Chapter 118: Conspiracy becomes overt
The father and son stood there, with the same expression and the same confusion. What happened to her? This was the common psychological activity of the two.
Xiang Nuan ran back to the company, but kept scolding herself all the way. She was slacking off. She swore that she would not be like the original owner, who was in love and wanted to rewrite the plot herself. She had to stick to it until the day when the contract expired!
She brainwashed and encouraged herself, and when she returned to the office, she had a heroic and confident expression on her face, which scared her sleepy colleagues.
"Sister Xiang Nuan, other celebrity wives are all living a life of luxury, why are you still working so hard?" Du Mengmeng stretched lazily. The short lunch break always passed in a flash, and she had to cheer herself up and start the second half of the battle.
"How many celebrity wives do you know?" Xiang Nuan smiled.
"Just you...hehe." Du Mengmeng smiled naively, but with the innocence unique to youth.
"The rest is pure imagination!" others joked.
Du Mengmeng laughed even more happily and didn't care about their teasing.
Xiang Nuan had only known her for two days when she was impressed by her clever ideas. She showed her her own ideas, and she really came up with many new and unique ideas.
"Everybody" Ling Zheng came over clapping his hands and reminded everyone: "Xiang Nuan's plan has been approved. We showed it to Mina yesterday and she liked it very much! Next, we will work hard in this direction. Xiang Nuan, you will be in charge of this project. In a month, we will give everyone a different art exhibition!"
There was applause in the office, and Xiang Nuan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't even need to look around to feel that the applause was not just about happiness and excitement.
"I will definitely try my best, but I'm a newcomer and I don't have enough time to learn, let alone take responsibility. If I don't make a fool of myself, everyone is already trying their best to take care of me. And I still have a show to record, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, so..."
"Time is not a problem. Didn't you come up with this idea and put it into practice during the recording of the show? It's just two jobs. If you can't balance them, you're not Xiang Nuan anymore."
Xiang Nuan almost made a face at Ling Zheng when she heard this, but he just ignored her and made the decision.
Tsk! Finally someone couldn't hold back their dissatisfaction, and this cry came from the bottom of their heart.
It's human nature, Xiang Nuan understands it 100%. She's just a celebrity's wife, relying on her wealth, fame and resources, but she's only been here for two days, not to mention that she occasionally skips work for personal matters, and she's been the project manager for nothing. Who wouldn't say the same thing? !
"Sister Xiang Nuan, we will follow you, you make the arrangements." Lin Chengfeng was the first to express his opinion.
"Yeah!" Du Mengmeng also expressed her attitude.
Xiang Nuan looked at the two of them with a wry smile, took a deep breath, and went after Ling Zheng again.
"Brother, I promise to do my job well. Let's not cause any hatred, okay?" She even began to beg for mercy.
Ling Zheng looked at her, up and down, front and back, and even pulled her hand to spin around. Finally, he snorted, "Whoever proposes is responsible. This is the rule here. The first time I saw you, I knew you were not a soldier who just worked. What are you doing? Are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger here?"
Xiang Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I get scolded too many times every day, I really don't want to attract hatred anymore. I just got here, it's normal for people to be dissatisfied. If you really want to respect me, can we take it slow? I've broken my heart into eight pieces, I just want to have some peace and quiet here with you, okay?"
Ling Zheng looked at her embarrassment and laughed: "You are responsible for this project! But I can help you this time."
Xiang Nuan was still in a daze, waiting for him to come up with a brilliant idea. Unexpectedly, his face darkened and he suddenly said in a high tone: "This is arranged by the company, not a favor from anyone. You are just an ordinary employee here, don't act like a big star. If you can't do it, get out!"
Xiang Nuan's jaw almost dropped to her chest. Before she could react, she was pushed out by Ling Zheng. Now, she had suffered the shame, the scolding, and the rejection at the door.
She returned to her seat with a stiff and dazed expression, her eyes full of curiosity, sympathy, even ridicule, but no more jealousy.
"He--" She pointed in the direction of Ling Zheng's office, her voice trembling.
"You'll get used to it slowly. This is Mr. Ling's temper. Even though he seems humorous and kind at ordinary times, he becomes a different person once he gets into work. He doesn't care about his relatives or friends and doesn't care about anything." Du Mengmeng came over and patted her on the back to calm her down.
Xiang Nuan looked at everyone in shock and said tremblingly, "Each person will be responsible for one painting. I will assign them and send them to your email addresses. The first submission will be held in three days for discussion."
No one said anything now. It seems that pretending to be a pig is not enough, you also have to pretend to be stupid, miserable and pitiful, and it would be best if you can cooperate with the boss from inside and outside.
"Is it effective?" Ling Zheng sent her a WeChat message.
"The effect is amazing, I can be more ruthless next time!"
Ling Zheng's office suddenly erupted in wild laughter. Everyone looked around inexplicably and devoted themselves to their work even more obediently.
As long as you put your mind to it, time will fly. It was almost time to get off work, but everyone was still in shock and unsure whether to leave on time.
"Sister Nuan," Du Mengmeng lowered her voice and gave a signal: "Are you off work?"
Xiang Nuan was even more cautious. She poked her head out to look at Ling Zheng's office, and then looked at everyone with fear: "Can we leave?"
"I'm asking you!" Du Mengmeng pointed at her watch anxiously.
"Walk!"
Xiang Nuan stood up and deliberately packed up her things with a loud noise. Looking at Ling Zheng's office, it was silent the whole time. Suddenly, everyone used the disappearing spell together, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one there.
Xiang Nuan was stunned, and in the end she was the last one to leave.
Hey, that’s interesting!
By the time she walked out onto the street, the setting sun had already painted the entire world awash in orange and pink hues, creating a uniquely romantic feel.
Xiang Nuan opened her arms and stretched out her body. Thinking of everything that happened today, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Mrs. Jiang is in a good mood."
Xiang Nuan turned around slowly and saw Liu Yunshan standing in the light and shadow reflected by the outer wall. She couldn't help but stare in amazement.
"No wonder so many people like Miss Liu, she is really beautiful."
Xiang Nuan smiled gently, as naturally as if she was meeting an old friend.
"You don't seem surprised at all."
"It's already been arranged, what's the surprise? Let's go have a cup of milk tea together?"
Xiang Nuan walked over briskly and took her arm.
Liu Yunshan was completely stunned. What was going on? She wasn't surprised, but she wasn't angry either? Moreover, she looked quite happy. Was she having an illusion?
"What? You don't like milk tea? Or do you need to manage your body and can't drink these high-sugar, high-calorie foods?"
Xiang Nuan smiled so kindly that Liu Yunshan didn't know what to say.
"It's up to you."
She even forgot why she came here and was completely led by Xiang Nuan.
"Yeah, that's the smell. A perfect blend of light milk and tea scents. I like it."
Xiang Nuan took a big sip with satisfaction and motioned Liu Yunshan to try it quickly.
This kind of sweet food is indeed against her rules. Her diet is strictly limited, and she is not suitable for high sugar, high oil, and high calories. But she still took a sip - she suddenly smiled, it was really delicious.
"The endorsement contract is your punishment for repeatedly harming me. It is also enough to dispel Jin Nuoyi's suspicion of you. Since you are interested in Jiang Yunhui, I will take the lead and this drama can end successfully. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Let's finish recording the next show, OK?"
The milk tea suddenly lost its sweetness, and Liu Yunshan looked at Xiang Nuan as if she was meeting her for the first time.
Impossible, how could she know all this, Impossible!
"Is this milk tea a drug that makes you mad? Why did Mrs. Jiang start talking nonsense after taking a sip?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's messy or not, as long as you understand it."
Xiang Nuan took another big sip with a smile.
"I'm speaking frankly to you with all my sincerity. You've achieved your goal, and I don't want to waste my time and life entangled with you. I'm only saying this once. If you stop, all this will be over. But if you want to start a sequel, then I can only accompany you to the end."
Xiang Nuan raised her milk tea cup and clinked it with Liu Yunshan's: "Jiang Chao is a scumbag, he doesn't deserve you."
After saying that, she walked away in style. After taking three steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, I'll tell your informant about this. He's terrible."
Liu Yunshan was completely confused. She hadn't even started her plan for the night. KO! She was the one who fell off the ring!
