Chapter 1516: Specifically Chose You

She subtly shifted her gaze, fixing it on a certain spot for a few seconds.

Everyone followed her line of sight and looked in the same direction.

“Nan Jiaojiao,” Qin Qing said, “Director Chen specifically chose you as the stylist for the crew. Did you know about this?”

Nan Jiaojiao, who only intended to take it easy, suddenly became the center of attention. She stood up straight, her expression calm, “I didn’t know.”

“But Director Chen specifically asked for you, and aside from you, he didn’t ask for anyone else from President Pei.”

A jump in Nan Jiaojiao’s heart signaled her that something was amiss.

Qin Qing said that, but for such a big project, it wouldn’t be left to just Nan Jiaojiao alone. Elevating her position so high meant it wouldn’t be suitable to appoint anyone subsequently. Moreover, considering her status in the company, everyone present, except for Yue Yu, had more qualifications than her.

Nan Jiaojiao forced a smile, maintaining a calm tone, “Director Qin, I really didn’t know. I previously worked with the crew of ‘The Empress’s Killing’ and met Director Chen a few times, but we didn’t have a deep connection. Perhaps Director Chen is used to working with familiar people.”

“You said you were previously under a designer, just assisting. Who was that designer?”

Nan Jiaojiao replied, “I don’t know; she only assigned work but never showed her face.”

As if there were someone else!

She felt she shouldn’t have taken on the project back then!

If not for Chu Yao, she wouldn’t have been so high-profile to create a buzz for Chu Yao’s comeback drama. However, she agreed to keep it confidential with Director Chen, and though he agreed, he turned around and informed Pei Dongshi—what confidentiality was left!

Qin Qing clearly didn’t believe her explanation, yet she couldn’t point out any obvious flaws.

The designer was indeed from E.Y., but from an overseas company. She asked Pei Dongshi about it, but he didn’t say who it was. Although Qin Qing was a director, her position didn’t carry that weight in other branches. The company has grown significantly, expanding many branches, and not all designers are familiar.

Nan Jiaojiao got into the company through the route given by that designer.

Qin Qing despised nepotism but was helpless when her initial test didn’t subdue Nan Jiaojiao, instead letting her gain significant attention.

“I see,” Qin Qing’s voice was light and indifferent, “How about this, since Director Chen specifically chose you, you’ll be responsible for the styling of his new drama. But you certainly can’t handle it alone, have Master Su help you, and additionally, Designer Shen should also accompany you.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is it intentional?

Lifting her up so high.

She, an intern, having two highly reputed designers as her assistants—how could she deserve such treatment?

“Director Qin…”

“Director, my schedule for the next two months is already fully booked. If I’m temporarily assigned to a crew, I’m afraid I can’t fit everything in.”

Just as Nan Jiaojiao began speaking, her voice was soft. Su Miaotong probably didn’t hear her. She specifically glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, seemingly hesitated for a moment, worry slightly appearing on her face, “But Jiaojiao alone… How about this, I’ll check my upcoming schedule tonight. If there are clients who aren’t urgent, I can postpone them.”

“That won’t be necessary. If you can’t fit it in, then forget it,” Qin Qing asked Shen Bin, “What about you, Master Shen?”

Shen Bin nodded slightly, “I don’t have an issue, I have plenty of time. I’ll assist this…”

He politely inquired, “May I ask your name?”

“Nan Jiaojiao.”

He said, “I’m older than you, so I’ll call you Xiao Nan, and I’ll support you.”

“Words…”

“Then it’s settled.”

Qin Qing ignored Nan Jiaojiao, not giving her a chance to speak, and stood up, “Meeting adjourned.”
