Xinyou Qiao looked calm, for she had already thought of this. With her fingers fondling the edge of the blanket, she said softly, “Don’t refuse me immediately. How about this? Keep the money and I’ll contact you then. If you don’t want to do it, you can return the money to me.”
Xinyou seemed to have a discussion with Zihang Lu, making him much less guarded, and he couldn’t help but think that even if he didn’t agree to do it then, Xinyou couldn’t do anything to him. Then he could get 50,000 yuan without doing anything. Why not?
Zihang had his own tricks, but he pretended to be willing and said, “Alright. If what you want me to do violates my bottom line, I’ll give you the money back.”
“OK! Deal.” Xinyou had a satisfied smile on her face, stretching out her hand to shake Zihang’ s hand and said, “It’s good being working with you.”
Zihang stretched out his hand too, finding that her arm was smooth and somewhat he wanted her. He smiled and said, “Me too.”

Yehuang Mansion
Venus Mu heard from her colleagues in the morning that the results about the selection of work would be released in the next two days. The work that got the most votes from the board would become this year’s summer brand collection.
The sample of this work would be displayed at Yehuang clothing brand store counter and the name of the designer would be displayed too.
With Yehuang’ s influence, this would undoubtedly be a huge gain for the creator.
Venus was concentrating on her work, forcing herself to be as calm as possible. Whether she succeeded or not, she had done her best. She wanted herself to remain calm at all the time. “Win without pride and to lose with grace.”
Just at this moment, the landline phone beside her rang, Venus pressed the answer button and then Manager He’s voice came, “Venus, come to my office now.”
Venus was a little confused, but she still looked calm and said, “Okay, I’ll come right away.”
Xinyou, who was beside her, looked at Venus’s back, frowning. She always felt that there would be bad news that would come out later.
Knocking on the office door and hearing a response from inside, Venus only then pushed the door and walked in.
Meiling nodded and said, “You did a good job for me this time. As a reward, I’ll invite you and all the employees of the department to eat at Luoyuxuan Restaurant.”
Venus smiled and said, “Thank you.”
“Well, go back to work.”
“OK.”
After Venus returned to her position for just a while, the news, as if it had wings, spread quickly to all departments. Her colleagues all came to congratulate her, making Venus shy.
Xinyou frowned when she heard the news and her colleagues’ praise was harsh. It took a long time for her to restrain her resentment.
Xinyou heard them say that Manager He had invited everyone to Luoyuxuan for dinner tonight, including Kerry Ye.
