Ning Yichu was really at a loss for words. She never expected that her bad marriage with Li Lingyang would make her more favored by her boss.
Just take two months of classes and you don’t have to pay the penalty. Only a fool would refuse!
Mo Boyu stared at her quietly and did not urge her to make a decision quickly. He believed that she would make a choice.
After a few seconds, Ning Yichu gave her answer, "When can I start work?"
"Now."
Ning Yichu completed the employment procedures and became a jade carver of the Arctic Group, affiliated with the jade carving studio under the jewelry department.
There are only a few ordinary employees in the studio. She has the longest seniority, so she naturally becomes the supervisor.
Although she had only been working there for two months, she was still serious and responsible, and won praise from Mo Boyu.
After work that day, the department said they were going to hold a welcome event and invite her to dinner.
Ning Yichu was stuck on a document, so he let them go first.
After finishing the documents, she rushed to the venue booked by the designers. She thought it would be a restaurant or something, but she didn't expect that the meeting place was chosen to be the Jiangnan Club.
Isn’t this the club where Li Lingyang took me away after drinking too much last time?
Whenever she thought about the embarrassing incident that happened that day, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
It was just after get off work, and the traffic on the road was extremely congested.
At a traffic light intersection, Ning Yichu called Aunt Wang and asked her to stay a little longer tonight to take care of Ningning, as she might be back late.
After hanging up the phone, the car felt a bit stuffy, so she rolled down the window to get some fresh air. She unexpectedly saw an old lady of nearly eighty years old sitting in the back seat of a Bentley parked next to the taxi.
She was dressed elegantly, leaning lazily on the cushions, chatting with the driver...
Ning Yichu recognized at a glance that this was Grandma Li whom he hadn't seen for five years!
After so many years, there seemed to be more wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were as kind and gentle as ever.
Ning Yichu wanted to say hello to her grandmother so much, but she would be leaving in two months, so she swallowed the words silently.
Grandma Li seemed to feel her gaze and slowly turned her head, but saw nothing.
Aunt Tong asked, "Old Madam, what are you looking at?"
"I felt like someone was watching me just now."
"Maybe it's because of the beautiful car and the beauty, he was amazed by your temperament." Aunt Tong said jokingly.
Grandma Li scolded her with amusement, "I'm already old, and I'm still a beauty."
"Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will still be a great beauty."
Ning Yichu leaned forward in the car window and faintly heard Grandma Li's voice. She didn't stand up until the green light came on and the driver drove away for a distance. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
When we arrived at the club, everyone else had already arrived and was sitting together, talking and drinking. There were both men and women, many of whom were big-name designers who had followed Arctic from its European headquarters and were internationally famous.
As a newcomer to the group, Ning Yichu's being late for so long always makes some people feel unhappy.
Especially the famous European veteran designers.
"You Asian women are so arrogant. You just came to the group and you made us wait for you alone..." The woman who spoke was called Delia, who was notorious for discriminating against Asians.
Ning Yichu picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm really sorry, I was late because of the traffic. I'll drink a glass as punishment."
"Just drink a drink as punishment?" the assistant designer next to Delia said in a sly voice, "I heard that Miss Ning was specially approved by the boss and is more capable than all of us. Isn't it Miss Ning's treat tonight?"
Mo Boyu didn't tell her that she would only be attending the class for two months, so Delia and the others thought she would stay for a long time. Ning Yichu agreed generously in the hope of establishing a good relationship with her.
"Everyone, enjoy your meal and have fun."
"Wow, Miss Ning is so awesome!"
"Miss Ning, I'll toast you a glass."
Delia pulled the corners of her mouth into a sinister smile, then winked at her follower and ordered a lot of wine in one breath, all of which were very expensive.
Someone whispered, "These bottles of wine are five or six thousand yuan each. They're too expensive..."
Delia smiled faintly. "There's never been a precedent in the Arctic for a CEO to specifically recruit an Asian female designer. Who knows what backdoor Miss Ning got? A few bottles of wine are nothing, right, Miss Ning?"
"A few bottles of wine is certainly nothing, but it also depends on whether the person drinking it deserves it."
Ning Yichu is not a pushover. Delia is obviously looking for trouble, but she is still willing to be blackmailed by her. Isn't she crazy?
The smile on Delia's face froze instantly, "Bitch, what did you say?"
"Don't you understand Chinese? Oh, sorry, I forgot. You are a famous European designer and your native language is English." Ning Yichu repeated what he had just said in English.
Delia was so angry that her face turned pale and she glared at Ning Yichu fiercely.
She has always had a crush on the president. When she heard that he was coming to the capital to explore new markets, she decisively gave up her foundation in Europe and followed him to the capital.
I originally thought that the president would let her be the director of the jewelry department, but the appointment was never made. Instead, he poached a great jade carver.
"...We are all colleagues, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Someone tried to smooth things over.
"Delia, calm down. She's just a lowly Oriental woman, and she's only good at talking. She'll have to prove herself at work in the future. The boss will definitely know who's the best," Delia's assistant designer soothed her.
Delia's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and then she snorted coldly and sat down again.
Ning Yichu just smiled and continued to greet others.
In the private room next door, the waiter just told the owner Mu Bailang what had happened.
"Tsk tsk, after not seeing you for a few years, Xiao Chuchu has become so strong." Mu Bailang's thin lips curved up and he turned his head to ask Li Lingyang, "I remember when she was married to you, she was as soft as a sheep?"
Li Lingyang drank the red wine in one gulp, a trace of darkness passed across his handsome brows. Ning Yichu was no longer the same person she was five years ago.
Mu Bailang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I heard that the mother of the illegitimate child who looks like you is not Xiao Chuchu?"
Li Lingyang was in a bad mood and said casually, "If you say it's not true, then it's not true."
"Bah, you are such a scumbag. Although I have been with many women, at least I have never made anyone pregnant. You say you are after Shen Jiangqing and the mysterious woman..." Mu Bailang said with disgust.
Li Lingyang glared at him coldly, almost wanting to have him thrown out, "Is it because your old lady hasn't arranged enough blind dates for you? Are you bored?"
Mu Bailang was afraid that Li Lingyang would go to the old lady to complain, so he narrowed his eyes like a thousand-year-old fox and said, "Aren't I helping you analyze this? That woman gave birth to the child and didn't come to you for so long. Now she suddenly jumps out. What does she want to do?"
