Chapter 1560: Breaking the Rules

“It nearly suffocated me, what kind of game are you playing, little girl? I couldn’t even praise you just now, I praised the design draft. If you ask me to speak honestly, then I’d praise you. That man’s design, what a piece of crap, if I took his design back, Director Chen would absolutely beat me.”

Nan Jiaojiao politely declined, “No, please stop praising me in the future, do point out more flaws.”

Zhou Po’s eyes widened, “How could I dare!”

“You should, you should…”

“Don’t give me that, we know each other. Back when we were on set, you and Chu Yao always stole the chocolate I bought for my daughter. Why didn’t you pretend not to know me back then?”

Nan Jiaojiao spoke honestly, “Mainly because it was delicious.”

Zhou Po was amused, “Alright, I’m leaving. I can see that guy, Shen Bin, wants to bully you all. After the small intimidation I gave him, I bet he won’t dare. I’ll keep your identity a secret. Before coming, Director Chen also reminded me several times to pretend not to know you.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, “Then, please keep pretending not to know me in the future.”

Zhou Po smiled, “I’m off. When you come to the set, I’ll have them secretly send you chocolate.”

“Okay.”

Nan Jiaojiao walked him to the elevator. With people coming and going, they didn’t say much more. After he entered the elevator, she went back.

She happened to meet Pei Dongshi and Qin Qing coming out.

She took a few steps back to stand.

Pei Dongshi also stopped, “Not bad. Keep it up, and you’ll be promoted in a few days.”

Nan Jiaojiao and Qin Qing both looked at him. The latter immediately objected, “No way! She’s only been here for less than a month. We agreed on a three-month probation. You’re breaking the rules!”

“Didn’t you hear what Producer Zhou just said?”

Pei Dongshi turned slightly towards her, raising his brows a little, his expressionless face covered with a layer of coldness. “He may not be a designer, but he’s been in the crew for over ten years, dealing with many stylists. Can’t he tell good from bad? As for you, you also rose step by step from being a designer. Have you grown rusty over the years? You only glanced at Shen Bin’s and Nan Jiaojiao’s works, then started scolding in front of everyone. Did you really see clearly?”

It was a matter of personal enmity.

Qin Qing’s eyes flickered, naturally unwilling to admit, firmly saying, “Anyway, promoting her early is against the rules and won’t convince everyone!”

Pei Dongshi chuckled indifferently, “Fine, then wait for the full three months.”

Qin Qing was left speechless.

“You don’t need to follow me anymore, go back to your office.”

With one sentence, Pei Dongshi blocked her, leaving Qin Qing biting her lip, her face alternating between pale and blushing. Once Pei Dongshi left, her sharp gaze immediately turned towards Nan Jiaojiao.

Nan Jiaojiao looked back calmly.

Qin Qing ultimately said nothing and turned to leave.

Su Miaotong was overjoyed, pulling Nan Jiaojiao to praise her, “That was amazing, Jiaojiao, you completely surprised me.”

Nan Jiaojiao modestly lowered her head, “Not at all…”

“No need to be humble, everyone has seen your capabilities. Producer Zhou is knowledgeable; if he wasn’t truly satisfied, he wouldn’t have reacted like that,” Su Miaotong glanced at the figure coming out of the meeting room, deliberately clearing her throat, “Relying on your real abilities, why shouldn’t you be proud? It’s far better than those who always think about taking shortcuts.”

It’s obvious who she’s referring to.

The remark was akin to directly taunting Shen Bin.

He stared straight at Nan Jiaojiao, the corners of his mouth flattening, his face veiled with a layer of darkness, devoid of a smile.
