Chapter 1508: Difficult

“Jiaojiao, or…?”

It wasn’t that Su Miaotong wanted to be nagging, nor was it intentional underestimation; she was purely worried that Nan Jiaojiao wouldn’t be able to handle it. If the client were easygoing, it would be fine, but she had seen the situation that day; Mrs. Ye was truly being overly deliberate.

She had given all the advice she could. Since President Pei hadn’t said anything, anything more she said would just seem redundant.

Finally, she just sighed, “Alright, just go ahead and do your best, I’m here for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled lightly, “Thank you, Master Su.”

Coming out of the office, Nan Jiaojiao was holding a box of pastries, which she opened and shared with everyone.

When she had some free time, Nan Jiaojiao called Lin Shuyun. The call went through, but it was deliberately not answered.

She wasn’t in a rush. After the call ended automatically, she dialed Ye Congwen’s phone.

“Jiaojiao?”

This proactive call took Ye Congwen by surprise.

Nan Jiaojiao spoke directly, “Your wife ordered a set of jewelry from me to wear for your twentieth anniversary. The first version of the draft has been sent to her. I’ve also tried to contact her, but she doesn’t answer my calls. I’m unable to get any feedback from her, so I’m unsure how to make revisions. Please have Mr. Ye show the draft to your wife.”

Ye Congwen roughly listened to what she said, but was dissatisfied with the polite and distant address.

“What do you mean by Mr. Ye? I’m your father!”

“I’m at work.”

Nan Jiaojiao shot back with just one sentence.

Ye Congwen let out a breath, “I’ve advised you to resign before. This job isn’t suitable for you. Your mother wouldn’t harm you. Besides, you’re only a sophomore and haven’t learned much yet. There’s no hurry to enter society so early. If you want an internship, any small family company can let you in, so why rush to prove yourself?”

Rushing to prove herself?

Nan Jiaojiao believed she had already distanced herself from the Ye Family. She wasn’t actively seeking attention, so who was she trying to impress?

“I won’t resign. Since Mrs. Ye specifically requested me, please have her cooperate. If she really can’t stand me, she can switch to another designer. By giving me the cold shoulder and not making contact, the company can’t find any fault with me to fire me. Please convey this to her, Mr. Ye. I’ll visit your residence in the next couple of days; whether I see her or not is Mrs. Ye’s concern, but no matter how much she stirs things up, she won’t harm me in the slightest. Just wait and see.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s words left no room for pleasantries.

Ye Congwen had never felt so choked before.

She was truly a tough nut to crack, not listening no matter what was said!

Ye Congwen realized from her tone that she was about to hang up, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say and sighed, “Alright, I’ll speak to your mother about it.”

“Thank you.”

Nan Jiaojiao ended the call and returned to her desk to continue working.

The next day, she waited outside the Ye Family house early in the morning. She didn’t go inside and asked the security to pass on a message, but they were very perfunctory.

She waited until the afternoon; not to mention Lin Shuyun, not even a servant came out to greet her.

Nan Jiaojiao knew Lin Shuyun was inside. Ye Congwen should have passed on the message, but still, she was treated coldly like this.

She wasn’t in a hurry; she pretended by sending messages inside twice. The servants were always dismissive of her, looking at her with quite a bit of glee. Everyone in the Ye Family knew that despite Shiqing leaving, Nan Jiaojiao, their own flesh and blood, was still not welcomed home; the masters didn’t value her, so why would the servants show any kindness?

When it was time to get off work, Nan Jiaojiao didn’t wait a second longer. She packed up her drawing board, wiped the bench she’d been waiting on all day, and drove away.
