Princess Syndrome - Chapter 85
Chapter 85: Abandon
Sometimes, Ji Zhiyi really wanted to pinch Su Lingyue's cheeks in public. She turned her head. Su Lingyue's face, which had been made up, was clean and pale, with a hint of redness. She knew how to be shy.
Saying such bold words.
Ji Zhiyi found it funny and helpless. After Su Lingyue finished speaking, she straightened up, returning to her normal expression, but her eyes were filled with a suppressed laughter. It seemed that she was happy to have teased Ji Zhiyi. Ji Zhiyi said smoothly, "Assistant Su’s girlfriend has so many good qualities.”
Su Lingyue said, "I also think so. She's the most amazing person I’ve ever met!"
She could say words of love so easily.
Ji Zhiyi forced herself to remain calm, barely managing to hide her emotions.
They arrived at the restaurant at eight forty. They were early. Su Lingyue had met the person in charge from Arno before. These last few years, he had been looking for business partners in the country. Of course, there were quite a few who wanted to expand their business overseas. Su Qi had originally been actively involved, but currently, their entire focus was on cooperating with Baoshun. Yilin had seized this opportunity and had taken the first step.
Of course, there were no secrets in the world. News that Ji Zhiyi had an appointment to eat with the person in charge from Arno spread quickly.
Zhou Shiyu naturally heard the news.
She repeated, "She made an appointment with the person in charge from Arno?"
Not Chairman He?
What was Ji Zhiyi doing?
At this critical juncture, instead of trying to build a closer relationship with Baoshun, she went to build a relationship with Arno?
Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't build a relationship with Arno, but it was the order of events. She understood that. Would Ji Zhiyi not understand?
Zhou Shiyu summoned her assistant: "Check on Yilin's latest projects."
Her assistant replied, "Okay."
After saying that, she looked at her. Zhou Shiyu sensed that she wanted to say something, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Her assistant said, "It's about Designer Li."
The designer who had been exposed for plagiarism last time.
Zhou Shiyu asked, "What about her?"
Her assistant said, "To get out of trouble, she has already exposed all the people in the design department."
Zhou Shiyu looked at her.
Her brows furrowed: "When?"
Her assistant said: “Yesterday.”
After saying that, she said to Zhou Shiyu: "But she doesn't know anything about Xie Lan's affair."
Zhou Shiyu sneered.
Ji Zhiyi had dug a pit, waiting for her to jump in.
So she had been preparing a long time ago. She hadn't been unaware. She had just been playing dumb. She knew about the design department, so how could she not know about Xie Lan? Zhou Shiyu said, “Have the public relations department take down the news.”
Her assistant understood: "President Zhou, do you mean that Xie Lan has already been exposed?"
Zhou Shiyu's face was cold: "Perhaps she was never successful in the first place."
Her assistant said, "Then why did Ji Zhiyi go around in circles with Xie Lan?"
It was completely unnecessary. If she had known all along, why would she have done so much useless work? Why would she have sent her designs to the factory? Zhou Shiyu said, "She wasn't going around in circles with Xie Lan, she was going around in circles with us."
Her assistant understood instantly.
Hadn’t she suffered a great loss with the spokesperson matter?
She trusted Xie Lan, and highly regarded Xie Lan, and it was probably to send a signal to them, a signal to let their guard down.
That Ji Zhiyi was indeed cunning.
Her assistant didn’t say anything.
Her phone vibrated. She looked at it, turned it off, and reported to Zhou Shiyu, “Young President Zhou is asking when you are going back.”
Hearing about Zhou Yan, Zhou Shiyu frowned. She was very impatient: “He was discharged?”
Her assistant said, "He was discharged yesterday."
Zhou Shiyu said, "Let him go home and rest. He’s not allowed to go to the company."
At this critical moment, he mustn’t cause any more problems. It had been so difficult for her to make the connection with Chairman He and arrange a lunch. If any more bad news came out, she would kill Zhou Yan!
Her assistant said: "Okay."
After speaking, she left her room. She received a call from Xie Lan. As the only designer who had been brought over before this showcase, Xie Lan was under a lot of attention. Yesterday at the banquet, Ji Zhiyi had Su Lingyue notify her, but she had used the excuse of not feeling well and hadn’t gone over. When she had come back, the secretaries in the adjacent rooms had even kindly asked her what was wrong.
She didn’t even know what was wrong with her. It was just that at this critical time, her hands and feet were cold.
Yilin’s showcase time was at ten o'clock.
When ten o'clock came.
She would be completely ruined.
This was the ending that she had known about for a long time. She had made all the preparations for this ending, but when that moment was about to come, she still felt panic and unease. She even wanted to cancel her collaboration with Zhou Shiyu before that moment arrived.
She called Zhou Shiyu.
Her assistant picked up the phone.
Her tone was cold: "Miss Xie, isn't it a bit late to say that you regret it now?"
Xie Lan felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
She hung up the phone. When Su Lingyue called her, her hands and feet went numb. She didn’t pick it up.
Her phone fell to the ground.
The buzzing vibrations were like a death warrant, like the insults and mockery that were about to come at her from all directions. She panicked.
Su Lingyue called twice but no one picked up. She turned her head and said to Ji Zhiyi: "No one’s picking up."
Ji Zhiyi already knew what had happened.
She said: "Let's go to the exhibition hall."
Su Lingyue said: "Should I go find her?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "No need."
The two left the restaurant and went straight to the exhibition hall. Many people were already sitting under the platform. When they saw them come in, they nodded to indicate that they saw them. The inside was quiet. After Su Lingyue followed Ji Zhiyi inside and sat down, she recalled her conversation with Arno’s person in charge. She discovered that Ji Zhiyi even knew French.
She was stunned.
This person was shockingly perfect!
Although she didn't quite understand what the two were talking about, but she could tell that the atmosphere was pleasant, and that the other party was very satisfied with Ji Zhiyi. After leaving the restaurant, she asked Ji Zhiyi: "Did you reach an agreement?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "Nothing is that simple. It still has to be reviewed."
Su Lingyue nodded.
She then asked Ji Zhiyi: "Will you think that I’m useless?"
Ji Zhiyi turned her head. It was rare to see Su Lingyue so insecure. She, whose acting was so bad, always wished she could write "I’m a super actress" on her face: “Why are you asking this?”
Su Lingyue said: "I don't even understand what you were talking about."
She said: "Am I useless?"
Ji Zhiyi shook her head: "No."
Su Lingyue looked at her.
Ji Zhiyi said, "If Yilin wanted to cooperate with Baoshun, this morning was an excellent opportunity. You were the one that gave me this opportunity, so you’re also very amazing."
Su Lingyue was happy to be praised by her: "Really?"
Ji Zhiyi nodded.
Su Lingyue said, “Oh right, you still haven’t told me why you’re not cooperating with Baoshun.”
After she finished speaking, a secretary walked towards them.
Su Lingyue kept her distance from Ji Zhiyi until they went into the exhibition hall.
She looked around. Many bosses had come, but not all of them. Today seemed more like a rehearsal. Only those who were interested in the other companies’ designs would come and take a look. The people from Baoshun didn't come. Shen Yuan and Zhou Shiyu didn't come either.
But Zhou Shiyu's assistant had arrived.
She was standing at the back, looking at the display platform from time to time. Su Lingyue knew that she was waiting, waiting for Yilin’s designs to come out, so she could decide if she wanted to release the news.
Her assistant was waiting.
Although Zhou Shiyu had already told her that Ji Zhiyi knew about Xie Lan’s matter, and that she definitely wouldn't use Xie Lan’s designs, she was still unwilling to give up, or rather, she didn't believe that Ji Zhiyi was really that smart. So she had taken advantage of the break and come to the exhibition hall again.
In five minutes, it would be Yilin's turn.
The assistant's heart ached badly. She kept her eyes fixed on the display platform in the distance, not blinking.
Four minutes.
Three minutes.
Two minutes.
One minute.
A hint of white appeared on the display platform.
She knew that she had lost.
The assistant turned and left the exhibition hall.
At the same time, Xie Lan was waiting. She was sitting on a sofa, looking at her phone, waiting for the moment that the news came out. She was waiting for her phone to be bombarded with messages. She waited and waited, but no news came.
Well, there was one news message from a marketing account.
It was insignificant.
She looked at her phone, turning it over and over again. She was sure that there was no news. Unwilling to give up, she left her room. She, who was supposed to be in the exhibition hall, arrived much later, but Yilin’s designs were still being displayed.
She immediately saw the main pieces.
It wasn't her lock and key design.
It was a design that she had never seen before.
A chill went through her from the soles of her feet.
Did Ji Zhiyi know all along?
She immediately looked in Ji Zhiyi's direction. Ji Zhiyi was sitting upright, looking at the designs on display in front of her. Su Lingyue, next to her, had her head lowered, and seemed to be saying something. She nodded slightly.
Countless feelings washed over Xie Lan.
She was no longer using her designs, so she should be happy.
But it was followed by embarrassment and shame.
She wouldn't feel this intense shame in front of anyone, but it was there in front of Ji Zhiyi.
The things she had said to her, the smiles she had given her, and her colleagues’ discussions at the company, were now just one slap after another, making her face hurt. Xie Lan turned and ran away.
After watching Yilin's showcase, Su Lingyue asked Ji Zhiyi: "Are you going to watch the others?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "Let's take a look at Dingsheng’s."
Dingsheng was the last company in the morning. Shen Yuan didn't arrive until the brand presentation. She was wearing a plaid long dress, her hair down. She didn’t have the strict, uptight look from before. She seemed rather casual.
Su Lingyue glanced at her and then looked away. Shen Yuan sat next to Ji Zhiyi and said, "When did President Ji arrive?"
Ji Zhiyi said, "Ten o'clock."
Shen Yuan wasn't surprised: "That's pretty early."
Ji Zhiyi said, "Yeah, I'm a free person."
She even knew how to joke now.
Su Lingyue wanted to laugh when she heard her speak. She forced herself to suppress it.
The more she tried to suppress it, the more stiff her face became, and she even had a somewhat cold and distant look. Shen Yuan, noticing her expression, was a bit tense. Was she afraid that she was going to talk about what had happened this morning with Ji Zhiyi?
She wasn’t that foolish.
But her tense expression was a bit interesting. She and Su Lingyue didn't know each other that well, but she had seen her a few times. When was the last time she hadn’t been arrogant, always so righteous when she argued with someone, with a domineering attitude that suggested that she was always right?
Although she had withdrawn from the social circle these last few years, she had left a lasting impression, so she had never thought that Su Lingyue would have such a tense expression.
It made her feel a bit mischievous.
She deliberately brought the topic to Su Lingyue: "Assistant Su's dress today is very pretty."
Su Lingyue was stunned at being praised.
What did Shen Yuan mean by this?
They had met at the annual meeting a few times, but they had never spoken, right?
It was said that she had a cold personality, like ice that hung from the eaves in the winter. She couldn't get along with people with that kind of personality, so they had never interacted before, except for last night when she had pulled her back.
Had she changed after she had pulled her back?
Regardless, she still needed to be polite. Su Lingyue turned her head and smiled: “President Shen, you are too kind.”
After saying that, she looked down. She saw that Ji Zhiyi’s finger on the chair’s armrest tapped lightly twice. For some reason, Su Lingyue suddenly thought of the way Ji Zhiyi had tapped the clock in the beginning.
She was impatient then.
Impatient meant she was unhappy.
Ji Zhiyi was unhappy.
Su Lingyue had never been this clever in school. She pretended to support herself with her hand. Her elbow touched the back of Ji Zhiyi's hand on the armrest. When Ji Zhiyi turned her head, she apologized innocently: "Sorry, President Ji."
Ji Zhiyi could tell that she had done it on purpose, but she didn’t say anything.
When the exhibition hall closed, Ji Zhiyi invited Shen Yuan to have lunch together. Shen Yuan had originally planned to go anyway. Chairman He had asked her to help coordinate, so now, following Ji Zhiyi’s words, she said, “Thank you in advance, President Ji.”
Su Lingyue lowered her head as she listened.
What a hypocrite.
She had already coordinated with Zhou Shiyu. Now, it was as if nothing had happened.
While she was thinking this, she followed Ji Zhiyi and went to the restaurant. Unlike the one from the morning, this restaurant was in the city center, and was a bit further. The restaurant was arranged by Su Qi. Zhou Shiyu, who was a vain person, wanted to curry favor with Chairman He, so she had booked an entire floor for the restaurant. She had also arrived early, and was standing at the door.
She knew that Ji Zhiyi would be coming today. Chairman He had told her, and he had also clearly stated that he would choose between the two companies. As for the design matters, Zhou Shiyu hadn't gained anything good, so she had to take down Baoshun no matter what!
Her assistant stood next to her: "President Ji and President Shen have arrived."
Zhou Shiyu was smiling. She always paid attention to her appearance, and she was good at maintaining her figure. It was just that recently, the company's affairs had been too busy, so she seemed a bit tired. But she would definitely not show any signs of it in front of Ji Zhiyi. Her makeup was still exquisite.
Shen Yuan stepped forward: "President Zhou, you've arrived early."
Zhou Shiyu said, "I've been waiting for the two of you."
Shen Yuan asked, "Has Uncle He not arrived yet?"
Zhou Shiyu said, "Not yet. Chairman He will be here in a bit." She then had her assistant lead Shen Yuan and Ji Zhiyi inside. She also had her assistant prepare their tea. As the assistant led the three inside the private room, sandalwood incense had already been lit. The air was filled with a light fragrance. It was not appropriate for the assistant to stay in an environment like this, so Su Lingyue told Ji Zhiyi and then left first.
She had just left the door when she bumped into Chairman He.
Su Lingyue smiled at him. She waited until Chairman He had entered the private room.
Chairman He still remembered her. After going in, he said to Zhou Shiyu, "Is this the young lady from your family?"
Zhou Shiyu bit her lip, her face smiling: "Yes, I’m flattered that Chairman He still remembers her."
Chairman He said, “I haven’t seen her in a few years. The older she gets, the more beautiful she gets.”
Zhou Shiyu smiled.
Su Lingyue took after her mother.
If only she could have inherited just a little of her father, she wouldn’t be so beautiful. But being like her mother was a good thing. She could use her to influence her more easily.
It was just a small interlude, and no one took it to heart. Su Lingyue sat in the outer lounge. The waiter had prepared tea for her. When they asked her what kind of pastries she wanted, she said, "Thank you, I don't need any."
The waiter left the lounge.
Su Lingyue looked to her side.
Zhou Shiyu’s assistant was there.
Zhou Shiyu’s assistant wasn’t her father’s assistant. After Zhou Shiyu had entered the company, she had promoted many people she trusted. From the president's office to finance and HR, she had inserted a lot of people. This assistant had also only recently come to Su Qi. Su Lingyue didn't know her before.
But her assistant knew Su Lingyue.
One could even say that everyone in Su Qi knew Su Lingyue.
She had naturally also heard the rumors that she had been tormented miserably by Ji Zhiyi these last few months. Seeing Su Lingyue take another sip of tea, the assistant initiated a conversation: "Does Miss Su like to drink tea?"
Su Lingyue, hearing her voice, turned her head, and said calmly, "I don't."
The assistant: ...
One sentence ended the conversation.
The assistant could probably understand why Zhou Shiyu didn’t like Su Lingyue.
She fell silent.
Su Lingyue was even more silent than she was. Both of them were thinking about the private room separated by one wall.
The dishes were delicious, and the atmosphere was good. Chairman He had come mainly to discuss the collaboration. Both sides had shown a lot of sincerity, so he wouldn't be negligent. If he was considering things from a personal point of view, he would definitely choose Yilin this time. It had good development prospects, and a good brand reputation. Two years ago, he had met Ji Zhiyi and had seen her abilities. He knew that Yilin would definitely have a place in the shoe trade in the future. Moreover, Yilin's development trend was a straight upward line. It was the best potential stock that he had ever seen.
So in his heart, he would definitely choose Yilin.
But then, Shen Yuan had recommended Su Qi.
Su Qi had changed bosses, and half of its company had been divided. He wasn't too surprised when he heard that. It was normal for Su Qi to experience turmoil after such an accident. Zhou Shiyu was indeed capable to be able to stabilize the remaining company in such a short time.
Although this ability was not enough when compared to Dingsheng and Yilin, it was still enough to stabilize the situation. As for why Dingsheng was willing to support Su Qi, he could also imagine why.
One was for patent sharing.
The other was because if Su Qi was really swallowed whole by Yilin, it was hard to say that Dingsheng wouldn't be next.
A three-legged stance was the most stable.
That was probably the real reason why Dingsheng was willing to help Su Qi.
As for him, he needed to give Dingsheng face, and also attend to Shen Yuan, but he also couldn't dismiss Ji Zhiyi. So after much deliberation, at this final point, it would depend on the prices that each side offered.
Ji Zhiyi understood as well, and she didn't make things too difficult for Chairman He. She put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth. She said, "Two stores, for a three year contract, sixty million is indeed a little low. The traffic in Jian’gang City is currently at the level of a first-tier city, and it’s not difficult to surpass that in the future. Baoshun is settling in Jian’gang City first, so its prospects are good. Therefore, Yilin is willing to add on to that price.”
Zhou Shiyu knew very well. Sixty million was within her acceptable range. From the moment she saw that the design pieces from the morning weren’t Xie Lan’s, she knew that Ji Zhiyi had been prepared for a long time. So she had spent the entire morning contacting acquaintances.
Of course, she had also contacted Shen Yuan.
It was that which had given her the confidence: "President Ji makes a lot of sense. I wonder how much President Ji will add on?"
Ji Zhiyi said, “Seventy million.”
Chairman He didn't speak.
He just looked at Ji Zhiyi.
Zhou Shiyu said calmly, “Seventy-five million.”
Ji Zhiyi said, "Eighty million."
Zhou Shiyu wanted to grit her teeth. She controlled herself. Ji Zhiyi had gotten her to fall into one trap after another. If the Baoshun project was stolen by Ji Zhiyi too, Su Qi would be in a precarious position in the future. She said, “Eighty-five million.”
Ji Zhiyi said, "Eighty-six million."
Chairman He was calm and unhurried.
Zhou Shiyu gritted her teeth: "Eighty-seven million."
Ji Zhiyi: "Eighty-nine million."
Zhou Shiyu turned to look at Ji Zhiyi. She looked determined. She was silent for a few seconds: “Ninety million.”
Ji Zhiyi said, “Congratulations, Chairman He.”
Zhou Shiyu frowned.
What did she mean?
She was giving up?
She hadn’t guessed wrong. Ji Zhiyi had given up. She had successfully collaborated with Baoshun, but she just felt like this success wasn’t all that enjoyable. What was Ji Zhiyi preparing for now?
Zhou Shiyu didn't have the joy of getting the project.
Ji Zhiyi was even happier than she was, as if she had been the one that had negotiated this collaboration. Chairman He was also happy. Not only did he not offend either side, but he also increased the price. Only Shen Yuan looked at Ji Zhiyi. Her silence lasted a bit longer.
Even after leaving the restaurant, she didn't speak. She kept frowning.
Chairman He said to Shen Yuan, "Are you going back with me tonight?"
Shen Yuan said, "No, Uncle. I have a meeting tonight. It’s probably going to be late. You go back first."
Chairman He didn’t mind. He nodded and was escorted away.
Zhou Shiyu also glanced at Ji Zhiyi. Her face was cold as she walked away in her high heels. Ji Zhiyi's expression was the same as always. Shen Yuan stood by her side, but didn't say anything. She smiled. Su Lingyue walked out of the lounge, stood next to her, and asked, "How did it go?"
Last night, Ji Zhiyi had already told her that she wouldn't be cooperating with Baoshun, but she still wanted to know the result.
Ji Zhiyi said: "Su Qi got it."
Su Lingyue nodded.
Before getting into the car with Ji Zhiyi, her phone rang. Seeing the name flashing on the screen, she handed the phone to Ji Zhiyi.
As expected, it was her godmother.
Ji Zhiyi was silent for two seconds before picking up the phone.
The voice on the other end asked, "Ji Zhiyi, what are you doing?"
Ji Zhiyi said, "Godmother, the price was already over our budget.”
"Over budget?" Her godmother said through gritted teeth, "I told you, no matter the cost, you had to get the Baoshun spot. Is that how you’re answering me? What have you been doing this whole time?”
Ji Zhiyi said, "I just didn't want Yilin to suffer a loss."
"You didn’t want to?" Jiang Ya’s voice came over the phone. "Do you not want to see Yilin suffer a loss, or do you not want to deal with Dingsheng?"
Ji Zhiyi didn't say anything when she heard her mention Dingsheng.
Jiang Ya quickly said: "You don't need to go back to the company. I've already had Qi An take over. Transfer all the projects in your hands to her. Also, come over here."
Ji Zhiyi gripped her phone tightly. It seemed as if she had expected this result. She said: "Okay."
Jiang Ya hung up the phone angrily.
Ji Zhiyi stood outside the car, and called Zhang Xian again.
Su Lingyue sat in the car, and saw that her expression was serious. After she made a few calls, she finally came back. The outside of the car was hot. Ji Zhiyi’s face was slightly red from the sun. Su Lingyue, seeing her get into the car, asked, "Are we going back?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "Mm, we're going back."
After saying that, she said to Su Lingyue, "I need to go on a business trip for a while. There will be a new manager in the company. If you have any problems, just look for Zhang Xian directly."
Su Lingyue turned her head: "A business trip?"
She asked, "Where to? Am I not going with you?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "No need."
Su Lingyue understood instantly: "Is it to your godmother's?"
Ji Zhiyi acknowledged it.
Su Lingyue thought about how the last time she had met her godmother, she had slapped Ji Zhiyi. She felt bad: “She…”
Ji Zhiyi said, "Let's go back first."
She was still able to have such a relaxed expression at this time.
But Su Lingyue couldn't relax.
After they got back, they were told that Xie Lan had already checked out and had left first. Su Lingyue didn’t take it to heart. She nodded, and then went upstairs with Ji Zhiyi. Ji Zhiyi’s phone hadn’t stopped ringing. After they got into the room, she still had to start a video conference. Su Lingyue, seeing that she was busy, didn't say anything. She just helped her pour some tea.
She waited for a long time. She touched her phone. She suddenly thought of calling Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian had just finished a call with Ji Zhiyi. She was sitting on the sofa. She hadn’t been able to get a good rest since last night. When she heard that Ji Zhiyi had said that Qi An would be coming to the branch, she knew that Ji Zhiyi had completely angered Jiang Ya.
As she was thinking about whether or not to call Jiang Ya and plead with her, she received a call from Su Lingyue.
Just now, Ji Zhiyi had specifically instructed her that if she couldn't make a decision regarding the factory, she should discuss it with Su Lingyue, which meant that Su Lingyue was completely capable of representing her.
This forced her to reassess the relationship between the two.
She suddenly discovered a key point.
She blurted out to Ji Zhiyi: "When you bought Su Qi, it was really for Su Lingyue, wasn't it!"
Ji Zhiyi admitted: "Mm."
Zhang Xian understood immediately.
She had been wrong.
She had been thinking the wrong thing all along.
It was because of Su Lingyue.
But not because she hated Su Lingyue.
But because she liked her.
That was why she had ruined her plans.
Thinking about this, Zhang Xian said to Ji Zhiyi, rarely in her presence, “I’ll be damned!”
After speaking, she covered her mouth, “Then you and Su Lingyue…”
Ji Zhiyi said, "We're together."
Zhang Xian: "I'll be damned!"
Ji Zhiyi: ...
Zhang Xian was stunned.
She asked: "Then what about Godmother? You didn't let her know, right?"
Ji Zhiyi said: "Not yet."
Zhang Xian was relieved: "You definitely can’t let her know. She’ll beat you to death!"
Ji Zhiyi was silent.
After hanging up, Zhang Xian’s heart was pounding. Her phone call with Ji Zhiyi was like a roller coaster. It had flown up and down quickly. When she had calmed down and was preparing to call Jiang Ya, she received a call from Su Lingyue.
Seeing the name, Zhang Xian’s hand shook. She almost threw her phone away.
She then slapped herself on the forehead.
Why was she nervous?
It wasn't like it was her who was dating Su Lingyue.
She then took a deep breath, and picked up Su Lingyue’s call.
This time it was completely different.
She was no longer Su Family’s young miss. But she was now Ji Zhiyi’s girlfriend. Zhang Xian's mindset almost hadn't adjusted in time. She heard Su Lingyue speak: "Director Zhang?"
She replied immediately: "Ah, ah, I'm here."
Su Lingyue paused when she heard her reply.
Zhang Xian was just about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. She chuckled dryly: "Is President Ji next to you?"
Su Lingyue said, "No, she's in the room having a meeting."
Zhang Xian said, "Oh, a meeting..."
Su Lingyue had become bad, and had started to ask indirectly: "Her godmother seems very angry?"
Zhang Xian paused: "She's very angry."
Su Lingyue said: "Is it because she lost this project?"
Actually, as soon as she had come back, she wanted to ask Ji Zhiyi, but Ji Zhiyi didn't have any time at all. Her phone hadn't stopped ringing. It had been two hours since they had entered the room, and she still hadn’t come out. She couldn't sit still, and had remembered to ask Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian should know, right?
Zhang Xian really did know, because Ji Zhiyi was worried that she wouldn’t be able to return in time, so she had told her about what to do next, and had also arranged how to do it. Moreover, just now, Ji Zhiyi had said that she shouldn't hide anything from Su Lingyue, so she said frankly, "It's not just about the project."
Su Lingyue said, "Then what else is it?"
Zhang Xian said: "Because her godmother won't let her do anything to Su Qi."
Su Lingyue was confused: "Why?"
Zhang Xian said: "Because Su Qi doesn't pose a threat to Yilin. Moreover, Su Qi is going downhill. There are many companies that could take its place. Su Qi's ending is obvious. Godmother thinks she’s wasting unnecessary time, and wasting unnecessary manpower and financial resources.”
Su Lingyue, hearing this, was stunned. She clutched her phone.
She suddenly thought about the words she had once heard from Ji Zhiyi.
Honestly, my goal isn't Su Qi.
She had also had a second part, right?
Because it was unnecessary.
But because she had promised to help her bring down Su Qi, it had turned into the current situation. Su Lingyue hung up the phone. Ji Zhiyi was just walking out of the room. Seeing her curled up on the sofa, Ji Zhiyi walked over, and said, "Did you wait for too long? The meeting just took a bit longer..."
Su Lingyue saw her sit down. She threw away the pillow, and hugged her.
Ji Zhiyi lowered her head.
Su Lingyue said, “Ji Zhiyi, is it because of me? Is it because I want to bring down Su Qi that you gave up the collaboration with Baoshun?”
If it wasn’t because of that reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason why such a smart person would actively give up on something. Ji Zhiyi, hearing this, lowered her eyes. Looking at her, she was able to smile at this moment and said: "Yes, so what? Do you want to give up on bringing down Su Qi now?"
Su Lingyue hesitated.
She really was just a love brain.
Her goal of so many years was about to be achieved, and at this moment, she actually wanted to give up.
