Chapter 1556: Scheming

Shen Bin smiled, “Thank you, Director Qin.”

“But there’s one thing,” Qin Qing looked intentionally towards Nan Jiaojiao, “Character matters. They’re using your connections, but don’t be too arrogant in the company. Don’t think that having backing lets you act recklessly, breaking company rules. E.Y values ability. Under my watch, tricks won’t work.”

Shen Bin folded his hands in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, “Rest assured, Director Qin, I know the character and ability of the people I bring out. Thank you for giving them this opportunity.” He parked the car by the roadside, turned on the lights, cupped Nan Jiaojiao’s face with one hand, and leaned down to kiss her.

Her mouth was full of strawberry and milk taste as he kissed her lips, deepening the kiss, reluctantly sticking together a few times when separating.

Nan Jiaojiao was kissed into a daze, nestled softly in his arms, not moving, Bo Yanching deliberately asked her, “Did you eat enough earlier?”

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly responded, “No, I ate but not enough. I can’t eat well when you’re not here.”

He chuckled low, “That’s perfect.”

Upon returning, Nan Jiaojiao was thoroughly devoured, and when he took her to bathe in the middle of the night, her body was so soft it had no strength. She couldn’t figure out why his fire was still so intense, his body burning like he’d taken some medicine.

The next day in the meeting, Qin Qing asked if they had designed the Cheongsam styles. Su Miaotong provided her design proposal, but currently only the outline was sketched. With it being a collaborative project, the concepts needed unity to design works of the same series.

Shen Bin also provided design drawings, but his papers were relatively complete; in just a few days, he’d designed three Cheongsams for the second female lead, styles and colors leaning towards dark cyan, matching the film’s overall somber and tragic tone.

Su Miaotong instinctively frowned, “Master Shen didn’t discuss with me before starting?”

“It’s my fault, last time you found me, showed me your design, I heard a little, thought our ideas aligned, couldn’t help but start designing, thinking I’d create a model first, after all, it’ll be revised several times later.”

Su Miaotong did talk to him, but had brought Nan Jiaojiao along, equivalent to the three of them having a mini meeting.

At that time, Nan Jiaojiao also gave her input, Su Miaotong was very satisfied with her proposal, praised her a bit, while Shen Bin remained silent, didn’t say whether he would adopt them, and turned to design himself.

What did it mean? Using opinions but planning to take everything for himself, forcing others to become accessories?

Especially Shen Bin, who even when exposed maintained a humble posture, apologized first, but already pushed the design drawings in front of Qin Qing.

“The crew will come to inspect this afternoon, I thought it’d be better to have something at hand to show them, it’ll facilitate communication. This is just the first version of the drawing, more revisions will be made later.”

Qin Qing deliberately glanced at Su Miaotong, while Nan Jiaojiao was never in her sights.

She flipped to the last page, “Okay, this afternoon show your version to the crew.”

After finishing, Qin Qing stood up, with Shen Bin being the first to stand up, ready to escort.

“By the way, I have several junior designers under me who’ve been with me for years. I plan to select two to help me, and will hire them according to the company’s recruitment standards, starting as interns.”

Qin Qing said, “No need, hire directly the ones you’re used to working with.”
