Chapter 1766: Backing

She walked straight up to Nan Jiaojiao, “I’m looking for her.”

Lin Yi’s expression instantly froze, turning angrily and speaking without thinking, “Miss Lu must be mistaken, she’s just been promoted, doesn’t have a name in the industry yet, and currently lacks the ability to take orders independently. You should be looking for Su Miaotong.”

“Should be?”

Lu Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows, casting an unfriendly look, “Are you lecturing me?”

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, her lips trembled a few times, but she didn’t dare make a sound.

Qin Qing quickly held her down, her gaze warning not to speak recklessly.

“No, Miss Lu misunderstood, Master Lin didn’t mean that. She’s concerned that Nan Jiaojiao lacks experience and couldn’t provide good service, so she offered a suggestion. It’s just her manner of speaking isn’t pleasant, but her intentions are good.”

Lu Zhenzhen snorted coldly, “But I want her, I don’t fancy anyone else.”

With those words, the people present looked a bit paler, no longer excited to see Miss Lu in person, feeling somewhat upset inside.

Nan Jiaojiao sighed inwardly, this one with a few screws loose, always reckless in speech since childhood, knowing full well she’s offending people, yet remains unfazed.

“Soon, it’ll be the six-month celebration of Lu’s. I plan to give all female employees a set of jewelry. I’ve seen Nan Jiaojiao’s designs, I like them, so I’m commissioning her to do it. No need to show me the design draft, let her decide.”

Lu Zhenzhen deliberately spoke loudly, her gaze falling on Nan Jiaojiao, naturally softening her tone, “I’ve brought the contract. Have your company’s lawyer take a look, if there’s no issue, sign it on the spot, I’ll pay the full amount in one go.”

Whoa!

Everyone gasped in unison.

Full payment, several million, Miss Lu doesn’t even blink.

“Am I the only one concerned Miss Lu is choosing Nan Jiaojiao? Master Lin and Master Yu are both free lately, why doesn’t she choose…” Before the sentence was finished, the quick-reacting person beside her hurriedly nudged her.

Lin Yi’s face already looked bad, but she didn’t dare directly show her displeasure, retreating into the crowd, angrily returning to her office.

Qin Qing glanced at her, furrowing her eyebrows for a moment, then composed herself and took the contract to look at. The content was very brief, clear at a glance.

She pursed her lips, “May I ask why?”

“Actually, I’m quite annoyed by your company’s stupid rules,” Lu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue, “I scheduled to meet Nan Jiaojiao last night, she wouldn’t agree, insisted on following company procedures, otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered coming today.”

“Last night…” Qin Qing looked at Nan Jiaojiao, “You two met last night?”

Lu Zhenzhen: “Yes.”

So that’s how it was.

Last night, the person Nan Jiaojiao went to Minglun to meet was Lu Zhenzhen.

As expected, there are reports online already changing the narrative.

“Have you checked, is there any issue with the contract?”

Qin Qing felt choked, she initially didn’t like Nan Jiaojiao, and if she took Lu Zhenzhen’s order, it would offer her an opportunity to rise quickly.

She still hadn’t figured out how to suppress Nan Jiaojiao under Pei Dongshi’s watch, unwilling to give her an opportunity to become famous.

Thinking to stall for time, or find an excuse to hold off, Lu Zhenzhen grew impatient, grabbed the contract back, opened it and threw it in front of Nan Jiaojiao.

“Sign it.”

Lu Zhenzhen feigned a glance at her watch, “I have matters to attend to, I’m in a hurry to leave.”

Nan Jiaojiao clearly saw, when Lu Zhenzhen lowered her head, she gritted her teeth and whispered a warning: “Say any polite refusals and I’ll kill you.”
