Hello, Heir

Upon reaching the office, they went upstairs together, as was usual.

The moment Zhuang Nainai stepped out of the lift onto the 18th floor, she spotted all the employees casting warm, friendly looks at her.

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

Just a few days ago, they had been eyeing her downfall. Now, they had suddenly changed tact; she couldn’t accept such a drastic change!

Unable to resist herself, Zhuang Nainai patted her own head and berated herself inwardly. She wasn’t a masochist, so what was wrong with a little bit of friendliness from her colleagues? Sheesh!

She walked the familiar path to the venue design department, but just as she was making her way there, she saw Su Mei walking toward her, smiling. “Zhuang Nainai, your office is no longer here!”

It was then that Zhuang Nainai finally remembered that she was now the deputy department head of the fashion design department!

Under Su Mei’s directions, Zhuang Nainai made her way to her exclusively assigned office. Raising her head, Zhuang Nainai glanced at the plaque on the door, which read: Deputy Department Head of Design Department, Zhuang Nainai.

It suddenly felt surreal.

She thought of how she had been just a lowly employee when she had just graduated. She had been at the Imperial Group for only a month, and now she was the deputy head of a department?!

Given the Imperial Group’s luxurious culture, the offices of department heads were no exception. Spacious and bright, the offices made one feel instantly comfortable.

While she was in the midst of her thoughts, Su Jinhui’s voice cut in. “Junior, congratulations.”

Su Mei looked at Su Jinhui, then cast another glance at Zhuang Nainai. Smiling, she said a few pleasantries and then made her way out of the office.

Su Jinhui looked at Zhuang Nainai. “Junior, aren’t you going to welcome me into your office for a look?”

It was then that Zhuang Nainai regained herself and quickly opened the door. “Please enter, Senior!”

As the two of them entered the office, Zhuang Nainai realized how spacious, minimalistic, and well lit her office was. The office, at a size of 30 square meters, even had a little suite to boot.

It was indeed luxurious!

With amazement written all over her face, Su Jinhui laughed. “Nainai, aren’t you just excited? So, are you going to treat me to lunch later on?”

Zhuang Nainai would have been lying if she had said she was not excited. Everyone wanted to advance one way or another, and she was no exception.

Ever since she began working, she had always wanted to be able to work in the fashion design department, as well as to finally reach the apex of the hierarchy in the department. Now, her dream had come true! But her thoughts flew to her imminent divorce with Si Zhengting, and she began to wonder if she would be able to continue working at the Imperial Group after that.

At the thought of this, her excitement diminished a little. But, hearing Su Jinhui’s words, she nodded. “Of course!”

The moment she finished speaking, however, she realized something and became embarrassed.

Su Jinhui saw through her and said cheerily, “As your senior, how can I expect you to treat me? I was just joking. In any case, you being able to attain this position is a sign of your abilities, and so, may Nainai Junior allow me to treat her this once?”

Zhuang Nainai knew that Su Jinhui was trying to give her a way out. Smiling, she quickly said, “Okay, no problem!”

Having said this, she made a round around the room, then found paper cups to pour Su Jinhui a glass of water. It was only then that she settled herself behind her desk and booted up her computer.

Just as she was checking to see if all the software she needed were correctly installed on the computer, she heard Su Jinhui’s voice piping up out of the blue. “Nainai Junior, don’t mind me asking this all of a sudden, but… are you and Mr. Si dating?”
