Wei's rival?"
"That's true... but even sitting together like this, Xiang Jin's aura is just as strong!"
…………
"Alright, stop making a fuss." Kelly slapped the table twice, signaling everyone to be quiet.
“From now on, we’re all family. Please take good care of each other, especially Xiang Jin. You only graduated from high school, have no design experience, and even served three years in prison. You should learn more from everyone.” Kelly looked up, a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Go to jail? What do you mean by going to jail?" Ran Fangya asked.
"It's nothing, I just heard about it myself. Xiang Jin killed someone in a drunk driving accident and served three years in prison, but don't look down on her because of that. She didn't do it on purpose."
The meeting room erupted into noise again.
"Going to jail? My God, and he even killed someone in a car accident."
"With such a shady background, how did she manage to get into Ichishin University?! What kind of ability does she have?!"
"Ha, it's all because of that face. I wonder whose bed she slept in."
…………
As all sorts of unpleasant words reached his ears, Xiang Jin's face paled slightly.
Seeing Xiang Jin's embarrassment, Kelly felt extremely pleased.
If she hadn't secretly looked through the personnel file, she wouldn't have known about this. It was under this pretext that she persuaded Director Chen to hire Fan Youwei.
Director Chen even asked her at the time, "Are you sure you won't regret losing Xiang Jin?"
regret?
Exchanging Xiang Jin for Fan Youwei was absolutely worthwhile, so why regret it?
Therefore, Kelly said without hesitation, "Even if I die, I will not regret it!"
Chen Anxing didn't say anything, he just nodded.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'll send the work assignments to the group chat, and everyone can proceed according to their roles." Kelly said, and then the meeting adjourned.
Xiang Jin went to the restroom.
When she returned, she noticed that everyone was glancing at her from time to time. She nonchalantly went back to her workstation and opened the task assignment sheet in the group chat.
As expected, Fan Youwei was in charge of the design work, leading Pei Ji and a group of designers to carry it out, Fang Ya was in charge of data collection, and Wen Xi was in charge of logistical support.
Xiang Jin found her name.
In the logistics support column, it's the last one.
She was treated like a handyman again.
After a moment of silence, she got up and walked towards Kelly's office.
"Team leader, my position is clothing design. Please let me participate in the design work for this project," Xiang Jin frankly expressed his thoughts.
Kelly was stunned.
He then laughed sarcastically.
"Xiang Jin, with your looks, you think you can do design work?"
"Even if I don't do well, I have to try to know, right?" Xiang Jin clenched his fist.
“No need to try. In my group, you can only do menial tasks. Or you could ask other groups if they want you? Or you could choose to leave.” Kelly smiled leisurely.
"Please let me do the design!"
"impossible!"
The two were locked in a stalemate.
After a while, Xiang Jin turned and left the office.
She took a deep breath and began to deal with the chores at hand, trying her best not to pay attention to what the people around her were saying.
"She still wants to do design? Pshaw... It's a disgrace to us that she even came to Isshin."
"I heard she's been to jail, is that true?"
"How could this be fake? And do you even know who she killed? Lu Yifan! The Lu family, who are on good terms with Murong Xiao!"
"My God, isn't that Boss Xiao's fiancée from back then?!"
"No wonder Kelly wouldn't let her participate in the design work. Sending our enemy's work to us would only anger Boss Xiao, ruin everything we've worked so hard for..."
Xiang Jin's hand remained on the mouse, his whole body turning cold.
"Don't worry about it, just listen and forget about it. But the organizer of this event is a company under Feng Rong, which is really not suitable for you." Yun Xin passed by and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Xiang Jin returned the smile.
After get off work, my colleagues left the office one after another. Although the project was approaching, there was still plenty of time, and there was no need to work overtime.
Xiang Jin stayed.
After everyone had left, she picked up her phone and dialed Director Chen's number.
"Director Chen, may I participate in the design work for this new jewelry design exhibition, not under the name of Group Two?" Xiang Jin asked.
"you mean……"
"I want to participate as a member of Group Four."

Back at the Lakeside Villa.
Aunt Yang was setting out the food when Murong Xiao was reading a financial magazine in the living room.
"Madam is back. Young Master is waiting for you to eat." Aunt Yang smiled and set out the bowls and chopsticks before quietly leaving.
"Look at the time!" Murong Xiao snapped at her again.
"I'm sorry..." She was drawing in the office and lost track of time while drawing. It was only 9:50, not past 10 o'clock yet.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Murong Xiao didn't say anything more and silently went to sit down in the restaurant.
"Murong Xiao, have you ever hated me? I killed Lu Yifan." Xiang Jin held her chopsticks, looking at him with some trepidation.
She didn't care about other people's opinions; she only cared about his.
