After leaving the stage, Gu Panpan hadn’t yet returned to the resting area when she found herself surrounded by a crowd.
“Hello, Designer Gu. Have you considered changing jobs? I’m Manager Zhao from Fantasy Clothing Company. We sincerely invite you to become the chief designer with a monthly salary of 4.0,000 yuan…”
“Designer Gu, I’m the vice president of Love Clothing. 1 would like to extend an invitation for you to join our company. Your monthly salary would be 100,000 yuan. You can work four days a week with three days off, and enjoy a month of paid annual leave. The year-end bonus is twice your monthly salary.”
As Gu Panpan listened to the escalating offers from different companies, she waved her hands repeatedly.
“Thank you for your kind offers. 1 currently have no plans to change jobs. Thank you…”
“Designer Gu, if the salary isn’t up to your expectations, we can discuss it with headquarters. Here’s our business card. Please consider our company…”
Gu Panpan reluctantly accepted more than twenty business cards before managing to escape.
At that moment, Fang Yuan silently followed behind her, wearing a gentle expression. Gu Panpan no longer needed the champion title.
Observing that the competition had concluded, Cheng Mohan turned down those attempting to approach him. He inquired with the staff beside him, “Where’s Fang Yuan?”
“She should be in Rest Area B.”
Cheng Mohan headed straight to the rest area.
As he departed, the staff exchanged hushed comments, “Mr. Cheng seems to be interested in the assistant of Number 16. He’s genuinely concerned; he went to look for her after the competition.”
“Is that little girl going to become a phoenix?”
Cheng Mohan patiently waited until Fang Yuan and Gu Panpan arrived. Gu Panpan, aware of Fang Yuan’s identity, remained silent. The three of them left together.
In a corner, an exquisitely dressed girl discreetly took a photo of them with her phone and immediately dialed a number. “Hello, Yuqi, I just spotted the girl who’s trying to lure your fiance. She seems determined to replace you as Eldest Brother’s favorite…”
Cheng Yuqi was taken aback. After careful inquiry, she discovered that Eldest Brother had publicly declared his presence for Fang Yuan today. Hatred surged within her. Why? Eldest Brother had never paid attention to her before. Why was he suddenly so concerned about her?
“Yuqi, she’s so arrogant. Aren’t you going to put her in her place? What does she think she’s doing, trying to take your position in the Cheng family?”
Cheng Yuqi knew that she no longer held any status in the Cheng family. Despite her efforts to please everyone, nobody cared about her. Her various attempts had all ended in failure. Thinking of this, she feigned a sense of grievance. “No matter what, she’s still partially my sister…”
Hearing Cheng Yuqi’s seemingly timid response, Mu Sha became furious. “Cheng Yuqi, you’re a Cheng family member. When have you ever been treated like this? Don’t worry about it. 1’11 handle this little troublemaker!”
Cheng Yuqi was secretly delighted but cautioned, “Hey, Shasha, don’t go overboard. You…”
The busy tone on the other end of the phone brought a sense of relief to Cheng Yuqi. Mu Sha, accustomed to being indulged by her family, could be quite ruthless. In the past, she had bullied her classmates in school. This time, Fang Yuan wouldn’t be able to escape, right?
Cheng Mohan dropped Gu Panpan off at her home before presenting Fang Yuan with a carefully prepared four-leaf clover necklace. “Yuanyuan, this is for you. Open it and see if you like it.”
Fang Yuan accepted the gift graciously. She took the box and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Eldest Brother.” Opening the box under Cheng Mohan’s watchful eyes, she found the FY necklace inside. Excellent, she had earned some of Eldest Brother’s money…
“You don’t like it?” Cheng Mohan questioned, his gaze intense.
“No, I like it very much.” Fang Yuan replied, looking at Cheng Mohan with an inexplicable sense of grievance.
To express her gratitude to Eldest Brother, Fang Yuan wore the necklace around her neck, joining the FY necklace with Cheng Mohan’s gift. Now, there were two necklaces adorning her neck.
Observing the second necklace around his sister’s neck, Cheng Mohan felt the weight of the gift was too light. That guy, Bo Yi, was truly generous! However, a smile formed on his face when he saw that Fang Yuan had chosen to wear his necklace.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the house, Fang Yuan spotted Bo Yi’s car.
“Why are you here?” she inquired.
Bo Yi retrieved a gift box, similar in style to Cheng Mohan’s, and handed it over. “Congratulations on getting first place in the competition.”
Fang Yuan responded, “I’m just an assistant…”
Bo Yi opened the box, revealing a crystal-clear pink diamond necklace. “In my heart, you’re the best!”
Cheng Mohan, who was following closely behind, caught sight of the pink diamond necklace. His eyes turned cold. So, Bo Yi intended to give it to his sister as well.
Bo Yi briefly greeted Cheng Mohan, and the three of them entered the Cheng residence together.
Upstairs, Cheng Yuqi observed their interaction. Despite having bitten her nails anxiously, she quickly touched up her makeup and descended the stairs.
“Eldest Brother, Yi, Sister, you’re back!”
Cheng Mohan greeted her with a smile, but Bo Yi and Fang Yuan seemingly ignored her as they headed straight to the sofa and took their seats.
Of course, Cheng Mohan couldn’t help but notice the awkward atmosphere between the three of them.. Was the relationship between his sister and Yuqi not as amicable as Yuqi had portrayed?
