“If it weren’t for Zhan Dashao being abroad, Zhan Yeling wouldn’t have had a chance to be the person in charge of Zhan family,” one of the employees whispered.

“You can’t be so sure. Zhan Yeling is ruthless and bloodthirsty. Didn’t the third son try to compete for the position of head of the Zhan family? Zhan Yeling broke his leg, he’s still lying in the hospital. The family can’t let a cripple to take charge.”

Xiong Miao wasn’t surprised to hear this. She knew all too well about Zhan Yeling’s bloodthirsty nature. Breaking someone’s leg was something he was certainly capable of.

“Stop the gossip, everyone. Let’s clean up and have a meeting in the conference room.” Xiong Miao stepped forward, interrupting their ‘party’.

The crowd dispersed, but some still looked at Xiong Miao with disdain, returned to their seats and continued chatting.

“She thinks she’s powerful just because she has a wealthy backer. President Zhan only sees her as a plaything.”

“Yeah, can’t wait for the day she gets her leg broken.”

Xiong Miao felt a headache coming. Ever since her first day as the design manager, no one had ever obeyed her. Being alone and unsupported made managing difficult.

Fortunately, due to a previous bet, the employees led by Xiaochen all went into the meeting room. Xiong Miao displayed her design on the screen. “This design has been approved by President Zhan. I need everyone’s cooperation to produce all the final products within a week.”

“Because in a week, we will be having a new product launch.”

Xiao Chen, also a design student, was stunned by the design projected on the screen. It was a breath of fresh air, a masterpiece compared to the previous one. She couldn’t believe that Xiong Miao could design such a soulful piece in just one day!

“Xiao Chen, do you have something to say?” Xiong Miao asked, noticing Xiao Chen’s shocked expression.

Snapped out of her surprise, Xiao Chen looked away from the projector, hiding her astonishment, and feigned indifference, “What could I possibly have to say? I’m just glad President Zhan approved it so our work wouldn’t go to waste.”

“Don’t worry, I showed it to President Zhan, and he said we could start production.” Xiong Miao knew the employees were still unconvinced, so she used Zhan Yeling to persuade them.

“Alright then, assign the work,” Xiao Chen said.

And so, Xiong Miao assigned everyone their tasks. After the meeting, she felt a throbbing headache and a cold coming on. She must have caught a cold from attending the banquet and getting caught in the evening breeze yesterday.

As she was busily working, she received a call from Gu Yi.

“Manager Xiong, come to the headquarters.”

“What’s the matter?” The thought of possibly seeing Zhan Yeling made Xiong Miao nervous.

“You’ll know when you get here.” Gu Yi hung up after saying this.

It was one of those commands that she couldn’t refuse. Could she say no? Sighing, she thought about her salary, and decided to go. After all, she was just a poor fairy.

Xiong Miao turned off her computer, put on her coat, and left.

As she was waiting for the bus, a silver Mercedes stopped next to her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Zhan Zifeng’s handsome and gentle face, “Xiong Miao, where are you headed?”

Xiong Miao was a bit surprised to see him here, “I’m on my way to Rich Corporation.”

“What a coincidence, I’m heading there too. Get in, I’ll give you a ride.” Zhan Zifeng’s gentle smile always gave off a kind and warm feeling.

Xiong Miao sighed.

What a stroke of luck, he just happened to pass by here, was headed to the Rich Corporation, and could give her a ride.

Everything seemed to align just perfectly.
