Nan Zhi did not have the chance to reply before another call interrupted.
The caller ID was the unknown number that had texted her on the day of the sponsors’ meeting.
‘Little Flower, I’m back.’
Was it Brother Gu Sheng?
Nan Zhi’s eyelashes trembled. “Young Master Mu, I’m busy right now so I’ll hang up first.”
Nan Zhi hung up the call without waiting for Mu Sihan to respond. Just as she was about to accept the call from that unknown number, the call was hung up from the other end.
Nan Zhi dazed out a little as she stared at the phone screen that slowly dimmed into blackness.
When she glanced up to see the two different bouquets of flowers on her office desk, Nan Zhi felt her temple hurt.
Xia Xi’s excited cheers trailed over after about ten minutes. “Ah… I just received news that we can move to a new office in the afternoon. There are super clear 180 degree floor-to-ceiling windows! Director Zhang and our Sister Zhi have their personal offices too!”
Xia Xi skipped in and lay her head on Nan Zhi’s office desk. There seemed to be pink bubbles coming out from her eyes as she gushed, “Sister Zhi, you’re so fortunate. I heard that it was Young Master Mu who called the head of the broadcasting company. Because of you, we’re able to move to such a luxurious office and hold our heads high.”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. Glancing at the roses and the lilies again, she did not feel at all excited or fortunate.
In fact, she felt a heavy sense of burden pressing on her shoulders. The better Mu Sihan treated her, the more she did not know how to repay him.
At this time, her phone rang again.
Seeing that Nan Zhi was busy, Xia Xi returned to her own desk consciously. Nan Zhi hesitated before she swiped her phone screen to accept the call.
“I just heard that you requested from our head to have us change our offices in the afternoon?” Nan Zhi asked.
This time, Mu Sihan did not question who sent Nan Zhi the roses anymore. She was pretty and capable. If anything, it was not rare for her to have suitors around her. What he needed to do was to make her independent and make him her only back-up.
Doing all these for her was not a challenge for him.
“Do you want to thank me? If you do, you’re not allowed to work overtime tonight and you’ll leave your night to me.”
Nan Zhi held onto her breath as her heart skipped faster. “You want…”
He interrupted her words with a low tone, probably having guessed what she wanted to say. “What do I want? I said before that I will not force you to have sex with me again. It should be alright to have a meal with me, right?”
Nan Zhi felt the relief wash over her. “I’ll treat then!”
The man on the other end of the call scoffed, “Oh, you have money?”
Nan Zhi knew that he spent quite a bit of money with just one meal. She did not want to owe him anything, she would have to pay, even if he wanted to eat gold. “Don’t look down on me. Although I’m not as rich as you, I don’t lack the money to treat you to a meal.”
Mu Sihan could imagine her expression, with her eyes slightly lifted in an arrogant and competitive manner. He did not say anything else as he merely laughed softly.
His laughter seemed to come from his chest and it sounded especially magnetic.
Without saying anything fuerher, Nan Zhi ended the call with slightly red ears.
…
In the hospital.
Ding Shuman stared at Nan Yao, who spat a mouthful of blood and fainted, almost having a miscarriage from the anger seething inside. Her eyes were red. “Nan Zhi, that b*tch is exactly the same as her mother. They’re both shameless sluts! Yaoyao, it’s not worth for you to be hospitalized from being angered by those people! So what if she has a financier to back her up? She has an illegitimate son. He’s merely playing with her and won’t marry her. She’s just a mistress that will never be acknowledged.”
Nan Yao felt humiliated and embarrassed when she thought about what happened during the sponsors’ meeting. She had lost everything. Nan Zhi now had an exclusive sponsorship worth three hundred million. Although ‘Dreams Come True’ won over ‘Delicacy Wins the World’ in ratings last season, the company changed ‘Delicacy’s time-slot to Friday while they also had the top-star guest, Yannis. She would definitely lose the bet between Nan Zhi and her!
