She's Hard to Get

But the faces of the other members of the Design Department were not as good, especially Ding Ling, who had been here for a longer time than Ning Caier but still held the title of assistant. Her expression was strange, and even the corners of her mouth were twitching.

Ding Ling felt that Ning Caier's victory this time was not because of an advantage in her design, but because of the success of her marketing strategy. No matter what kind of product it was, after going through the media's promotion and bombing, she was sure to get a good result.

However, everyone would still do it on the surface. Even though the people of Design Department all had their own thoughts, they would all passionately raise their wine cups to congratulate Ning Caier. After all, no one was willing to offend a popular person, to find the right time to counterattack would be the best method.

"Thank you everyone, I will definitely work even harder." She drank one glass after another of the champagne, and after a while, her face turned completely red. But today, her luck was extremely good, because Han Yuqi's secretary, who had never interacted with Design Department before, had actually pushed open the door.

"Congratulations, Miss Ning. This is a gift from Director Han. Congratulations on becoming an official Jewelry Designer."

The secretary gently brought over a bunch of lilies, saying that Han Yuqi had specially prepared this one, the pink lilies, making Ning Caier's face turn even redder. She remembered that the meaning of the pink lilies was love's special sweetness.

"Teacher Xiao, I'll go thank Director Han."

Ning Caier placed the bouquet of lilies on the table and directly went to Manager Han's office. He seemed to have long known that Ning Caier would come, and had prepared the champagne to celebrate.

"It seems like you've already drunk quite a bit. Let's exchange it for some hot tea." Han Yuqi was always meticulous and considerate, when he saw Ning Caier's face turn red, he immediately put down the champagne in his hands and asked the secretary to make some hot tea for him.

"Cai'er, it's quite rare for you to achieve such a good result in such a short time after entering TianAo. It's not in vain for me to always look favorably upon you."

Han Yuqi had a smile on his face the entire time. This kind of smile was very modest and warm, causing Ning Caier to be distracted for a moment. Right now, there were only the two of them in the office, making her feel that this was a good opportunity to confess to him.

"Director Han."

Borrowing the courage created by the alcohol, Ning Caier took another step towards Han Yuqi. Right now, the distance between the two was only less than ten centimeters, but Han Yuqi did not display any discomfort. Instead, he relaxed and leaned on the desk, waiting for Ning Caier to continue speaking.

"Director Han …" "I …" The way she said her confession was even more difficult than Ning Caier imagined. She hesitated for a long time before being able to say those words, but then the phone on Han Yuqi's desk suddenly rang.

"I understand, CEO. I'll be right there." Han Yuqi answered the call, and even if it was a call from Ouyang Jue, he still stopped and waited for Ning Caier to finish the second part of the sentence, "Cai'er, what do you want to say to me?"

"I want to say that our department is having a meal today and I want to invite you to join us." In the end, Ning Caier did not have the courage to say it, so she changed the meaning of the second half of her words. She felt that it was very awkward standing here, so she quickly found a reason to leave, "Hurry up and go up.

Ning Caier forced out a smile and ran out frantically. The people of Design Department had already decided on the location, and it was at a cafeteria not far from the company. The restaurant was considered to be a mid-tier restaurant, it could satisfy everyone's appetite, and it would not exceed the company's funds.

"Cai'er, hurry up and go. They are all waiting for you."

Xiao Ningyuan knew that this was an excuse, but he didn't want Cai'er to stay together with the group of people who loved to play games with each other. He was more hopeful that he would be able to listen to some of her thoughts.

However, Ning Caier was not in a good condition today. Thinking about how she had missed such a good opportunity to confess, she sat in a daze on the passenger seat. She was unable to answer a few of Xiao Ningyuan's questions.

Because everyone was not present, the colleagues who arrived first could only wait at the door. They did not expect Ning Caier to come so quickly, so they were still venting their dissatisfaction.

"What's so amazing about that? Those people who bought things were all greedy for cheap items. Even if you put a piece of glass there, there are still many people who would be willing to buy it."

Don't say it like that, he is also relying on strength, look at the relationship between him and his superiors, and it's both Teacher Xiao and Han Yuqi, even the CEO likes to bring her along, do you have that kind of strength?

Ding Ling's words were sarcastic and sarcastic as she told everyone that Ning Caier relied on their relationship to get the upper hand. If Han Yuqi did not protect her back then, let alone design her, she would not even be an assistant now.

Xiao Ningyuan wanted to go over and berate them, but Ning Caier pulled him to the stairwell. She could not stand the awkwardness of meeting them at this moment, so she waited there for more than ten minutes before she used her phone to call Ding Ling.

"Ding Ling, Teacher Xiao and I are almost there. Have you guys gone in yet are you at the door?"

Ning Caier's tone was relaxed, as if she did not hear anything just now, but Xiao Ningyuan could still see the tears on her face. His heart ached even more, and she knew that she still had a long way to go, so as a designer, she would only give in on the surface.

When they returned to the entrance of the dining hall, the people of Design Department were all smiles again, they passionately invited Ning Caier and Xiao Ningyuan to enter, and then swarmed over the counter to get food. The cost of living here was 350 yuan per person. Normally, they wouldn't be so heartless as to come to a place like this with their own money.

"Cai'er, eat something. Your innate talent is yours, no one can take it away."

Xiao Ningyuan placed a light dish on the side in front of Ning Caier, and at the same time poured her a cup of warm lemonade. He hinted that she didn't have to care about anyone else, just to do her own design.

"I understand, Teacher Xiao. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ning Caier mustered up her spirit to pluck the food on the plate, while her other colleagues came over one after another. Although it was her celebratory dinner, the other people in the same department did not treat her as their leader at all, and were all talking about insignificant matters.

This noisy environment did not seem to have anything to do with Ning Caier at all. Everyone automatically excluded her, if it wasn't for Xiao Ningyuan, she would have gone back long ago.

"What do you think about the jewelry design for next season?" Xiao Ningyuan kept trying to bring up the topic of Cai'er, to prevent her from feeling awkward, but after a few unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to bring up his official business, and only this matter was left for everyone to look at.

"Cai'er, you go first."

After everyone's gaze had gathered, Xiao Ningyuan gave the initiative to speak to Ning Caier, but her mind was a complete blank today, so she couldn't think of anything. However, when she saw Xiao Ningyuan's gaze filled with anticipation, she still squeezed out a few words that were not too painful.

The company felt that it would be better to focus all their energy on this kind of item that didn't have a high return on money. As such, in these past few years, this plan had never been used, and it had never been used again.

Everyone in Design Department were laughing with their mouths covered, after all, this Ning Caier had only come to the company for a short period of time, so she did not know what had happened in the past. Ouyang Jue had clearly said before, other than the wedding ring, no man would make jewelry, but no one spoke a word, waiting for Xiao Ningyuan to refute them.

"Cai'er's idea was very good, but male jewelry wasn't something that was commonly used in TianAo. It would be quite difficult to develop it, so what other ideas do you have?"

Xiao Ningyuan tried his best to smooth things over. This meal was really too tiring, and he couldn't wait to finish it, but he knew that he had to build up Cai'er's prestige tonight, otherwise, no one would be able to listen to her commands in the future. It was just that this matter was a bit difficult, because everyone seemed to understand his intentions, and wouldn't take the bait.

"Who said I can't make male jewelry? How would I know if I don't try?"

Just when Xiao Ningyuan was feeling anxious, his savior actually came over at this time. Ouyang Jue walked over to their table with large strides, and expressed his dissatisfaction towards Xiao Ningyuan.

"The most important thing for Design Department is to innovate. We need to develop different series to help our companies earn money and not follow the rules! If you put it on my desk in the morning, you have to think of at least three. Now think of it, if not, you don't have to be this designer anymore. "

They all stood up and said their goodbyes, saying that they needed to go back and work overtime. Ouyang Jue had given them his permission, and after a while, other than Ning Caier and Xiao Ningyuan, the only other people left were Ouyang Jue and Xiao Ningyuan.

Ouyang Jue's expression suddenly turned from serious to gentle, he raised the wine cup in front of Xiao Ningyuan and said, "Now we can truly start to celebrate."

"You did that on purpose?" Seeing Ouyang Jue and Xiao Ningyuan's knowing smiles, Ning Caier immediately understood. Ouyang Jue was the savior that Xiao Ningyuan had called over to send off those colleagues who didn't mean what they said, so she looked at Xiao Ningyuan with a face full of gratitude. "Thank you, Teacher Xiao."

Ning Caier sat at the side and looked at her smiling face, as if she was at a loss. He already knew that Han Yuqi was going to give her the lily, so she must have definitely been smiling at him before, but why was she never willing to show such a smile to him?

"Don't think too much, I came here because I have something to talk to you about."

was not satisfied with Ning Caier's performance. He was clearly the one who had saved her, why was she still looking at Xiao Ningyuan as if he were just a set prop sitting by her side? This kind of treatment made Ouyang Jue want to go crazy with his existence.

Ouyang Jue immediately took out something that he thought would attract Ning Caier's attention. It was the bet agreement they had signed in the dining hall that day.

Ouyang Jue placed the bulging bag on the table in front of him, and even purposely made some loud noises, but this sound did not attract Ning Caier's attention. She was slightly more relaxed now, and even his appetite had recovered.
