What the men cared about was how much the bonuses would be, and how they would take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with the higher-ups so that they could reach the peak of their lives.

The large meeting room was filled with the directors, managers, and supervisors of each department.

Chen Xi and Duan Wenyu coincidentally met at the entrance of the conference room.

"Morning, designer Chen."

Chen Xi looked at her and thought of the gift she gave her yesterday. At this moment, she thought of something.

If you don't have anything to offer, then you're a thief.

"Morning, Designer Duan." Chen Xi replied indifferently.

"Oh yeah, I still haven't thanked Designer Duan for his generous offer. How about giving me a gem?" Chen Xi continued.

"Designer Chen, there's no need to be polite. Everyone is doing it for the company. Being able to give a gem to someone who can display its worth can be considered Opal's honor." Duan Wenyu smiled humbly.

Chen Xi sneered in her heart. For the company? These words were extremely good. It was a good reason, but she really couldn't find any reason to reject.

Chen Xi laughed.

"Then you might as well do as you're told."

"With the beauty of a man of honor, Designer Duan will let me be a gentleman this once." Duan Wenyu's face did not reveal any dissatisfaction towards Chen Xi.

The two chatted like old friends. This caused many managers who knew that they had a conflict to be taken aback.

They all began to guess if the two of them had reached an agreement. Later on, someone said that Designer Duan gave a priceless gem to designer Chen yesterday. Now, everyone understood.

It turned out that they had settled the matter. Seeing that there was nothing to gossip about, the group of people dispersed and found a seat.

Chen Xi and Duan Wenyu, however, stopped talking and sat down on their seats. Duan Wenyu looked at her face and face with a face that made her hate him to death.

Soon, however, she would never have to see that face again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart and then become in a good mood.

"What did she just say to you?" The moment Chen Xi sat down, Meng Qingxia came over and asked.

"Nothing, just a greeting." Chen Xi smiled faintly.

Meng Qingxia was even more baffled. Duan Wenyu greeting with Chen Xi?

This was simply impossible. Although Meng Qingxia didn't believe it in her heart, she still asked in a small voice.

"Did you really accept her gift of gems?"

"Otherwise? If I were to go back, it would just show how pretentious I am. " Chen Xi laughed.

Meng Qingxia looked at her speechlessly. Could this even be considered a reason?

Meng Qingxia wanted to ask more, but when she saw Tang Hongbo walk in, she immediately shut his mouth.

Chen Xi looked at Meng Qingxia and realised that she had immediately quietened down.

She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. All these years, she was still the same cousin to him, but she was also a little bitter. Everyone around her was changing, even she was changing, yet she was extremely envious of Meng Qingxia.

She would never forget her first wish. She would always be so beautiful, like a sunflower in the middle of summer. She would always be so beautiful.

However, she would never return to that beautiful age. All these years of experience had gradually smoothed out her edges.

Other than the matter of her revenge, she would never be anxious about anything else.

When Tang Hongbo came in, the meeting room was already filled with people.

He felt a little warmth in his heart when he looked at Chen Xi before placing the document in his hand on the conference table.

The topic of the meeting was nothing more than the discussion of the annual meeting and the release of next week's new product.

"CEO, why don't you put the annual event together with the new product? This saves both time and cost. " Someone suddenly suggested.

Tang Hongbo rejected it without even thinking. His explanation was …

"The annual meeting is for the hard-working staff to enjoy themselves, and the press conference is for the job. I hope my staff will work hard when they work, but it's time to have fun when they play."

Very quickly, Tang Hongbo's words spread throughout the company. Everyone was full of praise for their CEO, Tang Hongbo had successfully raised his image as a man in the hearts of the employees.

"Alright, leave the matters of the annual party to the Public Relations Department and the Planning Department. Does anyone have any objections?" Tang Hongbo swept his gaze across everyone present.

Seeing that no one spoke, Tang Hongbo continued to speak.

"Then let's talk about next week's new product release. Director of Jewelry Design Department, give it a try." Tang Hongbo looked at Meng Qingxia and said.

Hearing that, Meng Qingxia stood up immediately and explained in a serious tone.

Seeing Meng Qingxia's endless speech, Chen Xi felt that she had really grown up. She was no longer like the first time he saw her, but instead looked like a rebellious child.

The current Meng Qingxia had already grown up, so there was no need for them to worry.

"Very good, Director Meng's suggestion is very good. Next up, is Designer Chen and Designer Duan. "Each of you will hand over your design work and your team to my office today before getting off work. I'll make a final confirmation. Is there a problem?" Tang Hongbo looked at Chen Xi and Duan Wenyu.

"No problem." Duan Wenyu and Bie Chen said at the same time.

"Alright, this is the end of today's meeting." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.

But Chen Xi never thought that what happened next would truly catch her off guard.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi and Duan Wenyu came to Tang Hongbo's office almost at the same time.

"Designer Chen, are you here to hand in your design draft as well?" Duan Wenyu saw the folder in Chen Xi's hands.

"Otherwise?" Chen Xi replied.

"Hmm, I hope that your design will allow the CEO to..." Duan Wenyu purposely paused for a second.

"Satisfied."

Chen Xi ignored her, and directly walked towards Tang Hongbo, naturally she did not see the smile of success from Duan Wenyu's conspiracy behind her.

Duan Wenyu also walked over, and said with a somewhat soft and weak voice.

"CEO, this is the design script. Take a look." Duan Wen said as he handed the design over.

"Put it down." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.

"This is mine." Chen Xi also passed it over.

"Yes."

After Tang Hongbo finished signing the last document, he slowly raised his head. Seeing Chen Xi and Duan Wenyu come together, he thought that they had reconciled, and was naturally happy in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he picked up the document on the table.

He flipped it over carefully and said.

"Un, not bad, Wenyu, you have improved your design skills quite a bit, looks like you have put in a lot of effort." Tang Hongbo smiled faintly.

After receiving Tang Hongbo's praise, Duan Wenyu was naturally ecstatic. She looked at Chen Xi and said proudly.

"Thank you, CEO, for your praise. My hard work has not been in vain."

"Try hard not to show it to anyone, but for yourself. I hope you'll remember this." Tang Hongbo suddenly said with a cold voice.

Duan Wenyu nodded silently.

"Alright, this time's new product release will pass. Tomorrow, we will send it to the finished product." Tang Hongbo said as he handed the folder over to Duan Wenyu.

Tang Hongbo looked at Chen Xi. Seeing that she had not spoken a word, she couldn't help but laugh inside her heart.

"Is this yours?" Tang Hongbo picked up another folder.

Chen Xi nodded.

Tang Hongbo smiled as he flipped it open. He had always known that Chen Xi had designed all sorts of water products, but never would he have thought that even if they were painted on paper, people would still have the desire to buy them.

"As expected of a famous French designer, the decision Director Meng made to invite you to our Tang Clan was the best decision she ever made." Tang Hongbo could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"Thank you." Chen Xi replied indifferently.

"You said before that you had a top-of-the-line jewellery design, and you even used a very expensive jewel. Which one is it?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"On the last page." Chen Xi said.

Tang Hongbo immediately flipped to the last page, and what entered his eyes was an extremely beautiful and design looking necklace.

The key point was that its pendant was in the shape of a cherry flower, but the stamen in the middle was empty. Tang Hongbo couldn't help but look at Chen Xi.

"Why is the middle stamen empty?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"Because I hadn't thought of what gem to use as its stamen, but I still had to thank Designer Duan for his generosity and generosity in giving it to me, Opal. Thank you, Designer Duan." Chen Xi said as she looked at Duan Wenyu.

"This is just a small matter, do you want to thank me or not?" Duan Wenyu replied.

"So it's Opal. Does it have a name?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"Loveheart." Chen Xi said indifferently.

"The love of the heart?" Tang Hongbo muttered to himself.

"I like it." The smile on Tang Hongbo's face became deeper as he looked at her.

Duan Wenyu looked at Chen Xi with extreme hatred, but in front of Tang Hongbo, she still restrained herself a little.

Chen Xi smiled and did not say a word.

"Alright, I'm very satisfied with your designs. I'll send it for production. I'm looking forward to the design of your new product next week." Tang Hongbo said as he looked at the two of them.

Chen Xi said as she and Duan Wenyu walked out of Tang Hongbo's office.

"Loveheart? It's quite a good name. Hopefully next week, it can really be like you said, still pulsing. "

"What do you mean?" Chen Xi asked.

"There's no point, I'll be leaving first." Duan Wenyu said as she turned to leave.

Chen Xi did not even have the time to think about what Duan Wenyu had said before she was interrupted by a phone call.

She looked at her phone, it was Han Hao.

"Brother Han Hao, are you back?" Chen Xi immediately asked happily.

A low laugh came from the other end of the line.

"Yeah, did you get off work?" I'll pick you up. " Han Hao said.

"Mm. Alright." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Just as Chen Xi hung up the phone, Tang Hongbo appeared behind her back.

"What is it? Why are you so happy?" Tang Hongbo's sudden words startled her.

She turned around and said with a dark expression.

"None of your business."

Tang Hongbo laughed.

"It's time to get off work. Let me take you home."

"No, thanks. Goodbye." With that, Chen Xi ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Tang Hongbo shook his head and followed him.
