Under the applause and flowers, Avice visited Xie Min's company, Rui Min. The company looked lively, but only the company's internal staff and the company's CEO, Xie Min, knew that the company was close to collapse.

Xie Min forced out a smile as she explained the situation of the company.

Ivicki was not interested in those results — the company's cooperation projects. What she wanted to see was the company's design team. For a clothing company, only the design department was the most important core.

"Min, you know. "That's not what I want to see. Take me to see the company's design team." Ivicki made the request.

Xie Min looked flabbergasted. She had expected this to happen, but she was still a bit flustered. The reason was that the design team of Rui Min had been reduced to a mess after Tang Tianbao had left.

"What is it? Worried that I would steal your designs? " Avice said.

"NO!" That's not what I meant. I really didn't mean that. " Xie Min quickly explained.

"Then let's go." A look of joy appeared on her face.

She followed as if the company had not been run by her, but by her; as if she were taking her on a tour.

When Avice arrived at the design department, she was dumbfounded. She did not know what to say about Xie Min. When she was in France, she thought that Xie Min was someone who had her own opinions. She never expected that her company did not value the design department and did not have any proper designers.

"Qi, you don't need to say anything." Xie Min had long since noticed Ivy's expression. She stopped her words because she didn't want to talk about her company's internal affairs anymore.

Avice didn't say anything, because she really didn't know what to say. If she opened her mouth, she would start cursing. With her commitment to fashion, her eyes couldn't tolerate sand. She was disappointed and sad. She kept shaking her head, a look of displeasure on her face.

Xie Min forced out a smile as she escorted Ivy back to the hotel.

After sending off Ivy, Xie Min looked depressed. She leaned back in her boss's chair, her eyes open, lost in thought. She knew that her company was facing a huge test. For a clothing company, not having its own design team was a very sad thing to do. Before this, she also had her own design team. Although they weren't first-rate designers, they still sold quite well every time they left the factory. But now? She had nothing. The company he had single-handedly set up was ruined just like that? She was unwilling. However, if Flying Bird couldn't be sold, his company would very likely collapse.

However, trouble didn't come alone. What happened next made Xie Min even more frustrated and infuriated.

"Flying Bird" recently launched clothing, all at half price. Advertisements of this kind can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of Chaozhou.

Tang Tianbao, who was working on the construction site, also saw the advertisements. He felt that he couldn't continue to act like this. He had to stand out and help Xie Min. Tang Tianbao was very clear-headed. Xie Min might have treated his actions as air, but he still did it. Perhaps his actions were no longer just for the sake of love. He didn't know what else, but he couldn't stand by and watch as Xie Min failed. Deep down in his heart, he didn't allow this to happen.

Tang Tianbao knew that Xie Min's nature was kind. Even if she expelled him, it was only a misunderstanding. He still firmly believed that Xie Min still had feelings for him. In his mind, he could still clearly remember the moment he was knocked down by Xie Min's car. At that moment, he seemed to have already made up his mind.

Tang Tianbao's uninvited appearance caused the already distracted Xie Min to grow even more annoyed. She still could not forgive Tang Tianbao. She still could not believe that there was such a sinister person in this society. She would rather believe that this society was beautiful. She would rather live in a perfect and kind fairy tale. She could not understand why the human heart was so sinister. Her pure personality had always been unable to understand. In fact, she did not even notice that she had already learned the survival instinct in this deceitful society. She had changed, otherwise she would not have treated Tang Tianbao so seriously.

When Tang Tianbao walked into "Rui Min", he felt completely different. He couldn't tell if it was a stranger or someone familiar. Although most of the employees were still there, they always gave off a lazy feeling, like the dying sun in the evening.

Was it really over? Isn't there any room for manoeuvre? Tang Tianbao repeatedly asked himself in his heart.

Not necessarily. Nothing is so absolute. Tang Tianbao mustered up the courage to enter the company's main hall. Many of them had familiar faces, but all of them had unfamiliar expressions on their faces. They looked at Tang Tianbao as if he was an uninvited guest, and even began to discuss something under their breath. Their voices were very soft, almost to the point of a whisper. Tang Tianbao simply couldn't hear anything.

Tang Tianbao's mind was clear. Although he knew that his colleagues from the past didn't speak kindly of him, he still took the initiative to greet them with a smile on his face.

"Hello, everyone! "Long time no see." Tang Tianbao said with a smile.

However, no one paid any attention to Tang Tianbao. They lowered their heads in unison and busied themselves with their own affairs.

Tang Tianbao awkwardly stood on the spot for a while. His stiff face forced out a superfluous smile as he walked towards Xie Min's office.

At this moment, Yu Meng walked out of Xie Min's office with a wronged expression on her face, as if she had just been scolded by her boss.

Yu Meng flew into a rage as she coincidentally bumped into Tang Tianbao.

"You're going to die!" Yu Meng cursed before she could clearly see who it was.

"I'm sorry …" Tang Tianbao hurriedly apologized. His jaw was also heavily smacked, causing him to feel pain at this moment.

After the two of them focused their eyes, they discovered that …

"Dream?!" You... You... Fortunately … "Alright." Tang Tianbao stammered.

Upon discovering that it was Tang Tianbao, Yu Meng became even angrier. She pouted, her almond-shaped eyes wide and angry. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just cursed, "Get out of my way!"

Tang Tianbao opened up a space for Yu Meng. Yu Meng took the chance to run away.

Xie Min had indeed just finished scolding Yu Meng. Unfortunately, Tang Tianbao happened to arrive at Xie Min's office at this time.

He stood in the doorway and knocked gently, with a gentleman's courtesy.

"Enter!" Xie Min's words carried a hint of gunpowder within them.

Tang Tianbao had thought of running away and coming back another day, but since his hand had already pushed open the door, he might as well go. Since he was already here, he might as well "die". Tang Tianbao walked in with a "certain death" attitude.

When Xie Min saw Tang Tianbao, her expression immediately stiffened.

"Thank you …" "Director Xie …" Tang Tianbao was a little nervous as he couldn't even speak clearly.

"What's the matter?" Xie Min immediately averted her gaze from Tang Tianbao as she coldly asked.

"Oh …" Delay you a bit... "Can I?" Tang Tianbao's attitude was still very sincere.

"Speak, then quickly leave." Xie Min's attitude was as cold as ever.

"The Flying Bird is on sale at half price? Do you know? " Tang Tianbao anxiously said.

The emperor was not in a hurry, and the overseer was. Xie Min sneered and said disdainfully to Tang Tianbao, "So what?"

"Haven't we done anything?" Seeing Xie Min's state, Tang Tianbao became even more anxious.

"Does that have anything to do with you?" Xie Min was getting annoyed. She retorted with a question to Tang Tianbao.

Tang Tianbao was dumbstruck. He was rendered speechless by Xie Min's command.

When Xie Min saw Tang Tianbao, she unconsciously thought back to his betrayal of the cooperation contract. When he thought of this, the anger in his heart vanished.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave." Xie Min was also silent for a moment. She saw that Tang Tianbao didn't seem to have any more words to say.

"Director Xie, actually, I think we should …" He seemed to be completely intoxicated with his own thoughts, completely ignoring the myriad of changes in Xie Min's expression. He thought that his own method was the only way to save "Ruimin", and only by doing so would he be able to save "Ruimin" from its suffering. He even mentioned the "Flying Bird" business model. He talked about it as if he was the boss of Rui Min and was giving work to his subordinates. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Tang Tianbao had done it. However, the more clearly he described the Flying Bird, the more Xie Min suspected Tang Tianbao. If he wasn't an employee of Flying Bird, how would he know so much about the inner workings?

Xie Min had already lost her patience. She slapped the table and shouted at Tang Tianbao, "Don't say anymore, please leave immediately. Otherwise, I'll call 110! " Xie Min was filled with indignation.

Tang Tianbao's entire body froze. He stared blankly at the furious Xie Min, momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

Xie Min held the phone in her hand and looked into Tang Tianbao's eyes. In an instant, a feeling of pity grew in Xie Min's heart. This feeling of pity was not out of her imagination. She had an impression of it in her mind. It was as if he had seen such a gaze somewhere before …

However, Xie Min couldn't recall anything at the moment. Her attitude towards Tang Tianbao had also decreased, and she felt even more pity for this man.

"Thank you, Director …" Tang Tianbao slowly spoke with a pleading tone.

Xie Min completely listened to Tang Tianbao's words. She looked at Tang Tianbao with rapt attention. After a while, she suddenly remembered something …
