When he saw Su Wan’s fair and bare wrist with no jewelry, Lu Qingyu had an idea. He raised his brows and smiled.

  “A few days ago, I saw a Patek Philippe ladies watch which is quite nice in design. I think it would suit you.”


  Which girl could resist the charm of jewelry? Su Wan should not be an exception.

  Su Wan’s brows moved slightly. Her voice was calm but full of alienation.

  “Patek Phillippe watches are indeed beautiful. Thank you for your recommendation. I’ll consider buying and wearing matching watches with my husband.”


  Watching how Su Wan showed off her affection with her husband, Lu Qingyu choked and couldn’t say a single word. At the same time, he was curious as to who Su Wan had married.

  He should probably send someone to check……

  Both of them chatted casually for half an hour and without realizing, Su Wan finished half of the food served on their table.

  Lu Qingyu thought this woman looked petite but had a great appetite.

  Lu Qingyu gulped and suddenly felt Su Wan was another kind of woman.

  “You can really eat.”


  Without minding what he said, Su Wan smiled and waved to summon the waiter.

  “Waiter, take away please!”


  “Su Wan, do you really plan to take away the leftovers?”


  Lu Qingyu was taken aback. Initially, he thought Su Wan was merely joking!

  Since he was young, he had attended numerous lunch dates but had not seen anyone taking away food they couldn’t finish. Su Wan was indeed an exceptional girl……

  When she saw his surprised look, Su Wan took the packed food with poise.

  “Don’t you think it’s a waste if we don’t take away this food?”


  The catered food at Long Teng International was nothing compared to food served at this restaurant!

  Lu Qingyu touched his nose and still did not understand Su Wan’s behavior. However, he was a person who kept his promise. So, after lunch, he and Su Wan went their separate ways.

  After Lu Qingyu left, Su Wan went to scout around Beitong’s development zone once again. Without the disturbance of another, she was more and more confident about her proposal.

  When Su Wan returned to the office and put down her bag, she quickly recorded all the ideas she had today.

  She alertly typed away and the computer screen showed word after word, sentence after sentence. Her train of thought became clearer and clearer.

  The girls in the planning department did not see Su Wan the entire morning. Then, they got to know from their superior that Su Wan had gone to Beitong personally.

  Sensing Su Wan was gaining power, several girls approached her courageously in a friendly manner. They peeped at the words in Su Wan’s computer screen and asked smilingly, “Miss Su, what are you typing?”


  Su Wan looked around at her colleagues who were talking. With a light tone of voice and a stoic look, she answered, “I’m preparing the proposal for Beitong.”


  The girls tacitly exchanged gazes. Although they knew earlier that Su Wan had accepted this project, they pretended to praise her.

  “Wow, Miss Wang passed such a big project to you. Miss Su, you must try your best and win over the one who’s not up to standard!”


  The one who wasn’t up to standard?

  Even when nobody said anything, everyone in the planning department knew these words were spat against Ye Shanshan. They knew Ye Shanshan was originally the person in charge of this project!

  Upon hearing this, the temperamental Ye Shanshan instantly flared up.

  “Who did you say is not up to standard?”


  A girl with chestnut colored hair shot Ye Shanshan a look of disdain.

  “We did not mention names but if someone wants to admit it, she should not blame others.”


  “Ji Qing, you’re good at abusing someone over the shoulder of another! If you wish to flatter Su Wan, just go ahead and flatter her but the bidding result of Beitong is not out yet, it’s still too early for you to step on me!”


  The girl was using her to harm Ye Shanshan?

  Su Wan glanced at the girl who started talking and frowned very quickly. The wind would destroy the beautiful wood in the forest and similarly, an outstanding person would easily be envied or criticized. They were earnestly wishing she would become a thorn in Ye Shanshan’s flesh.

  She remembered that this girl with chestnut colored hair was the same girl who had rebutted Ye Shanshan.

  This girl called Ji Qing was very popular in the planning department. Every day, during lunch, many people would cluster around her to the canteen.

  Ji Qing……

  Su Wan memorized this name silently. When she saw Ji Qing and Ye Shanshan in a heated argument, Su Wan stood up at once.

  “Please go outside to settle your personal grudges. Don’t make a scene here. Thank you.”


  Su Wan spoke coldly. Although her voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

  All the other colleagues fell into a silence. Ye Shanshan darted a look at Su Wan and returned to her seat. However, Ji Qing refused to be quiet.

  Ji Qing walked up to Su Wan quickly and kept glancing at Su Wan’s computer screen.

  “Miss Su, don’t you think Miss Ye has been finding fault with us for no reason recently?

  Su Wan saw Ji Qing looking at her computer screen. She smiled slightly and minimized her document while returning to her desktop.

  “It might be your personal feeling.”


  Su Wan’s calm voice went into Ji Qing’s ears, making Ji Qing choked on her words. She thought Su Wan would chime in with her but had never expected her to keep her equanimity.

  She laughed awkwardly and when she saw the document being minimized, she left disappointedly.

  After getting rid of Ji Qing, a difficult to deal with person, Su Wan let out a sigh of relief. She pressed on her knitted brows and continued writing her proposal.

  Ji Qing’s eyes had been focused on her screen just now, but when she changed the interface, she shifted her vision away. This girl seemed to be interested in her proposal……

  Could she be inspecting a newbie like her, to see how capable she was?

  Su Wan shook her head and put all her focus on her work.

  A long time after the bell of dismissal rang, most of Su Wan’s colleagues in the planning department had already gone home, leaving only Su Wan, Ye Shanshan, and Ji Qing behind.

  Su Wan guessed Ye Shanshan wanted to show her performance to avoid from being sacked, thus staying back. However, why did Ji Qing stay back? Su Wan had no idea.

  Lots of energy had been exerted today. She endured for a little while more before leaving the office.

  ***

  When Ye Shanshan went to the washroom, Ji Qing, who had been working with her head down, quickly closed the door and made her way silently to Su Wan’s desk.

  She plugged a USB flash disk into Su Wan’s computer. After searching for a while, she finally found Su Wan’s document file which contained the proposal for Beitong.

  She pressed the copy and paste button and her heart raced.

  She wiped away the sweat on her forehead and prayed silently that Ye Shanshan would not come in suddenly……
