Chapter 1557: Quitting the Job

Qin Qing responded lightly, almost dismissively.

Shen Bin escorted her all the way to the meeting room door before going back to organize his things.

“Master Su, how about we discuss a bit more and finalize a draft? That way, we’ll be more prepared this afternoon.”

Su Miaotong initially thought it was a good idea, but those words, “how about,” made it sound like she was being forced.

She quickly packed up her things, stood up, and didn’t even bother to look directly at him. “No need. Since Master Shen has an idea, you go ahead and decide. If I recklessly alter your work, afraid that our ideas won’t align, it might be offensive.”

Shen Bin’s expression remained the same, as if he didn’t catch the underlying meaning. “How could that be? Master Su, your skills surpass mine. I still need your guidance.”

“Please, I don’t deserve it.”

Su Miaotong had always been the agreeable type, rarely speaking with such sharpness. It showed she was truly angry, too reluctant to say more, and called Nan Jiaojiao to head back to the office with her.

The bottled-up frustration finally erupted.

“What does he mean by this? He didn’t even discuss it with us. We were just waiting eagerly to exchange opinions with him, cautiously drafting a preliminary version. I thought today’s meeting was for the three of us to merge our ideas, hoping to come up with one or two solid ones if all went smoothly. But then he went ahead and did it himself, catching us completely off guard. The way he presented himself in front of Director Qin, it made me sick just watching!”

Nan Jiaojiao poured a glass of water and handed it to her. Su Miaotong took it and drank more than half.

“Calm down.”

“If we didn’t have a contract, I’d just quit!”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, somewhat understanding. Although Su Miaotong had a higher standing than Shen Bin in their three-person team, and even if they didn’t follow her opinion, they should have at least discussed it together. Shen Bin had gone behind her back and showed his solo design to Director Qin, essentially betraying her.

Anyone would be angry.

For Nan Jiaojiao, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just the beginning, and getting worked up over internal affairs wasn’t necessary. Besides, Director Chen despised sycophancy and pretentiousness. As long as Shen Bin was genuinely capable, it would be fine; otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where he went wrong.

“So, are you really planning to quit?”

“Why should I! Let Shen Bin take the spotlight alone? I want to see how he plans to satisfy the production team this afternoon!”

Fueled by determination, Su Miaotong picked up her sketches and got busy.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t stay around.

As she came out of the office, she happened to meet Shen Bin coming out of Yu Bing’s office. He proactively stopped her and handed his sketches to her.

“Jiaojiao, I’m going out with Master Yu to meet a client later. I might not have time to finish these drafts. Could you help complete them for me? I’ve already designed the concept; just sketch along the lines I mentioned. It won’t take much effort.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow.

As soon as her expression changed, Shen Bin’s smile grew broader. “I thought since we’re part of the same team, it’s best not to give them to someone else. If the drafts get leaked, it would be troublesome. I couldn’t find anyone else. Rest assured, the credit is ours, all three of us. I won’t sell you short, okay?”

Nan Jiaojiao took the sketches, her expression neutral. “Alright.”

Shen Bin paused, surprised. “Really, you can finish them before I get back?”

He seemed to have prepared a speech, but her straightforward response halted him.

Nan Jiaojiao replied, “Yes.”

His eyes reflected a deeper meaning, and he quickly smiled, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao responded briefly and returned to her desk.

She casually placed Shen Bin’s sketches on the table.
