Su Yuan’s face didn’t show much surprise, but he witnessed Shu Pan’s recent situation and felt concerned for her. He couldn’t show too much emotion, though, as the cooperation was based on the company’s interests, and he couldn’t give the impression of mixing personal matters with business.

He didn’t know what had happened, but he was aware that Shu Pan must be very disappointed to lose this opportunity. After all, their current project had a significant impact, and their design could potentially make them famous.

“It’s a pity. Shu Pan’s designs have always been favored. Mr. Su, you see, Shu Pan’s design sketches are missing. Actually, MO Qing’s design also fits the company’s requirements very well. She can provide a few more design concepts of different styles for your consideration.” Director He Guoping took the opportunity to suggest. He had favored MO Qing from the start, and now it was even more appropriate. Fate seemed to be on her side.

“Alright. Miss MO, please provide a few design concepts for now, ” Su Yuan reluctantly said. Originally, he gave them the opportunity because of Shu Pan. Now that this had happened, without the design sketches, he couldn’t say much more. He could only console her privately, as the matter of collaboration was urgent.

With the matter settled, everyone dispersed.

Shu Pan returned to her office with a sense of loss. She couldn’t figure it out. Everything seemed fine when she left last night, so how could it have turned out this way?

Suddenly, she stood up and headed towards Director He’s office. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard He Guoping’s reprimanding voice from inside.

“Did you do it? Did you delete Shu Pan’s design drafts?” His voice held certainty. He could think of no one else but her.

“What’s wrong? What did I do? Didn’t you promise that I’m responsible for this design? I just didn’t want any extra trouble,” MO Qing pouted and acted coquettishly towards him.

“But you shouldn’t have deleted them. What if her design sketches were better? What you did damages the company’s interests.” He Guoping said meaningfully, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.

“Alright, I understand.” MO Qing sat on his lap and whispered softly. She knew how to get to him. After all, she had risen to her current position in the company by using similar tactics.

“Darling, you can rest assured, I’m always thinking of you. How about we go out to celebrate tonight? What do you think? Mmm…

Shu Pan stood by the door, her hand hesitating over the knock. She felt a bit nauseated. This was the truth. It was truly nauseating.

Not long after, MO Qing came out. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her face a bit flushed, and her lip gloss had smeared.

Shu Pan pretended not to notice, but her stomach churned in waves.

As she packed her belongings, she thought that she truly hadn’t understood the unwritten rules of the workplace. She had been working for so long, yet still, these things were beyond her comprehension.

At the end of the workday, Su Yuan called her. Shu Pan hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to answer or not. The scene of meeting Zhou Jie was still fresh m ner mina.

After the call ended, the phone rang again. Shu Pan frowned slightly. She picked up the call. “Su Yuan? What’s the matter?”

“Are you done with work? I’m waiting for you outside your company.” Su Yuan’s tone carried an implied expectation that couldn’t be refused.

“Alright.” It was unavoidable. Shu Pan also wanted to clarify things with him.

When Shu Pan left the company, Su Yuan had just stepped out of his Mercedes-Benz. He exuded elegance as he opened the car door and gestured for her to sit.

After Shu Pan got in the car, he closed the door, started the engine, and in a moment, the car disappeared into the night and the flow of traffic.

Not far away, MO Qing held her phone, a half-smile tugging at her lips as she watched Su Yuan’s car disappear around the corner. She then glanced at the photo she had just taken on her phone, her smile growing even more pronounced.

“Shu Pan, you pride yourself on being upright and moral, but now you’re with a married man. I wonder what would happen if Mrs. Su found out?” She couldn’t help but be eager to see a spectacle..
