She's Hard to Get

"I will pass it to Xiao Ningyuan in the next two days and leave the day after tomorrow."

In the morning, Ning Caier's mother, Su Lili, had specially come to the office to express her gratitude to him. Furthermore, she repeatedly explained that they would have to sacrifice their lives for the company, so it was likely that Ning Caier had told them that she planned to resign, but it was all rejected.

So Ouyang Jue took out Ning Caier's letter of resignation very confidently, and directly placed it in the shredder in front of her. Then, he placed all the shattered fragments inside the ashtray and burned them without leaving a single trace behind.

"I have indeed decided to go to the Milan, but not as a designer, but as an assistant. I hope that I can be demoted to a designer assistant."

The designers in the company were split into jewelry design and fashion design. Although she had interacted with fashion before when she was working as Xiao Ningyuan's assistant, the main thing that she did was jewelry design.

If she were to transfer to a fashion designer now, Ning Caier's abilities would not even reach the level of a designer, so she wished to be demoted and be paid for it. Only then would she be able to stay in the Sky Origin Stage with peace of mind.

"The company has always wanted to train you to be like Xiao Ningyuan, where you can take both jewelry design and fashion design talents into account. However, you don't need to suggest a salary reduction, and you're not the only one who'll be going to Milan this time, there are other people who will take charge of the entire Fashion Week's work.

Ouyang Jue felt very surprised after hearing Ning Caier's words. The company's internal staff reduced their position and salary must have done something wrong, so making such a decision now would only cause people to misunderstand, feeling that Ning Caier had lost her respect, and that her future prospects in the company would become more and more difficult.

In the design world, there was definitely more than this salary that had talent like her. Even though she could not immediately create profits for the company, but she could still be a reserved talent for the company, there was still a precedent for her.

In order to find a good designer, Ouyang Jue paid him for half a year without paying for him to break the contract with the original company. This was so that he could come back to his own company after the appointment was completed.

"CEO, I hope that my income matches my abilities. Moreover, if I can achieve a good result in terms of clothing design, it wouldn't be too late for you to let me back as a designer."

Ning Caier was very insistent on her decision. She only gave Ouyang Jue two choices: let her become an assistant in the clothing design team or let her resign.

Ouyang Jue didn't have a choice. He could only listen to Ning Caier and reduce her to a design assistant once again, working in the clothing design team. She was still one of Xiao Ningyuan's subordinates, but she didn't enjoy that single room's office anymore.

When Ning Caier moved out of the room again, everyone in the Design Department was secretly exchanging small talk. They weren't concerned about the reason why Ning Caier moved out, but were more concerned about who exactly sat in the small room. But after Xiao Ningyuan finished announcing Ning Caier's transfer orders, he hung a lock in that small room.

"If you think it through, then move back. I'll keep that room for you."

Xiao Ningyuan placed the key in the small room on Ning Caier's table, causing everyone to be unable to understand the current situation, could it be that Ning Caier did not move out on Ouyang Jue's behalf, but on her own free will?

This kind of situation, where no one in the company had ever appeared, caused everyone to panic. They were afraid that Ning Caier was just a spy placed in the upper echelons, making her an assistant only out of the blue, allowing her to observe the movements of all the employees more clearly.

Furthermore, there were rumors about the downsizing of the company, which quickly linked the two things together. Everyone believed that staying in the company all depended on Ning Caier's intentions, and this kind of downsizing caused Ning Caier's popularity in Design Department to rise instead.

Ning Caier was very satisfied with her current office condition. She quickly prepared the information to go to Milan, but until she got off work, Xiao Ningyuan did not announce which clothing designer would go with her to Italy.

"Cai'er, you just have to pack your stuff. The company has already made arrangements for you, so when the time comes, just follow those arrangements."

Xiao Ningyuan then told Ning Caier the rough outline of the trip this time. Other than the two charity events that he needed to attend the show, he could also arrange the rest of the time. This schedule was very empty, and half of the time, it was in a state of being freely arranged. Ning Caier felt that this did not conform with the company's usual practices, as Ouyang Jue would always complete the missions for the traveling personnel, in order to maximize the company's benefits.

Cai'er, this trip of yours is different from other people's. In addition to the things on the itinerary, you have to find your own muse, which is the only way to make the best clothing design. For the rest of your time, you can think of which source of inspiration is yours.

She told Ning Caier that the company had already sent two other designers to go first. They had their own travel plans, Ning Caier could meet up with them after she reached the Milan.

She was originally a newbie in the area of fashion design, the reason why the company did not give her too important work was all for the sake of performance. At least, on this trip to Milan, she did not have to worry about her report being incomplete, as it would affect the fashion design for the next season.

It wasn't until the moment Ning Caier boarded the plane that she knew that what Xiao Ningyuan had told her wasn't everything, because next to the seat of the first-class cabin, she saw a very familiar person. It was actually Ouyang Jue.

"CEO, are you going to the Milan too? Why haven't I heard the Teacher Xiao mention it? "

Ning Caier naturally picked up her luggage and helped her stuff them inside the luggage rack. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Ningyuan also did not know, the sales of the company's clothing in these two quarters have always been average, so I wanted to personally go to the Milan to check on the situation, is there a problem?

Ouyang Jue allowed Ning Caier to sit on a seat close to the window while he sat beside her, blocking her way out. This way she wouldn't have to stand up and switch seats with someone else, so that it would take him over twenty hours to fly from here to the Milan.

During this period of time, Ouyang Jue had always felt that he was being a little twisted. Ever since he had helped Ning Caier to settle that scandal, the degree of courtesy Ning Caier had towards him had reached a completely unfamiliar level. This made him feel really helpless, and he decided to use these twenty odd hours to allow them to return to their usual bickering relationship.

"Of course not, CEO. Aside from the itinerary, is there anything else you need me to do?"

She held her notebook and prepared to record down Ouyang Jue's words. Since he did not bring an assistant this time, there should be a lot of things that needed her to arrange, but Ouyang Jue, on the other hand, threw her notebook into his bag.

"I don't want to talk about business today, and Italy is a very romantic country. Can't you think about anything but business?"

The two were originally close to each other, but now that they were at such a close distance, they could even feel each other's breath. Coupled with the turbulence on the plane, the two of their shoulders started to rub against each other unintentionally, causing Ning Caier's face to slowly turn red.

If it was the past, Ning Caier would definitely push Ouyang Jue away without hesitation, and let him pay attention to his identity. But now that she thought about the favor he owed him, he actually only turned his head away, and did not look at his eyes.

"The Italian dress is very beautiful and has lots of delicious food. It's very suitable for tourism."

Ning Caier started to recite the words she had read before. The reason why Ouyang Jue asked that question was because he wanted to anger her and force her to return to a state where she was full of energy. However, it seemed that this medicine was not harsh enough, and he had to increase the dosage.

"Cai'er, actually, what you owe me is very easy to return. These few days in Italy, you have been accompanying me well …"

Ouyang Jue turned Ning Caier's face around so that she could look at him. His eyes were only a few centimeters away from her, and the distance between them made it clear that they were going to kiss. Even the flight attendants in the cabin turned their heads, leaving the two of them plenty of private space.

Ouyang Jue's actions made Ning Caier feel that this man wanted to start a new life. Could it be that the reason why he had been so obedient during this period was because he was at home?

But before Ning Caier could react, Ouyang Jue's head drooped down, she felt that her mouth was tightly sealed, and she could no longer breathe. Ouyang Jue's other hand slipped towards her waist, allowing her to instinctively raise his hand and push Ouyang Jue to the side.

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Let me tell you, Ouyang Jue, I will use my performance to repay the favor I owe the company. You better behave! "

Ning Caier pushed Ouyang Jue away with all his might, if not for the fact that he was wearing a safety belt, he would have already been sitting on the ground. She thought that he had changed, but in the end he was still the same playboy she was before.

Just how long would it take before Ouyang Jue was able to clearly recognize his identity? He was Bai Youya's fiancé, so he shouldn't covet any woman.

Ning Caier's shout was heard by everyone in the economy class. They all wanted to watch the show from the front, so the flight attendant quickly used the broadcast to notify everyone to stay in their respective seats. Since the plane was still rising, unbuckling their seat belts without permission would be extremely dangerous.

"It's normal for you to speak like that. When you first got on the plane, you were so weak. I thought you were possessed by something."

Ouyang Jue said with a smile. The fact that Ning Caier could still be angry in front of him was proof that the little universe in her heart was still present. She would definitely be able to stand up once again in the design domain. Moreover, this kind of treatment could satisfy the little desires in his heart, killing two birds with one stone.

"You did that on purpose?"

Ning Caier could not even turn her head. Who would intentionally seek a beating, and it was one that was beaten up by a subordinate? However, after she understood Ouyang Jue's intentions, she let out a deep sigh. Actually, she also felt annoyed by her submissive attitude every day, but she didn't know how to break through this barrier.

Ning Caier had already paid for her overconfidence once, so she didn't want to see a second time so quickly. Thus, she had done everything very carefully. Instead, it had caused her to be somewhat restrained, unable to find her original state.
