The Sparkle of A Lifetime - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Don’t Need to Help Me Save

However, everyone had a selfish side to them. Everyone would compare themself to someone else and get jealous of others.

Yan Yiren could never understand. While Ling Yunhuan received a monthly allowance of 800 dollars due to her parents’ painstaking efforts to save, she received a monthly allowance of 10000 dollars. She could never understand how heart-wrenching it was. The cost of Yan Yiren’s clothes amounted to Ling Yunhuan’s living expenses for a month.

Even though she had never discriminated against her, nor looked down on her, the inferiority complex had taken root in Ling Yunhuan long ago. She had sworn that one day she would have a better life than Yan Yiren’s.

Ji Hanjiang’s appearance in her life, and the fact that he had got together with Yan Yiren because of the concert, made Ling Yunhuan’s jealousy spike even further. It had become uncontrollable.

In her subconscious mind, she had claimed Ji Hanjiang as hers. After all, she was the one who had wanted to go to the concert.

Yan Yiren was supposed to be just a foil but ultimately became the main lead. How could she ever get over her indignance?

If Ji Hanjiang had just been a normal, handsome man, she would’ve just let it go. But he wasn’t!

He was the only heir to the Ji Group. He was Young Master Ji, the President of Ji Group, with assets worth over two billion USD.

If two billion dollars were to be converted to cash, it could even crush someone to death!

The person in the most favorable position would win. Just by making use of her identity as Yan Yiren’s bestie, she had numerous opportunities to get closer to Ji Hanjiang.

Hard work never turned its back on anyone. She finally succeeded in forming a casual relationship with a drunk Ji Hanjiang.

Getting into Ji Group was just the first step. If Ji Hanjiang and Yan Yiren wanted to get married, they’d have to see if she was willing to agree to it first.

…

During the meeting, Ji Hanjiang looked through the proposal, as well as two preliminary plans. He rejected all of them.

“It’s not creative enough. The contextual design feels like it’s just bluntly pushing forward. And the gravest mistake is that the design doesn’t match Ji Group’s products.” Ji Hanjiang was undoubtedly great at what he did. He didn’t hesitate in delivering such words, even in front of Yan Yiren.

Yan Yiren was a little disappointed. The team had worked on the proposal and the preliminary plans for days and nights. She never would have thought that they would have all been rejected.

She immediately felt a little dejected. ” We’ve noted down your opinions, Mr. Ji. We’ll do our best to improve on it as we go along.”

Ji Hanjiang chuckled, shifting his head to gaze at Yan Yiren. “Not all of it is unacceptable. It’s just that the Ji Group has always had high expectations and high standards. For our advertising campaigns, we’ve always valued the quality of our works, no matter how we’re related to our business partners. I hope you guys understand.”

Giving a carrot after the stick. Not only did it reassure people, but it also served to motivate the people at Yuan Jia further.

If they were to be able to come up with an advertising campaign Ji Group was satisfied with, then Yuan Jia would surely make a name for themselves in the industry this time around.

Yan Yiren turned her gaze away from him, speaking in a very official and formal manner. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ji, we’ll definitely do our best to come up with a campaign Ji Group can be pleased with.”

“Then we’ll be looking forward to Yuan Jia’s performance.” Ji Hanjiang rose to his feet. “You’ve worked hard, everyone. Lunch shall be my treat.”

The employees of Yuan Jia cheered. After thanking Ji Hanjiang, they thanked Yan Yiren with a discerning look in their eyes.

Yan Yiren felt herself turn red. “What are you thanking me for? I’m not the one treating you.”

“Yiren, we all know that Mr. Ji is only treating us to lunch on your account so don’t be embarrassed. Aren’t we right, Mr, Ji?”

Ji Hanjiang waltzed to Yan Yiren’s side, placing his hand on her shoulder. “That’s right. Feast till your heart’s content, everyone. You don’t need to help me save.”

…

After that fateful day in the office, Ji Hanjiang hadn’t looked for her for a few days.

Because of this, Ling Yunhuan not only thought things over but also reflected on herself.
