Chapter 391: You’re Fired

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘I had done my best to help Ding Ziqiu, but it was ultimately his own fault for not seeing the light. If there were really issues with the clothes, I, the ardent fan of Qiyan Studio’s work, would be the first to stand up and defend her. Hadn’t I remained silent throughout today? Unbelievable.’ Ye Zhi thought.

Ding Ziqiu spun around sharply, his eyes piercing. He asked, “What did you say? Who’s the boss? Who’s Miss Rong?”

Ye Zhi lifted his chin, pointing at the woman standing in the center of the hall. “Behold, the real boss of Qiyan Studio. I never realized that Camellia—the person we were specifically instructed to find by our boss—was actually Rong Qi. If I had known, I would’ve done anything to meet Camellia sooner!”

“You’re saying the Camellia our boss wanted us to find is Miss Rong?” Ding Ziqiu asked.

“Yes,” Ye Zhi nodded.

Little did Ye Zhi know, his words had shocked everyone in the room, leaving them speechless.

Gu Yuyan was the most disbelieving among them. She inquired, “You’re telling me the boss of Qiyan Studio is Rong Qi?!”

Ye Zhi glanced at Gu Yuyan with a furrowed brow, nodded, and replied, “Yes.”

“But I’ve seen Qiyan Studio’s boss from a distance before; it was definitely a man! How could it be Rong Qi?”

Ye Zhi explained, “Qiyan Studio actually has two bosses. Camellia, or Rong Qi, is the true mastermind behind the scenes. The man you saw is my superior, Jian Yunyan. He’s Camellia’s brother and the operational head of Qiyan Studio.”

“This can’t be true,” Gu Yuyan stared at Rong Qi, disbelief etched on her face.

All Gu Yuyan’s efforts to connect with Qiyan Studio’s team and secure the partnership for Jingsheng Corporation seemed in vain now, as she discovered that the business she had fought so hard to partner with was her romantic rival’s studio.

Gu Yuyan felt like she was choking on her own outrage. She thought, ‘No wonder Rong Qi had been so calm from the start. How could she ever mistake her own studio’s creations? What a joke I’d made of myself, squabbling over this with Zheng Zhixuan and the others!’

Her chest heaving with vexation, Gu Yuyan looked over at Rong Qi. She found Rong Qi was also looking at her, a sly smile in her eyes.

Gu Yuyan finally understood; Rong Qi had been toying with them all along.

Angry enough to have a heart attack, Gu Yuyan watched as everyone else in the room looked at Rong Qi with a mix of envy and admiration.

Ding Ziqiu was disoriented, his face drained of color, lips trembling as he tried to force a smile. “Miss Rong, let me explain—”

“Ding Ziqiu, is it?” Rong Qi cut him off.

Ding Ziqiu nodded.

“Before you say another sycophantic word,” Rong Qi stated. “You’re fired. Qiyan Studio has no need for posers. Ye Zhi, let’s go.”

“Right on!” Ye Zhi nodded, trailing after Rong Qi with a skip in his step.

Ding Ziqiu stared after them, his voice trembling, “Miss Rong, no—boss, please give me another chance. I didn’t look into this matter closely, boss—”

Ding Ziqiu reached out to grab Rong Qi, but before his hand could touch her, a shadow emerged out of nowhere.

Xu Yi gripped Ding Ziqiu’s wrist tightly, a malevolent grin on his lips, and said, “You’re fired, loser. Don’t follow my Madam or I’ll cripple you.”

Ding Ziqiu winced under the pain, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but bit his lip to refrain from crying out.

With a cold laugh, Xu Yi flung Ding Ziqiu away, causing him to crash against a nearby pillar.

Ding Ziqiu looked as disheveled as his suit had once looked dapper.

The room burst into commotion as soon as they left, swarming Qiyan Studio’s designers, who were harassed by incessant chatter.

Even Mr. Gu hurriedly sent servants to stop Rong Qi..
