Xinyou Qiao looked calm, for she had already thought of this. With her fingers fondling the edge of the
blanket, she said softly, “Don’t refuse me immediately. How about this? Keep the money and I’ll contact
you then. If you don’t want to do it, you can return the money to me.”
Xinyou seemed to have a discussion with Zihang Lu, making him much less guarded, and he couldn’t
help but think that even if he didn’t agree to do it then, Xinyou couldn’t do anything to him. Then he
could get 50,000 yuan without doing anything. Why not?
Zihang had his own tricks, but he pretended to be willing and said, “Alright. If what you want me to do
violates my bottom line, I’ll give you the money back.”
“OK! Deal.” Xinyou had a satisfied smile on her face, stretching out her hand to shake Zihang’ s hand
and said, “It’s good being working with you.”
Zihang stretched out his hand too, finding that her arm was smooth and somewhat he wanted her. He
smiled and said, “Me too.”

Yehuang Mansion
Venus Mu heard from her colleagues in the morning that the results about the selection of work would
be released in the next two days. The work that got the most votes from the board would become this
year’s summer brand collection.
The sample of this work would be displayed at Yehuang clothing brand store counter and the name of
the designer would be displayed too.
With Yehuang’ s influence, this would undoubtedly be a huge gain for the creator.
Venus was concentrating on her work, forcing herself to be as calm as possible. Whether she
succeeded or not, she had done her best. She wanted herself to remain calm at all the time. “Win
without pride and to lose with grace.”
Just at this moment, the landline phone beside her rang, Venus pressed the answer button and then
Manager He’s voice came, “Venus, come to my office now.”
Venus was a little confused, but she still looked calm and said, “Okay, I’ll come right away.”
Xinyou, who was beside her, looked at Venus’s back, frowning. She always felt that there would be bad
news that would come out later.
Knocking on the office door and hearing a response from inside, Venus only then pushed the door and
walked in.
Stepping in front of Meiling He’s desk with a respectful attitude, she asked, “Manager He, what can I do
for you?”
Meiling looked up from the pile of documents on the table, and after seeing she looked relieved, she
said in a gentle tone, “The final results have come out. The meeting was held in this morning.”
Venus was a little nervous and she didn’t know what to say at the moment, so she just nodded.
Meiling saw her nervousness and she saying directly, “Yehuang is going to display your work—
‘floating’.”
Venus looked stunned, and then there was great joy inside her, which was shown on her face, but her
tone was still calm, “Manager He, I would like to ask, how did the board view my work?”
Meiling obviously didn’t expect her to ask such a question, and she looked at her with more admiration,
saying in a clear voice, “Venus, I appreciate your attitude. The board said that your work is very
imaginative and is more innovative than other works.”
Venus relieved and said, “Thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn’t be here today.”
Meiling shook her head and said, “You only need to thank yourself. Venus, you have talent and of
course, you’re not the most outstanding, but the most precious thing is that you have the normal heart.”
Venus understood her and then said, “Manager He, I will keep working.”
Meiling nodded and said, “You did a good job for me this time. As a reward, I’ll invite you and all the
employees of the department to eat at Luoyuxuan Restaurant.”
Venus smiled and said, “Thank you.”
“Well, go back to work.”
“OK.”
After Venus returned to her position for just a while, the news, as if it had wings, spread quickly to all
departments. Her colleagues all came to congratulate her, making Venus shy.
Xinyou frowned when she heard the news and her colleagues’ praise was harsh. It took a long time for
her to restrain her resentment.
Xinyou heard them say that Manager He had invited everyone to Luoyuxuan for dinner tonight,
including Kerry Ye.
