Chapter 353: Triumphant
Zhao Mingyue's eyes were full of shock. She had thought that Xiao Muzhen would take the opportunity to embarrass her, but she didn't expect that he would let her go so easily.
She turned to look at Huo Yunting, "Boss Huo, Xiao Sheji has forgiven me. Can you let Zhao go?"
Huo Yunting glanced at Xiao Muzhen. He didn't expect that her personality had changed so much in recent years. If it were in the past, she would never let Zhao Mingyue go easily.
"Since Xiao Sheji is willing to forgive you, I have nothing to say."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yan Nan quickly said, "Designer Zhao, please go back to your workstation first. I'll call you if there's anything else."
"good."
Zhao Mingyue didn't dare to say anything more. She lowered her head and quickly left the meeting room.
But Xiao Muzhen saw that the moment she lowered her head, her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.
Xiao Muzhen smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Qu Ling's gaze moved between Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen. He seemed to understand something, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Designer Xiao, I just took a quick look at your design and it's amazing. Could you please introduce your design to us?"
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Okay."
In the next half hour, Xiao Muzhen introduced to several people the inspiration and design ideas for these designs.
"Before I drew the design, I looked at Qu's clothing styles and customer groups. Qu's target customers are middle-aged ladies. This type of customer is not very receptive to avant-garde designs and pays special attention to details. So I focused on details and micro-innovations. For example, this piece has a ring design at the waist, which is elegant and gentle. And this one..."
After Xiao Muzhen finished speaking, Qu Ling clapped his hands in satisfaction and said, "Designer Xiao, I really like all of your designs. In the future cooperation between our company and Qingshang, I hope you will be the chief designer."
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head and said, "Mr. Qu, your company's chief designer is Zhao Sheji now. I'm new here and need some time to grow. I'm afraid I can't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qu Ling, "No, I believe in your ability, Manager Yan, what do you think?"
Under Qu Ling's expectant gaze, Yan Nan had no choice but to nod, "Mr. Qu is the client, so naturally we will follow Mr. Qu's arrangements."
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Qu Ling looked at Xiao Muzhen with admiration. No wonder she could attract Huo Yunting's attention. She was indeed a capable woman.
However, he felt that Xiao Muzhen looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
He must have seen her, but he suddenly couldn't remember her.
Noticing Qu Ling's gaze, a cold light flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. It seemed that Qu Ling and Xiao Muzhen could not meet alone in the future. He didn't want to suddenly have a love rival before he could bring her back.
After agreeing on the cooperation, Yan Nan asked Xiao Muzhen to send Qu Ling and Huo Yunting down, while he called Zhao Mingyue into the office.
After going downstairs, Huo Yunting asked Qu Ling to leave first. He turned to look at Xiao Muzhen and said, "I helped you today. How do you plan to thank me?"
Xiao Muzhen looked at him expressionlessly, and said word by word, "Boss Huo, even if it wasn't you today, I still have a way to resolve this matter. I didn't ask you to meddle in other people's business, so I don't owe you a favor."
Hearing her mockery, Huo Yunting didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Let's forget about it this time. We'll have many opportunities to get along in the future anyway."
Xiao Muzhen frowned and said coldly: "Mr. Huo, I don't like others treating me as a substitute, so I won't have any intersection with you. I hope that when I see you in the future, you can pretend not to know me."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Looking at her back, Huo Yunting smiled and was not in a hurry to explain everything to her now. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.
"Everyone's gone, and you're still looking? Why didn't I realize you had the potential to be a pervert before?"
Huo Yunting gave him a cold look, ignored him and walked straight towards his car.
Qu Ling chased after him with a smile, "Don't be angry, you finally met someone you like in these years. If you need help, I can help you pursue her."
The moment he finished speaking, Huo Yunting's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"No, stay away from her!"
After saying that, Huo Yunting got into the car and left.
Qu Ling watched his car disappear from his sight and raised his eyebrows. If he didn't want him to help, he would help anyway.
Just as Qu Ling was thinking about how to create an opportunity for Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen to meet, a sudden idea flashed in his mind and he suddenly remembered where he had seen Xiao Muzhen.
Her face was 80% similar to the woman Huo Yunting had brought out a few times...her name seemed to be Chi Xuan!
He knew that Huo Yunting didn't care about Chi Xuan before, and he was also face-blind, so when he saw Xiao Muzhen just now, he just felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her. Only now did he suddenly remember her.
But how come Chi Xuan and Xiao Muzhen look exactly alike?! And Huo Yunting is very cold towards Chi Xuan, but he clearly likes Xiao Muzhen.
In just a few seconds, Qu Ling imagined a bloody love triangle in his mind. Chi Xuan liked Huo Yunting, Huo Yunting liked Xiao Muzhen, but Xiao Muzhen didn't want to pay attention to him. In order to be with Huo Yunting, Chi Xuan had plastic surgery to look like Xiao Muzhen, so Huo Yunting treated Chi Xuan as Xiao Muzhen's stand-in?
Thinking of this, Qu Lingfeng was confused, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen had just returned to the office when Zhao Mingyue pushed the door in angrily.
She frowned. This man was too rude. Didn’t the Zhao family teach her to knock on the door before entering someone else’s office?
"Xiao Muzhen, I really underestimated you. I thought you had truly forgiven me, but I didn't expect you were planning to play dirty tricks behind my back!"
"What shady trick did I use?"
Zhao Mingyue sneered, "I was the one designated by Qu's as the chief designer before. You just arrived, and you've already made Qu Ling change his mind. Did you sleep with Qu Ling, so he gave you the position of chief designer?"
Xiao Muzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at her in disbelief.
She mainly didn't expect that Zhao Mingyue would be so stupid.
"Your own design drawing skills are inferior to others, so you think that others have achieved their success by sleeping with others. Using this kind of mentality to speculate about others, I have begun to doubt whether you have done such a thing. Otherwise, how could you know so clearly?"
Zhao Mingyue's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Say it again!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled slightly. "No matter how many times I say this, I'm just too lazy to bother with you. The deadline for the design drawing is clearly today, but you had your assistant tell me it's the 29th. If I tell this to Manager Yan, he'll probably hate you even more, right?"
Zhao Mingyue's pupils shrank suddenly, "You bitch!"
She took two steps forward and raised her hand to slap Xiao Muzhen.
However, as soon as his hand was raised in the air, Xiao Muzhen grabbed his wrist.
“Bang!”
Zhao Mingyue was slapped to the ground, covering her burning left cheek with anger in her eyes, "How dare you hit me!"
"You dare to raise your hand, why shouldn't I dare to hit you?"
"Do you know I'm President Zhao's daughter?! Believe it or not, if I go to my dad and complain, you'll be kicked out immediately!"
Xiao Muzhen looked at her indifferently, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Mingyue thought she was scared and sneered, "Apologize to me immediately! And slap yourself ten times, and I'll let you go!"
"Zhao Sheji, I suggest you see a neurologist. You've probably been too deeply poisoned by idol dramas. If you don't get treatment, your IQ will remain like this for the rest of your life."
