Sure enough, when I went to work the next day, as soon as I stepped into the department, I heard a group of people discussing me. The leader was naturally designer Zhu Lili.
Xia Zhichu didn't want to pay attention, but still heard some words unexpectedly.
"Xia Zhichu is a fence-sitter. Don't get too close to her in the future, or you might get betrayed without knowing it."
"That's right. If we make a small mistake, she might go to the higher-ups and complain."
"Yes, yes, yes. I see the new leader talks to her often. I guess she often makes things difficult for us."
"What's the big deal? I heard the new leader sent Xia Zhichu's work to the President's Office for review, intending to have her work selected for the Milan Fashion Show. It really is good to have a strong backer; you can even walk all over the Peak Group."
"Yes, yes, it can save us several years of hard work."
Everyone was chatting happily, and even looked up at Xia Zhichu from time to time.
Xia Zhichu just thought it was ridiculous. People say that people's words are scary, and there are no real friends in the office.
Sitting back at her seat, she opened her phone to check her messages, and unexpectedly, a reply appeared.
Xia Zhichu's depressed mood improved a little, and he quickly opened it and started reading.
"Good work, keep it up."
Although there were only six words, Xia Zhichu was still very excited.
After all, being recognized by others is the greatest honor for a designer.
This scene was still seen by the man in the president's office.
Yesterday, Lina sent him Xia Zhichu's work. Although he only took a glance at it, he was still shocked.
Especially after seeing Lina's design concept and the name of the work, Si Mochen felt that Xia Zhichu's excellence was unmatched. She just needed someone to discover her and let her shine in the design circle.
Derailment
The inspiration for this work actually came from a dream.
The key point is that this dream was caused by him.
Si Mochen looked at the work on the screen. The enchanting red color perfectly portrayed human nature.
The color of lust, like this touch of red, makes people fall for it and degenerate.
She designed this work because she heard Zhao Sichun's voice in the video and thought she was cheating?
Thinking of this, Si Mochen's thin lips curled up slightly.
He fished out his cell phone and contacted Lina directly.
He was busy with the meeting yesterday, and with all the nagging from Zhao Sichun and the pressure from the manor, he still hasn't replied to the text message from Lina. He even saw the one from Xia Zhichu in the early morning.
The call was quickly connected, and Lina's teasing voice came over, "Boss, you finally have time to talk to me? How's the work I sent you yesterday? Was it amazing?"
Si Mochen leaned back in his chair and hummed, "Not bad."
"Just good?" Lina was a little surprised, then laughed softly, "This is your wife's work, don't you want to fight for her and help her realize her dream faster?"
Lina had not yet mentioned to Si Mochen the idea of sending Xia Zhichu's works to the Milan Fashion Show for screening. She wanted to see how much Si Mochen cared about Xia Zhichu and how many exceptions he could make for her.
But she had just finished speaking when the man hesitated and said, "Didn't you make arrangements? Just do it according to your wishes."
"Do you need to open the back door?" Lina asked.
Si Mochen said calmly, "No need. I hope she can realize her dream with her own ability. Of course, I also believe that she has the ability."
Before, Si Mochen had thought about paving a smooth path for Xia Zhichu, but seeing how hard Xia Zhichu worked, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to let her create everything on her own.
After all, how can a fledgling truly grow unless it flies alone?
Besides, Xia Zhichu's abilities were obvious to all, so he didn't need his help at all.
So he planned to let her go by herself, and he would silently guard behind her and remove some obstacles for her.
"As expected of a big boss, you're confident and courageous enough. Okay, I'll submit my work. Whether it'll be selected depends on your wife's fate."
After Lina finished speaking, she briefly reported on the work for the next quarter's show and then hung up the phone.
When the man's voice disappeared from the microphone, the expression on her face disappeared instantly, and a layer of faint sadness covered her eyes.
No one knew her feelings for Si Mochen, she wanted to be more than just friends.
Kelina knew that she was not worthy of Si Mochen, so she always chose to help him behind the scenes.
This time, Si Mochen invited her back and announced the news of their marriage, which still surprised Lina.
She just wanted to see what kind of woman could make the aloof CEO lose his mind and do something like a flash marriage.
The result was quite unexpected.
Although Xia Zhichu had a shameful past, she was not inferior to anyone in ability and talent. In addition, her sensible and kind nature made her different from those arrogant and unruly daughters of nobles.
Perhaps it was because of Xia Zhichu's "specialness" that Si Mochen chose her.
Lina sighed, stood up with her coffee, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and just stared at the bustling city.
She is where she is today thanks to Si Mochen's help.
They have always maintained a perfect partnership. If this layer of window paper is broken, both of them will fall into an awkward situation and may even stop being friends.
Lina was a smart woman, and naturally knew that being friends was easier than being lovers. Since Si Mochen had chosen Xia Zhichu, why should she cling to this relationship that had no ending?
Si Mochen has used his connections to help her succeed, and now it's time for her to repay him.
As for Xia Zhichu, she is the person that Si Mochen has to take care of, and similarly, she will do her best to help her.
…
Because of the unpleasantness last night, Lily kept opposing Xia Zhichu today.
At noon, everyone went downstairs to eat, and Xia Zhichu followed along. After the meal, Xia Zhichu looked around and found that all the seats were full, except for Zhu Lili's table, which had an empty seat.
Xia Zhichu came over with the food, but Zhu Lili deliberately put her coat on the table. Her meaning was obvious: she didn't want Xia Zhichu to sit down.
Xia Zhichu didn't want to make things awkward, so he went to find another seat.
Fortunately, other colleagues had finished eating, so Xia Zhichu was able to sit down and eat.
From a distance, Xia Zhichu could hear Zhu Lili still criticizing him. Xia Zhichu pretended not to hear and concentrated on eating.
Suddenly, someone stood up and shouted, "Extra, Extra, the CEO is coming down for dinner."
When this news came out, all the female employees were upset.
Ever since the staff cafeteria opened, there have been constant rumors that the president would dine here. As a result, many female colleagues waited in the cafeteria every day, but never saw the president show up once.
So this time, everyone naturally thought it was fake news.
