Stop There, Daddy

“Oh my God, you’ve finished it already?” Vice-president Liang arrived at the company very early. Normally, they wouldn’t come until nine or even ten o’clock. They came here so early because they wanted to help, but to their amazement, Wen Shuyue and He Siming had gotten everything settled.

They all found it incredible. Clearly, it had never crossed their minds that Wen Shuyue could work with such high efficiency in these circumstances. Now they had even greater faith in Wen Shuyue’s competence. She had indeed gotten this position on her own merits.

Wen Shuyue’s face became sallow because of sleep deprivation, but she still forced a smile and said to the others earnestly, “This time we must keep the design safe. I worked my ass off to get this done. We must do everything we can to perfect it and ensure our success.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the rest. You guys may go back and have some rest. We won’t let you down.” Vice-president Liang’s eyes reddened. She was filled with admiration for Wen Shuyue.

So far Wen Shuyue was the only one who had done such an excellent job. Besides, she had completed the task almost unassisted, which struck her colleagues as staggering.

Wen Shuyue shook her head, her tone heavy with manifest determination and seriousness. “I have to attend today’s press conference because this is my design, and I’m the only one who can make them understand it better. It’s not that I don’t trust you guys. I’m doing this because we cannot afford to lose.”

“Alright, then you may have some rest right here.” Vice-president Liang did not argue with Wen Shuyue and obeyed, which was rather uncharacteristic of her.

After all, none of them had what it took to accept full responsibility. Besides, Wen Shuyue was the one who would be held responsible if it didn’t work, so none of the others couldn’t make a decision for her.

But He Siming would have to tough it out. As Wen Shuyue refused to go back home, he decided to stay as well. He spent the whole morning keeping Wen Shuyue company. The two of them went to the lounge to rest.

Wen Shuyue was almost lying bonelessly in He Siming’s embrace. It was as if only when staying with him would she feel at ease. Though having slept for only two or three hours, Wen Shuyue felt very content.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door.

He Siming lifted his head to glance at the door before he said blandly, “Is the product launch about to begin?”

“Yes, the chairman asked me to tell Ms. Wen.”

Though He Siming had done his best to get Wen Shuyue more time to rest, now it was time she showed herself. Resigned, he woke her.

“The product event is about to begin. You should go.” He Siming gave her a gentle push. Though he did it gently, Wen Shuyue still woke.

She opened her eyes and looked at him groggily, her face full of contentment. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist like a koala and said languidly, “Yeah. I need to make a last-ditch attempt. Stay here and wait for me, okay? I’ll be back in half an hour at the latest.”

“Just go.”

He Siming rubbed her head hard. He leaned his head closer with the intention to kiss her lips, but Wen Shuyue didn’t notice, rose and directly walked off.

This was a very important day for MK. None of them wanted their efforts to be in vain. Wen Shuyue pulled out all the stops, and the presentation was a great success.

Qin Weiwei and Lu Junhan had come very early, presumably to see Wen Shuyue disgrace herself. However, to their disbelief, eventually, they found that those people liked Wen Shuyue’s new design very much. It was as if they had forgotten her first one.

“Damn it. Since when did this woman become so badass? We stole her design. How did she come to devise a new one in such a short time?” Qin Weiwei’s face contorted with jealousy, and she sank her long fingernails into her palms unawares.

Lu Junhan had an ugly look on his face as well. After hearing Qin Weiwei’s words, he became even angrier and said contemptuously, “You two are both women. How come there’s such a big difference between you two? I can’t believe I was so stupid as to choose you over her. If you hadn’t incited me, she and I would definitely have become a sweet couple.”

“Lu Junhan, what do you mean by that? I only did you one injustice, but think of what you did to me. How many kept women do you have? You have bedmates everywhere, and yet you have the nerve to blame me?” Qin Weiwei finally lost her cool. She pointed at Lu Junhan and began to dress him down.

The two of them kept quarrelling, seemingly having forgotten those in the vicinity. Those people watched the two of them having an internecine struggle, finding it very interesting. Some of them even made out their words.

“So that design of theirs was a stolen one?”

“I think so. The other day MK sent word out that their design got stolen, remember? I can’t believe it was the Lu group’s doing. They stole her design but eventually still got outdone. What a bunch of good-for-nothings.”

“Guys, let’s take some pictures of them. We must expose these scum’s despicable actions.”

“…”

Many reporters clustered around the two of them. Lu Junhan and Qin Weiwei instantly became the focus of attention. Wen Shuyue, standing on the stage, clearly noticed it as well. Her lips curved in a smug smile.

She had anticipated that the pair would succumb to the temptation and come, which was why she had sent word out about the theft of her design. It surprised her that the two of them would be so stupid as to dig their own graves.

The product launch of MK turned out to be very successful. Their design took the fancy of many companies. There were even a number of rich company owners offering to cooperate with them, including Manis and the Gong group.

“Ha-ha. I never thought you had this in you, girl. It would seem I underestimated you. Shuyue, I’m sorry for having belittled you. Please forgive me.” President Gu beamed from ear to ear and kept apologizing to Wen Shuyue.

Wen Shuyue was indeed the one responsible for the loss, so she, naturally, had no reason to accept the president’s apology. She promptly said, “You don’t have to do this, President Gu. It’s my bounden duty. I’m so happy I didn’t cause your company any losses.”

“Well, well, well. Now I finally understand why my son holds you in such high regard. You’re indeed a rare talent. I’d be delighted if you continue to work for my company,” President Gu said earnestly.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

In fact, he had already told Wen Shuyue to resign. If it weren’t for He Siming’s intervention, none of these things would have happened.
