Song Mai sighed helplessly, her gaze lingering on the cabinet in the corner.
This office is simple and elegant, but this one cabinet seems out of place.
She had asked Lin Ran, who said that this office used to be the Spanish department's office. Later, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they all moved out of here.
This office had been empty until Song Mai showed up here.
Everyone found it very strange at the time, wondering what charm this designer who came from afar had that could make Master Yun agree to let her use this office.
Just then, Lin Ran knocked on the office door.
"Designer Bai, the investors want to hold a meeting. I wonder if you have time now?"
Lin Ran spoke these words with a hint of disdain.
Presumably, this investor refers to Liu Jiaer, with whom he had a conflict.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai nodded slightly.
With Xie Wenwen not here today, unnecessary conflicts can be avoided.
When a group of people entered the office, Liu Jiaer was already sitting in the main seat, waiting for them.
She looked around, her gaze settling on Song Mai.
"It seems everyone is quite dissatisfied with me. We finally have a meeting, and everyone is late. I don't know if someone instructed me to do this, or if I'm just overthinking it."
She kept staring at Song Mai as she said these words, as if she were referring to something.
Song Mai sat casually to the side, pretending not to hear what she said.
Lin Ran was furious and about to speak when Song Mai stopped her.
Although Liu Jiaer is not a true investor, she is the person specifically designated by the investors to handle the handover with the Yunxing Group project team.
If things escalate too much, it will have a negative impact on both sides.
"If there are no further objections, the meeting will now officially begin."
Lin Ran was extremely disdainful of Liu Jiaer's arrogant and domineering manner, and she turned her head away.
Liu Jia'er witnessed this scene. She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, and her tone turned colder: "What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?"
Lin Ran took a deep breath, understanding the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer losses in front of him.
"No."
"So what's your attitude now? Do you think I'm unimportant just because there are other leaders in this project team?"
Liu Jia'er kept mentioning Song Mai, which made Lin Ran increasingly angry and embarrassed.
When Song Mai passed away, she and Su He were utterly shocked to learn that Song Mai's husband was none other than Master Yun.
But the person is gone, and there's no point in dwelling on these things.
However, in the years that Liu Jia'er had been by Master Yun's side, she had become increasingly arrogant, to the point that she wanted to completely replace Song Mai's position. The two of them had long been dissatisfied with her behavior, and now they could no longer tolerate it.
"Don't think you can act like a bully just because you're an investor. We haven't done anything wrong, yet you've been holding meetings time and time again. Aren't you just wasting your time?" Lin Ran, unable to bear it any longer, slammed the documents on the table in a fit of anger.
The loud noise made everyone present instinctively tremble.
They had long been dissatisfied with Liu Jiaer, and after spending time with Song Mai, they all realized who truly cared for them.
Not to be outdone, Liu Jiaer threw the documents on the table and shouted, "Do you look down on investors?"
"What kind of bullshit investor are you? You just won over Master Yun's mother and got the so-called investor title. But have you actually put up a single penny?"
Lin Ran stood up and looked directly at her.
Ever since Song Mai left, she has disliked Liu Jiaer.
Even if she were to fall out with her today and lose her job, Lin Ran would absolutely not have any complaints.
I'll get my revenge sooner or later, so I might as well take this opportunity to vent it today.
Liu Jia'er hadn't expected her to be so tough. She pointed at her angrily, stammering and unable to speak.
“Miss Liu has wasted so much of our time today, it’s time to stop this farce. We don’t need to stay here and play along with Miss Liu’s bullying tactics, everyone has their own things to do.” Song Mai was also gradually losing patience.
When facing Lin Ran and Su He, she couldn't help but feel a certain favoritism towards them.
I can't explain why I feel this way; perhaps it's because we click.
The other project team members also nodded in agreement. Seeing that she was about to become the target of everyone's criticism, Liu Jiaer could no longer bear it.
Do you think you're the only one in the world who can design?
She immediately thought of Song Xingchen.
Song Xingchen is a painter who also enjoys designing clothes.
By getting rid of Song Mai, the project can continue.
It is precisely because of this blind self-confidence that she can now so recklessly mock and ridicule Song Mai.
"Since your company doesn't welcome me, why waste my time here?"
Song Mai, unable to bear it any longer, even poached people directly in front of her: "My studio is about to open. If you are interested, you can discuss the specific salary with me at any time."
Without saying a word, Lin Ran immediately replied, "I'll go with you."
Su He, who arrived late, was equally defiant: "I'll go with you too."
The remaining project team members inevitably hesitated, after all, the compensation offered by Yunxing Group far exceeded that of all other companies in the country.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Song Mai didn't force them.
"If you've decided, you can come back to me anytime."
After saying that, she got up and prepared to leave with the two of them.
Liu Jia'er grabbed Lin Ran's hand and said angrily, "If you leave with this woman now, who knows what will become of you? Yunxing Group has given you so many benefits, don't you feel any attachment at all?"
"As long as someone like you is in the company, this company will always be a mess."
Bai Wan'er pulled Lin Ran's hand back immediately, resolutely protecting her.
The three of them left Yunxing Group in a huff, only realizing at the door that their actions might have been too radical.
"Now that you've made your decision, don't go back on it."
Bai Wan'er knew that Chu Yunxing would not easily let go of this project, and she could take this opportunity to negotiate with him.
Perhaps what I've done isn't exactly respectable, but it's the only way to generate buzz for the studio right now.
Sure enough, I received a call from Chu Yunxing that afternoon.
"Designer Bai, when are you planning to contact me?"
Song Mai smiled sheepishly: "Does Yunyan have time now?"
"certainly."
The two met at a restaurant, the same restaurant Song Mai brought Chu Yunxing to after receiving her bonus.
What are your plans next?
