My Creation Will Not Sell? What A Joke!
Mo Nianchen raised an eyebrow. “You really wish to leave so badly?”
“Yes, yes, yes, absolutely!” Li Shengxia nodded frantically like a pecking chick.
He announced calmly, “Do a full body checkup tomorrow. You can leave if the results show you’re all right.”
Her eyes twinkled with brilliance imdiately. “How long will that take?!”
His gaze was as still as water. “It can take up to half a month.”
“…” What! Half a month? Then the past week she spent in the hospital was for nothing? She protested again, “You have ways to speed up the process, right?”
He raised an eyebrow before replying slowly. “Once a day, depending on your performance.”
How could this douchebag say sothing shaless like that without batting an eyelid!
Once a day ant seven tis a week! Fifteen tis in half a month! Was tonight the night that she would finally go mad!?
That sa night, all she could think of was how miserable she would be if she stayed in the hospital for another fifteen days. Eventually, she decided instead of driving herself nuts, she would allow the man to devour her the entire night over and over again.
The sacrifice lasted throughout the night. Aching all over, she felt as if all her limbs were out of joints…
Finally…
It ended!
She was quick to fall asleep.
Lying between his arms that night, she had one of the most serene nights of sleep in a long ti.
The following morning, she received the test results not long after going through the tests. She was finally allowed to be discharged! She swore she would never get sick or step foot into a hospital ever again! It was, without a doubt, torture!

Several days had passed since Li Shengxia attended work.
“Hey, look, isn’t that First Young Lady Li? I thought she wouldn’t show up again.” The receptionist from her company mocked as the woman arrived.
Another receptionist echoed, “I heard she’s challenging Jian Dan to the fashion showcase that’s coming up at the end of October.”
“Haha, people say the young are fearless. All she ever succeeded in was getting into several n’s beds yet she’s arrogant enough to challenge Jian Dan, the famous designer.”
She ignored the glances thrown in her direction and headed toward the design departnt alone.
People in the departnt instinctively turned to the door.
“Shengxia, it’s been a few days since you ca. I thought you were never coming again.” The voice belonged to Ling Yarang. He had always been polite and kind toward her, never once looking at her strangely.
She felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in her heart and smiled at the man. “I couldn’t co to work because of so personal matters.”
“The person that disappeared without notice after the first day of work suddenly returned out of the blue. How interesting.” Tan Qing took a sip of the coffee he was holding. The corners of his lips twitched into a mocking smile.
“Shengxia, are you really going to accept the challenge?” Ling Yarang whispered, “Jian Dan is an internationally-recognized top designer. That puts you in an unfair situation.”
“How is that unfair? Isn’t that the best opportunity to prove her worth?” Pianpian raised her head to glance at Li Shengxia before occupying herself with work again.
In other words, even if competing against Jian Dan placed Li Shengxia at an unfair disadvantage, allowing her to stay in the design departnt was not fair to the nurous designers who wished to work here either!
Exactly! Why was she allowed to stay here without putting in any effort? Just as Jian Dan had ntioned before, this young lady had neither an impressive academical background nor experience in the industry, not to ntion that she did not even attend fashion school…
Ling Yarang looked at Li Shengxia helplessly. Jian Dan was infamous for her hot temper and stubbornness.
He said, “Don’t be shy to ask for if you need anything. I’ll teach you everything I know.”
“Thank you,” she replied with a smile.
“No problem. We’re colleagues.”
“It’s too early to say.” Jian Dan entered the office right at this mont and began heading to her desk. That cold glance she cast in Li Shengxia’s direction was filled with an unmistakable disdain.
Ling Yarang returned to his seat imdiately.
Li Shengxia spoke when Jian Dan walked past. “Senior, don’t worry, I’ll give my best.”
“Do you think giving your best ans anything? Fashion design is not as simple as you think!” The latter paused in her tracks to glare at the other woman. “You should save your amateur skills for sowhere else! Why taint the fashion industry with them? I’ve shown you rcy but here you co again. You really do think highly of yourself!”
Li Shengxia refused to take the insult. “All you have is your reputation. Who knows how well your sales will be if that title is stripped off.”
A heavy silence fell upon the entire room and everyone turned to face the two won.
Even Pianpian, who was always engrossed in her own work, paused. She thought Li Shengxia must be mad to speak to an experienced senior like that.
Simultaneously, Jian Dan could feel all eyes on her. Her face fell imdiately having been insulted by the newcor that she hated so much!
She was the one who initiated this ss but the newcor was definitely at fault for talking back to a senior! Unforgivable.
“My designs have always been the best-selling in the past several years. Surely that ans more than my fa? You’re saying my creations won’t sell? What a joke! You’re a nobody who hasn’t even done proper market research. You’re too bold to say that.”
“I dare you to compete against , a newbie, completely anonymously, and we shall see whose design is more popular. You can always criticize later if I’m wrong.”
Li Shengxia did not an it in a bad way; she was only trying to get her voice heard.
She thought Jian Dan’s recent creations seed to be lingering around similar concepts instead of incorporating fresh innovation, not to ntion that her sales were dropping as well. The woman only managed to keep going because of her accumulated fa.
However, she refused to deal with the fact that she was facing a creativity burnout.
Jian Dan was furious upon hearing her words. “Even internationally famous designers won’t stop complinting my work so who are you to comnt? Ridiculous! Do you think your design is better than mine? Let’s crown your creation with my na and see if it’s more popular!”
