Upon hearing that it was “President Quan’s woman,” Nan Wanwan subconsciously frowned, and a faint uneasy feeling rose in her heart.
However, no matter how unreasonable the other party might be, she could handle it. Soldiers would block water, and earth would cover it.
After stepping into the Quanxi studio, the spacious, minimalist yet stylish environment immediately left a good first impression on her. She followed Chen Ke and pushed open the glass door, walking into the workspace.
Chen Ke clapped her hands, signaling everyone to look over.
“Everyone stop for a moment. I have an announcement. This is the Chief Designer invited by upper management for Quanxi. She is also the well-known and admired Miss Doris.”
As soon as she said this, everyone instinctively stood up and gathered around her.
“Ke-jie, are you joking? You really invited that mysterious genius designer?”
“Doris? She’s my idol. I can’t believe I get to see her in person in my lifetime—and even work in the same company as her.”
“Am I dreaming? This feels too real. If Doris is the Chief Designer of Quanxi, I fully support it with both hands.”
Chen Ke smiled gently.
“Let’s invite Doris to say a few words.”
Nan Wanwan stood there in a clean yet gentle office outfit—beige and light gray tones with a refined design, simple but professional.
“Hello everyone, I am Doris. You can also call me Wanwan. I am new here, and I hope to get along peacefully with everyone, communicate more, and become good partners at work.”
Her simple self-introduction immediately earned enthusiastic applause from the entire team.
Suddenly, a sharp female voice broke through the harmonious atmosphere and shattered it completely.
“Chief Designer?”
The people who had just been applauding all fell silent instantly, as quiet as frightened quails.
After many years, hearing that familiar voice made Nan Wanwan’s fingers curl slightly, her eyes turning dark and deep.
The sound of high heels echoed like they were stepping directly on her eardrums.
“Who approved this appointment? Some trash picked up from God-knows-which foreign dump, and you think just because she came back from abroad she deserves a high-paying position?”
Seeing that Nan Wanwan did not respond, Chen Ke could not help but defend her.
“Director Nan, Doris is internationally renowned. President Zheng personally went to great lengths to invite her. Of course she is recognized.”
Nan Xiyan’s sharp face twisted even more.
She wanted to crush this newcomer’s spirit, yet someone so blind had the nerve to interrupt her.
“What are you? Did I tell you to speak? Are you itching for a beating?”
A surge of anger rose in her chest. She lifted her hand to strike.
Chen Ke’s heart skipped a beat, and she tightly closed her eyes.
But the expected slap did not land.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Nan Wanwan’s lips curled in disdain as she caught Nan Xiyan’s wrist.
“Director Nan, what a temper you have. Whether it’s just empty show or real talent, a comparison will reveal it. Resorting to violence after only a few words—how low-class.”
Nan Xiyan was so shocked she could not speak. Her widened eyes looked like they might fall out of their sockets, her brows trembling uncontrollably.
“You…”
She couldn’t possibly still be alive.
“I am the Chief Designer of Quanxi and the Executive Officer. My name is Nan Wanwan.”
She released her grip. Due to inertia, Nan Xiyan staggered backward, her waist hitting the edge of the table.
“How dare you push me?!”
Nan Wanwan looked down at her from above and could not help but laugh at how predictable her old tricks were. She clearly had not improved at all.
“So many people saw it, and there are surveillance cameras too. Director Nan, if you’re trying to pick a fight, your excuse is far too childish.”
“Nan Wanwan! Do you even know whose territory this is? Just wait. I will make you regret offending me.”
With that, Nan Xiyan slammed the door and stormed out.
“Wanwan, are you alright?” Chen Ke frowned in self-reproach. “It’s my fault—I got you into trouble with the most difficult person in Quanxi.”
“It’s fine. If she wants to complain, let her.”
After so many years of dealing with her, Nan Wanwan already understood her temperament clearly.
Chen Ke bit her lip.
“Director Nan… she is President Quan’s woman.”
Upon hearing this, Nan Wanwan frowned deeply. She could not imagine that Quan Yuchen would actually like that type of woman.
One was a strange woman, the other seemed mentally unstable.
However, she and Quan Yuchen had a prior agreement. If he broke his word for Nan Xiyan, then the fifty-million compensation fee must be completely waived, and he would also have to provide her additional compensation. Otherwise, she would not leave Quanxi so easily.
