"Wen Yin."
"Are you sure you want me to stay?"
There was a complex look in Shao Yinan's eyes that Wen Yin couldn't decipher. There seemed to be hidden waves churning within, as if they were about to engulf her at any moment.
"The guest room next door can be made habitable with a little tidying up."
Wen Yin blinked her eyes. Her clear pupils showed that she hadn't thought too much about it.
Shao Yinan pursed his lips, forcing down the restlessness in his heart. He nodded rather coldly.
She had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Wen Yin stood in front of Shaohua. She took out her phone and checked her slightly swollen lips.
"Is he a dog?"
Wen Yin gritted her teeth and thought expressionlessly.
Next time, even if Shao Yinan was on the streets, she wouldn't take him in again.
Seeing that the elevator was about to arrive, Wen Yin quickened her steps involuntarily.
The icon on the display was still flashing. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a figure beside her.
After catching a glimpse of Shao Yuanjia's smiling lips from the corner of her eye, Wen Yin calmly glanced at the general manager's elevator.
"What a coincidence, Miss Wen."
Shao Yuanjia greeted Wen Yin without looking at her.
Even though he didn't turn his head, Wen Yin vaguely felt his eyes lingering on her.
That sticky feeling, like being stared at by a venomous snake, returned.
"What a coincidence."
Wen Yin replied indifferently.
With Shao Yinan away, she had nothing to talk to Shao Yuanjia about.
She didn't even want to maintain the pretense anymore.
"Ding—"
The elevator doors slowly opened in front of them. They were the only two people in the small enclosed space.
You could hear a pin drop in the silence.
The elevator doors opened and closed again. Shao Yuanjia watched Wen Yin's back.
The corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.
How interestingly cold.
As soon as Wen Yin returned to her office, she heard the other designers chatting animatedly.
"I heard that General Manager Shao has been transferred to the head office of the Shao Group."
"I wonder what the new general manager will be like. I just hope he won't be as strict as General Manager Shao."
"General Manager Shao is strict, but which of our new products wasn't top - notch in the industry?"
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Wen Yin and pulled her into the conversation.
"Sister Wen Yin, you're here!"
The designer who had said that Shao Yinan was strict took two silent steps back.
Wen Yin noticed her little move and couldn't help but smile.
"It's okay. He is indeed very strict."
This short sentence quickly enlivened the atmosphere.
Before getting in touch with Wen Yin, the designers thought that someone like her wouldn't interact with them.
But the opposite was true.
Wen Yin not only had her own unique design insights but also gave them occasional guidance.
There was not a trace of coldness about her.
After getting along with her for a while, they found that Wen Yin wasn't as cold and aloof as she seemed on the surface. She was actually a very soft - hearted person.
"By the way, Sister Wen Yin, do you know who the new general manager is?"
Someone in the crowd whispered to Wen Yin, trying to get some inside information.
After all, as General Manager Shao's girlfriend, she might know something.
Wen Yin's expression didn't change at all. She closed the folder in front of her.
"I don't know."
There were a few half - hearted "Ah—" sounds from the crowd.
"Thirty minutes from now, all designers will have a meeting on the 18th - floor conference room."
There was a knock on the door, which pulled everyone's curious minds back.
After all, the newly - appointed general manager would surely be at the meeting.
Wen Yin lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes cast a slight shadow under her eyes, hiding all her emotions.
In the conference room.
All the designers were holding a thick stack of documents. The main seat was still empty, and the new general manager hadn't arrived yet.
Wen Yin just glanced at the empty seat casually and then lowered her head to look at her new design draft.
Shaohua had previously launched a new project, which was assigned to six designers led by Wen Yin.
Shao Yinan had high hopes for this product.
If it was successful, Shaohua would no longer be limited to evening gowns but would expand into other areas.
"Hello, everyone."
Not long after, the door opened and then closed.
The familiar male voice came from the main seat.
The other designers' faces showed varying degrees of surprise when they saw the newcomer.
The new general manager looked so much like General Manager Shao!
They had almost the same smooth jawline and the same high - bridged nose.
The only difference between Shao Yuanjia and Shao Yinan was their eyes.
Shao Yinan's peach - blossom eyes looked affectionate even when looking at a dog.
Shao Yuanjia's eyes were narrow, with a hint of hard - to - mess - with rascality and a glint in them.
"I'm Shao Yuanjia, the newly - appointed general manager."
Shao Yuanjia's voice rang out again.
His eyes scanned everyone's faces in the room.
He noticed the differences on their faces.
Shao Yuanjia's eyes darkened.
Wen Yin had only glanced at him when he entered the door and then didn't give him another look. She just buried her head in the information in front of her.
After the meeting, all the designers in the conference room looked ashen.
"Sister Wen Yin, what should we do? General Manager Shao said that we should focus on this project."
"But the new General Manager Shao has transferred us to the new products for the next quarter."
Everyone knew that you couldn't do two things at once.
If so, how could they ensure the quality?
Wen Yin pinched the bridge of her nose. Her beautiful eyes closed and then opened.
Shao Yuanjia did it on purpose.
A new broom sweeps clean.
His first move was to target Shao Yinan's old project.
"I'll talk to the director again and ask the director to communicate with General Manager Shao."
Hearing Wen Yin say this, the others gradually calmed down.
They had seen Wen Yin's abilities, and it was best to leave this matter to her.
"Since when did you get to make decisions for Shaohua?"
A cold male voice came from outside the door.
Wen Yin felt even more headache.
The overbearing father - in - law of the wealthy family had made another appearance.
When the designers present saw Shao Qi, they all lowered their heads.
"Director Shao."
Shao Qi raised his eyes and coldly scanned them. The whole office was shrouded in his low - pressure aura.
"You can all leave first."
"I have something to talk to Designer Wen."
The others were a bit afraid of Shao Qi, but they still couldn't help but look worriedly at Wen Yin.
Wen Yin showed no extra expression on her face. She was the only one whose expression remained unchanged in the face of Shao Qi's low - pressure aura.
She stood there neither overbearing nor humble, with her usual aloof look on her face.
When most of the designers in the conference room had left, Shao Qi sat in the general manager's seat.
He spoke in a deep voice.
"Do you think that just because you're with Shao Yinan, you can act high - handedly in Shaohua?!"
Shao Qi slammed the documents in his hand on the table.
A small gust of wind was stirred up, which happened to blow across Wen Yin's cheek, lifting the hair on her forehead.
It was like a slap in the face for Wen Yin.
