Mrs. Li pulled her gaze back to Yu Xiaoxiao's face. Several seconds passed without her saying a word.
It was the first time for Yu Xiaoxiao to deal with such a wealthy lady. Even though she didn't say anything, she had an overbearing attitude. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and her heart was beating very fast.
The elevator door opened at this time. Seeing that the man called her but did not say anything, Mrs. Li immediately lost the desire to find out more. Her time was precious and there was no need to waste it on unimportant people, so she walked into the elevator.
Yu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she hurriedly followed in.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator, so it was convenient to talk.
"Mrs. Li, are you here today to see Engineer Xia to look at the design drawings?" Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and her voice was very gentle.
Mrs. Li didn't understand this person's purpose and was too lazy to speak.
Being ignored several times in a row, Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed and gave a dry laugh. "Don't get me wrong, I'm also an employee of Boya. Everyone in our company knows that you asked Engineer Xia to help design your private estate. But—" She acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, instantly piqued people's curiosity. "There's something that you, as someone outside the industry, may not know."
Mrs. Li looked at her suspiciously, and finally spoke: "What's the matter?"
The elevator just reached the first floor.
The hall was bustling with people, not a good place for conversation. Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy. After a moment's deliberation, she tried to suggest, "There's a coffee shop nearby. If you're not busy, I'd buy you a cup of coffee and I'll tell you more slowly."
Worried that Mrs. Li would not agree, Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and used one sentence to grasp the other party's psychology: "I promise, it will be something that will benefit you in renovating the manor."
Mrs. Li's car was parked in the open-air parking space outside the office building. When the driver saw her coming out, he quickly got out and opened the back door in advance. Mrs. Li made a gesture, and the driver understood and returned to the car to continue waiting.
Mrs. Li and Yu Xiaoxiao went to a nearby coffee shop.
On weekdays, there weren't many customers in the store. Looking through the glass door, there were only a few people around. Yu Xiaoxiao approached Mrs. Li attentively, opened the door for her, found a seat, and leaned over to ask, "What would you like to drink?"
Mrs. Li sat down, leaning lazily against the back of the chair, took off her sunglasses and placed them on the table. Without raising her eyelids, she said lightly, "Mocha."
"Okay, please wait." Yu Xiaoxiao went to the counter to place an order.
After the waiter prepared two cups of coffee, Yu Xiaoxiao took them over and smiled at Mrs. Li: "Your mocha."
Mrs. Li hooked her index finger around the handle of the coffee cup, picked it up, and took a sip nonchalantly. She glanced at the exquisite diamond-studded women's watch with lowered eyelids, looking impatient. "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I have other plans later."
Without even having time to drink her coffee, Yu Xiaoxiao leaned forward and lowered her voice: "I guess Engineer Xia didn't show you the design drawings today and asked you to wait patiently, right?"
Mrs. Li put down her coffee and then raised her eyelids to look at the young girl opposite her without saying yes or no.
By observing Mrs. Li's reaction, Yu Xiaoxiao concluded that she was right.
Even if Xia Xi was a god, it would be impossible for him to come up with a satisfactory design plan in such a short time.
Yu Xiaoxiao's tone became much more sincere. "You don't know, our Engineer Xia is currently in charge of a major project for the Xu Group. It won't be finished for three to five months. It's hard for her to spare the time to look after you. Although your project isn't small, it's still insignificant compared to Xu's. She'll definitely find all sorts of excuses to delay it, and when she finally reluctantly submits it, it's probably not satisfactory."
Mrs. Li frowned and muttered to herself, "Xu?"
"Yes, the richest man in South City." Seeing that things were going well, Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little excited and tried harder to persuade him, "You don't want your estate to be treated perfunctorily, do you?"
Mrs. Li rested her elbows on the armrests of her chair, her chin propped up, her expression thoughtful. She hadn't looked for any of the big firms, but had spent days researching online before choosing Boya, a small firm with a good reputation and a relatively new start, hoping they would take her seriously as a client.
She had taken great pains to choose the company and designer, but she never expected it to be so troublesome.
Mrs. Li was an impatient person. After thinking about it, she no longer had the good impression she had at the beginning towards Xia Xi.
Noticing the girl's eyes filled with anticipation, Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong: "You're an employee of Boya, why are you telling me this? Don't tell me it's because you're enthusiastic."
She's not that innocent yet.
Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands under the table and said unconvincingly, "Our company as a whole is still very excellent. I believe that Mrs. Li chose Boya after careful comparison."
"What do you want to say?"
"To be honest, besides Xia Xi, our company's other lead designers can also achieve the effect you want."
After all, snatching orders is not a glorious thing, so it is not easy to say it directly. Yu Xiaoxiao expressed it very tactfully.
Mrs. Li stared at her for a few seconds, shook her head and laughed: "Do you want me to hand this order over to you?"
"No, no, no." Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly, "I'm not a designer, I'm just an assistant."
Facing Mrs. Li's scrutinizing and judgmental eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed and she felt uneasy. She had the urge to flee, and even regretted taking this step. She swallowed and said slowly, "A project like yours requires at least a lead designer. I'm far from qualified. I hope you can carefully consider it before making a decision."
Apart from Xia Xi, there are not many designers in the company who are qualified to take on this project, and Gao Ge's qualifications give him the greatest chance of success.
If Gao Ge can complete this order, her salary as an assistant will naturally increase, and she will not be overshadowed by Huang Shiyu, who has just joined the company not long ago.
