“Thank you for speaking to Boss Liao for me. I was able to submit to Siyi Company’s commandment because of you.”
What? Xue Feifei almost choked on her own fury.
Even though Lu Weixi had told her about this, hearing it firsthand still made her livid.
Back then, Lu Weixi had to buy a ticket worth two hundred thousand just to get onboard, yet his efforts fell short compared to a single, casual remark from Qin Zhigu.
He is Simon White. Although his words might not be the final hammer stroke, they’re not far off.
And to think he helped another, especially, this Cai Yiren. She glanced at her table, it was a shame that her cream vegetable soup was already removed, otherwise she would have loved to splash the whole bowl on their shameless faces!
She immediately sent a message to Lu Weixi: “That thing with Boss Liao from Siyi Company, are you still participating?”
Before Lu Weixi could reply, Qin Zhigu quickly clarified: “I didn’t actually speak for you, and I won’t choose you. China produces many talents, and you’re just one of the applicants. Moreover, you’re not the chief designer. Ultimately, it’s up to Boss Liao.”
At least he knows his place. Xue Feifei begrudgingly nodded.
Yes, China has many talents. She’s only a master’s degree holder from South Australia, and the designs are made by others. But, she understands Qin Zhigu. She can guide her team’s designs to align with his taste. None of the other designers possess this ability.
Cai Yiren didn’t argue either, she merely nodded with a smile: “Regardless, I feel very lucky. I didn’t expect to meet you again, and you even lent a helping hand.”
This time, Qin Zhigu turned to look at her, his expression somewhat serious, “Yes, you are fortunate. She didn’t participate.”
His statement left both Cai Yiren and Xue Feifei across the table stunned.
The “she” Qin Zhigu referred to wasn’t specified, but they both had an idea: Lu Weixi.
Last time on the ship, although Lu Weixi didn’t explicitly express her eager disposition, she implied refusal to collaborate with Qin Zhigu.
A little bit relenting, Cai Yiren questioned once more: “What if she were to plead to you?”
“Then I would do everything in my power to get her selected.” Qin Zhigu responded promptly without hesitation.
Cai Yiren always thought Qin Zhigu was strict about rules. For instance, although he was reluctant to help her, she could use the rules to ask him to put in a good word with Boss Liao.
But sometimes a man’s discipline can also be disregarded, only she wasn’t the one who could make him forego his principles, it was Lu Weixi.
If Lu Weixi asked for this project, she believed Qin Zhigu would happily yield.
Qin Zhigu added: “But given her character and capability, she wouldn’t beg me, nor does she need to.”
What else is there to say? There’s nothing else to be said. Cai Yiren didn’t say anything, and neither did Xue Feifei. She even paid the bill and left quietly without them noticing.
Back then, Qin Zhigu stood by Cai Yiren’s side while Xue Feifei was busy raising money for her father. She wished she could have hit him then. If only he had defended her unconditionally like he does now, how great would it have been?
The place where they dined was close to Yuechun Apartments, and she didn’t have to walk long to reach the entrance. Then she remembered the message, sure enough, she replied: “Not participating. What’s up.”
“Nothing, just feel it’s a bit of a pity.” Whether it’s the work, or them.
