"Director Ning, are you okay? Do you need my help?" Xiao Wang said words of concern, but there was contempt and disdain in his eyes.
He truly looked down on Ning Anmiao.
No matter how much the other senior executives in the company boasted about her, wasn't she just relying on General Manager Lu as her backer?
He had seen many such women.
"I'm fine. Thank you." "Ning Anmiao" squinted her eyes and stared intently at the person in front of her.
She knew this person. His name was Wang Yi.
He was recommended by a former deputy general manager and was in charge of managing the newly signed group of artists.
He looked quite young, in his early twenties. He had a high - level education, seemed to be quite just, and had a go - getter attitude.
It's just that he was a bit impetuous.
"Director Ning, I heard that you and Designer Jiang once competed for this position, right?"
Sure enough, the other party was straightforward and spoke rudely right away: "Just now I heard you talking to your secretary about handling work impartially. So I'd like to ask, on what grounds do you hold this position?"
Lu Yan's eyes darkened.
Was this a die - hard fan of Jiang Qiwei coming to stand up for her?
"I also heard that your design copied Designer Jiang's ideas. How can you still hold this position under such circumstances? You really have the nerve."
He sneered, and his eyes staring at "Ning Anmiao" were full of hatred and disdain.
A woman relying on her backer was really disgusting.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes. He could clearly feel the other party's malice.
He wasn't angry. Instead, he just smiled: "Supervisor Wang, don't you know the principle of 'not judging without knowing the truth'?"
"Ning Anmiao"'s tone was still quite calm and could be considered polite, but her aura was clearly dominant: "Are you sure it was me who copied Jiang Qiwei's design ideas?"
Wang Yi was taken aback when he heard this.
The alcohol in "Ning Anmiao" hadn't worn off yet. Her fair cheeks still had a faint blush, looking very beautiful, yet there was an indescribable coldness about her: "There were many people in the meeting room that day. You can ask the other senior executives of Xinghe."
Wang Yi really didn't know what had happened that day. He only got to know Jiang Qiwei privately because of work and had a good relationship with her. Not long ago, he heard her complain a few times.
In her words, she was hinting that Ning Anmiao had easily ruined her efforts just because she was Lu Yan's wife.
Wang Yi had thought that "Ning Anmiao" would angrily refute, but he never expected that she would be so calm. That composure and confidence made him feel dazed for a moment.
Could it be that Designer Jiang had lied to him?
It was impossible. With Jiang Qiwei's ability, she shouldn't have lost to a half - baked designer.
"Supervisor Wang used to work in the branch company. It's normal that you don't know the situation at the headquarters."
"Ning Anmiao" wasn't angry. Instead, she said politely: "Now that we are colleagues, it's better to find out about many things first."
For some reason, this sentence made Wang Yi angry again. He gritted his teeth and shouted at "Ning Anmiao": "Colleague relationship? I'm disdainful of being a colleague with a woman like you who acts all proper!"
"I'm not afraid that you're General Manager Lu's wife. I'll just say it straight. You're not qualified for the position of design director!"
It seemed that Wang Yi had drunk a bit too much. For a moment, his emotions flared up. He loudly scolded her, gasping for breath, and his threatening tone almost hit "Ning Anmiao" in the face!
In the face of the other party's anger, "Ning Anmiao"'s face remained calm. She wasn't affected by his emotions at all, calm like a still pond.
Based on Lu Yan's way of doing things, he wouldn't be bored enough to argue with a hot - blooded young man.
Moreover, this hot - blooded young man clearly wasn't very smart.
Just then, a voice came from behind them: "She's not qualified? Then who is?"
The two of them looked up.
"Ning Anmiao" looked at the "Lu Yan" walking towards them against the light, and her eyes darkened: "Why are you here?"
"I said I was going out for some fresh air, but you didn't come back for a long time." "Lu Yan" replied.
After the previous two incidents, Ning Anmiao was naturally more vigilant than before. Seeing that Lu Yan hadn't come back for so long, she was worried that something might happen to him after drinking, so she quickly came out.
As soon as she came out, she heard their conversation.
"General Manager Lu, you came just in time." Wang Yi was obviously drunk. His face was red, and his neck was thick. He pointed at "Ning Anmiao": "General Manager Lu, I've always respected you since I entered the industry."
"It's my honor to work for Xinghe under your leadership. But can you tell me why she is the new design director of Xinghe?"
Supervisor Wang remembered Jiang Qiwei, who had looked so sad in front of him not long ago, and his heart ached: "Everyone in the industry has seen Designer Jiang's ability. But what about her!"
After saying that, he pointed his finger straight at "Ning Anmiao", which was extremely offensive: "She doesn't have any works. Is it just because she's General Manager Lu's wife?"
"If that's the case, I'm very disappointed in you and also in Xinghe Capital!"
Supervisor Wang stuck out his neck and spoke loudly. Many people around looked over and pointed at them as if they were watching a show.
"Since Supervisor Wang said we should handle things impartially, then let's do just that."
"Lu Yan"'s eyes were full of emotions, and his voice was calm: "Ning Anmiao, a three - time consecutive winner of the world - class Golden Satin Award, a cooperative designer for high - end luxury brands such as C&B, RINNIE, and CINBELL. This year, she also signed contracts with three domestic emerging light luxury brands."
As soon as these words were said, Supervisor Wang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood there stunned.
These awards and brand names were all well - known. Just one of them could be a golden sign for a designer.
Not to mention that all of these were achieved by the same person.
Even Jiang Qiwei, whom he had always admired, hadn't won so many Golden Satin Awards and cooperated with these brands all at once.
This was just too incredible.
"Lu Yan" raised his eyes, his expression serious and solemn: "May I ask Supervisor Wang, is such a person qualified to be the design director of Xinghe Capital?"
Wang Yi was speechless.
He opened his mouth, wanting to argue something, but he also knew that since General Manager Lu had said so, there was no way he was lying.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Yi hung his head. The alcohol in him had worn off a lot, and he began to realize that he had been impulsive.
He respected General Manager Lu so much, and of course he knew what kind of person he was.
General Manager Lu wasn't a fool. How could he put a useless person in such an important position in the company?
It was his own fault. He had been reckless under the influence of alcohol.
Fortunately, Wang Yi was young and able to admit his mistakes. He immediately bowed to "Ning Anmiao" and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Director Ning. I misunderstood you."
"You truly deserve the position of design director."
