Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the midnight entertainment venue, in a luxurious private room, seven-colored lights flickered in the dim light, against a backdrop of pulsating heavy metal music.

The door of the private room opened, and in stepped a man in a black suit. He was tall and straight, his hands tucked lazily into his pockets, exuding a powerful aura.

“Zhan Er Shao is here, quick, turn off the music,” Lu Chenyu immediately ordered the person controlling the music.

In an instant, the noisy scene quieted down.

Turning his head, Lu Chenyu met the cold gaze of Zhan Yeling, causing his lips to twitch. He quickly let go of the beauty in his arms, “Go, all of you leave.”

“But Mr. Lu, I haven’t had enough fun with you yet,” the lady protested, not wanting to miss out on spending time with such a rich young man.

Lu Chenyu, the scion of Lu Corporation, was a notorious playboy known for his generous spending. To be with him, even for a short while, could bring great wealth.

Hence, all the ladies at the midnight venue wished to catch Lu Chenyu’s attention.

Unfortunately, this wealthy young man feared no one, not even his own father, except for Zhan Er Shao.

Just one look from Zhan Er Shao, and he would obediently follow his orders.

And as for Zhan Er Shao, he was aloof and indifferent, showing no interest in women. Despite his handsome looks and wealth, no one had ever been able to get close to him.

“Get out now! Can’t you see Zhan Er Shao is getting upset?” Lu Chenyu angrily ordered, annoyed at their lack of awareness.

Soon, all the ladies were cleared from the scene.

“Ye Ling, shouldn’t you be at the Zhan family reunion dinner right now? How come you’re here with me?” Lu Chenyu moved to sit beside him and handed him a glass of red wine. “Don’t worry, no one else has touched this glass. It’s brand new.”

Knowing Zhan Yeling’s obsession with cleanliness, Lu Chenyu quickly added.

Zhan Yeling glanced at him, accepted the wine glass, and casually crossed his legs. He swirled the red liquid gently around the glass, “That’s the Zhan family’s reunion dinner, not mine.”

“You’re still not on good terms with the Zhan family, huh? You shouldn’t keep it up like this. You’ll eventually marry Ling Xiaoxiao,” Lu Chenyu said, a playful smile on his face.

Even he knew that old Master Zhan had arranged this marriage with the Ling family to mend the relationship with Zhan Yeling. The Ling family was highly respected by Master Zhan.

“Huh, I never acknowledged this engagement.” Zhan Ye Ling sneered dismissively.

The Zhan family wanted to use this engagement to show the world how much they cared about him. Well, they could keep up the act if they wanted to.

“Ye Ling, don’t tell me you don’t like Ling Xiaoxiao? She’s a real beauty. Many men would kill for a single smile from her, but they don’t get the chance,” Lu Chenyu realized something, “I get it. You have a mistress outside, right? I saw the video of you sleeping with another woman a few days ago. Don’t think just because you cleaned it up promptly, I didn’t see it. Come on, confess, who’s that woman?”

His words were cut off by the chilling gaze from Zhan Ye Ling. Scared, he quickly shut up.

“Pour me another,” Zhan Ye Ling handed him his empty glass.

Lu Chenyu poured him another glass, his curiosity burning brightly. He couldn’t hold back his curiosity, “Come on, tell me. I’m really curious. What kind of woman has managed to steal the heart of our Zhan Er Shao?”

Zhan Ye Ling simply drank his wine, ignoring him completely.

“I get it, you two are just casual flings. You don’t even know her background yet. Do you want me to help you investigate her?” Lu Chen Yu fearlessly provoked him.

“Shut up!”

With a cold voice, half a glass of red wine was splashed precisely onto Lu Chenyu’s face.

Instinctively closing his eyes, Lu Chenyu wiped the wine off his face with his hand. Opening his eyes, he met Zhan Yeling’s icy stare, which seemed to freeze people in their tracks.

His heart was pounding uncontrollably.

What had he said to anger Zhan Er Shao so much?

“If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful with your tongue!” Zhan Yeling left behind this threatening statement and got up to leave.

The breeze stirred up by his powerful aura brushed against Lu Chenyu’s face, making it feel chillingly cold.

Quickly, he covered his mouth, keeping silent, careful to not lose his tongue.

Strange, he had only made a joke, but it had angered Zhan Er Shao.

Did it feel like Zhan Er Shao was getting angry out of embarrassment?

Had he guessed correctly just now?

Oh my God, who could have thought that the normally reserved and silent Zhan Er Shao would one day become casual lovers with a woman he just met!

Lu Chen Yu looked as though he had discovered a new continent, his shocked expression was priceless.

The next day, after Su Mumu arrived, Xiong Miao hurried off to work.

At the office, her colleagues treated her with cold indifference.

“Xiao Chen, can you work on this fabric report this morning? Once you’re done, give it to me. I need to do an analysis,” Xiong Miao handed Xiao Chen some documents, simply assigning work as usual.

But Xiao Chen didn’t even accept them, “When Manager Zhang was here, the fabric report was already settled. There’s no need to redo it.”

“But this is not within our current design scope…” Xiong Miao’s words were cut off.

Xiao Chen scoffed, “If you’re not satisfied, then you can do it yourself.”

“What kind of attitude is that!” Xiong Miao was angered.

“What kind of attitude is that!” Xiong Miao was annoyed.

“Yeah, Manager Xiong. You’ve only been here for two days and you want to overturn all our previous work. You’re not really respecting our labor efforts, are you?” The other colleagues chimed in, taking Xiao Chen’s side.

“Manager Xiong, you’re fresh out of the gate and don’t know how hard we work. You can’t just squeeze our labor because you’ve had a sudden whim.”

Hearing these words, Xiong Miao could only laugh. She doesn’t know the hardships of work?

When she held multiple jobs, not only working but also taking care of six children, she didn’t complain even once when she was so tired she could hardly stand!

“The new product launch is in half a month, and your Manager Zhang has left a mess behind! You want to bluff President Zhan with these junk products? Do you think President Zhan is a fool?”

“You don’t know why some work needs to be redone, do you? Let me tell you, the fabric report you did earlier, a part of it is fictitious and doesn’t carry any practical significance. Some are even filling the numbers! It doesn’t align with the type of fabric our company needs! And these designs are half copied, copied from major international brands, outdated styles! We are designers, not copycats! If you can’t create original designs, then what are you doing in this company!”

Faced with the difficulties from her colleagues, Xiong Miao didn’t back down but logically explained and taught them.

Indeed, what Xiong Miao said was all true, and some colleagues were starting to feel a bit guilty. They had indeed been slacking off before.

However, Xiao Chen was the one who disagreed with Xiong Miao the most: “You say our designs are not good, then design them yourself! If you can’t do it, how can you deserve the position of manager!”
