Ye Yuning’s eting lasted until ten-thirty, and by the ti she arrived at Xiao’s, it was already eleven o’clock.
Lai Shuo had been waiting for her for so ti in the office prepared for her.
Seeing Ye Yuning finally appear, he stood up. "Boss Ye gracing us with her presence, what a rare honor!"
His tone was clearly dripping with sarcasm.
Ye Yuning didn’t speak, walking directly to the office chair and sitting down. Chen Wei then asked, "Don’t you all take a lunch break?"
Lai Shuo was speechless.
She shows up at this hour and the first thing she asks about is the lunch break? How on earth did this woman manage to build her studio to its current success?
Seeing Lai Shuo remain silent, Chen Wei stood up straight and looked at him. "Our boss has two conditions."
She has conditions now?
Lai Shuo clenched his teeth. "What conditions?"
"When she’s designing, she doesn’t want to be disturbed by anyone. Please don’t co in unnecessarily; it disrupts her inspiration! And it ruins her mood!"
To put it bluntly, just seeing anyone from Xiao’s made Ye Yuning feel irritated.
For designers, being agitated is the biggest taboo. So, no matter what, she couldn’t let these people affect her mood.
Lai Shuo asked, "And the other condition?"
"Our boss also doesn’t wish to see Xiao Seventh Master. If you have anything, just convey it directly to us."
So he couldn’t just enter this office whenever he pleased, and she wouldn’t see Xiao Seventh Master either? This was truly...! Other designers at least needed to communicate. She didn’t even want that. This was outrageous!
Lai Shuo was fuming.
He felt Ye Yuning was being unbelievably pretentious.
His gaze fixed on Ye Yuning, who raised an eyebrow. "That’s precisely what I an."
Alright, so that was her intention!
Lai Shuo said, "There might be so details regarding Seventh Master that require your direct communication, so eting him will be unavoidable. Besides, when it’s ti to submit the drafts, Seventh Master will personally review them."
Thanks to her sister, Ye Tong, Xiao Linye was now extrely ticulous about the Nanjia Peak design. So, after this design was completed, he would definitely review it personally.
This whole ’no eting’ arrangent... that wasn’t going to work out well, was it?
Ye Yuning said, "The details will have to wait until the initial drafts are done. For the next three days, I don’t want to see him."
So, it was just for the next three days!
"Rest assured, our Seventh Master has no desire to see you for the next three days either." Lai Shuo bit out the words "no desire to see you" with particular emphasis.
Ye Yuning made up her mind.
Once this project was over, no matter what ss Xiao’s got into next, she wouldn’t take it on. Even if Xiao Linye got so angry he refused to cook for her for a week, she wouldn’t soften. Even if she didn’t eat his cooking for a month, it wouldn’t matter. This was just too infuriating!
Lai Shuo left.
He went straight to the top floor and returned to Xiao Linye’s office. At that mont, Xiao Linye, thinking they hadn’t arrived yet, was sending ssages to Ye Yuning. Compared to Lai Shuo’s simring anger, Xiao Linye was indeed trying to coax her more diplomatically.
"Hasn’t your boss finished her eting yet?"
"How did you know?" Ye Yuning replied.
She hadn’t co in all morning. Could it be that Lai Shuo had been badmouthing her at the company? Saying she was putting on airs? Had even Xiao Linye heard about it?
Xiao Linye replied, "Mm, I just heard it from Assistant Lai."
"Oh!" Reading this, Ye Yuning’s reply was rather curt.
Internally, she cursed Lai Shuo a thousand tis. That gossip! Making such a big deal out of such a trivial matter, did he want the whole world to know?
Xiao Linye wrote, "Tell your boss that Xiao’s places high importance on the Nanjia Peak project. If the design is good, there will be a bonus."
Ye Yuning paused. Trying to placate with money? This Xiao Seventh Master was truly sothing else—giving her grief and distrusting her on one hand, while trying to smooth things over with money on the other!
"So, how much is the bonus?" Ye Yuning asked.
Xiao Linye replied, "If it’s truly excellent, one million!"
Seeing this number, Ye Yuning was sowhat stunned.
That’s really generous. She knew that many small design projects didn’t even command such high fees, yet this bonus alone was one million. For the sake of the money, she’d just have to endure it.
"Alright, I’ll inform our boss."
"Have you requested leave for your boss?" Xiao Linye asked again.
His question was abrupt. Ye Yuning paused for a mont, not imdiately understanding why he was asking about leave. But it was only an instant before she rembered Xiao Linye had ntioned a business trip.
The specific timing... Had it passed already? But she genuinely couldn’t rember!
"Heading to Nanjia Peak?"
"Yes."
"Then I’ll request it imdiately!" Ye Yuning replied.
But could she really request leave? Trapped here at Xiao’s, it felt as if Xiao Seventh Master had eyes constantly on her. She’d only been away from Xiao’s for half a day today, and he was already hounding her relentlessly. If she requested leave now, he would definitely object, wouldn’t he?!
