Chapter 348: Every Second Counts
"I don't know, but I just heard Manager Wang call her Miss Xiao. Could she be from the Xiao family?"
"Impossible? If you are from the Xiao family, how could you possibly come to work in such a small company!"
Everyone was talking about it, and some of them were praising Xiao Muzhen for her beauty. Zhao Mingyue even heard a few words when she came out of the meeting with the design department manager.
She called her assistant Zhang Qian into the office and said, "Go check who they are discussing outside."
Not long after, Zhang Qian came back.
"Sister Mingyue, they were discussing the new designer in the design department. I heard his last name is Xiao Muzhen, and they speculated that he might be a member of the Xiao family."
Zhao Mingyue sneered, "The Xiao family? It's just a coincidence that they share the same surname. Go and warn them to work hard and stop chatting about these trivial matters during working hours."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Zhang Qian didn't dare to tell her colleagues what they said about Xiao Muzhen being much prettier than Zhao Mingyue, so she turned and left.
Zhao Mingyue picked up a document on the table, and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
The annual company design selection competition is coming soon, and she absolutely cannot let other designers take advantage of the opportunity, so she might as well use Lin's contract to test her bottom line!
Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyue immediately got up and went to find Yan Nan, the manager of the design department, which was a good opportunity for them to meet.
Almost everyone in the design department knew that Zhao Mingyue liked Yan Nan, so even though Yan Nan was elegant and gentle, no one in the design department dared to covet him. After all, Zhao Mingyue was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. If they angered her, let alone their work, it would be a problem whether they could continue to survive in the capital.
Zhao Mingyue walked to the door of Yan Nan's office with the documents. As soon as she knocked on the door and walked in, she saw a slender woman with big wavy hair sitting in front of Yan Nan's desk with her back to her.
She tightened her grip on the document, having a feeling that this woman was the new designer.
"Zhao Sheji, what can I do for you?"
Yan Nan's voice was gentle, but his eyes when he looked at Zhao Mingyue were extremely calm. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had no feelings for Zhao Mingyue at all, but Zhao Mingyue refused to give up.
After calming herself down, Zhao Mingyue smiled and walked in.
"Manager Yan, I'm here to give you some documents. This must be the new designer. I was hoping to get to know her, and I didn't expect to meet her by chance."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman sitting on the chair turned around and looked at her with a smile on her face, "Hello, Zhao Design."
"you……"
Zhao Mingyue's footsteps suddenly stopped and she almost fell down in shock. It turned out to be that bitch Chi Xuan!
"Chi Xuan, why are you here?!"
Xiao Muzhen raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of confusion. "Ms. Zhao, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Muzhen. This should be the first time we meet. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Zhao Mingyue gritted her teeth and said coldly, "How could I be mistaken?! You are obviously Chi Xuan. What is your purpose in coming here? Are you here to take revenge on me?!"
"Did Zhao Sheji do something wrong to others? Why do you feel that others want to retaliate against you?"
"you!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Muzhen was so sharp-tongued that Zhao Mingyue had no choice but to look at Yan Nan. "Manager Yan, this woman is Chi Xuan, the girlfriend of the Huo Group's president. I don't know how she got a fake identity to enter our company, but such a person must not be allowed to stay, otherwise she might leak company secrets to the Huo Group!"
Before Yan Nan could say anything, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing the mockery in her eyes, Zhao Mingyue instantly looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and angrily said, "What are you laughing at?"
"What you said is funny, can't I laugh?"
"How is this funny? You're a spy! You want to steal the company's blueprints!"
Xiao Muzhen's smile deepened a bit, and he said calmly, "If I remember correctly, Huo's clothing industry has become the second largest in Beijing. It has no rivals except Xiao's. If this company is under Xiao's, I would admit that I came here to steal the company's designs. Would you steal the designs of a company that is inferior to yours?"
What's more, she didn't know the president of Huo's at all. Zhao Mingyue felt again and again that she looked like the president of Huo's girlfriend. She had begun to be curious about what that woman looked like.
"Stop quibbling, you must be here to steal the blueprints!"
“That’s enough!”
Yan Nan looked at Zhao Mingyue with dissatisfaction and said coldly, "Designer Zhao, Designer Xiao and I still have something to discuss. Please leave first!"
Zhao Mingyue looked incredulous and hurt, "You don't believe me?"
Yan Nan had a blank expression on his face. "Xiao Design was hired through formal recruitment. I don't want to hear such nonsense slander again!"
Zhao Mingyue held the document tightly, and the sharp edges of the document scratched her palms, which hurt, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
She had worked with Yan Nan for so many years, and she had originally thought that even if Yan Nan didn't like her, he would still treat her as a friend. She hadn't expected that he would be so mean to her for a new designer.
Xiao Muzhen, huh?!
She remembered it!
"Yan Nan, don't regret it!"
Zhao Mingyue left angrily and slammed the office door.
Yan Nan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Xiao Sheji, I'm sorry, Zhao Sheji just has a bad temper. After you get to know her, you'll know she's not a bad person."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said nothing.
Not a bad nature?
It seems that she is evil to the core, and she hasn't forgotten how Chen Cheng pushed her to the edge of the knife!
But she didn't expect that Zhao Mingyue was actually the designer of Qingshang.
"By the way, there's a batch of orders coming up recently, and Zhao Sheji might not be able to complete them on her own within the deadline. Why don't you go and help her?"
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said slowly, "Manager Yan, I don't like working with people who hate me. If possible, we can split the order in two. Zhao Design and I will each take half and not interfere with each other. What do you think?"
Yan Nan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll discuss it with Zhao Sheji later."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"good."
After Xiao Muzhen left, Yan Nan dealt with some work for a while, and only asked his assistant to call Zhao Mingyue over near noon.
Zhao Mingyue was obviously still angry, and there was anger on her face when she walked into Yan Nan's office.
"Manager Yan still remembers me? I thought Manager Yan only cared about the new designer Xiao?!"
Yan Nan ignored her sarcasm and said calmly, "Give half of the Qu's project you're working on to Xiao Muzhen."
Zhao Mingyue's face froze. She was about to refuse when she suddenly remembered that Xiao Muzhen didn't even have an assistant. If she was given half, she would definitely not be able to complete it.
"Okay, I'll go back and have my assistant divide the portions and send Xiao Muzhen's portion."
"Well, you and Xiao Sheji will be colleagues from now on. You'll see each other every day. Only by building a good relationship can you improve work efficiency."
Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly, "I don't need Manager Yan's guidance. I know all these social customs very well."
But when she saw Xiao Muzhen's face, she couldn't pretend to be friendly.
Moreover, what she did last time must not be known to others. Since Xiao Muzhen pretended not to know her, if anyone dared to tell her about it in the future, she could say that the other party was slandering her!
Soon, Zhang Qian delivered the orders assigned by Zhao Mingyue to Xiao Muzhen.
When the other party took the document, Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Designer Xiao, the deadline for this order is the 29th of the month."
