Lu Shaoting awkwardly put one hand on the floor, intending to use it to get up but he felt a sharp pain making him suddenly let go and collapse right back onto her.

It was as if the devil had not yet had enough fun with him, because that was the exact moment when his sister-in-law decided to leave her office. Forget about the other employees who were gaping and fighting the temptation to take photos. Did his sister-in-law also have to witness the most embarassing moment of his life? She even burst into laugher.

Lu Shaoting did not waste one more second, he stood up and scurried away.

Wan Jia approached the shocked Su Ling and gave her a hand. "Are you alright?"

Su Ling merely nodded and ran to the washroom. Luckily, he had held her head and prevented it from getting hurt.

Wan Jia could not help calling Lu Shaoting to mock him. "Yo, what on earth happened, huh? If I didn't know better, I would think you were here to defile my assistant."

"Shut up!" Lu Shaoting said coldly and hung up.

...

Lu Shaoting rushed all the way to Lu Enterprises, only to find his brother waiting in the office of the Vice President with a very serious expression.

Jeez, his morning was already awful enough. Did he also have to face this stone-faced man, and why was he here?

"Bro, why are you here?" he asked.

The man who was sitting right on his office chair looked at him coldly. "You are fifty-five minutes late."

"Sorry, I ran into a situation."

"You went to Elite Fashion World, didn't you?"

"I..." It was useless to lie to his brother as he already knew. "I did. Bro, before you scold me, can you hear me out?"

Lu Aotian silently agreed so he continued. "Bro, I'm just curious about that girl. I don't have any feelings for her."

Lu Aotian took a golden pen at the side and rolled it. "Not only do you have feelings, they are already very deep. Shaoting, how long have I known you? It's not my business who you like but no matter what, you should learn from my mistakes."

Lu Shaoting knew his brother had a point, and he understood why he would not want him to like anyone close to Mo Zilian, but he was stubborn. "I can guarantee that she is not a bad girl.

Let's make a deal. If she is trully a bad person, I will forget about her, but if she is not, you will accept her as your sister-in-law."

Lu Aotian really wanted to slap some sense into him. What sister-in-law? He had not even gone after her yet. Who knew if she had a boyfriend or if she was already married? Still, he made the deal. Perhaps he was being an overprotective brother.

That saturday, Wan Jia's welcome banquet was held.

Apart from most of the employees of Elite Fashion World, some influental people from Lu Enterprises were attending. This included President Lu and his brother.

Everyone was still wondering why the star of the night, Wan Jia, had not arrived yet when they saw her walk in hand in hand with Lu Aotian.

This was explosive! Did the President and Designer Wan know each other?

Not daring to ask a thing, they held in their curiosity until Lu Aotian spoke.

After greeting them briefly, he continued, "This banquet is to reward Designer Wan Jia for her hard work, as well as to welcome her to Lu Enterprises."

Huh?

Did the President make a mistake? What did he mean 'welcome her to Lu Enterprises'?

Unfortunately for them, Lu Aotian was not in the mood to explain anything and merely let them keep guessing.

Among the curious employees, at least a few of them understood what was happening. Wan Jia's superior was not their CEO. She was directly under the president! Just how good was her luck?

The person burning in jealousy was undoubtedly Dai Youran. After all her years of hard work, she had never had such an opportunity. Now that Wan Jia had arrived, forget about getting all the good stuff. It was even because of her that DY had been frozen for a whole agonizing year. What was she going to do for al that time? By the time she came back, Wan Jia would be way above her.

Did President Lu deliberately do this to pave way for Wan Jia? What was their relationship anyway?

As she had such thoughts, she seemed to have totally forgotten that it was her own fault that Lu Aotian did that. In fact, if not for the fact that Wan Jia decided to forget about the incident, he would have banned DY Brand forever and made sure it never revived.

Dai Youran found a chance when Wan Jia was alone and approached her with a sweet smile. "Designer Wan,"

Wan Jia rejected the wine she was being offered and smiled back. "I drank enough already. My alcohol tolerance is very low. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Dai Youran smiled even wider. "My brand has been frozen because of what happened between you and I, and I have outfits I would like to produce. Could you let me release them using your name?"

Wan Jia was taken aback. "Excuse me?"
