Chapter 21: A Hard Slap in the Face

Mrs. Li is notoriously difficult and difficult to deal with in the entire designer circle.

No matter how many awards a celebrity has won, he will only be scolded by her.

Now Su Yan is a newcomer, he has no idea what Mrs. Li likes, and no one to introduce him to her. Wouldn't it be a death sentence for him to go there?

"Hey, you're back?"

When he saw Su Yan coming in, he didn't see the distraught look on her face, and felt a little disappointed.

"These are the snacks that Mrs. Li brought for everyone. Let's share them together."

This was the first time someone went to Mrs. Li's house, and not only did he not look sad, he also brought back snacks.

Could it be that she bought it herself?

"How do you prove that these were sent by Mrs. Li?"

Su Yan didn't expect Jiang Wanyi to not give up until she saw Huang He. She directly pointed at the packaging of the snacks, which clearly stated that they were for internal supply of the Li family and not for sale to the outside.

“Even if you want to buy it, you probably can’t.”

The snacks were placed on the table and others rushed over.

For such a small company, the Li family is already a rare big customer.

"Lucky for you."

Jiang Wanyi didn't even look at him, but stared at Su Yan like a hunting cheetah.

As soon as she made a mistake, Jiang Wanyi would bite her hard and eat her alive.

Su Yan still had a smile on his face. After taking a piece of snack, he returned to his workstation and continued to work.

"Su Yan, come to my office."

Director Wang had been watching a few people from a distance with a very serious expression.

"Director, you called me."

"Mrs. Li said she was very satisfied with your design, but ... "

He paused deliberately, and Su Yan moved closer, wanting to know what happened next.

"You just came to the company, you should keep a low profile. Although you are very capable, it is not a good thing to be too ostentatious."

Director Wang gave earnest words of comfort.

The company is not large, and talent is what he wants to retain most.

It’s a pity that either I feel the temple is too small or I feel unhappy here.

Director Wang still cherishes Su Yan, such a talented person who has finally come.

"Thank you, Director Wang."

She could tell that Director Wang was doing this for her own good, so she nodded silently.

"I saw the design, it's very thoughtful, but I think the waist design needs to be improved ... "

Seeing that Director Wang was interested in giving some advice, Su Yan quickly took out his tablet, enlarged the design drawing to waist level, and listened carefully to his instructions.

Two hours passed before I knew it.

It was completely dark outside.

After Director Wang’s guidance, Su Yan suddenly understood everything. He thanked him repeatedly and left the office.

When she returned to her workstation, Jiang Wanyi closed her makeup box and raised the corner of her mouth in disdain.

"I was wondering how a newcomer could take on such a big order on his own!"

The people around couldn't help but agree.

"We are not as good as her at utilizing our strengths."

He deliberately emphasized the word "strengths". Considering that Su Yan had just stayed in the director's office for such a long time, everyone seemed to understand what was going on.

"She looks innocent, but who would have known she would do such a thing behind the scenes."

Everyone joined in the discussion, the voices growing louder and louder, not caring at all that the person involved just stood there.

"You all shut up!"

The sudden strong voice startled everyone.

Because of what Director Wang said just now, Su Yan thought he could endure it as long as he could, and planned to use his strength to make everyone shut up. He didn't expect that someone would stand up and speak up for him.

"What evidence do you have for saying this?"

After Zhao Weilin yelled that, she realized it was a bit inappropriate, and her voice was much lower for the next sentence.

No one expected that an unknown assistant would dare to get involved in their affairs, and no one reacted for a while.

"If you don't have evidence, you are committing defamation. Su Yan can sue you!"

With just a few words, she silenced everyone.

Seeing her so angry about him, Su Yan felt somewhat moved.

"You are an assistant, why are you butting in?"

Jiang Wanyi was the first to react and couldn't help but start to blame.

She was almost going crazy because that girl Su Yan stole all her limelight.

Now a random assistant dares to stand up and refute her. It's simply outrageous!

"Am I wrong?"

During the afternoon when Su Yan was away, they had been speculating maliciously about Su Yan for the entire afternoon.

Zhao Weilin couldn't stand it anymore.

It's just because I'm just a small assistant that I haven't spoken a word.

"you wanna die!"

Today should be the day when Jiang Wanyi received the most frustrations.

She didn't say anything more and just raised her hand, ready to teach Zhao Weilin a lesson.

Everything happened too suddenly. Zhao Weilin had no time to dodge. She could only close her eyes and wait for the pain to come.

But instead of the expected pain, there was a female scream.

"what are you doing?"

When Zhao Weilin opened her eyes, she found Su Yan standing in front of her, tightly holding Jiang Wanyi's raised hand.

"We are all designers, there is no need to make such a scene."

Su Yan shook her hand away. He wanted to save her face, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Su Yan looked through some of Jiang Wanyi's designs on the way back.

I originally wanted to learn from it, but it's really bad.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed here for two years and still be a designer.

"Your designs all follow a template. There is nothing new about them."

"Who do you think you are, to dare ... "

Su Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her aggressive look.

"I've seen your designs too. Every one of them has puff sleeves. It'll be strange if they don't get returned."

"Each of yours is a fishtail."

"Your design is too complicated. It's all just a pile of techniques. If it's all about the key points, then there is no key point."

The series of fluent speeches like a string of cannonballs stunned everyone.

They didn't expect that Su Yan, who was as gentle as a little lamb, also had such a side to him.

Jiang Wanyi, who was in the lead, just stayed where she was.

She could never have imagined that a newcomer would dare to criticize her design in front of so many people?

"What do you know? I've been here for two years. You're new here, so what right do you have to judge my design?"

"Jiang Jie, previous clients seemed to say the same thing about you."

The whispered reminders from others made Jiang Wanyi feel even more ashamed. Her face turned red and she rushed out.

At this point, the office finally became quiet, and people began to pack up and leave work one after another.

Su Yan wanted to do his first design well so much that he stared at the computer with a pile of information at hand and didn't notice that the office was empty.

Zhao Weilin went to a convenience store and bought two rice balls.

When he came back, he found that Su Yan was the only one there. He walked up to her and handed her a rice ball.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Let me help you make it!"

She hasn't thanked him properly for helping her out just now.

Now when I see the rice ball being handed to me, my heart feels even warmer.

"Thank you for just now."

"You're welcome. They said that assistants only do odd jobs. You gave me the task right away. I should be the one to thank you."

Zhao Weilin took out the task she had left behind in the morning and handed it to her.

Looking at the densely packed notes and the key points marked out with different colored markers, Su Yan was extremely happy.

"Thank you so much! This helps me so much."

"If you need any help, I'll make it for you after we finish eating the rice balls."

Su Yan was very happy that he didn't expect to find a partner of his own right after starting work.

After opening the rice balls she bought, the two started eating while chatting.

Although the two were several years apart in age, their hobbies were highly overlapping. In just one meal, they had become friends and were drawing designs together, forgetting about time.

...

"Su Yan worked very hard on the design today, and it seemed that the client liked it very much. He also made an assistant friend. The two of them were busy until very late, and they were still working overtime when I left."

Zhang Chenghan closed his notebook.

God knew that a great young master like Zhang would actually peep at a woman and even report it.

And she's not his woman.
