Sweetness Overload: Mr. Huo’s Wife Offended Him - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Shan Shi Jewelry

“How did it go today?”

Quan Meng looked at her dirty face, torn stockings, and broken heels. “Not that well.”

She took off her shoes and slumped in the passenger seat.

“Do you think I’m really the kind of person who can’t find a job after leaving Quan Enterprise?” Quan Meng wasn’t stupid. She had approached practically all the big and small companies in City B, but not a single company was willing to hire her. What reason could there be other than the Quan family pulling some strings behind the scenes?

“I didn’t understand the previous you,” Huo Ling said indifferently. “But after these few days of interaction, I realized that you’re much stronger than those pampered young ladies I know.”

“For example?” Quan Meng’s curiosity was piqued by Huo Ling.

“For example, your cooking is very good,” Huo Ling said.

“Well, thanks a lot. The housekeeper’s cooking is also very good.” Quan Meng rolled her eyes vehemently.

“You’re also very magnanimous, and you’re very talented in design. You’re quite lucky too,” Huo Ling continued.

“Finally, you’ve said something palatable.” Quan Meng pursed her lips. She had to admit that she was talented in design, but she couldn’t see how she was lucky.

If she was really lucky, how come not a single company was willing to hire her after she had approached so many companies for an entire day?

Perhaps it was her lucky break at this moment. Quan Meng’s phone suddenly rang. She opened it and found that it was an email. It was a recruitment invitation from Shan Shi Jewelry.

“Huo Ling, you’re amazing!” Quan Meng was a little excited, and the earlier feeling of disappointment was instantly dispelled.

Shan Shi Jewelry was a jewelry brand that had only become famous in recent years, but it was very popular both at home and abroad. The headquarters of Shan Shi Jewelry happened to be in City B. Previously, Quan Meng had wanted to submit her resume to Shan Shi Jewelry, but when she saw that they had no intention of hiring a designer at all, she gave up.

To her surprise, Shan Shi Jewelry was now inviting her to join them as an independent designer. Quan Meng did not even dare to think about it.

“Wait a minute,” Quan Meng suddenly realized that something was wrong. When the characters for “Shan” and “Shi” were put together, they formed the word “Yan”.

Furthermore, there was a striking character “Yu” on the letter of appointment.

“Is this Yu Yan’s company?” Quan Meng showed Huo Ling her phone screen.

“Yes.” Huo Ling only took a glance.

“Did you ask him to take me in?” Quan Meng was very happy that she could be hired by Shan Shi Jewelry, but if she had to go through the back door, then she would rather not join them.

“I only sent your resume to their company.

They hired you because they saw your ability. Didn’t you see that they were looking for an independent designer when you were looking for a job?”

Huo Ling’s words made Quan Meng’s face turn red. It might be because she had just woken up and was overwhelmed by the news that she had overlooked that point.

“Thank you, Huo Ling.” Quan Meng decided to be good and thanked Huo Ling very sincerely. “If you want to thank me, then make braised pork ribs tonight.’ “Alright!” With that, Quan Meng looked through the letter of appointment over and over again, smiling happily. However, she did not notice the smile that appeared on Huo Ling’s face after seeing her smile.

The next day, Quan Meng came fully prepared to the entrance of Shan Shi Jewelry. She showed her letter of appointment to the reception and was then taken to the administrative work area.

To her surprise, she was assigned a semi-open studio.

The whole place was decorated very simply. There was some very nice greenery decorating the window sill and the office desk, not to mention the comfortable seats and the floor-to-ceiling windows with an excellent view.

“Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the design director, Hu Wen. You can just call me Wen.” A professional-looking woman with short hair dressed in a pantsuit extended her hand and introduced herself to Quan Meng. She then introduced a bald man who looked to be in his thirties next to her. “This is another independent designer of ours, Li Fen. His office is right next to yours.”

“Hello, I’m the new independent designer. My name is Quan Meng.” Quan Meng politely shook hands with the two of them.

Hu Wen displayed an appropriate smile on her face the whole time. On the other hand, the disdain on Li Fen’s face was very obvious. “Even though your letter of appointment has already told you what you need to do, I still have to explain it to you. An independent designer works independently outside of the design department, but you still need to participate in some projects. I’ll let you know the details later. Is that okay?”

It was obvious that Hu Wen had worked for many years and was very experienced. After Li Fen left, she reminded Quan Meng in a low voice, “Li Fen isn’t bearing any ill will against you. He just thinks that you’ve landed this job here through some connections. After all, he’s the only independent designer for such a long time. Don’t take it to heart. When the time comes, just show him that you can do it with your own abilities.”

“I got it. Thank you, Wen!”
