Mi Nuo studied Ji Chen suspiciously. Ji Chen misunderstood her intentions and checked to see that his surroundings were clear before lowering his voice and saying, “I’ll tell you something that you can’t tell anyone else.”

After Mi Nuo heard this, her eyes widened. Then Ji Chen said, “Zhuang Nainai is Gu Qingyan. She’s the Imperial Group’s Mrs. Si! Now you understand, right?”

Mi Nuo feigned a shocked expression. She clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped, “Executive Assistant Ji, this, this isn’t a joke, right? She’s… she’s Mrs. Si?”

Ji Chen nodded. “Their tiff has caused so much disturbance in the internal department. But is Mr. Si the kind of person who would allow someone else to bully his wife? So, now you understand what you’ve done wrong, don’t you?”

Mi Nuo immediately nodded, then gasped in shock again, “Then, then I even said that she stole the design drafts, this, this…”

After she said this, her eyes turned red again. She looked terrified.

After Ji Chen saw her terrified expression, he sighed. She was, after all, a young lady. She was young and she couldn’t handle so many surprises in one go.

Thus, Ji Chen patted her shoulders. “Alright, whatever happened in the past is in the past now. Don’t bring up whatever reflection and the company’s regulations and rules from now on!”

Mi Nuo nodded, then tried to probe Ji Chen for further clues. “Then what should I do now?”

Ji Chen replied, “You don’t have to take any special action. You can just wait upon Madam. Don’t let her get upset with anything happening within the company. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy for Sir to get Madam to return to work this time around.”

After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but heave a long sigh. It was so difficult being an assistant!

Mi Nuo waited for Ji Chen to leave before she closed the door. She was shaking with anger.

She stood in the middle of her office and violently swept everything on her table off onto the floor!

Zhuang Nainai!

Mr. Si had asked her to return to the office! And Mi Nuo had to appease her now?

Mi Nuo took two steps back and collapsed on her couch. Her gaze was deep as she fixed it on the items on the floor and drifted deep into her own thoughts.

“Knock knock knock!” There was a series of knocks at the door, then it was pushed open. Li Li’s voice called out, “Director Mi, the drafts…”

Before she could finish speaking, Mi Nuo whipped her head around. After seeing Mi Nuo’s expression, Li Li’s voice was caught in her throat, and she started to feel as though her hair was standing on end!

But once she had snapped back to her senses, Mi Nuo’s expression had reverted to her usual warm smile. Li Li wondered if what she just saw was a figment of her imagination.

Mi Nuo asked, “Is something the matter?”

Li Li nodded. “Director Mi, regarding TZ’s design drafts, our company can’t use them no matter what. Didn’t you say that you will think of an alternative? Our design drafts for this year’s leading style haven’t been completed yet, but the preparation for everything else has been completed. I’m here to ask, which is the leading piece for the clothing design department? Are you finished with the drafts?”

When she brought up the design drafts, Mi Nuo’s eyes narrowed again. A rush of annoyance bubbled up within her, and she could not help but wet her cracked lips with her tongue.

She was being asked to produce a leading style within a short period of time. Did they think she had superpowers?

However, everyone in the company thought that she, indeed, had the ability to do so. After all, she had clinched the “outstanding award” in the world-renowned Starlight Design competition!

And the thing about inspiration was that it was elusive — it didn’t come to you just because you wished for it!

Mi Nuo was annoyed to no end. How was she supposed to come up with a number of design drafts?

But then she suddenly recalled what Ji Chen had said. It was Si Zhengting who had requested for Zhuang Nainai to return to the company…
