In the room, Mo Beichen went into the bathroom to wash up. Suddenly, Xia Weilan remembered something and picked up her phone.
"Hello, Z. I'm sorry. I'm no longer in the Xia family's company."
"You're not in the Xia family's company? I heard you were on a business trip. My people went there to discuss cooperation but didn't see you. What's going on?" Z asked in surprise.
Xia Weilan had no choice but to tell the story of the company's sudden change: "I'm really sorry. We promised to cooperate together at the beginning, but now I've left the company and left you alone."
As soon as Z heard that he would have to cooperate with Xia Ruolin, he immediately said, "I cooperated with the Xia family because of you. Since you're no longer in the company, I don't think I need to continue this project."
"I'm sorry. If you want to terminate the cooperation, I'm willing to pay the liquidated damages. I hope we'll have a chance to cooperate again in the future."
Z rejected this proposal: "I'm not short of that liquidated damages. I understand your situation. I'm planning to launch a new design during the Chinese New Year and would like to invite you to participate in the design. What do you think?"
Xia Weilan didn't expect that instead of blaming her, the other party invited her to continue the cooperation. She immediately replied, "Okay. This time, I won't let you down. I'm really looking forward to designing with you."
After Xia Weilan hung up the phone, she immediately opened her email. It was the design theme and the preliminary concept sent by Z.
When Mo Beichen came out of the bathroom, he saw Xia Weilan concentrating in front of the computer.
He dried his hair, walked over, leaned against her back, and looked at the screen.
"Great Designer Z invited me to design products with him and launch the jewelry for next spring!" Xia Weilan explained.
Seeing Xia Weilan so excited, Mo Beichen inexplicably felt a strange feeling in his heart. He suddenly snatched her laptop and put it on the table.
"Since it's for next year, put it aside for now. It's time to go to bed."
Xia Weilan's eyes flickered. She thought the "going to bed" he mentioned meant something else.
Mo Beichen turned off the light and groped for her waist. Xia Weilan moved a little shyly.
"Don't want to sleep?" Mo Beichen's voice fell beside her ear.
Xia Weilan's face immediately flushed red. So, what Mo Beichen meant by "going to bed" was just going to sleep.
"Go to sleep!" Xia Weilan said sullenly.
"Okay." In the darkness, Mo Beichen reached out and opened the collar of her clothes.
Xia Weilan was a bit confused. She only felt that Mo Beichen's hands didn't stop. He unbuttoned her pajamas all the way and then groped to unhook her bra.
"It's more comfortable to sleep like this!" Mo Beichen said.
Xia Weilan let out a breath. Was Mo Beichen serious? He did such an ambiguous action but said such a proper thing.
Xia Weilan stiffened awkwardly for a long time before slowly relaxing her body.
She didn't know that in the darkness, Mo Beichen's dark eyes had been staring at her expression. The corners of his eyes curved, and a hint of interest flashed in them.
Xia Weilan smelled the nice masculine fragrance on him and soon relaxed and fell into a dream.
But Mo Beichen couldn't fall asleep. He had trapped himself. He suddenly felt extremely hot.
But seeing Xia Weilan sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her up. So he forced himself to calm down.
But his self - control seemed to be useless. The more he restrained himself, the more he thought about it. So his fingers slipped in along the hem of her skirt again, and his big palm pressed on her waist.
Xia Weilan felt a bit itchy and turned over, pressing on his palm.
Mo Beichen's eyes were hot in the darkness, but he had to keep silent.
It was a long time before he calmed down. He hugged her and fell asleep.
The next day.
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen went to the company together. Xia Weilan got off the elevator at the project department and walked towards the front desk.
"Hello, I'm here to report!" As soon as the receptionist heard this, she immediately looked at Xia Weilan with bright eyes, like a searchlight, curiously sizing her up.
Now in the whole project department, who didn't know that the new manager's assistant was the president's wife, who had come to experience the work of ordinary employees.
"Oh, Miss Xia, right? The manager's office is over there. Please follow me." The receptionist enthusiastically led Xia Weilan there.
Xia Weilan entered the office and saw a man sitting in front of the desk, busy on the phone. He seemed to be a decisive person. The man casually glanced at Xia Weilan, continued his phone call, and pointed at the documents on the desk, gesturing a five to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan reacted and immediately picked up the documents and left.
The receptionist hadn't left yet and immediately said, "Your studio is next door. There's a printer in your office."
"Thank you!" Xia Weilan said.
The receptionist stared at Xia Weilan's back, a bit stunned. Was she dreaming? The legendary ill - tempered Miss Xia had actually said thank you to her.
In the meeting room, Xia Weilan distributed the documents to the customers in front of her. There were five of them in total, led by a well - dressed young lady.
The project manager said politely, "This is our company's latest quotation."
The female customer casually flipped through the document. Seeing a lot of words, she immediately had a headache and only looked at the final figure.
"Why has it suddenly increased so much?"
The female customer's voice was extremely shrill, like the teeth of a saw. Xia Weilan frowned in surprise.
But the project manager was used to it and his face remained unchanged. "You can check the information for the reason. It includes the post - maintenance cost, some after - service fees, and there's also a supervision regulation which is..."
Before the project manager could finish his words, the female customer suddenly stood up from her chair, excitedly opened the door of the meeting room.
Not far outside the door, Mo Beichen was walking while talking to Xu Wei. Then he simply stood a few meters outside the meeting room and stopped.
Xia Weilan also saw Mo Beichen. She didn't expect to see him so soon. She saw that he was very busy, always bowing his head and instructing Xu Wei.
"President Mo!" the female customer shouted in surprise.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen in the distance looked up, looked at the people at the meeting - room door, his eyes deep.
Only then did the project manager remember that Xia Weilan was the president's wife. He was so busy that he almost forgot about it. He immediately asked, "President Mo, do you have any instructions?"
Mo Beichen's gaze swept over Xia Weilan and he said lightly, "Just passing by. You guys go on with your work."
Hearing this, the project manager glanced at Xia Weilan. It was rare for the president to pass by. The purpose was all too obvious.
The project manager invited the female customer to return to the meeting room. Unexpectedly, the female customer suddenly said,
"President Mo, you've come. Why don't you discuss the cooperation with us? After all, I'm the eldest daughter of the Dong family. I'm qualified, right?"
The words were very explicit, meaning that she was worthy of discussing business with Mo Beichen in person.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen actually agreed and directly walked into the meeting room.
The eldest daughter of the Dong family was overjoyed and walked in happily.
